Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 99 of 99, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tail lights stopped working even after the bulbs were replaced.
I just paid to have my wires for my hazard switch fixed, then I get the recall in for the switch to be replaced. Gm wouldn't just give me a reimberment for the wires I had to replace.
The sound for the turn signals would continue after the signal was off. Problem was caused due to a short in the wiring. *ph
Consumer received a recall notice for replacement of hazard warning flasher switch. Consumer spoke with service manager vicky weston about incomplete recall repair on the switch.
My 2001 pontiac grand am experienced problems with the turn signal making "clicking" sounds after turning the turn signal off as well as just "clicking" without having used the turn signal. At times there was a constant clicking sound. I took the vehicle in a second time to the dealership to have the multi function turn signal switch replaced after it had been diagnosed. The first time I took it in (for the same problem) was to have the hazard switch replaced per recall notice # p03043-s of march 2004. Replacing the hazarrd switch did not remedy the situation so my vehicle was taken back in to be diagnosed. Diagnosis was "tech found multi function turn signal switch intermittent contact."
Turn signals turn off on their own.
After making an appointment and leaving the vehicle at the dealership to have the hazard warning switch recall 03v327000 repairs performed, dealership didn't have the replacement switch. Also when the vehicle was picked up the clock, radio, display lights and the headlights were inoperative. The dealership did not accept responsibility.
The federal safety agency recall 03v327000 subject:hazard warning switch. The turn signals became inoperative. Consumer received the recall notice took the vehicle to the dealer, who performed recall repairs. After driving the vehicle for less than ten minutes the turn signals failed. Consumer immediately took the vehicle back to the dealer and the signals came on. Dealer indicated it was an intermittent problem which could not be resolved. *ak.
I have a 2001 pontiac grand am. I recently became aware of a recall for this vehicle model and year having to do with hazard warning switches that are defective, causing turn signals/hazard lamps to become intermittent or inoperative (recall #03v327000, gm recall #03043). I had this intermittent turn signal problem with my vehicle, so I contacted gm and was informed that my VIN number [xxx] is not part of the recall. I took the vehicle to my local pontiac dealer on 12-31-03 for a diagnostic and repair. They replaced the hazard switch. The summary on their invoice says: 44337 bad switch replace hasard switch 770.5 . This seems to me to be the problem described in the recall, but since this vehicle VIN number is not in the recall, I had to pay the cost of parts and labor to fix this problem ($89.16). I am submitting this information to you because of the safety issues involved and because it appears to be related to the recall mentioned above. Thank you.*ak *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
When shifting gears the vehicle vibrated and would not move. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for analysis. The mechanic noticed the shaft inside of transmission broke off and needed to be replaced.*ak in addition, the turn signals failed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they could not duplicate the problem. *ph
Turn signal and hazard lights operated intermittently.
2 weeks after purchase, floorboard was drenched and took to the dealership to be repaired.they said it was;however, the next big rain the car was drenched again. The car stayed for almost 2 weeks during which time, the mechanics could not "figure it out" and I was informed that some "experimental" fluid was used to try to stop the leak, but that did not work so it was being removed. The mechanics were putting it under the water hose to see if they could determine the leak. This was finally fixed, though I do not know what the cause may have been or what the final fix was done. 6 months later, the blinkers went out and were haphazard working. This was repaired under a different pontiac dealership as I was leery to "experiments." 3 months later, the check engine light was on or the check vehicle light, headlights were acting funny. Dealership and was informed this was due to corrosion and was not covered under warranty. Last week, the traction off light kept coming on, the headlights kept blowing bulbs, the service vehicle light was on, the cigarette lighter would not work, and the daylights and fog lights would not work at all. I was informed that the map sensor was covered under warranty, but the headlight control circuit control module was not covered. I was informed by dealer#2 that the faulty parts could have been caused by the prior water leakage. Both the warranty company and dealer #2 told me that even though headlights and a lighting system was pertinent, there was nothing they could do to fix it at no cost to me. Dealer #2 fixed the map sensor and I picked up the vehicle. Now other problems after map repai. Since the car was waterlogged and it is only logical that any water damage should be covered by someone. I called dealer#1 and explained the situation. At this time, when they pulled up the record of the car, I was informed the water leakage was on a service bulletin I did not go put my car in the lake and I did not ask for this kind of hassle.
