EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH
TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND NOW THE HAZARD SIGNAL DOES IT ALSO. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL MILES. I DRIVE 55 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AND BY THE TIME I GET CLOSE TO MY JOB THEY HAVE STOPPED WORKING. ALSO, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTIFICATION ON ANY RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR TOTAL. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:UNIT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
HAZARD/SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET DEVOLPED A LEAK RESULTING IN ANTIFREEZE LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE OIL WHICH CAUSED A $1000.00 REPAIR, AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT BEARINGS WENT RESULTING IN A $1000.00 REPAIR AS WELL. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE 4 WINDOWS SEVERLY SCRATCHED AND LOOSE IN THEIR TRACKS, RADIO STOPPED WORKING & BRAKES/ROTORS CONSTANTLY NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WARPING. I FOUND A FEW RECALLS ON 2000 GRAND AM'S, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT MY VIN# ISN'T ONE OF THE ONES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???... I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUE POURING INTO THIS "LEMON"!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
ENGINE PROBLEMS AND SAFETY CONCERNS WITH PONTIAC 2000 GRAND AM GT. LOST ALL COOLANT IN MAY 04, HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP AND HOSES. AUGUST 04 COOLANT LIGHT COMING ON ONLY TO DISCOVER THE DEXCOOL WAS SLUDGY. THE SLUDGE HAD TRANSPIRED WITHIN 2 MONTHS AND IT APPEARS THAT OIL IS LEAKING INTO THE COOLANT DUE TO A BAD GASKET. ALSO EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CALLED GM TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL #03043 ONLY TO BE TOLD IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY MODEL OF VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL STATES FOR GRAND AM '00-01, ALONG WITH THE '00-01 CHEVEROLET MALIBU AND THE '00-01 OLDSMOBILE ALERO, ALL MANUFACTURED 02/01/00 TO 05/01/01. I WAS INFORMED MY VEHICLE CAME OUT OF A DIFFERENT FACTORY AT A DIFFERENT TIME ACCORDING TO THE VIN # AND THERE MAY BE ANOTHER RECALL AT A LATER TIME WHICH WOULD INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT HELP ME NOW WITH SUCH A SERIOUS DEFECT OF EQUIPMENT. IS IT IN GM'S BEST INTEREST FOR GM CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES TO BE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES AND FOR THE CONSUMER TO SUE GM FOR MILLIONS AS OPPOSED TO GOING AHEAD AND DOING THE RECALL AND SPENDING $150 PER VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TURN SWITCH AND MAKING OUR HIGHWAYS SAFER AS WELL AS PROTECTING THE CONSUMER FROM INJURY OR HARM? KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW, I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS SERIOUS OF ISSUES. IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH DEXCOOL? WHAT IS CAUSING THE GASKET TO GO BAD IN THESE CARS? PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMERS WHO ARE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THESE VEHICLES IN WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY INVESTED $20,000-$25,000 INTO WHEN THEY PURCHASED IT! THANK YOU.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS
VEHICLES TURN SIGNALS ARE INTERMITTENT AND INOPERATIVE AT TIMES. THIS IS IN ALL MODES WHETHER RIGHT, LEFT, OR HAZARDS. THERE IS A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR MY MAKE OF VEHICLE AND YEAR, BUT THE ACTUAL MANUFACTURES DATE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL EXCLUDES MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SPENT A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS REPLACING THE MULTIPURPOSE SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. THE RECALL EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE HOWEVER IT MISSED THE RECALL INCLUSIVE DATE BY A FEW MONTHS. IF I BEAT ON THE DASH JUST ABOVE THE RADIO THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS WILL WORK. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
STARTING LAST SUMMER, I NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEREO AREA OF MY VEHICLE. THE NOISE SEEMS TO COME FROM THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS SWITCH LOCATED JUST ABOVE MY RADIO. SINCE THE SWITCH STILL WORKED, I FIGURED IT WAS SOMETHING PHYSICAL THAT WAS LOOSE BEHIND THE MOLDING. THIS SUMMER, WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOT EXTREME HOT IN THE MONTHS OF JUNE AND JULY, THE CLICKING STARTED AGAIN. I THEN NOTICED ANOTHER PROBLEM. SOMETIMES MY TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. I WILL HAVE TO HIT THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS BUTTON A FEW TIMES TO GET MY TURN SIGNALS TO WORK. I WAS GOING TO HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT, BUT FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE INCIDENTS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID IS 03V327000. READING THE RECALL NOTICE SHOWS THAT MY CAR IS SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TURN SIGNAL DID NOT START UNTIL THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS OF JUNE AND JULY (THEY CONTINUE EVERY SO OFTEN AS OF THIS COMPLAINT). I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE NUMBER AND GAVE THEM MY VIN. TOYNICIA JACKSON ANSWERED AND SAID I SHOULD REFERENCE CASE 1-238622769. SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL BUT SAID THE REASON I DID NOT GET A RECALL NOTICE WAS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM, SHE SAID THAT IT COULD HAVE HAD DIFFERENT PARTS USED. I PLAN ON SENDING INFORMATION TO GM/PONTIAC AS WELL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SINCE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. MY VIN IS [XXX]. THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN FEB. OF 2000. *LA UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT LET ME START IT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND AM PREGNANT AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE LIGHT COMES ON, I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR 30MIN.- 1 HR. BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL START. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE SERVICE DEALER, AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. IF NOTHING IS WRONG, WHY DOES IT KEEP HAPPENING?? A FRIEND OF MINE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET STRANDED.*AK
