Headlamps & taillights burn out every few months. Technician at GM dealership said it is occurring in numerous GM vehicles. It is an electrical issue that causes the bulbs to burn out. Since it is an electrical issue that sends too much power and causes burning wires, I am afraid this will eventually start a fire. I should not have to switch these bulbs out constantly. I am also surprised I have not been pulled over or in an accident yet due to non functioning tail lights or headlamps. Nor should I have to pay to get this fixed when it is clearly an issue with the construction of the car. I am currently at 45,000 miles and I am no longer under warranty. I sent an email to GM (which I can forward you if need be) and a week later I saw that a recall was issued about headlamps/tail lights. A GM dealer searched my VIN number and my car did not come up under said recall. I tried to call GM today and waited for 20 minutes on hold and then was disconnected. I refuse to do this again.

I get in my car put the key in the ignition and start my car, I then put the car in drive and get going about 35/40 and the door locks start going up and down by them self. Later that day I open my door and get in my car without the key in the ignition and the door locks start to go up and down again on there own. I have contacted the dealership I purchased the car from and they tell me my VIN has no recalls. Really "?" this has been going on for a while with the back doors and now they all do it., I think GM needs to fix this and they need to check all pontac G6's for all the recalls they have on these cars.

I was driving down the road being followed by my wife who informed me that as I was driving down the road my brake lights were on but when I hit the brakes my brake lights went off. As days went by it continued to do the brake lighting fault when I noticed that attempting to set cruise control was quite difficult. I'm not sure about you but faulty brake lighting is a serious safety issue. To this day, June 30th 2014 the brake lights are still malfunctioning.

When you are driving either one headlight will go out and then come back on. Then the opposite headlight will go out and then comeback on. Then sometimes both headlights will go out at the same time. I've had people flash their lights at me thinking I am high beaming them when one of my headlights turn back on. I also had a spun bearing in the bottom end of the engine which caused the vehicle to stall while turning at an intersection and almost got rear ended. I also had my vehicle stall for no reason at all. Had my mechanic look at it he came to the conclusion that maybe it was the battery and replaced it. I have also had issues with the door ajar light to where it causes the interior light to come on and stay on. I've had the door sensors replaced numerous times and have not had any issue with the door ajar for a little while now. I've also had an issue with bearings locking up in the air conditioning unit that caused a severe burning smell and caused the car to not want to start. Therefore I believe there is a major electrical problem with the car causing all of these issues.

The rear passenger door lock fails to open at times. Some days it will unlock, others it will not. Upon calling a few dealers I was told that it is the door lock actuator. As this is a safety feature, I feel it is a safety issue when it does not operate properly. I was also told it would cost ~$350 to fix. Again, I feel that this is a safety issue that GM should be made aware of. The only way to unlock that door is to get in the car and reach across and pull the lock up, pulling on the door handle does not pop the lock.

I started the car to leave work and my security light would not shut off. I made a stop at a store and when I restarted the car the light went off. A few days later, my car would not start. All the lights and the radio etc came on but the car would not turn over. I was told shut everything off in my car and put the key in the ignition and turn it but don't actually start it, let is sit like that for 20 minutes and start. I did that and it worked, but I've had to do that a couple time with both of my keys. (I was told I may just have a bad key). I am concerned that this is part of the ignition switch recall for GM. I took it to stykemain in defiance oh on 6/4/14 and was told they cannot find anything wrong.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the contact was informed by another motorist that the brake lights on the vehicle were constantly illuminated. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number 14V252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The part for the repair was unavailable. The dealer was notified and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 08/11/14

While driving, the gas gage and mph needles dropped to zero and the car could not drive forward. There was also an "error" notice flashing on the dashboard. It lasted for a fraction of second but kept doing it about every 20-30 seconds. I realized the theft protection light stayed on after startng the vehicle but when I went out yesterday the theft protection light was not on after starting the car. It came on suddenly while driving and I was unable to get the gas gage to work. It is lasting longer now also. I also noticed the traction control words showed up on the dash board this last time. Conditions were clear and dry. I did read the manual and checked the fuse as recommended. The fuse looks fine and for one whole day after removing and replacing the fuse I did not have the problem but the next time I drove, it was much worse as I mentioned above.

In early may my 2009 Pontiac G6 shut off unexpectedly while reversing in a parking spot. I tested the car in drive also and realized the ignition could be switched off while in gear. I have tried to get GM to repair the faulty ignition but since it has not yet been added to their growing list of recalls, they wont even look at it without leaving the car for a $150 inspection. This is absurd since the part should take 30 minutes to install and costs them next to nothing. I'm sure there are many other vehicles not under the recall that also have the issue. I am disgusted with GM for continuing to neglect responsibility for an obvious problem! I'm not sure what else to do at this point but to seek the help of an attorney.

