2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V519000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR HDM MODULE. DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE FOR REPAIRS, CONTACTED GM, THEY CONTACTED DEALER AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN FOR TEMP. REPAIR, AT NO CHARGE WHICH IS WHAT WAS STATED ON RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. I DID SO JUST TO FIND THAT NIGHT THAT NOTHING HAD CHANGED. CONTACTED DEALER AND GM TO GET THE SAME RESULT. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OR WAIT FOR A PERMENANT FIX. NEW SWITCHES MIGHT BE BAD BUT USUALLY WILL LAST A WHILE BEFORE DOING SO. DEALER NEVER ASK TO SEE CAR TO FOLLOW UP ON PREVIOUS "REPAIR" AND GM SEEMS TO BE TAKING THERE SIDE. I DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON BUT HEAD LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM AND THIS DEALER. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS AS I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AT RISK WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A WEEK BEFORE FROM A USED DEALER. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE AT NIGHT WAS ON MY SON'S GRADUATION. IT WAS ONLY A FEW MINS INTO DRIVING WITH MY LOW BEAMS ON AND THEY JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. I FREAKED IT WAS PICH DARK AND I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THEM TO COME ON. I TURNED THEM ON BRIGHT AND MY BRIGHTS WORKED BUT THE LOW BEAM WAS STILL OFF. A FEW MINS LATER THE LOW BEAM FINALLY CAME BACK ON. THEN IT DID IT AGAIN A FEW MINS LATER. THE LOW BEAM WILL DO THIS ALL THE TIME EVEN THE RUNNING LIGHTS. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR AN ANSWER TO THIS AND FOUND THAT MY YEAR MODEL IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAN TRULY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I AM VERY GRATEFUL I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON THAT ROAD THAT NIGHT IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IS NOT TRANSMITTING AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL TO ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO TURN TO THE OFF POSITION AND WILL ONLY TURN AS FAR AS THE ACC (ACCESSORY) POSITION SO THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DRAIN AND DIE LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE NIGHT AND ON THE ROAD AND IN DANGER OFTEN. A LOCKSMITH SAID CONTINUING TO TURN AND PULL ON THE KEY TRYING TO REMOVE IT MYSELF COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS NECK AND HEAD INJURY IF THE AIRBAG WHERE TO DEPLOY WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET THE KEY UNSTUCK. I TOOK TO CHEVROLET DEALER AND HE SAID HE WOULD NEED A RECALL CODE/NUMBER TO ACCEPT MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR WITH THIS ISSUE.

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW BEAM OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE ON THIS WEBSITE. PONTIAC/GM NEED TO ISSUE A FIX FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE!!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT SEDAN. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE LOT, I WENT TO TURN ONTO A STREET TRAVELING ROUGHLY FIVE TO SEVEN MILES PER HOUR, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS SENSOR LIGHT BOTH REGISTERED ACROSS THE SYSTEM INFORMATION SCREEN AND NOTED THAT I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED THAT WE START LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. AFTERLOOKING ONLINE, WE NOTED THAT MULTIPLE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. MOST OF THE FIXES THAT WE HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE TRIED WE HAVE ALSO TRIED, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX THE ISSUE. NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS SYSTEM LIGHT ARE ON 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. AT APPROXIMATELY 12 A.M. THIS MORNING, I TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE BRAKES. THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT VERY HARD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BY HITTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT BOTH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS WERE NOT REGISTERING ON THE SCREEN. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS STARTED TO APPEAR EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. THIS IS THE FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME IN THE LAST MONTH THAT THE BRAKES HAVE NOT RESPONDED. MY MECHANIC AND I ARE BOTH AT OUR WITS END TRYING TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT. IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES WILL NOT RESPOND. WE ARE LOOKING INTO REPLACING THE ABS MODULE AT THIS POINT AS A VERY LAST RESORT, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. *TR

