WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HITTING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME,THEN WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF WHEN I LET UP ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON IF THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR IT IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO HAVE A WREAK AND GET HURT.I THINK THE COMPANY NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE SUES THE COMPANY FOR WRONGFUL DEATH. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND ITS TIME FOR THE COMPANY TO MAKE A RECALL ON IT. *TR

2009 PONTIAC G6 I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO SWITCH ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WOULDN'T WORK SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON SO I WENT BACK AND PRESSED THE BRAKES THEN THEY TURNED OFF. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN BUT SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL IT COMES ON BUT TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF. BUT IF I HIT THE BRAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL WORK AGAIN FOR A SECOND THEN TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I DRIVE BUT WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS THEY TURN OFF. IM ONLY WRITING THIS BECAUSE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET AND I SAW THAT YOUR COMPANY STARTED AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ON THE HIGHWAY IT'S HAPPENING NOW ALL THE TIME. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE SO I'D RATHER GET THIS FIXED NOW. PLEASE HELP. THANKS! *TR

WHEN THE PASSENGER GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE ON/OFF LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ALSO REMAINS FLASHING AND DINGS WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A DISTRACTION. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A 1100 DOLLAR REPAIR. THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND IF LEFT UN-REPAIRED IT WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO NOT GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD AND ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE THEN VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND TRAVELED OVER A CURB. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND BACK. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SOON DISCOVERED THAT PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR TIRE HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION PIN, CV JOINT, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE SCARY PART IS THAT THEY SHUT OFF WHEN YOU HIT THE PEDAL AND THEN COME BACK ON ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER. I SAW ON THE WEB THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CORROSION ON THE BCM CONNECTIONS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR PREVIOUS YEARS AND GM HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS. I AM GOING TO TRY A QUICK FIX I FOUND ON THE PONTIAC G6 FORUM BEFORE I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND SPEND MY OWN MONEY ON AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. *TR

I HAD SOMEONE FOLLOWING ME HOME THE OTHER DAY AND WHEN WE ARRIVED THEY ASKED ME WHY I KEPT PUTTING ON MY BRAKES AND LETTING OFF. I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. WE CRANKED UP THE CAR AND STOOD BEHIND IT AND WATCHED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF WITHOUT ANYONE EVEN SITTING IN THE CAR. I GOT IN AND STARTED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WHEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. WHEN I LET OFF OF THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED SEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR G6'S. IN MY OPINION AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN GM NOT BE TAKING ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TALK THEY ADVERTISED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE NEW G6? GM NEEDS TO STAND UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING HERE BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT OR DIES DUE TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THESE BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MOTOR MODULE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000. UPDATED 09/02/14*LJ UPDATED 09/18/2014 *JS

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OPPOSITE OF HOW INTENDED. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ACTIVATED, WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO INOPERATIVE, MOST LIKELY LINKED TO THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER. I ASKED FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE MYSELF AND WAS TOLD NONE WAS AVAILABLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE IF FATALITIES HAVE NOT ALREADY OCCURRED.

THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL WORK AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT QUITS. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO, SEEMS RELATED TO THESE TWO MESSAGES SOME TIME COMING ON: "SERVICE TRACTION" AND "SERVICE ESC." *JS

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T COME ON AND WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS THEY ARE ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE CRUISE ALSO KICKING OFF AT THE SAME TIME. *JS

2009 PONTIAC G6 GT SEDAN. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING FOR THE LAST YEAR: BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURN OFF WHEN BRAKING (DOING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING). CRUISE CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM BOTH KEEP GOING OUT. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST THE CRUISE CONTROL, OTHER TIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TURNS OFF FIRST WHICH IN TURN DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHENEVER THE CRUISE CONTROL STARTS GOING OUT, THE BRAKE LIGHTS START MALFUNCTIONING SOON AFTER. I SUSPECT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE). FRONT DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT, BUT THE BULB ISN'T BURNED OUT. REPLACED BULB TWICE. IF I SMACK THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT COVER, THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE WIRES DON'T LOOK DAMAGED, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO BE "FIXED" AND NOW MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE: LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL, MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEAR OUT OF PARK POSITION. THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN OCCURRING IN 2013. GM SHOULD HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THE "FIX" WAS TEMPORARY, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY DUE TO MY BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL NOTICE AND TAKING MY CAR TO BE SERVICED, I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN. IT TURNS OUT THE MECHANICS AT THE GM DEALER JUST CLEANED THE BCM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO IT, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING BEFORE THE RECALL EVEN CAME UP...IT IS INSULTING THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER THIS A "FIX" AND ENDANGER THEIR DRIVERS, WHEN THEY HAD TO KNOW THAT THIS WOULD ONLY HELP TEMPORARILY. IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE BCM NEEDS REPLACED TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS, AS I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER HAVING REPEAT ISSUES AFTER HAVING THE CAR "FIXED" DURING THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR), AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). WHEN I SMACK THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY COME BACK ON. I SEE THAT OTHER DRIVERS ARE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR POWER STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS, AS WELL AS WITH THE BCM. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NOT PROVIDED A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUES, AND I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR.

WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. PULLED IN MY GARAGE TO CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS. LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE STAYING ON. PRESSED BRAKE PEDDLE AND THEY WENT OFF, AFTER 5SEC THEY CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE THEN THEY WENT OFF. IF I PRESS THE PEDDLE OFF, ON, OFF,ON AND DON'T WAIT 5SEC THE LIGHTS WORK BUT IF I DON'T PRESS THE BRAKE PEDDLE FOR ABOUT 5 SEC THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON. ALSO HAVE BIN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. WILL NOT ENGAGE BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON. THANK YOU *TR

PASSENGER SIDE LOWBEAM WENT OUT, REPLACED BULB AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN, INSPECTED WIRING HARNESS AND NOTICED IT WAS CHARRED AND MELTED, AND THE WIRING NEAR IT WAS ALSO CHARRING AND INSULATION BURNING OFF. REPLACED WIRING HARNESS, BULB WENT OUT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER, INSPECTED NEW WIRING HARNESS AND NOTICED IT WAS MELTING AGAIN. SUSPECT SHORT AS EVEN THE WIRES ARE GETTING VERY HOT, HOWEVER NO FUSE HAS BLOWN TO DATE. CONCERNED ABOUT SUDDEN LACK OF VISIBILITY AT NIGHT AND ABOUT FIRE RISK. *TR

TAIL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THE TRACTION CONTROL SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. SAME AS EARLIER MODEL G6'S. SAME AS #08-05-22-009A. *TR

CPSC: I1360207A. 2009 PONTIAC G6 COUPE. CONSUMER STATED HER CAR IS HAVING THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEM AS THE ONES SHE'S READ ABOUT ONLINE. *LN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT WAS REPROGRAMMED. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS LATER, THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, WHEN HIS FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THEY WOULD GO OUT, WHEN HE FOOT WAS ON THE PEDAL.

MY HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR CONTINUALLY GOES OUT EVEN WITH A NEW BULB. NEW BULBS LAST MAYBE TWO WEEKS AND THEN THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF, AND WILL TURN ON ONLY IF I HIT THE LIGHT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER G6 OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. I HAVE A 2009 G6 GT WITH APPROXIMATELY 118K MILES. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APPROXIMATELY 85K-90K MILES. *TR

I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICE FOR SUSPECTED I WAS DRUNK DRIVING. HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY ERRATIC BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER THAT BY WATCHING THE REAR WINDOW LIGHT AT NIGHT I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WITH NO PEDAL APPLIED, OFF WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AND ON AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THEM HARD. I NOW REALIZE BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL ONLY WORKS WITH THE LIGHTS ARE OFF THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED LAST YEAR. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET FIXED AND THE REPAIR ONLY LASTED LESS THAN TWO DAYS BEFORE FAILING AGAIN. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS MAY BECOME A RECALL BUT 2009 WASN'T LISTED AS ONE OF THE YEARS. MY G6 COUPE 2009 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED ON THE 05 THRU 08. *TR

G6 PONTIAC 09 DRIVER SIDE HEADLITE GOES OUT HAD REPLACED AND WENT OUT AGAIN. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL WORKING AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN TURNS OFF AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT SET UNLESS YOU LIFT UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND/OR AFTER CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF IT SEEMS TO RESET?!! *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V460000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR AND A RETAINER WAS INSTALLED OVER THE CABLE END. THREE MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ROLLED AWAY AND INTO A NEIGHBORING YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS SECURED IN PARK PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CHASE AFTER THE VEHICLE, JUMP INSIDE AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE . THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,400.

