2010 Pontiac G6 Lighting Problems

SERVICE ESC FLASHES ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT ON. ALSO MY PASSAGER HEADLIGHT BLOWS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. COULD BE ONE DAY COULD BE ONE MONTH.

WHILE DRIVING BRAKE LIKES STAY ON. WHEN BRAKING, BRAKE LIGHT GO OFF. THEY DO OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SUPPOSE TO DO. GM HAS ISSUED A BULLITIN.

MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY KEEPS MELTING AND THEN THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW & HIGH BEAM) DO NOT COME ON. I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS ABOUT 6X UNTIL I CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FROM GM FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH GM BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO AND I NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED MYSELF. THE LIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY WHEN DRIVING AND THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO HURT MYSELF OR ANYONE DUE TO HAVING NO HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON GOOGLE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE YET GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. PLEASE HELP. I AM ON A BUDGET AND SIMPLY CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHEN IT SHOULD BE GM'S RESPONSIBILITY.

2 YEARS AGO,I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT LIGHT HARNESS. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT LIGHT HARNESS.THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.I REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ONLY FOR IT TO NOT WORK 2 DAYS LATER.THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS. I HAVE GOTTEN PULLED OVER TWICE NOW FOR A LIGHT OUT. NOW I FIND IF I SMACK THE LIGHT IT COMES BACK ON?

THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTIONS EASILY BECOME CORRODED AND BURNS OUT THE CONNECTION AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK. *TR

MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB WILL NOT WORK,CHANGED THE BULB AND IT BLEW WITHIN 3 DAYS REPLACED IT AND NOW IT WONT WORK, CHANGED THE FUSE AND IT STILL DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM. *JS

MY HEADLIGHTS (BOTH) WILL GO OUT FROM TIME TO TIME. I CAN START MY CAR AND ONE OF THE LIGHTS WILL BE OUT. I CAN GET OUT AND HIT ABOVE THE LIGHT AND IT COMES BACK ON. THEN I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HIT A BUMP AND ONE OF THEM GO OUT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ONE OR BOTH MAY GO OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS 2 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2012. THEY HAVE NEVER BOTH GONE OUT AT THE SAME TIME, BUT I AM WORRIED ABOUT IT HAPPENING. THEN WHAT WILL I DO? THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR HAVING A HEADLIGHT OUT. WE THEN SHOW THE COP THAT ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HIT IT. THANKFULLY WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN A TICKET YET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000. UPDATED 5/27/14*CN

HEADLIGHT BULBS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES NEED TO BE REPLACED REPEATEDLY. THE PIGTAIL SOCKET FOR THE BULB APPEARS TO HAVE OVERHEATED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND REPLACED HEADLIGHT BULBS SIX TIMES. *TR

THE LOW-BEAM PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP WENT OUT, SO I REPLACED IT HOPING THAT THE ISSUE WAS JUST A BURNT OUT HEADLAMP. HOWEVER, THE SAME HEADLAMP WENT OUT AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER (APPROXIMATELY 12/15/12). AT THAT TIME I FURTHER INSPECTED THE WIRING TO FIND THAT THE CONNECTOR HAD MELTED CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT. AT THIS POINT I HAD THE CONNECTOR REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AGO (APPROX. 9 MONTHS AFTER REPLACING THE CONNECTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE) THE LOW-BEAM DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP WENT OUT. AGAIN, HOPING THAT IT WAS JUST THE BULB, I TOOK IT APART TO REPLACE THE BULB. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CONNECTOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NOW MELTED AS WELL. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ASAP AS IT IS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. I APPEARS THAT AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, WITH NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I FEAR THAT IT WILL TAKE A CUSTOMER'S CAR CATCHING ON FIRE TO ELICIT ANY TYPE OF RECALL. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE IT BECOMES A SERIOUS ISSUE AND INJURES/KILLS SOMEONE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. OFTEN TIMES, THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING ENGAGED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION WOULD DEACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY WHEN BEING UTILIZED. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SERVICE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 3/14/13 *CN

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN AND STAY ON AS THE CAR IS STARTED FROM COLD OR WARM ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AND DIE AS I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. MANY CARS HAVE NEARLY REAR ENDED ME AND I'VE RECEIVED MANY COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME STATING THE SAME THING I SEE, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON TILL I HIT THE BRAKES. WHICH CONFUSES THEM AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO SCREECH THEY'RE TIRES TO STOP FROM IMPACT (10 INCIDENTS). THIS FAULTY INCIDENT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES. I TOOK IN TO GM AND THEY COULDN'T ADDRESS NOR BELIEVED ME BECAUSE MY SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION LIGHTS WERE OFF AND IT DIDN'T MIMICK THE SAME. BUT AFTER 36, 000 MILES THIS ISSUE HAPPENED EVERYDAY. UNLESS IT IS 80 DEGREES OUT IT DOESN'T COME ON AS OFTEN MORE LIKE EVERY OTHER START UP. IT IS REALLY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OR RIGHT BEFORE A HEAVY INTERSECTION. WILL GM FIX THIS ISSUE OR WAIT FOR A BAD DISASTER TO HAPPEN LIKE TOYOTA? THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER G6 I SEE ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE SO I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MINES. IF THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE RECALL, GM HAS LOST ALL RESPECT, AT LEAST WITH TOYOTA THEY ADMITTED TO FAULTY BRAKES AND WENT ALONG TO FIX THEM. WHILE GM FOR YEARS HAVE IGNORE THIS ISSUE. MY FIRST AMERICAN CAR AND MY ONLY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A VEHICLE. MY NEXT CAR WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE A GM MADE FAULTY CAR TILL THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REALIZED AND ADDRESS. *JS