When driving turn signals worked intermittently.
Consumer complained about turn signal problem. However, manufacturer stated that this vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN although it had the same problem as stated in the recall.
Turn signal fails intermittently. *ak the consumer was informed by the manufacturer that there was no recall, although the consumer saw a recall on the federal safety agency website. The manufacturer refused to repair the problem. *ph
I have a 2001 pontiac grand am that I bought from the dealership in august 2002 in less than a year my turn signals stopped working niether power window will work , the tires have had to been replaced, and the speakers have had to be replaced. This care has only 52,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. Now, the front wheels of the car are making a horrendous noise that my mechanic can not figure out what it is. I have had problems with this car from the day I bought it and I will never buy another pontiac!!! What can I do?
The turn signals would work intermittantly. Dealer said the signals should work again if the hazzard switch is engaged and then disengaged. This did help solve the problem when it would arise. Took the car in for service and they replaced the hazzard switch. This did fix the problem. Another service shop said this has been a common problem for this part due to a bad solder joint in the switch and they have changed out quite a few switches. Looked online to see if there had been a recall on this part in my car type. There is but my car is not listed as one where this fix is aurthorized.
Hazard signal switch failed. Consumer was unable to give indication to oncoming traffic. Consumer said her vehicle had the same problem as mentioned in recall 03v327000 , but dealer would not repair the vehicle because VIN was not included.
I am an owner of a 2001 pontiac grand am se 4dr. 2.4 4 cylinder vehicle. Consumer is concerned about a braking problem that has occurred recently. Whenever the front brakes are applied they pulsate and drag the car to a stop. I have been informed that gm has had multiple problems with other consumers complaint regarding this same issue. It must be so pervasive that gm has issued a service bulletin to its mechanics. See. Gm bulletin no. 00-05-23-002b. I have been wondering why there hasn't been a recall over this safety issue. Not only does it affect the pontiac grand am but it also affects the chevy malibu 97-03, olds cutlass 97-99 and olds alero 99-03. If you investigate your own web site there are more and more complaints posted. Something needs to be done before an accident does occur. Incidentally, I am also having a problem with my turn signal/hazard lights intermintently working. This problem has been pinpointed at the hazard light switch which I haven't replaced just yet. I understand that there is an open investigation going on over this issue.
There was a short in the left rear taillight assembly which is causing left blinker to short out and/or blink fast. When checking for a used replacement assembly, we discovered that we could not find one that had not already shorted out.
On 2 separate days/occasions turn signals failed to operate in either direction. After parking car I used 4 way flashers to verify that all bulbs were ok and blinking. Turn signals then operated properly immediately after. Appears to be intermittent problem, have not yet taken car to dealer for warranty work.
Consumer called complaining about having turn signal switch problems. Delaer was contacted, and stated that they could not figure out what was wrong with it.manufacturer was not contacted.
2001 pontiac grand am gt coupe (1) intermittent failures with turn signals. (2) intermittent failures with 4-way flashers. Either of these two failures could have easily caused an accident. Corrective action was to replace both swithces.
Turn signals only work on occasion. Must turn on hazard lights first to get turn signals to work. Hazard lights are not also only working on occasion.
I have had many problems with my 2001 grand am. Like others many turn signals failed, I have had water leaks, the dome light fell out of its casing and was dangling by its wires. In may of 2003 the computer and its wiring were replaced (at only 31000) after an incident of very ruff shifting. A separate consistant problem that remains unsolved is the car's occasional episodes of not wanting to start. During these episodes it sounds as if the starter will crack, but it just will not start. The only way to get it started at these times is to tap the gas pedal! It has been taken to two dealerships for this problem. They have replaced a fuel intake valve and put new programming in the computer. Nothing they ever do solves this problem and usually they tell me that they can not recreate the problem and therefore can not fix it. Even after having a new computer the problem still occurs.
Turn signal lights fail regularly, will start working occasionally when hazard switch is cycled. Almost caused 2 accidents.
The turn signals and hazard lights became inoperative.
The turn signals work only occasionally. Also a coworker has a daughter that is having the same problem with olds alero. A dealer south of here says he has a lot of complaints on both cars. Dt
