Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 65, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Bought the vehicle used. 2003 pontiac grand am 3.4l v6. Constant ticking from hazard light switch. Grounding problems. Looked for recalls at gm dealership. No recalls on the problem. No choice but to remove hazard light fuse until repair. Should have been covered by gm. Gonna cost us $500! The transmission cooling lines rotted away causing coolant spraying everywhere causing white smoke and overheating of the engine. Spraying the serpentine belt and water pump. With visual inspection and touching confirmed spot. 3/4 of reservoir is leaked out causing rust on sub frame. Also front rocker panel bad. Front passenger panel rotted out. Bad oxidizing on the manifold cover and exhaust manifold cover. Shame on gm for not covering all gas on the hazard light malfunction and multi switch issues.

Turn signals about every two tries will stop working and sometimes you can get them to come back on by hitting the hazards.
Sometimes, when applying the turn signals, the turn signal does not activate, even though the turn signal lever is in the correct position. The relay does not click, and the turn signals do not flash. Also, at random times, the turn signal relay can be heard clicking rapidly on and off when the turn signals are not turned on. The turn signals do not turn on when this occurs, just the relay in the dash clicks. As stated, this happens randomly and can go on for hours over a long drive.

The turn signals intermittently work. Gm is aware of the problem. There are 2 other recalls for the same issue, but for different years. 2000-2001 grand am, oldsmobile alero, chevrolet malibu (the federal safety agency campaign id number 03v327000) and 1999-2000 grand am, oldsmobile alero, chevrolet malibu. I have called pontiac, however they were unable to assist me with this issue. This is a very serious problem that could result in a crash.
Turn signals work intermittently. This was noticed about 2 weeks ago. I have not had an accident because of this situation but could very well be in one if someone is not able to know I'm making a turn.
Turn signals would stop working at different times. Started researching and found some VIN#'s were recalled while others weren't. Some complaints stated if you push the hazard button when they don't work that they will start working. I tried this and it did work. Numerous complaints all over the web about same problem. Contacted pontiac who didn't want to fix the problem. They had no concern that there were numerous other issues with the same cars. Common sense would say if they are doing the same thing as the others that were recalled then it should be fixed by pontiac. This is something that can very well cause a crash. I will continue to do what I have to for pontiac to acknowledge the problem.
2003 pontiac grand am - turn signals as well as hazard lights not working. Also hood not closing/locking properly, very dangerous. Purchased from lima auto mall in lima, ohio.

The lamps on my gt grand am aren't right do to the low beams being brighter than the high beems. And water is in the lamp. And my car will not start and I called and told you all of this. And I worked on it some and moved some wires and it stared to work once again. And now down again.it will not do a thing but light up the dash. So I replaced the keystarter and it still doesn't do anything. My daughters car is also a grand am and it locked up on her too and would not start .lord forbid if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time and the fact that we are women, hopefully nothing bad would happen. She replaced the ignition which was the problem with her vehicle but it is not the case with my vehicle. I was hearing click click in the dash a lot and can not tell what it is and not sure if it is a short. And it is not fair we bought the vehicle and it seems like a death trap. Thank you for all your help. Ps the car dose not like to stop right it has new brakes on it and been updated. But still dose not wait to stop. But I came really close to hitting some one.
My car has had a clicking noise ongoing for a few months now. It seems to be stemming from behind the hazard light button in the center of the car. Today the car started smoking behind the steering column on the inside of the car. Why isn't there a recall? I've read so many complains similar to mine. What could have happened if it caught on fire earlier today? Please do something.
Turn signal will work intermittently. Turn signal will work then not work. You never know when it will not work.
My 2003 pontiac has a clicking in the dash underneath the hazard switch. When I turn on the signal the clicking goes in rhythm with the signals but when I turn the signals off it continue to click, sometimes fast sometimes slow. At first it would only happen very rarely. I am afraid for my child and I it may be a shorter that may cause a fire. I feel there should be a recall on this problem with all the complaints of this matter. Please look into this matter and let me know what is going on. I have spoken with many many people who experience the same problem with their gm vehicle. Why is the 2003 excluded from this recall??? This problem started with me back in 2007 and I am still having this same problem. I need you to fix the problem before anything bad happen. Thanks
Similar to many of the other complaints here. About the blinker relay cycling when in the neutral position. There were recalls for this on previous model years. No recall exists for this model year and mr. Pontiac wants $95 to do a diagnostic. Likely it is a manufacturing defect judging from the number of other complaints here. The rate of relay cycling has some correlation to the temperature.
My 2003 pontiac grand am gt turn signal/hazard light switch stops working. I have to hit on the dash to get it started then it quits again. I looked up a recall on this and I found that models 2002 have a recall on this problem, but not the 2003 model.
My car is a 2003 pontiac grand am. I purchased it in 2004. In september of 2006 my dashboard starting making clicking noises that sound like the blinker. This became worse within a month and the steering column began smoking occasionally out of the place where the "multifunction switch" is. I replaced the part in october of 2006. Recently, (06/08) 19 months after the manufacturers warranty ended, the multifunction switch is now clicking again. I contacted pontiac both times and was told that nothing could be done and that the problem would need to be paid for out of pocket. To me this is a severe safety issue. My car could have started on fire due to the multifunction switch. A recall should be done for this part on my gm product.
I have this annoying clicking sound which I thought was my turn signal. However, this noise continues even when my turn signal is off. I tried changing the hazard switch, but the noise continues. It happens several times a day while I'm driving and sometimes it "clicks" faster and longer then other times. I've also noticed small traces of smoke rise from my steering column while the "click" is happening.
2003 pontiac grand am 4 cylinder. Started hearing a clicking noise, like the blinker is on. Now it makes the noise all the time while the car is running. This is very annoying and can make you think you left your blinker on. I replaced the hazard switch and it didn't stop it. Someone said it may be the multifunction switch. I took it to the dealer and was told that no recall was on that specific part.
The ticker sound that is usually associated with the flashers or turn signal continues incessantly when neither function is activated. Sound comes from behind hazard button, but mechanics have advised replacing the multifunction switch in the steering column. They have warned that the situation will worsen and perhaps cause brake light problems if not corrected.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 pontiac grand am. After the contact turned the steering wheel with the turn signal activated, the signal clicking sound continued. Occasionally, the sound would stop after a few seconds, and at other times, it would continue. The clicking sound would also occur when the vehicle was started. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer. The current mileage was 181,000 and failure mileage was 179,000. *updated 04/30/08 *bf the consumer stated the fuse box is also giving her problems sometimes the gauge lights will not come on and may not start after attempting to fix the defect.
