2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM Exterior Lighting Problems

4 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY GRAND AM 2000 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT, ANY WAY RECENTLY I HAD TO REPLACE THE SWITCH IGNITION BECAUSE THE KEY GOT STUCK AND COULDNT GET OIT OUT. THEN JUST LAST WEEK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND IT WAS THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH I PAID $380.00 OUT OF NY POCKET AND I WANT A REFUND BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL 140350 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH

MY TURN SIGNALS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. I FOUND THAT IF I PUSHED THE HAZARDS BUTTON, IT WOULD MAKE THE TURN SIGNALS WORK. HIS WORKED FOR A WHILE (ABOUT 6 MONTHS) BUT NOW I DO NOT HAVE FUNCTIONING HAZARD LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING POSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE "TELL US WHAT HAPPENS". MY DIRECTIONAL LEVERS AND LIGHTING TO SIGNAL RIGHT OR LEFT DOES NOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME. THE LIGHT GOES ON BUT IT DOESN'T BLINK AT ALL. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A PROBLEM 97% OF THE TIME. THIS MAY ALSO HAPPEN WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS. I UNDERSTAND UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER THAT SHE WAS A RECALL IN 2003, BUT MY CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED UNDER MY VIN NUMBER. THIS HAPPENS EITHER WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR WHEN IT IS STILL. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, AND HIGHWAYS AND EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE FLASHERS CLEANED AND THE FLASHER RELAY REPLACED BY MY MECHANIC.

THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH MAKES A CLICKING NOISE EVEN AFTER THE TURN SIGNAL IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE TO "LIGHTLY" HOLD DOWN THE SWITCH TO SIGNAL A TURN. IF I TURN THE SIGNAL ON COMPLETELY, THE CLICKING NOISE WILL COME ON. I FIND MYSELF NOT USING MY TURN SIGNAL MUCH BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THE CLICKING NOISE WILL COME ON ALL OF THE TIME. THIS COULD CREATE A PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE BEHIND ME IF I AM NOT SIGNALING. I REALIZE THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN GRAND AM'S. EVEN THOUGH MINE IS A 2000, PONTIAC SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL VEHICLES. YET, I EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT APPEAR TO BE FOR THE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST IS MY HAZARD/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, WHICH CAUSES MY TURN SIGNALS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE AND VARIOUS OTHERS THAT THIS PROBLEM INVOLVES A RECALL BY GM, HOWEVER WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM THEY TELL ME THAT IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT LED UP TO IT, JUST STARTED BEING A PROBLEM ONE DAY. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET, AS I FEEL LIKE IT'S GM'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. MY SECOND PROBLEM IS MY MANIFOLD INTAKE, WHICH IS CAUSING MY CAR TO LEAK COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE AND MAKING MY CAR OVERHEAT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF OWNERS AND GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. THEIR DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1400 TO FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED THROUGH ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP, THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER FIXING IT UNLESS I HAD IT DIAGNOSED THROUGH THEIR DEALER, WHICH COST ME $105 THAT I DON'T HAVE. I AM DISABLED, AND ON STATE DISABILITY AND I FEEL LIKE THEY COMPLETELY SCAMMED ME, NOT TO MENTION THAT NOW I HAVE AN INOPERABLE CAR AND HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING TO THE DOCTOR. NOTHING LED UP TO THE PROBLEM, IT LEAKS COOLANT CONSTANTLY AND NOW OVERHEATS ALL OF THE TIME, MAKING IT UNDRIVABLE. *TR

MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR FAULTY BLINKERS. WHICH I WASN'T HAVING TROUBLE WITH, BUT THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL GET THEM REPLACED TO AVOID TROUBLE LATER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEW REPLACEMENT HAS GIVEN ME TROUBLE. SOMETIMES THE BLINKERS COME ON ALL BY THEM SELVES OR WHEN I DO USE THE BLINKERS, SOMETIMES IT BLINKS AT A VERY FAST RATE WHICH I'M AFRAID IT WILL APPEAR AS IF THE BLINKER ISN'T ACTUALLY ON. I CAN'T TELL FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, JUST THAT IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THE BLINKERS WERE REPLACED. THE "APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE" IS A WILD GUESS. *TR

