WE OWN A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WONDERING WHY IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL. WE HAVE HAD 3 SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING WHERE WE LOST POWER AND THE CAR WAS HARD TO CONTROL DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING AND LUCKY FOR US HE WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD GOING EXTREMELY SLOW OR IT COULD HAVE KILLED HIM IF HE WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH TURNS UP HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR GRAND AMS. COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ALSO BEING RECALLED. THANKS. *TR

MY VEHICLE'S TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING PROPERLY LAST YEAR, SOMETIMES THEY WOULD WORK, SOMETIMES NOT, I SPENT $200 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE ISSUE, THERE IS NOW A TICKING NOISE IN THE SAME AREA AND I'M READING ONLINE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE 100'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE TICKING NOISE MAKES MY CAR NOT ONLY UNBEARABLE TO DRIVE/ RIDE IN BUT MAKES ME UNCERTAIN WHETHER MY TURN SIGNAL IS ON OR NOT. I'M CONSTANTLY DISTRACTED BY DRIVING TO CHECK MY TURN SIGNALS AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM'S WEBSITE WAS NOT HELPFUL. *TR
