Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Sept 01, 2006
Reported on Sept 01, 2006
| MY CAR IS A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM. I PURCHASED IT IN 2004. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006 MY DASHBOARD STARTING MAKING CLICKING NOISES THAT SOUND LIKE THE BLINKER. THIS BECAME WORSE WITHIN A MONTH AND THE STEERING COLUMN BEGAN SMOKING OCCASIONALLY OUT OF THE PLACE WHERE THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH IS. I REPLACED THE PART IN OCTOBER OF 2006. RECENTLY, (06/08) 19 MONTHS AFTER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY ENDED, THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH IS NOW CLICKING AGAIN. I CONTACTED PONTIAC BOTH TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NEED TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. TO ME THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR COULD HAVE STARTED ON FIRE DUE TO THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH. A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FOR THIS PART ON MY GM PRODUCT. *TR | |
