There are 50 owner-reported electrical system complaints for the 2007 Pontiac G6in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
FAILED COMPONENT SYSTEM: Driver & Passenger side Airbag system. SAFETY RISK: I was involved in motor vehicle collision, resulting in extensive front-end damage to my car. Upon impact, the driver and passenger side airbags did NOT deploy, which based on the extent of the damage to my vehicle they should have deployed. CONFIRMED REPORT: Yes, one component of the airbag system has already been reported to NHTSA for this make & model car pertaining defects or a problem of the passenger airbag sensing system/FMVSS 208, which can be referenced under the following Campaign number: 07V146000. While this is one safety component that is known & reported to NHTSA as wqell as GM, the component that I would like to personally repot is pertaining to specifically the driver side airbag as it did NOT deploy upon impact. INSPECTION: Yes, while my vehicle underwent a general inspection, following the collision, that was conducted through my insurance company, there has NOT been a thorough inspection into the Airbag Sensing System, or my vehicles Event Data Records (EDR) yet. I filed a Product Assistance Claim (PCC) personally with General Motors, letting them know of this problem of my airbags for which I have been contacted by one of GMs PAC customer representatives, but I have only heard from this individual once since I've opened the claim with GM. I have reached out by phone as well as email to follow up with GM on the status of my PAC, but unfortunately, I have not heard back from him since. WARNING MESSAGES: No, there was no warning light or message displayed anywhere that would be suggest a problem or that maintenance was indicated or needed.
Brake lights operate backwards at times, sometimes they operate normal. Sometimes not at all.
My taillights will not come on. It's not a fuse because if it were the the dash lights would also be out, but they're not
Electrical issue with my pontiac g6 I have had to replace my headlights bulbs multiple times due to the plugs melting I have actively seen the plug smoking and it has happened on both of my drl/low beam headlight bulbs resulting in plugs having to be replaced multiple times as well. My engine light isn't working and yet I have engine codes my service air bag light comes on at random my buckle seat belt light won't go off it stays on when I'm buckled in the driver's seat. My pressure sensor on my fuel tank has low voltage issues. When shutting the car off and opening the driver door all accessories that should of shut off are still active including the radio. The oil light is always turning on but the vehicle isn't low on oil nor does the message appear. When plugging in a car scanner the anti theft system light turns on and at random times will shut the car off. When the car scanner gets plugged in the rpms drop for a second and then go up as well. At times only one of my headlights work and I have to smack the headlight that isn't working to get it working.
No Low Beam Headlights illuminate now but one low beam headlight had been installed recently and BCM and/or harness was adjusted after which both low beam headlights had been working
Going down a busy highway at night, 1 minute the car is fine, the next minute the lights go off and then the car dies. The service air bag light came on, the oil light came on, the anti theft light came on and the battery light also. I tried to crank it, nothing. I put a jump box on the battery it Crunk. Within the last 6 months I have replaced the starter twice, the alternator twice, the fuse box twice, and the battery twice.
Brake lights stay on when the car is in drive. Cruise control will not work. There are other intermittent electrical issues that are not safety related. With the brake lights always on, other drivers don't know when I'm stopping. The problem is ongoing and has been confirmed by an independent mechanic. there were no warning lights or messages. the problem started several years ago before I owned the car.
Headlight went out . Upon changing it I noticed that wiring harness was burnt and melted. Also was driving and power steering went out driving 65 miles per hour. The cruise control got stuck . Right side making horrible noise at times. This has put me and my five year old as well as anyone driving near me at risk of dying.
THE CAR'S ANTI THEFT SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY OR REGULARLY, SO AT TIMES YOU CAN START THE CAR RIGHT AWAY BUT OTHER TIMES WHEN THE ANTO THEFT WON'T GO OFF YOU CAN'T START THE CAR FOR DAYS.
OUR PONTIAC G6 HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DRIVEN AT 75 MPH FOR AN HOUR AN AND A HALF. IT SAT FOR 5 HOURS AND THEN WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, IT SUDDENLY CAUGHT FIRE.
THE WIRING CONNECTOR FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM H11 HEADLIGHT HAS MELTED AND SHORTED 3 TIMES NOW, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT A DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHHT. VEHICLE WAS USING OEM PART NUMBER HEAD LIGHTS, OF WHICH NEVER BURNT OUT OR FAILED AND ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS THAT IT ROLLED OFF ASSEMBLY WITH. EACH TIME THE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY AN APPROPRIATE HARNESS BY A GM CERTIFIED REPAIR CENTER. I HAVE ONCE NOTICED WHILE USING THE REMOTE START FEATURE THAT THE HEADLIGHT WILL GET REALLY BRIGHT THEN APPEAR TO BURN OUT AS THE VEHICLES ENGINE STARTS. A CONNECTOR WITH SUCH HIGH IMPEDANCE I CONSIDER OUTRIGHT DANGEROUS AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. NOT TO MENTION THE RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING HEADLIGHT.
