2008 PONTIAC G6 Exterior Lighting Problems

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.

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 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.

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....

THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET CONNECTOR IN THE HEADLIGHTS OVERHEAT AND MELT ...SO THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF...I HAVE REPLACED THEM SO MANY TIMES..AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!!! I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IT HAPPENED. VERY SCARY!!!! IT IS A BAD DESIGN. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. THEY ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I STOP WHICH HAS ALOMST GOTTEN ME REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT CANNOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO IMPORPER WIRING AND IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE ONLY TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT GO BELOW 3RD AND IS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING CAUSING ACCELERATING PROBLEMS, WHEN DRIVING IN GENERAL, AND AM UNABLE TO KEEP A PROPER AMOUNT OF GAS BECAUSE ITS BURING THROUGH DUE TO THIS. I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE BREAKS AND HEADLIGHT ARE ALWAYS A PROBLEM WHETER DRIVING OR IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY!

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON. GOING OVER A BUMP DURING DRIVING KNOCKS THE LIGHT OFF AND SHUTTING THE HOOD OR TAPPING ON THE HEADLAMP MAY TURN IT BACK ON. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS BOTH LIGHTS MAY GO OUT. WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING CONNECTOR INSIDE THE LAMP CASE COULD MELT FROM THE HEAT OF THE LIGHT BULB.

Mileage: 107,465

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.

Mileage: 5

MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON. WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THEY HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. I REPLACED THE SWITCH UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DID NOTHING. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I'M DRIVING OR SITTING STILL.

Mileage: 95,000

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!!

Mileage: 125,000

WHEN I'M DRIVING AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF, AND WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES AND DRIVE THEY TURN ON. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, I COULD GET REAR ENDED!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) PRIOR TO HER OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUPERIOR CHEVROLET CONWAY (1275 EXCHANGE AVE, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 932-5121) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH AND FRONT WHEEL DRIVE AXLE SHAFT SEAL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST TURN OFF FOR NO REASON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY.

MULTIPLE TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND HARNESS CONNECTION SECTION BURNS OUT NEEDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HARNESSES AND BULBS.

Mileage: 110,000

I NOTICED THAT MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I PURCHASED A NEW ONE BUT UPON INSTALLATION, I NOTICED THAT THE OLD ONE DID NOT VISUALLY APPEAR TO BE BAD. I REPLACED IT ANYWAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME ONE WAS OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED IT FOR CONNECTION PROBLEMS ETC AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS OUT AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO, I WAS UNLOCKING MY DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE DOOR AND NOTICED ON THE GARAGE DOOR THAT BOTH LIGHTS WERE WORKING; HOWEVER, WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR IT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF UNTIL I UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE FOB AGAIN.

Mileage: 112,000

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.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS FOR YEARS. I BUY LIGHTS EVERY 3 WEEKS, THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WAS STOPPED BY COPS & GIVEN A WARNING. NOW NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING (HIGH R LOW) DON'T COME ON. JUST DEVASTED DEALERSHIP WILL CHARGE $700 THAT I DON'T HAVE NEED HELP ARE ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO. I SEE A LOT OF PONTIAC CT VEHICLES WITH ONLY ONE LITE WORKING ?????? DRIVING IN THE DARK COMING HOME FROM WORK.....

Mileage: 75,000

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ALMOST EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I TOOK IT TO AN ELECTRICIAN. HE REPLACED A PIECE IN THE WIRING, THEN THE OTHER HEADLIGHT, AS SOON AS I FIX ONE SIDE THE OTHER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. I KNOW IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR ALMOST 8 YEARS THIS MAY. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT NOW. I LOVE THIS CAR, IT RIDES GREAT, BUT THIS HEADLIGHT SITUATION IS FRUSTRATING.

