NHTSA Complaint #11448429 — 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

The multifunction/turning signal switch is malfunctioning. It started in 2012 about a year after I purchased the car. The brights would randomly turn on without me touching the switch and then the brights would turn on when I'd use my turning signal. I delt with it for several years, but eventually it got so bad that the brights wouldn't even turn off at all. I would have to drive with my finger holding the switch to keep the brights off. It made it extremely difficult to drive the car, especially when I had to turn. It was very unsafe not having full control of the steering wheel just to keep the brights off. I finally decided to have the switch replaced in 2019 and it seemed to solve the issue until about 6 months ago. The brights started randomly coming on and now they are on all the time and won't shut off. I feel incredibly unsafe driving because of having to hold the switch so it stays off. I'm sure it's a nuisance/unsafe for other drivers to have bright lights in their eyes all the time while driving too. I believe the switch is faulty based on the fact that I've had two and have had the same issue with both of them.
