My vihicle turns off the low beams when I am driving and I can have an accident

- Chicago, IL, USA

My power steering went out and when you try to go over 40 the car lunges forward and has a hard time shifting and will continue while in cruise control. I already had work done on the fuel line cause the line was clogged and the vehicle would lunge forward cause the fuel wasn't getting pushed through. My power steering went out after my boyfriend parked it. He only noticed it when he tried driving away and he couldn't turn the wheel like usual. The cruise control does its thing while in motion. Also the headlamps! the brights stay on, you have to hold the dimmer switch back to get the brights to turn off but if you let go of the switch they turn on and flash people. It only turns off when turning left. The ac compressor blew too. I had bought the vehicle 3 years ago during the winter so it was blowing cold air, but when summer hit is when I noticed it was only blowing air from outside into the cab. The heater works, but the ac doesn't. my boyfriend was driving home recently and couldn't move the steering wheel and almost had a head on collision because of the power steering. The power steering happened in town at his place of work and had to drive on the highway to come home. The cruise happens on the highway. The headlamps is a constant thing, we pulled the fuse that controls the brights and the dims worked just fine, but it's hard to drive at night without brights.

My 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix experiences headlamps turning off without warning while the vehicle is in motion, and not being able to get them to turn back on again. I drive country roads home from work at night where there are no streetlights and the speed limit is 45-50 mph. This is a serious safety hazard ! ! ! it is socially irresponsible for GM to ignore this issue. For some reason 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix is not part of gms product safety recall (recall number: 14291 which only replaces the headlamp driver module hdm fuse). I have had to replace the hdm relay twice already, which only lasts for about 4 months before burning out again. Obviously the problem is not just with the fuse but likely with the electrical wiring or the fuse box itself. This serious problem must be investigated more thoroughly before somebody is killed. I did read that 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix was offered an extended warranty program for problems stemming from the headlamp modules for 12 years or 150,000 miles, whichever happens first. Unfortunately, the headlamp problem just began for me in 2019 at which point the car was 13 yrs old and was not covered by the extended warranty program or the safety recall, which is simply absurd ! at the very least GM should now include the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix model in the 14291 product safety recall. But GM really needs to release a permanent fix for the problem rather than a temporary fuse replacement every couple months. Has anyone investigated if these overheated headlamp driver module relays have caused electrical fires or melted the under hood bussed fusebox? if GM is not willing to step up and take responsibility, I hope we consumers can count on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office Of Defects Investigation (ODI) to force GM to do the right thing. Thank you in advance for looking into this serious matter.

Headlights go out when driving. Normally at night time and when traveling above 40 miles per hour this has been going on for over 24 months and it has started to get more frequent over the last 6 months.(not sure this is because of more night time driving I have been doing] this is a serious safety hazard I am now spending $580 on a computer issue and on top of all the other issues to deal with>I am hoping this solves the problem

Low beam headlight failure. 55,000 on a garage kept vehicle. Wife returning from funeral services when the headlights went out on an unlighted roadway at 55mph. The event caused a panic and nearly lost control. The failed part that caused this is GM#15016745 and readily available at auto parts stores for 35-50 dollars. GM did recall a mess of GM products for the defective part. In conversation with GM they have yet to offer to replace my part with the $300 replacement part under that recall nor offer to take action to recall the part itself. How many unknowing people are exposed daily to this risk daily?

In June 2015, traveling at approximately 45 miles per hour straight on a highway at night. The low-beam headlights went out. After pulling over and stopping, I attempted to get the headlights to work by trying and re-trying the headlight switches. I discovered the high-beam headlights did work and proceeded using my high beams. Intermittently I tried reverting back to low beams and, after about 15 miles, low-beam function returned. However, twice more before my 50-mile trip was completed, the low-beam headlights failed, forcing me to revert to high-beams for several miles. Since that time, this low-beam failure has occurred approximately ten times.

The headlights keep turning off/on at night on their own, whether I'm driving or stationary, if it were not for the fog lights on the car I would not have been able to see! this has been going on for a month now! I would like to know if this issue needs to be a recall and what can I do about getting this issue resolved without paying for it out of pocket?

Headlights started off jumping when driving. Then when parked starting car sometimes headlights would come on and times it would not. I would have to turn on high beams to get headlights on to stay on. Then that didn't work any more. Now headlights are gone and dash board light are also out.

The headlamps of the vehicle intermittently turn off while one (either with the daytime running lights on, or the lights manually turned on). This is only low-beams. I received a notice from GM/Pontiac that they will cover the replacement, however, it's only if it's under 150,000. If this is a known issue, it should be covered under a recall, regardless of the mileage (ours is almost 199,000). The lights first turned off while I was idling at a gas station. They turned back on sometime days after that when we first drove it again at night. I was less than 2 miles from home when this first happened.. the next time we noticed this, we were about 15 miles from home, driving for about 10 minutes, and the headlights turned off as we were driving. We had to drive with the high-beams on. We got about 3 miles down the road and we were the only ones on the road. I turned off the high beams and the low beams were back to working. This is clearly a safety issue, and should be covered, since they acknowledge the issue, regardless of mileage.

Low beams don't work inless they want to N the left turn signal don't work

- Luther, OK, USA

After a few minutes of driving the low beam lights will turn off and cannot be turned back on. High beams will work, but low beams cease to operate without warning. Problem occurs randomly, operating fine one day and turning off without warning at other unpredictable time frame.

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.

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.
