See below. I am having the same problem with signals working intermittently. I would hit the hazard switch or hit on the console for them to work, but only for a short period. I took vehicle for inspection and was rejected. I called pontiac to see about recall for this. My VIN did not match recall. Was told if I had it inspected at gm dealership that the price to fix it may have been reduced. Took it to where I had it inspected and it was fixed for $80. Pontiac did not offer me any at cost or reduced price to have it fixed if I took it to gm because I did not have it inspected there originally. They gave me a ref # in case there was a reimbursement of the service and repair at a later date.

If solder joint cracking occurs and results in an open circuit, the turn signals/hazard lamps become intermittent or inoperative. Consequence: when the turn signals are inoperative, the driver cannot use them to signal intent to turn that could result in a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the hazard warning switch.

I am having the same problem as reported to the federal safety agency defect investigation # ea02037 and the federal safety agency recall # 03v327. It just started this year and I called the dealer I bought the car (new) from and I was told it is not part of the recall because the VIN # is not included in the report.
The turn signal switch makes a clicking noise even after the turn signal is turned off. I have to "lightly" hold down the switch to signal a turn. If I turn the signal on completely, the clicking noise will come on. I find myself not using my turn signal much because I am afraid the clicking noise will come on all of the time. This could create a problem for someone behind me if I am not signaling. I realize there is a recall for certain grand am's. Even though mine is a 2000, pontiac says my vehicle is not one of the recall vehicles. Yet, I experience the same problem that appear to be for the recall.
I have 2 problems. First is my hazard/turn signal switch, which causes my turn signals to work intermittently. I see on your website and various others that this problem involves a recall by gm, however when I spoke to them they tell me that it hasn't been recalled. There was nothing that LED up to it, just started being a problem one day. I have not had it fixed yet, as I feel like it's gm's responsibility to fix it. My second problem is my manifold intake, which is causing my car to leak coolant into the engine and making my car overheat. I have seen that this has been a problem for thousands of owners and gm is doing nothing about it. I have spoken to them and they refuse to fix it. Their dealership wants to charge me $1400 to fix it, even though it is obviously a problem. Even though I had already had the problem diagnosed through another repair shop, they said they would not even consider fixing it unless I had it diagnosed through their dealer, which cost me $105 that I don't have. I am disabled, and on state disability and I feel like they completely scammed me, not to mention that now I have an inoperable car and have no way of getting to the doctor. Nothing LED up to the problem, it leaks coolant constantly and now overheats all of the time, making it undrivable.
My car was recalled for faulty blinkers. Which I wasn't having trouble with, but thought I might as well get them replaced to avoid trouble later. Unfortunately, the new replacement has given me trouble. Sometimes the blinkers come on all by them selves or when I do use the blinkers, sometimes it blinks at a very fast rate which I'm afraid it will appear as if the blinker isn't actually on. I can't tell from the inside. I have no idea when this started happening, just that it was shortly after the blinkers were replaced. The "approximate incident date" is a wild guess.
Turn signals and hazard flashers stopped working as in vehicles covered by the federal safety agency action number ea02037. Dealer refuses to replace/repair without charging full price.
The security light would come on and I was unable to start the car. I took it to a pontiac dealership for repair and they replaced the ignition switch and the body control module twice. The problem is resolved now but took several services to rectify the problem. I have also had to replace the water pump, head gasket. Thermostat and valve cover gasket 3 times. Replaced all gaskets twice. Headlight stay on at all times when car is running.
Signal indicator keeps clicking after canceling signal.
There are 2 rear brake lights bulbs on the driver side and are specified to be the same, but they can not be. By putting in the same 3157 light bulb, and applying the brakes, it will short out the lamp base and starts melting the light bulb base. In the mean time the brake light on the rear drive side will not work.
Intermittent issues with my turn signals and hazard flasher on a daily basis.

My hazard lights do not work, and neither do my turn signals. I am a full-time college student, who commutes back and forth to school everyday, as well as my part-time job. I have always had trouble with my hazard lights/ lights, since I purchased my car, but now they have quit working all together. I am afraid if my cars ever brakes down, I will get hit from behind.
When turning only on drivers side the light doesn't blink like a bulb is burnt out I have replaced more bulbs in this car then all the other cars I have ever owned total. If I hit emergency flasher and turn it off it will work what's up with this I have also notice other grand am's on the road that are the same way is this a recall.
My turn indicators did not always work and clicked intermittently. Found the federal safety agency campaign id number : 03v327000 mfr's report date : aug 27, 2003 component: exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights:switch took the car to dealership and they told me there was no recall, when I threatened legal action, they said they found a voluntary fix, not at all the same as a recall. I got the car back and the indicators worked, but when turned off, they continued to click intermittently. Dealer refused to fix. On 9/26 the dash started smoking when I used the turn indicator so I took the car in and the dealer charged me $345.15 for the repair. They replaced the turn signal switch in the tree. They said it was shorting. Greg meyer service manager at pierson agreed that pontiac should pay, but said his hands were tied. He suggested I file this complaint. He further suggested that legal action may be necessary.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 pontiac grand am. The contact stated that the turn signals work intermittently and the intake manifold gasket failed in january of 2005. The vehicle was towed to a small town without a gm dealer and was repaired by an independent mechanic. The mechanic replaced the gasket with an after market manifold gasket. However, the replacement gasket was also defective and caused the entire manifold to be repaired a third time. The cost of the repair was $829.59. The contact wants to be reimbursed for the repair since the manifold was defective. The speed was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 150,000.
