| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle: 2000 pontiac sunfire the daytime running lights do not work; when the vehicle is put in gear, the lights "flicker" as the relay fires, but the lights do not remain on, then the "service" light comes on. about 75% of the time, the headlights will not turn on, and if they do, the bright lights do not work at all. you can "over-ride" the system by pulling the dimmer switch back partially, which then allows the headlights to come on. i have replaced the headlamp bulbs, and the drl relay, but the problem is still there. as i have been researching this, i saw a website called "carsurvey.org" where there are numerous complaints about this same problem on sunfires and cavaliers (1998 - 2002). many of these comments say that according to gm dealerships, this is a wiring harness problem, and that gm is aware of this problem, but will offer no assistance in correcting it. my question to you is this: does your organization have to wait until people die as a result of this problem before you will get involved? i do not know if there have been any accidents as a result of this, but i have to believe that there will be. please help!!!!!! *nm |
