Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were on our way home from vacation, we heard what seem to be a clicking noise that sounded like one of the turn signals was on. They were both off but the clicking sound kept going on and off. On our way to our house, we put the turn signal on to turn and it would not shut off and smoke started coming out of the steering column, like it was starting a fire or something in there. It got hot so we shut the car off. When we turned it back on the turn signal was off and the smoke was not noticeable. So we continued to take it home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10233400, filed 2008-07, 85,000 miles“I have had many problems with my 2001 Grand Am. Like others many turn signals failed, I have had water leaks, the dome light fell out of its casing and was dangling by its wires. In may of 2003 the computer and its wiring were replaced (at only 31000) after an incident of very ruff shifting. A separate consistant problem that remains unsolved is the car's occasional episodes of not wanting to start. During these episodes it sounds as if the starter will crack, but it just will not start. The only way to get it started at these times is to tap the gas pedal! …”
