2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I KEEP HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRING TO THE LOW BEAM BULB THE PLUG KEEPS MELTING I'VE REPLACED THE PIGTAIL TWICE STILL THE SAME PROBLEM WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO IT GOTTEN ME PULLED OVER PLUS ITS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT. SINCE THE TIME THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT OUR CAR WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE PIGTAILS AND ALL THE WIRING. WE REPLACED THE BULB EVERY FEW WEEKS FOR IT TO ONLY BURN OUT A FEW DAYS LATER. NO ONE CAN TELL US WHY THIS PROBLEM CAN NOT BE FIXED. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSAND OF COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS AND EVEN FIRE AND MELTING OF THE HOUSING. I AM CONSTANTLY PULLED OVER DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WITHOUT PROPERLY WORKING HEADLIGHTS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILL SOMEONE BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED ILLUMINATING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

LESS THAN A MONTH AGO I REPLACED MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. THIS WEEK IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT ABOUT THREE TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. I CHANGED THE FUSE FOR THE HEADLIGHT AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. TWO DAYS AGO MY TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT WORKED IN THE MORNING AND STOPPED WORKING IN THE AFTERNOON. AFTER FINDING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS ONLINE I'M NOT SURE HOW GM CAN NOT BE RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN PULLED OVER AND TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CITED THE NEXT TIME. I AM AFRAID THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT BEFORE I CAN GET THE PASSENGER SIDE FIXED. OH YES AND MY LOCK CHAMBER ON MY PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR HAS GONE OUT. I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR FIXED WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, I AM ON A TIGHT BUDGET AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER $300 FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS. APPARENTLY THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE G6. I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR (THAT IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD MIND YOU) AT NIGHT! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. I REPLACED AND A WEEK LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I REPLACED THAT ONE AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. BOTH REPLACED BULBS WERE NOT BURNT OUT. THE LOW BEAMS BOTH WORK WHEN I REMOTE START MY VEHICLE. ONCE I GET IN AND TURN ON THE KEY WITH THE VEHICLE ALREADY RUNNING, THE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT THIS IS A WIRING PROBLEM AND A FIRE HAZARD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD, BUT INTERMITTENTLY WORKING HEADLIGHTS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF RANDOMLY GOING OUT. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ISSUES WITH HEAD LIGHTS HAVE BURNT OUT THE HARNESS AND WILL NOT STAY RUNNING EVEN WITH REPLACING BULB AND NEW HARNESS AND BLOWING A CELL IN THE BATTERY TO I HAVE NO RUNNING HEAD LIGHTS. *TR

HEAD LIGHT HARNESS BURNS OUT AND HAVE REPLACED 2 TIMES AND CAN NOT GET IT TO STOP BURNING OUT SO I HAVE NO HEAD LIGHTS WITH THIS CAR PLEASE HELP IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE ON THIS CAR. *TR

THIS IS ON MY DAUGHTER'S CAR. I WAS FOLLOWING HER AND I NOTICED SHE WAS DRIVING WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I MOTIONED HER TO PULL OVER AND ASKED HER WHY SHE HAD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE. SHE SAID SHE WAS NOT DRIVING WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED, BUT WHEN SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS ACTUALLY WENT OFF. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY GM. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND STAYED ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. UPON GOING OUT, THEY WOULD COME BACK ON IN UNDER A MINUTE. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE SENSOR CASING. IT WAS RESEALED AND PROBLEM STOPPED. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD RESISTANCE IN BCM CONNECTORS. THEY CLEANED AND LUBE THE TERMINALS IN BOTH BCM CONNECTORS AND RESET BPP SENSOR. YET I WAS CHARGED THIS TIME EVENTHOUGH IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE REPORTED. THE SERVICE DEPT REP SAID IT WAS A DIFFERENT FIX AND THEREFORE NOT THE SAME. I KNOW THIS MUST BE A DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE READ OTHER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2009 PONTIAC G6 WITH 90,000 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR A 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS BEFORE I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. IT ALL STARTED MESSAGE SAYING "CHECK YOUR GAS CAP". I WOULD PULL OVER AND CHECK GAS CAP IT WAS VAPORIZED. I OPENED AND RECLOSED THIS WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE IT TAKES 15 MINUTES TO GET TO FROM HOUSE TO TOWN. WITHIN 10 MINUTES MY GAS TANK WOULD WAD UP LIKE A PLASTIC BOTTLE AND WHEN I WOULD TURN CAR OFF AT WORK YOU COULD HEAR IT UN FOLDING. THIS WENT ON FOR 2 DAYS THEN ON THE 2ND TIME MY CHECK ENGINE CAME ON I CALLED AND TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO ME. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CARBON CANISTER IT WAS GOING TO COST 700.00 TO FIX. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO I DROVE FOR A FEW WEEKS LONGER THEN MY CAR WAS DIE WHEN YOU GO TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS OR SLOW DOWN. BOTH TIMES SEMI TRUCKS WERE BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME IT DID I CALLED MY HUSBAND CRYING SAID I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH ME OR MY SON IN IT. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOOK TO THEM TO BE FIXED THIS WAS IN SEPTEMBER. THEY KEPT THE CAR A WEEK CHANGED CARBON FILTER AND FIXED SPEED CABLE THIS WAS MAKING THE CAR DIE. I GOT MY CAR BACK DROVE FROM DEALERSHIP AND STARTED TO DRIVE HOME WHEN I NOTICED CAR STILL NOT FIXED IT WAS SAYING I HAD NO GAS SO PUT GAS IN AND IT SAID I HAD 183 MILES WORTH OF GAS BY THE TIME I GOT HOME I HAD 134 MILES OF GAS LEFT. I HAD CALLED DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT SO IN LESS THEN 24 HOURS TOOK MY CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT A WEEK SAYING GAS TANK NEED TO BE REPLACED SO THEY REPLACED IT AND REPLACED CARBON FILTER AGAIN. NOW THE CAR WORKS FINE JUST WANDERING HOW LONG BEFORE IT ACTS UP AGAIN. I CALLED PONTIAC HEADQUARTERS IN ALL THIS TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY. *TR