BOUGHT CAR ON APRIL 1, 2015, WHEN WE DID TEST DRIVE, STEERING MADE WEIRD NOISE AND STEERING WAS REAL HARD TO TURN WHEEL. TOLD DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T BUY CAR UNLESS THEY HAD IT LOOKED AND FIXED. DEALER LOOKED AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE SOMETHING IN THE STEERING SHAFT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PART AND WHEN IT CAME WE BRING CAR IN, BUT CAR WAS OK TO DRIVE UNTIL THEN. GOT A WORK ORDER FROM DEALER SHOWING THEY WOULD COVER COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING WHILE MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING CAR STEERING GOT REAL HARD TO TURN WHEEL AND HE CRASHED INTO TWO PARKED CARS AND OUR CAR FLIPPED AND AIR BAGS WENT OFF. HE HIT HEAD AND WAS KNOCKED OUT, CHEST PAIN AND BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN FROM THIS. CAR IS A COMPLETE LOSS TO US. *TR

CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER15V-519 RECALL 14291 THE LEFT HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT AND THIS RECALL IS SUPPOSE TO FIX THAT SITUATION BUT THE LOCAL DEALERS SAY NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. WHAT ARE THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES SUPPOSE TO DO. I HAVE PLACE 4 OR 5 LIGHTS IN THIS CAR TO DATE. A SOLUTION SURELY HAS BEEN FOUND. IF NOT GM SHOULD BUY THE CAR.

CAR STARTED ON FIRE 10-15 MINUTES AFTER BEING PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT. FIRE COMPANY HAD TO BE DISPATCHED. NO INJURIES OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE.....UPDATED 04/08/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 10/4/2017*CN

THE CAR DROVE FINE DURING THE DAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE DAY WAS A WARM SUNNY DAY. I PARKED THE CAR AT CHURCH AND WENT INSIDE. 45 MIN. - 1 HOUR AFTER PARKING THE CARE I WAS ASKED TO GO OUTSIDE. WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS SMOKING WITH THE LIGHTS FLASHING AND WIPERS RUNNING. UPON OPENING THE HOOD I FOUND THE FUSE BOX WAS COMPLETELY MELTED THROUGH WITH THE WIREHARNESS MELTED THROUGH WHERE IT PLUGS INTO THE FUSE BOX. THE WIREHARNESS ACROSS THE ENGINE WAS ALSO MELTED ACROSS THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. *TR

BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY THE END OF MARCH, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BOTH OF MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THEY CAME RIGHT BACK ON AT THAT TIME SO I THOUGHT I HIT A SWITCH. SOMETIME IN MAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO BACK ON SO I USED MY HI BEAMS. THE LOW BEAMS WORKED FINE IN THE MORNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. LAST NIGHT ON JULY 23, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A DARK, CURVY ROAD AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD. THIS MORNING, THEY WORK FINE AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS. I AM SURPRISED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED, BUT SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, I SUSPECT THE DEALER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OR FIX THE PROBLEM.

AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 150 MILES FROM MACON, GA, IN THE MORNING OF THE 16TH, THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON I-75 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING 75 MPH IN THE PASSING LANE. WE HAD NO ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL OUT AFTER 10 OR 15 MILES. THE ONLY WARNING WAS 2 CHIMES FROM THE CAR BEFORE TOTAL SHUT DOWN. WE DID HAVE FLASHER LIGHTS AND WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR EACH TIME. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 8 TIMES. WE STOPPED AT SEVERAL AUTO PARTS PLACES TO SEE IF WE COULD FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT NO LUCK. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN ASHBURN, GA (PARKER CHEVROLET). THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, OR DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. POOR SERVICE! THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS OKAY! JUST 2 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT STALLED AGAIN. WE MANAGED TO GET TO GAINESVILLE, FL WHERE THE CLOSEST CHEVROLET DEALER WAS LOCATED. WE TALKED TO [XXX] FROM GAINESVILLE AUTOMOTIVE CHEVROLET WHO WAS A CALMING VOICE AFTER OUR EXPERIENCE. SHE GAVE US A HOTEL RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NIGHT AND SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN AT 7 AM THE FOLLOWING MORNING. SHE WAS GREAT, AND SO WAS THE ENTIRE STAFF! THEY GOT RIGHT TO WORK ON THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AT 7 AM. AFTER ABOUT AT HOUR, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED US THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE A NEW COMPUTER AT A COST OF $940 AND COULD BE BACK ON THE ROAD BY NOON. WE WERE BACK ON THE ROAD BY 12:30. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE HAVING MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

