THE LOW BEAMS ON OUR 2006 GRAND PRIX GO OUT WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. WE DO HAVE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS MOVING WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT WILL COME BACK ON COULD BE HOURS OR DAY BEFORE THEY START WORKING AGAIN. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT IS WORKING AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

DAVE CROSS MOTORS WOULD NOT ASSIST SAID UNTIL LIGHTS FAILED. MCARTHY VERY HELPFUL BUT STILL HAVE NOT GOT PARTS IN SINCE MAY 26TH- LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. WHY SEND RECALL WARNING OF DANGER IF NOBODY WANTS TO FIX IT OR UNABLE TO GET PARTS IN.

STEERING: CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING TRANSMISSION HAS A LIGHT SLIP INTO 1ST AND SOMETIMES HARD SHIFT INTO 2ND HAD THIS LOOKED AT IN 2013 WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL SINCE MORE PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2006PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP, PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THEM BEING REPLACED AFTER THE BURNED OUT. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR VERY MUCH AT ALL. I ONLY HAVE 53000 MILES ON IT. JUST IN THE LAST TWO YEARS I NEVER REALLY KNOW ABOUT MY HEAD LIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT. THE LOW BEAMS WOULD STOP WORKING FOR PERIODS OF TIME AND I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE MUCH AT NIGHT, THEN JUST RECENTLY THEY STARTED ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME, BUT DURING THE DAYTIME THE RUNNING LIGHTS WORKED AND THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE THE HDM RELAY, I REPLACED IT AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK AND NOW MONEY IS STARTING TO GET WASTED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED TO FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD OR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL THAT CONSUMERS WERE TRYING TO GET GM IT IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL NUMBER I WAS PROVIDED WAS RECALL # IS 14291. I SEARCHED FOR THIS NUMBER AND ANY RECALLS THAT MIGHT PERTAIN TO THIS AND COULDN'T FIND RECALLS SINCE THE IGNITION SWITCH INVOLVING THE KEY. IS THERE ANYTHING BEING DONE OR INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM? MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OFF FOR 2 YEARS AND I'M TRYING SEE IF SOMEONE COULD PINPOINT THE PROBLEM.
