  • Great looking..big problems - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I love driving this car yet have had many large problems with it. I have heard that Ponitac Grand Ams and Prix tend to have a lot of electrical problems, yet mine had many more than that. Six months into having the vehicle I needed to replace my power steering pump. I just replaced a fuel pump and a day later needed a new intake manifold gasket because my antifreeze was leaking (about a gallon or two a day). The fuel pump caused a lot of problems because my car continued to break down yet mechanics found nothing wrong several times. I have put as much money into fixing my car as I did buying it, and I still need new antilock brakes.I would suggest buying a newer year or different vehicle.

  • Grand Am not bad - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Fairly decent vehicle for the price. Looks good and turns heads. Good amount of power but not very solid in highway driving. Rearview window has poor visibility and no room in back with the coupe. Body is very flimsy and while interior does look good, it is rather cheap with interior parts always coming loose. Brakes started making noise at 12000 miles.

    I have owned this car for less than a year, and I am satified overall. The only problem I have had is the drivers side power window quit working about 3000 miles out of warranty.

  • Like the car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I never owned a poniac before. Im a jeff gordan fan hehe but.. This car runs very good 100,000 miles and no repairs yet. even drive 9 hour trips home and back. I feel safe in this car. I love the look, and think its a great car.

  • Amazing car for being almost 12 - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I purchased my car two years ago with 99,000 miles and it now has 142,000. I have had very minimal repairs. Great car, paint still looks great with the exception of minor paint chips in the hood and bumper. I love the fact this car gives me all the power and response i need. Ive driven friends new Mercedes c230 thats feels gutless and slow to respond compared to my Grand am. I plan on driving the wheels off this car. After being 11 years old, i still catch myself looking at it and admiring the beauty of it. I see lots of grand am gts on the road and not to sound superficial, but mine is one of the best looking ones on the road. Overall i love this car and get compliments on it all the time!

  • Questionable Reliability - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I have owned this car for 3 years and have had several problems with it. I drive 80 miles a day and it gets me from here to there, but I am constantly having to have my rotors turned. The car also shakes a lot and I have had it looked at several times and they cant find anything wrong. The computer is always saying something is wrong. The throttle also sticks and it will speed up on its own. Now dont get me wrong I love how the car looks but when it comes down to it I would want something more reliable.

  • red rocket - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Bean a great car . had problem with E- Vac sensor. took months to figure out. brakes used to squeak and sounded like scaping backing out of driveway cold in the morning ONLY. Fine when warm. Great sound system. Been a very good car - sharp looking car. very well kept .super clean inside and out. and clean engine.

  • Few problems overall... - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I have had this car almost 3 years now, bought it with 60,000 miles. I did replace the Intake manifold gaskets due to coolant leaking into the oil, but this is a known problem with this car that will only get worse if not fixed. It wasnt cheap but I knew this going in, and got a good deal because of this. Other than that I have had no serious problems. Just a little problem with the hazard switch that ended up being recalled by GM and fixed for free anyways. Someone busted my passenger side mirror, but it was surprisingly cheap and easy to fix myself. I have been happy with this car.

  • about to trade it after 1 year - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I have the V6, almost all the frills. Fun to drive BUT horrible to maintain. Pontiac has been very accommodating with repairs but theyre needed so often. My car now has 42,000 miles - only put 6,000 on in one year. Beyond normal maintenance, I’ve fixed the compressor, head gasket, drivers side window (fell into the door), blinkers that quit on left hand turns, clock display that occasionally disappeared, brakes, and now it needs new struts (over $3000 in repairs on things Im told shouldnt yet be broken). Never dreamed I would want to trade it but now Im looking. Terrified of what I might have to spend to keep it.
