  Timing Chain eats engine - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Cracky - October 8 - 6:00 am

  So much for regular maintenance and synthetic oil. The 2002 2.2L ecotec has a childs bicycle chain to drive the cams and it, like thousands of others , have failed. GM knew this. They made improvements in 2003. They sent dealer bulletins but not a word to the owners. I think this is a very poor way to do business. I visited the dealership and got a world class cock and bull story with an offer to take my car in trade for $125 dollars. Im done with GM... forever.

  Quality slips QUICKLY as car ages - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Dood - October 4 - 10:00 am

  Well, brakes replaces... now intake manifold gasket is bad... at 37000 miles. This is becoming a very weak point in these cars. As the cars get older, their weak quality shows through -- typical for GM I guess.

  Great Car. Will Buy Another Again. - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By VazDdrae - September 6 - 10:00 am

  This is my first car, which was bought from a craigslist seller. At first I didnt care to much for it since it was common, but i later realized how nice this car really looks compared to others I see on the road today. The interior is nice, and easily customizable. The exterior of the car is nice, and looks sporty. I have had only one issue with it. It died once at a stop sign, it started back up and was fine and had not had this problem for over a year now. When my brother gets this car, I will probably just buy another (newer) Pontiac Grand Am.

  By sumguy8402 - July 27 - 10:00 am

  Grand Am GT what a perfect car for a teenage guy to drive. Not only do you get a fun exciting car to drive, but your fuel efficient at the same time. While there are aftermarket parts available most are unenncessary for this car. Not only for guys a good chick car also. its got a powerfull V6 engine great styling. Most importantly its very comfortable interior is styled for everyone.

  ALL GOOD - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By JamesMIV - July 13 - 10:00 am

  I love the my Grand Am, just wished that I could have affored the Grand Prix. The only major maintance that it need was a replacement of the lower intake manifolds. After it was replaced I got better performance from it. All in all the GrandAm is a good starter car, but if you have the extra money I would recommened the Grand Prix GT just because of the larger size and increased performance.

  Sharp car... good performance, handling - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By skytech - February 8 - 11:53 pm

  Bought this car with 30K on it. Loved the styling better than previous model years. Generally I have been satsfied with the reliablity, performance and handling. I have driven 37K since I bought it. It has good acceleration (fuel economy has been 17 city to 26 highway MPG). It takes a bit of experience to get the most from the 3.4 V6 power band. The automatic shifts nicely but it is a basic style and leaves something to be desired. I wished I had looked for a 5 speed manual. Seats are comfortable but a bit wide to hug my slim build (Im 511", 168lbs.). Cornering is nice but a Corvette it is not. driver power window broke once (common so I hear). Cold engine ticks slightly but quiets.

  Zero Quality - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By cdubcols - January 18 - 8:36 pm

  Ive had my Grand Am for 2 years now and the drivers seat has broken, the timing chain broke and I had to have the engine rebuilt, the struts rattle, the wheel covers rattle, there have been several electrical problems... serious lack of quality. No foreign car would be on its second engine at 63k.

  Window problems - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By John - December 9 - 11:40 pm

  The electronic window device is of poor quality. The window on the drivers side was repaired twice, and is in need of repair again. The passenger side window has been repaired once.

  My car may be totaled now - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Brandan - December 9 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car although the exterior body parts are really upsetting. My car was parked when some guy floored in reverse into the back of it hitting the right side Quarter panel and if you dont know what that is it is like the front fender, well anyway from the force of the impacked the car slid into another car smashing the left side quarter panel well now my car is in jeopardy because the quarter panels are something called a unibody which is a whole bunch of pieces welded together
