2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT ON MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND OFF. ON MORE THAT SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE HAD TO HIT MY HEADLIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I'VE REPLACED BULB AFTER BULB AND COME TO REALIZE THAT THE ISSUE IS THE CONNECTOR. THE FACTORY CONNECTOR HAS 3 WIRES AND THE CONNECTOR THAT SOLD IN MY LOCAL AUTO PART STORE HAS 2 WIRES. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT COULD BE ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GOES OFF.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 2 MINS THEN IT WENT OFF. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON LONGER WHEN I START MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY ANYMORE AS THE CAR IS OVER 80,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO WHAT OTHERS HAVE DISPLAYED, THE COST WOULD BE OVER A 1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX.

THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED LOCKED UP WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS IN ST. LOUIS NEAR THE AIRPORT AND GOING LOW SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE LOOK UP. SHE WAS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED WITH THE PROBLEMS AS STATED IN RECENT RECALL OF SIMILAR VEHICLES.. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE NUMBER 10183 WOULD PAY FOR CLAIM IF THE PROBLEM EXISTED AT 150000 MILES HOWEVER NO NOTIFICATION WAS SENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS STEERING UNIT AND I FILL GM SHOULD EXTEND THE RECALL TO COVER ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE NUMBER 10183 APPLIES TO THIS VI

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN BRAKE PEDAL NOT PRESSED, YET MANY TIMES WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON. SCARY BECAUSE I WORRY ABOUT REAR END COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND TURNING MY WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT TO DRIVE FORWARD MY CAR LOST POWER STEERING MAKING IT HARD TO MANUVER MY CAR. THEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND MY POWER STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. SIX MONTHS BEFORE I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND MY STEERING WAS OKAY. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT THEN, BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I RECEIVED A NOTICE THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER. TODAY, I CALLED GM SEE IF I COULD GET MY CAR FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, BUT BECAUSE MY CAR HAD OVER 150,000 MILES THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME. I AM CONCERNED FOR SAFETY AND I BELIEVE GM NEEDS TO LENGTHEN THE TIME FRAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS MELTED. AN INDIVIDUAL INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE BURNT WIRING AND THEN RECONNECTED THE OTHER WIRES. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

ONCE I START MY VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR APPEARS ON THE RADIO SCREEN AND MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. SOMETIMES IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RE START IT THE WHEEL WILL NOT SHAKE FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND IT WILL DRIVE FINE. I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. MY VEHICLE BECAME HARDER FOR ME TO STEER AND THEN IT GOT EASY FOR ME TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A LOW OR HIGH SPEED AND I AM AFRAID I WILL CRASH MY VEHICLE. MY STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME CONTROLLING IT AND IT LOCKS UP ON ME CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE.
