2007 Pontiac Grand Prix

MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE BEGINNING TO FAIL. MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON AND I BELIEVE IT BE THE FAILURE OF THE HOOD LAMP DRIVER MODULE. AFTER REPLACING ALL BULBS AND CHECKING ALL FUSES. I HAVE CONCLUDED IT IS THIS RELAY THAT IS CAUSING MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO FAIL. THERE IS DOCUMENTATION THAT THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE BUT MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING UP ON THE RECALL LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH THE HELP OF A BYSTANDER. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT, PLACE THE GEAR INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. *BF*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN VEERED OFF THE ROAD, CRASHED INTO A PINE TREE, AND FLIPPED OVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT SNAPPED AS THE VEHICLE FLIPPED. THE CONTACT AND OTHER DRIVER WERE BOTH EVALUATED AT THE SCENE. THE CONTACT LATER SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR A BROKEN ARM. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND THEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESTROYED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH OR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 256,000.

MY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT CAME ON. USED A SNAP ON $5000 SCANNER. CODES SAY GAS PEDAL SENSOR. CHANGED THAT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CLEANED THROTTLE CASE. CAR STALLS AND I HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO 20 MILES AN HOUR. THERE ARE SO MANY BLOGS ON THIS PROBLEM ITS UNBELIEVABLE. I JUST HAD THE RECALLS FIXED ON THE IGNITION AND HEAD LIGHTS. NOW THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. IM SINGLE, HOMELESS, AND UNEMPLOYED. THIS IS THE LAST THING I NEED RIGHT NOW.

MOUNTING OF POWER STEERING RACK SUDDENLY BROKE ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL ALLOWING IT TO TURN INDEPENDENTLY FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVEING ON FREEWAY I COULD OF CRASHED AND LOST CONTROL OF CAR. WE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID NO RECALL , WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS ENTERING A FREEWAY RAMP, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL BEFORE THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 206,000.

WHEN I START MY CAR, IT WILL STALL OUT, NOT TURN OVER OR IT WILL IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF. I MEAN SHUT THE WHOLE CAR DOWN SO NOTHING ELECTRICAL CAN WORK AT WHICH POINT MY KEY WILL BE STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I CANNOT GET IT OUT. I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR NORMALLY, HOWEVER THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES ALONG WITH THE BODY OF MY CAR WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE PARKED. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THROUGH A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION, I LOST CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AND THE WHEEL WAS STUCK AT FIRST AND THEN SWUNG ALL THE WAY BACK WHICH SPUN MY CAR AROUND. THIS CAR HAS HAD 1 OWNER BEFORE ME AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE VIBRATING AND WAS TOLD THAT A CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING AND THAT I NEEDED A TUNE UP. I SPENT $587 ON THESE REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE WAS AT 98,890 MILES. IT IS MAY 2019 ABOUT 9 MONTHS LATER MY VEHICLE IS AT 108,630 MILES AND I AM HAVING THE SAME AND ADDITIONAL ISSUES NOT EVEN 10,000 MILES MORE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE MECHANIC FROM MY CYLINDER REPAIRS THAT I HAVE REQUESTED TO BE FAXED OVER TO ME.

RANDOM MISFIRE CODE WON'T GO AWAY SINCE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS THEN UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CAR COMPUTER & IGNITION COIL MODULE, SPARK PLUGS AND THE CODE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY GOOD ENOUGH TO PASS EMISSIONS. THEY ALSO PERFORMED THE KEY RECALL THE CODE KEEPS COMING & NO MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ME WHY BUT THEY KEEP TAKING MY MONEY FOR A TEMPORARY FIX.THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE REPLACED 5 SENSORS, THE IGNITION COIL MODULE TWICE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ALL SIX FUEL INJECTORS, THE FUEL PUMP AND HAD 3 MAJOR TUNE UPS. TO DATE THE ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS OFF TEMPORARILY AND ALWAYS RETURNS WITH THE SAME TWO CODES P0300 & P0420. IT FLASHES OCCASIONALLY BUT STAYS STEADY MOST DAYS.NO WORK DONE IS TURNING THE ENGINE LIGHT OFF FOR GOOD.

THE TURN SIGNAL STALK THAT IS ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY THE BRIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE RANDOMLY BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN MAKING A TURN AND USING THE TURN SIGNAL THE BRIGHTS WILL ALSO TURN ON WHEN THE BLINKER TURNS OFF BLINDING INCOMING DRIVERS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND ON EVERY TRIP. THERE HAS BEEN LOTS OF RESEARCH COMPLETED AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF GRAND PRIXS THAT EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING IS A LINK TO YOUTUBE WHERE A DRIVER EXPLAINS HIS ISSUE AND HOW TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL STALK. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/AFANEQ-P6Y8 ATTACHED IS THE EXACT PIECE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'D BE WILLING TO SUBMIT A VIDEO OF THE DANGER THIS CAUSES IF REQUESTED. THANK YOU.
