  got cutoff on a busy highway going 70mph and they slammed their brakes. i had 6 car lengths between us and immediately started braking but we were just skidding. I had the choice of hitting the vehicle or swerving left towards the median. I chose the latter. The steering locked up, the abs did NOT kick in and the airbags did NOT deploy. we hit a median at 70mph and no airbags?! I was point of impact. It hit the front drivers side, destroying the light and entire front. the car spun around and it hit again but this time it was the back passenger side/light. Again, NO airbags deployed. So my abs, steering, and airbags all had issues. We are so lucky no one is hurt in severeity but I am beyond fuming, scared, and confused why all of those locked up/failed to serve their purpose! Most severe injuries were me with contusions, strains, and a herniated disc in my neck (likely to cause chronic pain, per doctor.) cop already found me not at fault so no ticket/points, to give an idea. person kept driving. one person stopped and happened to be 4 cars behind us and verified what happened to us. The vehicle is totaled. We are sol on a car now as insurance said it wasn't worth having collision considering how old it was... never had an accident or ticket in 10+ years of driving. the car failed me.

  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.

  You can turn the key on and have complete power inside the car the dash everything but no power to the motor. Then you can sometimes turn the key and the car will have three to five second delay cranking. Or you can turn the key off and there's a 3 5 second delay in the car dying. You can be going down the road and the car will die. It takes it 5 to 45 minutes to crank. My friend who IS an electrical engineer figured out the issue and added a new wire to supply power to the motor. There IS an electrical issue with the key ignition. I need this fixed. I have a two-year-old grandson and I doordash. It happens constantly. *tr

  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.

  My grandparent gave me the car a few years ago, and I lost power to all functions of headlights. I could not turn them at all, whether the car was stationary or moving. I then replaced a fuse that fixed the problem briefly. After awhile, my headlights began to stay on after I have shut the car off. During this time, my high beams were the only function that worked. Due to this ongoing problem, I have had to replace multiple batteries at least three times. I have done research and the 2007 grand prix models were recalled for this same exact issue. Ifm asking that gm extent the recall to the 2006 model year so this issue, that I have dealing with for years, can finally be resolved.

  I have been having startup issues with my car. When trying to start the car, it makes a clicking sound and will not turn on. I have to jump start my car witb a halo portable charger, every single time I want to drive it. Sometimes my car cuts off and loses power while I'm driving which has almost caused me an accident twice! My car has randomly cut off in motion while I was on the highway, approaching an intersection, and on a rural road in another city. I have called before and was told to file a complaint online. This issue started happening a year ago but only occasionally. Now this happens frequently. I assumed I had a bad battery or alternator or starter, so I replaced all three parts, including spark plugs, wires and air filters. I'm still having the same issue and need this resolved. I need transportation to get to and from work and do not deel safe driving it especially during the winter months, when it randomly cuts off. Please help resolve this issue. I am a long time pontiac owner and do not want to get rid of a fully paid for car if the issue can be resolved by your company.

  I bought my car used, and a few weeks later it was having a problem with "charging system failure" when I would try to turn it on and it would not start, in stationary position. At the time, my car key had 3 other keys plus a small keychain, and a clasp to hook onto a belt loop or something. After I took off the clasp, I haven't had any major problems, just every once in a while. I'm wondering what can be done since there was a recall specifically for this and it was never taken care of prior to me buying it.

  The subject vehicles are model year (MY) 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X, 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003-2006 Chevrolet SSR, 2005-2009 Buick Lacrosse, and 2006-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. This scope includes the Trailblazer/Envoy variants: 2002-2006 Envoy XL/Trailblazer EXT and 2004-2005 Envoy XUV. The original scope of this investigation was expanded to include all vehicles equipped with the subject Headlight Driver Module (HDM). The focus of the investigation was to determine whether actions performed by General Motors adequately addressed any unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety in the subject vehicles concerning the headlights and the HDM that controls them.Under normal electrical load and environmental conditions, the HDM can overheat inside the Underhood Electrical Center (UEC). This can cause the module to fail and result in a simultaneous loss of both low beam headlights and both daytime running lights (DRLs), often with no warning or prior detectability to the driver. This failure can be intermittent or permanent. No other exterior lights are affected. High beams, turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights are still operational.General Motors addressed this issue with 2 recalls (14V755 & 15V519) and a special coverage program (N172091910). In view of the recalls and special coverage program implemented by GM and the vehicle high beams continuing to operate, ODI has tentatively concluded that the actions taken by GM mitigate any unreasonable risk to safety posed by HDM failure in the subject vehicles.Accordingly, the investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.The ODI reports cited above are available for review online at NHTSA.gov under the identification numbers in the attached document.

  General motors (gm) initiated a customer satisfaction campaign in october of 2006 to address a failure of the power steering hose and/or clamps that could occur when the engine IS started in vehicles primarily operated in the following states that experience extremely cold temperatures:alaska, maine, minnesota, montana, new hampshire, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, wisconsin and wyoming.at the time this preliminary evaluation (pe) was opened, only 1 of the 33 complaints received by the office of defects investigation (odi) was from a state covered by the customer satisfaction campaign.in response to an information request sent by the odi, gm provided information that included 6 alleged fires and 1 alleged minor crash potentially related to the alleged defect. One of the alleged fires IS a duplicate of a report received by odi.of the fire incidents, 2 of the 6 alleged fire incidents occurred after the remedy detailed in the customer satisfaction program was performed.one of the vehicles was totaled as a result of the incident.it IS undetermined whether the incidents were related to the alleged defect or were a by product of the repair.of the other four alleged fire incidents, 1 incident involved smoke only and no visible flames.based on the information provided, the remaining 3 fire incidents were localized events that primarily involved damage to the power steering components and surrounding wiring.all 3 of these vehicles were subsequently repaired.none of the alleged fire incidents occurred while the vehicle was unattended.odi IS aware of 1 additional alleged fire incident that was not included in gm's information request response.based on the consumer's description of the incident, the fire was quickly extinguished by a friend and the vehicle was subsequently repaired at a dealership.in total odi IS aware of 6 alleged fire incidents where the consumer alleged flames were visible.all of the alleged fire incidents occurred while the vehicle was still attended. Odi IS aware 1 minor crash alleged to be related to a power steering fluid leak.the consumer alleged a minor crash occurred as the consumer was attempting to pull into a driveway and had difficulty negotiating the turn due to experiencing high power steering efforts and struck a snow bank.in a letter dated september 21, 2009, gm informed odi that a customer satisfaction program will commence in december of 2009 for the entire us. As a remedy the power steering hose assembly for vehicles with V8 engines and the power steering return hose and clamps for vehicles with V6 engines will be replaced with upgraded components.based on the low frequencies and minor severities of the alleged fire incidents and crash,no safety related defect trend has been identified in the subject vehicles.gm's expanded customer satisfaction program will provide free repairs to vehicles excluded from the original campaign.accordingly, this investigation has been closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles and take further action in the future if warranted.
