Driving down the road early morning or late night my low beams will turn off and come back on 20 minutes later, this is a very big safety issue. 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. I have read every forum for Grand Prix with low beam issues and nothing solves it. This issues needs to be resolved.

While driving at night the low beams starting flickering on and off already change out really 35 approx 6 months ago for same problem.

Soon after purchase, transmission slips gears coming out of a stop. August 2013, transmission dropped out, driving 30mph. Car was not drivable; no gears. Transmission was replaced. Now one year later, slips gears at 40mph. Headlights went out while driving in the dark. Use of turn signals causes high beams to activate. The cabin fan (A/C and heat) never shuts off. Heat works intermittently. Car seems to shake at times. Feels like a flat tire but when checked, tires are fine. Car rolls when in park, even on flat surface. Car rolls back when in drive, even on slight inclines. Never certain of brakes; at times, works as normal, other times, pedal must be pushed close to the floor to activate brakes.

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.

Low beams went out, when I got home and turned off car, I noticed smoked coming from under hood of car my relay fuse box was on fire, low beam relay was melted. Pontiac says there are no recalls on this car but there seems to be alot of people with the same problem.

- Portage, IN, USA

Low head lights started flickering then went out, still had high beams. Pulled into driveway and the fuse panel under the hood was smoking, disconnected the battery and lifted the lid to fuse panel and the relay had exploded and burnt through the panel that holds the fuses. A brown liquid was all over smoking.

Headlight and low beams are not working again. Replaced this problem about three - four months ago and again stopped working after spent $300. 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. Now again I am without a car and cant drive it again at night.

Was going home after work one night and headlights, and instrument panel turned off by themselves. I could not turn them back on ( I was going 60 on the freeway).I kept driving and they turned on by themselves after about two or three minutes. It got worse as time passed, and now only the high beams work, the low beams do not work at all. Low beam fuses, and low beam relay are all good. No one knows what is wrong with it. Also sometimes there is a loud pop sound from the speakers when starting the car up. When this happens it seems there is some type of power surge, and then I have to keep entering the correct time and date because it always goes to Jan. 1st.. need all these electrical issues fixed, there is a serious safety hazard involved here.

I have a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. 3 yrs. Ago, 75 mph on freeway at night, low beam headlights go out. Brights still work. After the car sat overnight, lights came back on. This happened off and on for several months. Diagnostics could not detect problem. New steering column and lightswitch was installed. Worked for a while, then started again. Last night it did it, so I read online to replace #35 relay in fuse box because tons of people were having same problem. It works for today. Thousands of people are having problem with this on the 06 thru 08 Grand Prix. Also reports of fuse boxes starting on fire. My car was extremely hot last night after being turned off for 2 hours. Love this car, except it is very dangerous to not have lights in nighttime driving!

When I'm driving the lights will go off sometimes they'll come back on and sometimes they stay off!the automatic lights do not come on sometimes when the ignition is turned on...I changed the dimmer switch twice and the lights still do not work even if I turn them on manually.

- Brownsville , TN, USA

While driving at night, on a busy road, the headlights simply went off. After trying to turn them back on without success, we had to continue driving with the high beam headlights on to get home. The next day the headlights worked. This continues to happen periodically. Sometimes, the headlights will not come on from a cold start. Other times, the headlights flash off and on while driving. This is a critical safety issue.

- Summerville, SC, USA

Having same issue as others on this website in regards to 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix headlights. I have been driving and all of a sudden headlights will shut off. Can be off for 20 to 30 minutes then kick on again, or here recently doesn't come back on at all. I have replaced the fuses, headlights and switches. My car is currently in the shop to replace the switch again for the second time in less than 2 years.
