Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Safety Report | Mar 26, 2011
Reported on Mar 26, 2011
| SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALWAYS THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, WHEN YOU GO TO RESTART IT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. ALL THE LIGHTS ARE FINE I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY CHECKED, THEY WERE FINE. I TRIED TO JUMP THE STARTER FROM THE BATTERY AND THAT WOULDN'T WORK. AFTER LOADING THE CAR ON THE TRAILER AND BRINGING IT HOME I TRIED TO START THE CAR ONE LAST TIME TO DRIVE IT OFF THE TRAILER AND IT STARTED JUST FINE. I SHUT IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT WORKS NORMAL. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER I WAS ON MY WAY TO CLOSE ON MY HOUSE LEAVING THE BANK THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE ABOUT 2002 GRAND AM GT WONT START AND GOT MANY RESULTS. THEY SAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM LEAVE THE KEY ON ACC FOR 10 MIN. AND THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM WILL RESET. I ALSO READ THAT IF YOU HAVE IT REPLACED THAT IT WILL STILL DO THE SAME THING. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN ALL WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND I TRIED THE 10 MIN. ACC TRICK AND IT WORKED. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME IF I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CHILD SOMEWHERE IN AN EMERGENCY. WITH THAT BEING SAID I ALSO READ REPORTS OD PEOPLES CARS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I TYPED 2002 GRAND AM GT WONT START INTO YAHOO AND GOT 4,740,000 RESULTS. I UNDERSTAND ITS THE INTERNET BUT THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM. SO FAR I HAVE ONLY BEEN A LITTLE LATE FOR THINGS THAT CAN WAIT, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE MY WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR HER TO HAVE OUR BABY. THANK YOU. *TR | |
