My husband bought me a 2001 Grand Am GT in October 05' @ 80,000 miles. I had problems with the front driver and passenger windows in a year. The driver side window regulator popped and blew out then about 2wks later the passenger side window went out!! my ignition switch doesn't work, I can take my keys out of the ignition while the car is still on. My signal lights went out I replaced them. My driver side seat does not maneuver @ all. My fog light in the front on the left side has came off completely while the car was still parked. I have noticed other Grand Am @ drive through restaurants who's windows don't work and you have to get you're food through the door!! this is completely unacceptable and should be fixed free of charge to all owners asap!! its a shame we pay so much for so little!!

The turn signal was making a clicking sound even after the light was turned off. It seemed to be mostly when making a right turn. The problem was ongoing since April 2005. It continued to make the clicking sound anywhere from five to twenty minutes after making the turn. This was an on going problem. When the vehicle was taken to a dealership they said they would have to remove the dashboard to find the cause of the problem. The contact was still unsure of what the exact cause was. The contact has heard of an investigation for the 2002 models.

I own at 2001 Pontiac Grand Am which has had a recall on exterior lighting - hazard flashing warning lights which causes my turn signals to operate intermittently. Through my own investigation over 700,000 of these models have been recalled. When I went to the dealer to have it repaired, I was informed that my VIN number didn't fall into the "range" that General Motors was willing to replace for free. General Motors told me to pay for the repair and send them the bill and they will "review it". it is very obvious that this is the same issue that other Grand Am owners are having - this part is defective and I want GM to replace it. This is a safety issue with my car, how can they not fix it??

There was a clicking sound in the dash near the turn signal switch. It would constantly click as if the blinker was on while driving down the road. He mechanic said it would eventually would wear out and need replaced costing $350. It has not been replaced yet.

Turn signals and hazard lights do not work. It started when the weather was getting colder. They eventually may start working. I found if I would wiggle the hazard switch the turn signals would work. I bought and replaced the hazard switch 22624799 and it resolved the problem. This is a recall but it does not include my VIN.

Failure of turn signals on 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. Turn signals frequently will not operate for extended periods of driving. This failure of the turn signal system greatly increases the danger of driving on freeways and in general. Turn signals may not operate in either direction for hours, then happen to work properly for a while, before returning to non-functioning. Took car for repair, but signals worked that day. No incidents or injuries, just more danger when non-functioning on a car that is relatively new. Thanks.

I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am that I bought from the dealership in August 2002 in less than a year my turn signals stopped working niether power window will work, the tires have had to been replaced, and the speakers have had to be replaced. This care has only 52,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. Now, the front wheels of the car are making a horrendous noise that my mechanic can not figure out what it is. I have had problems with this car from the day I bought it and I will never buy another Pontiac!!! what can I do?

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! it has been taken to two dealerships for this problem. They have replaced a fuel intake valve and put new programming in the computer. Nothing they ever do solves this problem and usually they tell me that they can not recreate the problem and therefore can not fix it. Even after having a new computer the problem still occurs.
