Wires Are Melting On Headlights

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.

2/10/14 left head light inoperable. Tech diagnosed lamp connector had melted. Had to replace headlight assembly, harness and connectors. This was not covered under my extended warranty (which cost mega bucks) so this was an out of pocket expense. GM should be responsible for reimbursment of this cost to me seeing that this is a serious problem. It should be recalled.

I purchased a new bulb but didn't resolve problem. So I don't know if it is an easy fix or not. Should I put silicone in the connector or replace the wiring harness.

The wiring on g6 is not the right gauge. GM step up and take care of these problems.This is not your 1st cars you have made. Remember quality before the name goes on, or do you think your too big for complaints to affect you? Watch out for that.
