Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1997 PONTAIC GRAND PRIX. THE HEADLIGHT LENS (GLASS) COMES OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION BEING THAT THERE IS A PROJECTILE THAT COULD HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR A PEDESTRIAN AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. IN CALLING AROUND TO FIND A REPLACEMENT LENS, I FOUND THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT AND THE SALAVAGE YARDS SELL THEM AS FAST AS THEY GET THEM IN. THAT IS A LOT OF LENS COVERS FLYING AROUND ON THE HIGHWAYS. IT IS EVEN TAKING A DEALERSHIP A WHILE TO ORDER ONE, SINCE THEY ALSO CAN NOT KEEP THEM IN STOCK. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IT MINE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, AS IT WAS THERE WHEN I LEFT AND GONE WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. I HEARD A NOISE LIKE A STONE OR SOMETHING HITTING THE CAR, BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT IT REALLY WAS. IF PONTAIC KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK
