2007 Pontiac Grand Prix

DRIVING HOME ON MEMORIAL DAY, NIGHT THROUGH TRAFFIC, PEOPLE YELLING TO TURN "TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON". MY LIGHTS ON MY 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX ARE AUTOMATIC. I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR ALL WEEK LONG ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY HEADLIGHTS. THE FUSE BLOCK HAS GONE BAD AND MY LOW BEAMS DO NOT WORK. THERE IS NO ALARM, NOTICE THAT GOES OFF TO TELL ME THIS. MY LIGHTS WHEN I TURN THEM ON MANUALLY DO NOT SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT WORKING. EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE FINE IN SIDE THE CAR. YOU JUST HAVE NOT HEADLIGHTS, LOW BEAMS, ONLY HIGH BEAMS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GRAND PRIX AND I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND POSSIBLY DURING THE DAY WHICH I'M UNAWARE OF. I'VE HAD THIS BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3-4 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW I'M GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO LIGHTS ANYWHERE. I PUT ON THE HIGH BEAMS AND WAS SCARED THEY WOULD ALSO GO OUT. THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND FRIENDS DON"T WANT TO RIDE WITH ME. *TR

THE STEERING RACK MOUNT ON THE CO-DRIVER SIDE BROKE. THIS HORSE SHOE TYPE RACK MOUNT IS WELDED TO THE STEERING RACK AND BOLTED TO THE FRAME. THEREFORE THE STEERING RACK IS LOOSE ON THE CO-DRIVER SIDE AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL IS LOOSE.

ON NOV.18TH 2008 A FRIEND AND I WERE ROBBED WHEN A 6FT 5 BLACK MAN GOT INTO THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR. I HAD CRACKED MY WINDOW, BUT WHEN I PUT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 IN PARK ALL OF MY DOORS UNLOCKED. AS LONG AS IT IS IN GEAR ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED, BUT WHEN PUT IN PARK IT UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY. IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT AND I COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO LOCK OR UNLOCK MY DOORS THEN ODDS ARE WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ROBBED OR HARMED. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T GET BACK INTO MY CAR THE DEALER GAVE ME A DIFFERENT NEW CAR. IT IS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT, AND IT ALSO HAS THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. THIS UNNERVES ME TERRIBLY AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR ALONE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR I HAVE NOW. I KNOW THAT MAYBE ALL VEHICLES ARE NOT LIKE THIS BUT I ALSO HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND IT IS THE SAME WAY, LOCKS WHEN IN GEAR, BUT UNLOCKS FOR PARK. THERE IS NO BENEFIT TO THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, AND THE CAR IS IN GEAR THEN HOW COULD AUTHORITIES GET IN TO THE VICTIM, OTHER THAN BREAKING THE WINDOWS IN? THIS IS A FEATURE THAT SHOULD BE UP TO THE DRIVER OF THE CAR, JUST AS AN AIRBAG SWITCH CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF AT THE DRIVERS WISH, SO SHOULD THE LOCKS. I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS AND ONE WILL BE GETTING LICENSE IN 2 YEARS AND I WANT TO HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT SHE WILL HAVE LOCKED DOORS AT ALL TIMES WHEN SHE IS MAYBE JUST SITTING SOMEWHERE TALKING WITH FRIENDS, OR IS PARKED WAITING ON ANOTHER FRIEND TO ARRIVE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTER,OR MOTHER? THE ROBBERY PUT ME IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 4 WEEKS TO TRY AND GET OVER THE TRAUMA OF THE ROBBERY. I AM STILL TO THIS DAY ON MEDICATIONS AND SEEING A THERAPIST WEEKLY. IF ANYTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF THIS I WANT TO KNOW THAT FOR ALL WOMEN WE CAN DRIVE AND PARK AND STILL BE SAFE. THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY IS NOT A GOOD ONE, AND WE MUST TAKE ALL OF THE SAFETY MEASURES WE CAN TO INSURE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS TO GO THROUGH WHAT MY FRIEND AND I DID ON THAT NIGHT . *TR
