Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Safety Report | Aug 26, 2010
Reported on Aug 26, 2010
| I HAVE OWNED MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE FOR 2 YEARS. IT WAS GIVEN TO ME FROM MY MOTHER. BEFORE OWNING THE CAR, MY MOTHER COMPLAINED OF THE TURN SIGNAL NOISE CONSTANTLY GOING AT A SPORADIC RATE AT RANDOM TIMES. IT STILL MAKES THIS NOISE AT A CONSTANT RATE TO THIS VERY DAY. AT TIMES, I EVEN NOTICE A VERY TINY AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG GRAND AM OWNERS. SINCE I HAVE SEEN OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I GAVE MY VIN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE CAR ALTHOUGH I DO SEE A RECALL ABOUT THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH ONLINE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME YET, BUT IF IT DOES ANY I AM HURT AS A RESULT, THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT. *TR | |
