Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Turn Signal Switch Safety Report | June 01, 2001
Reported on June 01, 2001
| I AM AN OWNER OF A 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE 4DR. 2.4 4 CYLINDER VEHICLE. CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT A BRAKING PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED RECENTLY. WHENEVER THE FRONT BRAKES ARE APPLIED THEY PULSATE AND DRAG THE CAR TO A STOP. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT GM HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. IT MUST BE SO PERVASIVE THAT GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO ITS MECHANICS. SEE. GM BULLETIN NO. 00-05-23-002B. I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL OVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES IT AFFECT THE PONTIAC GRAND AM BUT IT ALSO AFFECTS THE CHEVY MALIBU 97-03, OLDS CUTLASS 97-99 AND OLDS ALERO 99-03. IF YOU INVESTIGATE YOUR OWN WEB SITE THERE ARE MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS POSTED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES OCCUR. INCIDENTALLY, I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD LIGHTS INTERMINTENTLY WORKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PINPOINTED AT THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH WHICH I HAVEN'T REPLACED JUST YET. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION GOING ON OVER THIS ISSUE.*AK | |
