1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior lighting Problems

“I have a very hard time seeing at night due to the condensation build up inside both of my headlights. When asking the dealer to have them replaced, I was informed that this would not be covered under my warranty and that it would cost nearly $300 dollars per light. They also said that replacing them would most likely result in the condensation occurring again, because it is a known problem with these head lights.”

“Plastic lenses that protect the head light bulbs have become less translucent with age. This reduces the amount of light transmission making it more difficult to read road signs which is a distraction to 'safe driving'. I have an older chrysler and it does not have this problem. A maximum opacity level for head light bulb 'protective covers' should be mandated.”

“The front headlight lens, after 5 years, has become extremely cloudy and lets less than 50% light thru it, causing the road to barely be lit up at night. I have talked to a Pontiac dealer and a car repair company and both say that this is now common since changing from glass to plastic. This is a major safety hazard and no one seems to be acknowledging the problem with a recall. What could be more important than all older vehicles suffering over 50% loss of headlight light?”

“The contact owns a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated that the turn signals would fail intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 84,000.”

“On july 30, 1999, I experienced total failure of headlights (high and low beam as well as driving lights mode). Car was taken to galaxay dealership the same day. Service determined the problem was failure of the light module . A component was taken off of another new vehicle on the lot and placed on my vehicle. All seemed to work well until wednesday, august 25, 1999. I went to leave work for the day and upon staring the car, was aware that there were no dash dash lights or headlights (driving lights) again. …”
