2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Exterior Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated while driving at night the headlights had started to fail and would not properly illuminate. The contact stated that the fog lights and hi-beam worked as designed. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer in 2021 to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V519000 (Exterior Lighting); however, the contact stated that following the recall repair, the headlights started to fail. The contact was informed that the vehicle would be diagnosed and repaired out-of-pocket. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.

The multifunction/turning signal switch is malfunctioning. It started in 2012 about a year after I purchased the car. The brights would randomly turn on without me touching the switch and then the brights would turn on when I'd use my turning signal. I delt with it for several years, but eventually it got so bad that the brights wouldn't even turn off at all. I would have to drive with my finger holding the switch to keep the brights off. It made it extremely difficult to drive the car, especially when I had to turn. It was very unsafe not having full control of the steering wheel just to keep the brights off. I finally decided to have the switch replaced in 2019 and it seemed to solve the issue until about 6 months ago. The brights started randomly coming on and now they are on all the time and won't shut off. I feel incredibly unsafe driving because of having to hold the switch so it stays off. I'm sure it's a nuisance/unsafe for other drivers to have bright lights in their eyes all the time while driving too. I believe the switch is faulty based on the fact that I've had two and have had the same issue with both of them.

MY 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX HAD A HEADLAMP SWITCH PROBLEM. I WOULD BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD JUST GO OUT. SOMETIMES IF YOU'D KEEP THEM ON LOW BEAM YOU'D HAVE LIGHTS. BUT SOMETIMES EVEN THIS DIDN'T WORK. THERE WAS A RECALL IN THIS SO I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR. IT WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT THEN QUIT WORKING AND THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. WE PARKED THE CAR FOR A WHILE. THEN GAVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND. WE RECENTLY GOT THE CAR BACK FROM MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE THEY HAD BECAUSE OF THE SAME REASON. THEY WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED A GM DEALERSHIP HERE IN TOWN AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. I THEN CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR.

I HAVE A SECONDARY AIR ISSUE THAT WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET FIXED, EVEN WITH ALL THE PARTS WE HAVE REPLACED. ALSO AT NIGHT EVERY TIME I USE MY BLINKER THE HIGH BEAMS COME ON AND WON'T TURN OFF. THE ISSUE IS WHEN IM DRIVING AT NIGHT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN MY BLINKER CLICKS BACK INTO PLACE.

THE TURN SIGNAL STALK THAT IS ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY THE BRIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE RANDOMLY BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN MAKING A TURN AND USING THE TURN SIGNAL THE BRIGHTS WILL ALSO TURN ON WHEN THE BLINKER TURNS OFF BLINDING INCOMING DRIVERS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND ON EVERY TRIP. THERE HAS BEEN LOTS OF RESEARCH COMPLETED AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF GRAND PRIXS THAT EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING IS A LINK TO YOUTUBE WHERE A DRIVER EXPLAINS HIS ISSUE AND HOW TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL STALK. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/AFANEQ-P6Y8 ATTACHED IS THE EXACT PIECE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'D BE WILLING TO SUBMIT A VIDEO OF THE DANGER THIS CAUSES IF REQUESTED. THANK YOU.

I HAVE CHANGED ALL OF THE BULBS AND STILL THING IS HELPING. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS.

WHEN USING MY TURN SIGNAL (PRIMARILY/ CONSISTENTLY WHEN SIGNALING A RIGHT HAND TURN) MY BRIGHT LIGHTS COME ON AND IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO GET THEM TO TURN OFF. OCCURS OCCASIONALLY WHEN SIGNALING A LEFT HAND TURN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING OR STATIONARY.

2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX.

DURING THE REPAIR, A SWITCH WHICH CONTROLLED THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER THEN RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER, A MONTH LATER. *JB

HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS COME ON ERRATICALLY UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT DRIVER INTERACTION. AS FOR EXAMPLE SOON AS ENGINE STARTS, WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER MAKING A TURN WITH TURN SIGNAL. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ONCOMING DRIVERS BLARE THEIR HORNS OR FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR OTHER DRIVERS. HAVE SPOKEN TO GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME NOT GREAT ENOUGH PERCENTAGE TO WARRANT A RECALL. SEEMS LIKE JUST MORE BS FROM GM NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS FOR THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR. HAVE SPOKEN ONLINE WITH NUMEROUS USERS WITH SAME ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE WITH THE OCCURRENCE FREQUENCY THAT IT HAPPENS. USE TO BE ONLY DURING COLDER MONTHS BUT THIS YEAR HAS BEEN OCCURRING DURING THE WARMER MONTHS AS WELL.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS BEGAN TO RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO APPARENT CORRELATION BETWEEN HOW LONG THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING AND WHEN THE LIGHTS CUT OFF OR HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR THEM TO BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. ONLY HI BEAMS WORKED CONSISTENTLY. AS OF THIS PAST WEEK, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS ARE NO LONGER WORKING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. A LOCAL MECHANIC HAS BEEN ENGAGED TO TROUBLESHOOT POSSIBLE CAUSES. AFTER READING ONLINE COMPLAINTS, HE WILL REVIEW THE FUSE BLOCK, RELAY AND CONNECTIONS TO THE COMPUTER TO DETERMINE WHERE THE BREAKDOWN OCCURS. WE ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH OTHER COMMENTS POSTED ON THIS SITE. IT IS VERY SCARY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS. FORTUNATELY, THE 20-YEAR OLD DRIVER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THAT PARTICULAR CURVE AND HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO HIT THE HIGH BEAMS RIGHT AWAY. I'M NOT CONFIDENT ALL DRIVERS WOULD RECOVER SO QUICKLY UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. IT ONLY TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS TO ENGAGE THE HI BEAMS IF IT'S YOUR VEHICLE AND YOU KNOW THEIR PLACEMENT. HOWEVER, PEOPLE ARE LIKELY TO FUMBLE AND SWITCH FROM AUTO TO MANUAL FOR THE LOW BEAMS FIRST BEFORE ENGAGING THE HI BEAMS. THAT EXTRA TIME COULD COST LIVES. IT IS A SHAME THAT AFTER ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND FIRES, THERE'S NO RECALL YET. *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 WENT TO WORK ON JULY 15, 2014, AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF AT HER GRANDMOTHERS. I WORKED FOR 8 HOURS AND AS I WAS LEAVING I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO TURN OVER. MY DOME LIGHT WAS IN THE OFF POSITION & MY HEADLIGHTS WERE IN THE AUTO POSITION. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY MY CAR WAS DEAD. I CALLED MY FIANC TO COME JUMP MY CAR. WHEN HE ARRIVED AND OPENED THE HOOD HE IMMEDIATELY SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. HE NOTICED THAT MY FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD WAS WARPED AND WHEN HE OPENED IT SMOKE ROLLED OUT AND 1 RELAY SWITCH WAS SO BURNT/MELTED IT WAS BLACK & FLAKEY AND HAD BEGAN TO MELT THE OTHER RELAYS AROUND IT. MY FIANC HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT HAS ALSO DAMAGED THE WIRING HARNESS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM ONLINE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW. SOME VEHICLES HAVE EVEN HAD A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD OF THEIR CARS. THIS IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE WHO DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND TO THOSE WHO ARE AROUND THE VEHICLE IF A FIRE DOES BREAK OUT. *TR

MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE RELAY UNDER THE HOOD AS WELL AS SENSORS. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME WE DRIVE. CLEARLY ITS QUITE A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY HAVE SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE PITCH BLACK OF NIGHT. *TR

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE HAVE ALREADY FIXED THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES WITCH THE SWITCH COST US 210.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE REPLACED AND THAT IS JUST THE PART. I WILL BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY LIGHTS JUST TURN OFF AND NEVER COME BACK ON!!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A WRECK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM SO I BELIEVE SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THE PONTIAC CONTROL SWITCH THAT OPERATES LIGHTS BLINKERS CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

PUSH BUTTON TO TURN ON AC HAD NOT BEEN WORKING FRO 1 WEEK. WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE RELAY FUSE. DROVE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS. WORKED 13 HRS AND WHEN I GOT OFF WORK CAR STARTED WITHOUT PROBLEMS. NOTICED BOTH THE HEAD LIGHTS WHERE NOT WORKING. HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE AND SO DID THE FOG LIGHTS, BUT THE LOW BEAMS WOULDN'T LIGHT UP. I CHECKED THE 'UNDER THE HOOD FUSE BOX'. IT LOOKED FINE FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT ONCE I OPENED THE LID ON THE BOX I SAW THE PROBLEM. THE RELAY FUSE HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED THE FUSE NEXT TO IT CAUSING THEM TO FUSE TOGETHER. THE BOARD UNDER THEM HAD ALSO MELTED, ALONG SOME OF THE FUSE AREAS NEXT TO THEM. ALL OF THE OTHER FUSES HAD STICKY BURNT PLASTIC ON THEM, ALONG WITH THE INSIDE OF THE LID. *TR

1) LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WOULD JUST TURN OFF WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. HIGH BEAM WORKS OK. 2) WHEN TAKING THE STEPS TO USE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN ON. THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY A SHORTED CIRCUIT IN THE STEERING COLUMN OR EXCESSIVE WEAR. THIS INCIDENT APPEAR TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS TURNING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

THE LOW BEAMS JUST STOPPED WORKING BUT ALL OTHER LIGHTS WERE FINE. FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT TO GO HOME. TRIED ALL TYPES OF WAYS SUCH AS SET THE ALARM OFF ON THE CAR WHICH WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES TO RESET THE LIGHTS. THEN THE LOW BEAMS WENT OFF AGAIN. WE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS, THE FUSE FOR THE HEADLAMPS. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS, THEN AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY TURNED OFF. NOTHING WORKED TO GET THE LOW BEAMS BACK ON. FOUND OUT THE FUSE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX AND NOW WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE RELAY BOX AS WELL PLUS IT DAMAGED OTHER FUSES. SO WE HAVE TO REPLACE THOSE TOO. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS NOT ONLY DRIVING THE CAR BUT OTHER CARS AROUND US AT THAT TIME. *TR

HELP!!! I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX, AND FOR APPROXIMATELY A WEEK OR SO NOW, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKED, CAR TURNED OFF, AND KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE LIGHTING CONTROLS, NO RESOLVE. I'VE ADJUSTED THE DELAYED LIGHTING SETTINGS TO OFF (WAS PREVIOUSLY SET AT 15 SECONDS), NOTHING. I DO RECALL READING THAT OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND OFFERED SOME SUGGESTIONS. I'VE TRIED TAKING THE BATTERY OUT OF THE REMOTE - DIDN'T WORK. I'M GOING TO TRY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TOMORROW TO SEE IF THAT WILL RESET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SOMEHOW. RIGHT NOW IT'S ABOUT 2AM AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW....MY LIGHTS ARE ON! I'M OVER IT!!!! I'M GOING TO BED!!! YOU WOULD THINK THAT PONTIAC WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THESE PROBLEMS AND OFFER TO REPAIR AT NO COST, BUT THAT WOULD BE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH HUH??? I WILL START MAKING SOME PHONE CALLS AND KICKING DIRT TOMORROW TO TRY AND GET THIS MATTER HANDLED, AND I DON'T PLAN ON HAVING TO PAY FOR THE INCONVENIENCES EITHER. WISH ME LUCK! *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAMS ON MY CAR SUDDENLY FAILED, AND I COULD NOT GET THEM TO GO BACK ON. FORTUNATELY, THE HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH MY DAY RUNNING LIGHTS WHICH ARE TIED IN WITH THE LOW BEAMS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. I THEREFORE DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE ISSUE TO DETERMINE IF THERE WERE OTHERS WHO SHARED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS I OWNED. LO & BEHOLD, THERE WERE NOT A FEW WHO ALSO EXPERIENCED LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. I ALSO NOTED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT SPECIFIC TO JUST 2007 MODEL YEAR PONTIAC GRAND PRIXS, BUT ALSO OTHER MODEL YEAR GRAND PRIXS, AND EVEN SOME BUICK MODELS). SOME POSTERS HAD SUGGESTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH A RELAY, GM PART # 15016745, AND ONCE THEY REPLACED THIS PART, THEY NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM REOCCUR. SINCE I WAS HESITANT TO PURCHASE A PART OF WHICH I HAD NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD WORK, I WENT TO THE WEB SITE JUSTANSWERS.COM, AND PAID A GM EXPERT $35 IN HOPES THAT HE COULD HE COULD FIND RESOLUTION. HE INDICATED THAT THE LOW BEAM FAILURE WITH MY CAR WAS COMMON, AND HE, TOO, RECOMMENDED GM PART # 15016745, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE UNDER-HOOD FUSE BLOCK. I PURCHASED THE RELAY WHICH I FOUND ON GMPARTS.COM, AND RECEIVED IT YESTERDAY. I HAVE, YET, TO INSTALL IT, AND I'M HOPING THAT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I AM WRITING YOU SO THAT YOU MIGHT INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, AND ABATE ANY POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS IF THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANY DEATHS RESULTING FROM THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

NEXT MORNING CHANGES BOTH BULBS CHECKED FUSES. NOTHING. WENT ON LINE TO FIND ANY SUGGESTIONS AND TO MY SURPRISE I SEE THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM. MANY FOLKS HAVE TRIED MANY DFFERENT FIXES BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND ONE LINK THAT GAVE A SOLUTION. I DID SEE SEVERAL BLOGS THAT STATED THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE JUST PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. I HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH MY KEYLESS I HAVE TO HIT IT SEVERAL TIMES TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DOORS. I HAVE A VERY LIMIT INCOME AND CANNOT GO AROUND HAVING THINGS REPLACED WITH NO FIX. THIS IS MY SECOND GRAND PRIX , MY FIRST I HAD NO PROBLEMS EVER. I LOVED BOTH CARS AS THEY ARE SAFE AND ALWAYS DEPENDABLE. I DO HAVE TO SAY THIS ISSUE NOW HAS ME VERY UPSET AS THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. I NEED SOME SORT OF ASSISTANCE ON THIS. AS IT IS SUCH A FREQUENT ISSUE PONTIAC SHOULD BE LOOKING INOT A RESOLUTION OR LEAST OFFER SOME ASSITANCE SO PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND ALOT OF MONEY GUESSING ON WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND NOT HAVE A FIX.

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. NO SPECIFIC EVENT LEADING TO HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAM FAILURE. I WAS HOWEVER UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS DARK AND NOW CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GO ANYWHERE EXCEPT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCE. VEHICLE LOW BEAMS WILL NOT TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY. ALL BULBS AND FUSES ARE GOOD. HEADLIGHTS USED TO WORK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED INTO THE ON POSITION, BUT NOW ONLY ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING DASH,HIGH BEAMS, AND PARKING LAMPS. CURRENTLY I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK. I AM ALSO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN FEAR OF POOR WEATHER. IT IS SUMMER CURRENTLY AND NOW FEAR RAIN AND IN THE FUTURE MONTHS SNOWSTORMS WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. ALSO, WITH A SEASON CHANGE ALWAYS IMPENDING IT WILL BE DARKER SOONER AND LONGER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! UPON RESEARCH OF THIS MALFUNCTION I SEE THAT IT IS QUITE COMMON AND THAT THE MALFUNCTION CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I AM UNABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL. I FEEL UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILD IN THE CAR. THIS IS A NEW PURCHASE TO ME AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 45 DAYS. I HAVE LITERALLY ONLY DRIVEN IT 215 MILES SINCE OWNING IT. LOW BEAMS AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON WITH IGNITION IN "ON" POSITION UP UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO. I NOW CANNOT EVEN TURN THEM ON MANUALLY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT, HOWEVER, DUE TO POSSIBLE COST NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE "SWITCH". BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH CARS I AM NOT AWARE WHAT THIS IS OR WHAT IT ENTAILS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE ON THE ROAD UNLESS IT IS A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY WITH NO DARKNESS OR PRECIPITATION IN SIGHT.