Mileage: 15,000

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POWER STEERING. WHEN I START THE CAR, IT ONLY WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO TURN HE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR 3-4 TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. IF IT GOES OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING, I COULD EASILY GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. MY SEAT BELT SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. IT BEEPS AND DINGS AT ME WHILE I'M DRIVING, VERY DISTRACTING...MAKES ME JUMP WHEN I'M CONCENTRATING ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HEADLIGHT 3-4 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. THE HARNESS WAS ALL MELTED WHEN THE MECHANIC GOT IT OUT. NOT ONLY IS IT ILLEGAL FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT ALL LIGHTS WORKING BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. ALSO, I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS...THAT THEY MAY NOT LIGHT WHILE BRAKING, OR ILLUMINATE WHILE I'M NOT BRAKING. IT SAID NOT TO TAKE IT TO BE FIXED IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN POSSIBLY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE REAR ENDS ME?

Mileage: 132,000

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.

HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT

Mileage: 89,000

BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHEN CAR IN MOTION, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF WNEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.CAR WAS IN FOR RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. DEALER SAID, CAR MUST BE HAVING THE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO FIX. SOMEONE MUST BE FOLLOWING TO SEE THIS PROBLEM. THE DRIVER CAN'T SEE THE BRAKE LIGHTS FROM INSIDE WHILE DRIVING.

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.

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 2008 THAT ONLY HAS 83,500 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO THE TRACTION LIGHT TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS AND THAN WENT OFF . THE LAST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT 2 WEEKS AGO THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON EVEN WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE AND DO NOT TURN OFF UNLESS I TURN OFF THE CAR. AND I ALMOST FORGOT I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS CAP MY ENGINE LIGHT KEPT ON TURNING ON SO I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE DIRECTLY FROM THE DEALER AND I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. ITS LIKE NEVER ENDING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE FAILURES OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

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

Mileage: 70,000

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.

Mileage: 50,000

HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS) BEGAN TO FLICKER BEFORE COMPLETELY GOING OUT A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED THE BULBS AND CHECKED THE FUSES. EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE A FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE. REPLACED BOTH HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES. SIX MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF BUT WITH BOTH LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS. BOUGHT NEW BULBS AGAIN AND THEY ONLY SURVIVED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE GOING OUT COMPLETELY. SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD AND INCONVENIENT DRIVE-TIME CONSTRICTION, CONSIDERING THAT I HAVE TO PLAN MY DRIVING AROUND DAYLIGHT HOURS AND HOPE IT DOESN'T RAIN. I BELIEVE IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS CAUSING THE ISSUE DUE TO POOR DESIGN OF WIRES BEING TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND CAUSING A SHORT. FOG LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS STILL WORK CONSISTENTLY.

WHILE DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I AM 'DRIVING' AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I AM BRAKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE , AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND THEY FIXED IT . WELL IAN STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR . AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT . THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.

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.

SEVERAL WEEKS BACK, I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY (MAYBE 35MPH) ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY BREAK LIGHTS APPEARED TO STOP WORKING. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN SOMEONE FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, (I DID NOT SWITCH LANES OR STOP ABRUPTLY), ANOTHER VEHICLE HONKED AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP BEHIND ME AND THEN FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. LATER THAT DAY I CHECKED ALL MY LIGHTS AND THEY APPEARED TO BE WORKING. I CHECKED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER AND THEY SEEMED TO BE FINE. I NEVER TOOK THE CAR TO BE FIXED, AND I KNOW MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALLS. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS A BIG ISSUE UNTIL I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WHERE OTHER PONTIACS HAVE RANDOM BREAK LIGHT FAILURE.

DRIVING ON THE FWY AND SUDDENLY ALL OF MY HAZARD LIGHTS START TURNING ON AT ONCE. MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, NOT EVEN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE LAST WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. COULD IT BE THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN? I THINK NOT, I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY POWER WINDOWS. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING A SHORTAGE.

