ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BLINKERS MALFUNCTION ON 2002 GRAND AM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. GM SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. A CLICKING NOISE FROM THE DASH INDICATED THAT THE SWITCH WAS BAD. YOU HAD TO WIGGLE THE BLINKER LEVER TO GET THE CLICKING NOISE TO STOP. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AS TIME PROGRESSED. *JB

1995 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT THIS CAR. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 10 TIMES. OVER $4500 WORTH OF REPLACED PART- INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS, BEARINGS, HEAD GASKETS, THERMOSTATS, WATER PUMPS ETC. YET ONCE AGAIN IT HAS OVERHEATED AND IS AGAIN IN THE SHOP. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO HAVE CHECKED OUT SEVERAL COMPLAINT WEB SITES AND LOW AND BEHOLD IT SEEMS THE REST OF THE PONTIAC WORLD HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY SUGGESTION TO PONTIAC IS TO STOP PRODUCTION OF ALL PRODUCTION OF NEW VEHICLES AND WORK ON FIXING THE PROBLEM BEFORE SPREADING IT EVEN MORE LIKE A VIRUS.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH
I OWN A 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM. RECENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING CONDITIONS WITH THE HAZARD WARNING FLASHER SWITCH, CAUSING THE SWITCH TO CRACK. AS A RESULT, THE BLINKERS, OR THE HAZARDS CAN SOMETIMES WORK INTERMITTENTLY, OR NOT AT ALL. THIS RECALL WAS RELEASED FOR 2000 AND 2001 MODEL YEARS. I AM EXPERIENCING THESE SAME TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FLASHERS, HOWEVER, SINCE MY CAR IS NEITHER OF THESE MODEL YEARS, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND PONTIAC SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RELEASE A RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 1999 MODEL YEAR. I CONTACTED THE PONTIAC CUST SERVICE CENTER, AND I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I LOOK FORWARD TO A RESOLUTION ON THIS ISSUE. *JB

STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. IT FELT LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER STEERING FLUID. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FULL AND THERE WAS NO CUTS OR BREAKS IN THE FLUID LINE. ALSO AT 82,000 MILES THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB
