Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Hazard Flashing Warning Lights Switch Safety Report | Mar 24, 2004
Reported on Mar 24, 2004
| THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR 2000-2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM'S DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITH THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OF THE MALFUNCTION WITH MY 1999 GRAND AM. BASED ON CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LOCAL PONTIAC DEALERSHIP, MANY INDIVIDUALS OWNING 1999, 2002, AND 2003 GRAND AMS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION AS THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH USED IN ALL 1999-2003 GRAND AMS IS THE SAME. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH PONTIAC CUSTOMER SUPPORT REGARDING THE ISSUE. THEY, PONTIAC, HAVE REFUSED TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION WITH MY VEHICLE AS THEY STATE THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY. I OFFERED TO HAVE A PONTIAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE OUT OF MY OWN POCKET IF PONTIAC WOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS IN THE EVENT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. THEY REFUSED, AGAIN STATING THAT EVEN IF THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL, THEY COULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE IS NOT A 2000 OR 2001 MODEL. *JB | |
