2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY BRAKE LIGHTS STICK OR REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT BEING PRESSED MAKING IT APPEAR THAT IM RIDING MY BRAKES. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE ONCE ALREADY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH TWICE AND IT WORKS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ONLY. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL IN THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS BUT IT IS STILL OCCURING IN THE NEWER MODELS. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF CAR. THIS IS JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS ARENT WORKING CORRECTLY. AS WELL AS THE CAR GETTING STUCK IN PARK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DISENGAGED WHENEVER THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE AUTO SHOP MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE MECHANIC STATED THE BRAKE SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

LEFT FRONT CONTROL ARM BECAME VERY LOOSE AND MUST BE REPLACED. OWNER WAS NOT AWARE OF DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC DURING OIL CHANGE. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. TOOK TO A GARAGE, CODE C0545 WAS FOUND, GARAGE RE-CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM. THEN ON 2/4/2012 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN AROUND. THE WHEEL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND VIBRATES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL ON STRAIGHT ROAD HAS PLAY IN IT ALSO ONCE THE POWER STEERING IS GONE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION, AND MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR PERIODICALLY. *KB

IN 2010 I PURCHACED A 2009 PONTIAC G6. I HAD IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND MY HEAD LIGHTS BURNED OUT. I THEN GOT A NEW ONE AND IT BURNED OUT AGAIN THEN THE OTHER SIDE DID THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN REPLACING IT I SEE THE SOCKET WAS BURNED AND MELTED. TO THIS DAY I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS EVERY COUPLE WEEKS AND THEY GO OUT ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I WORK MIDNIGH, SO ITS VERY DANGEROUS. I ALSO HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CHATCH ON FIRE. THE CAR IS A 2009 PONTIAC G6 SADAN HERE IS THE LINK TO SEE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO SEEN MANY NEW G6 CARS ON THE ROAD WITH ONE HEAD LIGHT OUT AND THERE BRAND NEW.I WOULD HATE TO SEE THEM CATCH ON FIRE OR SOMEONE GET IN TO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED A TICKET FOR IT WHICH I HAD TO PAY BECAUSE PONTIAC DIDNT BUILD IT RIGHT. I CLICK UP ABOVE BECAUSE THE SOCKET WAS MELTED WHICH TELLS ME THERE WAS A FIRE.THERE ARE OVER 100 WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

LOW BEAM BULB HOUSING KEEPS BURNNING UP. I HAVE ELECTED TO REMOVE THE FUSE AND NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT. *TT

DRIVER SIDE LOW-BEAM BURNED OUT.. I CHANGED IT.. TWO (2) DAYS LATER THE LIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN.. I CHANGED THE BULB AGAIN AND NOTICED THE PLUG-IN WHERE THE BULB GETS PLUGGED INTO LOOKED LIKE IT SHORTED OUT THERE.. IT WAS BURNED.. I PUT THE NEW BULB IN AND TWO TO THREE DAYS LATER, IT WAS OUT AGAIN.. BOTH TIMES THE BULBS DID NOT LOOK LIKE THE BURNED OUT... I AM TIRED OF TAKING THE HEADLIGHT OFF OF THE CAR TO CHANGE THE BULBS.. I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN THOUGH, SO WE DON'T GET A TICKET FOR HAVING A LIGHT OUT..SOMETHING NEEDS TO DONE ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM...
