2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Complaint Log

My headlights quit working while I was driving with no warning

Seems like a bad motor gasket cause it’s a constant burning oil smell with no visible leaks at all

Unknown

got cutoff on a busy highway going 70mph and they slammed their brakes. i had 6 car lengths between us and immediately started braking but we were just skidding. I had the choice of hitting the vehicle or swerving left towards the median. I chose the latter. The steering locked up, the abs did NOT kick in and the airbags did NOT deploy. we hit a median at 70mph and no airbags?! I was point of impact. It hit the front drivers side, destroying the light and entire front. the car spun around and it hit again but this time it was the back passenger side/light. Again, NO airbags deployed. So my abs, steering, and airbags all had issues. We are so lucky no one is hurt in severeity but I am beyond fuming, scared, and confused why all of those locked up/failed to serve their purpose! Most severe injuries were me with contusions, strains, and a herniated disc in my neck (likely to cause chronic pain, per doctor.) cop already found me not at fault so no ticket/points, to give an idea. person kept driving. one person stopped and happened to be 4 cars behind us and verified what happened to us. The vehicle is totaled. We are sol on a car now as insurance said it wasn't worth having collision considering how old it was... never had an accident or ticket in 10+ years of driving. the car failed me.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND WHEN YOU TRY TO GO OVER 40 THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND WILL CONTINUE WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. I ALREADY HAD WORK DONE ON THE FUEL LINE CAUSE THE LINE WAS CLOGGED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD CAUSE THE FUEL WASN'T GETTING PUSHED THROUGH. MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AFTER MY BOYFRIEND PARKED IT. HE ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN HE TRIED DRIVING AWAY AND HE COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL LIKE USUAL. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES ITS THING WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO THE HEADLAMPS! THE BRIGHTS STAY ON, YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE DIMMER SWITCH BACK TO GET THE BRIGHTS TO TURN OFF BUT IF YOU LET GO OF THE SWITCH THEY TURN ON AND FLASH PEOPLE. IT ONLY TURNS OFF WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE AC COMPRESSOR BLEW TOO. I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO DURING THE WINTER SO IT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR, BUT WHEN SUMMER HIT IS WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS ONLY BLOWING AIR FROM OUTSIDE INTO THE CAB. THE HEATER WORKS, BUT THE AC DOESN'T. MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING HOME RECENTLY AND COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING HAPPENED IN TOWN AT HIS PLACE OF WORK AND HAD TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY TO COME HOME. THE CRUISE HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE HEADLAMPS IS A CONSTANT THING, WE PULLED THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE BRIGHTS AND THE DIMS WORKED JUST FINE, BUT IT'S HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT BRIGHTS.

MY CAR STARTED ON FIRE WHILE ON A CITY ROAD BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP PULLEY COMPLETELY SPRUNG OFF SERPENTINE BELT MELTED COOLANT RESERVOIR MELTED FUSE BOX BE MELTED FROM THE FIRE HOW MANY OTHER THINGS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKING FLUID AND HITTING MY EXHAUST CAUSING A FIRE IN MY CAR

MY VIHICLE TURNS OFF THE LOW BEAMS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I CAN HAVE AN ACCIDENT

BAD ENGINE HAD WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BAD KNOCKING NOISE WITHIN THE MOTOR DO TO FAULTY PARTS MECHANIC SAYS A PART FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTS BUT HAS BAD NOISE WITHIN THE ENGINE AND NOW VEHICLE IS RENDERED USELESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR POLICE WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

YOU CAN TURN THE KEY ON AND HAVE COMPLETE POWER INSIDE THE CAR THE DASH EVERYTHING BUT NO POWER TO THE MOTOR. THEN YOU CAN SOMETIMES TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR WILL HAVE THREE TO FIVE SECOND DELAY CRANKING. OR YOU CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND THERE'S A 3 5 SECOND DELAY IN THE CAR DYING. YOU CAN BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL DIE. IT TAKES IT 5 TO 45 MINUTES TO CRANK. MY FRIEND WHO IS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE AND ADDED A NEW WIRE TO SUPPLY POWER TO THE MOTOR. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE KEY IGNITION. I NEED THIS FIXED. I HAVE A TWO-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON AND I DOORDASH. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. *TR

