ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED (DUE TO RECALL) AND AM TOLD THE CAR IS FINE. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT DOESN'T START. TOWING IT BACK TO DEALER, I'M TOLD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BUT AM TOLD THAT IT'S JUST A COINCEDENCE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. EITHER THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T AWARE OF HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OR THE RECALL IS MASKING A LARGER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
MY MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT MY TURN SIGNALS FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FIFTH. I CONTACTED PONTIAC AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. WHEN THE CAR INTERIOR IS HOT(I.E. DURING A SUNNY DAY) THE SIGNALS WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY. AS THE A/C COOLS THE CAR, BETTER RESULTS ARE SEEN. WE KNOW OF ANOTHER '99 GRAND AM OWNER WHO SAYS THEY ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TURN SIGNALS. THE FOG LAMPS HAVE MYSTERIOUSLY TURNED THEMSELVES ON DURING THE NIGHT TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR. *AK
