Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior Lighting Headlights Safety Report | Oct 03, 1999
Reported on Oct 03, 1999
| WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT 65 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED;THE DRIVING LIGHTS ALSO FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. I CHECKED WITH THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NONE LISTED FOR THIS YEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT ONLY WENT BACK TO THE 1994 MODEL. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALRSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURANCE IN GRAND PRIXS,OLDS CUTLESS,AND WHATEVER THE BUICK MODEL BASED ON THE SAME PLATFORM IS. THEY INDICATED THAT IT IS A FAULTY HI/LOW BEAM SWITCH IN THE STALK WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. APPARENTLY NOT ENOUGH OF THESE HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN MY MODEL YEAR TO EFFECT A RECALL, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. | |
