What owners report
Electrical wiring mess with air for air or heating up I was trying to make it work while driving and then all of suddenly dashboard light went out, car slowed down and stopped. Turned the car off then turned back on dashboard light wouldn't work, windshield wipers stop working. Got stuck middle of nowhere after I pulled over to check with the car won't turn back on till fuse change and engine start working again after put in mismatch fuse box supposed to match but it different fuse for fuse box
The ignition is faulty. My ignition allows my radio to turn on randomly. I could have the car off, I'm not in it at all. If I get inside to go somewhere and the radio is already on before I put the key in. Most times it's not a big deal. The car starts and I go about my business. Recently I've been experiencing needing to get a jump because the battery gets run down over the radio being on. When I'm inside the car and it's running I'm able to pull the key completely out of the ignition and the car stays running until I put my key in and turn it to the off position. I've gotten the recall cards since I bought the car 5 years ago. On the card it lists the cause as "unintended ignition
4 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY GRAND AM 2000 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT, ANY WAY RECENTLY I HAD TO REPLACE THE SWITCH IGNITION BECAUSE THE KEY GOT STUCK AND COULDNT GET OIT OUT. THEN JUST LAST WEEK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND IT WAS THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH I PAID $380.00 OUT OF NY POCKET AND I WANT A REFUND BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL 140350 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH
WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT WILL CONSTANTLY DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I'M UNSURE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND IT'S STARTING TO CAUSE VERY MANY ISSUES AND POSSIBLY LEADING TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE MONDAY SEPTEMBER 23,2019 AND HAS BEEN DOING IT ALL WEEK EVERY TIME I DRIVE MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING.
IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN THE SWITCH OVER THE DING DING COME HOME WHILE KEY IN THE SWITCH BUT JUST STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT TO GROCERY COME BACK OUT AND THE SWITCH WOULD NOT CRANK THE CAR AT ALL IT WAS STATIONARY
