Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Hazard Flashing Warning Lights Switch Safety Report | Apr 14, 2005
Reported on Apr 14, 2005
| OUR 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE BY THE SWITCH FOR THE HAZARD LIGHT FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. TONIGHT IT WOULD NOT STOP AND THE CAR STARTED SMOKING. I WENT TO YOUR WEB SITE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE CAR WAS RECALLED AND WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. I AM VERY DISTURBED BY THE FACT THAT CAR MANUFACTURERS DO NOT HAVE TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF FAILURES TO THE VEHICLES. WHAT IF MY CAR HAD STARTED ON FIRE AND NOT JUST SMOKED. WE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH OUR FORD EXPLORER AND THE GAS FILTER BEING FAULTY. WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED ON THAT EITHER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. AN ACCIDENT COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED WITH THAT PROBLEM. I THINK YOU NEED TO START MAKING THE CAR MANUFACTURERS NOTIFY OWNERS OF PROBLEMS. IF I DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS RECALLED. *AK | |
