CarComplaints.com Notes: Unfortunately the 2008 Pontiac G6 continues a serious trend of steering problems from the prior model years.

pretty bad
lights problem
The driver's side low beam headlight burned out. After purchasing a new bulb, I saw that the socket/connector was melted. I cleaned it off before replacing the light. It burned out again about three days later and upon removing the bulb, the socket was melted even more. It would appear as though I need a new socket, but what's to stop the new one from melting again? Having read that so many other people are having the same problem, and that even after replacing the socket and wires, the problem keeps happening, GM really needs to do something about this. I'm tired of dumping money into a manufacturing problem that never ends.

If this is not a recall it should be. Melting wires come on something is very wrong with this picture. We replaced the bulb 2 times only to find that there is a weird smell upon review my husband noticed a melted wire harness. This could really hurt someone. A fire with two kids in the car. Someone should have to pay for this. Replacing a wire harness is nothing compared to losing two kids lives.

I replaced the damn bulb a few times and, before I knew it, I was being pulled over again for a headlight out. When I found out what the problem was, I ordered a new headlight assembly and haven't had a headlight problem since.

I have replaced the bulb 4 times thinking it kept blowing out until my husband noticed the plugs are completely burned and melted and now I have no low beam headlights because the connectors completely melted away. I can't afford to fix it so I just don't drive at night!

THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT THAT THE PLUG THAT GOES INTO THE LIGHT BLUB HAS MELTED AND I THINK THAT IS F*CKING UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE A REAL BIG PROBLEM THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE THAT IS DANGERIOUS
