Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Wiring Safety Report | Nov 01, 2005
Reported on Nov 01, 2005
| FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW,WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, CAUSING THE TRUNK RELEASE ACTUATOR TO OPERATE BY ITSELF,EVERY TIME THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS PENED. ALSO ,THE AUTOMATIC-ON DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, MARKER LIGHTS AND SO-ON- SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN ON IMMEDIATELY,WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS LOWERED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AN INVESTIGATION COULD BE OPENED FOR THESE PROBLEMS; BECAUSE THEY ARE SAFETY RELATED ISSUES,AND THERE MAY BE MANY OTHER PEOPLE BEING AFFECTED WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS-WITH THEIR 2001 GRAND AM'S. I BELIEVE PONTIAC SHOULD BE MADE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE ISSUES,SINCE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS TRUSTING THEM TO PROVIDE SAFE CARS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT IS LIMITED TO A WARRANTY, SINCE IT INVOLVES A SAFETY ISSUE, IN WHICH THE LIGHTS COULD STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING OR THE TRUNK COULD RELEASE( BY ITSELF) WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU. *NM | |
