Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 pontiac grand am gt. whenever the turn signal is on it relays to the hazard switch and a clicking sound is heard to notify the driver that the signal is on. well last year there was times when the turn signal would all of a sudden stop. i would have to mess with the hazard switch a few times and then the blinkers would work again. this was occasional for about a year then last month the clicking would sometimes not stop even when the turn signal is not on. also it would erratically click very fast again with the turn signal not on. i checked out info on the website and apparently a lot of people are having this problem. here is the forum of several postings of similar problems http://www.autoweb.com/content/research/forums/index.cfm/action/posts/fid/2831 i noticed there is a recall for something similar to this on a 2000 but when i called pontiac they said it can not be for a 1999. why, if so many people are having the same problem with their multi function switch and its connection to the clicking in the hazard switch, does pontiac not recall this item? *jb
