  • LEMON, LEMON, LEMON - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Ive had nothing but problems with this heap, and dont know many people who havent (if you havent, you will). Brake rotors need replaced every 10k mi, power windows replaced 2 times each, sunroof motor replaced, turn signal replaced twice, leak in fuel line, I could go on for days. Im only stuck with this car because I went back to school, but you can bet the minute I graduate that piece of junk is outta here. DO NOT BUY A PONTIAC...EVER!

  • Falling apart - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought the car brand new and three years later I cant wait to get rid of it. The fuel pump went out at 26000 miles. Seals around passenger windows leaked so flooded my interior at 29000. The front bearings had to be repacked at 32000. Windshield plastic moldings flew off while driving down the road. Window falls in door and costs $600 to fix!! Rearview mirror falls off repeatedly despite getting fixed everytime. The list continues, I will NEVER buy another Pontiac . . .or Domestic for that matter.

  • Too many problems - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Have owned car since it was new. Many problems including heater control switch on dashboard broken, brakes and rotors three times, sun visor falls off,etc. Just out of warranty and had to have intake manifold gasket leak - repaired for $800. Mechanic said, "poor design" and has had others with same problem. Not happy with car for what it cost new - $21,000. Ride is rough. Plan to sell soon and get something reliable, that is to say, something not GM.

  • Looks nice, no Quality! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    From the day I bought my 200 Grand AM, I have had to put thousands..yes thousands, into this car. The first problem was in the very first month, the power steering went ... it was covered under warranty .. .thank god, but the very day I picked it up the emergency brake was now not working. The car has just under 105,000 KMs on it and I have had to replace the brakes 3x, not only that the front AND rear struts/springs have had to be replaced 2x!! The next thing blew my mind! As I was driving all of a sudden the cassette panel started to smoke??!! Then it went away then there was this "clicky click" noise comming from the inside...That was another $300 to fix...and the coolant is constantly leaking!

  • HORRIBLE CAR!!!! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    This car has cost me thousands of dollars in repairs, not to mention the repairs that had to be done while still under warranty. Repairs include: 4 brake jobs, intake gasket crack, front wheel hub bearing replace, fuel pump went out, power steering went out, etc. etc. I am trading it in and cutting my losses! Dont buy this car.

  • Dont believe good Grand Am Reviews - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought my 2000 Grand Am new. It has had 4 (yes 4) rack and pinions. It has had all 4 window motors replaced 2 times each and now another one is broken. All totalled, my warranty company has paid almost $10,000 in repair bills in 4 years! Not to mention a new transmission, 3 fuel pumps, rotors (recalled). The trim around the windshield keeps coming off. The paint has had to be done on the trunk and wing. What a piece of crap - I dont think I could even give it away at this point - nobody would want it.