MY 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX EXPERIENCES HEADLAMPS TURNING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON AGAIN. I DRIVE COUNTRY ROADS HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT WHERE THERE ARE NO STREETLIGHTS AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45-50 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ! ! ! IT IS SOCIALLY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR GM TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE. FOR SOME REASON 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX IS NOT PART OF GMS PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL (RECALL NUMBER: 14291 WHICH ONLY REPLACES THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE HDM FUSE). I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HDM RELAY TWICE ALREADY, WHICH ONLY LASTS FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS BEFORE BURNING OUT AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST WITH THE FUSE BUT LIKELY WITH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING OR THE FUSE BOX ITSELF. THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM MUST BE INVESTIGATED MORE THOROUGHLY BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. I DID READ THAT 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX WAS OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM THE HEADLAMP MODULES FOR 12 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER HAPPENS FIRST. UNFORTUNATELY, THE HEADLAMP PROBLEM JUST BEGAN FOR ME IN 2019 AT WHICH POINT THE CAR WAS 13 YRS OLD AND WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM OR THE SAFETY RECALL, WHICH IS SIMPLY ABSURD ! AT THE VERY LEAST GM SHOULD NOW INCLUDE THE 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX MODEL IN THE 14291 PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL. BUT GM REALLY NEEDS TO RELEASE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN A TEMPORARY FUSE REPLACEMENT EVERY COUPLE MONTHS. HAS ANYONE INVESTIGATED IF THESE OVERHEATED HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE RELAYS HAVE CAUSED ELECTRICAL FIRES OR MELTED THE UNDER HOOD BUSSED FUSEBOX? IF GM IS NOT WILLING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, I HOPE WE CONSUMERS CAN COUNT ON THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) TO FORCE GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR LOOKING INTO THIS SERIOUS MATTER.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY THE LOW BEAM WILL NOT WORK HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH

ENGINE DIES ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY SPEED LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT BRAKES OR POWER STEERING; VERY DANGEROUS DOWN HILL, ON CURVES, CHANGING LANES, AT SIGNALS, AT STOPS, DURING T;URNS, ETC.

YESTERDAY DRIVING HOME, MY CAR A 2006 PONATIC GRAND PRIX, 3.6 SUPERCHARGED " ENGINE REDUCE POWER" CAME ON. TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY THROTTLE BODY, MECHANIC SAID ITS COMMON, WHEN I WENT TO LOOK ALSO ONLINE TO FIND OUT ITS COMMON WITH ABOUT EVERY CAR..

ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND SAYS STARTING DISABLED DUE TO ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, ABS TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE MOVING AT THE CORRECT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT IN THE CITY, AND WHILE MAKING TURNS. SOMETIMES WHEN IT HAPPENS I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE ALMOST O CONTROL OF WHERE MY CAR GOES. AT FIRST THIS ONLY HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE A WEEK, BUT NOW IT CAN HAPPEN UP TO 10+ TIMES A DAY

MY GRANDPARENT GAVE ME THE CAR A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I LOST POWER TO ALL FUNCTIONS OF HEADLIGHTS. I COULD NOT TURN THEM AT ALL, WHETHER THE CAR WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING. I THEN REPLACED A FUSE THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM BRIEFLY. AFTER AWHILE, MY HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO STAY ON AFTER I HAVE SHUT THE CAR OFF. DURING THIS TIME, MY HIGH BEAMS WERE THE ONLY FUNCTION THAT WORKED. DUE TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MULTIPLE BATTERIES AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THE 2007 GRAND PRIX MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. IFM ASKING THAT GM EXTENT THE RECALL TO THE 2006 MODEL YEAR SO THIS ISSUE, THAT I HAVE DEALING WITH FOR YEARS, CAN FINALLY BE RESOLVED.

ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED, THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WAS A FIRE REPORT MADE. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 180,000 MILES AND WAS WELL MAINTAINED.

BRIGHTS COME ON WHEN USING EITHER TURN SIGNAL. SOMETIMES IN COLD WEATHER THE BRIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT TOUCHING TURN SIGNAL LEVER.

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED, AND A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH "CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE" WHEN I WOULD TRY TO TURN IT ON AND IT WOULD NOT START, IN STATIONARY POSITION. AT THE TIME, MY CAR KEY HAD 3 OTHER KEYS PLUS A SMALL KEYCHAIN, AND A CLASP TO HOOK ONTO A BELT LOOP OR SOMETHING. AFTER I TOOK OFF THE CLASP, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS, JUST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. I'M WONDERING WHAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS AND IT WAS NEVER TAKEN CARE OF PRIOR TO ME BUYING IT.

KEY TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START

WHEN I GO TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES IT WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT ,AND WHEN I GO TO PUT ON MY SIGNAL LIGHT TO THE RIGHT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS COMES ON AND WHEN I TURN ON MY HEATER THE DOOR OR SOMETHING THE SHOP TOLD ME WAS NOT OPENING FOR MY HEAT TO COME OUT,AND THAT'S THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING,WITH THE PONTIAC THEY ARE EXCELLENT CARS BUT HAS FEW ISSUES,CAN YOU PLEASE HELP WITH FIXING THESE PROBLEMS.I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE YET MY NUMBER IS [XXX]THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WENT TO THE LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE TO GET SOME ITEMS, ON THE WAY BACK HOME THE STEERING GOT VERY HARD TO TURN. MY BROTHER INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE POWER STEERING RESEAVORE EMPTY OF FLUID. HE REFILLED IT AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND IT LEAKING, (STREAM OF FLUID).

