The first incident occurred in 07/2013 with approximately 60,000 miles on the car. The ground connector on the low beam headlight socket on the drivers side was melted and the light would not work. The connection was cleaned and the bulb was replaced. The headlight again went out around 10/2014 with the low beam headlight socket having additional melting at the bulb connector and corrosion on the wires. The headlight socket was replaced. It stopped working less than 1 week later. The headlight socket has been melted and both the socket/bulb need to be replaced again.

Headlight and tail light bulbs are melting at electrical contacts causing frequent bulb failure. The last time this happened with the drivers side headlight, not only was there damage to the bulb's electrical contacts, but the wiring harness itself had melted. After complaining to the local GM dealer, they informed me that they no longer made the part and I would have to "splice" in the harness from the GMC arcadia. I do not find this as an acceptable solution as the spliced points will eventually fail also. Furthermore, what normal car owner can or should do this themselves?

Bought a used 2008 Pontiac G6 one week ago. It had an open recall--13036. This was a brake lamp malfunction which could also affect the electronic stability control and traction control (disabling them). Also possible problems were brake lights coming on when accelerating and going off when braking. This also affects the cruise control and the shifter. Had the recall work done today, October 3, 2014. By the time I got home, brake lights were continuously on, cruise control did not work, and traction control and ESC were disabled. This after GM's recall.

Replaced blown passenger headlight (lowbeam), then noticed that the wiring to the light was melted with a burning smell. Also several error codes for airbag, engine, tire pressure monitor illuminate on dash. Do not buy this vehicle.

Rear passenger door will not lock/unlock. 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 changed the bulb twice. Low beam headlight will stop working, but the bulb is not actually burned out. As a result, I had driver side bulb wiring replaced by dealer, due to charring that was present on the wiring harness. Then, it started working again. A month or so later the other one went out. Now the passenger side wiring is charred, but the bulb is fine.

When I was driving my car all of a sudden the headlights started to flash/turn on and off uncontrollably. I took it in for service and the dealership concluded that my wires has melted and fused together. He told me that I was lucky that there was not a fire that started, that is how bad they were melted. I had to replace wiring harness and get new bulbs, which cost me $400. There are many complaints about this issue in online forums and I am scared that something like this could happen again. I believe that it is related to the May 14, 2014 recall regarding the electrical system, electronic stability control, vehicle speed control. This is terribly dangerous and needs to be addressed by GM before more innocent people get hurt, please help!

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 14V252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the parts needed for the repair were unavailable. The dealer stated that the manufacturer did not have an estimated date as to when the parts would become available. The contact had been waiting on the parts since July of 2014. The contact had not experienced a failure.

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.

- Florissant, MO, USA

My highlights no longer worked even after changing bulbs and low beams would go on and off. Connections were melted on the headlight wiring ends. I replaced entire headlight units. There are many complaints about this on auto forums. I feared that this faulty wiring in my headlight assemblies may cause a fire.

After exiting highway, driver behind me flagged me down to tell me my brake lights were on the entire time he drove behind me. Brake lights were checked by myself and family members and they continue to illuminate on.

I replaced my driver and passenger low beam bulbs on two different occasions within the past year. Well low and behold my passenger low beam bulb blew out again! as I disconnected the headlight, I noticed the wire harness had melted!!!! luckily, I am alive to tell about it! upon reading all of the other individuals' reports on this matter, it is alarming that there was no recalls for this damage by GM! GM needs to make this right! I trusted GM...... only to be betrayed! faulty wiring!!!! this is B.S. an unsatisfied GM customer, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have been reading about other peoples problems with the G6 and I am having the same with my 2008 Pontiac G6/GT. I have a 2008 Pontiac G6 and I am having problems with: Tie rods, wheel hubs, control arms, and lastly my car light in the front keeps going out, not the high beams but the low beams. Every time I replace the bulb it goes out in a matter of weeks.

- Linden, NJ, USA

Low beam headlights go out. This has happened on both sides of the vehicle. The bulbs are fine, the problem is in the wiring, the connectors going to the bulbs are corroded and melted !! this is clearly a defect in manufacturing!!! reading through the 99 complaints on electrical problems that have been logged onto this site, 35 of them have been about the same problem I am having!! how many need to be recorded before you issue a recall!! seems to me 35 out of 99 would be enough!!

The brake lights come on for no reason and speed control ceases to function. When the brake is pressed the brake lights shut off, thereby not functioning when they should. In addition, if the brake is pressed slightly the cruise control will function. The dealer replaced the brake switch and it worked for only one week. Di-electric grease was applied to the computer harness pins and that also worked for but a short time. Very dangerous.

Passenger side headlight is out due to shorting/ melting wire harness. I have witnessed several about(15) Pontiac G6 with their headlight out on the exact same side as my vehicle(passenger) side mostly. After finding the real problem I'm going to replace the whole wiring harness myself. Nothing else follows-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Low beam headlights go out often and both lights will go out without warning. The high beam lights work ok but cannot be dimmed for oncoming traffic when this happens. Changing bulbs does not fix this problem.

Brake lights remain on when the brake pedal is not pushed, but go off when the brake pedal is pushed, just the opposite of what is supposed to happen. Following vehicles cannot be signaled when slowing down creating danger of a rear end collision. The problem is intermittent can tell it is happening when the cruise control does not work.

- Knoxville, TN, USA

Both of my head lights have gone out. My first headlight went out and the dealer stated that my wires had corroded and needed to be replaced. Now two months later my other headlight is out and I believe it is the same issue. Also I have been having trouble with both cruise control and my turn signals as both have not been reacting to the command. I believe that it is related to the May 14, 2014 recall regarding the electrical system, electronic stability control, vehicle speed control. I spent over $500 to replace the first headlight. The other items have not been replaced yet, but I know they will need to be and the cost will be exorbitant.

Following my son to school noticed brake lights were on while driving down the road when he came to a stop the brake lights went off. Another incident driving on I-69 with cruise control engaged traveling 70 mph passing a truck cruise control disengaged. Cruise control would not engage again for about 50 miles. Another incident of driving with brake lights on and stopping without lights being illuminated, car next to us let us know.
