2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT COME ON, WE HAVE YET TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SINCE MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2009. WE WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB AND IT WORKED FOR A DAY OR TWO. WHEN WE WENT TO REPLACE IT YET AGAIN WE NOTICED THAT THE SOCKET THAT THE HEADLIGHT GOES INTO WAS MELTED. WHEN WE WENT IN TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO ASK WHAT TO DO WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUES IN A LOT OF GM VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE HEADLIGHT, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE WIRING CONNECTOR WAS MELTED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE HEADLIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

MY AIR BAG SENSOR TURNED ON IN MY CAR AND IT SAYS TO SERVICE MY AIR BAG. I CALLED GM AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $99.00 TO PUT IT ON THE MACHINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE MOST OF THE PONTIAC HAVE AIR BAG SENSOR PROBLEMS. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHAT RECALL THERE IS ON THEM. THANK YOU *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON,SAW ONLINE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM,THEY SAID GM HAD A RECALL ON SOME OLDER MODELS BUT MY DAUGHTERS IS A 2009,THEY SUGGESTED PUTTING DIALELECTRIC GREASE ON THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND I DID THIS AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR 2 DAYS SO THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND BOUGHT A PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND REPLACED THAT,THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THIS IS A GM DEFECT AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ONE PERSON ONLINE SAID THEY HAD THEIRS (PPSENSOR) REPLACED AT THE DEALER 6 TIMES, IT'S ABOUT A 120 DOLLAR JOB,THAT'S NOT FAIR IT;S A DEFECT, SOMEONE WILL AND PROBABLY HAS BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT,I AM REPLACING MY DAUGHTERS TOMORROW IF IT DOES IT AGAIN I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY 120.00 FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT,BUT A 2008 JUST OUT OF WARRANTY ITS A DEFECT AND A BIG SAFETY ISSUE,GOD I HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS TO HER WHEN IT GOES OUT THE NEXT TIME,PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE'S BRAKING BECAUSE THEY STAY ON. *TR

MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT FAILED IN OCTOBER. WHILE FIXING IT THOUGH IT SEEMED OK, REPLACED IT ANYWAYS. IT FAILED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER. AFTER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE HEADLIGHT MELTING AND FAILING. CHECKED AND THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PONTIAC G6 PROBLEM. CHECKED WITH PONTIAC AND NO RECALLS ON IT. SAFETY ISSUE, BESIDES NO HEADLIGHT COULD POSSIBLE CAUSE FIRE. *TR

MY HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WAS SMOKING TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT AND SHOP WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT ITS WIRING IN THE HEADLIGHT N ITS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM... NOT SOMETHING THAT THE SHOP COULD FIX. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES OR COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND THE WEB ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BY GM. *TR

LOW BEAM / DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON DRIVER'S SIDE INOPERATIVE DUE TO FAULTY - BADLY CORRODED SOCKET AND WIRING CONNECTIONS. GM HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE AND SELLS REPLACEMENT PLUGS WITH WIRE ENDS AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS ALL VEHICLES BUILT BY GM. A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE SAFETY ISSUES SUCH AS INOP HEADLIGHTS / THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND COSTS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. *TR

CAR IS MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT TOOK TO MY MECHANIC HE SAID ITS THE CONTROL ARMS NO CAN DEALERSHIP WHERE BOUGHT CAR SAID IT WASN'T COVERED MY SON JUST HAD TO REPLACE HIS CONTROL ARMS ON HIS G6 ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ON THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM ON THE G6 ITHINKIT SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL IS PEOPLE ARE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL ARM. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP LIGHTING UP AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. ON COLD DAYS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL JUST QUIT WORKING. I HAVE HAD THIS INTO THE GM SHOP TWO TIMES AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. *TR
