  RANDOM MISFIRE CODE WON'T GO AWAY SINCE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS THEN UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CAR COMPUTER & IGNITION COIL MODULE, SPARK PLUGS AND THE CODE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY GOOD ENOUGH TO PASS EMISSIONS. THEY ALSO PERFORMED THE KEY RECALL THE CODE KEEPS COMING & NO MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ME WHY BUT THEY KEEP TAKING MY MONEY FOR A TEMPORARY FIX.THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE REPLACED 5 SENSORS, THE IGNITION COIL MODULE TWICE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ALL SIX FUEL INJECTORS, THE FUEL PUMP AND HAD 3 MAJOR TUNE UPS. TO DATE THE ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS OFF TEMPORARILY AND ALWAYS RETURNS WITH THE SAME TWO CODES P0300 & P0420. IT FLASHES OCCASIONALLY BUT STAYS STEADY MOST DAYS.NO WORK DONE IS TURNING THE ENGINE LIGHT OFF FOR GOOD.

  I HAD BEEN HAVING A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THE WOULD JUST RANDOMLY TURN OFF AT NIGHT. THEY ONLY WORKED WHEN THEY WANTED TO. ON THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 17TH I STOPPED AT THE STORE ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL AND ONCE I CAME OUT OF THE STORE (ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER) I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING AND NOTICED SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN THE HOOD WAS POPPED THE RELAY BOX WAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND THE WIRING HARNESS HAD A FIRE STARTING TO IGNITE. I CAUGHT IT RIGHT AFTER IT STARTED. GM CLAIMS THEY KNOW NOTHING OF IT AND IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COSTS. AFTER READING MANY INSTANCES ON THIS I WOULD LIKE HELP IN GETTING SOMETHING STARTED. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THANKFULLY MY CHILD WAS ALREADY DROPPED OFF AT SCHOOL AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I KNOW GM KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IS COSTING CLOSE TO $3,000 TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PARTS REPLACED. I THINK GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND YOU ARE THE GUYS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THEM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM DOING EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO TRY TO GET A RECALL STARTED AND TO HAVE THEM PAY FOR THEIR FAULTS. PLEASE HELP!!!!! *TR

SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD ALREADY CALLED 911 SO I JUMPED INTO ACTION AND GOT MY WATER HOSE TO TRY AND CONTAIN THE FIRE. THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD.THE CAR BURNED FOR AROUND 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO USE THE JAWS OF LIFE TO OPEN THE HOOD. THERE WAS NO RECENT WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING NORMAL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY ALLSTATE. *TR

  THE KEY HAD STARTED GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, ONE DAY IT JUST DID NOT COME OUT. ONCE THE IGNITION TUMBLER WAS REMOVED THERE WAS A LONG CRACK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HOUSING WHICH WAS CAUSING THE KEYS TO LOOSEN AND SO THE KEY WAS NOT TURNING IN SYNC AND GOT STUCK. THE KEY BROKE OFF IN THE IGNITION STUCK ON ACCESSORY UNTIL THE PART CAME IN I WOULD HAVE TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY EVERY TIME I LEFT MY CAR FOR LONG PERIODS SO THE BATTERY WOULD NOT DRAIN POWER. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CABLE CAME OFF BECAUSE OF BEING LOOSENED FROM MULTIPLE REMOVAL. I LOST ALL POWER DRIVING AT 70MPH I DID NOT PANIC I SIMPLY PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A JUMP START HOWEVER I COULD SEE THIS RESULTING IN A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

• 11/21/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I HAVE HAD MY 2007 GRAND PRIX FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND IT HAS ABOUT 55,000 MILES ON IT. IN NOVEMBER OF 2011, I PAID CENTURY BUICK GMC (TAMPA, FL) TO REPLACE THE IGNITION MODULE AND CRANK SENSOR BECAUSE MY CAR HAD DIED WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK. ON OCTOBER 1, 2012, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN BECAUSE IT AGAIN DIED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. AT THIS POINT, I PAID ANOTHER $550 TO REPLACE THE IGNITION MODULE SINCE I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS THE SAME PART FROM THE YEAR BEFORE. THEN AGAIN ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012, MY CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (70 MPH) AT NIGHT. IT WAS A VERY UPSETTING, FRUSTRATING AND SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN AND I CAN?T IMAGINE IF I HAD BEEN ALONE AND STRANDED. WHEN I FINALLY HEARD FROM THE DEALER ON MONDAY, THEY SIMPLY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRANK SENSOR. WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS PROBLEM A MONTH AGO, HE THEN SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART FOR FREE. SINCE I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM, I ASKED TO SEE THEIR COPY OF MY FILE TO REVIEW IT AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION THAT I HAD ALREADY PAID TO REPLACE THESE PARTS A YEAR AGO. THEY SEEMED TO BE SURPRISED ABOUT THIS AND SAID THEY WOULD SUBMIT PAPERS FOR REIMBURSEMENT. IN THE END, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I MUST HAVE RECEIVED TWO SETS OF FAULTY PARTS. I ASKED IF THERE COULD BE AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM TO CAUSE THESE PARTS TO GO BAD AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "NOT THAT THEY CAN SEE." I THEN DROVE AWAY AFTER THEY SAID THEY HAD FIXED THE CAR AND I BROUGHT IT BACK WITHIN TWO HOURS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVING CORRECTLY. LATER THAT DAY, I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG CORRECTLY AND THAT IT IS NOW FIXED. *TR

  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.

THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR ON THE GRAND PRIX FOR YEARS 1998 TO 2007 WITH NO ANSWER TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT PUTS ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IN SERIOUS HARM AND COULD SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A CAR STALLING AT ANYTIME. I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK AND THE IGNITION COILS AND WIRES ALONG WITH THE SPARK PLUGS WITH THE SAME RESULT OF CAR STALLING WHEN CAR REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURES. *TR

  THE LOW BEAMS JUST STOPPED WORKING BUT ALL OTHER LIGHTS WERE FINE. FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT TO GO HOME. TRIED ALL TYPES OF WAYS SUCH AS SET THE ALARM OFF ON THE CAR WHICH WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES TO RESET THE LIGHTS. THEN THE LOW BEAMS WENT OFF AGAIN. WE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS, THE FUSE FOR THE HEADLAMPS. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS, THEN AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY TURNED OFF. NOTHING WORKED TO GET THE LOW BEAMS BACK ON. FOUND OUT THE FUSE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX AND NOW WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE RELAY BOX AS WELL PLUS IT DAMAGED OTHER FUSES. SO WE HAVE TO REPLACE THOSE TOO.

  THE TURN SIGNAL STALK THAT IS ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY THE BRIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE RANDOMLY BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS.