CONSUMER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA CAMPAIGNS # 03V327000: 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. DEALERSHIP INDICATED YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDE IN THIS RECALL DUE TO THE VIN#. *JB

INTERMITTENTLY THE TURN SIGNAL FAILED TO FUNCTION. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE FLASHER WAS DEFECTIVE. HAZARD WARNING SWITCH RECALL 03V327000 WAS ISSUED . BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

ON THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK MY FAMILY OUT TO DINNER. WE RETURNED TO THE CAR AFTER FINISHING OUR DINNER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. WE TRIED FOR ALMOST 1/2 HOUR THEN CALLED FOR THE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THEY CAME AND PICKED UP THE CAR AND WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A COMPUTER COMPONENT AND THE CAR WOULD BE READY THE FOLLOWING DAY. AFTER ARGUING ON HOW WE WOULD GET HOME SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOW CLOSED AS WAS THE RENTAL CAR PLACE THEY FINALLY AGREED TO LET A PORTER TAKE US HOME, THE PORTER HAD A SMALL CAR THAT WOULD ONLY HOLD 4 PEOPLE AND THERE WERE 6 OF US. THEIS MEANT 2 TRIPS AND WE LIVED NEARLY 30 MINUTES AWAY. LONG STORY SHORT A VERY DISSAPOINTING FIRST DAY WITH MY NEW VEHICLE. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS MY DRIVERS WINDOW WOULD NOT WORK OR WORKED WHEN IT FELT LIKE IT. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR. PROBLEM SOLVED, THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE WINDOW WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN WITH THE REGULATOR. IT WORKED FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS THEN IT STARTED UP ONCE AGAIN AND STILL BEING UNDER WARRENTY (GMPP) THEY TOOK THE CAR IN TO LOOK AT. I LEFT IT FOR A DAY AND RETURNED TO BE TOLD THE WINDOW WAS FINE AND YES IT WAS WORKING. A FEW MORE MONTHS GO BY AND THE WINDOW IS NOT WORKING SO I GO IN AGAIN AND AGAIN IT WORKS FOR THEM NOT ME. THIS GOES ON WITH ME TAKING THE CAR IN AND THE BUTTON WORKS WHEN THE TEC LOOKS AT IT THEN AFTER I LEAVE IT DOES NOT. I WAS IN TOWN 05/03/2004 AND THE WINDOW WENT PART WAY DOWN AND STUCK, I QUICKLY WENT TO RALLY CHEVROLET, WHERE ALL THE REPAIR SERVICES HAVE BEEN DONE, AND SHOWED THEM THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN. I THOUGHT FINALLY THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF BUT NO I WAS TOLD TAHT THE WARRENTY WAS OUT AND I WAS OVER MILEAGE AND THE COST FOR THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW WOULD BE NEARLY $1,000.00. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE THE WARRENTY RAN OUT AND I FELT THAT THEY SHOULD HONOR THAT AND NOT CHARGE ME.

THE BLINKERS ON MY 2000 GRAND AM ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HITTING THE HAZARD SWITCH FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A TIME. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS JUST LIKE THAT ON GM RECALL # 03043 (NHTSA RECALL # 03V327000), BUT WHEN I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.*AK

PONTIAC HAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR OVER 600,000 PONTIAC GRAND AMS FOR THE HAZARD WARNING FLASHER AND BLINKER SIGNAL. IN AUGUST, I CONTACTED PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME A RECALL NOTICE WOULD BE ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT READY YET AND IT WOULD BE A FEW MONTHS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH BECAUSE MY FLASHERS AND BLINKERS STOPPED WORKING AND THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAD NO INFO ON THE RECALL YET. NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND NOT ONLY DOES THE DEALERSHIP DENY THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE BUT PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY HAD NO TROUBLE FINDING THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE BUT NOW THEY DENY IT EXISTS. THEY HAVE NEVER SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SENT A NOTICE TO MY WIFE WHO ALSO HAS A PONTIAC GRAND AM OF THE SAME YEAR AS MINE! HOW CAN THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR, THAT I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE ONCE AND NOW HAVE TO REPLACE A SECOND TIME, AND THEN DENY THE RECALL EXISTS 10 MONTHS LATER. I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART*AK

