Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Safety Report | May 20, 2008
Reported on May 20, 2008
| I HAVE A 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE PROBLEM STARTED 4 MONTHS AGO. WHEN I PUT ON THE TURN SIGNAL SMOKE WILL START COMING FROM UNDER THE PLASTIC COVER BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. I POP UP THE COVER AND OBSERVED THAT THE SMOKE IS COMING FROM INSIDE A SEALED MECHANISM THAT IS BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT STARTED DOING IT MORE OFTEN AND AS SOON AS THE BLINKER GOES OFF THE SMOKE WILL STOP. I CALLED A PONTIAC DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO INFORMATION OR RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THAT THEY WILL CHECK IT FOR $39.95 I AM AFRAID THAT THE CAR MIGHT JUST CATCH ON FIRE ONE OF THESE DAYS. CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH SOME GUIDANCE WHO TO CALL? THE DATE BELOW IS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENS. BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IT STARTED OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. *TR | |
