CAR TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. IT CLUNKS AND LURCHES FORWARD UNSAFELY. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND FLUIDS CHANGED. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. DOES NOT MATTER IF HOT OR COLD. DOES IT 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ON. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT OFF. I TURNED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID "HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED". I TRIED TO TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON BUT MY HIGH BEAMS WERE THE ONLY ONES OPERABLE. THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK FOR 4 HOURS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN IT USED TO BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT MY LIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING, THE HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK HOWEVER THE LOW BEAMS WILL JUST STOP WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. ALSO AFTER I TURN AND MY BLINKER TURNS OFF THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS TURN ON. IS THERE NOT A RECALL OR SOME SORT OF FIX FOR THE LIGHTS?!! *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

2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 96,000 MILES (AND 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY). STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AND HEARD A "CLUNK" AND HAD NO FORWARD GEARS IN AUTOMATIC. DID HAVE TAPSHIFT GEARS AND REVERSE, THOUGH FORWARD GEARS SLIPPED. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER (WE WERE OUT OF TOWN) AND TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT A COST OF $3600. PLUS CAR RENTAL AND HOTEL TO DRIVE HOME AND RETURN TO PICK UP THE CAR WHEN IT WAS REPAIRED. SECOND GM TRANSMISSION FAILURE I'VE EXPERIENCE IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS WITH THE PREVIOUS ONE ON A CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. *JS

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN, LIKE SOMEONE UNPLUGGED THE ENGINE. THIS WAS THE MOST HORRIFIC MOMENT IN MY LIFE, SEMI TRUCKS ZOOMING PAST ME. FINALLY MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, CAR WAS TOWED HOME AND THE TOW TRUCK GUY PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN THIS TIME I WAS ONLY DOING 35 MPH. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 30 MIN AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, ON MY HOME FROM WORK IT DID IT AGIN. THE FOLLOWING WEEK IT DID IT AGIAN, TOOK THE CAR TO A "GM" CERITIFIED MECHANIC BUT OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO THE GM MECHANIC, STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, PICKED IT UP A WEEK LATER SAME ISSUE. TO SUM IT UP I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION MODULE AND THE CRANK SENSOR SHAFT AND STILL CAN NOT LOCATE TH PROBLEM. THE CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND NOW IT'S JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WON'T START AT ALL. GM REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SITUATION BRFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT, THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE. *TR
