2003 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Nice little car, just one annoying quirk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It randomly won't start because of the factor security system. I read somewhere on-line that leaving the key in for 10-15 minutes (or until the Security light stops blinking) will fix it. It always starts after that, but it's annoying. I'm not sure what triggers it, and from what I've read it's documented in the owner's manual (which wasn't in my car when I bought it used) and there's nothing that can be done.
Also, the upholstery has started to come loose on one of the back doors.
General comments?
Other than that, it hasn't given me problems. It's small, drives well, and I like it alright for what I paid for it.
