2008 PONTIAC G6 Electrical System Problems

Car shuts off & other lights light up on dash. Not driving over 20mph.

No warning lights came on, steering kepted locking up shutting off the vehicle

I have replaced my headlights 3 times and all 3 times the wiring harness connector was fried. I’ve had other issues with my brake lights coming on when I’m not pushing the brake pedal. I can shift out of park without hitting the pedal. All of these issues seem to be more and more frequent. After doing research I seen there was already a recall on the vehicle regarding such issues, my vin just wasn’t included for some reason. Now what I thought was just random issues, I am noticing is actually an already known manufacturer issue.

About 6 months ago I believe I file a complaint about this same issue and here I am again. A few nights ago driving home from the movies with my kids out of nowhere my headlights go out so I had to use my fog lights to make it home. I can't understand how isn't this a safety issue and why hasn't anyone done anything about it or why isn't there a recall. What is the wait? Are we waiting for a tragedy to occur to then do something?? This is like the 3 or 4th time that it has happened. Where is the urgency on this matter?? Or will I have to make a petition with other G6 owners that also have had this issue?? Some feedback would be nice on what to do or do I have to continue to spend $$$ with 0 results. Would appreciate some response and some results.

while driving down road the seat warmer or electrical controls caught fire lucky I had water to put fire out after pulling over a long side the road and stopping

This has been an issue that has been going on for a few years it has mostly been the driver side headlight a d o. 2 occasions both headlights have not work. On November 2023 my headlights on the driver's side would not work. Also, my turn signal didn't work at all which almost caused me an accident as I was making a turn not knowing that the turn signal was not working. I took my vehicle to Alden Buick GMC where they did inform me of issues with the headlight wiring they replaced a few wires and used a zip tie to fix it. On another occasion leaving work none of my headlights worked so I had to call my wife and have her drive in front of me so that I can make it home. Now on December I was driving on the highway at 1am and all of a sudden my headlights went off so the only thing I could do is use my fog lights and follow a car in front of me. And now here we are once again driver side Not working. Now, everyone that has a Pontiac G6 knows, the issues with the headlights and the wiring. I just don't see why it hasn't been a recall on this continuous problem or even worst, Safty issue!!

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that an unknown wiring harness had failed. The independent mechanic informed the contact that he could not repair the vehicle for fear that the vehicle could catch on fire. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 174,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while her fiancé’ was driving behind her, he notified her that her rear driver’s and passenger’s side brake lights remained illuminated while the accelerator pedal was depressed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the rear passenger’s and driver’s side brake light bulbs were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact then received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number 14V252000 (Electrical system, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electrical Stability Control). Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

No SE lights on dash. Shudder shifts intermittently between all gears both in automatic and manual driving mode. No shops have been able to diagnose what the actual problem is. Huge safety risk as there is no telling when it will actually happen and “stall” the car out in traffic when shifting. In searching the internet this is a common problem for 5+ years and there has not been a solution identified by GM.

THE STEERING IS VERY BAD AFTER SERVICING THE VEHICLE AND SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS WHICH IS A RECALL ON THE KELLEY BLUE BOOK PAGE ALSO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. WINDOWS WONT GO UP OR DOWN DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS AND GM SAID THAT YOUR RECALLS ARE INCORRECT!!!! I KNOW THAT THESE RECALLS ARE INDEED NEEDED SEVERELY. PLEASE HELP!

The electrical harness going to the drivers door doesn't function properly in any way shape or form. My locks blow a fuse every time you hit the button my trunk pop works with my key fob but not the actual button. My passenger window only goes down if you open the door completely but then only goes up with the pass. Switch and my car radio stays on even if I shut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car... Me not being able to get windows down or trunk open in an emergency is extremely dangerous and unsafe in every way and so is the door locks not functioning properly.... I demand a safety recall be issued on the wiring harness immediately....

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD ITS A AUTOMATIC,CANT DRIVE IN SNOW OR WHEN WET IT SLIDES FRONT END OFF ROAD DO TO SHIFTING.ABS ALERT STAYS ON ALL TIMES AND HAS BEEN TO SHOP.

THE STEERING IN MY PONTIAC HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING ALERT CAME UP ON THE RADIO. AND I'VE BEEN READING AND I'VE READ ARTICLES WHERE PONTIACS POWER STEERING HAS BEEN RECALLED.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS WAS A RECALL DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IN 2019 WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2011, AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BY MECHANICS OTHER THAN THE RECALL. THE MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. YESTERDAY, THE PROBLEM RETURNED (IF IT HAD EVER GONE AWAY TO BEGIN WITH.) THE MECHANICS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THE BEST I HAVE EVER GOTTEN IS ABOUT 8 MONTHS WITHOUT NOTICING ANY ISSUES. WHEN YOU BUY A CAR--NEW OR USED--YOU EXPECT THE BREAK LIGHTS TO WORK AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO WORK FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. NOBODY BUYS A CAR EXPECTING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF NOT KNOWING WHETHER YOUR CAR IS ACTUALLY ALERTING DRIVERS THAT YOU ARE STOPPING WHEN YOU ARE IN BUSY TRAFFIC.

