2003 Pontiac Grand Am

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WILL CONTINUE TO CLICK EVEN WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS NOT ON. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN VERY RARELY AND ONLY CLICK A FEW TIMES AFTER A BUMP. NOW IT WILL CLICK CONSTANTLY WHEN THA CAR IS ON. *AK GM WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AND THEY WANT $300+ DOLLARS. MANY PONTIAC OWNERS HAVE POSTED WEBSTIE COMPLAINTS. THE "MULTIFUNCTION" SWITCH NEEDS REPLACED.

MY 2003 PONTIAC HAS A CLICKING IN THE DASH UNDERNEATH THE HAZARD SWITCH. WHEN I TURN ON TURN SIGNAL THE CLICKING GOES IN RHYTHM WITH THE SIGNALS BUT WHEN I TURN THE SIGNALS OFF IT CONTINUES TO CLICK, SOMETIMES FAST SOMETIMES SLOW. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND I AM AFRAID THERE MAY BE A SHORT THAT MAY CAUSE A FIRE. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND COME TO FIND THAT MANY PONTIAC OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TOLD PONTIAC ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY JUST IGNORE THE COMPLAINTS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS MATTER. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING IN MANY PONTIAC'S RANGING FROM 1995 TO 2004. I HAVE A 2003 GRAND AM GT. I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THROUGH MY INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND SO MANY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PONTIAC HAS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE'S VEHICLE CATCHES ON FIRE AND BURNS A HOUSE DOWN WITH AN ATTACHED GARAGE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. THE CONTACT 'S VEHICLE HAD THE SAME FAILURETHE FAILURE THAT WAS MENTIONED IN RECALL #03V327000; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH WHERE THE TURN SIGNALS/HAZARD LAMPS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE BEGAN ON 2-3-07. *AK UPDATED 02/27/07. *JB

SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY 2003 PONTIAC, THERE IS INTERMITTENT CLICKING COMING FROM THE HAZARD SWITCH AREA IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SEVERAL INSTANCES OF TAIL LIGHT, TURN SIGNAL, AND HAZARD LIGHT FAILURE. HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT IS COMING FROM THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND WILL COST MORE THAN $300 TO FIX. I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTS OF THIS MALFUNCTION FROM PONTIAC OWNERS FROM 1999 UP THROUGH 2004 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A RECALL FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE HAZARD SWITCH. MY HAZARD SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - PONTIAC GRAND AM GT 2003. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR GM VEHICLE. MALFUNCTION IN SWITCH CAUSES A TICKING NOISE AS THOUGH THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE ON ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT. NOISE IS ALMOST CONSTANT. HAZARD SWITCH REPLACED AND DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO HAS SAID THAT REPLACING THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. IF SO MANY ARE MALFUNCTIONING, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO FIX THEM? *JB

CAR MAKES A RANDOMLY CLICKS LIKE THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON, BUT AT UNEVEN INTERVALS. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED, THE CLICKING BECOMES CONSISTENT. TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE ACTIVATING WHEN RANDOM CLICKING NOISE IS MADE. STARTED VERY INFREQUENTLY, BUT HAS NOW INCREASED TO A NEAR CONTINUAL LEVELS. APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO RECALL: 03V327000. *JB

DT: THE CALLER HAD TO HAVE THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHT SWITCH REPLACED. THE CALLER SAID A BLINKING SOUND CAME FROM THE DASHBOARD BUT THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH AT CALLER'S EXPENSE. THERE WAS A RECALL 03V3270000 ON OTHER YEARS BUT NOT ON THIS YEAR. MANUFACTURER SAID THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK *JB