I DROVE MY PONTIAC TO CVS AND RETURNED HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. PARKED THE CAR AS USUAL AND WENT INTO MY HOME. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, MY NEIGHBOR CAME TO MY DOOR TO ALERT ME THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD ALREADY CALLED 911 SO I JUMPED INTO ACTION AND GOT MY WATER HOSE TO TRY AND CONTAIN THE FIRE. THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD.THE CAR BURNED FOR AROUND 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO USE THE JAWS OF LIFE TO OPEN THE HOOD. THERE WAS NO RECENT WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING NORMAL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY ALLSTATE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY AFTER 3 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT. THE HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK. IF THE CAR IS OFF FOR 5 MINUTES IT SEEMS TO RESET, BUT WILL ONLY LAST 3 MINUTES AGAIN.

2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. CONSUMER REQUESTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMP DRIVER MODULE RECALL NOTICE REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING IN NOVEMBER 2014. IN SEPTEMBER 2015, HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. WHILE AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, HE INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL IN THEIR SYSTEM. THE CONSUMER SUBMITTED A REQUEST FORM FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX VIN: [XXX] HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS COME ON WHILE TRAVELING WITHOUT CAUSE. OCTOBER 28, 2014 TONIGHT COMING HOME TRAVELING APPROX. 25-30 MPH ON SIDE STREET LOW BEAM LIGHTS SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAM WITHOUT DRIVER EVER TOUCHING TURN SIGNAL/HEADLIGHT SWITCH ARM ON LEFT OF STEERING COLUMN. ORIGINALLY IT WAS NOTICED DURING RIGHT HAND TURNS WHEN RIGHT HAND BLINKER TURNED ON THAT HEAD LIGHTS WOULD CHANGE FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM. THIS OBSERVATION STARTED OCCURRING APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER 2013. I HAVE READ ABOUT FIRES IN OTHER VEHICLES FROM FAULTY SWITCHES AND THIS CONCERNS ME GREATLY. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SO IT CAN BE FIXED? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER (GM RECALL 14350) & CONTACTED MY DEALER ON OCT. 2 TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN FIX THE DEFECT ON MY CAR. THEY WILL CALL ME. THAT MEANS I WILL BE RIDING AROUND IN A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY DEFECT FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

MY 2007 GRAND PRIX LOWER LIGHTS JUST CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I REPLACED MY BATTERY, MY ALTERNATOR AND STARTER IS WORKING FINE. MY HIGH BEAMS DID IT TWICE ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO BUT HAVEN'T HAPPENED SINCE. I'M SCARED TO TRAVEL AT NIGHT BUT I HAVE A BROTHER WHO CAN'T WALK AND HE LIVES ON THE NEXT ROAD FROM MY HOUSE AND I HAVE TO GO TO HIS HOUSE EVERY NIGHT. I HAVE 2 FRIENDS THAT HAVE A GRAND PRIX, ONE HAS A 2006 AND THE OTHER A 2008. THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. OUR KEY PADS DON'T WORK EITHER. MINE STOPPED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2007. ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE BY COINCEDENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME SOON. *TR

CONTACTED DEALER REGARDING THE RECALLED PART. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL. OVER 2 MONTHS LATER AND STILL NOT CONTACT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR BRAKE CALIPERS FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CERAMIC PISTON WAS CRACKED FROM OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,200.