CONTINUOUS MELTING OF HEADLAMP WIRING HARNESS / CONNECTOR CAUSING LOSS OF FRONT ILLUMINATION. MELTING OF CONNECTOR IS NOT SPECIFIC TO EITHER DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AS IT HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH SIDES. MELTING CAUSES COMPLETE FAILURE OF FRONT ILLUMINATION UNTIL CONNECTOR IS REPLACED. REPLACEMENT OF HEADLAMP DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM UNTIL CONNECTOR IS ALSO REPLACED. FAILURE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO VEHICLE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT KEPT GOING OUT, REPLACED IT 3 TIMES IN 1 YR. A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES IT TO GO OFF OR ON. TONIGHT THE DRIVER SIDE IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING. THE HIGHBEAMS WORK BUT NOT LOWBEAMS. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME VEHICLE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE IF HUNDREDS OF 2008 PONTIAC G6 HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY PARTS ARE "MELTED AND MALFUNCTIONING" I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT A RESULT OF MY OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT BEFORE I GOT HOME TONIGHT AND I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING, HAD TO PULL OVER IN A DARK AREA ON THE BACK ROAD (AGAIN UNSAFE), BANGED ON THE HOOD AND ONE CAME BACK ON. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS~~A LAWSUIT AFTER A VEHICLE FATALITY OCCURS? THIS IS A PART/VEHICLE ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PONTIAC TO CORRECT--NOT ME.

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT ON MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND OFF. ON MORE THAT SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE HAD TO HIT MY HEADLIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I'VE REPLACED BULB AFTER BULB AND COME TO REALIZE THAT THE ISSUE IS THE CONNECTOR. THE FACTORY CONNECTOR HAS 3 WIRES AND THE CONNECTOR THAT SOLD IN MY LOCAL AUTO PART STORE HAS 2 WIRES. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT COULD BE ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GOES OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS MELTED. AN INDIVIDUAL INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE BURNT WIRING AND THEN RECONNECTED THE OTHER WIRES. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

Mileage: 52,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS. ON THE SECOND OCCASION, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN COMPONENT HAD MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

MY BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEY GO OFF WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS. THEY WILL COME BACK ON ONCE MY FOOT IS ON THE PEDDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 11 THAT RIDE WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS FIXED TOMORROW BUT WANTED TO COVER EVERYTHING BEFORE HAND, JUST IN CASE.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS AND WHEN CHECKED THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR IS MELTED SO NOW I AM UNABLE TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT ALL AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS. HIGH BEAMS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT AFFECTED. I THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER GM CARS BUT FOR SOME REASON MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AND NOT SURE WHY IT ISN'T.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. REPLACED IT, WENT BACK OUT WITHIN A WEEK. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON WEBSITES, AND IT SEEMS THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT NO RECALL. WHY? REPLACING BULBS IS COSTLY, AND NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS WHEN YOU THINKS YOU HAVE HEADLIGHTS AND DON'T. ALSO CAUSE FOR POLICE TO PULL U OVER. WHY HAS GM DONE NOTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS?

Mileage: 70,100

I HAVE CHANGED MYDRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT 3 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER, EVERYTIME IT'S CHANGED IT BLOWS WITHIN 3DAYS. ON MY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE IT TODAY 7/24/15, I NOTICED THE WIRE HARNESS IS MELTED.WHILE RESEARCHING PARTS AND COST FOR REPAIR I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DRIVERSIDE HEAD LIGHT WIRE HARNESS MELTING. I WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED, IM SURE ITS A FIRE HAZZARD AND I WOULD HATE TO BE DRIVING AND MY CAR CATCH FIRE WITH MY BABIES AND I IN THE CAR.

I HAVE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES IN APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AND ITS OUT AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN A WARNING FOR DRIVING WITH IT OUT BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING IT OR TO REPLACE WHATEVER IS CAUSING IT. I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM SO WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED?

