1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNALS, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT TURN SIGNALS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD DO THE SAME THING. *AK THERE WAS A CONSTANT CLICKING WHEN THE SIGNALS WERE IN USE OR NOT. *SC *JB

PURCHASED USED 1999 GRAND AM USED WITH 40000 MILES. PROBLEMS BEGIN WITH REPLACING 2 ALTERNATORS, WHILE REPLACING THOSE I NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING THEN REPLACED WATER PUMP, A BATTERY, DAYS LATER HEARD NOISE FROM LF WHEEL- REPLACED WHEEL HUB\ BEARING. ALSO HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS CONTINUOSLY CHANGING BULBS (MOSTLY TAIL LIGHTS), CIGARETTE LIGHTER WONT WORK (FUSES ARE GOOD), RADIO KNOB WORKS SOMETIMES BUT NO LIGHTS ON THE DISPLAY MEANING I HAVE NO CLOCK. SIGNAL LIGHTS BLINK EXTREMELY FAST, DASHLIGHTS FLICKER, KNOCKING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN TURNING,OH YEAH THE BEST ONE YET... NOW I HAVE COOLANT LEAKING FROM FROM THE INTAKE. IM SURE GM WONT TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS OF MINE OR MANY OTHERS LIKE ME, BUT I CAN SAY I WILL BUY A FORD NEXT TIME I PROMISE. *AK

BODY OF VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY HOOD CONTINUES TO LOSE PAINT IN THE FORM OF PAINT CHIPS DUE TO SLIGHT COLLISION WITH FLYING DEBRIS ETC WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. I FEEL THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE IS MUCH MORE DAMAGE THAN ANY CAR SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERING THE NORMALCY OF THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. ALSO, THE BODY OF THE CAR DENTS VERY VERY EASILY, MORE THAN IT SHOULD I FEEL UNDER THE NORMAL CONDITIONS IN WHICH I USE THE VEHICLE. BOTH THE PAINT AND THE BODY OF THE CAR HAVE VERY LOW INTEGRITY.*AK

MY TURN SIGNALS ON MY 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM ALSO HAS THE SAME TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS AS ODI COMPLAINT CASE NUMBER 10072314. MY TURN SIGNALS FAIL TO OPERATE ON OCCAISION AND WHEN I HIT MY HAZARD SWITCH ON AND OFF SERVERAL TIMES THEY USUALLY GETS MY TURN SIGNALS TO WORK AGAIN FOR AWHILE. THIS HAPPENS ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS FAILURE FOR THE 1999 GRAND AMS. *AK

WHEN THE BUTTONS ARE PUSHED TO LOWER THE WINDOWS A CLICKING SOUND IS HEARD. THE SWITCH WOULD THEN CEASE TO OPERATE THE WINDOWS. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE REGULATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE REGULATOR HAD BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. *AK *NM

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE WHICH CAUSED A LOUD NOISE AT 45-50 MPH, DRIVING. *JB THE CONSUMER HEARD RUBBING NOISES AFTER SEVERAL TURNS. THE CONSUMER FOUND A BROKEN SPRING RESTING ON THE TIRE. *SC *JB

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE A LOUD SNAP OCCURRED FROM THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. A COIL SPRING SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES AND CAUSED THE CAR TO IMMEDIATELY DROP DOWN ON TOP OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THIS LED TO PUNCTURING OF THE TIRE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A GARAGE AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED. AFTER LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE I SAW AT LEAST 15 CASES LIKE MINE. THIS COULD'VE LED TO A SERIOUS INJURY IF I WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION.*AK
