| 1993 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING | SIGNAL LEVER CONTROLS THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: (1) CONTROLS TURN SIGNALS (2) WINDSHIELD WIPER & WASHER (3)CRUISE CONTROL(4) HEADLIGHT HIGH BEAM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON MY CAR. BOTH TIMES THERE WAS A FAILURE WHILE BEING USED WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE. THE PART WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED AND THE LEVER FLOPPED AROUND LOOSELY AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. WHEN DRIVING TO A PONTIAC DEALER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM IT WAS SNOWING AND I WAS UNABLE TO SIGNAL OR USE THE WIPERS AND WASHER. IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT THE DEALER HAD THE REPLACEMENT PART IN STOCK INDICATING IT IS A FREQUENT FAILURE, AND THE LEVER FLOPPED AROUND LOOSELY NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO A PONTIAC DEALER FOR REPAIR DURING A SNOW STORM WITHOUT WINDSHIELD WIPER, WASHER , AND SIGNAL LIGHTS. THEREFORE I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. IT IS TO NOTED THAT THE PONTIAC DEALER HAD THIS PART IN STOCK INDICATING THAT IT COULD A FREQUENT PROBLEM.*AK |