ITS LEAKS WHEN ITS RAINS. THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE FRONT AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. LEFT SIDE LOCK SWITCH DOESNT WORK. ALSO MY GEAR SWITCH SOMETIMES KEEP ME IN PARKED OR REVERSE FROM DAY TO DAY TRAVELS. I COULD GET IN THE CAR GO TO THE STORE AND MY CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF REVERSE OR PARK.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP HAVING TO BE REPLACED! I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE PIGTAILS IN THE PAST!! I NOTICED BOTH MY HIGH AND LOW BEAMS OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO BE REPLACED THE LIGHT HAD COME BACK ON. THEN WHEN I LEFT WORK THAT NIGHT THEY WERE OUT ONCE AGAIN!!! I'VE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MOST PONTIAC OWNERS ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TOO! WHICH I'VE ALSO HAD MY SHARE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TOO!!! I'VE GOTTWN INTO THE HABIT OF SHUTTING OFF MY DAY TIME DRIVING LIGHTS! AS REPLACEMENT IS VERY COSTLY DUE TO LABOR!!

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT! I'VE REPLACED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALSO REPLACED THE PIG TAILS. ONLY FOR THEM TO CONTINUALLY GO OUT!! JUST YESTERDAY I KNEW ONE WAS OUT, BROUGHT IT TO BE REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE IT WORKING AGAIN!! THEN WHEN I LEFT WORK IT WAS OUT AGAIN!! THEY ARE ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE LABOR!! IT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN!!

TAKARA RECALL I WAS ON MY WAY TO A STORE DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SO I GOT OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT STARTING ACTING LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER SO I PULLED OVER SHUT IT OF FOR A HR AND TURNED IT BACK ON TRIED TO GO IN REVERSE NOTHING HAPPENED TRIED TO GO IN DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENED IT DIDNT YO ANYWHERE SO I PUT 2 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT THEN IT WOULD GO IN DRIVE BUT NO REVERSE. I BROUGHT IT TO A GARAGE AND A TON OF CODES CAME UP THEY CLEARED IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRIE ABOUT IT BUT IT SMELT WEIRD AND I NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION CABLES AND A THROTTLE SENSOR BECAUSE IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO GO FAST N THE THROTTLE WOULD ACCELERATE WHEN I DIDNT PUSH MORE ON THE PADDLE KINDA LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN CRUISE CONTROL BUT EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES IT STILL REV.

THE VEHICLES MAIN WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONS. WE HAVE CONTACTED A NUMBER OF PONTIAC DEALERSHIPS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE AND LIVES 32 MILES AWAY AND IS DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. EVERY TIME WE PUT A NEW BULB IN IT BLOWS. WE HAVE TO PAY HER SCHOOL TUITION AND CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER $500-$800 TO HAVE THE MAIN HARNESS REPLACED.

SO ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 GT, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I DECIDED TO REPLACE BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HASN'T BEEN TOO BAD, IT WOULD GO OUT, BUT A TAP ON THE HEADLIGHT WOULD TURN IT BACK ON. THE DRIVERS SIDE HOWEVER, WOULD GO OUT AT ANY RANDOM TIME, THEN CUT BACK ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY OR A FEW MINUTES LATER. I DID SEE THAT THE PLUG FOR THE LOW BEAM WAS A LITTLE MELTED, BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR WAS ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE CURRENT NEEDED FOR THE BULB OR THE WIRING WAS JUST TERRIBLE.

THE DRIVERSIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM CONNECTOR CONTINUOUSLY MELTS AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM PER MOST ONLINE FORUMS IF YOU LOOK IT UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN EVEN AFTER REPAIR THE PROBLEM PERSIST AND NEW WIRING HARNESS MELTS THE SAME WAY. THEIR HAS TO BE A REASON THAT SO MANY OF THESE ARE MELTING THE CONNECTORS. THERE IS NOT REASON THAT IT SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH OR REPAIR.

Mileage: 203,000

ADVISED CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID IS BAD, TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICHLE TO SHUT DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED SUCH AS THE EXPRESSWAY.

"TAKATA RECALL" IN MY PONTIAC G6 AFTER I HIT 100000 MILES I STARTED HAVING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. MY ABS LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND OFF. MY THEFT-DETERRENT ALARMS COMES ON AND STAY ON WHILE I DRIVE. THEN IT GOES OFF STAY OFF FOR A DAY MAYBE THEN COME BACK ON. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON THEN GOES OFF AND COME BACK ON. THE CAR PULLS FORWARD, WHICH IS SCARY. I DRIVE SLOW BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN STOP IF I HAVE TO. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP. PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE THE CODES THAT WERE COMING UP CONTRADICTS WHAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DOING. THE MECHANIC SAID I MAY NEED A COMPUTER BUT I MAY HE REALLY DID NOT HAVE A DEFINITELY ANSWER ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY (VIN) BUT I BELIEVE THEIR SHOULD BE.

POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY WHILE IN MOTION, AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. DROVE STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL, THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH FLUID IN THE CAR. PONTIAC SPECIAL WARRANTY COVERED POWER ASSIST MODULE TO BE REPLACED. SAME THING FAILED LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL. NO WARNING. PONTIAC WILL NOT APPROVE OF STEERING COLUMN TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR. BUT SHE WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY BEFORE THIS.

Mileage: 65,000

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHILE DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN BRAKING. CURRENTLY THERE'S ONLY 50K MILES ON IT. TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY REPLACE SOME SWITCH BUT IT DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO IF THE MECHANICS CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM FOR A PERMANENT FIX. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH NO REAL "FIX." CHECKED FOR RECALL AND HAVEN'T FOUND ONE.

WIRED CONNECTION TO FUSE BOX KEEPS BURNING UP THIS IS THE 4TH TIMES TOOK IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS UNKNOWN REASON FOUND. MAKES THE CAR COMPLETELY DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND NO POWER.

1ST ISSUE WITH LIGHTING: REPEATED ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO FRONT HEAD LIGHTS. LIGHT BULBS TESTED AND WERE OK. MECHANICS WOULD RECONNECT LOOSE WIRING TO THE HEADLIGHTS. MORE THAN 6 REPAIRS BY MECHANICS FAILED TO SOLVE PROBLEM IN 9 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. 2ND ISSUE WITH POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL - UNKNOWN CAUSE: AFTER OWNING CAR FOR 9 YEARS, FRONT OF CAR "EXPLODED" RESULTING IN FIRE IN FRONT RIGHT QUADRANT OF CAR AND ULTIMATELY BURNING ENTIRE ENGINE, FRONT OF CAR, FRONT WINDOWS, FRONT TIRES. FIREMAN STATED CAUSE OF FIRE COULD HAVE BEEN SHORT IN ELECTRICAL WIRING TOO CLOSE TO OIL TANK. ROOT CAUSE OF EXPLOSION UNKNOWN. NO HUMAN INJURIES. CAR WAS IN MOTION LESS THAN 5 MPH PULLING INTO OWNER'S DRIVEWAY WHEN EXPLOSION OCCURRED. NO ENGINE ALERT LIGHTS WENT OFF AHEAD OF EXPLOSION. NO WARNING SYSTEM ALERTED TO ANY PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE, SENSORS, HEAT, OIL LEVELS, ETC.

Mileage: 127,000

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH, 2017. THE WARNING LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AT THE TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS TO BE DONE. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THEY KEEP THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ME TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BUT SAY THAT THEY CAN FIX IT AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED.

I HAD BOUGHT THIS CAR IS 2015 AND MY HEADLIGHT PLUGS INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY HAVE NOW MELTED TWICE, I HAVE REPLACED THEM BOTH TIMES, AND HAVE KEPT THEME BOTH. IT IS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE..I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORT OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, AND IT IS A FIRE HAZARD.

Mileage: 162,000

I HAVE ONLY DROVE THE CAR FOR 5 TOTAL DAYS AND SALE CHEVROLET HAS HAD IT THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO REPAIR THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE STARTER ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE STARTER ENGAGING INDEPENDENTLY, THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE WITH THE POWER STEERING AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING INCLUDING TWO OTHER RECALLS FOR THE BRAKE LAMP AND TRANSMISSION WIRE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

I HAVE BEEN REPLACING THE SOCKET/HARNESS FOR MY LOW BEAMS ON BOTH SIDES FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2011. THE SOCKETS ARE MELTING, WHICH TO ME IS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD, AND A SAFETY HAZARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING SINCE THE LOW BEAMS DON'T WORK WITH A MELTED SOCKET. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ON BOTH SIDES. I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A TRAFFIC VIOLATION TICKET AFTER BEING PULLED OVER, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO GET DROPPED BECAUSE I FIXED IT THE NEXT DAY. EITHER WAY, THIS IS A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACING MELTING COMPONENTS A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR! I ALSO AVOID USING MY FOG LIGHTS BECAUSE I THINK THIS MELTS THEM QUICKER DUE TO EXTRA CURRENT AND HEAT DRAW. ALSO, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE. WHY NOT THE PONTIAC G6??? *TR

WHILE DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN YOU PUSH BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD. WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING IF YOU TAP BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT FOR 5 SECONDS THEN COME BACK ON. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE. CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2014 AND TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL FIX. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM UNROLL NOW. RECALL NUMBER14V252000 FOR CORROSION IN BACK CONNECTION. I HAD BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED AND HAD COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED 3 TIMES NOW AND PROBLEM PERSIST. GM 2014 RECALL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IS NOT A FIX. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR'S BRAKES ILLUMINATE AUTOMATICALLY. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAYS BOTH. THEREFORE CAUSING ANY VEHICHLES BEHIND ME TO THINK I AM NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE 2009 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND AUTO SHOPS. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY EVERY DAY WHEN I TRAVEL IN A BUSY DOWNTOWN AREA.