VERY UPSET WITH THE FACT THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT GIVING LOANER VEHICLE TO CONSUMERS WHO HAVE IGNITION RECALL 14350. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND I AM NOT OKAY PUTTING HIS LIFE IN DANGER WHEN I KNOW IT CAN BE AVOIDED. GM SAID THAT IT IS NOT DANGEROUS AND PARTS MAY BECOME AVAILABLE AFTER OCTOBER 1ST. HOWEVER, IF MY CAR'S IGNITION WERE TO MOVE FROM THE RUN POSITION WHILE I AM DRIVING ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKING MAY BE EFFECTED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF THE IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT IN THE RUN POSITION, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR FATALITY. THIS IS FROM THE RECALL NOTICE GM IS SENDING OUT. YET THEY ARE TELLING ME OVER THE PHONE THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM GM. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JUST GOT UP TO 55 EVERYTHING SHUT OFF NO POWER NO STEERING NO POWER BRAKES NO MOTOR RUNNING GOT IT STOPPED TURNED KEY IT STARTED WENT TO MY LOCAL SHOP (THE SAME DAY) PUT ON COMPUTER NO CODES HE CHECKED EVERYTHING NO PROBLEMS ???? IT HAS ALSO FAILED TO START FOR MY WIFE SEVERAL TIMES( YESTERDAY WAS THE LATEST) AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS STARTED JUST FINE TOOK TO MY LOCAL SHOP AFTER EACH TIME NO PROBLEMS LOCAL DEALER OFFERED NO HELP. *TR

OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS AT RANDOM OCCASIONS THE LOW BEAMS WOULD JUST TURN OFF IN MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY, THE HIGH BEAMS HAVE ALWAYS WORKED SO I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE. I RESEARCHED HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND I ENDED UP REPLACING THE RELAY TO THE LOW BEAMS TWICE SINCE OCT. 2011. REPLACING THE RELAY ALWAYS SEEMED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS JUST A FAULTY RELAY. LAST NIGHT, MY WIFE RETURNED HOME FROM DINNER AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. SHE CALLED ME TO ASK WHAT SHE SHOULD DO. I ADVISED HER TO EITHER DISCONNECT THE BATTERY OR REMOVE THE RELAY THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST UNTIL I COULD COME HOME AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. AS SHE OPENED THE HOOD SHE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. IT WAS DARK SO SHE WENT TO GRAB A FLASHLIGHT, AND UPON RETURNING THE RELAY PANEL WAS NOW ON FIRE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NEARBY FOR HER TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES BEFORE IT GOT OUT OF HAND. OUR 3 YEAR OLD AND 8 MONTH OLD SONS HAD ALSO JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR AS WELL. I CRINGE THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD MY FAMILY BEEN DRIVING AN EXTRA 10 MINUTES WHEN THIS FIRE BEGAN, OR IF MY WIFE COULDN'T HAVE RETURNED IN TIME WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE LOW BEAMS SHUTTING OFF, AND SEVERAL THAT ENDED WITH A FIRE SUCH AS OURS DID. *TR

THE KEY HAD STARTED GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, ONE DAY IT JUST DID NOT COME OUT. ONCE THE IGNITION TUMBLER WAS REMOVED THERE WAS A LONG CRACK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HOUSING WHICH WAS CAUSING THE KEYS TO LOOSEN AND SO THE KEY WAS NOT TURNING IN SYNC AND GOT STUCK. THE KEY BROKE OFF IN THE IGNITION STUCK ON ACCESSORY UNTIL THE PART CAME IN I WOULD HAVE TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY EVERY TIME I LEFT MY CAR FOR LONG PERIODS SO THE BATTERY WOULD NOT DRAIN POWER. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CABLE CAME OFF BECAUSE OF BEING LOOSENED FROM MULTIPLE REMOVAL. I LOST ALL POWER DRIVING AT 70MPH I DID NOT PANIC I SIMPLY PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A JUMP START HOWEVER I COULD SEE THIS RESULTING IN A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

