Overview & Reviews

Base model SEs get a new 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, while GTs get newly styled 16-inch wheels. All models receive a console upgrade and two new exterior colors.

• Lots of standard features, available five-speed manual transmission, crisp handling.

• Price creep has followed sales growth, true sport sedans need a five-speed with a V6, cheap interior pieces.

  ga gt - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By cwood - November 20 - 10:00 am

  my car is awsome.love the handling,the performance,and the looks.it asks what i want from the car and has a lot of room for a car that is considered a midsize car.so far not one problem and am always smileing to my car when im about to drive it .its styling is quite distinctave and my only problem is that there are too many grand ams on the road ,but i must remind myself that only a few are GTs!!!....if i had a say in future grand ams is that they should have locking gas caps,and a power antenna.oh one more thing lighted visor mirrors!!!!!thank you pontiac.

  ROLLING UP DASH PAD - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By wsteadman - July 6 - 12:45 pm

  I have a 2002 grand am se sedan 4cyl AT, AC, CDAMFM RADIO, MANNUAL SEATS. I have a problem tha Pontiac has refused to take resposiblity for. The dash pad has started to roll up, has broken the plastic defrost deflectors now the window will not defog properly (safety hazzard). The passenger side air bag is in the dash under the loose dash pad. The airbag is designed to punch thru the pad but with pad being loose it will not function properly and the loose dash pad will impact the passenger instead of the airbag..(safety/deadly hazzard) would like to know how to fix this problem. 9 of 10 gran ams I have looked at have the same problem. The subquality glue is letting go.

  Passlock problems - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Ali2681 - May 28 - 3:00 pm

  Until this year I have never had a problem with my Grand Am. I loved the car....that is until I started getting stranded all the time. Everyone says to wait 10 min with the key on but I always end up waiting at least 40. And its not always my security light that goes on its the service engine soon, trac off and ABS. I am getting really tired of having to sit in parking lots for up to an hour waiting for my car to start, how will I go grocery shopping when its hot!? This is a BIG problem and GM needs to do a recall on this issue. I have always had a problem with the brakes on this car too.

  Steering Problems - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By alank - January 27 - 10:00 am

  1st problem was steering rack replaced at 9000 miles. 2nd problem steering pump replaced at 15000 miles. 3rd problem sensor for variable rate steering replaced at 19000 miles. Car now has 23000 miles. At 16000 miles also replaced front brake pads and rotors. This is the most troublesome car I have ever owned. I plan to trade it in. Lemon Law also crossed my mind.

  Good Riddance! - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By jimdes - January 13 - 3:23 pm

  I thought Id be stuck with this car, but fortunately, I totaled it. It was nothing but trouble from day 3. First, the radio had to be replaced because it was draining the battery when the car was parked. Then there was a series of electrical issues, primarily with the brake warning lights coming on indicating the ABS and ETS were not functioning. Pontiac didnt know how to fix this and just told me to keep driving it. Finally, on the 5th attempt, it was fixed. Theres also a common issue that the blinker sound will come on while driving. Thank God I purchased a 60K warranty on this when I bought it brand new! My partner, on the other, hand purchased a 2002 Grand Am SE1 and had 0 probs

  Grand Crap - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By EMC - November 27 - 10:00 am

  This car started off good and turned into a lemon. The GM dealer wanted $400 to replace breaks and rotors. I had to replace a rim on the car and that was $180. This was the worst car I have ever owned. The car was made very poorly.

  2002 pontiac grand am se1 - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By yaddagirl - November 14 - 2:00 am

  This is a great vehicle, I absolutely love it. The only thing I do not like is the fact that it comes in a 4- cyclinder. This vehicle is too big to be offered in a 4-cylinder engine. It seems as if the engine is working too hard to pull the weight and it will pass everything but a gas station. It should only be offered in a 6-cylinder, like the GT. It is definately more cost effective in the longrun.

  2.2-L4 ENGINE and MANUAL TRANNY!! - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By bill 731 - July 15 - 7:26 pm

  Great car so far,only 600 miles on it so I can give no opinion on reliability.This Ecotec 2.2-L4 engine is so smooth you would think it was a six Cly.And the 5 speed manual Trans.is a perfect mate,we got 35 MPG on only the 2nd fill up.
