1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Powerful, reliable, great looking vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed to fix the ABS brakes right away, but I knew that when I bought it.
Driver's door doesn't close properly, have a hard time opening it.
Driver's side window in front off track. One on passenger side works, but barely.
Vibrates BADLY when going 60 MPH or higher. Needs alignment.
Has a horrendous loud, hollow, tinny sound from under the car. Anyone tell me what that might be?? Hope it's not costly.
Not good on bumps. I figured it was because I was used to my minivan, so no biggie.
Everything rattles in the interior. The dash is especially bad.
Trunk only opens from the inside, the key the dealer gave me doesn't work. It only works for the doors.
Seat belt on the driver's side is hard to use, it doesn't go into the buckle properly.
When I bought it, the wipers worked, now the passenger side one is broken.
Passenger door doesn't unlock unless it's by hand (I have power door locks).
Fog lamps don't work.
To me, it's all minor stuff because it has INCREDIBLE power for a 4 cylinder.
General comments?
Great on gas.
Paid $2000 for it, and I think it's worth it. I have had it for about 2 months now, and she's pretty reliable. I think the previous owners took care of her well, motor-wise I mean. The motor is wonderful. I am amazed at the power of this car. Plus, she's a great looking car, silver 4 door. Spoiler, alloy wheels, great looking car. Cosmetically, and motor-wise, I am extremely happy. This car has more power than my minivan did, which was a V6.
