2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD STOP ILLUMINATING ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN OPERATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT, THE CONTACT WOULD TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. VARIOUS FUSES AND THE WIRING HARNESS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,894. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

LOW BEAMS WORK INTERMITENTLY. HIGH BEAM WORK FINE BUT UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO UNPREDICTABILITY OF LOW BEAMS. *TT

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. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

LOW BEAM LIGHTS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. I GOT BOTH CHANGED EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T NEED TO AND HAD THE GUY AT O'REILLY'S CHECK THE FUSES AND NOTHING HE COULD SEE WAS WRONG. HE RECOMMENDED CHECKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOT. SURPRISINGLY BECAUSE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE ON THIS SITE TO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T DRIVE IN THE DARK WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ALL THE TIME, WHAT TO DO?!? *TR

2007 GRAND PRIX GXP CAR KEPT TRIGGERING ENGINE LIGHT AND TURNED OUT TO BE CODES P0700 AND P0843. 135K TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT BECAUSE REVERSE HAD GONE. NOW @ 193K TRANS IS BACK TO THE CODES AND NOW SLIPPING. I'VE HAD MY 99 GRAND PRIX GTP FOR 8 YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO DUMP A TRANS INTO IT OR MOTOR INTO IT AND ITS AT 176K MILES RUNNING HARD. THE TRANS FOR THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REDONE. *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY LIGHTS GO OFF OUTSIDE MY CAR. IT HAPPEN OFTEN THEN IT GETS BETTER FOR A WHILE THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN I HAVE ASK OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME CAR AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. LOW BEAM LAMPS/CONNECTIONS ARE FINE. CAN'T SEEM TO INITIATE THE PROBLEM IN THE REPAIR SHOP BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY AT SOME OF THE WORSE POSSIBLE TIMES. DARK NIGHTS, CURVY, NARROW ROADS. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS WITHOUT COMPLETE REBUILD OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR SEVERAL $$$$. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX! *TR
