Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Turn Signal Switch Safety Report | Oct 25, 2007
Reported on Oct 25, 2007
| THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING ALL THE TIME. NO WARNING TO THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO PATTERN. ALSO HAVE A TURN SIGNAL ISSUE, THE SOUND GOES ON CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEMS TO BE COMMON. THE STARTING ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM WHICH I HAVE HEARD REFERRED TO AS PASSLOCK. HAVE CONTACTED GM ON MANY LEVELS, IN PERSON AND OVER THE PHONE, WITH NO SOLUTION THAT SUITS ME. CHARGED ME $40, TO TELL ME THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD BE $300 TO FIX, OR SO THEY SAY. HAVE NOT HAD AN ESTIMATE ON THE IGNITION PROBLEM BUT HAVE SEEN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE PAID AND COULD BE BETWEEN $400 AND $1000. TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED WITH THE SAME JUNK FROM GM. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN. IT IS A SHAME THAT OUR AMERICAN CARS PALE IN COMPARISON TO THEIR FOREIGN COUNTERPARTS. I HOPE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS USEFUL AND THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED, WITH GM RECALLING ALL OF THE PROBLEM VEHICLES AND STANDING BEHIND THEIR TERRIBLE PRODUCT. IF I CAN BE OF ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. *TR | |
