What 1993 Pontiac Grand Am owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1993 pontiac grand am, 124,ooo miles. The car starts and runs good. When I go 10 to 15 miles and if I come to a stop, the car stalls. It starts with no problem but when I shift a gear, the car stalls. If I wait for the car to cool off, the car will move without stalling. I bought this car for my daughter since she is a new driver, but I'm afraid to let her take it on her own for fear that she'll stall and cause an accident.
