  Not worth your money - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By fla2000 - March 6 - 10:00 am

  Save your money, do not bother with a Grand Am. I have had numerous problems with mine, some within the first year. Original battery cracked open and acid leaked out (within first year), blinker went out after a few minutes of driving each time (1st year), oil leak, coolant leak, replaced factory radio, etc. Need I say more? Also, beware that youll need the "ultra high performance" type of tires, so when you go to replace them it costs a fortune.

  Something EVERYONE should read b4 buying - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By BridgetJ - February 14 - 10:00 am

  To make a salty story saltier, I bought the car on 07/02/03 it is now 09/20/03 and I have spent over $1500 in repairs. The car had one owner, so I paid cash thinking I was getting a deal. WRONG. I had to have my freon replaced, and it holds 2.5 lbs so that was the least of my worries. The blower resistor failed, coolant leaks, all kinds of noises caused by front and rear suspension, gas tank reading isnt totally correct. Ive also had to have the spark plug wires and spark plugs replaced, normal maint... yeah, BUT found out the wires were bad to begin with.

  Owned long time - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By TB - February 13 - 10:00 am

  I have owed this vehicle for a long time. It look goods nice interior design except for cup holder placement. The vehicle is reliable overall but requires intake manifold gasket replacement every 2-3 year. Back window motors stop working at 100k miles. Front brakes do all the work. Car has good ride a control on road. Major engine issue at 165K if you dont count gasket replacement mention above every 2-3 years.

  GrandAm, my best car ever - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By cc - February 10 - 5:06 pm

  O.K., so we all know about the window motors, weak right side mirror, flimsy bumper covers, brake problems, faulty security lights, and the costly intake gasket job requirement at about 60,000 miles. Still and all, this car has been wonderful to drive. I wouldnt expect to operate any car without having to fix kinks, and when I add it all together, this car has not been very expensive to own. As for the security light not allowing you to start the car, try a new key, also, letting the car just sit for 20 minutes before you try to restart it works everytime. One honest mechanic just replaced a wire and it did not happen again for over a year. Beware expensive repairs for this.

  99 Pontiac Grand Am GT (4-Door) - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By TBC - February 1 - 10:00 am

  Overall a good vehicle. I had a little problem with the rotars having to be turned once a year (the severe vibration during braking let you know it was time)but, hopefully that is fixed now. Other than that I have had no problems with the car. Smooth ride and great handling.

  Could Be Better - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Sam - January 11 - 6:16 pm

  Power seat went out after 15 mos (why up/down power but forward/back manual?) Have replaced 3 window motor units. Intake manifold gasket blew. Finish on plastic bumper and spoiler is flaking badly. Rear view mirror fell off after 1 year. Rear light assembly leaked and bulb bases corroded.

  GM - NEVER AGAIN! - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Patio - January 9 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is not designed for longevity. At 37,000 miles the transmission need to be replace. It consistently experienced electric problem with interior swutches and exterior lighting. The water pump failed and finally the head gasket went resulting w/ water in the oil.

  A FUN DRIVER - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Mike - December 12 - 3:30 am

  I was amazed at the power of the 3.4 V- 6 and yet it gets me a constant 29 miles per gallon on regular fuel. It is comfortable to drive and handles great. The 4 spd auto trans. is great for the miliage, but you need to use the 3rd gear to get the car to hold back on steep down hills or you will use up your brakes. In the 105,000 miles we have driven it I have replaced the front brakes once and checked two weeks ago still have 90% and the rear is still at about 40%. The car just turned 250,000 and the engine & trans. work great. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and I still have no need to add oil in between oil changes. For trips it is great with all of the room in the back.

  The POS that refuses to die - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By matthew32 - November 17 - 2:18 am

  Have has my Grand AM since 2007. Was given to me by my parents who bought the car in 1999 with 12,000 mi. The car has always had regularly scheduled maintenance and now has almost 130k mi. I overhauled the engine at around 120k due to a spun #2 rod bearing. The 2.4l has marginal oil supply and this is fairly common. As far as doing major repairs, the car is relatively easy to work on. The interior in this car was the absolute worst of any I have ever owned - it started to fall apart when the car was only a few years old. Power windows all broke. Central locking and climate control switches broke. Vinyl peeling off the door panels. Dash warped. Seat padding breaking down.
