  1999 grand am - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By rob foley - February 15 - 6:23 am

  i drive 50000kms/30000miles a year, front brakes need to be changed every year, pads and rotors, car is nice to look at fun to drive but gets very expensive to keep up with, head gaskets, engine service light that can come on for one of a thousand reasons, (i got to ignore it) would be a great car if just a little more quality parts were used. try to change the spark plugs yourself haha. remove engine and change. but after 6 years and 302 thousand kms (180,000miles) the car finally became to costly and unreliable, traded for a jetta

  Just traded mine in!! - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Doll - February 10 - 4:53 pm

  After 5 years of having constant problems with this car, I finally got rid of it. Dont get me wrong Looks great,fun to drive, hauls butt when you need it to get up & go. But I hope you have alot of $$ to keep up the constant little things that go wrong with this car. The radio was bad from the get go & I puchased the upgrade. They replaced twice still went bad I gave up. My power seat I paid extra for didnt work after the first year. Brakes constant & They rub really bad. Intake manifold $700.00 bucks atlike 50,000 miles,allternator,temperature gauge, one of my fuel injectors went bad & started mis firing $1200.00. I finally got rid of it. It only had 87,000 miles on it. Beware of This Car!

  Problems All Over - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Really? - December 13 - 10:10 pm

  Where do I start. I purchased this car in 2000 and was initially happy with it. Then after 8000 miles the front brake pads were worn and badly warped. With brand new ones installed, I lasted another 22000 miles,while the rear shoes and drums never wore. The dealers response was dont ride the brakes. I downshifted every opportunity and with 90% highway miles, that never really was a problem. So after about 6 adjustments and rotors I purchased slotted rotors. 48000 miles and no problem. Brake bias problem some engineer overlooked I assume. 2 water pumps, starter, intake manifold gasket,etc. With all the preventative maint. done one can wonder what would happen if you slipped on one service.

  Buyer Beware - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By bpduplex - June 16 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car with 30000 miles. In only 4000 miles the ignition harness blew out and all my gauges failed. It took forever to drop off my car a Pontiac since their lines were so long. My biggest complaint is resale, I paid 13000 for it in 2001 and it was worth 8000 in 2002 :(

  This car fell apart on me. - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mloes - April 6 - 9:13 pm

  I bought this car in 2002 when it had less than 30,000 miles. By the time I got rid of it at 130K, both side mirrors were held up with glue, the bottom of the car was held up with a clothes hanger, the front dash was cracked, the security system cut off the fuel system at random times, the fuel gauge was broken, it burned a quart of oil every 200 miles, the power steering fluid would spill out about once every few months, all windows were broken, the shocks were shot, the fan would only work on settings 3, 4 and 5, the knob for the fan was broken and ABS light would come on went I made sharp turns and the car would skid on dry ground regularly. In short, this car was a piece of garbage.

  1999 Grand Am SE Review - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By paramedic423 - March 23 - 4:53 am

  I have owned my 1999 Grand Am since 2000. It now has 72,000 miles on it. Having problem with rust along the side by the rear wheel wells. At about 50,000 miles the intake gasket went out and needed replacement. Mechanic said that is a typical problem for this car about every 50,000 miles. Radiator also started to leak around 55,000 mile. The front and rear spring rusted thru and broke around 65,000 mile also another typical problem for this car. Have had to replace 2 fuel injectors also. Radio control knob does not work very well any more. My car likes to go thru brakes also. Dont know why. Will be getting rid of this car soon. Other than that not to bad of a car.

  I LOVE my Grand Am!! - 1999 Pontiac Grand AM
  By rebelgirl423 - March 4 - 10:00 am

  I intentionally went looking for this car. I rented several Grand Ams in the year prior to purchase and just loved them. When I found the one I wanted I grabbed it! I drive ALOT! And have put a lot of miles on this car without ANY problems. I have now managed to put over 97,000 miles on it and have had NO major maintenance to do. I honestly believe that the traction control has saved our lives more than once on winter ice, snow, and rain.

  By Ethan Atkinson - February 28 - 10:00 am

  Have had no problems relating to the engine, anything else under the hood. The only complaint-the AC, especially important where in Georgia, does not blow very cold when you turn it on high, just harder air. I have taken the car on two long trips and the car was great, and comfortable. The back seats arent the best but they do their job. The only bad thing about this car is its resale value. I regret buying it from a dealership and not a private party. I am now stuck with a car that I owe 10000 on and can only get $5-6000 for trade. I will probably keep it as long as possible though.
