Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT AND THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 5/20/08. THE INDICATOR ARROWS INSIDE THE CAR WERE NOT GOING OFF WHEN I TRIED TO SIGNAL. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND EXAM THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ONLY TO FIND THAT NO SIGNAL LIGHTS OUTSIDE MY CAR WORKED EITHER. THIS PROBLEM NOW OCCURS EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS AND I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS ON BUSY ROADS. I FEEL IT COULD LEAD TO A PREVENTABLE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM FELLOW PONTIAC OWNERS. I ALSO FOUND THAT A RECALL INVESTIGATION WAS FILED BACK IN SEPT. OF 2005 (#PE05055) BUT WAS CLOSED IN JAN. OF 2006 WITH NO RECALLS BEING ISSUED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY MECHANIC AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $300 TO FIX THIS. I AM UPSET THAT THIS SAME MALFUNCTION WAS RECALLED IN THE 2001 GRAND AM MODELS (03V327000) BUT WILL NOT BE FIXED FOR MY 2002. WHEN IS GM GOING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT'S MANUFACTURING ERRORS?? *TR
