2000 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I don't even know where to start. I purchased this car in May of 2000. It was my first 'real' car. Within the first couple of months, the speedometer quit working. After yelling with the dealership, they fixed it for free since it was covered by warranty.

In the last six years, I have put front and back brakes on at least seven times and replaced the rotors three times.

Both window motors have been broke two times a piece.

The fan only works on 3, 4, and 5. I have no clue why it quit working on 1 and 2.

There is a constant coolant leak. It is actually getting worse now.

The electronic switch on the driver seat no longer works.

The blinkers quit working, but were fixed through a recall.

The horn honks when the car is in park for about 15 seconds. No idea what is up with that.

I've had to replace the battery once after it exploded, the wheel bearings once, the alternator once, and the water pump once.

The door locks will constantly lock and unlock when driving down the highway... starting to think that the car is possessed.

The new thing now is Service Vehicle Soon, ABS, and Trac off lights are now on. I'm almost scared to see what's wrong with it because I have put so much money into this car.

General comments?

I loved this car when I first bought it. Being only 19 and finally purchasing my first new car, I was so excited. I didn't know 6 years later, I would have had this many problems with it. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice, but looks are so deceiving!! I have talked several people out of buying this car.
