The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated that he had headlights and a blue tooth installed in the vehicle. When he removed the key from the ignition, the stereo made a loud popping noise that could be heard through the speakers. Whenever it pops, the contact experiences electrical failures and the clock, instrument panel gauges, and the stereo would reset. Oftentimes, the head and tail lights will dim while driving at night. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The tail lights have blown on the vehicle at least nine times. The windshield was blurry, which resembled driving under the influence and prevented clear visibility. The windshield was replaced under warranty. The manufacturer instructed him to take the vehicle to the nearest dealer. The contact stated that he had already been to the dealer a minimum of nine times and the failures could never be duplicated. Thus far, the battery and dashboard have been replaced. The molding for the driver's side window has been replaced as well; however, the failures persist. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 6,000 and current mileage was 27,000.