IT WAS CALLED TO MY ATTENTION AT A GAS STATION THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMPS ON MY PONTIAC G6 WERE NOT ON. I WAS TRAVELING & AWAY FROM HOME AND FELT IT NECESSARY TO SEEK REPAIRS ASAP AT A REPAIR FACILITY IN THE AREA . AFTER CONSIDERABLE EFFORT WE FOUND A REPAIR SHOP WHO RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT. AFTER A CONSIDERABLE EFFORT, WELL TOO MUCH IT SEEMED, TO ACCESS THE HEADLAMP BULBS HE GAINED ACCESS AND DISCOVERED THE WIRING WAS BURNED TOO BADLY FOR REPAIRS AND INFORMED US THIS WAS A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE DONE BY A PONTIAC DEALER.AND THERE WAS LIKELY A RECALL IN EFFECT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT CITY WE CAME TO WE ASKED FOR DIRECTIONS TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO MIGHT BE WILLING TO ATTEMPT REPAIRS. THIS SHOP SPLICED IN SOME NEW WIRING AND A NEW CONNECTOR AND THE LAMPS WERE ONCE AGAIN BURNING. HOWEVER THE REPAIR LASTED ONLY 90 DAYS AND AGAIN IT WAS FOUND TO BE BURNED WIRING. IN TALKING TO OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS 'THE NATURE OF THE BEAST" AND SOMETHING MOST OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. THIS FAILURE MAKES THIS CAR UNSAFE FOR ANYONE,,PARTICULARLY MY WIFE OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO OPERATE.

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES AND SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SENT IN RECALL NUMBERS 14V252000 AND 14V224000. ALSO, THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED. *JB

WE OWN A PONTIAC G6. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER WE HAD RUN A CARFAX REPORT AND IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE FOR OUR FAMILY TO DRIVE. WE HAD A FRONT HEADLIGHT BURN OUT. (HIGH AND LOW BEAMS) WE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE AN EASY FIX TO MAKE, AND WE WOULD JUST BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT BULB. IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE WHEN OUR MECHANIC FOUND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ELECTRICAL WIRES WERE BURNED TO A CRISP. (IT APPEARS THAT THE HEADLIGHT LIGHTING IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT.) THE ENTIRE REPAIR COST FOR ONE HEADLIGHT WAS $361.00 AFTER DISCOUNT. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAVING A RELIABLE LIGHTING SYSTEM ON A VEHICLE IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. WE ALSO LOOKED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ISSUE WE WERE HAVING AND NOTICED THAT QUITE A FEW SIMILAR VEHICLE OWNERS (AT LEAST 24) HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THE VEHICLE MAKER NOT REQUIRED TO PLACE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? PONTIAC'S ANSWER, ACCORDING TO OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS, IS FOR THE OWNER TO PAY THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THAT SHOULD BE THE CASE. WE BELIEVE THAT PONTIAC SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND CORRECT THE ENGINEERING DESIGNERS FLAWED DESIGN AND ISSUE A RECALL.

BAD CONNECTIONS IN HEADLIGHT MELTED RIGHT OFF AND DAMAGED HEADLIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

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. MAKE GM FIX THIS NOW!!! *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT , I REPLACED IT 3 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. I THEN GO ON THE INTERNET AND GOOGLE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY G6. THERE WAS OVER 500 THOUSANDS RESULTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME . SO WENT TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT AGAIN AND LOOKED FOR ANY CORROSION, UNPLUGGED MY HEADLIGHT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BLOWN AND IT WASN'T , I PLUGGED THAT SAME HEADLIGHT BACK IN AND IT CAME ON. I CALLED GM , AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED AT MY COST. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM! *TR

THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONTACTED THE DEALER SO THE CONTACT COULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 07/2013 WITH APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE GROUND CONNECTOR ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS MELTED AND THE LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK. THE CONNECTION WAS CLEANED AND THE BULB WAS REPLACED. THE HEADLIGHT AGAIN WENT OUT AROUND 10/2014 WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET HAVING ADDITIONAL MELTING AT THE BULB CONNECTOR AND CORROSION ON THE WIRES. THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET WAS REPLACED. IT STOPPED WORKING LESS THAN 1 WEEK LATER. THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET HAS BEEN MELTED AND BOTH THE SOCKET/BULB NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT BULBS ARE MELTING AT ELECTRICAL CONTACTS CAUSING FREQUENT BULB FAILURE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT, NOT ONLY WAS THERE DAMAGE TO THE BULB'S ELECTRICAL CONTACTS, BUT THE WIRING HARNESS ITSELF HAD MELTED. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY NO LONGER MADE THE PART AND I WOULD HAVE TO "SPLICE" IN THE HARNESS FROM THE GMC ARCADIA. I DO NOT FIND THIS AS AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION AS THE SPLICED POINTS WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL ALSO. FURTHERMORE, WHAT NORMAL CAR OWNER CAN OR SHOULD DO THIS THEMSELVES? *TR

