1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE from North America
Summary:
Could be a good car, burns a hole in your pocket for repairs though
Faults:
Driver side window off track
Signal lights stopped working
Paint started chipping and peeling out of nowhere
Power locks stopped working
Underneath the dash sounds like a mouse/bird
Gas gauge not accurate - It goes from full to a quarter tank back to a full. You never know how much gas you really have
Power mirrors failed
Car sounds like it will fall apart at the slightest bumps.
General Comments:
When I bought the car and test drove it, seemed like a good car. It was in fairly good shape. I knew the risk of driving a slightly older car, however it was my first car.
Shortly after buying, the dash started squeaking like crazy at every bump. Everything after that just started going in my car.
I understand it's old however, that much should not be going wrong at once. It will cost me a lot to fix to a standard of even selling.
It's comfortable to drive and I get fairly good gas mileage, however I do not think that it is remotely worth fixing everything. I will never buy a Pontiac again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

That sound might be the shield on the catalytic converter rattling. I've heard the same thing on other cars. Check that out.
