Loud clicking noise coming from center console sounding like turn signal when on, but turn signal is not on. Turn signal functions properly, but continous clicking is heard. Told by my dealer there was going to be a recall in 2004, hazard switch was replaced and problem is still there.

Signal lights and emergency flashers work occasionally... when I bought this car in 2003 it only had 10,000 miles on it but was out of warranty because of being a 1999. I contacted the Pontiac dealer in shreveport and also G.M. Corp. Both told me they were not aware of any problems with this. I have only spoken to 4 other Grand Am owners... all had same problems. It is not just my car.

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 Am.

Hazard lights failed intermittently. A recall has been issued; however this vehicle was not included due to VIN.

The turn signals and hazard flashers work very poorly...I have had tis vehicle for a year now, and every day they stop working....I have contacted to dealer many times, but each time I am told that the hazard switch might be bad..which is the same component that went bad in the 95-era Grand Am that made them experience the same problem, leading Pontiac to issue a recall on them....so it needs to be expanded!...they will stop working for no reason and this has almost caused a few accidents....and one time when I needed to place my hazard flashers on, they will not work....very dangerous...these are supposedto be a safety device that doesnt work..please try to recall these! previous model years of Grand Am experienced the same problems!!! and I have talked to many other owners that have the same issues exactly....

My main problem is that I have had the dealer look at my turn signals four times in the past. This is going to be the fifth. I contacted Pontiac and they told me there was nothing more they could do. When the car interior is hot(I.e. during a sunny day) the signals will work intermittently. As the A/C cools the car, better results are seen. We know of another '99 Grand Am owner who says they also have occasional problems with their turn signals. The fog lamps have mysteriously turned themselves on during the night twice in the past year.
