2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Good car, bad reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel HUB numerous times. Had to be replaced at least twice on each side.
Air Conditioner constantly leaks, doesn't blow cold.
Passenger seat will not lock into place.
Miror remote stick fell into the door.
General comments?
I loved this car when I first got it. The two door Grand Am looks beautiful, and is quite peppy. No problem passing, accelerating with the 2.4L engine.
It is decently comfortable for the driver, and the rear passengers have plenty of room, but the middle seat in the back is hard... really hard.
Trunk is fairly large.
Sounds system is quite decent. The two 6x9's make as much bass as a small woofer.
Overall, it's a good car, I just feel like it is going to start falling apart quickly... Therefore I am selling it.