ON A CLEAR DAY, TRAVELING ON A LOCAL HWY, CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED ON. I HAVE BEEN ASKING OTHER OWNERS IF THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IF THAT LIGHT IS ON. THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME! NOW THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE I MOVED THE DRIVERS SEAT FORWARD. THAT IS INTERMITTENT. PLEASE, FIND THE RIGHT PERSON TO DECLARE THIS WORTHY OF A RECALL. ONE PERSON DYING BECAUSE OF THIS IS ONE PERSON TOO MANY. AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS ARE OUR ONLY SAFETY IN A CAR. IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT, THE CARS SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE OWNER REIMBURSED.

THE BRAKE SENSOR GOES OUT CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. A RECALL SAYS THAT THE BCM CAUSES FLUCTUATIONS TO THE BRAKE SENSOR ,IN TURN CAUSES THE LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. WHEN I HAD THE RECAL DONE FOR THE BCM, THE BRAKE SENSOR ALSO NEEDED WORK. THE RESULT IS 200 BUCKS WORTH OF WORK DONE THAT WASN'T RECALL COVERED. THE RECAL EVEN STATES THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE BCM PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN THIS ISSUE. ALSO INCLUDE THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUTTING OFF, THAT WAS ANOTHER 200 SPENT FOR THAT. TAKE A GOOD GUESS WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF THAT ISSUE. SPOILER ALERT IT WAS THE BCM!!

DRIVER SIDE FRONT LOW BEAM LIGHT WAS OUT AND REPLACED AT PEP BOYS IN APRIL 2016. SINCE THEN THE LIGHT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENLY. I RETURNED TO PEP BOYS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THEY SEE 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES WITH PONTIACS. WENT TO DEALER ON 8/22/2016 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BULB CONNECTOR HAD MELTED, A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS CAR. I HAD TO PAY $212.17 TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM CONNECTOR AND THE NEW HEADLAMP THAT I WAS TOLD COULD NOT BE RE-USED. I AM NOW HOPING IT DOESN'T BURN OUT AGAIN SOON OR THAT THE RIGHT SIDE DOESN'T BURN OUT TOO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEVER KNEW WHEN MY HEADLIGHT WOULD BE ON OR IF IT WOULD REMAIN ON DURING AN OUTING. SOMETIMES I WOULD BOARD MY CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT ON AND PART WAY THROUGH MY TRIP THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF LEAVING ME SUDDENLY IN THE DARK. LUCKILY I WAS NEVER STOPPED AND TICKETED BY THE POLICE OR, EVEN WORSE, SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A SUDDEN CHANGE IN VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD.

I AM SO AGGRAVATED WITH THE PONTIAC COMPANY, I FILED A RECENT COMPLAINT OVER THE PHONE. THE BODY CONTROL MODULAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED BUT BECAUSE MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2014 RECALL THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO IS TRYING TO BLAME IT ON US BECAUSE THE CAR HAS AFTER MARKET ITEMS ON THE CAR WHICH WE DID NOT ADDTO THE CAR, WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM TOYOTA ON NICHOLASVILLE SUPERSTORE THAT STUFF WAS ADDED ALREADY BY SOMEONE ELSE, AND IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WHY IS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON//OFF PROBLEM JUST NOW SHOWING UP SINCE IT WAS A YEAR THIS PAST MAY THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I THINK THAT THE PONTIAC COMPANY JUST DOESN'T WANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM AND WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAMGUNG PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE AND I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

THE SECOND HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS FAILED LEAVING US WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT, NOT BECAUSE THE BULB BURNED OUT BUT THE WIRING HARNESS ITSELF MELTED. GM REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOUND THOUSANDS OF RESULTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE GM DEALER DOES NOT HAVE AN EXACT REPLACEMENT PART THEY JUST GIVE OUT A GENERIC WIRING HARNESS THAT THE OWNER MUST CUT AND SPLICE TOGETHER. IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT A WIRING HARNESS FOR SUCH A BASIC ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE CAR WOULD EVER FAIL, MUCH LESS SO SOON. THE WIRES ARE OBVIOUSLY GETTING TOO HOT AND MELTING WHICH SHOWS A COMPLETE LACK OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING THAT WENT INTO DESIGNING THE HEADLIGHT WIRING. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. OWNERS TYPICALLY DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME AS THE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY ONCE THE WIRING STARTS TO DEGRADE. THEY MIGHT NOTICE FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THE LIGHTS ARE NOT AS BRIGHT AS NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPY ROADS, OR SPEED BUMPS AS THE JARRING OF THE WIRES CAN FORCE THE WIRES IN AND OUT OF CONTACT.