WHEN I'M DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 THE DASH AND RADIO TURN COMPLETELY OFF THE GAUGES GO COMPLETELY DOWN THEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY TURNS BACK ON WHILST DRIVING REPEATEDLY. *TR
Something is draining battery. I have a brand new battery in it and battery was checked out at battery warehouse. I run car and about an hour the car is dead. I had problems with this car since I bought it from Koons in Westminster Md. I even paid for warranty but every time I took it back it didn’t cover it. This happened a lot I got a lemon and they refused to take it back. I put soo much money in this car I could of bought a brand new car. Now I’m stuck with a car that does not want to run again. What can I do about this car? I ran out of money to fix it. Please help. Thxs
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON DEC 11,2019 AND I HEARD A LOAD POP THAT CAME FROM UNDER MY DASH. SMOKE STARTED TO FILL MY CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAD NOTICED ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTING AND COMPONENTS HAD STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY AND WHEN I OPEN MY TRUNK I NOTICED THE FUSE BOX LOCATED IN THE TRUCK AND COMPLETELY BURNER UP. ALSO THE WIRES THAT ARE LOCATED UNDER THE DASH HAS ALSO CAUGHT FIRE AND THAT IS WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR AND BOTH CASES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDANS. THE FIRST CASE WAS WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I ALMOST WRECKED TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND I WANT THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED AT. I HAVE SPOKE TO AN ATTORNEY AND HE ADVISED ME TO FILL OUT A REPORT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S NOT FAIR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BUY A CAR AND EXPECT TO BE SAFE KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE PUT CHEAP PARTS AND FAULTY WIRING IN IT. SOMETHING SERIOUS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND MY CAR COULD HAVE EASY FOUGHT FIRE. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE DAMAGE WILL BE ABOUT $1000-$1200 DOLLARS AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM COST ME OVER $600. I WANT A REIMBURSEMENT AND I WANT MY CAR FIXED. THERE IS NO REASON WHY GM CAN'T FIX IT FOR FREE. IT'S CURRENTLY SITTING AT MY MECHANICS BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. PLEASE TAKE TIME AND LOOK INTO THIS MATTER I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THE OTHER CARS WERE.
TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK THE BACK ROAD HOME CAR STILL SHAKING BUT MADE IT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT STOPPED. NEXT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS STUCK IN THE COLD POSITION WHILE THE CAR WAS HOT AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINS. NEXT MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP I CHECKED FOR RECALLS IT SAYS MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY BUT MY CAR IS DOING EVERYTHING SAID IN THE RECALL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH TWO TODDLER KIDS.
HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS OVERHEATED AND MELTED, CAUSING LAMP FAILURE AND NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.
MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 SHIFTS SO HARD AND MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME I HAVE LOOKED UP ONLINE AND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 06-07 MODELS AND IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS MINE . IT SHIFTS WAY TO HARD THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FOR SURE ! NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A LEGIT SOLUTION TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM GM REALLY MESSED UP WHEN THEY MADE THESE CARS IF I WOULD HAVE READ REVIEWS FIRST I DEFINITELY WOULD NO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR ! AS SOON A SHARE YOU TURN THE CAR ON AND PUT IT IN TO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JERKS REALLY HARD THEN EVERY 10 MPH YOU GO IT JERKS YOU ALL THE WAY FORWARD TRYING TO SHIFT ! DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED REALLY HOPE THEY DO A RECALL BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK ! I'M SURE EVERYONE WILL APPRECIATE IGNORANCE THEY DO A RECALL !!
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK THIS MORNING ON A CITY STREET DOWNTOWN DALLAS IT WENT INTO A FLAM AND START SMOKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND DIAL 911 AND THEY CAME OUT AND LET THE FIRE OUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME TO WATCH THE CAR BECUZ IT CAN START ANOTHER FIRE THE SPRAYED UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE DASH BOARD INSIDE THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT COULD BE SOME WIRING ISSUE BUT THEY WASN'T SURE. SO I CALLED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO GOOD YEAR. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD LOOK AT THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW AND WILL CALL ME ONCE THEY TAKE A LOOK
WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR ON BUT ONCE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES THEY TURN OFF. BASICALLY THE OPPOSITE WAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD BE WORKING.
DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT. THE ELECTRICAL WIRING APPEARS TO GET TOO HOT AND BURNS THE LIGHT BULB OUT. THE SOCKET AND THE BULB WOULD BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT THE SOCKET PARTIALLY MELTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE SOCKET AND THE BULB THREE TIMES AND THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING.
