After he pulled off I saw the tires and slammed on my brakes.I was unable to move my car it had cut off. There was no music or lights on in my car. 30 -40 seconds later I was rear- ended. My trunk was pushed into the backseat.while at the scene the driver who hit me became very belligerent and continuously asked ' why was I just sitting there?. I was taken by an ambulance to henry Ford hospital on w. grand blvd. The officer at the scene came to the hospital. He asked me questions about the crash. I told him "it got dark and quiet". it was my ignition switch. Both rotator cuffs were torn, disc in my back was displaced, broke my toe on my left foot, sprained my ankle, surgery recommended for both knees and rotator cuffs.

Key loose in ignition causing voltage to drop while idling, which causes tracking system fault to appear on dash. Key so loose in ignition ( the slightest movement can cause car to turn off. Took to GM...and he agreed and saw how loose key were. Talked to GM complaint-case # and told them I would feel safer to go ahead and replace ignition switch and cylinder due to key not making good connection with cylinder due to loose ignition switch!!! $700 repair bill I would love to be compensated on. Had work done 09-19-2014. Please reply thank you.

I was pulling into my drive way and my power steering went out. On a separate occasion my blower motor would not switch off I had to remove the battery cables in order for it to shut off. When I had it looked at the blower motor resistor had burn marks on it. And I was lucky to have it replaced as it could have caused a fire. The car over heats when the heating system is not working despite having a new water pump replaced. I was slow on my street and the key had fallen out of my ignition and the car shut off I was not going very fast and I was on my street but it was scary as I had to try to pull the car over in order to try and restart it. This vehicle says it has many recalls but when I place my VIN in the GM website it says nothing. My air bag light is on and I feel as though my car may not deploy the air bags in a crash.

Ignition switch failed.

- Kansas City, MO, USA

Hitting bumps in road the car would quit-loosing brake assist and steering--this has been driving me nuts since last August (2013) trying to figure out what was causing the car to quit--after learning of a recall on other GM's experiencing similar issues it all came together--so I paid close to attention the ignition switch when this would happen the switch had moved from the run position to off (acc) position. Next I experimented a bit started the car at home (in the driveway) and just touched the ignition switch key and it moved to the off position very easily. I'll be replacing the switch asap. No the key chain has not been overloaded (per GM).

In October 2011, I noticed that my a\C & heating fan was working intermittently. After a hard rain, the fan stopped working completely, and I noticed a large puddle of water on the passenger side floor. I decided not to have the blower motor replaced until after I could find the exact location of the water leak. In spring 2012, while washing my car, I noticed that the seal between the windshield and the hood is not properly connected, and that water could be pushed into a hole in the seal. The seal is not damaged - there is simply a gap between the seal and windshield. Water runs behind the glove box, through electrical wiring and equipment, making this a fire hazard.

Driving 70 mph on the freeway. (phoenix temp. Was in the low 70's) lost all electrical power except the engine. Entire dash, gas, speed, oil gage, tach went to 0. lost head lights, turn signals. I did not have the cruise on at any of these times, lights were on auto. This lasted for about 2 min, 5 min later it happened again. I took the car to the GM dealership, they kept it for 5 days, their report said that they found nothing. On January 26th, it happened again, lasting 5 min. January 27th, the same. The most recent February 14th, 3 times last 7 -8 min. All times, lost all electrical power and the engine continued to run. My concern is a possible fire. Check the internet: Electrical system 2004 Grand Prix, there are other people out there with the same problem and I can't find a GM mechanic to fix the problem.

Many Pontiac Grand Prix owners are having problems with the following sensors. Traction control/sts/ABS lights come on intermittently or stay on. After doing some research this seems to be a common problem and service dealers have acknowledge that this is a problem. How safe is it for our families and ourselves to be driving cars that do this.

Passenger cabin blower motor inoperative or intermittent, blower speed may drop or blower continues to run after key off. I feel this may lead to a fire. Repair bulletin can be found at WW2.justanswer.com/uploads/advautoca/2008-12-10_042534_blower_motor.pdf some customers may comment on an inoperative or impenitent heating, ventilation and air conditioning (bv ac) blower motor. Others may comment that the blower motor speed may momentarily drop or that the blower motor continues to run after the key is turned off cause this condition may be caused by a voltage spike from the wiper motor. The voltage spike may cause a logic lock up in the blower motor control module that may be either momentary or pennanent. Technicians are to install a capacitor, pin 25073556, at the blower motor control module connector using the following procedure: I. disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. remove the right closeoutlinsulator panel. Refer to the closeoutllnsulator panel replacement-right procedure in the instrument panel, gauges and console section of sl 3. disconnect the wire harness connector to the blower motor control module. 4. install a capacitor, pin 25073556, into the blower motor control module connector using the following steps. Refer to the illustration above to locate the positive and negative leads of the capacitor. Strip a short length of insulation from the red wire in cavity C, circuit 442, of the blower motor control module connector using a splice clip from the J-38125 terminal repair kit, crimp the positive lead of the capacitor to the red wire. Strip a short length of insulation from the black wire in cavity a of the blower motor control module connector the circuit number for Buick vehicles is 1450 and for Pontiac vehicles it is 150. Using a splice clip from the J-38125 terminal repair kit, crimp the negative lead of the capacitor to the black wire. Why should consumers pay for this defect"?????"
