Dont believe good Grand Am Reviews - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By adn1996 - March 26 - 10:00 amI 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.

Solid car thats fun - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By chipontiac - March 21 - 10:00 amI bought this car used with 33,000 miles on it. It now has 50,000 miles on it. I have had not one problem what-so- ever. I have yet to replace brakes (need to in about 3,000 miles), tires, or any other part. The car works great, sometimes it has some trouble turing over, but it has always started for me. I have babied the car, changing the oil every 3,000 miles and being easy on the brakes and accelerator most of the time. It is unrealistic for you to beat on a car and expect it to run well, if your hard on the brakes expect to change them alot, if you hot rod the car around expect to get bad gas milage. The car definitly has kick to it, and is equiped with a very good sound system.

Junk - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By m.j - January 11 - 5:16 pmI bought this car with 63000 miles on it and has been nothing but headache. Window motors broke down, brakes, overheats; you name it. It is unreliable and very unsafe car.

Great car, even for families! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Tinnelle - November 22 - 10:00 amThis was definitely the car of my dreams! Safety is a definite in this vehicle -- the car has been hit four times in the past two years that Ive owned it, however, its come out in the end looking like a charm and still functioning perfectly -- and occupants sustained only minor injuries. This is remarkable considering that the first accident involved a Ford Explorer hitting the passenger-side between the two doors with their front right fender. $13,000 worth of damage, but easily repaired, and again very little injury to the occupants. Gas mileage is great -- lots of room for lots of people and furry friends (we have two dogs).

My pontia saved my life. - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By ferrellb - November 2 - 3:59 pmYesterday I had a sever wreck. I totaled my pontiac going into a ditch. The car is the only thing that took a hit. I was able to get out of my pontiac with just a seat belt burn and a broken nail. I had no hospital bill as I am completely fine. I spun around in the ditch and came back on the road. This car is very safe and reliable car. My pontiac is destroyed and looks like those horrible accidents you see on the news where people were killed. My pontiac took all the beating for me and saved my life. If you are thinking about getting a first car for anyone, I recommend the pontiac its very safe and reliable.

Nice looking, but........ - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Kimmyc - October 30 - 10:00 amIt looks great. Have owned it for 2yrs & although it looks really nice, there are problems. As soon as the 36,000 mi warranty was up, there was a crack in the fly wheel - VERY expensive. Thsnks to the dealership, they covered it. There have been electrical problems. , the blower motor went on speed 1 & 2 -t $100 to fix. The drivers side window would not go up or down - $300 to fix. There are other signs that there are pending electrical problems. Now the car wont pass inspection because of a bad wheel bearing, NO MORE - so needless to say, I am trading it before it kills me financially.

Fun to drive - horrible to own - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By bcmtojm - August 30 - 2:00 amThis car has been in for service more times than any of my previous cars combined. Twice the very expensive intake manifold gasket has been replaced as well as gaskets for the power steering fluid and transmission fluid. Ive also had to have the turn signal noise indicator replaced because it wont stop clicking(which is once again broken). Ive had a gas module replaced and the power mirror control fixed. This car is great when it it running properly but not worth the trouble or the money!
