Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Safety Report | May 28, 2006
Reported on May 28, 2006
| MY 2002 GRAND AM HAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO GREENFIELD PONTIAC AFTER HEARING ABOUT A SERVICE BULLETIN. THEY TOLD ME THE BULLETIN DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEM I HAD AND THAT SINCE IT DID NOT CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD, IT WAS NOT COVERED. THE COST TO ME WOULD BE ABOUT $300 FOR A NEW 'MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH' WHICH IS THE BLINKER/DIRECTIONAL ARM. MY TURN SIGNALS DO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN I NEED TO USE THEM, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ACTUALLY FLASHING. THE CLICKING IS NOT CONSTANT, OR EVERYDAY, BUT WHEN IT GETS GOING, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT STOP FOR 10 TO 20 MINUTES. I THINK I'M GOING DEAF FROM TURNING THE RADIO UP SO I DON'T HAVE TO HEAR THE CLICKING. I'VE HAD SEVERAL OTHER BAD EXPERIENCES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT WERE NOT COVERED (I.E. TIMING WENT AT 40,000 MI--BIG BILL!). I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT--THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES! *TR | |
