2007 Pontiac Grand Prix lights complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 92, newest first, as owners wrote them.
High beam headlights come on erratically unexpectedly without driver interaction. As for example soon as engine starts, while driving or after making a turn with turn signal. Have had numerous oncoming drivers blare their horns or flashing their lights at me. This is a safety hazard not only for myself but for other drivers. Have spoken to gm regarding this issue and they told me not great enough percentage to warrant a recall. Seems like just more bs from gm not standing behind their products for things that should not occur. Have spoken online with numerous users with same issue. I've had this issue for several years and has gotten worse with the occurrence frequency that it happens. Use to be only during colder months but this year has been occurring during the warmer months as well.

Reference recall 14v755 nov 25, 2014, I experienced this problem in february 2014 while driving home at night on a back road with little traffic. I was going 45 MPH and suddenly pitch black. I thought quickly thought to hit my high beams. After spending money, replaced the relay and the following july it completely melted down, burning up my fuse box and several wires in the harness while parked in my driveway without keys in it. I happened to walk out and smelled it burning. I was able to remove the positive battery terminal. Clearly it was the (hdm) headlight relay stated in this recall. (photo attached).I've spent about $1500.00 in repairs. There are many blogs with the same problem and burned up a lot worse than mine. It seems to be a regular problem ending with fires in the fuse box.

Headlights stopped working
Received recall notice for hdm module. Dealer wanted to charge for repairs, contacted gm, they contacted dealer and I was told to bring car in for temp. Repair, at no charge which is what was stated on recall notice I received. I did so just to find that night that nothing had changed. Contacted dealer and gm to get the same result. I was told that I would have to pay for repairs or wait for a permenant fix. New switches might be bad but usually will last a while before doing so. Dealer never ask to see car to follow up on previous "repair" and gm seems to be taking there side. I don't know whats going on but head lights going out while driving down the highway is very dangerous. I'm very disappointed in gm and this dealer. I can only hope that someone is paying attention to this as I am sure I am not the only one at risk with this problem.

Low beams turn on and off during highway driving. Car not safe to drive.

While driving down the street my low beam headlights shutoff. This has been going on foe a year and half. I changed the relay and the new one got so hot it melted. So then I changed the whole fuse box under the hood. It seemed to have worked until the other week. Now its the same problem.
Beginning approximately the end of march, while driving at night, both of my low beam headlights have gone out at the same time. They came right back on at that time so I thought I hit a switch. Sometime in may it happened again, but the lights would not go back on so I used my hi beams. The low beams worked fine in the morning. This has happened about 3 more times since then and is becoming more frequent. Last night on july 23, it happened again on a dark, curvy road and I almost ran off the road. This morning, they work fine again. I called the dealer and they said there was no recall on this. I am surprised as this is a serious safety issue. I need to get it repaired, but since it is an intermittent problem, I suspect the dealer will not be able to find the root cause or fix the problem.
I had just bought this vehicle a week before from a used dealer. The first time I drove at night was on my son's graduation. It was only a few mins into driving with my low beams on and they just shut off on me. I freaked it was pich dark and I tried everything to get them to come on. I turned them on bright and my brights worked but the low beam was still off. A few mins later the low beam finally came back on. Then it did it again a few mins later. The low beam will do this all the time even the running lights. I have searched for an answer to this and found that my year model is not the only one with this problem. This can truly cause a major accident. I am very grateful I was the only one on that road that night it first happened to me.
I own a 2007 pontiac grand prix gt. While driving at various speeds, the low beam of both headlights automatically turn off with no warning. It is extremely dangerous and I have seen multiple other complaints of the same nature on this website. Pontiac/gm need to issue a fix for this immediately. No one should have to die from this issue!!
Approximately after 3 minutes of driving the head lights go out. The high beams still work. If the car is off for 5 minutes it seems to reset, but will only last 3 minutes again.