As I was coming around a turn at my house, I lost all electrical it was like my car shut off. I was close to hitting a stop sign and a house on my street. I did go up the curb. I lost power steering so my steering wheel was harder to turn. Once I got the car stopped my vehicle came back on automatically. At 116,000 miles I drove to ripley and parked my car at work. When I went out to lunch my car would start, but wouldn't move forward. It would only go in reverse and roll backwards. I ended up replacing the transmission and some wires. I don't know if this could be a defect, but it only had 116,000 miles and they are supposed to last at least until 200,000.

I have a 2009 Pontiac G6. When I first bought it I thought it was a GEM after a few months my head lights would burn out a few times a month. After replacing them I noticed the actual wiring was melted. My passenger rear door won't lock or unlock. While driving through a storm my wipers stopped working. My wiper fluid won't come out only makes the sound. My power steering will turn off randomly. Stock radio stopped working. Now my break lights are acting up and won't light. My shifter also has been acting strange. Sometimes it won't shift. Blinkers blew out same time as brake lights. This car is nothing but a hazard.

- Forest City, PA, USA

For approximately 6-8 months my headlights have been constantly going out. I have replaced headlights once a month since it began. This is extremely hazardous since my headlights will go out randomly while I am driving. I figured since the brake recall was electrical, this applies to the whole car, but GM says it does not affect the whole car. I was told that the corvettes are having this same issue and I would need to pay $100 diagnostic fee to be able to move forward. I think electrical issues affect the whole car, but with all the recalls GM is trying to avoid what it can. I'm not a mechanic though. Hopefully if enough people are having this issue GM will be forced to recall.

The car has had significant electrical problems since its purchase. To summarize: I had an ignition fuse repaired in 2009 when the car turned off suddenly while I was driving. Replaced a faulty headlight socket that was melted to the inside housing, have replaced an excessive number of light bulbs in the car, and have also had the power door locks fail. Most recently, remote ignition was not working, but was later fixed after a major repair last month to the power steering. I was driving the car when my power steering failed. Had it towed to a local GM dealership, who said my power steering control module had to be replaced at a cost of $750 dollars. Was aware of a recall for 2009 G-6's for power steering, but dealership seemed to have no information regarding recall. Was told that my VIN was not included in any recalls. Contacted GM, who told us to wait for a new round of recall letters to be distributed. In the meantime, it takes 6 days for the repairs, and only after significant questioning did the dealer admit that parts were hard to find due to the recall. We asked the dealership to let us have the faulty part to pursue action from GM. Dealer told us they had thrown parts away, despite this being against GM protocol. They located our part after we pushed them to investigate (car had been repaired that very morning, parts had not been thrown away), and assessed a $100 core charge. Have been bounced back and forth between GM and dealer since, with no responsibility taken by either party. Most recently, GM said they will not pay for reimbursement, and dealer said the parts they repaired were not recalled so they are not responsible either. As these parts are unlikely to break without cause, and don't need frequent servicing, it's clear that they are faulty. This is a major safety issue. GM needs to reexamine their recall.

On two separate occasions the headlamp wiring assembly failed (first the driver's side, then the passenger's side a few months later). Headlamp wiring on both driver and passenger side showed evidence of high heat (melted wiring and plug) at the rear of the connector in headlamp assembly. Dealership identified this as "normal" for cars with daytime running lights. Car had approximately 57,000 miles at the time.

Left / driver side headlight connections burning and causing the headlight to not work. Wiring has been replaced 2 times.

- Granite Bay, CA, USA

The driver side headlight has been fixed several times over the past two years. The light continues to burn out within weeks. The connectors are burning out also. I am scared to drive at night because I am not sure if the light will go out. I am the 1st and only owner of this vehicle. The interior lighting is also malfunctioning. The lights get low by themselves while driving. The radio monitor goes blank. This is all electrical. Please help! thank you updated 12/1/2014

Recurrent issue with intermittent failure to start when key left in ignition while parked. Not resolved by replacing starter and neutral safety switch. Issue resolves each time when putting in neutral. Dealer service unable to fix after multiple attempts and refuses to try again. Offered discount for new car.

- Harrisonville, MO, USA

2009 Pontiac G6 GT sedan. Intermittent problems with the following for the last year: Brake lights come on when accelerating and turn off when braking (doing opposite of what they should be doing). Cruise control and traction control system both keep going out. Sometimes it's just the cruise control, other times the traction control system turns off first which in turn disables the cruise control. Whenever the cruise control starts going out, the brake lights start malfunctioning soon after. I suspect this is an issue with the BCM (body control module). Front drivers side headlight keeps going out, but the bulb isn't burned out. Replaced bulb twice. If I smack the plastic headlight cover, the light comes back on. The wires don't look damaged, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem with the headlight.

- St. Charles, IL, USA

My headlight on the passenger side of my car continually goes out even with a new bulb. New bulbs last maybe two weeks and then the light shuts off, and will turn on only if I hit the light. I have spoken to several other G6 owners and they have had the same issues with the passenger side headlight. I have a 2009 G6 GT with approximately 118K miles. This issue has been going on since approximately 85K-90K miles.
