I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE AND WAS TAKING A RIGHT ON TO A MAIN STREET, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE REAR BODY FRAME SUSPENSION ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DROP, CAUSING THE STEERING LINKAGE TO DISCONNECT, LEAVING ME WITH 0 STEERING CAPABILITY. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATING, THE FRAME HAD RUSTED AROUND THE BUSHING AND BOLTS HOLDING UP THE SUSPENSION. THIS IN TURN, PULLED THE STEERING LINKAGE OUT FROM THE STEERING COMPONENT. *TR

Oct 4, 1994

THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH LIGHTING CONTROL MODULES WHICH CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CURRENT LEAKAGE DUE TO DAMAGED SURFACE MOUNTING CAPACITORS. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF HEAD LAMPS AND PARKING LAMPS.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: SUDDEN LOSS OF HEADLAMPS CAN CAUSE REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY WHICH CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. ALSO, THE HEAD LAMPS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF, OR THEY MAY TURN ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BATTERY CHARGE AND INABILITY TO RESTART THE CAR.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP MODULE.
