Complaint received via e-mail. Hazard light switch is making very loud clicking noises. Sometimes the hazard switch fails to function, which is worse in cold temperature. This could result in a rear end collision. The hazard switch can only be bought at a gmc dealership which is priced between $42:00-$300:00. I have noticed a lot of complaints on this issue, and think pontiac should have a recall on the hazard switch. *ak
2000 Pontiac Grand Am lights complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 157, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer maintained that vehicle experienced an intermittent noise which sounded like the blinkers were on . Contacted the manufacturer , who was not willing to assist the consumer. Took the vehicle to the dealer, but they also would not do anything to assist consumer.
Everytime I turn on my turn signal on, when I complete the turn, the turn light goes off but it seems that a "tick" continues like I got the turn signal on. I went to the dealer ship to have the fuse replace and after a few days it would start back up.
The turn signals come on and went off intermittently without warning. The consumer was able to drive it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the consumer that this recall number(03v327000) hazard witch unit was not for this vehicle based on the VIN number. Please fill in additional information.
Hello, my name is [xxx] I have a 2000 pontiac grand am gt. Vin. [xxx]. I have a complaint about my hazard switch it is making clicking noises very loud then sometimes my signal switch does it work. Sense its got cold it is real bad. Which it can cause someone to hit me (very scared). I bought my car last year, june 2003 used. I been asking all over town about hazard switch I ask autozone, oreaily, and salvage places which they said they do not sell them you (I) would have to go to gmc dealership. I call them up and the tell me all kinds of different prices ($42.00-300.00) for a part. So I am really tired of calling different places one day I decided to look up the hazard switch on yahoo which I came to www.xtremega.com that people have been complaining about their turn signal have been sticking on pontiac grand am which there should be a recall on because of many people complaining and some people can not even voice there opinion (hazard switch is making clicking noises) on internet or they even don't know what number to call. This is a major problem for pontiac grand am owners and I think there need to be something done about it.

1) under normal use of the vehicle 2) intermittent turn signals or inoperative there is already a recall open on this for 2000 pontiac grand am's however gm says my vehicle is not covered under this recall. Vehicle will not be repaired until gm agrees to pay for repair as problem I am having is exactly as described in open recall notice. Intermittent turn signal operation could result in future safety issues.
Hazard/turn signal lights faids to work correctly. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Consumer' s vehicle had the same problem as mentioned in the federal safety agency recall 03v32700. The hazard warning switches may experience solder joint cracking caused by rapid temperature transitions and the soldering process. If solder joint cracking occurs and results in an open circuit, the turn signals/hazard lamps become intermittent or inoperative. Dealership indicated to the consumer this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. *ak the HVAC blower was inoperative. *sc
While driving the turn signal lights failed to work. Please provide more information. *jb the failure began sporadically last year and has become progressively worse.
Turn signals work intermittently. This started about a year ago and now the hazard signal does it also. It seems to happen after I have driven several miles. I drive 55 miles one way to work and by the time I get close to my job they have stopped working. Also, I have never received any kind of notification on any recalls for this vehicle and I have read that there have been four total.
Hazard/signals work intermittently, intake manifold gasket devolped a leak resulting in antifreeze leaking into my engine oil which caused a $1000.00 repair, as well as both front bearings went resulting in a $1000.00 repair as well. This is on top of the 4 windows severly scratched and loose in their tracks, radio stopped working & brakes/rotors constantly need to be replaced due to warping. I found a few recalls on 2000 grand am's, but unfortunately they keep telling me that my VIN# isn't one of the ones included in the recall???... I don't have the money to continue pouring into this "lemon"!
Vehicles turn signals are intermittent and inoperative at times. This is in all modes whether right, left, or hazards. There is a voluntary recall for my make of vehicle and year, but the actual manufactures date involved in the recall excludes my vehicle. I have spent a couple hundred dollars replacing the multipurpose switch in the steering column, but the problem persist. The recall exactly describes the problem with my vehicle however it missed the recall inclusive date by a few months. If I beat on the dash just above the radio the turn signals and hazard lights will work.
The turn signal switch fails to work intermittently. Recall number 03v-327000. The dealerships mechanic would not repair the vehicle, because the VIN was not included. Please provide more information.
I purchased my vehicle in feb. Of 2000 brand new. Starting last summer, I noticed a clicking noise coming from the stereo area of my vehicle. The noise seems to come from the hazard warning lights switch located just above my radio. Since the switch still worked, I figured it was something physical that was loose behind the molding. This summer, when the temperature got extreme hot in the months of june and july, the clicking started again. I then noticed another problem. Sometimes my turn signal lights do not work. I will have to hit the hazard warning lights button a few times to get my turn signals to work. I was going to have an estimate for the cost of replacement, but found out that there was a recall on these incidents. The federal safety agency campaign id is 03v327000. Reading the recall notice shows that my car is showing the same problems. The problems with the turn signal did not start until the hot summer months of june and july (they continue every so often as of this complaint). I called the gm customer assistance number and gave them my VIN. Toynicia jackson answered and said I should reference case 1-238622769. She was very helpful but said the reason I did not get a recall notice was because my vehicle was not covered. Even though it is a 2000 pontiac grand am, she said that it could have had different parts used. I plan on sending information to gm/pontiac as well about this issue. Since I am having the same problems as described in the federal safety agency recall notice I believe my vehicle should be covered under the recall. Please look into this matter. My VIN is [xxx]. The vehicle is a 2000 pontiac grand am which I purchased new in feb. Of 2000. *la updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Intermittently turn signal was experiencing the same failure as stated in hazard warning switch recall 03v327000. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.
Turn signals came on and off on their own. Also, the hazard flashing warning light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for repairs, and mechanic determined that the turn signal unit needed to be replaced due to a worn out part.
1st & 2nd fan speeds on climate control are inoperable, hazard/signals work intermittently, intake manifold gasket devolped a leak resulting in antifreeze leaking into my engine oil which caused a $1000.00 repair, as well as both front bearings went resulting in a $1000.00 repair as well.