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. I REPLACED AND A WEEK LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I REPLACED THAT ONE AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. BOTH REPLACED BULBS WERE NOT BURNT OUT. THE LOW BEAMS BOTH WORK WHEN I REMOTE START MY VEHICLE. ONCE I GET IN AND TURN ON THE KEY WITH THE VEHICLE ALREADY RUNNING, THE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT THIS IS A WIRING PROBLEM AND A FIRE HAZARD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD, BUT INTERMITTENTLY WORKING HEADLIGHTS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF RANDOMLY GOING OUT. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN BRAND NEW. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR DOOR LOCKS WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS. MY 3-YEAR-OLD NIECE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS ACTUALLY LOCKED OPEN! SO WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SHUT THE DOORS AND DRIVE UNDER "SAFE" CONDITIONS. I HAD TO BUNGEE-CORD THE DOORS LOCKED AND DRIVE TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. THE LOCKS HAD RESET AND THE DOORS WERE ABLE TO CLOSE. THEN IN 2010, MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKED SHUT ON ME! I WASN'T ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. AFTER 2 HOURS THE DOOR LOCKS RESET. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TO THE REAR DOOR. THIS TIME, I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ALL THE DOOR LOCKS AND THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE ONE SINCE THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. IN 2011, I HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WHETHER THE DOORS WERE LOCKED SHUT OR LOCKED OPEN. EVERY TIME I WOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THE LOCKS WOULD RESET AND THE PROBLEM WAS LEFT UNDIAGNOSED. IN FEBRUARY 2013, MY FIANCE HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO HIS LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC GOT LOCKED INSIDE MY VEHICLE! THEN IN MAY 2013, I WAS WITH MY NIECE AGAIN AND THE REAR DOORS AND DRIVER DOOR LOCKED OPEN! I GAVE THE CAR SOME TIME TO RESET, AND THE DOOR UNLATCHED AND CLOSED. BUT THEN IT GOT LOCKED SHUT! SO I DROVE MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS WITH THE DOORS LOCKED SHUT. I HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND ENTER/EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE LOCK MECHANISM WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT NEEDED REPLACED FOR $400 EACH BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY! SO I CALLED GM. THEY SAID THE DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT RECALLED, THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. PONTIAC IS VERY WELL AWARE OF THE DOOR LOCK ISSUES, AND SO IS- THE MECHANIC. THESE ARE FAULTY LOCKS! *TR

INTERMITTENT VERY HARD UP SHIFTS (INCLUDING CHANGES FROM PARK-DRIVE ETC), CRUISE FLYS OFF AND STOPS WORKING WHILE GOING DOWN ROAD, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND FLICKERS RANDOMLY, CAR FLASHES "POWER STEERING" ON RADIO PANEL AND "ERROR" ON ODOMETER READ, HARD TURNING, CAR LOSES POWER AS IT REVS TO REALIZE IT NEEDS TO SHIFT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) INITIALLY, RESTARTING CAR WOULD HELP FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT. GM DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THOUGHT IT WAS LOOSE WIRING. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO TRACE THE COMMUNICATION ERRORS THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY GAVE IT BACK WITH NO FIX OR ANSWERS. MAJOR ISSUE CONSIDERING THE CAR HAS ONLY 36500 MILES TO DATE WITH AN ISSUE CLEARLY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH AS WELL. THE INCONSISTENT ISSUE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A RECENT CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

LOW BEAM LIGHT ON BOTH THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES KEEP GOING OUT. I KEEP REPLACING AND IMMEDIATELY THEY GO OUT. BULBS WERE NOT BURNT OUT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN. THE METAL IN THE CONNECTORS ARE FRIED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT THIS IS A WIRING PROBLEM AND A FIRE HAZARD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD, BUT INTERMITTENTLY WORKING HEADLIGHTS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF RANDOMLY GOING OUT. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES, I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES BEFORE TURNING MY CAR OFF OR IT KILLS THE BATTERY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, ONE MIN I COULD STEP ON THE BRAKES AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON...OR THEY STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME. *TR

WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS GO OFF BUT THE REST OF THE TIME MY LIGHTS ARE ON (WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL) WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME CANNOT TELL WHEN I AM BRAKING. IT ALSO CAUSES ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL THINKS THAT I AM HITTING THE BRAKE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

CAR ENGINE TURNED OFF GOING 45MPH THIS IS SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH THIS HAPPENED.CAR DEALER REPLACED A SENSOR PART 15865791- AND MODULE 12612397. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IT APPEARS THAT I AM PRESSING ON THE BRAKES WHEN I REALLY AM NOT. THEN WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO MY CRUISE CONTROL GOES ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS. I HAVE LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, AND IT HAPPENS TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE PONTIAC G6 AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS ON MY LANE HEADING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS ME SO I TURNS QUICKLY TO AVOID COLLISION AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE BRAKES AND WHEELS. UPON IMPACT WITH A LIGHT POST NO AIR BAGS ON MY SIDE CAME OUT. *TR

I HAVE 2009 PONTIAC AND I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT LIKE FIVE TIMES STILL DOESN'T WORK WERE I LIVE I SEE ALOT OF THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALREADY HAD THE LATCH FOR SHIFTER REPLACED CAUSE IT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING SEEING ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG AS THE POST OF EVERYBODY WITH HEADLIGHT BRAKES THE ENGINE I THINK THE WHOLE CAR SHOULD BE RECALL BEFORE ALOT OF PEOPLE GET HURT ITS A DEATH TRAP ALL KIND OF THINGS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND IN THIS DAY AND TIME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING A CAR THAT HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS NOT BY WEAR AND TEAR BUT BY NOT PROPERLY PUTTING IT TOGETHER MY CAR WAS 16,000 DOLLARS AND TO PAY THAT MUCH AND HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE HEADLAMP WIRING ASSEMBLY FAILED (FIRST THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THEN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE A FEW MONTHS LATER). HEADLAMP WIRING ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SHOWED EVIDENCE OF HIGH HEAT (MELTED WIRING AND PLUG) AT THE REAR OF THE CONNECTOR IN HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY.
