1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE 4 cylinder from North America
Summary:
Be prepared to fix it... a lot
Faults:
I have replaced the thermostat, brakes & brake calibers, fuel pump, both of my side mirrors have fallen off for no apparent reason and they are screwed on- My interior lights and the lights on the radio quit working, when you try to turn the radio down the volume goes up, my power steering belt is going out- I have replaced the alternator, the seals around the driver and passenger side doors and windows are loose, I have also replaced roders (sp?) - my brake and service engine lights stay on all of the time. When I bought the car it had 98K on it and now it has 149K- I have done some damage to it myself and I need a new headlight bar. It has been so much trouble, but I have never really owned another car to compare it to.
General Comments:
I like the interior of a grand am still- the cars do not cost very much and with the problems everyone has with them it is obvious why, they are not put together very well.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

There's a fuse that controls the interior lights and the radio combined. Try checking the fuses?
