1992 Pontiac Grand AM Electrical system Problems

“While driving, my radio, clock, cruise control, and windshield wipers stop working. This would usually happen when I would use the turn signals. At first I thought it was a fuse, but later realized if I jiggled the key in the ingnition, these things would start working again. The ignition seems to have a lot of play, as if it needs to be tightened. I can almost turn the ignition all the way around without touching the key.”

“On march of 1999, the first problem with my vehicle occured. The car was sitting in the driveway, no key in the ignition, and it began to try to start by itself. I was shocked to see this, and by the time it finished, my battery was drained and I had to purchase a new battery. The second time I had an ignition problem was in november of 2000 when my car wouldn't start unless it was placed in neutral gear. I had the ignition switch replaced, and six weeks later, the same incident happened with trying to start the car. …”

“The paint is chipping on my hood. It started in 1995. I have been told by dealerships that their was a recall on paint. I was not notified by GM, and when I last attempted to contact them the srvc rep said they remembered a recall but couldn't find it now. Also, every winter since I bought the car the horn gows off in the middle of the night when it gets below freezing. My power door locks keep going out. Are they related to the horn? Since I purchased the car, the front passenger seat locks in upright position but does not slide back into place if the lever is usde on the back of the seat. …”

“Ignition system melted resulting in total destruction of starting system. Ignition system did not ignite but did continue to emmit noxious fumes and smoke. Researched problem and found out all models made the year after my car, were recalled for same exact problem.”

“Vehicle was parked. Went to put key in ignition it acted very rough. Went to turn key, it was very hard to turn, was not able. Wheel locked in left position. Had the vehicle towed to dealer and they replaced the ignition cylinder.”
