2007 Pontiac Grand Prix

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE HAVE ALREADY FIXED THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES WITCH THE SWITCH COST US 210.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE REPLACED AND THAT IS JUST THE PART. I WILL BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY LIGHTS JUST TURN OFF AND NEVER COME BACK ON!!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A WRECK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM SO I BELIEVE SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THE PONTIAC CONTROL SWITCH THAT OPERATES LIGHTS BLINKERS CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

PUSH BUTTON TO TURN ON AC HAD NOT BEEN WORKING FRO 1 WEEK. WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE RELAY FUSE. DROVE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS. WORKED 13 HRS AND WHEN I GOT OFF WORK CAR STARTED WITHOUT PROBLEMS. NOTICED BOTH THE HEAD LIGHTS WHERE NOT WORKING. HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE AND SO DID THE FOG LIGHTS, BUT THE LOW BEAMS WOULDN'T LIGHT UP. I CHECKED THE 'UNDER THE HOOD FUSE BOX'. IT LOOKED FINE FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT ONCE I OPENED THE LID ON THE BOX I SAW THE PROBLEM. THE RELAY FUSE HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED THE FUSE NEXT TO IT CAUSING THEM TO FUSE TOGETHER. THE BOARD UNDER THEM HAD ALSO MELTED, ALONG SOME OF THE FUSE AREAS NEXT TO THEM. ALL OF THE OTHER FUSES HAD STICKY BURNT PLASTIC ON THEM, ALONG WITH THE INSIDE OF THE LID. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM HOUSTON AIRPORT. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND WE WE'RE UNABLE TO GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE ABLE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS BUT THE LOW BEAMS DID NOT WORK AFTER 2 MINUTES THEY CAME BACK ON BY THERE SELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE PAST ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

I PURCHASE VEHICLE IN 02/19/2014 AND HAD PROBLEMS FROM WATER PUMP CAR WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE AND IT GET STUCK WHEN YOU PLACE IT IN DRIVE IT PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL LIKE ITS IN PARK. WHEN I'M SITTING ON A SLIGHT HILL IT GOES IN REVERSE AND SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GOES UP AND I HAVEN'T DROVE THE CAR FOR A GOOD 15 MIN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR 4 TIMES SINCE I'VE PURCHASE IT. I HEAR A RATTLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I'VE HAD A TRANSMISSION INSTALL, WATER PUMP REAR TRAILER ARMS.TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP 4TH TIME AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG I PURCHASE A WARRANTY AND I STILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FEES. I HEAR RATTLING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I REACH OUT TO THE RECALL WEBSITE FOR PONTIAC AND ENTER VIN NUMBER JUST TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THE GAS TANK WHEN I SCREW THE CAP ITS NOT TIGHTENING SECURELY BUT I ALSO SAW THAT WAS A RECALL ON THAT AS WELL. I FEEL LIKE I PURCHASE A PIECE OF JUNK WHEN I FEEL LIKE I'M ON THE ROAD MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. *TR

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY, THEN SHIFTED EXTREMELY HARD INTO GEAR. THIS IS A GRAND PRIX GXP MODEL AND AS I HAVE RESEARCHED, THIS TRANSMISSION FAILS AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. IT IS SUPPOSEDLY A HEAVY DUTY MODEL OF THE TRANSAXLES USED IN THE V6 MODEL, HOWEVER IT RUNS VERY HOT ( FACTORY EXTERNAL COOLER SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED) AND WEARS OUT VERY EARLY. IT HAS FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY NUMEROUS TIMES, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR THE VEHICLE AND DRIVER. *TR

1) LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WOULD JUST TURN OFF WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. HIGH BEAM WORKS OK. 2) WHEN TAKING THE STEPS TO USE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN ON. THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY A SHORTED CIRCUIT IN THE STEERING COLUMN OR EXCESSIVE WEAR. THIS INCIDENT APPEAR TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS TURNING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

ON 12/12/13, CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY IN 1ST GEAR WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ROUGHLY THROUGH REMAINING GEARS. TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMP WAS 220+ DEGREES. TOOK CAR TO GM DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD TCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND REFILL. DID AS RECOMMENDED. ON 2/4/14, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND CAR WOULDN'T MOVE IN ANY GEAR. TRANS FLUID TEMP WAS FINE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER WARNINGS. CALLED ONSTAR, HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME GM DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION PAN WAS FILLED WITH METAL FLAKES. THERE WERE NO METAL FLAKES AS OF 12/12/13, AND NO ISSUES BETWEEN THOSE DATES. BOUGHT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND PICKED UP CAR 3/12/14. FILING MY COMPLAINT DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION.
