Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Jan 07, 2012
Reported on Jan 07, 2012
| IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05055 (RECALL 03V327), TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD SWITCH POLICY, I HAD MY CAR TAKEN IN AND LOOKED AT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THEY SWITCH OUT A MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL 03V327. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT IS THE HAZARD SWITCH THAT IS COVERED AND NOT THE MULTI-FUNCTION/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. HOWEVER, AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE IT IS CLEAR THAT THE HAZARD SWITCH IS NOT THE MAIN PROBLEM, IT IS THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. EVEN IF THEY HAD REPLACED A HAZARD SWITCH IT WOULD NOT HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE, WHICH IS CONTAMINATED GREASE THAT HAD BRIDGED THE CONTACTS OF THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. *TR | |
