1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE Interior Lighting Problems

I CALLED BOTNICK CHEVROLET IN BINGHAMTON NY. TOLD THEM THE MAKE AND VIN OF MY VEHICLE (1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE). I RECENTLY LOST MY INTERIOR LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE DIMMER SWITCH AND I AM CONCERNED NOW ABOUT MY WIFE LOSING THE HEAD LAMPS WHILE DRIVING. BOTNICK INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND I FOUND THIS INFORMATION ON YOUR SITE (REF. NHTSA ID 94V190000). VIN: [XXX] . THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.*AK [XXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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. *NM

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...

WHILE DRIVING SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE DASHBOARD. HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND BRACKET WERE BURNED. INTERIOR LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, AND PARKING LIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. OWNER HAS MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS/ INTERIOR PARKING, AND TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT INTERMITTENTLY.. MECHANIC TOOK PANEL OFF TO LOOK AT WIRES, AND NOTICED WIRES WERE ALL MELTED DOWN.*AK

94 V 190 000/GENERAL OR UNKNOWN COMPONENT: HEAD LIGHTS. VEHICLE HEAD LIGHTS/ TAIL LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT LIGHTS WERE GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER VEHICLE WAS OUT OF IT WARRANTY, AND NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER. *AK

RECALL 94V190000/ HEAD LIGHTS HAD NOT BEEN WORKING, AND ELECTRICAL WIRING HAD BURNED.ALSO, DASHBOARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. *AK

THE TRUNK LIGHT DOES NOT HAVE A PROTECTIVE COVER, ITEMS IN THE TRUNK AREA BURN FROM THE HEAT OF THE BULB. (QCAW)
