2002 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Good car, but I'm having my worries!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shortly after we got the car, the interior dome light was acting temperamental. We have just been living with this issue--since we park in the garage at night, the lack of interior light in the car isn't really a big deal.
HOWEVER! In the last 2 weeks, the dome light problem has fixed itself, and a new issue has emerged. The clicker for the signals just goes off by itself! I'm afraid to take it in--electrical stuff is never cheap!
I figured the dome light was not properly installed, but now that it is working and this new problem has come up, I'm worried it's something more!
General comments?
Overall the car has been serving us wonderfully!
We were a little upset to have the windshield crack after only 3 weeks of owning the car, but that's not the car's fault!
The dealership was okay to deal with. We were disappointed when we picked up the car and had been told it was detailed. A couple of days later, we pulled the emergency brake up and found cigarette ashes in the material around the brake.
