Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Turn Signal Flasher Unit Safety Report | Sept 10, 2003
Reported on Sept 10, 2003
| I OWN A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT WHICH GM WAS SET TO RECALL THE WARNING/HAZARD LIGHTS ON AS OF SEPTEMBER 2003. BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT PARTS FOR THE RECALL, THEY WERE POSTPONING CONTACTING CONSUMERS UNTIL THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2004. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY HAVING A PROBLEM TO GO TO YOUR DEALER AND GET IT REPLACED. I DID THIS BECAUSE MY TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AND I JUST HAD A BRAND NEW BABY IN MY FAMILY AND DID NOT WANT TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY SIGNAL. AFTER GETTING THE PART REPLACED, I HAD TO PAY FOR IT AND BE OUT THE MONEY UNTIL GM OFFICALLY ISSUES THE RECALL. I THINK THIS IS A TERRIBLE POLICY WHICH ENDAGERS MOTORISTS. IF I HAD NOT SEEN THE NEWS ON THE NHTSA SITE ABOUT THE RECALL, I WOULD NEVER HAD KNOWN TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REFUND THE FEE I PAID FOR THE PART AND LABOR BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR NEGLIGENCE THAT CAUSED ME TO REPLACE IT. *AK | |