BOUGHT A USED 2008 PONTIAC G6 ONE WEEK AGO. IT HAD AN OPEN RECALL--13036. THIS WAS A BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION WHICH COULD ALSO AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL (DISABLING THEM). ALSO POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WERE BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN ACCELERATING AND GOING OFF WHEN BRAKING. THIS ALSO AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SHIFTER. HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE TODAY, OCTOBER 3, 2014.

HE TOLD ME THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NOT A FIRE THAT STARTED, THAT IS HOW BAD THEY WERE MELTED. I HAD TO REPLACE WIRING HARNESS AND GET NEW BULBS, WHICH COST ME $400.00. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUMS AND I AM SCARED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE MAY 14, 2014 RECALL REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE MAY 2012, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS FAILED TO OPERATE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BULB, SO I REPLACED IT. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, THE BULB QUIT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE BULB AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS. IN NOVEMBER OF 2013, I WAS REPLACING A BULB AGAIN AND NOTICED THE BULB SOCKET AND WIRING WAS STARTING TO MELT. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD MANY REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING, BUT THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR IT NOR WAS THERE A RECALL. PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I DECIDED TO BUY A BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ($200.00) AND SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY DID THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE OLD ONE. I COULD NOT GET A REFUND BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE. I THEN DECIDED TO TRY AND REWIRE THE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT TWO BULB SOCKET/WIRING ASSEMBLIES FROM MY DEALER. THIS DID NOT WORK EITHER, AS THE SOCKETS/WIRING STARTED TO SMELL LIKE THEY WERE BURNING, JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT HAS NOW BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS SINCE THIS STARTED HAPPENING, AND I AM STUCK WITH A CAR WITH ONE OPERATIONAL HEADLIGHT AND HAVE TO LIMIT MY NIGHT DRIVING TO VERY SHORT TRIPS. I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. THIS HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

ON MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP BULB SOCKET MELTED CAUSING THE NEED FOR THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT AROUND 37,000 MILES. THE CAR LIGHTING IS OEM. NO AFTER MARKET BULBS OR HEADLIGHTS. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS OR IF IT COULD LEAD TO A MORE CATASTROPHIC ELECTRICAL FAILURE OR FIRE.

ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS HAD BURNT OUT SO I CHANGED IT. A MONTH LATER, THE SAME HEADLIGHT BURNT OUT AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT IT HAD GOTTEN SO HOT IT MELTED THE PLASTIC THAT HELD THE BULB. I TOOK IT TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. I WAS TOLD NO, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE BRINGING THEIR CARS IN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I NOTICED TODAY, ONE OF THE BREAK LIGHT BULBS THAT IS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK LID WAS BLOWN. IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING AS THE HEADLIGHT, IT HAS GOTTEN SO HOT IT HAS MELTED THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE BULB. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THE BULBS SHOULD NOT BE GETTING SO HOT THAT THEY ARE MELTING PLASTIC. I AM AFRAID MY CAR MAY CATCH A FIRE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE ABOUT THIS. *JS

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. SO BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO GET THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FIXED MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION IS ABOUT TO BE SUSPENDED. NOT ONLY WILL I NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE STATE WILL CONFISCATE MY TAGS, I WON'T BE ABLE TO RENEW MY TAGS OR REGISTRATION IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT A SINGULAR ISSUE AND THIS CAR DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

NOW MY HIGHBEAMS ARE DOING THE SAMETHING. I'VE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE AS OF YET.

