1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"The car is sporty, just what I was looking for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car used July 24,2003. It was a birthday present to myself. The car is a black 2 door Pontiac Grand AM GT that I love. It makes me look COOL! I bought it with 54K miles on it. I am grateful to the dealer to tell me about the extended warranty. This was my first car that I had bought. All others were gifts from my parents. But.. I have had the following problems
1) water pump replaced
2) the needle to show the amt of gas replaced
3) transmission rebuilt
4) motor!!!
5) fuel pump and filter
And to the commets about coolant leaking. I had that problem that lead to having to get a motor. 1-3 were covered by my extended warranty, but 4 and 5 are covered by my parent and me. Grateful to have an experienced mechanic that is my uncle in the family. Yeah, the knob for my radio does not function well, but that is small stuff I am not sweating that. I can just use the controllers that are on the steering wheel. After all of that I love my car and it will be paid for in December '06!!
