Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior Lighting Headlights Safety Report | June 14, 2001
Reported on June 14, 2001
| I AM A TECHNICIAN AT A PONTIAC DEALER IN THE BOSTON MASS. AREA. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE PERSONALLY REPLACED THE RIGHTHAND HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY ON MULTIPLE 1997-2000 MODEL YEAR PONTIAC GRAND PRIXS. IN ALL INSTANCES THE CLEAR LENS HAS SEPARATED FROM THE HEADLAMP BODY RESULTING IN A LAMP FAILURE. ALSO, I CAN IMAGINE THE SAFETY THREAT THIS POSES IF IT SHOULD OCCURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AS SEVERAL VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS INDEED THE CASE. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL LEFT HAND HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES FOR THE SAME CONDITION BUT MOST INSTANCES HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT HAND LAMP.*AK | |
