I HAVE REPLACED FUSES AND EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO DO WITH HEADLIGHTS AND THEY STILL CONTINUE TO FAIL. I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY WILL NOT MESS WITH IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TO MANY WIRING HARNESSES.

R READING SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN OR IF I HAVE ENOUGH CHARACTERS TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT SUPERCHARGED. MY RECENT ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR KEEPS CUTTING OUT AND STALLING.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND SPENT $110 ON A DIAGNOSTIC AFTER 4 OTHER LOCAL MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. THE RESULT FROM THE DEALER'S DIAGNOSTIC WAS: P0300 MULTIPLE MISFIRES; NEEDS 3 COILS AND IGNITION MODULE REPLACED $1090 INSTALLED; ALSO HAS A BEARING GOING OUT IN THE SUPER CHARGER AND THERE IS A HARSH 1-2 SHIFT. I JUST SPENT ABOUT $1000 GETTING FUEL PUMP, BACK WHEEL BEARINGS, RIGHT BRAKE HOSE, AND VALVE COVER GASKETS REPLACED. RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE TIGHTENED ALTHOUGH IT WAS REPLACED TWICE LAST YEAR (BAD PART THE FIRST TIME). I HAVE HAD POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED, WATER PUMP REPLACED, AIR INTAKE TUBE/VALVE REPLACED. PAID DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE NO CODES OR INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ON AND 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS COULDN'T PINPOINT ISSUE. DEALER STATED THEY HAVE UP-TO-DATE EQUIPMENT AND CODE P0300 CAME UP. CAR INTERMITTENTLY HESITATES TO START. CAR ACTS HESITANT AFTER CAR STARTS AFTER HESITATING TO START. INTERIOR SEATS AND DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED. ABS/TRACTION SEEMS TO BE FAILING, CAR STILL MOVES AFTER APPLYING FOOT ON BREAK...SLIDES A LITTLE, NO IMMEDIATE STOP, EVEN AFTER I HAVE HAD COMPLETE BRAKE WORK PERFORMED (WHEEL BEARINGS, PADS, ROTORS, HUBS, ETC.). SUPERCHARGE SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND ELBOW TUBE OFF THE MOTOR BLOCK (THINK THAT IS CORRECT, IT'S AN L-SHAPED SMALL TUBE). A LOT OF REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHLY WHEN NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE MADE. HATE TO GET RID OF THE CAR WITH ALL THE MONEY AND CARE THAT HAS BEEN PLACED INTO THE CAR. I AM NOT IN A POSTION TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE BUT WITH THE MILES I DON'T WANT TO PUT EXTENSIVE $. GM WON'T ASSIST.

THIS IS AN ISSUE IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT US FROM BEHIND AND YET NO ONE WAS THERE. STARTED DRIVING AND THE NEXT THING WE KNOW THE CAR SPEEDOMETER JUST SLOWS DOWN TO 30 MPH. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIGH SPEED LANE BEFORE AN 18 WHEELER SMASHING INTO THE REAREND AND WOULD HAVE KILLED MY TWO KIDS!! THIS IS BULL CRAP PONTIAC GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! THIS HAPPENED WITH A GM ENVOY THAT I PURCHASED. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER TO PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND STEERING FOR GM NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS THIS ISSUE, THE WORST IS THEY KNOW ABOUT AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SOME PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO JUST CRAP OUT AND CONTINUE TO CRAP OUT FOR A KNOWN ISSUE!

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS STARTING FLICKERING ON AND OFF ALREADY CHANGE OUT REALLY 35 APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO FOR SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR BEGAN TO EMIT WHITE SMOKE AND AN ODOR OF BURNING ANTIFREEZE. I BEGAN TO LOSE POWER SO I PULLED OVER. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND THEY REPLACE MY INTAKE MANIFOLDS GASKETS, WHICH HAD COMPLETELY BEEN EATEN AWAY. *TR

WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL, THE VEHICLE'S HIGH BEAMS MAY TURN ON WITHOUT INTENT. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BLIND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, AND TURNING. COLD WEATHER AMPLIFIES THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS DEMONSTRATED IN THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=36SCDPLZ3DK

ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, MY CAR HESITATED AFTER STOPPING AT AN RED LIGHT. UPON TAKE OFF WHILE OTHER CARS ARE BEHIND ME IF FEELS LIKE MY CAR GEARS ARE STUCK . I INITIALLY THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS THE WEATHER OR MAYBE MY BRAKES . NO, NOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THE WEATHER IS NOT ALWAYS A CULPRIT, I EVEN HAVE NEW TIRES . THE PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE BUCKLE UP IN THE BACK SEAT AND YOUR CAR HESITATE, TRANSMISSION SLIPPING NOT CHANGING GEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED FAR TO MANY TIMES FOR MY COMFORT AND SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ALSO BEEN TIMES WHEN THE FAN STOP DURING THIS TIME. BOTH IN THE SUMMER WITH THE AIR BLOWING AND JUST TODAY (11/12/14), WITH THE HEAT BLOWING EVERYTHING STOPPED INTERMITTENTLY, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR!

A MONTH OR SO BEFORE ENGINE STARTED SHUTTING OFF MY AIRBAG LIGHT AN TONE WAS APPEARING AND ALARMING... I'VE ALMOST BEEN CRASHED INTO 4 TIMES BY SEMI'S AN SCHOOL BUSES. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AN DANGEROUS IT ALMOST CAUSED MY LIFE AN I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH A 6 YEAR OLD WHO HAS ALSO BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME.

I WAS DRIVING WEST BOUND ON I-10 TOWARDS TUCSON ARIZONA. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WAS A PICKUP TRUCK IN THE LEFT LANE. THE PICKUP TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND MOVED INTO MY LANE WITHOUT CHECKING HIS BLIND SPOT. I QUICKLY SWERVED TO THE RIGHT INTO THE LANE FOR THE UPCOMING EXIT TO AVOID BEING HIT, AND WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT TO LEFT IN ORDER TO NOT HIT EXIT SIGN THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY DID NOT WORK RIGHT AND I COULDN'T GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WENT INTO A ROLL AND LANDED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAD LEFT TOWN THE DAY BEFORE AND WAS ON MY WAY BACK. WHEN I CONTACTED MY PARENTS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT ON THE 21ST THEY TOLD ME THAT A RECALL HAD COME IN THE MAIL THE DAY BEFORE FOR MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS THE GM RECALL NOTICE. BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL I HAD MANY KEYS ON MY KEY RING.

A BROWN LIQUID WAS ALL OVER SMOKING. *TR

HEADLIGHT AND LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING AGAIN. REPLACED THIS PROBLEM ABOUT THREE - FOUR MONTHS AGO AND AGAIN STOPPED WORKING AFTER SPENT 300.00. I WAS COMING OUT OF THE STORE GOT INTO THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING AND WENT OUT AGAIN. I SEE THERE IS LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK WITH AUTO LOW BEAMS ON, AND ON A HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS WOULD JUST TURN OFF. THE PARKING LIGHTS STAYED ON, AND HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED. WHEN I WOULD TURN THE SWITCH THERE WAS NO CHANGE. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE FOG LIGHTS ON. THEN ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THEY TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. NOW, THE LOW BEAMS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. SEVERAL POSTS ONLINE SUGGEST REPLACING RELAY #35(LOW BEAM RELAY) AND THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM, BUT THEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE POST HAVING FIRES AT RELAY #35 SHORTLY AFTER REPLACING IT. THERE ARE SWARMS OF POSTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH LOW BEAMS UNEXPECTEDLY TURNING OFF, AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD REPLACE THE PART, BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRES. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT HOWEVER ONE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANT FIND ISSUE. THEY DROVE FOR ONLY 2 MILES. IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. CURRENTLY AT A GM DEALERSHIP TO SOLVE ISSUE. HOWEVER GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS FAULTY ISSUE AND REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL AFTER MANY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TO FIX TRANSMISSIONS! I AM NEXT THIS IS TERRIBLE. WHAT IF IT COMPLETELY GOES WHILE I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE CAR? ARE THEY THEN GOING TO FIX? GM NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THE CONSUMER AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
