2009 PONTIAC G6 Electrical System Problems

There is an immediate loss of steering while driving a 2009 Pontiac G6. The steering wheel locks up making it difficult, at times impossible, to steer the vehicle left or right. The only way to unlock the steering wheel is by placing the vehicle in 'Park' and turn the ignition off to restart the vehicle.

My brake lights are malfunctioning. It has not worked correctly in years. When you press on the brake, the brake lights turn itself off. When not pressing on the brake, my brake lights are on. I reached out to the GM dealership and I told them that the recall was fixed, but the issue is ongoing and poses extreme safety issues. I have gotten pulled over for this. No lights are on my dashboard. I have owned the car since the beginning of COVID and the issue has happened since.

Timing Chain making noise...voltage fluctuations throughout all the car...cruise control will shut off if I got to use wipers or blinkers or even turn on the air system and lights will dim if you use power windows or have the radio up loud.

Power steering goes out when it wants to, will go back on if you turn the car on and off , my safety for me and my daughter was at risk I couldn’t stop to turn it on and off because I wasn’t at a red light , it has not been inspected but it seems like the problem is we’ll known ,theirs a warning message that will pop up on the radio that you can’t hear go on or see until it’s to late

The Body Control Module (BCM) Part number 20943341 malfunctioned. Tried to replace the part at the dealership and was told that the part is no longer being manufactured. Eventually found a new part on eBay and was told by the dealership that they could not re-program the BCM computer. The car is undriveable.

Headlights are burning, melting and charged connections and causing dim lights. These headlights were recently replaced with new OEM healing’s for the second time and each replacement is burning out the connection. Please advise?

My eps keeps going in and out causing steering to be lost .loss of steering .I don't know.as the issue happened there was a display on radio said power steering,service traction control

The car steering wheel gets super loose over bumps. The car shuts off at anytime when driving. I got it check, there’s a unknown problem with electrical system

I have had this car since 2018 and the exterior lighting has been giving me trouble ever since I first got the car. The biggest problem is my headlights. They were first going out every 2-3 months so I kept replacing the bulb. Now it is much worst. I have had various mechanics, family, and friends maintenance the car over the past 5 years. We have tried replacing bulbs and wires but nothing works. The lights go out very quickly. Sometimes both lights will work or only one light will work. I try to smack the headlights for it to come on and sometimes that works. They go in and out when I am driving. Right now, neither of the lights are working and it is becoming dangerous because I have to drive at night and people on the road can have a hard time seeing me because my car is black. I have a traffic citation for this back in December 2018.

Tail lights shine bright and cruise control cuts off it has happened to me going down the interstate

The power steering mechanism stopped working, therefore I cannot turn the wheel. The gear shifter/drive train stopped working, therefore I cannot go into reverse, I am stuck in 3rd gear. It is unsafe because when I go to turn I cannot turn the wheel at times. I have issues braking. All of these issues are recalls on the vehicle. GM states that the recalls were performed seven years ago in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I have no way to verify that information nor any assurances that the parts used weren't faulty. I request new repairs under the recall warnings.

Well, we purchased a 2009 Pontiac G6 in November of 2021. We have been having problems with our light staying on, we were pull over a couple nights ago due to our lights not working. Also, our G6 pulls to the right and tweeters are the only speakers that work. Sometimes the driver door speaker will come on but that's in a blue moon. My step dad looked at my lights and noticed our wires were burnt and so was the connection piece. My fiancé informed me the other day that when he was fueling up, that he had to turn the car off because he heard a weird noise coming from the inside of the gas tank. Also, when we purchased the vehicle the battery was put in wrong and rubbing up against our hood [XXX] near caught our car on fire. Sometimes the car with slowing idle and won't go until I have to put my foot all the way down to the floor. Also, I had all 4 brand new tires put on it and the tire light is still on. Coat me $576.67 for tires because I got the weather, puncture proof and warranty! We have told South Shields Auto Credit in OKC, Ok I believe his name is [XXX] about the lights and he told his actual words "THAT SOUNDS LIKE WIRING PROBLEM AND WE DON'T DEAL WITH WIRING PROBLEMS"!! We took it in to get the light fixed and the lights were working for about 2 days and they quit working again. I Doordash for a living, other than I am a full time student and I have to have my lights to see at night. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have had two incidents when powering steering failed. Luckily I wasn't going fast both times. Problem resolved after restarting car. I took to mechanic and was given a recall number and told to contact the dealership. I made appointment and was told that recall had expired. Apparently this has been an issue with this car for many years but dealership isn't always acknowledging it. The recall was issued before I bought the car therefore I didn't know any info or I wouldn't have purchased it. Since this has been an issue for many years, I feel that the dealership should always repair.

Please reference G.M. Bulletin 14116B or NHTSA recall on this vehicle for a defective Steering Torque Sensor. According to G.M., my car/VIN is not affected by this issue. The fact is it also has the defective Torque Sensor and it has disabled my power steering every winter since new on a cold day. I took it to the dealer when it was still under warranty in 2010, but the problem was not identified at that time so they didn't replace anything. I recently contacted G.M. to allow them to make this right. They told me to take it to a local dealer and have it properly diagnosed and then they could help me. I took it to a G.M. dealer, paid the $150 diagnosis fee. The dealer confirmed it was a defective Torque Sensor. Now G.M. won't call me back and left me hanging. They obviously know this Recall needs to be expanded. Please investigate.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that a friend had alerted him that his brake lights remained illuminated while driving. The contact also stated that the brake lights would go out upon the depression of the brake pedal without warning. The contact then placed some dielectric grease on the brake wiring harness which repaired the brake light connection. The contact also stated that the front driver’s side headlight also failed to operate without warning. The contact applied dielectric grease to the wiring harness however, the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V252000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electronic Stability Control). The contact had spoken with the manufacturer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHEN I LOST POWER-ASSISTED STEERING ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER A FULL-STOP AT A STOP SIGN. SUDDENLY, IT REQUIRED A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 14V153000 EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE CONDITION EXPERIENCED WITH MY VEHICLE: "IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE.

PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT GM OFFER TO RECALL BUT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FOR MY CAR. MY CAR WAS CLEARLY EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. IT'S A SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALMOST KILLED MY SELF MY SON AND MY UNBORN CHILD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASTOR AND DECIDE TO GO OUT THE FIRST TIME AND CAUSED ME TO GO OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BEING PREGNANT WITH HIGH RISK PREGNANCY MADE STEERING MY CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR OR POWER STEERING WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT IS THE WORST THING GM EVER DID. IT'S PROBABLY CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED EVEN.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND AT THE INTERSECTION THAT I TAKE EVERYDAY ON A BUSY ROAD (BOULEVARD). WHEN I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE CAR WENT STRAIGHT IN THE OPPOSITE LANE WHERE A SEMI TRUCK WAS COMING MY WAY. IF THE SEMI DIDN'T BRAKE FOR ME I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE TODAY. IT WAS ICY AND I SOMEHOW GOT MYSELF BACK IN MY LANE AFTER USING ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS WAS MY CLOSET TO DEATH EXPERIENCE TO THIS DAY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE CAR EVER SINCE THEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE WINTER AND HAS NOT ONLY THREATENED MY SAFETY BUT HAS COST MY POCKET BOOK A LOT OF MONEY. I FIND IT SUSPICIOUS THAT THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR ELECTRONIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FAILURE YET MY 2009 WAS NOT AND IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING OPTION. I'M HOPING YOU GUYS WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT AS IT WOULD BE SIMPLER AND LESS DRAMA THAN A WRONGFUL DEATH LAW SUIT.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST REGARDING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS WITH THIS CAR. MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OUT EVEN WITH ME HAVING IT REPLACED TIME AFTER TIME. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TESTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR AND THEY HAVE COME BACK SAYING THE CAR IS FINE. ALTHOUGH WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT, SOMEHOW A LIGHT COMES ON. EXAMPLES INCLUDE('ESC SYSTEM OFF' LIGHTS, 'SERVICE TRACTION' LIGHTS, 'TC' OFF. THE MAIN ISSUE THAT I AM REPORTING JUST OCCURRED TWO DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE WALMART PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND THE LIGHT ON MY CAR APPEARED 'POWER STEERING OFF SERVICE ESC' MY STEERING WHEEL THEN STIFFENED UP AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. THERE WAS A CAR TURNING RIGHT INFRONT OF ME THAT I ALMOST HIT, BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL. I THEN TOOK MY CAR INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO A PONTIAC OR A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BEING ELECTRICAL IS NOT SAFE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS MODEL AS WELL. I USE MY CAR TO COMMUTE TO SCHOOL AND WORK EVERYDAY AND THIS PROBLEM POSES AS NOT ONLY A SAFETY RISK BUT A INCONVENIENCE TO MY EVERYDAY LIFE. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIACS AND I HAVE NOTICED IT'S A REOCCURRING ISSUE, THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO CUSTOMERS WITH ALL OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO NOT ONLY HAVE THIS CAR FIXED BUT ALSO FOR A RENTAL CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER OF PONTIAC AND I WOULD LIKE ACTION TO BE TAKEN. THANK YOU.

ON THE NIGHT OF DECEMEBER 31, 2018, THE FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING READY TO GO OUT WHEN WE NOTICED THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND ALL THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON AND DIM. PRIOR TO THIS NIGHT, MY SPOUSE NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON AS WELL SO HE REMOVED THE FUSE AS A TEMPORARY FIX SO THAT I MAY GO TO WORK. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLS THAT I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT. IM UNCERTAIN OF THE EXACT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THE RECALLSB I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH EITHER THE IGNITION OR THE BRAKE PEDAL SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TAKATA RECALL. MY PONTIAC G6 2009 HAS A POWER STEERING RECALL BUT THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE IT DOESNT COME IN AS A RECALL WHEN THEY TYPE IN MY VIN BUT IV READ ABOUT THE RECALL, EVERY TIME IT GETS COLD MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT, DOESNT MATTER IF IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR JUST STARTED MY CAR IT RANDOMLY WILL GO OUT, I HAVE A ELECTRIC MOTOR SO I KNOW IM NOT JUST OUT OF FLUID, IT DOESNT HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER TIME ONLY WINTER WHEN IT GETS COLD. WHAT DO I DO? I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I FEEL IT IS WRONG THAT THE RECALL IS THERE BUT THEY WONT FIX IT JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL.

I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WELL, THE DOOR SAYS IT'S A 2009, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES BACK AS A 2010. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SAYS GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 2010'S AS WELL, YET THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS A RECALL ON MY GM VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE JUST ISN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE END OF 2009, SO IT'S CONSIDERED A 2010. THAT IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010. THIS ISN'T SOME SILLY LITTLE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT. THIS IS MY STEERING. I COULD CRASH AND DIE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EXPAND THE RECALL. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS SEEN AND SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS. IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. GM MESSED UP AND SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.

HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT. POOR CONNECTION, BURNING/MELTED HEADLIGHT SOCKET, HEADLIGHT CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. ACTIONS TAKEN, I DIDN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL. BURNT SOCKET LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE HARNESS WASN'T ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE AMPERAGE. I REPLACED THE WIRES RUNNING TO HEADLIGHTS WITH A LARGER GAUGE. REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR. ALL HAS BEEN WELL SINCE, GOING ON 3 YEARS NOW. ANOTHER WIRING ISSUE IS THE INJECTOR/CAN SENSOR HARNESS. IF THIS BECOMES LOOSE IN ANY WAY THE CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, POOR FUEL, LOW IDLE, OR STALLING. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH I HAD NO FAULTS OR CEL. I THOUGHT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS ABOUT TO SNAP. ALL THIS DUE TO A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT WIGGLED JUST A TAD LOOSE.

I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING AND THE HEADLIGHT SOCKETS JUST FOR THEM TO MELT AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED CHEVORLET AND GM MOTORS TO SEE WHY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE??? TONIGHT I DROVE DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD (WE'VE HAD A WRECK ON THIS ROAD EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK) IN VERY DANGEROUS FOG AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT THANK GOD ONE OF MY BRIGHTS WORKED AND I HAD A QUICK REACTION GOING 55MPH NOT EVERYONE WILL AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE CHEVORLET & GM MOTORS KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE AS THEY TOLD ME IN OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. THE WIRES TO MY HEADLIGHTS ARE MELTING I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I'M TERRIFIED THEY WILL CATCH ON FIRE AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOW I AM HORRIFIED THAT ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! WE'RE RECALLING TAKATA AIRBAGS (AIRBAGS PROTECT YOU IN A CRASH) BUT NOT HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT? THAT IS PUTTING EVERYONE'S SAFETY AT RISK. WHY ARE WE NOT TRYING TO PREVENT FATALITIES???!!!!

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE MELTING THERE CONNECTOR MAKINGTHE LIGHTS TO GO OUT RANDOM AND SOME TIMES BLOWING THE LIGHT BULBS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME DAY AND NIGHT IN MOTION OR NOT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND IM DRIVING AS I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AND OTHER DRIVERS CAN'T SEE ME. THE HIGH BEAMS DO WORK BUT THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ANY TRAFFIC AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO NOT BE A BE TO SEE.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO BE "FIXED" AND NOW MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE: LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL, MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEAR OUT OF PARK POSITION. THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN OCCURRING IN 2013. GM SHOULD HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THE "FIX" WAS TEMPORARY, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY DUE TO MY BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL NOTICE AND TAKING MY CAR TO BE SERVICED, I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN. IT TURNS OUT THE MECHANICS AT THE GM DEALER JUST CLEANED THE BCM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO IT, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING BEFORE THE RECALL EVEN CAME UP...IT IS INSULTING THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER THIS A "FIX" AND ENDANGER THEIR DRIVERS, WHEN THEY HAD TO KNOW THAT THIS WOULD ONLY HELP TEMPORARILY. IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE BCM NEEDS REPLACED TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS, AS I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER HAVING REPEAT ISSUES AFTER HAVING THE CAR "FIXED" DURING THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR), AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). WHEN I SMACK THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY COME BACK ON. I SEE THAT OTHER DRIVERS ARE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR POWER STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS, AS WELL AS WITH THE BCM. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NOT PROVIDED A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUES, AND I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR.

THE WIPERS FAILED TO WORK. BUT AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF THE VEHICLE OPERATING THEY BEGAN TO THEN WORK. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WOULD WORK WITH THE WASHERS AND HIGH SPEED ONLY. WHEN THE WIPERS WERE LEFT ON AND THE CAR WAS PARKED, THE BATTERY DRAINED AND WAS DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. THEN THE ENGINE ON TWO OCCASIONS ATTEMPTED TO START ITSELF WHEN SITTING AND NOT ON. ON ONE OCCASION IT SUCCESSFULLY STARTED ITSELF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYED ON.

I PURCHASED CAR NEW IN 2009 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM STARTING WITH EXHAUST SYSTEM JUST WEEKS AFTER I GOT IT. IT HAS HAD 3 RECALLS BUT I MORE ARE DUE. THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND AT ONE TIME ALL FRONT LIGHTS WERE OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD THEM REPAIRED WITH NEW CONNECTOR. CURRENTLY, THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS OUT AGAIN AND A NEW HEADLAMP AND ANOTHER CONNECTOR WAS INSTALLED AND STILL WILL NOT STAY ON. OTHER OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHAT SO EVER. THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 2009 MODELS THAT WERE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE AIR BAG ALERT STAYS ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT ALERT AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAT BELT SENSOR MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY REAR DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THAT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I FEEL THE CAR MANUFACTURER KNEW THESE PROBLEMS EXISTED AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING THESE DEATH TRAPS. WITH ALL THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS, I CAN'T GRASP WHY GM DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THIS AND GET THEM OFF THE RODE. I AND OTHER MOTORISTS ARE NOT SAFE WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING THIS CAR. DO THE RIGHT THING GM AND RECALL ALL 2009 PONTIAC G6 AND MAKE THEM SAFE.

I THINK THAT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO LET THESE VEHICLES STAY ON THE ROAD WITHOUT DOING RECALLS ON THESE DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY FATAL PROBLEMS. FOR YEARS I WANTED ONE OF THESE CARS AFTER THEY CAME OUT AND NOW IT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY. BUT..THAT'S OK!

