While accelerating, "service traction control" warning lights up and transmission shifts roughly. Warning message usually goes off after a short time or when vehicle is turned off and restarted.

"takata recall" I have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter. The air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly. The ab light continuously blanking the words "needs to be serviced" and I've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.

The passenger side low beam headlight continuously goes out due to the wiring shorting out. I discovered the burn after replacing the passenger lowbeam bulb several times. The headlight socket has been replaced twice. The wiring has been replaced. The light will work for one day and go right back out due to something burning out the wire. This is a safety issue and has become a common problem amongst the G6 line. A recall and fix should be provided.

My headlight burned out on the driver's side of the car. I replaced it and it lasted about two weeks and then burned out again. Found the socket melted and burned up real bad. I replaced the headlight socket assembly and it worked for about a month and then would come on only when I slammed the hood (sometimes.) and then stopped working for good. The bright light on the driver's side of the car worked fine up until then, but soon after went out so I replaced that bulb and socket assembly with no result. Neither bright nor dim light works on driver's side. I can't figure it out. No one can tell me why it's doing it, and none of the mechanics I've been to have any idea why the headlights aren't functioning properly (at all.) it's frustrating. It's dangerous. And it has cost me more money than lights should ever cost a person. I haven't driven the car in months because I'm tired of getting pulled over. It sucks and I still am paying on this car and can't even use it. I hate Pontiac. GM needs to shutdown. Never been satisfied with a GM vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the brake lights remained illuminated on the vehicle. The brake lights would disengage when the brake pedal was depressed with great force. The failure was intermittent. The dealer diagnosed that the pedal position sensor needed to be replaced. The contact believed that the diagnosis was incorrect because the pedal position sensor had been replaced two weeks prior to the diagnostic test. The vehicle was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 14V252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the brake lights would remain illuminated while driving after the recall repair was performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Ever since I purchased this car the headlights never stay on. It's either one or the other, no matter how often I replace them, one goes out. It's dangerous for me to drive with my child in the car with one headlight. I've had it "fixed" several times, even the wiring. Despite my attempts, I still always only have one headlight.

Takata recall for about a month now my vehicle has been randomly dying. I was on the highway when suddenly everything locked up I couldn't stop, couldn't brake, the engine seized and I was unable to restart the car. The steering wheel was moving in both directions by itself, then locked up. I had to get out and push the car into a safe place and was unable to re-start it.
