Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Nov 01, 2008
Reported on Nov 01, 2008
| I OWN A 02 GRAND PRIX GT WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. AFTER BUYING NEW LIGHT BULBS AND BACK TRACKING ALL WIRING TO THE FUSE BOX, CHECKING ALL FUSES AND AFTER A COUPLE ASPIRINS LATER I CHECKED THE HAZARD SWITCH THAT WAS SEIZED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. PROBLEM FOUND. CHECKING ONLINE, COST A NEW TURN SIGNAL SWITCH $250.00 CHEAPEST PRICE. I WILL FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF BUT FEEL SORRY FOR OTHERS WHO CAN'T DO THIS TYPE OF WORK THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE LABOR COST WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME PRICE AS THE PART. THANK GOD NO KIDS WERE INJURED IN A REAR END COLLISION OVER A FAULTY SWITCH THAT HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL SHOWS CHILDREN SHOULD BE RESTRAINED IN THE BACK SEAT. GO FIGURE . I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE HAD 100K MILES ON IT BUT WITH THESE LOW MILES THE SWITCH SHOULD NOT BE MALFUNCTIONING, SORRY GM THIS IS WHY BUYERS ARE LOSING FAITH IN U.S. PRODUCTS. *TR | |
