I have a Pontiac Gran Am. The car was recently in a wreck (we had no insurance, I had to swerve to avoid some jerk who pulled into my lane, hit a tree at around 20 mph) The right side panel, rear bumper, and right headlight were replaced.
For some reason after the parts were reattached the headlights seem to be weaker. I can see almost no difference between the brights and the normal lamps. Also the Service Vehicle Soon light is on (which indicates a problem with the lights, my manual says.
Also, when I'm driving and I speed up, I hear a grinding sound, not really grinding but humming, that appears when I speed up. It only comes when I'm going from 0 to 30 or 40mph, almost like it appears only when the car is shifting gears.
I'm a new college student and we are having a hard time with money, just me and my mom, and the repairs almost killed us (only had insurance that paid for other driver). I'm thinking of selling the car if these problems are serious.
I love the car. It only has 83K and it's in fantastic shape, but the wreck did something.