SEPTEMBER 10, 2014 DEAR NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION & GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, I HAVE BEEN THE CUSTOMER OF TWO GENERAL MOTORS RECALLS. FIRST RECALL NOTICE WAS FOR A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT, IGNITION FIX AND 2009 PONTIAC G6 FOR A BODY CONTROL MODULE CONNECTION TO THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR. I HAD DIFFICULTY WAITING FOR THE PARTS FOR THE CHEVY COBALT. FIRST CALL I MADE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WAS GREETED WITH THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE (FROM THE DEALERSHIP) CALL BACK IN APRIL (MY CALL WAS MADE IN FEBRUARY ? WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER). I CALLED IN MAY, THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR, AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO PUT MY NAME ON A LIST TO CALL ME BACK. I FINALLY CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ? THEY ORDERED THE PART AND CALLED ME BACK AND REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. SO, WHEN THE SECOND RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FOR THE PONTIAC G6, I CALLED THE SECOND DEALERSHIP ? WHERE I FINALLY HAD RESOLUTION TO THE FIRST RECALL. THIS DEALERSHIP IS 30 MINUTES FROM MY RESIDENCE. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP WAS 2 MILES FROM MY HOME.

I'VE HAD PEOPLE FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME THINKING I AM HIGH BEAMING THEM WHEN ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS TURN BACK ON. I ALSO HAD A SPUN BEARING IN THE BOTTOM END OF THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE STALL FOR NO REASON AT ALL. HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO WHERE IT CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO COME ON AND STAY ON. I'VE HAD THE DOOR SENSORS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE DOOR AJAR FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW. I'VE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH BEARINGS LOCKING UP IN THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT THAT CAUSED A SEVERE BURNING SMELL AND CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT WANT TO START. THEREFORE I BELIEVE THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR CAUSING ALL OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BEING FOLLOWED BY MY WIFE WHO INFORMED ME THAT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF. AS DAYS WENT BY IT CONTINUED TO DO THE BRAKE LIGHTING FAULT WHEN I NOTICED THAT ATTEMPTING TO SET CRUISE CONTROL WAS QUITE DIFFICULT. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT YOU BUT FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. TO THIS DAY, JUNE 30TH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STILL MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK FAILS TO OPEN AT TIMES. SOME DAYS IT WILL UNLOCK, OTHERS IT WILL NOT. UPON CALLING A FEW DEALERS I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. AS THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT WOULD COST ~$350 TO FIX. AGAIN, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THAT DOOR IS TO GET IN THE CAR AND REACH ACROSS AND PULL THE LOCK UP, PULLING ON THE DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT POP THE LOCK. *TR

I STARTED THE CAR TO LEAVE WORK AND MY SECURITY LIGHT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I MADE A STOP AT A STORE AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE LIGHT WENT OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER, MY CAR WOULD NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS AND THE RADIO ETC CAME ON BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I WAS TOLD SHUT EVERYTHING OFF IN MY CAR AND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT BUT DON'T ACTUALLY START IT, LET IS SIT LIKE THAT FOR 20 MINUTES AND START. I DID THAT AND IT WORKED, BUT I'VE HAD TO DO THAT A COUPLE TIME WITH BOTH OF MY KEYS. (I WAS TOLD I MAY JUST HAVE A BAD KEY). I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL FOR GM. I TOOK IT TO STYKEMAIN IN DEFIANCE OH ON 6/4/14 AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 08/11/14*LJ

WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS GAGE AND MPH NEEDLES DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE CAR COULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO AN "ERROR" NOTICE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. IT LASTED FOR A FRACTION OF SECOND BUT KEPT DOING IT ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. I REALIZED THE THEFT PROTECTION LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER STARTNG THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I WENT OUT YESTERDAY THE THEFT PROTECTION LIGHT WAS NOT ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. IT CAME ON SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE GAS GAGE TO WORK. IT IS LASTING LONGER NOW ALSO. I ALSO NOTICED THE TRACTION CONTROL WORDS SHOWED UP ON THE DASH BOARD THIS LAST TIME. CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY. I DID READ THE MANUAL AND CHECKED THE FUSE AS RECOMMENDED. THE FUSE LOOKS FINE AND FOR ONE WHOLE DAY AFTER REMOVING AND REPLACING THE FUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT THE NEXT TIME I DROVE, IT WAS MUCH WORSE AS I MENTIONED ABOVE. *TR

AS I WAS COMING AROUND A TURN AT MY HOUSE, I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL IT WAS LIKE MY CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS CLOSE TO HITTING A STOP SIGN AND A HOUSE ON MY STREET. I DID GO UP THE CURB. I LOST POWER STEERING SO MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARDER TO TURN. ONCE I GOT THE CAR STOPPED MY VEHICLE CAME BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY. AT 116,000 MILES I DROVE TO RIPLEY AND PARKED MY CAR AT WORK. WHEN I WENT OUT TO LUNCH MY CAR WOULD START, BUT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE AND ROLL BACKWARDS. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AND SOME WIRES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD BE A DEFECT, BUT IT ONLY HAD 116,000 MILES AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST AT LEAST UNTIL 200,000. *TR

