Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Ignition Anti-theft Controller Safety Report | Apr 04, 2008
Reported on Apr 04, 2008
| SECURITY SYSTEM FAILURE...NO WARNING. SECURITY LIGHT ON AS I WENT TO WORK. THE CAR SAT ALL DAY...THEN IT WOULDN'T START. THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY KEYS. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ALL GRAND AMS, NOT JUST FOR 2004 MODELS. WHY DOES PONTIAC CONTINUE TO USE DEFECTIVE PASSLOCK SYSTEMS IN THEIR CARS. COST TO REPAIR RUNS APPROXIMATELY 450.00. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER IT IS FIXED IT CAN AND DOES HAPPEN AGAIN. I WOULD THINK THAT PONTIAC SHOULD QUIT USING THEM AND PUTTING THEM ON THEIR CARS, OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THEY KNOW IT IS BAD AND GOING TO GO BAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT ISN'T LIKE THE CAR IS A BMW OR ROLLS OR SOMETHING. I FOR ONE COULD LIVE WITHOUT THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM. *TR | |
