2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

BLOWN HEADLIGHT PONTIAC G6 2009 PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT (LOW BEAM) HEADLIGHT BLEW OUT SEPTEMBER 2013. NEW BULBS WERE PURCHASED AND BOTH BULBS WERE INSTALLED. IN MARCH 2014, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER-SIDE WAS NO LONGER WORKING AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE BULB MANUFACTURER, THINKING IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BULB. I RECEIVED REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT BULBS FROM BULB MANUFACTURER ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2014. SECOND SET OF BULBS WERE INSTALLED ON FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014. BY MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2014, THE PASSENGER-SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WAS NO LONGER WORKING AGAIN. IN SEARCH OF ANSWERS AS TO WHY THE BULB WOULD STOP WORKING SO QUICKLY, I CONTACTED THE BULB MANUFACTURER AND SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. THEIR POSITION IS THE PROBLEM DOES NOT REST WITH THEIR PRODUCT. I ALSO CONTACTED AND SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC AT AUTO SERVICE CENTER WHERE REPLACEMENT BULBS WERE INSTALLED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE HEADLIGHT BULB BLOW OUT MAY BE RELATED TO A PROBLEM WITH BULB "CONNECTOR". I TRIED TO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS IN WRITING REGARDING THIS MATTER ON TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2014. HOWEVER, THE ONLY OPTION WAS VIA A FORM ON THEIR WEBSITE WHICH DID NOT WORK ONCE YOU HIT 'SUBMIT'. I WILL TRY AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER REVIEWED AND RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM OUT OF MONEY FOR THE INITIAL PART AS WELL AS THE LABOR FOR THE INSTALLATIONS. ALSO, MY DRIVE-TIME IS PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO DAYLIGHT HOURS (UNLESS I USE THE HIGH-BEAMS) TO AVOID GETTING A TRAFFIC TICKET; AND THAT IS ASSUMING IT IS NOT A STORMY DAY AT WHICH TIME HEADLIGHTS ARE NEEDED FOR SAFE DRIVING. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO DRIFT AND I WENT TO CORRECT AND THE CAR FLIPPED 4 TIMES. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING LOCKED UP. THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER RIGHT BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I DID NOT GET A TICKET FOR ANYTHING. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE TWO PASSENGERS WERE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND LATER RELEASED WITH MINOR INJURES. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING HEADACHES AND BACK PAIN AND KNEE PAIN. *TR

STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO STEER WHILE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO TURN AND WAS UNABLE TO MAKE COMPLETE TURN DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN STEERING. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK. HEATER ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT WORK. TIRE SERVICE MONITOR COMES ON RANDOMLY. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT DOES NOT WORK MORE OFTEN THAN IT DOES. LOUD, RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKING TURNS. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY (GOT STOPPED BY A POLICEMAN AND WARNED OF A CITATION THE NEXT TIME I WOULD GET STOPPED). I HAD ONE BULB CHANGED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT, BUT THE BULB WAS NOT BURNT. THEN, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A MONTH OR SO LATER THE OTHER ONE WENT OUT. I HAD BOTH WIRING HARNESSES CHANGED AND NEW BULBS PUT IN. RECENTLY, I WAS TOLD I HAD A BURNT HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM AGAIN). I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON THE INTERSTATE TO BE TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE FLASHING (WHILE DRIVING) AND THEN THEY WERE WORKING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE (BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AND OFF WHILE BRAKING). I HAVE SEEN OTHER PONTIAC G6'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IN MY OPINION AS I COULD EASILY BE REAR-ENDED DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. I HAVE READ SIMILAR ISSUES BY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS. WILL RECALLS BE ISSUED FOR ANY OF THESE ISSUES? I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO POUR INTO THIS CAR SO MOST OF IT STAYS BROKEN! SAD CONSIDERING I PAID OVER $26K FOR THIS CAR AND STILL OWE OVER $10,000, YET IT'S WORTH PROBABLY $7,000. I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT WITH THESE ISSUES!!! I WOULD LOVE TO TRAVEL, BUT I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANY LONGER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BEHIND A VEHICLE WHO STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WHEN I BRAKED, A POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ACROSS THE RADIO AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. IT CAN LOCK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING MY CAR. *TR

MY BRAKES LIGHTS DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THEY EITHER STAY ON COMPLETELY OR DON'T COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ALREADY, AND IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO STOP WORKING. MY TRACTION CONTROL IS ALSO STARTING TO COME ON NOW, AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. THE TC LIGHT WILL DING, AND IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION THEN PROCEEDS TO TURN IT OFF. *TR

DURING MY 12 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, WHILE ABOUT 3-4 MILES AWAY, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE, I'M GUESSING SIMULTANEOUSLY. DURING THIS TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT RESET. I CAN DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. I CAN RESET THE CRUISE AT THIS TIME. WITHIN MOMENTS, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AGAIN. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR IN NATURE. *TR

WAS ON THRUWAY GOING 65MPH CAR SHUT OFF FOR THE THIRD INCIDENT IN APPROXIMATE OF A YEAR FROM OTHER 2 INCIDENTS. THIS TIME WAS OR COULD OF BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM DUE TO RATE OF SPEED AND WHERE I WAS DRIVING ONTO AN ON RAMP WHERE I BROKE DOWN.CAR DEALER REPLACED ENGINE CONTROL MODULE #12612397. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I THINK THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALLS GOING ON WITH GM BECAUSE THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. *TR
