Campaign id number15V-519 recall 14291 the left headlight keeps burning out and this recall is suppose to fix that situation but the local dealers say no solution has been found. What are the owners of these vehicles suppose to do. I have place 4 or 5 lights in this car to date. A solution surely has been found. If not GM should buy the car.

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.

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!!

When leaving a friends house our low beam headlamps failed to illuminate. I tried to manually make them come on and they still would not illuminate. I still had high beams, tail lamps, and side marker lamps. I turned on my fog lamps to make it home with lighting to the front.
