Consumer complained about a turn signal problem. Turn signal operated intermittently. He called the manufacturer, and was told that this vehicle was not covered under recall 03-v-327-000. Consumer needed help in getting vehicle repaired.
Recurring brake problems with rotors /pads and turn signal failures.
The signal lights on the vehicle worked intermittently and can not be depended on. There was a recall on that part but the manufacturer informed the consumer that the vehicle identification number was not included with that recall. *ph *scc
Consumer noticed that intermittenlyt turn signal would not signal. Dealer had been notified.
The turn signals and hazard lights go out on their own, and sometimes when the hazard light have been used the turn signals wont work. The problem is intermittent.
While driving left and right turn signals worked intermittently. Took vehicle to dealer, but problem still exists.
The federal safety agency recall 03-v-327-000 ,certain passenger vehicles have hazard warning switches that 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. Consumer had the same problem. Also both back side windows did not roll down. Owner contacted the dealership.
Turn signal flasher intermittently failed to work. Would sometimes work if the hazard lights were activated. Dealer replaced turn signal/flasher switch, no fix. On the 4th time to dealer, they replaced the hazards switch and it was fixed.
Consumer was having the same problem as was mentioned in recall#03v32700. Rear turn signal light worked intermittently. Dealer would not repair because the VIN number was not included.
My turn signals work when they want...if I play with the hazard switch they will work again.
Turn signals fail at different times. Both when vehicle is moving and when it is not. Happens on a daily basis causing safety concerns. Fails both interior and exterior.
Turn signal and hazard light are working intermittently. Dealer notified.
The turn signals and tail lights have a short in them. I asked a mechanic that works on gm products about it and he said that he has replaced numerous hazard light switches because that is was seems to be the problem. He told me how to check if that was my problem and sure enough that is what is wrong with mine. When I go to use my turn signals sometimes they fail, and when they fail so does my tail lights. When my turn signals fail if I press the hazard button in the center of my dash several times they will start working again. To me that is dangerous and I shouldn't have to do that. He said he has changed this part not only on grand am but on all of the gm cars that have the hazard switch in the center of the dash from years 1999-2001.
I own a 2000 pontiac grand am gt. At about 15,000 miles my blinkers starting either just comming on by theirself or would not work at all. I took it in to the dealer and they replaced the hazard switch. Then, about 6 thousand miles later, my front end started shaking and making noise. I took it to the dealer and they said my brakes were down to the rotor and I would need new brakes and rotors. I asked if it would be covered under warranty, and they said the warranty only covered the brakes until 20,000 miles and it would cost me $500 to fix the problem. I took the car to my mechanic and had performace brakes and rotors put on my car for $375 (I had read a few reports of others having problems and having to go back to the dealer every 5-6 thousand miles and did not want to go through that, and concider myself luchy that they lasted as long as they did.). I have put another 15,000 miles on my performace brakes and rotors with no problems. My mechanic also saw that I had a plug in my right front tire. I have never had to take my car in for a flat since I have owned the vehicle, so my guess is that the dealer put the plug in the tire. I have been reading similar complaints from people that own 2001, 2002, and even 2003 grand ams. Apparently they are using cheap parts on a "performace car" and are ignoring the problem and something need to be done, before someones brakes go out completely. There is also a problem with the passengers front seat not locking in place. If you do not push the seat back all the way fairly hard and check the seat lever to make sure that it came back up, the seat will slide all the way fwd during even light breaking. The seat has done this since I have owned the car. If they used better components on their car and would stop cutting corners they would not be having theses problems.
Turn signal makes clicking noise as if in use but is actually not in use. Clicks sporadically and frequently. Even if turn signal has not been used for several miles it will start clicking on it's own. Has just now started clicking when car is not started. The turn signal lights do not come on just the noise it makes as if the turn signal is in use.
The turn signals on my 2000 pontiac grand am sometimes fail to work.

While driving turn signals malfunctioned. Took vehicle to the dealer, repaired it with a multifunction switch, which did not remedy the problem. Vehicle is still malfunctioning. Please provide any further information.
When turn signal is on sometimes it blinks and sometimes it does not, turn signal works intermittently. Contacted dealer, and dealer did not know what was causing problem.*ak consumer also stated if you push the emergency flasher the turn signal will start working.
When making turns the signals stop working with no warning, signals will work intermittently, contacted dealer and they stated can't find cause.*ak* jb
Turn signals will intermittently fail during operation, almost causing accident. This has been an ongoing problem for 7 months . Cause is unknown. *ak consumer states blinkers will turn of fby themselves.
Is not an ignition switch problem is not a fuse problem. Is not a bulb problem. May be in wiring/flasher. Turn signals and hazard flashers quit working for no reason when vehicle is moving or stopped. Does not matter if hot or cold or if engine is runnung or not. Will be refered to dealer for warranty exam and repair.
This problem is reoccuring and and has caused me to get ticketed for burned out brake lamps twice. Also when I am drving I notice that people with the same car have burned out lamps too. There are two bulbs to the actual brake light itself and they don't burn out at the same time, but, when they do burn out the plastic at the base of the bulb melts on to the contact renedering the bulb useless and also causes damage to the part listed in the report which also means the brake light is not funtional. Another concern was the amount of heat given off by the bulbs are enough to burn someone badly, which also may be the cause of the base of the bulb melting.