I NOTICED MY CAR LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I THEN DROVE MY CAR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AWAY TO PICK UP MY KIDS. UPON PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT I LET DOWN MY WINDOW AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. THERE WERE GUYS AROUND AT THE TIME THAT NOTICED AS WELL. THEY THEN RAN TO MY CAR ASKED ME TO POP MY HOOD AND WE NOTICED MY FUSE BOX ON FIRE. THEY WHERE ABLE TO UNHOOK IT TO KEEP THE REST OF THE CAR FROM CATCHING ON FIRE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ALSO WITH GM. I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN TO MANY OF THE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. I CANNOT FIND A RECALL ON THIS FROM GM. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND BEEN DRIVING A LONGER DISTANCE THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED MY WHOLE CAR TO CATCH ON FIRE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

LEAVING MY CHILD'S DAY CARE PROVIDER MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. MY HUSBAND CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME THINKING THE FUSE HAD BLOWN. HE HAD REPLACED THE FUSE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE TO HAVE IT BLOWN OUT AGAIN SO SOON. HE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE AND TOOK OUR DAUGHTER INSIDE. HE WENT BACK TO THE GARAGE TO CHECK IT OUT MORE IN DETAIL AND IMMEDIATELY SMELLED BURNT PLASTIC. HE THEN OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE FUSE BLOCK WAS MELTED WHERE THE RECENT RELAY WAS REPLACED. *TR

I PARKED MY CAR AT WORK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS APPARENTLY NEVER SHUT OFF. THE SWITCHES INSIDE THE CAR WERE ALL OFF. I JUMPED THE CAR AND DROVE HOME AND FOUND THAT NO MATTER WHAT I DID THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I WENT TO PULL RELAY 35 AND BURNT MY HAND. IT WAS MELTING AND I HAD TO GET A PAIR OF PLIERS TO REMOVE IT. I HAVE HAD THIS RELAY FAIL AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE PAST BUT IT NEVER KEPT THE LIGHTS ON. THEY WOULD ONLY NOT TURN OFF. RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE'S CAR CATCHING FIRE. *TR

REFERENCE RECALL 14V755 NOV 25, 2014, I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY 2014 WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ON A BACK ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING 45 MPH AND SUDDENLY PITCH BLACK. I THOUGHT QUICKLY THOUGHT TO HIT MY HIGH BEAMS. AFTER SPENDING MONEY, REPLACED THE RELAY AND THE FOLLOWING JULY IT COMPLETELY MELTED DOWN, BURNING UP MY FUSE BOX AND SEVERAL WIRES IN THE HARNESS WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITHOUT KEYS IN IT. I HAPPENED TO WALK OUT AND SMELLED IT BURNING. I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. CLEARLY IT WAS THE (HDM) HEADLIGHT RELAY STATED IN THIS RECALL. (PHOTO ATTACHED).I'VE SPENT ABOUT $1500.00 IN REPAIRS. THERE ARE MANY BLOGS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND BURNED UP A LOT WORSE THAN MINE. IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR PROBLEM ENDING WITH FIRES IN THE FUSE BOX.

WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH ONE NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHT, WHICH WERE SET TO AUTO, SUDDENLY WENT OUT. WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING USING THE HIGH BEAMS. LATER THAT EVENING THE LIGHTS RESUMED WORKING. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONTH. HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES BUT NOW LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. REPLACE THE BULBS, SWITCH AND MODULE WITH NO LUCK. CHECKED ALL FUSES WHICH ARE FINE. NOW I HAVE NO WORKING LOW BEAMS AND AM DRIVING THE CAR USING HIGH BEAMS ONLY. I WORRY THAT HIGH BEAMS WILL STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. VERY CONCERNED THAT I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, SOME RESULTING IN FIRES, WITH NO RESOLUTION. SHOULDN'T THIS BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE? *TR

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, COMING AROUND CURVE AND COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL/ STEER TO THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE TURN.... CRASHED HEAD ON WITH A DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK. CAR IS TOTALLED.
