Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior Lighting Safety Report | July 22, 2010
Reported on July 22, 2010
| I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT. 3 YRS. AGO, 75 MPH ON FREEWAY AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. BRIGHTS STILL WORK. AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT, LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED OFF AND ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DIAGNOSTICS COULD NOT DETECT PROBLEM. NEW STEERING COLUMN AND LIGHTSWITCH WAS INSTALLED. WORKED FOR A WHILE, THEN STARTED AGAIN. LAST NIGHT IT DID IT, SO I READ ONLINE TO REPLACE #35 RELAY IN FUSE BOX BECAUSE TONS OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. IT WORKS FOR TODAY. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEM WITH THIS ON THE 06 THRU 08 GRAND PRIX. ALSO REPORTS OF FUSE BOXES STARTING ON FIRE. MY CAR WAS EXTREMELY HOT LAST NIGHT AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR 2 HOURS. LOVE THIS CAR, EXCEPT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE LIGHTS IN NIGHTTIME DRIVING! *TR | |
