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.

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 federal safety agency office of defects investigation (odi) to force gm to do the right thing. Thank you in advance for looking into this serious matter.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac grand prix. While driving at highway speeds, there was a drastic reduction in speed, the reduced engine power indicator flashed, and the vehicle would not exceed 30 MPH. The vehicle was extremely difficult to maneuver when the failures occurred. The dealer was not notified. An independent mechanic diagnosed that there were 14 diagnostic trouble codes and stated that further diagnostic testing was required. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted and had not issued a recall campaign. The failure mileage was not available.

Engine shuts off in the middle of driving and says starting disabled due to electric throttle control, reduced engine power, ABS traction control off. This happens while moving at the correct speed on the highway, stopped at a stop light in the city, and while making turns. Sometimes when it happens I lose power steering and have almost o control of where my car goes. At first this only happened about once a week, but now it can happen up to 10+ times a day

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.

The bright lights stay on, my horn doesn't work, the instrument codes will blink off and on.. There is a windshield wiper motor that causes a power surge that blows out the blower motor to go out.. It has burn marks..