I WORKED WITH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS; THEY TOOK A VERY LAZY APPROACH TO MY SITUATION AND DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SMELL MOLD WHEN YOU GET IN MY CAR. DURING THIS TIMEFRAME I HAVE BECOME ILL AND HAVE HAD MANY (A LOT OF) SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH BLACK MOLD EXPOSURE. GENERAL MOTORS IS FULLY AWARE OF THE HEALTH CONCERNS, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE.

HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, CUT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN CONTINUE DRIVING. PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENT AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 50 MPH, VERY DANGEROUS WAS ALMOST HIT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE USED LOST SERVICE CENTER THREE TIMES, NO LUCK ON FINDING PROBLEM OR REPAIR. CAR HAS BEEN WITH MY LOCAL GM CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP FOR 3 DAYS AND STILL NO PROPER DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM OR REPAIR. HAS SENSE RECEIVED THE TWO RECALL LETTERS BCM/TRANSMISSION BUT DEALERSHIP IS RELUCTANT TO REPAIR BECAUSE THEY SAID GM MAY NOT PAY FOR TIME AND PARTS. WORSE CAR PURCHASE I HAVE EVERY MADE. *TR

VEHICLE BATTERY WAS DRAINED OVERNIGHT FROM CONSUMER ELECTRONICS (DVD CHARGING, GPS) TO THE POINT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START NEAR ZERO VOLTAGE WITH INSIDE LIGHTS SHUTTING OFF. CHARGED WITH 10 AMP BATTERY CHARGER TO FULL BATTERY. AFTERWARDS KEY FOBS WOULD NOT WORK. DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE INFO WAS ALL -- (NOT POSTING). TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM MONITORING WAS COMPLETELY OFF WITH NO NOTIFICATION TO DRIVER. FOUND SEVERAL SITES THAT SAY A G6 CAN LOSE IT'S TIRE SENSOR/KEY FOB MEMORY FROM A SLOWLY DRAINING BATTERY AND MUST BE TAKEN TO A DEALER TO FIX IT. TOOK IT TO A GMC (FORMERLY PONTIAC) DEALERSHIP, $95 LATER ONLY GOT THE TIRES WORKING AGAIN. NEWER VEHICLES HAVE A PROCEDURE FOR OWNERS TO INITIATE THIS SETUP THEMSELVES AND REPROGRAM THE TIRES AND KEY FOBS, BUT NOT 2008. THE LACK OF TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WHEN THEY WERE THERE PRIOR SHOULD TRIGGER AT MINIMUM A WARNING ON EVERY START. IT CAN TELL ME I NEED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY DAY. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF A LOW VOLTAGE EVENT IS TERRIBLE CIRCUIT DESIGN / BAD PROGRAMMING. IF AN OWNER CHARGES HIS KID'S DVD PLAYER AND IT KILLS THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY THE MANDATORY TMPS SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK, AND NOT WORK WITHOUT WARNING. HOPEFULLY THE DAY THE DVD PLAYER NEEDS A CHARGE ISN'T THE SAME DAY THEY DEVELOP A MEDIUM LEAK DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAINS OF UTAH, BECAUSE THE DRIVER WON'T BE NOTIFIED THE SYSTEM FORGOT THE SENSOR ID'S AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THOSE PRESSURE READINGS ANYMORE, EVEN THE FALLING PRESSURE ON THE TIRE HOLDING THE CAR IN THE CORRECT LANE AT A 8% GRADE, DOWNHILL. #1 FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE. #2 DON'T CHARGE ME TO RE-PROGRAM SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAFE AND WAS CORRECTED ON NEWER VEHICLES. *TR

