2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Stay away from the grand am"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Backup lamps fishbowl constantly.
3 Rocker arm bolts have come loose and stripped out of the head.
Multi-function switch has gone on the fritz twice.
Headlight lets in water.
Sunroof occasionally stops halfway opening or closing.
General comments?
This car has been nothing but a nightmare for me. All the problems started 1 month after warranty. I opened up a complaint file with GM, which got me nowhere. The car looks good, and it performs good (as long as its running). I am a student and purchased it hoping it would be a car i could rely on for the next few years......WRONG.
