Besides the history of terrible brakes with the Pontiac Grand Am, the only other problem I have is with my horn sometimes. The horn works about 75 percent of the time, reason for it not working the other 25 percent is unknown. I was told by a mechanic that it has something to do with the air bag in the steering wheel, and the button that works the horn. Some confusing stuff, but to me anyway, it is not worth spending $49 dollars and an hour to tell me what's wrong with it.
I am not planning on keeping the car long anyway, if it lasts me another 35 thousand miles, I am going to retire it and get a new Grand Am GT. I know they have crummy brakes also, but for the looks, style, speed, and price, it's worth dealing with. I don't know what it is about the fog lights, fancy styling, nice premium wheels and that little GT sticker that get my blood boiling, but whatever it is, it truly gets me going. But besides that horn problem, I think it is a truly great car.
The Pontiac Grand Ams are nice cars, truly reliable, dependable, fast, fancy designed cars.
The only car I will ever buy is a Pontiac Grand Am. I am going to set a trend in my family for the only one crazy enough to keep buying the exact same car (different years....) over and over again. I am truly a die heart Pontiac Grand Am fan!
Your comment on Grand Am's is at the very least interesting. However, I must ask why you are so closed minded of every other make and model? I have worked ant many different dealerships (including a Pontiac dealership) as a car salesman. I have had the opportunity to drive and own many different makes and models including your own. My suggestion to you is to look elsewhere. Before you decide to purchase another Grand Am you might just want to test drive its competitors. If you have an open mind, I assure that you will find superior performance, value and reliability at a dealer other than your Pontiac store.