IN EARLY MAY MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE REVERSING IN A PARKING SPOT. I TESTED THE CAR IN DRIVE ALSO AND REALIZED THE IGNITION COULD BE SWITCHED OFF WHILE IN GEAR. I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM TO REPAIR THE FAULTY IGNITION BUT SINCE IT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDED TO THEIR GROWING LIST OF RECALLS, THEY WONT EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT LEAVING THE CAR FOR A $150 INSPECTION. THIS IS ABSURD SINCE THE PART SHOULD TAKE 30 MINUTES TO INSTALL AND COSTS THEM NEXT TO NOTHING. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER VEHICLES NOT UNDER THE RECALL THAT ALSO HAVE THE ISSUE. I AM DISGUSTED WITH GM FOR CONTINUING TO NEGLECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM! I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO AT THIS POINT BUT TO SEEK THE HELP OF AN ATTORNEY. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT I THOUGHT IT WAS A GEM AFTER A FEW MONTHS MY HEAD LIGHTS WOULD BURN OUT A FEW TIMES A MONTH. AFTER REPLACING THEM I NOTICED THE ACTUAL WIRING WAS MELTED. MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A STORM MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. MY WIPER FLUID WON'T COME OUT ONLY MAKES THE SOUND. MY POWER STEERING WILL TURN OFF RANDOMLY. STOCK RADIO STOPPED WORKING. NOW MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE ACTING UP AND WON'T LIGHT. MY SHIFTER ALSO HAS BEEN ACTING STRANGE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT. BLINKERS BLEW OUT SAME TIME AS BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A HAZARD. *TR

FOR APPROXIMATELY 6-8 MONTHS MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS ONCE A MONTH SINCE IT BEGAN. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SINCE MY HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. I FIGURED SINCE THE BRAKE RECALL WAS ELECTRICAL, THIS APPLIES TO THE WHOLE CAR, BUT GM SAYS IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE WHOLE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CORVETTES ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. I THINK ELECTRICAL ISSUES AFFECT THE WHOLE CAR, BUT WITH ALL THE RECALLS GM IS TRYING TO AVOID WHAT IT CAN. I'M NOT A MECHANIC THOUGH. HOPEFULLY IF ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE GM WILL BE FORCED TO RECALL. *TR

THE CAR HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE ITS PURCHASE. TO SUMMARIZE: I HAD AN IGNITION FUSE REPAIRED IN 2009 WHEN THE CAR TURNED OFF SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. REPLACED A FAULTY HEADLIGHT SOCKET THAT WAS MELTED TO THE INSIDE HOUSING, HAVE REPLACED AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF LIGHT BULBS IN THE CAR, AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAIL. MOST RECENTLY, REMOTE IGNITION WAS NOT WORKING, BUT WAS LATER FIXED AFTER A MAJOR REPAIR LAST MONTH TO THE POWER STEERING. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID MY POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $750 DOLLARS. WAS AWARE OF A RECALL FOR 2009 G-6'S FOR POWER STEERING, BUT DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING RECALL. WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. CONTACTED GM, WHO TOLD US TO WAIT FOR A NEW ROUND OF RECALL LETTERS TO BE DISTRIBUTED. IN THE MEANTIME, IT TAKES 6 DAYS FOR THE REPAIRS, AND ONLY AFTER SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONING DID THE DEALER ADMIT THAT PARTS WERE HARD TO FIND DUE TO THE RECALL. WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET US HAVE THE FAULTY PART TO PURSUE ACTION FROM GM. DEALER TOLD US THEY HAD THROWN PARTS AWAY, DESPITE THIS BEING AGAINST GM PROTOCOL. THEY LOCATED OUR PART AFTER WE PUSHED THEM TO INVESTIGATE (CAR HAD BEEN REPAIRED THAT VERY MORNING, PARTS HAD NOT BEEN THROWN AWAY), AND ASSESSED A $100 CORE CHARGE. HAVE BEEN BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GM AND DEALER SINCE, WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY EITHER PARTY. MOST RECENTLY, GM SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT, AND DEALER SAID THE PARTS THEY REPAIRED WERE NOT RECALLED SO THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE EITHER. AS THESE PARTS ARE UNLIKELY TO BREAK WITHOUT CAUSE, AND DON'T NEED FREQUENT SERVICING, IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY ARE FAULTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO REEXAMINE THEIR RECALL. *TR

2009 PONTIAC G6 GT SEDAN. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING FOR THE LAST YEAR: BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURN OFF WHEN BRAKING (DOING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING). CRUISE CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM BOTH KEEP GOING OUT. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST THE CRUISE CONTROL, OTHER TIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TURNS OFF FIRST WHICH IN TURN DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHENEVER THE CRUISE CONTROL STARTS GOING OUT, THE BRAKE LIGHTS START MALFUNCTIONING SOON AFTER. I SUSPECT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE). FRONT DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT, BUT THE BULB ISN'T BURNED OUT. REPLACED BULB TWICE. IF I SMACK THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT COVER, THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE WIRES DON'T LOOK DAMAGED, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT, COULD NOT REPLACE IT, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE DEALER FIXED IT ABOUT A $180.00. THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN IN MARCH 2013, AT FIRST IT KEPT CLICKING AND COULD BE PUT ON AGAIN BY HITTING THE LIGHT COVER BUT THEN FINALLY WENT OUT. THAT LIGHT WAS NEVER FIXED AGAIN UNTIL MAY 2014 WHEN THE STATE INSPECTION WAS DUE, THE FIX LASTED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND NOW THE CAR IS BACK TO HAVING ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK. HEATER ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT WORK. TIRE SERVICE MONITOR COMES ON RANDOMLY. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT DOES NOT WORK MORE OFTEN THAN IT DOES. LOUD, RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKING TURNS. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY (GOT STOPPED BY A POLICEMAN AND WARNED OF A CITATION THE NEXT TIME I WOULD GET STOPPED). I HAD ONE BULB CHANGED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT, BUT THE BULB WAS NOT BURNT. THEN, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A MONTH OR SO LATER THE OTHER ONE WENT OUT. I HAD BOTH WIRING HARNESSES CHANGED AND NEW BULBS PUT IN. RECENTLY, I WAS TOLD I HAD A BURNT HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM AGAIN). I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON THE INTERSTATE TO BE TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE FLASHING (WHILE DRIVING) AND THEN THEY WERE WORKING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE (BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AND OFF WHILE BRAKING). I HAVE SEEN OTHER PONTIAC G6'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IN MY OPINION AS I COULD EASILY BE REAR-ENDED DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. I HAVE READ SIMILAR ISSUES BY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS. WILL RECALLS BE ISSUED FOR ANY OF THESE ISSUES? I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO POUR INTO THIS CAR SO MOST OF IT STAYS BROKEN!

UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED, BUT WHEN SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS ACTUALLY WENT OFF.

WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM THE STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AGAIN AROUND 10 MPH. THE CAR CONSISTENTLY DID THIS OVER A TRIP OF ABOUT 60 MILES. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER, THE ISSUE WASN'T PRESENT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AND LUBRICATED A CONNECTION. THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED 2 DAYS LATER.

2009 PONTIAC G6 LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE: "UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM" AS BEAMS WORK INTERMITTENTLY; MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED LEFT LIGHT BULB, BUT REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALERSHIP AS "THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS CAR." REPLACED LIGHT BULB (REPAIRED (MECHANIC WAS UNSURE, BUT REPLACED ANYWAY) AND LOW BEAMS WORKED A COUPLE OF DAYS, NOW ONE (RIGHT MORE RANDOMLY LEFT), AND SOMETIME BOTH LOW BEAMS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. MY WIFE HAS RECEIVED ONE WARNING FROM POLICE; HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING AGAIN WHEN SHE RESTARTED CAR AFTER THE WARNING. WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY BOTH LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THESE RANDOM FAILURES IN LOW BEAM ILLUMINATION REQUIRES THE DRIVER (MY WIFE USUALLY) TO IMMEDIATELY SWITCH ON HIGH BEAMS. BOTH HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE WORKING AT THIS TIME, BUT THESE EVENTS TEND TO INFURIATE ONCOMING DRIVERS WHO HIGH BEAM BACK AT US, SO BOTH DRIVERS ARE BLINDED. IN MY OPINION, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT ANY SPEED AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN DUE TO RANDOM LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT OUTAGES. THEREFORE, WE USE OF THE G6 IS LIMITED. THOUGH WE LIKE THE MODEL AND HAD HOPED FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS OF USE, MY WIFE DOES NOT TRUST THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AT NIGHT, OR WHEN IT RAINS. I FEEL BAD ABOUT DUMPING THIS CAR ON THE USED/PRE-OWNED CAR MARKET WITHOUT FILING SOME FORM OF OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. FROM A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, THE MANUFACTURER (GM) APPEARS TO BE IGNORING THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS A STATISTICALLY INSIGNIFICANT PROBLEM. SADLY, GM WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL PEOPLE DIE AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS FILED. I WOULD NOT CALL THE PONTIAC G6 A LEMON, IT IS JUST PLAIN TOO SCARY TO DRIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SOLUTION COMING FROM GM AND MY MECHANIC CAN'T FIX IT. THIS SITUATION MAKES THIS VEHICLE USELESS AND UNSAFE HALF THE TIME, I.E., UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED AFTER DARK! *TR

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER.

WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HITTING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME,THEN WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF WHEN I LET UP ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON IF THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR IT IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO HAVE A WREAK AND GET HURT.I THINK THE COMPANY NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE SUES THE COMPANY FOR WRONGFUL DEATH. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND ITS TIME FOR THE COMPANY TO MAKE A RECALL ON IT. *TR

2009 PONTIAC G6 I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO SWITCH ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WOULDN'T WORK SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON SO I WENT BACK AND PRESSED THE BRAKES THEN THEY TURNED OFF. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN BUT SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL IT COMES ON BUT TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF. BUT IF I HIT THE BRAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL WORK AGAIN FOR A SECOND THEN TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I DRIVE BUT WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS THEY TURN OFF. IM ONLY WRITING THIS BECAUSE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET AND I SAW THAT YOUR COMPANY STARTED AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ON THE HIGHWAY IT'S HAPPENING NOW ALL THE TIME. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE SO I'D RATHER GET THIS FIXED NOW. PLEASE HELP. THANKS! *TR

