| I purchased my 2005 pontiac grand am se used in may of 2008 with only 23,000 miles on it. the first issue began only about 2-3 months after the purchase. first the key would get stuck...a few weeks later, that was no longer a problem. then the car had trouble starting. very random, sometimes it would start after a few tries, sometimes it would start after 30 minutes. then it got worse. the car would shut off as i was driving...no warning at all...just turned off as if i turned the key off. this also is extremely random..mechanics have checked my fuel pump pressure, cleaned the lines twice...i was told the pressure was right to specifications. it has been 3 years that i have the car..could not afford to take it to a gm dealer. i checked and cleaned the fuses related to the ignition..after i did that, for the first time in 3 years my car did not shut off. that lasted about 2 weeks, now it is starting all over again. i have gotten stuck on the highway in the middle of traffic, up on mountainous roads, at red lights, very dangerous. my car still has trouble starting at times and now it returned to the danger of the car shutting off. my electrical system sometimes goes crazy when the car shuts off..sometimes it does not. sometimes the car shuts off when turning on my directional signal..sometimes it does not. sometimes it shuts off at a stop sign..sometimes it shuts off driving 55 mph. if this were my fuel pump, it would have died years ago. this is gm's poor electrical systems proven to be a problem in the grand am and other models as well. | |||

| I own a 2005 pontiac grand-am. the issue i've been having is that periodically the 'security' light will display. shortly after (no specific or exact time elapse) the car will not start and the 'security' light on dash blinks. i wait 10 minutes (as suggested in owners manual), keeping the key in the 'on' position, then car will start up. i have had the car serviced (for this issue) in a gm dealership two times...they changed the starter and some other part (not the security control module) and this problem remains. is there a definitive 'fix' for this problem. tired of living with this. this issued has happened 7 times over the last year. | |||

| The turn signal makes a constant flickering sound, when we bout the car in 2009 from the dealership we took it back to be fixed, they said it was fixed and as soon as we left it starting to it again. before it didnt do it non stop just eevry once in a while & it has gotten to the point it does it non stop every time you turn the car on. | |||
