YOUR RECALL OF 2000-2001 PONTIAC GRANDAMS (03V327000) STATES THAT IF THE TURN SIGNALS/HAZARD FLASHERS BECOME INOPERATIVE IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. NOW PONTIAC SENDS ME A LETTER LETTING ME KNOW THAT MY 2002 GRANDAM COULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNALS/HAZARD FLASHERS THAT COULD ALLOW THEM TO FAIL. WITH A LITTLE LOGIC - IF IT IS DANGEROUS FOR A 2000-2001 THEN IT ALSO DANGEROUS FOR A 2002 AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL! *JB

AFTER USING THE TURN SIGNAL, I NOTICED THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE STILL COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE SIGNAL WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I USE THE TURN SIGNAL AND THE LATEST INCIDENT RESULTED IN SMOKE IN THE CABIN BUT NO FIRE. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH, I SEE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AS WITH PREVIOUS YEARS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL OR TSB ISSUED FOR THIS ITEM, SEEING AS THOUGH THIS RESULTS IN TURN SIGNAL FAILURE, AND CAN EVEN CAUSE A FIRE. *NM

COMPLAINED 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT TURN SIGNAL CLICKING NOISE IN DASH WHEN NOT ENGAGED. RECEIVED LETTER FROM PONTIAC APRIL 2006 TO HAVE SIGNAL/HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS REPLACED. TOOK TO JACK WOLF PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD BY CRAIG WEGNER, SERVICE MANAGER IT WAS ALSO THE HAZARD SWITCH AND THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH CAUSING PROBLEM. THESE ARE NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST ME $474.00 TO REPLACE. CANNOT STAND CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE ANY LONGER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *JB

THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH ON MY 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM FAILED IN NOVEMBER 2005. THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT ALWAYS WORK, THE INDICATOR FOR THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD COME ON IN THE CAR AND THERE WAS A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE. I HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED AT A COST OF $323 BECAUSE THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT EVENTUALLY BOTH THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD SWITCH WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE. I RECEIVED A SERVICE NOTICE IN APRIL, 2006 (#04098) WHICH INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, ONLY THE HAZARD SWITCH REPLACEMENT IS COVERED, NOT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. SO, EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURE OF THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH CAUSED THE SAME DANGEROUS SITUATION OF TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD LIGHT FAILURE, GM IS OPTING NOT TO COVER THE COST. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO YOU? *NM

I HAD TO HAVE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH ON MY 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM REPLACED AT A COST OF $323.00. THE SWITCH KEPT CLICKING, EVEN WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS WERE NOT IN USE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SWITCH WOULD ULTIMATELY FAIL, LEAVING ME WITH NO TURN SIGNAL OR HAZARD LIGHT FUNCTION. THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ON BOTH THE 2000 AND 2001 GRAND AMS. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED IN THE 2002 MODEL, BUT SINCE THAT MODEL YEAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. DOES THIS SEEM RIGHT TO YOU?. *NM
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