IN AUGUST OF 2013, I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN STANDING TOWARDS THE BACK END OF MY G6. THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD FUEL PUMP. MILEAGE WAS ~58,000. A FEW WEEKS LATER, MY CAR BEGAN STALLING AND THE CHARCOAL CANISTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW MAY, 2014 AND I'VE HAD MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FUEL SYSTEM RELATED ISSUES FIVE TIMES. THEY'VE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND CHARCOAL CANISTER A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES AND THEY EVEN REPLACED THE GAS TANK DURING ROUND THREE. AFTER THE MOST RECENT REPAIRS, I GET "CHECK GAS CAP" MESSAGES ON MY RADIO CONSOLE EVERY TIME I FILL UP, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE ACCELERATION ISSUES. I'M JUST WAITING FOR IT TO STALL ON ME AGAIN AND I PRAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN ON AN ON RAMP. ALL REPAIRS ARE DOCUMENTED THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. IN APRIL, BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS BEGAN WORKING SPORADICALLY AND WITHIN A WEEK, QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. I WENT TO A SHOP CLOSE TO THE OFFICE AND PAID $50 TO HAVE BOTH LOW-BEAM BULBS REPLACED. AFTER ABOUT THREE WEEKS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE BULB WAS OUT AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOOK THE HEAD LAMP OUT AND SHOWED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE HEAD LAMPS. THE WIRING HAD BECOME SO HOT, THE WIRE INSULATION HAD MELTED OFF AND THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED CAUSING A SHORT AND BLOWING THE BULBS. I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE MORE WIDESPREAD AND COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH, BUT IF THE MANUFACTURING DEALERSHIP CAN'T RESOLVE THESE ISSUES, I'M NOT HOPEFUL THAT MY CAR WILL EVER RUN CORRECTLY AGAIN. I FEEL I HAVE A GREAT LOOKING, UNRELIABLE LEMON THAT ADDS A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS TO MY LIFE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE. THE OFFICER ISSUED 3 SERVICE REPAIR ORDERS ALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING. A MONTH PRIOR TO THIS, IN OCTOBER 2013, THE LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS GIVEN A WARNING AT THAT TIME SO I WENT TO A MECHANIC. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PURCHASED THE BULBS FOR 20 DOLLARS AND PAID 88 DOLLARS FOR THE SERVICE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT, I'D SAY MID-OCTOBER, A FRIEND TOLD ME MY LIGHTS WEREN'T ON AND SURE ENOUGH THEY WERE NOT. SO I AVOIDED NIGHT DRIVING UNTIL I COULD GET THEM CHECKED OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME. BUT THEN I NOTICED THAT SOME DAYS THE LOW BEAMS WERE ON AND SOME DAYS THEY WERE NOT SO I FIGURED IT MIGHT BE A SHORT CIRCUIT OR SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH FUSES. BUT ON THAT NIGHT IN NOVEMBER, I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO PICK MY TEENAGED SON UP FROM THE METRO STATION ONE NIGHT SO I USED MY HIGH BEAMS. I HAD NO CHOICE. THE POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER BECAUSE OF THE GLARE THE HIGH BEAMS CAUSED AND ISSUED THE 3 REPAIR ORDERS. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE WHERE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTICS CHECK ON MY VEHICLE. I RECEIVED 4 PRINTOUTS EXPLAINING THAT MY PROBLEM WAS ALL RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVEN'T HAD THE REPAIRS DONE YET BECAUSE THEY WILL COST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS AND I CANNOT AFFORD IT WITH A NEWBORN BABY AND MY RESULTING REDUCED WORK SCHEDULE. THE LOWEST ESTIMATE I RECEIVED WAS FOR 650. FURTHERMORE, THE DEALER WANTS TO PERFORM THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTICS CHECK FOR ANOTHER 130 DOLLARS.

THIS IS A 4-DOOR VEHICLE DESIGNED WITH ONLY ONE EXTERIOR KEYED DOOR LOCK AT THE DRIVERS DOOR, HAS ELECTRIC DOOR ACTUATORS THAT ARE OPERATED INDIVIDUALLY AT EACH DOOR WITH A MASTER CONTROL AT THE DRIVERS DOOR FOR "ALL DOORS UNLOCKED OR LOCKED" + MANUAL LOCK KNOBS ON EACH DOOR. BOTH REAR DOORS ARE LOCKING/UNLOCKING ERRATICALLY FROM THE DRIVER SEAT MASTER CONTROL. SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER DOOR WON'T UNLOCK OR LOCK AND OTHER TIMES THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WON'T WORK. THE RESULT IS YOU CAN'T UNLOCK THE BACK SEAT DOOR(S) AND WOULD NEED TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW FOR THE LOCKED DOOR FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT MASTER WINDOW CONTROL AND REACH IN FROM THE EXTERIOR TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK KNOB MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE OR CRAWL INTO THE BACK SEAT TO OPERATE THE LOCK KNOB MANUALLY. IF THE WINDOW CONTROL GOES BAD THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE CRAWLING INTO THE BACK SEAT TO MANUALLY OPERATE LOCK KNOB. DOESN'T SOUND THAT BAD UNTIL YOU CONSIDER DRIVERS NEW TO THIS PROBLEM, AN ELDERLY, INVALID OR BABY IN THE BACK SEAT/CAR SEAT CAN'T BE ACCESSED WITHOUT A DELAYS. SINCE THE BACK DOORS DON'T LOCK CONSISTENTLY YOU HAVE TO GO TO EACH DOOR IF IT DOESN'T LOCK AND LOCK IT MANUALLY AT THE LOCK KNOB WHICH MEANS IT PROBABLY WON'T UNLOCK LATER WITHOUT USING THE MANUAL KNOB THROUGH THE WINDOW FROM THE EXTERIOR OR CRAWLING INTO THE BACK SEAT, I'M NOT A SAFETY EXPERT BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ITS ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD PRACTICE TO SHUT AND THEN LOCK ALL THE DOORS WHEN DRIVING, DOESN'T THAT ADD A SAFETY FUNCTION TO THE LOCK MECHANISM? THE MECHANISM ISN'T RELIABLE ON THIS VEHICLE, DOESN'T FUNCTION AS DESIGNED OR HAVE A BACKUP KEYED LOCK AT EACH DOOR FOR EMERGENCIES. I ALSO FOUND AN '08 CHEVY EQUINOX OWNER THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

