Pontiac Aztek Exterior Lighting Safety Report | June 01, 2008
Reported on June 01, 2008
| THE PASSENGER SIDE, LOW BEAM, HEADLIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE BULB, FUSES, AND WIRING CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED AND ALL APPEAR TO BE FINE. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER THE STEREO ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED ITSELF AS IF IT HAD BEEN PLACED IN ANOTHER CAR WITHOUT A MATCHING VIN. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR A HEADLIGHT OUT. UPON ENTERING A SEARCH ONLINE I SEE MANY INSTANCES WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOME INCLUDE FLASHING HEADLIGHTS, FAILURE OF DOOR LOCKS, STEREOS AND SECURITY LIGHTS TURNING ON/OFF. I SEE FROM THE VARIOUS POSTS THAT SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THE BCM AS WELL AS WIRING HARNESS' THAT HAVE MOISTURE. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A SOLID FIX AS I SEE SOME POSTS ARE RECURRING. THANKFULLY I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED WARNINGS FROM POLICE ABOUT MY FAILED LIGHT, HOWEVER, I DON'T EXPECT IT TO REMAIN THAT WAY. WHILE A LOSS OF A STEREO OR ELECTRIC LOCKS ARE A CONVENIENCE LOSS, THE LOSS OF AND/OR INTERMITTENTS HEADLIGHTS ARE A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR | |
