1996 Pontiac Grand Am 1996 review from North America
"Sad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve body needs replacing on the transmission, no help from Pontiac or the dealership where I purchased it even with such low miles on the car.
General comments?
It still looks good and runs good except when the transmission starts to slip in drive. They know there is a problem but there is no recall.
