NHTSA — Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 is starting to have the same problems as previous model years, including the headlights blowing out due to bad connectors.

The wiring harness connections aren't a big deal to replace, as long as your dealer or mechanic doesn't charge you an arm & a leg to "diagnose" the problem.

I have a 2009 pontiiac G6. The front rotors warp and the whole front end shakes. I had them cut a couple times and I only got about 8000 miles before they warp again. So I bought new rotors and the same thing happened again.so its not the rotors its the way the car is built.

I have a new 2009 Pontiac G6 and the brakes squeak terribly. Many mechanics have said this is dust causing this. I do not agree. There has to be something wrong. I have had many other vehicles and this does not happen. Pontiac should be responsible for correcting this issue. It is a total nuisance. How do I know the brakes will not go out. They did not squeak when we test drove as if it did, I would have never made the purchase. I am very dissatisfied with this new car.
