Both headlight connectors melted.

- Jackson, NJ, USA

I own two 2009 Pontiac G6 vehicles. Both of the connectors in the headlights of each vehicle have melted and need to be replaced. One has been fixed and the other is waiting to be fixed. They happened at different occasions. This seems to be common with these vehicles and the manufacturer is not taking responsibility for the problem. Please make others aware. I also had a problem with motors for the door locks on both cars going out at the same time. Thank goodness that was under warranty.

Intermittent very hard up shifts (including changes from park-drive etc), cruise flys off and stops working while going down road, speedometer stops working and flickers randomly, car flashes "power steering" on radio panel and "error" on odometer read, hard turning, car loses power as it revs to realize it needs to shift (automatic transmission) initially, restarting car would help for awhile, but now the problem is consistent. GM dealership could not diagnose problem and thought it was loose wiring. After not being able to trace the communication errors the dealership simply gave it back with no fix or answers. Major issue considering the car has only 36500 miles to date with an issue clearly other Pontiac G6 owners have had to deal with as well. The inconsistent issue has contributed to a recent car accident.

My low beam passenger head light stopped working and I go to have it replaced and it still won't work. We have tested the bulbs and the sockets and they are fine. Can't seem to get it figured out anywhere!

Cruise intermittently stops working at speed on the freeway. Brake lights randomly stay on when brakes are not applied.

- Parma, OH, USA

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

When driving vehicle brake lights remain illuminated constantly, when the brakes are not applied. Also cruise control is inoperative.

My headlight went out about 3 weeks ago I replaced it and then it went out again and had someone look at it and was told the wiring was melting which I had the same thing happen on the driver side last year and had a friend replace the wiring. Contacted Pontiac and they said I have to get diagnostic testing done.I have noticed this on alot of these types of vehicles.

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.

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.

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.

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.
