    We purchased two of the Grand Am SE 2 within a week. The first experienced a module going which affected the anti lock braking mechanism. The part had to be ordered. It also had th electronic board in the dash go after 2 months. This made the tachometer freeze. Tehb 2nd car went 3 months and then had the same antilock braking module go. Be wary of this.

    This was my last car. It served me well. Wasnt exactly the best car I ever had though. Head gasket went on it shortly after I bought it (used). My aunt bought me a remote starter for it. Wich the car was not to reliable with. Every time I used the remote, I would have to check to see if the car actually started or not. All lights (running lights ect.) gave an indication that it did start, but the engine did otherwise. It would however start every time with the key (sometime a rough start). It was surprisingly good in the snow even with cheap black label tires. I will admit, it never left me stranded any where. I would not recommend this car for a tall person.

    All in all a good car except for when the security light comes on and car doesnt start unless you leave the key in the ignition switch for 10 minutes in the "on" position. Owners manual stated this. Estimated costs to fix $425, plus labor. Needs longer warranty. Very bad electrical problems, especially with the computer. RPM gauge was messed up for half a day. Going 60 mph and running at 3,000 rpm. Would not shift into overdrive. Kinda ridiculous. 1st Grand Am had similar problems but the security light stayed on all the TIME. Air conditioner did not work.

    A very nice care and good value for the money, however a little more head room would be nice.

    We have found the Grand AM SE1 Sedan to be a thrill to drive. We would definitely recommend the V-6, as we are partial to the torgue of the larger engine. The car is very reliable, has a the basic power options, and handles well for a mid-size sedan. Comes with all-season touring tires that are also speed rated, which adds to the handling of cornering. Its a great little performer. Its not the G6 though, its 25 ponies short, although I prefer the Grand Am design over that of the G6.

    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.

  • Looks over quality - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    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.

    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.