OUT OF THE BLUE,MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY ABS,BRAKE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM SOON MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH AND DISPLAY SCREEN. I DO NOT HAVE A WARNING AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS EITHER GOING TO GO TO THE FLOOR OR THE BRAKES TOTALLY LOCK UP AND ALL I CAN DO IS TRY TO KEEP FROM HITTING SOMEONE . IT IS WORSE WHEN IT IS RAINING. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE IN WET CONDITIONS. I CAN BE AT ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND THERE I GO TRYING TO KEEP FROM HITTING SOMEONE OR BEING HIT BECAUSE I AM THROWN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION.I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I REPLACED BOTH WHEEL HUBS,PADS AND ROTORS, AND RELAYS. NOTHING HAS HELPED. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS AND IF NOT, WHY?

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. 55,000 ON A GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE. WIFE RETURNING FROM FUNERAL SERVICES WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON AN UNLIGHTED ROADWAY AT 55MPH. THE EVENT CAUSED A PANIC AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL. THE FAILED PART THAT CAUSED THIS IS GM#15016745 AND READILY AVAILABLE AT AUTO PARTS STORES FOR 35-50 DOLLARS. GM DID RECALL A MESS OF GM PRODUCTS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART. IN CONVERSATION WITH GM THEY HAVE YET TO OFFER TO REPLACE MY PART WITH THE $300 REPLACEMENT PART UNDER THAT RECALL NOR OFFER TO TAKE ACTION TO RECALL THE PART ITSELF. HOW MANY UNKNOWING PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED DAILY TO THIS RISK DAILY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE ON POSITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. UPON INSPECTION OF THE HOOD, THE CONTACT NOTICED BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BETTEN BAKER CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC (14120 NORTH LAND DR, BIG RAPIDS, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX AND ENGINE ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 182,000. *LN UPDATED 7/17/18*JB *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP TURNING OFF/ON AT NIGHT ON THEIR OWN, WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR STATIONARY, IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE FOG LIGHTS ON THE CAR I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH NOW! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT GETTING THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET?

HEADLIGHTS STARTED OFF JUMPING WHEN DRIVING. THEN WHEN PARKED STARTING CAR SOMETIMES HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND TIMES IT WOULD NOT. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN ON HIGH BEAMS TO GET HEADLIGHTS ON TO STAY ON. THEN THAT DIDN'T WORK ANY MORE. NOW HEADLIGHTS ARE GONE AND DASH BOARD LIGHT ARE ALSO OUT.

LOW BEAMS DON'T WORK INLESS THEY WANT TO N THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DON'T WORK

THE HEADLAMPS OF THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF WHILE ONE (EITHER WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON, OR THE LIGHTS MANUALLY TURNED ON). THIS IS ONLY LOW-BEAMS. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM/PONTIAC THAT THEY WILL COVER THE REPLACEMENT, HOWEVER, IT'S ONLY IF IT'S UNDER 150,000. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL, REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE (OURS IS ALMOST 199,000). THE LIGHTS FIRST TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS IDLING AT A GAS STATION. THEY TURNED BACK ON SOMETIME DAYS AFTER THAT WHEN WE FIRST DROVE IT AGAIN AT NIGHT. I WAS LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM HOME WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED.. THE NEXT TIME WE NOTICED THIS, WE WERE ABOUT 15 MILES FROM HOME, DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF AS WE WERE DRIVING. WE HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH-BEAMS ON. WE GOT ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND WE WERE THE ONLY ONES ON THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE HIGH BEAMS AND THE LOW BEAMS WERE BACK TO WORKING. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE COVERED, SINCE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE.

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.

THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STAY ON, MY HORN DOESN'T WORK, THE INSTRUMENT CODES WILL BLINK OFF AND ON.. THERE IS A WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR THAT CAUSES A POWER SURGE THAT BLOWS OUT THE BLOWER MOTOR TO GO OUT.. IT HAS BURN MARKS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH MALFUNCTION, WHICH AFFECTED THE TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS. WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED, FORCING THE CONTACT TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT 67K MILES, AND IT WENT OUT ON ME AGAIN AT 110K MILES. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT NOT ONLY A GM CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP, BUT A PONTAIC DEALERSHIP (JOHN HINE PONTAIC) IN SAN DIEGO. THE TRANSMISSION WAS A GM CERTIFIED REFURBISH FROM CANADA. NO RECALLS FROM GM, AND NO REIMBURSEMENT POLICY. THIS IS AN ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A UTILITY POLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. DURING THE INCIDENT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO BOTH SHOULDERS. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY LOW BEAMS WILL GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING, NOT CONSISTENT. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY OR CITY. THEY WILL COME BACK AFTER A FEW MINUTES, OR SOMETIMES DAYS. I STILL HAVE HIGH BEAMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND WHITE SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 228,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON HIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD OVERHEAT BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, SLUDGE COULD BUILD UP AND THE VEHICLE COULD LOCK UP AND EXPLODE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHEN DRIVING. NORMALLY AT NIGHT TIME AND WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 24 MONTHS AND IT HAS STARTED TO GET MORE FREQUENT OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS.(NOT SURE THIS IS BECAUSE OF MORE NIGHT TIME DRIVING I HAVE BEEN DOING] THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD I AM NOW SPENDING $580 ON A COMPUTER ISSUE AND ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER ISSUES TO DEAL WITH>I AM HOPING THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM

DAVE CROSS MOTORS WOULD NOT ASSIST SAID UNTIL LIGHTS FAILED. MCARTHY VERY HELPFUL BUT STILL HAVE NOT GOT PARTS IN SINCE MAY 26TH- LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. WHY SEND RECALL WARNING OF DANGER IF NOBODY WANTS TO FIX IT OR UNABLE TO GET PARTS IN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING STARTUP ISSUES WITH MY CAR. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND AND WILL NOT TURN ON. I HAVE TO JUMP START MY CAR WITB A HALO PORTABLE CHARGER, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANT TO DRIVE IT. SOMETIMES MY CAR CUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT TWICE! MY CAR HAS RANDOMLY CUT OFF IN MOTION WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, AND ON A RURAL ROAD IN ANOTHER CITY. I HAVE CALLED BEFORE AND WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT ONLINE. THIS ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING A YEAR AGO BUT ONLY OCCASIONALLY. NOW THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. I ASSUMED I HAD A BAD BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR OR STARTER, SO I REPLACED ALL THREE PARTS, INCLUDING SPARK PLUGS, WIRES AND AIR FILTERS. I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NEED THIS RESOLVED. I NEED TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO AND FROM WORK AND DO NOT DEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, WHEN IT RANDOMLY CUTS OFF. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I AM A LONG TIME PONTIAC OWNER AND DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF A FULLY PAID FOR CAR IF THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BY YOUR COMPANY.

THE LOW BEAMS ON OUR 2006 GRAND PRIX GO OUT WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. WE DO HAVE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS MOVING WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT WILL COME BACK ON COULD BE HOURS OR DAY BEFORE THEY START WORKING AGAIN. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT IS WORKING AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION ALMOST COST MY FAMILY THERE LIFE AND GM KNOWS THEY ARE FLAWEC

CAR HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY OVERHEATING, RADIATOR HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND REFILLED WITH FRESH COOLANT AND NEW THERMOSTAT WAS BLED. CAR IS FINE WHILE DRIVING OVER 50MPH BUT OVERHEATS WHEN IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT. DRIVER BACK WINDOW MOTOR IS OUT, THE WINDOW GOES DOWN BUT WON'T GO UP. THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY WHILE DRIVING AND HAD TO PULL ON THE SIDE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT IT WON'T START UP BUT THE LIGHTS COME ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. GM NEEDS TO TAKE THIS VEHICLES COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD THEY HAVE STOP MAKING THEM AND I CAN SEE WHY THEY'RE NOTHING BUT MONEY EATERS.

I HAVE A 2006PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP, PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THEM BEING REPLACED AFTER THE BURNED OUT. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR VERY MUCH AT ALL. I ONLY HAVE 53000 MILES ON IT. JUST IN THE LAST TWO YEARS I NEVER REALLY KNOW ABOUT MY HEAD LIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT. THE LOW BEAMS WOULD STOP WORKING FOR PERIODS OF TIME AND I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE MUCH AT NIGHT, THEN JUST RECENTLY THEY STARTED ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME, BUT DURING THE DAYTIME THE RUNNING LIGHTS WORKED AND THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE THE HDM RELAY, I REPLACED IT AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK AND NOW MONEY IS STARTING TO GET WASTED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED TO FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD OR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL THAT CONSUMERS WERE TRYING TO GET GM IT IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL NUMBER I WAS PROVIDED WAS RECALL # IS 14291. I SEARCHED FOR THIS NUMBER AND ANY RECALLS THAT MIGHT PERTAIN TO THIS AND COULDN'T FIND RECALLS SINCE THE IGNITION SWITCH INVOLVING THE KEY. IS THERE ANYTHING BEING DONE OR INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM? MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OFF FOR 2 YEARS AND I'M TRYING SEE IF SOMEONE COULD PINPOINT THE PROBLEM.
