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?

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).

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.

Brake lights are on when driving down the road and the foot is not on the brake and then the brake light goes off when braking. Also the electronic power steering is not working sometimes when starting the car. I turn it off and restart and it works. It has also kicked off a couple of times when driving down the road. Based on your website the issues are listed for the Pontiac G6 Saab and Chevy Malibu. But based on my VIN # it's not included. In checking with GM they did the brake light recall back in 2014 on this car but the problem is back again and they show no recall on this vehicle for the power steering issue. The power steering is a real safety issue along with the proper functioning brake light. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Brake lights come on without application of brake pedal and do not come on when brake pedal is applied. Recall 13036 has been applied...same problem seems to have resurfaced. Can happen in motion or stationary; any road/driving conditions.

Takata recall - the left dim headlamp gets so hot that it melts the wires and the bulb connector cause the headlamp to only work sometimes or not at all. This happens when ever the lamp gets to hot whether parked, or moving.

Brake lights are intermittently staying on continuously or not working at all. My VIN shows no recalls, however when I search online, I find the recall as a safety issue. This is occurs while I am driving

The headlight connector keeps making the headlight go out more then it stays on....I think it's a poor setup the way it is connected in the car....we have replaced the connector several times and still having this issue!

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 Pontiac 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.

Left front headlight keeps going out. Once in a while it will come on briefly then go back out. Had the headlight tested, it's not the light, its the electrical. Further investigating this matter online, I found this is a very common issue with these vehicles, yet, no recall has been made available yet. Very disappointed in GM, and will take serious thought into ever purchasing another GM vehicle. This has been an on going issue for months for myself. Needless to say, this is not a cheap fix.

2009 Pontiac G6 - I was driving my usual route, on several city streets and eventually on a highway, on my way to work when I was stopped in my office by my co-worker. I was told that my brake lights were doing something weird and crazy. She went on to say that as she was behind me, that I must have been riding my brakes all the way until I came to a red light and stopped. My brake lights went off while applying them coming to a stop then back on when driving. So basically while driving, my brake lights are on constantly and when I apply them, coming to a stop, they come off. I had no idea this was going on with my brake lights and I feel completely unsafe as I was driving home. I drive 30 minutes / 30 miles (one way) to and from work each day. Thank you for your time.

"takata recall " I have been haing issues with the drivers side low beam going out, had it changed several times and service place said it will continue to go out as the wires are melted and burnt and would need to be a rewired. I also having issues while driving the dash lights all go out and then come back on, feels like it loses the power steering and then goes back to normal but happens several times through out the day while driving. Dash lights, radio everything goes off, the exterior lights stay on but not inside.

Intermittent brake lights working in reverse

The door locks keep locking and unlocking on their own and now the back passanger door lock stopped working. My brake lights stay on when I'm driving and the bad light keeps coming on but my garage can't figure out why, they said there's no reason for it.
