General Comments:

When the car has been drivable, I have enjoyed doing so. I drive a lot of highway miles and the car works well for that purpose. Many of the repairs were done under warranty. Although no monetary hardship occurred, work time lost was quite high. Since the warranty ran out I have put in over $2000 of my own money (less than 2 years). The car has less than 60,000 on it. I have NEVER put so much money into a new car for repairs in my life. Unfortunately, other commitments make it impossible to sell this car for another 3 years. I'd sell it if I could. Pontiac Customer Assistance is a joke, nothing, but talk.

General Comments:

This car really has not handled well for me.

I didn't really have any problems with it until my original warranty expired. Luckily I opted to buy the extended warranty that I have used a lot recently.

This car is not dependable, I don't like the feeling of not knowing what will break next.

It is however a very flashy car, that is one reason I bought it (stupid and young)

In my opinion, I would never buy another Pontiac product ever again. I have had problems dealing with the service departments at numerous dealerships, and overall the car is just not worth the hassle that comes along with it.

I know people that have the exact same car as I do, and they have many of the same problems. I don't believe that there are that many Grand Am lemons out there, I think it is just an overall bad product for everyone involved.

Faults:

In the rear windows the covering is separating from the door.

I have replaced the alternator three times in the last two years.

I have gone through two batteries.

Now I have a blown head gasket and the engine has to be overhauled. This costs about $2,000!!!

I go through rotors about every 9 months.

The driver side window regulator is busted.

The car lighter does not work.

The turn signal blinks fast.

The radio display shows funky numbers if it is humid or hot.

The black plastic guard in under the front of the car busted in a week.

General Comments:

This car has been one nightmare after another. I hate this car. It seems like it is a fun sporty, but family car, but it is no where near it. It cost more to change the oil, it doesn't get good gas mileage, and can be a real thorn in my side.
