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.
