The turn signals have not worked for quite some time, the hazard lights either. Contacted Pontiac to see if special policy # 04098 applied, due to VIN # was told that it did not. I was referred to GM dealership for further assistance.

I read in the 6/23/04 wall street journal that the NHTSA was considering expanding the GM hazard-lights recall to 1999 models and would like to add my experience to your data base, if applicable. I own a 1999 GM Pontiac Grand Am. For several months, the turn signal/ hazard lights clicking sound would sound sporadically/ intermittently without provocation (without egaging the turn signal or hazard lights). At times this clicking sound was faster than normal but always annoying and disconcerting. My ponitiac dealer determined that the hazard light was defective and replaced it at a cost to me of $211.87. Should GM have replaced this safety equipment without charge to me "?" thank you for your time.

Blinkers on 1999 Pontiac Grand Am intermittently don't work. Result is unsafe turns and unsfafe lane changes. If hazard lights (emergency flashers) are turned on, then turned off, blinkers will work again.

The turn signals and hazard flashers work very poorly...I have had tis vehicle for a year now, and every day they stop working....I have contacted to dealer many times, but each time I am told that the hazard switch might be bad..which is the same component that went bad in the 95-era Grand Am that made them experience the same problem, leading Pontiac to issue a recall on them....so it needs to be expanded!...they will stop working for no reason and this has almost caused a few accidents....and one time when I needed to place my hazard flashers on, they will not work....very dangerous...these are supposedto be a safety device that doesnt work..please try to recall these! previous model years of Grand Am experienced the same problems!!! and I have talked to many other owners that have the same issues exactly....
