Was told my brake lights were not working. Pulled in my garage to check brake lights. Looked like they were staying on. Pressed brake peddle and they went off, after 5sec they came on and stayed on until I pressed the brake peddle then they went off. If I press the peddle off, on, off, on and don't wait 5sec the lights work but if I don't press the brake peddle for about 5 sec the brake lights come on and stay on. Also have bin having a problem with the cruise control. Will not engage because the brake lights are stuck on. Thank you

G6 Pontiac 09 driver side headlite goes out had replaced and went out again.

- Staugustine, FL, USA

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.

My driver side light was replaced twice, went to my garage and they replaced the connectors. Now as of 3/15/13 my passenger side light was replaced twice and while driving it goes off and comes back on constantly. This also resulted in getting pulled over by a policeman and failed inspection. As soon as I left to go home from the dealership the light came back on.

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.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the headlights were continuously burning out due to the bulb becoming overheated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the connector burned and as a result, the head light assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 74,000 and the current mileage was 74,599.

Problem 1 approximately 3 months ago, my left headlight stopped working. Replacing the lamp would seem to fix the problem for a few days, but it would then start and stop working intermittently, then go out altogether. The lamp was not the problem. I was able to resolve the problem on my own by splicing in a new lamp plug connector, after searching for the problem on the internet. It has worked without problems for the last couple months, but I can only hope that my "fix" has really addressed whatever the problem was. This problem is discussed at great length on internet forums, and clearly is common with this car. Intermittent headlamps would certainly seem to me to be a safety issue worthy of a recall. Problem 2 today, I noticed the cruise control would not engage. As I drove along, I tried tapping the brakes, and found the cruise would engage for a few seconds and then go off again. A second drive (at night) confirmed that the car's brake lights were coming on at random and staying on. Tapping the brakes would make them go off, but they come on again a few seconds later. The car is not safely drivable in this condition, which is unresolved. Again, a quick internet search revealed that this is another very common problem with this car. It also appears that a recall actually exists, but for only a tiny number of cars, when this clearly affects the entire model range. This car has only 82,000 miles and I can't drive it safely because none of the lights work correctly. GM should be forced to recall this model to fix the lighting problems.

I have had some issues with the headlights going out. The right low beam headlight went out around 2 weeks ago and it went again two days ago. I have also had the left headlight go out also. Also my interior lights wont go off after starting the car and turning the car off for around 30 mins. And the alarm went off by itself also. I had to get the keyless key and turn off. No one was around the car when it went off. I have all kinds of error messages apear on my display that are no concern after checking them out. My main concern is my headlights going out. I consider this a major safety concern. I have both lights go out and had to run the bright lights to get home after dark. Please do a recall GM !!

I owned my car a little over a year when the driver side headlight went out the first time. I have had to replace it numerous times over the years. In the past 4 months I had to replace the same headlight 3 times. The last time it burned out after one day. I called the dealer to see if there was a recall on the headlights and was told no. I have an appointment to have the harnesses on the headlights replaced. The dealer said GM will only pay half after I said I went on line and found pages of similar complaints. There should be a recall on the headlights. I have spent quite a bit of money on bulbs and to have them replaced. Now they want me to pay half of the repairs even though this is a common defect on the G6. I read that the 2010 models were changed.

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.

Brake lights illuminate without the brake pedal being depressed. When the brake pedal is then depressed with lights already illuminated, they go out briefly and then come back on. This is obviously a serious safety issue as brake lights may go out when the brakes are applied.

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.

- Howell, MI, USA

My brake lights keep staying on even when the brake pedal is not pressed. Went to the dealer and was told it is a common problem for Pontiac G6S. Been to the dealer 3 times in less than a year to get it fixed they just keep replacing the switch but now they say something else is wrong wires corroded. The 2005 G6 had recall for the exact same problem but my 2009 G6 is not on the recall list, same car different year.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the headlights continuously overheated and would burn out. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the headlight wiring pigtail melted, causing the failure. As a result, the assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.

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.

I noticed that the driver side low-beam headlight was out. Went to replace bulb and noticed that the headlight connector itself was melted. The fuse for the light did not fail.

- Verona, WI, USA

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.
