PONTIAC PONTIAC Exterior Lighting Headlights

PONTIAC PONTIAC 1997 Exterior Lighting Headlights Report #10116870

PONTIAC PONTIAC 1997 car safety problem was reported on Dec 20, 2004.PONTIAC PONTIAC 1997, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS . THE SEALS FOR THE PLASTIC "LENSES" ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS OF MY 1997 GRAND PRIX FAILED. WHEN THE SEALS BROKE, DIRT AND WATER ENTERED THE REFLECTIVE AREAS OF MY HEADLIGHTS. ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT SHORTLY AFTER THE SEAL WAS COMPROMISED. THE ORIGINAL SEAL ON EACH OF THE LIGHTS HAD DEGRADED SO FAR THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE LENSES OFF BY HAND WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY. I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY PULLING OFF THE CLEAR "LENS" OF EACH HEADLIGHT AND RESEALING THEM WITH AQUARIUM SEALANT. I'VE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CARS THAT APPEAR TO BE THE SAME STYLE AS MINE. IF OTHER HEADLIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE AS MINE WERE, I WORRY THAT WATER LEAKING INTO THE LIGHTS WILL CAUSE THE BULBS TO BURN OUT UNEXPECTEDLY, ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER. AS WATER AND DIRT ENTER THE REFLECTIVE AREA OF THE LIGHT, IT WILL PROBABLY ALSO CAUSE THE HEADLIGHT'S TO BECOME DIMMER AND DIMMER.*AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 115000 miles.

My 1992 Pontiac Bonneville had (the week before Xmas) the Battery stolen& the thieves cut all the cables to it.

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR 1985 GTV6 FIERO TO HAVE CRUISE CONTROL.  DOES THIS AFFECT PRICE AND IMPORTANT FEATURE IN SELLING THIS VEHICLE?

Started sputtering & check engine light flashed for a bit then went off.  Still sputters but the warning light hasn't reappeared. 

ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORK, EXCEPT FOR HEAD LIGHTS. ALSO, HORN DOES NOT WORK

Check brake fluid level & all the brake lights. Especially the one in the back window.

what would cause my 2006 g6 not to shift into overdrive

I bought my '03 Vibe almost three years ago. When I purchased it from a private owner it was gorgeous but within the first six months of ownership a bubble developed in the clear coat of the paint on the back left next to the rear window. It qui

my 2004 pontica vibe steering wheel vibrates or shakes when going 70 mph or above. It's not the tires or wheels, and suggestions? I think it may have to do with the brakes.
