Headlights on 98 Grand Prix GT are fogging up and getting moisture inside the protective cover and reducing the light the headlight is sending out. This is making night time driving very difficult and dangerous. Noone has been injuried yet and the number of failures is daily because the lamps never clear up. Happened after warranty expired and should not be placed on the owner to fix, because this is a fault caused by the failure of parts.

The rubber molding around the front windshield on the right hand side has come loose. The window on the passenger side in the front only works occasionally. I have had to replace the headlamp on my car twice (one actually fell off on the highway while driving) and the condensation/moisture is horrible inside the headlamps making for poor visibility.

My 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix has the same windshield wiper parking problems as the 1997 were recalled for. They park in the middle of the windshield, causing restricted vision when driving. GM acknowledges that the 1997's were recalled for the same problem, but they will not fix the 1998's, and we have had to have them fixed twice. Also two headlight lenses have popped out, causing the headlights to burn out, leaving us unexpectedly with no lights at night.

Right side headlight lens separation. Left side lens has water inside of it. This is a known problem by GM, but GM refuses to address it. They have even mfg'd a new part that, in theory, does not have this problem. This should be recalled, as the expense in repairing it is roughly 150$ in parts alone. In addition, this problem can (and did in my case) cause the halogen bulb to explode from water impacting it.

On the exterior lights, the light lense cover has fallen off on the drivers side. I called the Pontiac dealer and was told "yes, we have them in stock, they fall off all the time". the bargain price was $70, which I have replaced with plastic for now because of budget purposes, only to have the left side fall off 2 months later. Shouldn't this be a recall if it "happens all the time"??

Headlight face falls off and then I loose the use of the headlight until it is replaced. This has happened with both of my headlights

- Madison, WI, USA

I had brought my car in because you couldn't drive it at night due to vapors on the inside of lenses on both sides of car. The water vapors on the lense was so great that the headlights gave off a blur so as not a clear lighting of the road was visable. As it went on the outside lense fell off and the dealership finally replaced the full section of the headlight. I then asked them about the other headlight and the service man told me that there was a recall on the headlights and when I got a notice they would replace the other headlight. I called Pontiac and they told me that there was no recall on the headlights at all. In August of 1999 the other lense fell off the other headlight and they finally did replace the other headlight. Now I have a problem with the headlights a night as you can't drive it still due to the position of the lights. On coming traffic turn on their high beams because they think we have our on. I have asked to have them fixed every time I go in for service and still no satisfaction. As a matter of fact my husband took it over yesterday 12/2/2002 and they told him it would be a 2 1/2 hr. Wait just to have our headlights checked. It is to dangerous to drive at night so we avoid it as much as possible.

Second headlight failure customer service referred me to dealer, dealer offerer $9.80 toward second expendature by me. When I expressed dissatisfaction with the offer dealer referred me back to customer service. No one wants to accept responsibility for head light assemblies that simply fall apart without warning.

1997-1998 Pontiac Grand Prix headlights are defective. The lens cover falls off. This happens on both front headlamps. I have read that a defective sealant is the cause. Both covers have fallen off of my vehicle, with the last at nighttime during a rainstorm. This caused the bulb to become wet and explode during driving. This happened within a month of the first failure. If both had fallen off at the same time, I would have had no vision. Performing a search on the internet, I find that this is a common problem that I am sure Pontiac knows about. I know this may sound like a minor problem, but if possible I would like to request an investigation into this problem and a possible recall. New headlamps installed cost consumers $130 each.
