Faults:

I had to replace the muffler lost the converter. Had to replace the bumber and all the other parts of the bumber.

I had to replace the left front side window. The latch that moves the window up and down was broken.

I had to drill holes in the bottom of the floor mat to drain any of the water that filled my car. For some reason the car didn't come with floor drains.

I had to replace my heating vent. The one part that controls my air conditioning and heat.

General Comments:

This car is fast, almost to fast for me.

Good car to handle.

No problems with the gas.

Everything about this car is great.

Faults:

Transaxle Converter Clutch solenoid malfunctions.

Replaced an alternator.

Seats are worn.

Transmission sometimes shifts harshly from park to drive or from reverse to drive.

There exists a slight miss. It's not the fuel filter nor spark plugs.

General Comments:

This car is easy on gas. I get about 23 miles per gallon (about 9.5 kilometers per liter).

The seats do get uncomfortable on long trips (especially since I am 6 feet (183 cm) tall).

Faults:

My heater core recently went bad.

General Comments:

This has been a very dependable vehicle.

Other than the fun I had changing the headlights. I have no complaints.

Will soon be changing the heater core, I will let you know how that goes.

This car is very comfortable on long trips. and seems to handle well in snow.

Faults:

TRansmission replaced at 90,000 miles Engine replaced at 93,000 miles Water pump replaced at 85,000 miles.

General Comments:

Since the car was purchased used, the previous repairs were done as needed. The car has performed admirably and has been in daily used since 1997. It is a quick, efficient and basically reliable car with mimimum daily maintenance.

Faults:

Since I have owned this Grand Am, I have replaced the battery and tailpipe.

As far as overall reliability is concerned, it has been a great car.

However, it is showing some rust on the rear quarters and doors.

General Comments:

The performance on this car, leaves a lot to be desired.

For instance, I can pass most cars like they are sitting still.

As far as the interior is concerned, it is very nice and clean, with no wear.

This summer I plan to do some bodywork on the car and paint it.

I never was a fan of smaller, more modern cars, but I really like this car.

As far as the Pontiac Grand Am is concerned, I am glad to have one.

Faults:

The distributor was not working right, so it had to be replaced.

Recently the engine was over heating due to a small leak in the radiator fluid lines. This caused about 10 things to go wrong. The heat warped the cam shafts which broke the timing chain which cause an interference between the valves and the piston. This in turn putting a hole in the piston. And all at the same time the water pump went. Basically the QUAD 4 cannot take any abuse. It was engineered to work one way with nothing going wrong or else it craps out.

General Comments:

The car wasn't that fast, but it didn't look too bad for its year. The 92 looks a lot better.