APPLYING DIALECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONTACTS OF THE BCM SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. AFTER WHICH, THE PROBLEM RESUMES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE I AM DRIVING AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T MIND PERIODICALLY GREASING THE BCM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT THERE IS NO FEEDBACK FROM THE COMPUTER ALERTING ME THAT MY BRAKES LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

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. TO REPAIR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE IS COSTLY. CLEARLY, THIS IS A DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER'S DEFEAT. SADLY, WITHOUT A RECALL, THIS PROBLEM HAS AND WILL RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY UNNECESSARY FATALITIES. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. FOR THE FIRST 30,000 MILES I HAD ZERO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS. THE FIRST WAS THE STEERING COLUMN, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN ITSELF. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND SO I PULLED OVER AND USED MY CELL TO RECORD THE MOVEMENT IT WAS MAKING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A COMPUTER MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN.( AFTER SHOWING THE VIDEO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THREATENING TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NEWS NETWORK) SOON AFTER THE POPPING BEGAN IN THE COLUMN WHILE TURNING. THE MODULE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE "LUBE KIT" FOR THE POPPING IN THE COLUMN HAD TO BE OUT OF MY WALLET TO FIX. ( OH HOW I LOVE THE ASS HATS AT GM ). STILL HAVE POPPING WHEN TURNING. THEN CAME THE RANDOMNESS TO THE HEADLIGHTS WORKING. ( OR NOT WORKING ) REPLACED BULBS IN LOW BEAM ( BOTH SIDES ) SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE NOTICED CORROSION IN CONNECTORS. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY ON. THE LIGHTS BEING ON CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK OR SHUT OFF WHEN LIGHTS ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER CALIPER IS STICKING AND EATING PADS, IM ON CALIPER NUMBER 3 AS OF TODAY WITH COUNTLESS PADS AND ZERO HELP FROM GM WITHOUT HAVING TO FORK OVER LOTS OF MONEY TO FIX A CAR (THAT OBVIOUSLY BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS) WAS HORRIBLY BUILT.

WHEN SPEAKIN WITH THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT ANYTHING IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLIGHT AND ALMOST ALL THE G6 CARS HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEM WITH THIS. LOOKING ON THE G6 FORUM I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE HIM! THIS SHOUDL BE A RECALL!! *TR

UPON THE PURCHASE OF A BRAND NEW PONTIAC G6 IN 2008, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM ABOUT THE 5000 MILE MARK. IT BEGAN WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO OFF AND COME ON WHILE DRIVING. A MONTH LATER STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO KNOCK WHEN MAKING TURNS, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REGREASED THE SHAFT AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THE NOISE. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL NOT HURT ANYTHING AND WILL NOT REGREASE IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL HEAD LAMPS, ONCE ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS AND WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE THEY MELT. THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 AND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE; IT LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT JUST MAGICALLY FIXES ITSELF. I HAD TROUBLE PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK IN JANUARY 2013 AND MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I LEFT IT IN FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CAME BACK OUT. YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2013 THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON. WE HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NONE OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT NOT EVEN A DENT ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE EITHER. MAYBE THEY ARE JUST NOT GETTING TO ME? *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM NHTSA THAT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAD/HAS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHILE ACCELERATING AND TURN OFF WHILE BRAKING. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN MY BROTHER WAS FOLLOWING ME AND ASKED WHY I WAS RIDING MY BRAKES. HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE SAW, AND WE FIGURED OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BACKWARD. THE ISSUE CONTINUED, WITH SEEMINGLY NO PATTERN. AT TIMES THEY ILLUMINATED CORRECTLY AND AT OTHERS, NOT. I TESTED THE LIGHTS OFTEN AND SPEED ALSO DID NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS CHARGED $162.90 FOR A NEW BRAKE SWITCH THAT WAS NOT NEEDED. UPON FINDING THE ISSUE STILL IN EXISTENCE, I CONTACTED THE SHOP TO REQUEST A REFUND, WHICH I WAS ULTIMATELY DENIED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE WITH BRAKE LIGHTS, EVEN THOUGH THEY WITNESSED IT THEMSELVES WHILE MY CAR WAS THERE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. UPON FINDING NO ONE WHO SEEMED TO HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, I FOUND A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE OF A DEMONSTRATION TO FIX THE ISSUE, HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=N7RA7MC_TLO. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FRIEND WHO FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE VIDEO. MY BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING OK AT THIS POINT, BUT AS THE MAN IN THE VIDEO POINTS OUT, THE FIX MAY ONLY LAST FOR 8 OR SO MONTHS. PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE ?FIXING? MY BRAKE LIGHTS, I HAVE SEEN TWO G6?S ON THE ROAD WITH THIS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, OF WHICH THE DRIVERS MAY OR MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN. MY DAILY COMMUTE OFTEN INVOLVES TRAFFIC BACKUPS, AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE, NOR WOULD I WANT ANYONE BEHIND ME UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT I AM BRAKING. I LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING NHTSA REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, AND HOPE TO GET A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

