Have replaced the brakes 7 times.
Fuel gauge has not worked since 120,000.
Cat-convertor replaced at 144,000.

General comments?
My Grand Am has been a wonderful car!
I've never had no problem's when it comes to passing other cars. The power is there with it's big 3.4 V6 and can keep up with best of them! It may sound like I've had lots of problems with the car. However, it's never failed to start and it sure looks good!
My only criticism is the cup holders are in the wrong place and the rear of the car makes it hard to see whats behind you.
