When I turn off my car my daytime running light will not stay off and it kills my battery. I looked online for help with this and it seems my car is not the only Pontiac Grand Prix with this problem yet I see no recalls for this. Can you please help me?

I was driving at dark hours with headlights on and lights just went out. Turned on bright lights and the lights worked. Turned back to dim and lights worked for about half a mile.lights went out again turned on brights and same thing as before the lights worked. I thought I seen somewhere a recall was issued for this problem. I guess I didnt.

The headlight module (low beams) and/or fuse box, keeps faulting out. Driving at night, the headlights suddenly go out. Very dangerous. This the 3rd module ive replaced, an now im on my 2nd fuse box.this happens at all times, whether moving, stationary, or etc.

Lowbeam lights turn off at same time randomly while driving. This is very hazardous and your "safety coverage" only covers hdm modules to be replaced which is a temporary fix (lasts usually 2 months) this is widely known issue on these vehicles dating back to 2005 and if I get in a serious wreck due to your negligence I will be taking action. I'm sickened you would cover the costs of a permanent fix when your customers are such at a high risk of fatalities while driving. (this issue has been reoccurring for the last year and have come close to many accidents)

Upon starting of the car under normal conditions, noticed a slight burnt electrical smell, after inspection of the engine compartment, I did not notice any smoke or obvious signs, and the smell went away, this happened twice while out shopping at various places. On the final leg of the trip on the way home, I noticed the smell becoming more apparent, and the smell was noticeable at traffic light stops. Once home, I once again inspected the compartment, and noticed a melted spot on the top of the fuse box, after opening, the low beam relay was burnt beyond recognition and fused to the wiper relay. In order to use headlights, I now have to replace the whole fuse box due to the burnt spot in the cover and the fuse box. See attached pictures. I could not attach the picture of plastic dust which is what is left of the relay, due to size limitations.

Went to car to go to work and found during the night the fuse box under the hood had burnt up while parked in driveway over night.

Low beam headlights go off, and sometimes on again by themselves. This happens after dark, while driving. It also happens in early evening when headlights should be on. This has been happening for a few weeks. Looking on the internet, I see there is a recall for this in 2007 models.

- Canaan, NH, USA

Was driving down road and smelt a burnt odor, found out my low beams where not working. Once home, I popped the hood, opened the fuse box and found it smoking. Quickly disconnected battery cable. Further observation, found low beam relay started melting and must have caused small fire. Burnt part of the fuse box.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. While driving at various speeds, low beam head lamps failed to function intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000. Updated 02/26/16 updated 02/29/16.

This vehicle keeps blowing the fuse for front park lights and tail lights. Without lights, cant drive vehicle at night or low light, inclement weather conditions. Initial investigation/troubleshooting leads to faulty body control module. The body control module provides ground circuit for multiple electrical functions on vehicle. This problem could result in vehicle wiring harness overloading and catching fire. Problem needs to be addressed with manufacturer. This fault can occur while driving or stationary. Fault occurs simply by turning ignition switch to on position and/or activating the multi-function switch to activate headlights and the fuse blows immediately. Simply replacing the fuse does not fix the problem. The vehicle should be diagnosed by GM dealer to validate proper function of lights/lighting system to pinpoint problem. Left alone, electrical components can fail and result in vehicle electrical fire. See attached photo of fuse block showing damage to area for parking light fuse.

2008 Grand Prix low beam headlights/daytime running lights work intermittently or don't work at all. Lights will work when car is started and will go out as I am driving or will not come on at all. VIN search says no recall on my year, but this same exact issue is in recall for 2007 and 2006 Grand Prix. This is a safety issue for my vehicle and I have now been pulled over and ticketed by the police for having headlight issues. I have tried replacing the hdm/headlight relay fuse, but the problem has persisted. I believe the issue to be the fuse socket or fusebox itself that is overheating the hdm

Low beam and driving lamps keep cutting out, stop working. Sometimes they work correctly then go through a series of shut downs. Especially at night I have to use hi beams to get off the road or get home.

- Des Moines, IA, USA

The headlamp module stopped working causing the low beams to go out when my daughter was driving home one evening. I researched this and found that this is a recall for cars through 2007 but GM refused to handle this on my 2008.

- Plano, TX, USA

Lowbeam headlights suddenly quit while driving causing me to almost run off road. This is directly related to the GM recall #14291 concerning the sudden failure of the hdm without any warning. The recall not cover my 2008 Pontiac at this time. Was told "under investigation". this needs to be immediately addressed by GM or federal government since it is a deadly matter. Sudden loss of lights at higher speeds will cause deaths.

Headlights intermittently go off while driving. Happens 1-3 times per month & not every time I drive the car. GM dealer tested extensively and could not duplicate in shop. Suggested I drive to their shop when it happens at night again, but not open at night! GM recall on other cars with the same problem 12-2014. When I called GM they said there is no recall for the lighting issue I am suddenly having. They agreed to have the shop look at it again but per [xxx] at 866-790-5700 X [xxx], if they can't duplicate it in the shop "how can we prove there is a problem". I explained I had heard on the news that other GM car's had this exact same problem and would I need to video when it happens? he said we would start with the dealer but was not sure what would happen if they couldn't duplicate it. I am willing to try again with the excellent shop but I don't expect resolution. Thank you as I suspect I am not the only one experiencing this dangerous condition.

The daytime running lights stopped working while I was driving at night. I could not turn them back on manually or by restarting the car etc. The high beams, turn signals, etc. Were not affected. The following day and for 2 weeks the problem did not reoccur that I noticed while driving during the day or night. After 2 weeks, the daytime running lights completely stopped working and I had to have the headlight relay module replaced. There is currently a recall on other GM models for this problem.

Within a month of purchasing a pre-owned 2008 Pontiac, Grand Prix from mike smith Buick GMC, located in lockport, NY, I realized the sensor for the passenger airbag would turn off and on while I have a passenger weighing over 200lbs in the passenger seat. I notified dealership and made an appt. On Sept 22, 2014. My car went in for service on September 29, 2014. The technician informed me he reset the module but no codes were coming up for the electronic control unit and this was too expensive and time consuming to fix and would not be covered under the New York state lemon law warranty. This concerns me as a safety defect and I would like to know if this is covered under General Motors corporation.