BEGINNING ON NOV 17, 2013 AND UP UNTIL PRESENT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT OF MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. THE FIRST INCIDENT CAUSED ME TO GET A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE TICKET IS THE WAY I INITIALLY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. THE VERY NEXT MORNING AFTER RECEIVING THE TICKET, I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED THE HEADLIGHT. TO MY DISMAY, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER IT WAS FIRST REPLACED. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT REPLACED AGAIN. ON TODAY'S DATE, DECEMBER 28TH, WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS BLACKENED. I REMOVED THE HEADLIGHT AND OBSERVED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR WAS COMPLETED BURNED WITH SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT. NOW I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO LEARN WHAT THE CAUSE MAY BE AND DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PONTIAC G6.

I ALSO HAD TO REMOVE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FUSE BECAUSE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON ALL THE TIME AND THE THE CAR WOULD BE ELECTRICALLY DEAD WHEN I WOULD GO TO START IT.

THE CAR HAS THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY AP8 CODE AND THE DEALER SAID A REMOTE SHOULD WORK AFTER PROGRAMMING, BUT THEY COULD NOT DO IT. I PAID DEALERS $200 FOR SCANS ONLY TO FIND OUT THE FUNCTION IS LOCKED, THEY SAY. AND NOW DEALER WANTS ANOTHER $550 FOR A NEW BCM AND APPROX. $100 FOR A NEW REMOTE KEY FOB, AND MAYBE ABOUT $300 OR SO MORE FOR BOTH REAR DOOR LOCK LATCHES REPLACED. I DECLINED.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 PONTIAC G6, ONE OF WHICH I HAVE CONTACTED GM BUT AM UNABLE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT A DEALER TO THEN BE REIMBURSED, WHICH IS FOR THE ACTUATOR ON THE REAR DRIVER' SIDE DOOR THAT PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM LOCKING AND UNLOCKING; A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO CHECK THE DOOR EACH TIME I EXIT MY CAR, AS IT BEING LOCKED OR UNLOCKED IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE FOUND MANY POSTS ON WWW.G6OWNERSCLUB.COM WHERE OWNERS SHARE SIMILAR STORIES; ALONG WITH OTHER COSTLY, SAFETY ISSUES I EXPERIENCE. I WILL ALSO NOTE SOME OTHER ISSUES I HAVE REGARDING THE DOME LIGHT AND THE DOOR AJAR ESSAGE. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY DOME LIGHT IN THE OFF OSITION BECAUSE WHEN LEFT ON AUTO, IT DOES NOT DIM AND TURN OFF. ON DAYS I HAVE FORGOTTEN, I FIND MY DOME LIGHTS ON AFTER 12 OR SO HOURS OF NON-USE. IN AN EFFORT TO NOT FORGET AND DRAIN MY BATTERY, I LEAVE IT OFF; THIS LEADS TO MY HAVING TO GET IN AND OUT OF A DARK CAR AT NIGHT AND EARLY IN THE MORNING. ALSO, THE DOOR AJAR MESSAGE DISPLAYS CONSTANTLY AND OFTEN MAKES A BEEPING NOISE IN WARNING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR SENSORS, CAUSING "DOOR AJAR" TO APPEAR. OTHER THAN BEING PURELY ANNOYED, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF A DOOR WERE TO EVER ACTUALLY BE AJAR, I WOULD HAVE NO PREMISE TO PULL OVER AND CHECK. ALSO, THE WARNING NOISE DOES SOUND AT TIMES WHEN THE MESSAGE IS NOT DISPLAYING, WHICH LEADS TO DISTRACTED DRIVING AS I CHECK FOR ISSUES ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THAT ALL PASSENGERS ARE WEARING SEAT BELTS. ALL THREE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES STARTED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ONE ANOTHER IN 2011, SHORTLY AFTER MY LEASE ENDED AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN READING MY CONCERNS.

I CAN BE DRIVING FROM 20MPH TO 70+MPH DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE AND REMAIN ON WITHOUT ME USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. A LIGHT TOUCH TO THE BRAKES WILL TURN THEM OFF, BUT JUST FOR A SECOND. I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED ONCE IN THE LAST YEAR; HOWEVER, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE OTHER ERRORS AND ISSUES WITH IN THE VEHICLE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR BUT HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS COMING FROM. I HAVE ALSO ASKED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON A SOLUTION EITHER. FROM SOME INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS. *TR

