    good no major problems . 40,000 wheel hub bearing went out on the left side . It roared like a truck but it was under Waranty. fun car to drive but this is one of those cars you want a warranty that why I have the 100,000 mile power train.I have no problems since the wheel bearing. Put ventis hr II tires on. at 54615 mile she runs great. May trade her in though for a gas sipper and not a guzzler.

  • Best Car Ever Owned - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    We looked all over for a good reliable car. I made the whole deal over the phone, got it for 3600 less than asking price. This is the first Grand Am we ever owned. Only had it for a month and so far its been great. Does have rattle in front-end, replaced the front bushings (recall campain on it.) Not sure what the other noise is, in shop having looked at. Over all performance is great. We have the SE1 with 3.4 V-6. Love this car. I would buy another. So far no major problems, just a little rattle in the front end. Gas mileage could be increased by a few tricks, but thats still coming!

    This vehichle has a lot of get up and go even at highway speeds. Handles well . I have ram air package with ram air hood which gets lots of looks and comments.Dash is very sporty with bright red lighted gauges which everyone likes.Some criticize the 150mph speedometer. But if your like me and like to test the limits, a 120mph speedometer would have failed me. Top speed thus far for me, 124mph with no alterations(yet). The ride is the smoothest Ive ever experienced. At 124 mph it was smooth as glass.

  • Looks over quality - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM

    I purchased this vehicle back in 07 it was working perfect up until about a year of having it all was well until I noticed some things going out and as murphys law fix one thing another breaks. hazard switch was the first, then the breaks, then the bearing, electrical issues, a/c, wont turn over on hot days, heat goes on smells like gas, and now my window motor. this car is a beauty....but on the in-inside its all falling apart and i cant afford another vehicle let alone the repair costs. Dont bother to get this car if you REALLY want one, you can buy mine $12k.

  • Jurys Still Out - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM

    Since I bought the car I have had several problems that I am told are COMMON problems with Grand AM. So my question is why are these not recall items. I have had to replace the Traction control sensors 3 times and I just had to replace the ignition lock and switch which are of course only dealer parts because they have to reset the security features so some $1000.00 later I have my car again until the next COMMON problem occurs. I like the Grand AM but would never by another one. Foreign cars seem to be the most reliable. And I am all for AMERICAN made but our cars dont compare and thats a shame.

    I am a 40 year old who purchased a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am in March of 2006. I will have to say, that I test drove several other cars before making my decision to purchase the 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. I am well pleased with handling, performance, & reliability. I would recommend this car to anyone out there who wants a sporty, reliable & excellent gas mileage automobile. The car also has a fantastic stereo/CD system & that is also one of its best features. This car is one of the best at gas mileage & as a testimonial I have run three tanks through my 2004 Grand Am & I have averaged 17.7 mpg. on one tank, 17.5 mpg. on the second tank & 19.5 on the third tank.

    Never thought much of the Grand Am- basic trans. bought it for 50% off sticker price to share with my teenage son. Had it for a year now, its not that bad a car. It handles very well, comfortable yet sporty. fine stereo for stock(monsoon) only real complaint is fuel mileage. only got 19- 20. installed TORNADO device-now ave.22- 23
