1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE V6 from North America
Summary:
Overpriced JUNK
Faults:
Brakes are horrific I have replaced them 3 times, blower doesn't work unless it is on 3,4 or 5, replaced the alternator, fog lamps, radio because the display fades in and out, floating switch doesn't work for radio volume, makes horrible noise that noone can figure out where it is coming from, overhead storage keeps breaking, power lift on seat always gets stuck, 2 blown head gaskets so far, major leak in coolant, coolant was mixing with oil, service engine soon and check engine lights come on and stay on for weeks with nothing wrong. Low fuel lights stays on with a full tank of gas, seal on both windows is faulty, replaced rear seal on drivers side reverse light, passenger mirror is broken.
General Comments:
Pontiac should be discontinuing this crapy model. This car is not worth the hassle, it is grossly overpriced and a piece of junk. I could get better use out of a matchbox car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 99 Grand am as well, and ironically I had to change the alternator on the vehicle as well. I have been having problems with the car since I have had it. I also had to change the alternator, and right now the security system is really a big problem for me..
