Exterior lighting/tail lights - there is moisture build-up and heavy condensation in both tail lights, again. I've already had the tail light assembly replaced twice on both sides, and have to pay for it again. The cost for just one (1) tail light assembly is in excess of $250. Although there is a service bulletin for this same problem which many, many people have experienced on this make and model car, there's no recall. There's definitely a safety issue with this problem during the daytime because it causes poor visibility for other drivers on the road who can't see my brake lights. I already have one herniated disc in my neck due to a rear-end collision, and I don't need another one!

Since the Grand Prix was purchased in November of 1994 {1995 model} it has been taken into the dealer 10 times for either the left or right tail light assembly leaking water into them. The very first time the car was taken in was December 5, 1994 for the left tail light assembly to be replaced. Then it just continued on for another 4 replacements of the left tail light assembly. Then the right side started to leak. Then both at the same time. The last time it was looked at by the dealer was in 1999. Since then it has been leaking on and off consistantly. Recently I took the assembly out myself and found that the inner molding of the assembly was warped. I have not contacted Pontiac or the dealer with this finding, since the manufacturer told me that they would not honor a repair. I feel this is a safety problem because the tail light assembly fills up with water and when the brake lights are activated it causes a major fog and condensation in the assembly, so the lights are not visible to cars behind you. And the water has no where to go so it stays in the assemblies and continues to condensate. I am frustrated with Pontiac because they stated the mileage was too far out for a warranty coverage. I'm looking at it from a safety point and that I have taken the car in so many times for repair to both light assemblies. I also feel that because the car was a new body style for '95 there are problems that the manufacturer didn't work out. The light assemblies have both been replaced with new assemblies, but they continue to leak. So this could be looked at as a recall item. I would appreciate any help you can give.