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 HAVE ANTICIPATED A DAY FOR A RECALL TO ASSIST THOSE LIKE MYSELF, WHO LIVE ON A LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT ADDRESS ALL OF THESE NON-DEBILITATING, YET UNSAFE G6 ISSUES, OUT-OF-POCKET. *TR

I REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THEM GO OUT AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, RESULTING IN NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.I CALLED GM WHO NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY A GM DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY WOULD EVALUATE THE SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY SAUERS DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOW BEAM CONNECTORS MELTING AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CONNECTORS AND BULBS REPLACED. I INFORMED GM OF THIS WHO THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS REPAIR COST. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND AM CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE MADE A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS TO HAVE GM REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR COSTS OF $305.08 BUT THEY REFUSE AND NOW WILL NOT RESPOND TO ME. *TR

THE WIRING IN MY HEADLIGHT IS EITHER BURNING OR SHORTING OUT MY LIGHT BULB. THERE IS THE CONNECTOR TO ATTACH THE HEADLIGHT TO THE CAR THAT IS GET HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE PLASTIC.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS STAYING ON/WORKING. MY FIANCE WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND WHEN HE DID HE NOTICED THAT THE WIRES WERE MELTED. APPARENTLY ITS GETTING SO HOT THAT THE WIRES ARE MELTING AND MY HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE BULBS AT LEAST TWICE AND THEY STILL WILL NOT WORK. THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH SIDES AND I'M AFRAID IT MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE.

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN BRAKES NOT APPLIED, TURNED OFF WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED (ACCORDING TO FAMILY MEMBER WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME). PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF, BUT HAS RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR.

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF FOR ~5-10 SECONDS BEFORE COMING BACK ON. OCCURRED AGAIN THIS MORNING - ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE BY DISCONNECTING NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL AND RECONNECTING AFTER ~15 MINUTES TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM WOULD RESET ITSELF, BUT IT DID NOT.

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE PROBLEM I WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY A FAMILY MEMBER AND THEY NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW. 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. I ALSO NOW HAVE SOME INTERNAL DASH AND CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS NOT WORKING AND THOSE ALSO STOPPED THE SAME TIME AS EVERYTHING ELSE. *TR

AFTER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE HEADLIGHT MELTING AND FAILING. CHECKED AND THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PONTIAC G6 PROBLEM. CHECKED WITH PONTIAC AND NO RECALLS ON IT. SAFETY ISSUE, BESIDES NO HEADLIGHT COULD POSSIBLE CAUSE FIRE. *TR

MY HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WAS SMOKING TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT AND SHOP WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT ITS WIRING IN THE HEADLIGHT N ITS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM... NOT SOMETHING THAT THE SHOP COULD FIX. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES OR COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND THE WEB ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BY GM. *TR

