2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET HAS GOTTEN OVERHEATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE PLASTIC HAS MELTED AWAY CAUSING THE LIGHT TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. I REPLACED THIS SOCKET MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE ALSO MADE SURE THAT ALL GROUNDING POINTS WERE CLEAR AND WORKING PROPERLY, WHICH THEY WERE ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE DATE I HAVE PROVIDED IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IF YOU GO ONTO THE INTERNET AND DO A GOOGLE SEARCH IT COMES UP INSTANTLY WITH COUNTLESS ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. MY SISTER OWNS THE SAME VECHILE BUT IS A 2006 AND SHE HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD BOTH LIGHTS FAIL AT NIGHT.

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING AND VEHICLE BECOMES UNTURNABLE UNTIL CAR IS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON.

LOW BEAMS HAVE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. THEY STARTED TO GO OFF ONE AT A TIME AND WOULD COME BACK ON IF I BANGED ON THEM..HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.. I NOW DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH HIGH BEAMS ON SINCE THOSE ARE THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT WORK.

WE HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ALMOST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS DUE TO WIRING 'BURNING' AND CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE ACTUAL LIGHT BULBS THEMSELVES ARE FINE. IT IS THE CONNECTION TO THE BULB THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS FIRST NOTICED WHEN STARTING THE CAR WHILE EVEN HAVING HEADLAMPS SET TO AUTOMATIC, THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP. SOMETIMES ONCE YOU START DRIVING, ONE LIGHTS UP WHILE THE OTHER REMAINS OUT. HIGH BEAMS, FOG LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE FINE.
