Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior Lighting Headlights Safety Report | Mar 21, 2003
Reported on Mar 21, 2003
| I HAVE VERY RECENTLY HAD TO PURCHASE TWO VERY EXPENSIVE HEADLIGHT CAPSULES AS THE PLASTIC COVER OF THE HEADLIGHT FELL OFF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE FORCE BEING APPLIED. BOTH HEADLIGHT COVERS FELL OFF THE CAR WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I BELIEVE THE PART - AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE GLUE HOLDING THE COVER ON - IS DEFECTIVE. I WOULD LLIKE MY $226.09 REIMBURSED FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR REQUIRED TO FIX THE CAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF ONE COVER FELL OFF, I MIGHT THEN BE ABLE TO ATTRIBUTE THIS TO A DEFECT (1 IN 10,000 OR 1 IN 100,000), BUT FOR BOTH TO FALL OFF IN A MATTER OF WEEKS - THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. AGAIN, THE CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, NO FORCE WAS APPLIED TO THE HEADLIGHTS - THE COVERS SIMPLY POPPED OFF THE CAR. | |
