2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT V6 from North America
Summary:
Will decompose in 3.1 years
Faults:
Brake rotors completely shot by 20k miles.
The window and sunroof switches sometimes take a day off.
Bumper trim and Pontiac logo have come off twice.
General Comments:
The brake issue is by far the most annoying. All four rotors were warped at 10k miles and needed to be replaced at 20k. Pontiac dealer and owner assistance claimed that is normal wear and refused to do anything about it.
The window switches on the driver door and the sunroof switch all seem to be worn out. They work like a remote with bad batteries.
I had an Alero GLS before this that held up much better. Without the Olds 5 year warranty, there is NO WAY I am keeping the Grand Am around past 3 years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

My Grand Am is now over 7 years old. It has never had one single problem. All I have ever done is change oil, buy 1 battery, and 1 set of tires. I haven't even replaced the original brake pads yet. If Pontiac still made them, I'd buy another one without a moments hesitation.