I HAD SOMEONE FOLLOWING ME HOME THE OTHER DAY AND WHEN WE ARRIVED THEY ASKED ME WHY I KEPT PUTTING ON MY BRAKES AND LETTING OFF. I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. WE CRANKED UP THE CAR AND STOOD BEHIND IT AND WATCHED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF WITHOUT ANYONE EVEN SITTING IN THE CAR. I GOT IN AND STARTED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WHEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. WHEN I LET OFF OF THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED SEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR G6'S. IN MY OPINION AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN GM NOT BE TAKING ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TALK THEY ADVERTISED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE NEW G6? GM NEEDS TO STAND UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING HERE BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT OR DIES DUE TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THESE BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE LOWBEAM WENT OUT, REPLACED BULB AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN, INSPECTED WIRING HARNESS AND NOTICED IT WAS CHARRED AND MELTED, AND THE WIRING NEAR IT WAS ALSO CHARRING AND INSULATION BURNING OFF. REPLACED WIRING HARNESS, BULB WENT OUT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER, INSPECTED NEW WIRING HARNESS AND NOTICED IT WAS MELTING AGAIN. SUSPECT SHORT AS EVEN THE WIRES ARE GETTING VERY HOT, HOWEVER NO FUSE HAS BLOWN TO DATE. CONCERNED ABOUT SUDDEN LACK OF VISIBILITY AT NIGHT AND ABOUT FIRE RISK. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING, SOON AFTER THAT SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON MOST OF THE TIME, ONLY GOING OFF OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE TESTED IT, AND YOU CAN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WATCH THE LIGHTS GO FROM OFF TO ON WITH OUT TOUCHING THE BREAK PETAL. (THEY STAY ON) I AM GOING TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE TOMORROW. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I KNOW THIS PROBLEM IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

G6 PONTIAC 09 DRIVER SIDE HEADLITE GOES OUT HAD REPLACED AND WENT OUT AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN BRAND NEW. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR DOOR LOCKS WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS. MY 3-YEAR-OLD NIECE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS ACTUALLY LOCKED OPEN! SO WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SHUT THE DOORS AND DRIVE UNDER "SAFE" CONDITIONS. I HAD TO BUNGEE-CORD THE DOORS LOCKED AND DRIVE TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. THE LOCKS HAD RESET AND THE DOORS WERE ABLE TO CLOSE. THEN IN 2010, MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKED SHUT ON ME! I WASN'T ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. AFTER 2 HOURS THE DOOR LOCKS RESET. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TO THE REAR DOOR. THIS TIME, I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ALL THE DOOR LOCKS AND THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE ONE SINCE THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. IN 2011, I HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WHETHER THE DOORS WERE LOCKED SHUT OR LOCKED OPEN. EVERY TIME I WOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THE LOCKS WOULD RESET AND THE PROBLEM WAS LEFT UNDIAGNOSED. IN FEBRUARY 2013, MY FIANCE HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO HIS LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC GOT LOCKED INSIDE MY VEHICLE! THEN IN MAY 2013, I WAS WITH MY NIECE AGAIN AND THE REAR DOORS AND DRIVER DOOR LOCKED OPEN! I GAVE THE CAR SOME TIME TO RESET, AND THE DOOR UNLATCHED AND CLOSED. BUT THEN IT GOT LOCKED SHUT! SO I DROVE MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS WITH THE DOORS LOCKED SHUT. I HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND ENTER/EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE LOCK MECHANISM WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT NEEDED REPLACED FOR $400 EACH BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY! SO I CALLED GM. THEY SAID THE DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT RECALLED, THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. PONTIAC IS VERY WELL AWARE OF THE DOOR LOCK ISSUES, AND SO IS- THE MECHANIC. THESE ARE FAULTY LOCKS! *TR

IN MAY 2012 THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT SO WE REPLACED IT WITH A BRAND NEW LIGHT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS (JUNE 8TH), I WAS DRIVING IN INDIANA WHEN I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN. WE AGAIN REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT AND SINCE THEN IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE HEADLIGHT IS OUT, THEN MOST OF THE TIME, IT WILL TURN ON AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IF THE HEADLIGHT IS ON WHEN I START THE CAR, THEM MOST OF THE TIME AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IT WAS FLASH AND THEN SHUT OFF. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY POLICE OFFICERS FOR THE HEADLIGHT BEING BURNED OUT AND I REFUSE TO BUY ANOTHER HEADLIGHT. *TR

I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. IN AUGUST OF 2011, MY LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT BEGAN TO WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL IT NO LONGER WOULD ILLUMINATE. I REPLACED THE BULB IN THE HEADLIGHT, AND IT WAS BACK TO WORKING AS IT SHOULD. A MATTER OF SIX OR SO MONTHS WENT BY AND THE RIGHT LIGHT BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM UNTIL IT WENT OUT. I REPLACED IT AS WELL, HOWEVER, WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED, ALTHOUGH INTERNET RESEARCH SEEMS TO SHOW A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTOR. *TR

CONTACTED PONTIAC AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO GET DIAGNOSTIC TESTING DONE.I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON ALOT OF THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES. *TR

VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON EXCEPT WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, THEN IT GOES OUT. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT IT HAS HIGH POTENTIAL IF A SUDDEN STOP IS NEEDED THERE WILL NO WARNING FOR THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING OURS. *TR

