About 6 months ago I believe I file a complaint about this same issue and here I am again. A few nights ago driving home from the movies with my kids out of nowhere my headlights go out so I had to use my fog lights to make it home. I can't understand how isn't this a safety issue and why hasn't anyone done anything about it or why isn't there a recall. What is the wait" Are we waiting for a tragedy to occur to then do something?? This is like the 3 or 4th time that it has happened. Where is the urgency on this matter?? Or will I have to make a petition with other G6 owners that also have had this issue?" Some feedback would be nice on what to do or do I have to continue to spend $$$ with 0 results. Would appreciate some response and some results.

This has been an issue that has been going on for a few years it has mostly been the driver side headlight a d o. 2 occasions both headlights have not work. On November 2023 my headlights on the driver's side would not work. Also, my turn signal didn't work at all which almost caused me an accident as I was making a turn not knowing that the turn signal was not working. I took my vehicle to Alden Buick GMC where they did inform me of issues with the headlight wiring they replaced a few wires and used a zip tie to fix it. On another occasion leaving work none of my headlights worked so I had to call my wife and have her drive in front of me so that I can make it home. Now on December I was driving on the highway at 1am and all of a sudden my headlights went off so the only thing I could do is use my fog lights and follow a car in front of me. And now here we are once again driver side Not working. Now, everyone that has a Pontiac G6 knows, the issues with the headlights and the wiring. I just don't see why it hasn't been a recall on this continuous problem or even worst, Safty issue!!

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while her fiancé-?? was driving behind her, he notified her that her rear driver-??s and passenger-??s side brake lights remained illuminated while the accelerator pedal was depressed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the rear passenger-??s and driver-??s side brake light bulbs were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact then received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number 14V252000 (Electrical system, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electrical Stability Control). Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

The electrical harness going to the drivers door doesn't function properly in any way shape or form. My locks blow a fuse every time you hit the button my trunk pop works with my key fob but not the actual button. My passenger window only goes down if you open the door completely but then only goes up with the pass. Switch and my car radio stays on even if I shut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car... Me not being able to get windows down or trunk open in an emergency is extremely dangerous and unsafe in every way and so is the door locks not functioning properly.... I demand a safety recall be issued on the wiring harness immediately....

The headlight socket connector in the headlights overheat and melt...so the headlights shut off...I have replaced them so many times..and it is a safety hazard!!!! I was driving at night and it happened. Very scary!!!! it is a bad design.

The break lights are always on. They only turn off when I stop which has alomst gotten me rear ended multiple times. The front left headlight cannot be repaired due to imporper wiring and ive had it looked at twice only to not be able to find the problem. Also, when I am driving the car will not go below 3rd and is not properly shifting causing accelerating problems, when driving in general, and am unable to keep a proper amount of gas because its buring through due to this. I have problems when driving, especially on the highway, and the breaks and headlight are always a problem wheter driving or in park. This happens every day!

Passenger side front low beam headlight does not stay on. Going over a bump during driving knocks the light off and shutting the hood or tapping on the headlamp may turn it back on. Dangerous to drive as both lights may go out. Was informed that the wiring connector inside the lamp case could melt from the heat of the light bulb.

Brake lights stay on while driving and go off once brake pedal is pushed. This was a recall done several years ago but in 2019 we are having the same issue after the recall was previously performed. Additionally, I have had this problem repeatedly since I bought the vehicle in 2011, and it has been repaired multiple times and by mechanics other than the recall. The most recent repair was in November of 2019. Yesterday, the problem returned (if it had ever gone away to begin with.) the mechanics are trying their best to get to the bottom of the problem; however, the best I have ever gotten is about 8 months without noticing any issues. When you buy a car--new or used--you expect the break lights to work as they are designed to work for the life of the vehicle. Nobody buys a car expecting to have to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing whether your car is actually alerting drivers that you are stopping when you are in busy traffic.

Its leaks when its rains. The right side of my car lights stopped working. The front and brake light are out on the right side. Left side lock switch doesnt work. Also my gear switch sometimes keep me in parked or reverse from day to day travels. I could get in the car go to the store and my car will not come out of reverse or park.

My brake lights stay on when I turn my car on. When I press on the brake pedal my brake lights go out. They have been like this for about 3 years. I replaced the switch under the brake pedal and it did nothing. The brake lights stay on when I'm driving or sitting still.

My headlights keep having to be replaced! I've also replaced the pigtails in the past!! I noticed both my high and low beams out on the drivers side and when I brought it to be replaced the light had come back on. Then when I left work that night they were out once again!!! I've looked this up and it appears to be a problem for most Pontiac owners along with electrical problems too! which I've also had my share of electrical problems too!!! I've gottwn into the habit of shutting off my day time driving lights! as replacement is very costly due to labor!!

My headlights keep burning out! I've replaced them multiple times and also replaced the pig tails. Only for them to continually go out!! just yesterday I knew one was out, brought it to be replaced only to have it working again!! then when I left work it was out again!! they are also very expensive to replace because of the labor!! it seems to be an electrical problem for certain!!

When I'm driving and put my foot on the brake the brake lights turn off, and when I take my foot off the brakes and drive they turn on. This is a real safety issue, I could get rear ended!!!

While the car is driving at any speed the power steering and brake lights will go out randomly. The front headlights will just turn off for no reason in the middle of the night while driving. And when the headlights go out the brake lights stay on continuously.

Multiple times the headlights go out and harness connection section burns out needing replacement of both harnesses and bulbs.

I noticed that my driver's side low beam headlight was out. I purchased a new one but upon installation, I noticed that the old one did not visually appear to be bad. I replaced it anyway. A few weeks later the same one was out again. I checked it for connection problems etc and it started working again. A few weeks later it was out again. Approximately a month ago, I was unlocking my doors with the key fob while parked in front of my garage door and noticed on the garage door that both lights were working; however, when I opened the door it went off and stayed off until I unlocked the door with the fob again.

So about 3-4 months after purchasing my 2008 Pontiac G6 GT, the headlight went out on the drivers side. I decided to replace both low beam bulbs on the drivers side and passengers side. The passenger side hasn't been too bad, it would go out, but a tap on the headlight would turn it back on. The drivers side however, would go out at any random time, then cut back on almost immediately or a few minutes later. I did see that the plug for the low beam was a little melted, but didn't think much of it. I don't know if the car was able to withstand the current needed for the bulb or the wiring was just terrible.

I have been having an issue with the headlights for years. I buy lights every 3 weeks, this is very expensive. Was stopped by cops & given a warning. Now none of the lights are working (high R low) don't come on. Just devasted dealership will charge $700 that I don't have need help are advise me on what to do. I see a lot of Pontiac ct vehicles with only one lite working "????" driving in the dark coming home from work.....

I've had to replace the headlight bulbs almost every six months since I purchased the vehicle in 2010. They are constantly going out. I took it to an electrician. He replaced a piece in the wiring, then the other headlight, as soon as I fix one side the other headlight goes out. I know it has to be a manufacturers defect. I have owned this car almost 8 years this May. This is not a coincidence. The passenger side headlight is out now. I love this car, it rides great, but this headlight situation is frustrating.