THE WIRE CONNECTION TO THE MAIN HEADLIGHT (ON BOTH SIDES) IS FRAYING--LEAVING BARE WIRE EXPOSED. WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 IN NOVEMBER 6, 2009. IN THE SUMMER OF 2010 MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. A MONTH OR SO AFTER REPLACING IT, IT WENT OUT AGAIN. AFTER REPLACING THE BULB 4 TIMES I FINALLY HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT WHO TOLD ME IT WAS THE LOW BEAM CONNECTOR THAT HAS CORRODED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THAT PART I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE A BULB OUTAGE FOR 6 MONTHS OR SO. THEN ONE DAY WHEN WALKING INSIDE TO MY HOME I NOTICED THE RUNNER LIGHTS ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS WERE LIT AND I COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF. IT ENDED UP DRAINING MY BATTERY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY MADE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT NOT WORK AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO FIXED THE RUNNER LIGHT ISSUE BUT TOLD ME IN ORDER TO FIX MY HEADLIGHT ISSUE I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE "IT SMELLED BURNT." AFTER GOING BACK IN FORTH WITH THEM IN TRYING TO GET THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE CAR I TOOK THE CAR HOME WITH ONE HEADLIGHT UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. MY HIGH BEAMS WORK BUT THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO USE AROUND TRAFFIC. BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE GOOD BUT THE CONNECTORS KEEP MELTING AND CORRODING AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ISSUE IS BIGGER THAN BUYING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S.

THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AUTO-LOCK/UNLOCK FEATURE HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF. NOW RECENTLY, THE OTHER BACK DOOR AUTO-LOCK/UNLOCK FEATURE HAS STOPPED WORKING ALSO. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND REQUIRES ONE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN THEN MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS OR CRAWL IN AND REACH OVER, ETC. THE PROBLEM WAS GRADUAL, SOMETIMES THE LOCK FEATURE WOULD WORK, SOMETIMES NOT. NOW IT IS ALWAYS NOT WORKING. WHEN I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR G6 VEHICLES. I HAD PREVIOUSLY INQUIRED WITH THE CAR DEALER, AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS/IS COST PROHIBITIVE FOR ME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT SHOULD BE A RECALL SITUATION, WITH SO MANY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER STATES FRONT PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS *TGW

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKES THEY TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALONGSIDE THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BEING DISPLAYED. WHEN THIS OCCURS MY BRAKES ARE NOT AS RESPONSIVE, WHICH CAUSED ME TO BE INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES, AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS SO FAR ON THIS ISSUE. IT STILL ISN'T FIXED, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON. WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL I GET REAR ENDED. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS, I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR UPDATED 01/31/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, STATING IT HAD TURNED OFF. THE CONSUMER STATED HE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT FIRST, BUT THEN HE NOTICED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED HARD TO THE FLOOR A EVEN RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES DIDN'T RESPOND AS THEY SHOULD; BASICALLY THE BRAKES WERE NOT EFFECTIVE WHEN HAVING TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, AS HE WAS DRIVING, BUT WOULD GO OUT, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. ALSO, WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A CODE OF C0277 BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DEFECTIVE. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, AFTER THE REPAIR, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, WHICH THEN RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED SUDDENLY AND HE STATED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND HE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, TO SEE WHY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND RECALIBRATED THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. THEY ALSO FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT WITHIN THE CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED IT. AFTER HE LEFT THE REPAIR SHOP, ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE REPAIR

I HAVE A 2008 G6 THAT ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. THE REAR DOOR LOCK HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. WE NOW CAN NOT USE THIS DOOR AS IT WILL ONLY UNLOCK BY HAND AND UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH THE OTHER PASSENGER DOOR YOU CAN NOT REACH THE LOCK. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT LOOKS LIKE ALMOST ALL THESE CARS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

2008 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THEN LIGHTS GO OFF MOMENTARILY AND COME BACK ON. OTHER MOTORISTS FOLLOWING CANNOT DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT I AM ACTUALLY BRAKING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. THIS FAILURE HAS YET TO CEASE AND IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AS IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REFUSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

DOOR AJAR ALARM SOUNDS WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS ALSO STOPS THE DOOR LOCKS FROM LOCKING WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE. THE DOME LIGHT WILL COME ONE AFTER ALL DOORS ARE SHUT AND THE DOORS ARE LOCKED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT OTHERS HAVE COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

PONTIAC 2008 G6 3,368 MILEAGE POWER STEERING ERROR, THEN TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. 4/25/08 PHONED DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED REPAIR FOR 4/28/08. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP ON 4/27/08. 4/28/08 DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED TWO BROKEN WIRES IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR HARNESS. THEY INDICATED THAT SOMETHING HAD SEVERED THE WIRES AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. WHY WOULD TWO WIRES BE LEFT UNSHIELDED FROM THE ELEMENTS? THE DEALERSHIP VIA MY REQUEST RECEIVED AN ONE TIME CUSTOMER GOODWILL WARRANTY APPROVAL. I HAD THE MECHANIC SHOW THE AREA IN QUESTION. HE HAS REINFORCED THE WIRES WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. IT APPEARS TO BE A GREAT REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE MANUFACTURE DID NOT DO THIS ORIGINALLY. ERROR CODES PO722, COOOO AND PO700. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DESIGN WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS. AND COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE WIRING IS SEVERED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR
