2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

REPLACED BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHT BULBS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. REPLACED ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT TO DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE OUT- NEW BULBS- WIRING HARNESS MELTED, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLE SUCH AS HOT FACEPLATE TO RADIO; INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES; AND SHIFTER BOX. RECENTLY THE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE RADIO MESSAGE AREA. ADDITIONAL ISSUE ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEREIN ANOTHER DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT I HAD NO WORKING REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON U.S. 30 TO GREENSBURG, PA AND I WENT ON TO THE OFF RAMP ON TO WEST PITTSBURGH STREET AND THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY LIGHTS LIT UP. I LOOK DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE WHAT GOING ON. THEN, MY CAR JERKED SUDDENLY BACKWARDS I HIT MY HEAD TWO OR THREE TIMES OFF THE HEAD REST. I HIT THE ON STAR BUTTON TO REPORT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO VERIFY THE CODES AND TOLD THEM THE SITUATION. THE ON STAR PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME IF I NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. SO, I DROVE TO THE HOSPITAL THAT WAS 1/4 MILE AWAY. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A HEAD INJURY AND RECEIVED TREATMENT FOR NECK AND BACK INJURIES. *TR

HAD THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE FAIL. HAD THE CAR FIXED. CALLED PONTIAC TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALLS ISSUED EARLIER IN 2014 PERTAINING TO OTHER 2008 PONTIAC G6S RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CARS PRODUCED BEFORE AND AFTER OURS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT NOT OURS. MADE PONTIAC AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER OF 71-1341653151. NOT SURE WAS TO WHY OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. ANY HELP THAT COULD BE PROVIDED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR
