TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE. SPORADICALLY, THE HEAD LAMPS FAIL, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE HEAD LAMPS COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF OR WOULD ACTIVATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WHICH RESULTED IN A LOSS OF BATTERY POWER AND THE INABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 94V190000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS); HOWEVER, HER VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. ALSO, THE PAINT IS ABNORMALLY CHIPPING ON VARIOUS PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH

TAIL LIGHTS, BACKUP LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, AND DASH LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. THE FAULT WA S THE LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE WHICH HAD A RECALL ISSUED. PONTIAC WAS NOT WILLING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL 94V190000 CONCERNING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH LIGHTING CONTROL MODULES WHICH CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CURRENT LEAKAGE DUE TO DAMAGED SURFACE MOUNTING CAPACITORS. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF HEAD LAMPS AND PARKING LAMPS. CONSEQUENCE: SUDDEN LOSS OF HEADLAMPS CAN CAUSE REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY WHICH CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. ALSO, THE HEAD LAMPS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF, OR THEY MAY TURN ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BATTERY CHARGE AND INABILITY TO RESTART THE CAR. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP MODULE. NOTES: SYSTEM: LIGHTING; HEAD LIGHTS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TWILIGHT SENTINEL LIGHTS. NOTE: IF YOUR VEHICLE IS PRESENTED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND THE REMEDY IS NOT PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME OR THE REMEDY DOES NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT, PLEASE CONTACT PONTIAC AT 1-800-762-2737, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537. ALSO, CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-800-424-9393.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE

I HAVE 2 COMPLAINTS. FIRST ONE WOULD BE THE IGNITION ITSELF. I HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION WITH MICROCHIP KEY REPLACED DUE TO BROKEN CYLINDER AND HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH PONTIAC WHO SAY THEY ALSO HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM. I PAID $350.00 TO HAVE THIS REPLACED SO I COULD OPERATE MY VEHICLE. SECOND MY TAIL LIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT TOGETHER 3 NIGHTS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY SOMEONE WHO DID NOT SEE ME AND I HADN'T NOTICED MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS OUT BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING BUT DID NOTICE THE DASH LIGHTS GO OUT. MY GRANDFATHER, FATHER AND MYSELF CHECKED THE FUSES AND ITS NOT THOSE. WE THINK IT MAY BE THE DIMMER SWITCH THAT OPERATES THE HEADLIGHTS. I WILL CONTACT PONTIAC TOMORROW TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THESE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING SO I CAN HAVE THIS FIXED SINCE I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT FOR THE TIME BEING AND I HAVE 3 CHILDREN. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I BOUGHT MY CAR AS A USED VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD TROUBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE MOTOR, THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT WORK, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. WHEN IT WAS ENGAGED IT WOULD JERK HARD ( SPEED UP THEN SLOW DOWN) I HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS WHEN I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS. MY RADIO LIGHTS DO NOT WORK EITHER WHEN I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK IT WITH THE POWER LOCKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALER IN 2001 IN MICHIGAN. (I DON'T THINK THE AIR CONDITIONING EVER WORKED ). WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE TRACTION CONTROL WENT OUT. IT WOULD BE ON, WHEN THE CAR STARTED, BUT WITHIN DRIVING 300FT. WOULD GO OUT AND COULD NOT BE TURNED BACK ON FROM THE BUTTON. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT WHEN EVER YOU TURNED ON THE HEAD LIGHTS. THIS WAS DUE TO A BAD SWITCH & A SHORT. THEN THE CRUSE CONTROL WENT OUT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT WE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKETS DUE TO THE ENGINE OVER HEATING BY AN UNKNOWN CAUSE. 1 MONTH AFTER THAT WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AFTER THROWING A ROD AND CRACKING THE ENGINE BLOCK, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS STILL FLUIND IN THE ENGINE FROM MELTED MANAFOLD.( THIS ALL TOOK PLACE BETWEEN NOV. 2001 & JAN. 2002) AFTER THAT THE IGNITION HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE ONE OF THE WIRES WAS SEVERED DUE TO THE WHEEL TILT. (WE WOULD TILT THE WHEEL & COULD NOT START THE CAR). IN NOV. 2002 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, WE HAD IT REPLACED. THEN ALL AT ONE TIME (2003) THE BATTERY WENT DEAD, THE TIMING CHAIN HAD JUMPED A TOOTH, THE CAM SENSOR, AND THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH HAD BEEN CHANGED A FEW WEEKS BEFORE. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AGAIN DUE TO A LEAK IN THE COOLANT RESOVOIR BOTTEL, THIS CAUSED THE HEAD GASKETS TO BLOW AGAIN. IT IS NOW 2004 WE HAVE AN ONGOING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. SINCE MID 2003 WE HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 PCM & 3 PROMS DUE TO THE FACT THE THEY KEPT FRYING ( A RESULT OF A BAD GROUND THAT STILL CAN NOT BE FOUND), AN ALTANATOR DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAD SPIKES. THE CHECK ENGING LIGHT WOULD CONSTANTLY COME ON & WHEN THE CODES WERE PULLED THE EGR VLAVE WAS LISTED, WE REPLACED IT AND STILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO A STILL BAD PCM. NOW WHENEVER WE TURN ON THE BLINKER THE VOLTAGE GAGE MOVES IN TIME WITH IT DUE TO A SHORT. THE RPM'S SURGE AT TIMES WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION OR AT IDLE, CAUSING THE CAR TO SATLL OR BACKFIRE. THE CAUSE IS STILL UNKNOWN.

WE HAVE REPLACED ONE LIGHTING SWITCH. THE WIRE HARNESS WAS MELTED. WE ASKED ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS 2 YEARS AGO WHEN IT HAPPENED. WHEN IT GOES OUT WE HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS AND NO DASH BOARD LIGHTS. BY THE LOOKS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WE ARE NOT ALONE. WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL WIRING DEFAULT WHERE IS MELTS DOWN LIKE OURS DID OR THE CAUSE OF A FIRE WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON SUCH A DANGEROUS THING. WOULD THEY RATHER BE SUED AND BE LIABLE FOR DEATHS IF A PERSON IS CAUGHT IN THEIR VEHICLE WHEN IT CATCHES ON FIRE. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: - CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 5-65 MILES/HOUR. - CAR WILL NOT START- RANDOM OCCURRENCE. - ELECTRICAL SURGES ON DASH BOARD (MOMENTARY LOST OF ELECTRICAL POWER) WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. - ELECTRICAL SURGE ACCOMPANIES VEHICLE HESITATION WHILE IN MOTION - SPEED TYPICALLY 20 MPH AND ABOVE. - CAUSE "SEEMS" TO BE RELATED TO BATTERY CABLE ON POSITIVE POLE. REPLACING BATTERY, BUT THE BATTERY ISSUE STILL EXISTS. - CAR HESITATION, OR DEWING IN TRAFFIC IS A GREAT HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 TIMES IN PAST THREE MONTHS - FIVE ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY AND ALL WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE REPAIR SHOP REPORTED THAT A CABLE ISSUE IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CABLE CONFIGURATION. INCIDENT DATE REPORTED IS THE LAST DATE THIS PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED.