LOW BEAM / DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON DRIVER'S SIDE INOPERATIVE DUE TO FAULTY - BADLY CORRODED SOCKET AND WIRING CONNECTIONS. GM HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE AND SELLS REPLACEMENT PLUGS WITH WIRE ENDS AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS ALL VEHICLES BUILT BY GM. A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE SAFETY ISSUES SUCH AS INOP HEADLIGHTS / THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND COSTS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY PONTIAC G6, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME PULLED UP ASIDE MY VEHICLE, INFORMING ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ACTUALLY ON; AND WHILE BRAKING, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. I WAS ALMOST 800 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING PART OF A MULTI-CAR PILE UP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. I ALSO KNOW ANOTHER PERSON WHO IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2008 PONTIAC G6, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE, THEY SHUT OFF ONLY TO COME BACK ON IN A SHORT TIME. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS. CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAD CHANGED THE BRAKE SWITCH THINKING THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOTHING. I THEN BROUGHT IT IN AND HAD IT CALIBRATED. THIS SEEMED TO FIX IT, HOWEVER, NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY STAY ON WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE. MY TRACTION LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN PRESSING THE TRACTION BUTTON. I STRONGLY SUGGEST SOMETHING BE DONE BY GM TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ MANY STORIES LIKE MY OWN ABOUT THE SAME THING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT DRIVERS BEHIND YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE BRAKING AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND BRAKE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AFTER I START THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER I RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN THEY WILL TURN BACK ON, AGAIN WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I NOTICE THIS AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON (I CAN SEE THE REFLECTION OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME). AFTER THIS OCCURRED MOST RECENTLY, I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND THIS ISSUE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, WHICH IS AT LEAST FOUR TIMES PER WEEK. *KB

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST YEAR. I USE IT WHEN IT WORKS AND KEEP IT OFF WHEN IT DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE. IN THE PAST MONTHS, MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT ENGAGED; ONCE I ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AS WELL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED LIGHTLY THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT SHUTS OFF AND THE OTHER BRAKE LIGHTS DIM AS IF THE WERE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. THE LIGHTS STAY LIKE THIS FOR 5 SECONDS AFTER THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED THEN THE BRAKES LIGHTS RETURN TO BEING ON. THE BRAKE LIGHTS FUNCTION CORRECTLY WHEN ALOT OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED. DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL CAUSES LIGHTS TO FIRST GO DIM THEN ACTIVATE. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES EVERY TIME BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON SO CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON DARK ROADS AT NIGHT. WE LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WHENEVER I CAN. THE DEALER HAS CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *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

ON 2/17/09, GM RECALLED 8,012 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES, BECAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY DUE TO CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, BRAKE LAMPS FAILING TO ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE AND GREATER THAN NORMAL BRAKE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. I OWN A 2008 PONTIAC G6 WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I STILL HAVE THE FACTORY WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO THIS RECALL AS THEY HAVE FOUND NO CORROSION IN THE WIRING CONNECTOR. I AM THEREFORE REQUESTING THAT NHTSA REQUIRE GM TO VALIDATE THE CAUSE AND EXPAND THE RECALL TO OTHER YEARS. AS NOTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE, "BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING". THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM WOULD NOT RECALL ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND DETERMINE OTHER CAUSES. THANK YOU. *TR

2008 PONTIAC G6. THE BRACKETS WHICH HOLD THE HEADLIGHTS TO THE CAR ARE INSUFFICIENT. THE HEADLIGHTS BOUNCE, SHAKE, AND WOBBLE OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSING REPEATED PREMATURE HEADLAMP BULB FAILURE AND SAFETY HAZARD FOR VISIBILITY REASONS ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BULBS HAVE BLOWN OUT 2 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED AS NEW IN SEPTMEBER OF 2008. DEALER STATES THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON THE SEDAN MODEL DOES NOT STAY ENTIRELY CLOSED....PUSHING THE WINDOW UP BUTTON, THE WINDOW MOVES 1/4" AFTER CLOSING. *TR
