2007 Pontiac Grand Prix

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.

Risk. Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key 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.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

Defect. DORMAN IS RECALLING 979 STEERING KNUCKLES, DORMAN P/NOS. 697-902 AND 697-903, SOLD UNDER DORMAN'S "OE SOLUTIONS<SUP>TM</SUP>" BRAND NAME, AND NAPA P/NOS. 7-8502 AND 7-8503 WHICH WERE SOLD FOR REPLACEMENT USE ON THE VARIOUS VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. A POTENTIAL MATERIAL OR DESIGN DEFECT COULD RESULT IN THE STEERING KNUCKLE BREAKING IN THE HUB AREA.

Risk. A BROKEN STEERING KNUCKLE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy. DORMAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STEERING KNUCKLES FREE OF CHARGE AND REIMBURSE THE REPAIR FACILITY OR OWNER FOR LABOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 23, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DORMAN'S TOLL-FREE HOTLINE AT 1-800-523-2492 AND PRESS 5.

Defect. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FUEL TANK IS MISSING THE ADHESIVE LAYER THAT BONDS THE BARRIER LAYER TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THE FUEL TANK.

Risk. WITH THIS CONDITION, FUEL AND/OR FUEL VAPORS COULD SEEP OUT BETWEEN THE LAYERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 13, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, there was a sudden loss of power steering functionality. The contact coasted to a stop and restarted the vehicle with the ignition key. The contact stated that after restarting the vehicle, the vehicle regained power steering functionality. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred at various speeds. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V400000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

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.

On March 27th, 2023, the car was parked and off for only approximately 5 minutes when the engine caught fire. The engine and vehicle is a complete loss. A claim has been filed with Farm Bureau insurance. There were no engine warning lights, smells, or smoke during or after driving, until the 5 minutes passed when the car was turned off. I did not locate any engine recalls due to fire for a 2007 Grand Prix. I noticed earlier models recalled due to potential fire.

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.

Steering wheel refusing to lock. therefore safety issue as car locks will not lock as a result. no messages or warning lights or behaviors. this happened once a year ago. and was able to lock steering by moving wheel and moving key in ignition.

The TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ITS GOING TO CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WHILE IN DRIVE LEAVING A STOP LIGHT A CAR NEARLY SLAMMED INTO ME FROM BEHIND WHEN LIGHT CHANGED CAR HAD NO POWER TO GO. ON HIGHWAY IT DOES A SUDDEN HARD JERK WITH LOSS OF POWER SHIFTING INTO NXT GEAR.

I HAVE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHERS. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START CAR SOMETIMES BY PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I LEFT THE CAR WITH OUR SON TO SEE IF HE COULD FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY WIFE QUIT DRIVING THE CAR AFTER BEING STRANDED A FEW TIMES. WHEN USING BLINKERS THE HIGH BEAM WOULD COME ON. IT HAS A ROARING SOUND LIKE A WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT.THE KEY FOB DOESN'T WORK. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE BCM BODY CONTROL MODULE COULD BE CAUSING PROBLEMS. HAD ESTIMATE OF $500 TO REPLACE AND PROGRAM NEW BCM.. WE HAVE TOWED CAR HOME AFTER GOING TO STORE. I USED TO DRIVE OTR SO WE GOT A SECOND VEHICLE TO DRIVE. AFTER READING OTHER POSTS ON THIS CAR 4/4/2021 I DON'T THINK I WANT TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE READ GM TECHS CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEMS.. ONCE THE VACUUM LINE TO BRAKE BOOSTER CAME OFF WHEN MY WIFE WAS GOING DOWN HILL. I PUT THE LINE BACK ON, IT HASN'T DONE THAT AGAIN. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF IT BREAKING DOWN. AND SHOPS NOT BEING ABLE TO TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.. I TIED A CABLE ON TRUNK RELEASE SO I CAN OPEN TRUNK. . WE DID LOVE THE CAR WHEN IT WAS RUNNING. HAS 193,000K AT THIS TIME. HAS STALLED/QUIT ON CITY STREETS. AND WE QUIT DRIVING IT ON HIGHWAY.

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.

PONTIAC WONT START, CHANGED STARTER, SAW RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH. RACK & PINION LEAK, COVER GASKET LEAK, SAW RECALL. AIR BAG CODE CAME UP.

MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE BEGINNING TO FAIL. MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON AND I BELIEVE IT BE THE FAILURE OF THE HOOD LAMP DRIVER MODULE. AFTER REPLACING ALL BULBS AND CHECKING ALL FUSES. I HAVE CONCLUDED IT IS THIS RELAY THAT IS CAUSING MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO FAIL. THERE IS DOCUMENTATION THAT THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE BUT MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING UP ON THE RECALL LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH THE HELP OF A BYSTANDER. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT, PLACE THE GEAR INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. *BF*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN VEERED OFF THE ROAD, CRASHED INTO A PINE TREE, AND FLIPPED OVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT SNAPPED AS THE VEHICLE FLIPPED. THE CONTACT AND OTHER DRIVER WERE BOTH EVALUATED AT THE SCENE. THE CONTACT LATER SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR A BROKEN ARM. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND THEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESTROYED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH OR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 256,000.

MY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT CAME ON. USED A SNAP ON $5000 SCANNER. CODES SAY GAS PEDAL SENSOR. CHANGED THAT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CLEANED THROTTLE CASE. CAR STALLS AND I HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO 20 MILES AN HOUR. THERE ARE SO MANY BLOGS ON THIS PROBLEM ITS UNBELIEVABLE. I JUST HAD THE RECALLS FIXED ON THE IGNITION AND HEAD LIGHTS. NOW THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. IM SINGLE, HOMELESS, AND UNEMPLOYED. THIS IS THE LAST THING I NEED RIGHT NOW.

MOUNTING OF POWER STEERING RACK SUDDENLY BROKE ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL ALLOWING IT TO TURN INDEPENDENTLY FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVEING ON FREEWAY I COULD OF CRASHED AND LOST CONTROL OF CAR. WE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID NO RECALL , WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS ENTERING A FREEWAY RAMP, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL BEFORE THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 206,000.

WHEN I START MY CAR, IT WILL STALL OUT, NOT TURN OVER OR IT WILL IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF. I MEAN SHUT THE WHOLE CAR DOWN SO NOTHING ELECTRICAL CAN WORK AT WHICH POINT MY KEY WILL BE STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I CANNOT GET IT OUT. I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR NORMALLY, HOWEVER THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES ALONG WITH THE BODY OF MY CAR WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE PARKED. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THROUGH A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION, I LOST CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AND THE WHEEL WAS STUCK AT FIRST AND THEN SWUNG ALL THE WAY BACK WHICH SPUN MY CAR AROUND. THIS CAR HAS HAD 1 OWNER BEFORE ME AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE VIBRATING AND WAS TOLD THAT A CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING AND THAT I NEEDED A TUNE UP. I SPENT $587 ON THESE REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE WAS AT 98,890 MILES. IT IS MAY 2019 ABOUT 9 MONTHS LATER MY VEHICLE IS AT 108,630 MILES AND I AM HAVING THE SAME AND ADDITIONAL ISSUES NOT EVEN 10,000 MILES MORE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE MECHANIC FROM MY CYLINDER REPAIRS THAT I HAVE REQUESTED TO BE FAXED OVER TO ME.

AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON. HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR CORRECTION AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX.

RANDOM MISFIRE CODE WON'T GO AWAY SINCE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS THEN UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CAR COMPUTER & IGNITION COIL MODULE, SPARK PLUGS AND THE CODE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY GOOD ENOUGH TO PASS EMISSIONS. THEY ALSO PERFORMED THE KEY RECALL THE CODE KEEPS COMING & NO MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ME WHY BUT THEY KEEP TAKING MY MONEY FOR A TEMPORARY FIX.THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE REPLACED 5 SENSORS, THE IGNITION COIL MODULE TWICE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ALL SIX FUEL INJECTORS, THE FUEL PUMP AND HAD 3 MAJOR TUNE UPS. TO DATE THE ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS OFF TEMPORARILY AND ALWAYS RETURNS WITH THE SAME TWO CODES P0300 & P0420. IT FLASHES OCCASIONALLY BUT STAYS STEADY MOST DAYS.NO WORK DONE IS TURNING THE ENGINE LIGHT OFF FOR GOOD.

