I HAVE REPLACE THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE HEADLIGHTS (PIGTAILS) ON BOTH SIDE OF THIS PONTIAC FIVE TIMES NOW. THE CAR SENDS TOO MUCH ELECTRIC CURRENT TO THE LIGHT BULBS THAT OVER HEATS THE PIGTAILS AND MELTS THEM. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO THE G6'S. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESS AND GM SHOULD DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS BEFORE THE CARS CATCH ON FIRE. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR RESPONSE WITH THE WORD "PONTIAC" IN THE SUBJECT LINE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE REPORTED THIS. PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HEAD LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT...THE WIRES CONNECTED WITH THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BURNT AND CORRODED. I HAVE REPLACE THESE PARTS 20 TIMES SINCE 2009. THIS TIME ON JANUARY 1, 2015 THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS ARE TO BURNT TO REPAIR AND THE DEALER SHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE HARNESS KIT ASSEMBLY INSTEAD OF JUST THE WIRES. WHY SHOULD I, THIS PROBLEMS IS FAR AND WIDE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE PONTIAC G6. I TRAVEL WITH MY JOB AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT ON ME AND I HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM JUST TO GET HOME. PLEASE LET GM KNOW AND ISSUE SOME KIND OF RECALL BEFORE I DIE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHT WIRES. *JS

I WAS ON THE ROAD AND THE ANTI THEFT LOCK SYMBOL APPEARED JUST BEFORE ALL MY DASH GAUGES WENT WACKY. I DIDN'T HAVE SPEEDOMETER AND THEN NO ODOMETER SO I PULLED OFF ROAD AND SHUT OFF CAR BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE COULD HAPPEN. CAR WOULDN'T RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. WIRING HARNESS WAS THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS THAT REPAIRED MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN AFTER FIX BECAUSE REMOTE START INTERRUPTED AND WOULDN'T WORK AND WAS TOLD REMOTE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 29,000 MILES. *TR
