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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE SECURITY LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN PROMPTED AND THE SECURITY LIGHT FLASHED ONCE AGAIN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 147,000.”

“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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HAZARD SWITCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE SECURITY WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS BECAME INOPERABLE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.”
