Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For about 2 years now,we have been having problems with our 2001 pontiac grand am. there is some type of a short in the electrical system, causing the trunk release actuator to operate by itself,every time the driver side door is pened. also ,the "automatic-on "dash lights, headlights, marker lights and so-on- sometimes will not turn on immediately,when the parking brake is lowered. i would like to know if an investigation could be opened for these problems; because they are safety related issues,and there may be many other people being affected with these same problems-with their 2001 grand am's. i believe pontiac should be made to be accountable for these issues,since the american public is trusting them to provide safe cars. this should not be something that is limited to a warranty, since it involves a safety issue, in which the lights could stop functioning while driving or the trunk could release( by itself) while driving. thank you. *nm
