“Make : Pontiac model : Grand Am year : 2004 manufacturer : general motors corp. The hazard light switch in my 2004 Grand Am started making this clicking noise as if they were on but were not then it had become more intense and would not stop until the car was off and would start again as soon as the car was started, now mind you the car is 4 years old with 58,000 miles on it and I just got it barely 2 weeks ago... This had just started a couple of days ago and just recently as the car was in idle I accidentally hit and pushed the key inward and the car just shut off. …”

NHTSA complaint #10241921, filed 2008-09, 128,000 miles

“I had to have the ignition lock cylinder updated on my 2004 Grand Am in 2011 at the cost of $514.77. Now my car s being recalled for the key fob causing the ignition switch to shut down. While taking care of the key problem can a GM dealer be responsible for giving me my money back on the previous new ignition switch?”