I OWN A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT WHICH GM WAS SET TO RECALL THE WARNING/HAZARD LIGHTS ON AS OF SEPTEMBER 2003. BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT PARTS FOR THE RECALL, THEY WERE POSTPONING CONTACTING CONSUMERS UNTIL THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2004. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY HAVING A PROBLEM TO GO TO YOUR DEALER AND GET IT REPLACED. I DID THIS BECAUSE MY TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AND I JUST HAD A BRAND NEW BABY IN MY FAMILY AND DID NOT WANT TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY SIGNAL. AFTER GETTING THE PART REPLACED, I HAD TO PAY FOR IT AND BE OUT THE MONEY UNTIL GM "OFFICALLY" ISSUES THE RECALL. I THINK THIS IS A TERRIBLE POLICY WHICH ENDAGERS MOTORISTS. IF I HAD NOT SEEN THE NEWS ON THE NHTSA SITE ABOUT THE RECALL, I WOULD NEVER HAD KNOWN TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REFUND THE FEE I PAID FOR THE PART AND LABOR BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR NEGLIGENCE THAT CAUSED ME TO REPLACE IT. *AK

THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS TO REMOVE A BACKPLATE TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT BULB. THE PLATE THEY REFER TO IS WELDED TO THE CAR'S FRAME. ONCE YOU REMOVE THE ONLY 2 SCREWS THAT ARE BACK THERE (ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW THEIR WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS) & TRY TO SLIDE THE HEADLIGHT OUT, IT BREAKS THE OTHER AREAS THAT THE BOLTS ARE BOLTED INTO IN 1/2 & RENDERS THE HIGHLIGHT UNATTACHED TO THE CAR. THE ENTIRE PLASTIC PIECE FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR MUST BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THOSE BREAKS.*AK

THE TURN SIGNALS/ HAZARD SIGNAL, WORK AT TIMES BUT THEN DON'T AT OTHER TIMES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU ARE TURNING WHETHER THEY WILL WORK OR NOT. I FOUND ON THE GM WEB SITE AS WELL AS YOUR SITE, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. GM HOWEVER SAYS THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY PARTICULAR CAR BECAUSE IT WAS MAUFACTURED AUG OF 99 AND THE RECALL IS FOR CARS BUILT BETWEEN FEB. 2000 & MAY 2001. IF THE CAR IS EXPERENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, WHICH IS A DEFINATE SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULDN'T THE RECALL COVER MY CAR?

MY FIANCS 2000 GRAND AM HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FLASHER HAZARD AND TURN SIGNALS. THE FLASHER FOR THESE CIRCUITS IS CONSTANTLY CLICKING WHEN NEITHER SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. IT IS A VERY IRREGULAR CLICKING MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL. NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON (INDICATING A DIRECT SHORT TO GROUND TO ME). WHEN EITHER SWITCH IS ACTIVATED, THE CLICKING IS NORMAL SLOWER RHYTHMIC SOUND AND THE LIGHTS APPEAR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. A PONTIAC SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT FROM THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THEY HAVE DONE IN RECENT MONTHS, THE PROBLEM IS A SHORTING IN THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. THE COST OF REPAIR IS ABOUT $400 TO $500, DUE TO THE TIME INVOLVED (TWO HOURS OR MORE) AND THE COST OF THE PART ($300  $350). HE STATED THAT AS LONG AS YOU CAN LIVE WITH THE NOISE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. MY FIANC MAKES ABOUT $800 A MONTH AND THIS COST IS FAR MORE THAN SHE CAN AFFORD, SO SHE HAS DECIDED NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ONLY WAY THIS FLASHER WOULD CLICK IS IF POWER FLOWING THROUGH IT CAUSED BY A SHORT. THIS CONSTANT FLOW OF POWER BEING FED THROUGH THIS FLASHER, WHICH IS IN THE TOP CENTER OF THE DASH, I FEAR COULD EITHER CAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THESE CIRCUITS AND/OR CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING UNDER THE DASH AND STEERING COLUMN. IF INDEED THIS SHORT IS IN THE STEERING COLUMNS TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, COULD THIS ALSO BE A CONCERN FOR A PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVERS AIR BAG? *AK

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. *AK

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.*AK
