Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior Lighting Headlights Safety Report | Nov 30, 2001
Reported on Nov 30, 2001
| PLASTIC HEADLIGHT COVER GLUE FAILS, CAUSING THE PLASTIC COVER TO COME OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE COVERS COMING LOOSE WHEN THE CAR WASOVER 36000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE GRAND PRIX FOR THE COVER TO COME OFF. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX $90+ FOR EACH ONE. I HAD THE SECOND ONE COME OFF THIS WEEK. AGAIN I WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH COMMON IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY DEFECT POLICY WITH GM. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IN DETROIT. AND GIVEN A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT # S1-1898506. I WAS TOLD BY THEM TO CONTACT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS WHEN THE COVER FALLS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS BLOW. THIS COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT AT NIGHT. AT THE SAME TIME SINCE GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SHOULD FIX THEM FREE OF CHARGE.*AK | |
