I have a 2000 pontiac grand am, blinkers intermittently worked flashers worked/didn'twork when the blinkers did work. Didn't seem to be related to weather or any other conditions. Took off front of car where radio was and moved wires connecting to hazard light, seemed to be a short in the wire, possible. Problem started about 6 months ago. Blinkers worked about 60% of the time.

This is my second time writing you... I received no response from my last correspondence....I own a 02 pontiac grand am se, my hazard warning switch was defective. Their was a recall, dealer in hawaii does not want to honor the recall. I paid nearly 100.00 out of pocket to have another shop fix and repair the defective switch...now simple question to you, is this still a recall item and does the dealer have to make good on fixing the problem?
I own a 2000 pontiac grand am se recently, I had paid out of pocket to get my "hazard warning switch," replaced because the turn signals/hazard lamps become intermittent or inoperative. The federal safety agency put out a recall on 08/28/03, recall #03v327000. I took my vehicle to a gm dealer in hawaii in an attempt to get the part replaced under recall. The dealership did not honor the recall request and stated that I must pay out of pocket. I then took my vehicle to an ase certified mechanic repair shop and had the needed repairs done. I paid $98.36 out of my pocket for the part and labor. On 4/18/07 I called gm (1‑800‑620‑7668) to request reimbursement for what I paid out. Gm refused to pay. I am now seeking reimbursement for the monies I had to pay out. Are you able to assist me with this problem?
My blinkers and hazard flashers do not work any longer. It started with the blinkers not working on warm days and now they are not working at all. It seems to work like once a day when it is really cold but that is it. My hazard lights do not work at all any more. It is very dangerous and scary to be driving with my 2 young children in this car. I have been close to causing many accidents due to not having blinkers or hazard lights.
Failure of turn signals.

There is a problem, apparently with the multifunction switch, which controls the blinkers among other things. After the blinkers shut off, it is causing a rapid clicking noise near or in the flashers. I checked a web site, and it appears many other people are having the same exact problem. I had the flasher switch replaced on a recall, and the problem is still occurring. It has been going on for about a month. It is a problem because at the least it is very distracting while driving. And I am very concerned that my blinkers will suddenly stop working, or that the electrical problem could create a fire.
The blinkers and hazard lights of this vehicle fail to work at times. I have almost been rearended a few times. They work intermittenly.

1. The vehicle has had a gas smell since purchase in 03. I had it into dealership whom said there was no problem.

Fan control switch fails and only works on #3 setting or higher. 3. Turn indicators fail intermittently. 4. Electronics computer fails intermittently and has to be reset by turning the car off and restarting. (was this made by microsoft?).