I HAVE REPLACE THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE HEADLIGHTS (PIGTAILS) ON BOTH SIDE OF THIS PONTIAC FIVE TIMES NOW. THE CAR SENDS TOO MUCH ELECTRIC CURRENT TO THE LIGHT BULBS THAT OVER HEATS THE PIGTAILS AND MELTS THEM. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO THE G6'S. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESS AND GM SHOULD DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS BEFORE THE CARS CATCH ON FIRE. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR RESPONSE WITH THE WORD "PONTIAC" IN THE SUBJECT LINE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE REPORTED THIS. PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ON 12/31/2011 I WAS PULLED OVER FOR A BURNT OUT HEADLIGHT. UPON REPLACING THE BULB I NOTICED THAT THE SOCKET WHERE THE BULB PLUGS IN WAS MELTED. I PUT A NEW BULB IN AND IT WORKED FOR 3 MONTHS. WHEN THAT WENT OUT IN MARCH OF 2012 I REPLACED IT AGAIN. NOW IN AUGUST OF 2012 THAT BULB BURNT OUT. THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE MELTED HARNESS AS THE BULB THAT BURNT OUT WAS MELTED SLIGHTLY WHERE IT MADE A CONNECTION TO THE SOCKET. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE THAT GOES WELL BEYOND MY VEHICLE AS A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. WHEN THE LIGHT BULB BURNS OUT AT NIGHT IT PUTS EVERYONE AT A SAFETY RISK WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I REPLACE THE BULB FROM 2 DIFFERENT AUTO STORE AND STILL NOT WORKING. THEN MY DAD LOOK AT THE CONNECTOR LOOK AND SEEN THAT 1 OF THE WIRES WAS BURNED OUT. SO I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO GMC AND SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT SINCE I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER TELLING SERVICE DEPT MY ISSUE AND WHAT I THOUGHT WAS WRONG; I GET HIT WITH A $89 DIAGNOSE IT FEE THAT I HAD ALREADY HAD TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY CALLED AND LET ME KNOW THAT MY CONNECTOR WAS BURNED OUT AND NEED TO REPLACE THEM IN ORDER THE LIGHT TO WORK AND IT WASN'T COVERED THRU MY EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I HAD TO PAY $290 TO GET FIX. AFTER GOOGLE THIS ISSUE LOOKS LIKE THIS A ON GOING ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT I THINK SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE GET SHORTAGE DUE TO BURNED OUT WIRING. I DON'T HAVE THE VIN# AND MILEAGE LEFT PAPER WORK AT HOME. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS STICK OR REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT BEING PRESSED MAKING IT APPEAR THAT IM RIDING MY BRAKES. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE ONCE ALREADY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH TWICE AND IT WORKS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ONLY. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL IN THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS BUT IT IS STILL OCCURING IN THE NEWER MODELS. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF CAR. THIS IS JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS ARENT WORKING CORRECTLY. AS WELL AS THE CAR GETTING STUCK IN PARK. *TR

IN 2010 I PURCHACED A 2009 PONTIAC G6. I HAD IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND MY HEAD LIGHTS BURNED OUT. I THEN GOT A NEW ONE AND IT BURNED OUT AGAIN THEN THE OTHER SIDE DID THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN REPLACING IT I SEE THE SOCKET WAS BURNED AND MELTED. TO THIS DAY I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS EVERY COUPLE WEEKS AND THEY GO OUT ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I WORK MIDNIGH, SO ITS VERY DANGEROUS. I ALSO HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CHATCH ON FIRE. THE CAR IS A 2009 PONTIAC G6 SADAN HERE IS THE LINK TO SEE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO SEEN MANY NEW G6 CARS ON THE ROAD WITH ONE HEAD LIGHT OUT AND THERE BRAND NEW.I WOULD HATE TO SEE THEM CATCH ON FIRE OR SOMEONE GET IN TO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED A TICKET FOR IT WHICH I HAD TO PAY BECAUSE PONTIAC DIDNT BUILD IT RIGHT. I CLICK UP ABOVE BECAUSE THE SOCKET WAS MELTED WHICH TELLS ME THERE WAS A FIRE.THERE ARE OVER 100 WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE STATING I HAD NO TAILLIGHTS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN AND REPLACED. WITHIN ABOUT 3 WEEKS THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN. HAD IT IN TWICE SINCE AND THEY STILL CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. KEEP IT A FEW DAYS AND RESEND THE CAR OUT. I HAVE CHECKED IT OUT AND IT SEEMS THAT WHEN IT BLOWS IT IS IN AUTO MODE AND WHEN AUTO LIGHTS COME ON. THEY SAID NO CONNECTION AND LEAVE IT AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY IF WE LOSE TAILLIGHTS AT NIGHT WE COULD BE REAR ENDED. ALSO I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF HEADLIGHTS. KEEP BLOWING OUT. AND SECOND SET OF TIRES. *TR

I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT.MY ANTI THEFT SYSTEM KICKED ON WHILE DRIVING. I PARKED MY VEHICLE 5 MINUTES LATER FOR 20 MINUTES AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT WOULDN'T CRANK. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURENCE. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME, BUT LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO MY OWN DRIVEWAY. I HAD JUST DRIVEN FROM COLUMBUS,OH. A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER TRYING TO RESET MY SYTEM (BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ANTI-THEFT DEVICE) I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER. AS IT TURNS OUT MY NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE HAD BROKEN. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE CORD. THE MECHANIC HAD TO DO SOME RE WIRING. I JUST THANK THE LORD THAT MY CAR DIDN'T CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WAS ON THE ROAD AND THE ANTI THEFT LOCK SYMBOL APPEARED JUST BEFORE ALL MY DASH GAUGES WENT WACKY. I DIDN'T HAVE SPEEDOMETER AND THEN NO ODOMETER SO I PULLED OFF ROAD AND SHUT OFF CAR BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE COULD HAPPEN. CAR WOULDN'T RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. WIRING HARNESS WAS THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS THAT REPAIRED MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN AFTER FIX BECAUSE REMOTE START INTERRUPTED AND WOULDN'T WORK AND WAS TOLD REMOTE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 29,000 MILES. *TR
