I was entering the highway on the on ramp, just at the end of the ramp and merging on I heard what sounded like a gun shot go off and then had shattered glass flying into my face. I was just about at highway speeds. I was able to safely get to the shoulder and stop. I inspected what had happened and found that my sunroof spontaneously exploded on me. Glass was everywhere, including all over me. When I entered the highway there were no cars in front or behind me, or on the highway when I was merging, therefore, no rocks could have hit it. The sunroof was closed at the time. A county sheriff pulled up behind me shortly on the shoulder. He stated he had never seen anything like this. I brushed the glass off of me the best I could and proceeded to drive slowly on the highway with my 4 ways on to the closest dealership, trying not to get a glass shard in my eye. When at the dealership they stated they had never seen anything like this. They also informed me that in the garbage they throw engine blocks on top of sunroofs to try and shatter them and they never do. I was also informed that this was not covered under warranty and insurance doesn't pay for this. I had to pay for replacement or be unable to drive my car in the rain or the snowy winters in Wisconsin.

Electrical spasms. All gauges(including speedometer and tac) flake out, bounce around, go to zero. Traction control shuts down. HVAC electrical goes out. No way to see out windshield as defrost will not work when this occurs. Warning lights come on an off and on again etc. This can occur when driving or stationary, you never know when it will occur. Very unsafe and relates very well with recall already made by GM on 05/15/2014 for 2007 G6 but not for my G6"?? how??" I have been fighting this for many years and can't get them to take care of it properly. Dealer did actually fix one problem once when the blower fan would come on whenever it felt like it even when the car was off, key out of the ignition, doors locked, and us walking away. Needless to say we had a few dead battery instances. Actually had a dealer and GM involved. Dealer wanted to have a blank check to continue to do diagnostics after having see the problem and extracted 17 error codes from the vehicles computer. They couldn't figure it out, asked GM who had no idea, and wanted me to let them diagnose with no limit. Unbelievable. Many reports of the same problem can be found on the internet.

Front drivers side factory headlight (left side) became hazed over when car had low miles and had always been stored inside. Car has always been kept very clean! noticed many other Pontiac G6S' having the same exact issue.
