I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WILL NOT START, AND THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND 170 DOLLARS LATTER I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT COMES IN TWO PARTS AND NO ONE KNOW WHICH PART IT NEEDS. I'VE SEEN TWO OTHER MECHANICS SINCE, SAME STORY. THIS MONTH FINALLY, THE PONTIAC GRAND AM WAS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM,,,,MY MODEL AND YEAR. NO ONE CAN TELL ME YET IF MY CAR IS OR IS NOT ONE OF THE CARS BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE RECALL...THIS RECALL IS ON THE PONTIAC GRAND AM 1999- 2005....MINE IS A 2003. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT IF THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COULD COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED FOR HELP ON THE ROADSIDE AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND KNOCKED ON THE GAS TANK. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT STARTED FINE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO NOT STARTED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A MONTH. *TR

PARKED CAR TO SHOP. UPON RETURNING, CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD TOWED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFETY SWITCH FOR IGNITION. DURING THIS TIME A CLICKING SOUND WOULD EMIT PERIODICALLY FROM THE IGNITION OR TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLIES. HAD IGNITION ASSEMBLY REPLACED. WORKED FOR A WHILE AND THEN DECEMBER OF 2013, CLICKING SOUND REAPPEARED AND HASN'T STOPPED. *TR
