1993 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"A headache"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car runs great, when it runs, but since I've owned it, I have replaced the transmission, six fuel injectors, starter, oxygen sensor, computer twice, alternator three times the fan motor twice, window regulators, and just yesterday the belts on the alternator and steering system just shredded and caused the car to over heat and lock up, left me stranded 70 miles from home, so the car is in the shop and now they're telling me the water pump needs replaced. $1600 in three months and other little things have gone wrong as well etc. It's a money pit, so I keep saying I'm gonna sell it, but why sell when I put so much money into it! So I still own it, truth is I can't afford another vehicle right now so I keep the car. I hear a lot of good reviews on the car, but along with some bad reviews. Beware buyers, I think they saw me coming.
General comments?
Cheap, but unreliable after five years!
