I WAS DRIVING UP AN INCLINE ON I-287 IN NJ WHEN MY RPM'S SKYROCKETED AND BY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AS FLASHED. MY CAR BEGAN LOSING SPEED AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL DUE TO A LOSS OF TRACTION. UPON A VISIT TO MY MECHANIC IT WAS FOUND TO BE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THE G6 FROM 04-10 HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM BUT YET GM HAS FAILED TO MAKE A RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THE SITUATION. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT NARROWLY. IF MY CAR HAD STALLED LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE READ ABOUT WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR

WE HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS SHORTING OUT AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM GOING OUT. WE REPLACED FUSES FOR REAR RUNNING LIGHTS 4 TIMES. I WAS PULLED OVER BY LOCAL POLICE AND HAD TO BE PICKED UP TO GET HOME, LEAVING THE CAR AT POLICE STATION UNTIL I COULD DRIVE SAFELY IN DAYLIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULB 3 TIMES. THE LOW BEAM LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY WORK AT TIMES. NOW, AGAIN IT IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. I HAVE READ EXCESSIVE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH 2009 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

LOW BEAM LAMP PASSENGER SIDE OUT. NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER I. BOUGHT A NEW SYLVANIA BULB. TWO WEEKS LATER OUT AGAIN. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH G6; GM & MORE THAN LIKELY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX IMMEDIATELY. I JUST BOUGHT CAR FROM DEALER & ON SSDI; THEREFORE, HAVE NO MONEY TO EVEN PURCHASE ANOTHER BULB LET ALONE HOUSING, CONNECTOR STUFF ETC.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUR OF VEHICLES; SEE CARFAXS ON THIS MODEL. ALTHOUGH MY CARFAX WAS CLEAN I NOW THINK THIS IS WHY CAR SOLD BY OLD OWNER. *TR
