After a few minutes of driving the low beam lights will turn off and cannot be turned back on. High beams will work, but low beams cease to operate without warning. Problem occurs randomly, operating fine one day and turning off without warning at other unpredictable time frame.

When using the turn signal, the vehicle's high beams may turn on without intent. This could potentially blind other drivers on the road and cause an accident. This happens when the vehicle is stationary, in motion, and turning. Cold weather amplifies the issue. The issue is demonstrated in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36scdplz3dk

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 pontiac grand prix. The contact stated that he had headlights and a blue tooth installed in the vehicle. When he removed the key from the ignition, the stereo made a loud popping noise that could be heard through the speakers. Whenever it pops, the contact experiences electrical failures and the clock, instrument panel gauges, and the stereo would reset. Oftentimes, the head and tail lights will dim while driving at night. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The tail lights have blown on the vehicle at least nine times. The windshield was blurry, which resembled driving under the influence and prevented clear visibility. The windshield was replaced under warranty. The manufacturer instructed him to take the vehicle to the nearest dealer.

I have a 2006 pontiac grand prix, and it seems to have paint problems. It is a blue colored car and the least little scatch shows up. Not only that, there seems to be no bottom coat of paint, therefore exposing the metal. Also, the windshield cracked without force or hit...it started from the bottom..also the windshield wipers outer layer melted.
