Turn signals are failing intermittently. They will work again if the hazard switch is pressed multiple times. I'm aware of a recall for this situation for my make and model car (recall 03V327000). However, Pontiac tells me my car VIN is outside the range of VIN's recalled and that I will have to pay for the repair. Given this is an obvious problem they are well aware of, I feel my car should be covered by the recall.

Signal lights came on and off intermittently, indicating that the signal lights were inoperative. Consumer could not use them to signal intent. Consumer took vehicle to dealer for analysis, and mechanic told the consumer that this vehicle was not included in recall 03V327000 concerning hazard warning switch failure due to VIN.

Hazard warning switch has been replaced once and is now going out GMC website states it has been recalled, but when I have tried to get help I am told my car is not under the recall because recall has not been released. So I was advised to call my dealer again they were no help stating the same my car was not under the recall.

The signal lights on the vehicle worked intermittently and can not be depended on. There was a recall on that part but the manufacturer informed the consumer that the vehicle identification number was not included with that recall.

The turn signals and tail lights have a short in them. I asked a mechanic that works on GM products about it and he said that he has replaced numerous hazard light switches because that is was seems to be the problem. He told me how to check if that was my problem and sure enough that is what is wrong with mine. When I go to use my turn signals sometimes they fail, and when they fail so does my tail lights. When my turn signals fail if I press the hazard button in the center of my dash several times they will start working again. To me that is dangerous and I shouldn't have to do that. He said he has changed this part not only on Grand Am but on all of the GM cars that have the hazard switch in the center of the dash from years 1999-2001.
