Faults:

Front brake rotors/pads at 24,000 miles.

Many trouble codes (Misfires, Oil pressure sensor, Fuel problems)

Sometimes has difficulty starting, engine will "search" when idling.

Lower rear reverse lights fishbowl constantly.

Exhaust pipes gather surface rust easily, however is remedied by lightly sanding them down.

Lower Intake Manifold gasket leaking at 27,932 Miles.

Driven aggressively, gas mileage plunges very quickly (have recorded numbers as low as 10 MPG).

General Comments:

This particular Grand Am GT is a dark forest green and has the SC/T appearance package.

The composite ram-air hood makes the car look fierce, even while standing still.

The 3.4 OHV V6 engine has the Ram-Air package, and different final drive gearing than the non-GT Grand Am's, this car gets up and goes like no other, but runs out of steam up top.

I don't like the fact that you can't turn off all of the exterior lights while you are sitting in a parking lot, etc.

Chrome factory wheels made by Enkei are very sharp looking, but get dirty and pitted quickly.

The factory exhaust sounds just right, with a nice low tone rumble at low engine speed and idle.

Faults:

My fuel pump went out at 89500 miles.

General Comments:

This car is very quick, reliable, and gets great gas mileage.

The stereo is clear and loud.

This car is definitely great for an American car, or any car for that matter.

It handles like it is on rails.

The A/C is really cold.

The seats are comfortable.

Every time I raced a Honda, or whatever has a wide exhaust, my car made it looks as if the other car was going backwards.

I would highly recommend this car for anyone.

Faults:

Rack and pinion gear had to be changed after 2 weeks of purchasing the vehicle.

Fishbowl effect in both rear reverse lights.

Parking brake light will come on and stay on when it's raining or wet outside.

Very loud howling noise coming from front driver's side; replaced the wheel bearing 3 times within a month, and the problem is still there.

Sometimes the car will not start on the first try.

General Comments:

I always wanted to own one of these cars, but now that I have one, it seems it's just one problem after another.

For me, I didn't think I would be investing more money in repairs than the car payments. The extended warranty hasn't been helpful at this point.

It looks good and it's fast, and doesn't hold back on the options.

But it's just too much money on the repairs, having to take it to the shop as much as I have and wait around until it's done, what an inconvenience.

After this car, it has changed my opinion on Pontiacs, and it's safe to say I won't be purchasing another Pontiac in my lifetime.