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.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH "STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM". UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I GOT BODY CODES B3055 AND B2960. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND ONLINE THIS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE DUE TO THE PK3 SENSOR IN THE IGNITION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN THE BATTERY HAD DIED. I JUMPED STARTED THE CAR AS PER THE MANUAL INSTRUCTS, DROVE INTO TOWN "1 MILE FROM HOME" LEFT IT RUNNING THE 20 MIN I WAS THERE COME HOME AND PARKED IT. NEXT MORNING IT WOULDN'T START AND THE INFO SCREEN SAID STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THE FT MODE. EVERYTHING OINT TO A FAULTY IGNITION AND PK3 SENSOR IN IGNITION SWITCH NOT ALLOWING IT TO READ THE ECM.

IN MAY 2017 MY LOW BEAMS DECIDED TO TURN ON AND OFF AND NOW THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS THEY HAVE NEVER FULLY TURNED ON AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT NOW MY LICENSE PLATE TAG LIGHT IS NOW LONGER WORKING. 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.

WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TEMP IS UNDER 40 DEGREES. I RANDOMLY GET ERROR WITH TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING AND KEEPING SPEED. WHICH HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS TO GET TO A SAFE SPOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO PULL OFF, WHEN MY SPEED SUDDENLY CHANGES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS DURING THE COLD MONTHS AND I HAVE GOT ITEMS CLEANED AND SENSORS CHANGED TO NO END.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS HARD TO CRANK HAD TO WIGGLE IT A FEW TIMES BUT THEY FIX THE RECALL AND MY BRAKES SYSTEM IS NOT RIGHT EVERY TIME I SWITCH BRAKE PADS OUT IT STILL DOESNT DO ANY GOOD AND DO TO THE BRAKES I HAD A FENDER BENDER BUT I FIX IT OUT OF POCKET BRAKES STILL GO TO FLOOR AND MY LIGHTS WENT OUT LIKE IT A SHORTAGE SO I GOT THEM RIG SO THAT THEY WILL WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HANSONS CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (14830 ND-17, GRAFTON, ND 58237, PHONE NUMBER: (701) 922-0428), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED.

2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTROL SWITCH RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT STOPPED WORKING DURING THE LAST OF APRIL 2016. 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.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. "STARTING DISABLED DUE TO ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" MESSAGE SHOWS, THEN REDUCED POWER MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE GOING FULL SPEED (INTERSTATE) STOPPED AT REDLIGHT, REDUCED SPEED MAKING A TURN, OR IN PARK IDLING. FIRST DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG THAT THEY COULD FIND. SECOND SAID TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND BRAKE SWITCH. BOTH OF THESE WERE REPLACED AND IT STILL WILL STOP. CALLED SUPPORT, AND ALL THEY WOULD SAY IS TO TAKE IT FOR DIAGNOSTICS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN DONE. TWICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT AND AN ENGINE LOSING POWER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

MY TRANSMISSION/ TRANSAXLE HAS BEEN REBUILT 3 TIMES. WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE BASE MODEL 4T65E TRANSAXLE DOESN'T REALLY DIFFER IN THE HARD PARTS FOR THE 4T65E-HD THATS IN MY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP. BAD JERKING AND SLIPPING FROM TAKE OFF OR ACCELERATING IS MY PROBLEM. JUST THIS YEAR MY CAR COULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ANYONE I TALK TO WHO HAS THE SAME MOTOR COMBINATION OF THE LS4 MOTOR WITH THE 4T65E-HD TRANAXLE HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME SIMILAR ISSUES. WETHER IT BE THE IMPALA SS 2006-2009, MONTE CARLO SS 2006-2007, BUICK LACROSSE SUPER 2008-2009, OR THE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP 2005-2008. THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE COMBINATION WITH THE POWER IN THE 303 HP MOTOR IS TOO MUCH FOR THE 4T65E-HP TRANSMISSION. I'VE FOUND A WEBSITE THAT CLAIMS THEY HAVE SOLVED THE FLAWS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE WEBSITE EXPLAINS IN DETAIL WHAT PARTS THEY USE AND HOW IT CAN SUPPORT THE POWER OF THE LS4 MOTOR. PERSONALLY I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A RECALL CLOSE TO A DECADE AGO.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT PASSENGER PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF THE PASSENGER BOUNCES AROUND ON THE SEAT THE LIGHT MAY GO OFF AND IT MAY COME ON RANDOMLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE AIR BAG LIGHT MAY INDICATES THE AIR BAG IS OFF AT ANY TIME IT FEELS LIKE IT. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON FOR THE LIGHT GOING OFF OR ON. IF THE AIR BAG IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE THEN THIS TYPE OF A PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP. THANK YOU
