I was driving through my town and my seatbelt light came on and then the power steering was completely gone. I was the only one in my car. This has been happening for a couple weeks. My shoulder is hurting bad now from this. Very scary for this to happen.
2007 Pontiac G6 lights complaints
Page 2 of 9: complaints 11 to 40 of 232, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Headlight wiring harness overheated and melted, causing lamp failure and no low beam headlights.
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.
Brake lights turn on randomly and stay on while driving. Only turn off when I put on the brakes, causing a major safety concern. Only fix for now is to grease circuit, but I have to keep redoing that every few weeks.
This car had a recall for the brake lights randomly coming on and off. I took the car in myself and they lubed up the circuits with dielectric grease. This fixes the problem for a few weeks. I have been fighting this problem for years. This morning I was following my wife and kids and the brakes lights are on when she is going and they go off when she applies the brake. I took it back to the dealership and they tell me my recall has already been fixed. After researching this problem it seems thousands of people have the same problem. My issue is that the dealership doesn't care and someone is going to get seriously hurt. The dealership told me to look on youtube and learn how to grease the electric plug the brake lights are on. This is not fair. This problem has always been on the car and they should fix it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the low beam headlights were faulty. When the contact had the driver's side headlights repaired, the passenger side headlights blew out and vice versa. The contact stated that there was moisture inside the passenger side headlight unit, which could be the cause of the failures. The vehicle was taken to marvin k. Brown auto center (1441 camino del rio south, auto cir, san diego, ca 92108, (877) 611-6882) where it was diagnosed that a new passenger side head lamp was needed. The vehicle was repaired. Shortly after, the headlights failed again. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 41,468.
Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day. Lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: stationary, city driving, and highway driving.
The brake lights are on when driving and go off when the brake pedal is pressed. This is opposite to how it should be. There was a recall related to this and apparently the recall repair was made. There are no outstanding recalls on this car. But the brake light problem has reappeared so the repair seems ineffective. I entered today's date below since it asks for a date, but this happens every time the car is driven and at all speeds.
Driver's side low beam headlight keeps going out due to faulty socket/wiring. Was replaced initially because factory socket melted at bulb contacts. Have replaced socket twice now, but if wires are at a certain angle going into the socket, the headlight will go out. Problem will usually present itself when turning car on, have to get out and give the headlight assembly a smack to get it to come back on. Also very limited room inside headlight assembly, leaving wiring cramped at an odd angle and in the direct path of the locking mechanism for the access cap.
I have had issues with the driver side low beam headlight burning/shorting out since I bought the car almost 5 years ago. Usually I just replace the bulb and it burns out shortly but then we had it rewired. Worked for a couple months but the whole wiring is messed up again and they want to take the bumper off to see what's wrong. Too expensive for what the car is worth. I searched on some forums and I am not the only person who has had this issue with this car.
I live in alaska and I've never gotten a notice and I've been in two collision because of it and I haven't known why. I've had to pay my deductible because of it and numerous damages because of it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed and the brake warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the gear shifter would engage into neutral, park, or drive independently. The failures occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to bay ridge chevrolet (1575 86th street, brooklyn, ny 11228, 718‑232‑0186) where a diagnostic test located a failure code for the body control module, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The contact stated that the repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Airbag service message &. Dash light comes on. Often. , when I put my fog lights on. It turns the headlights off. It was in motion &. Parked
Tc shuts off. The tail lights quit working. I changed the bulbs with new ones and now the blikers on the drivers side is not working. The tail lights are still not working. Possible short, corroded, or bad connection. I cannot drive this safely during low light conditions.
Front driver side low beam headlight keeps blowing out.
Brake lights are on while accelerating & go off when braking.
I received a letter from gm stating the body control module may not work properly and cause the brake lights to not function correctly. The lights can either stay on or not come on when the brakes are applied the letter says they will extend warranty coverage but not repair the car unless it actually fails. This is a safety concern and not acceptable. Gm should be made to correct the body control module and recall the vehicles. I cannot see the if the brake lights are functioning from the drivers seat.

My driver side headlight keeps going out when I went to change it the harness was melted and almost caught fire...we changed the harness out and it still will not work I am sick of getting pulled over for my light being out..I also have picture of the old harness that was on the car from where I got it from..
My headlight burned out on the driver's side of the car. I replaced it and it lasted about two weeks and then burned out again. Found the socket melted and burned up real bad. I replaced the headlight socket assembly and it worked for about a month and then would come on only when I slammed the hood (sometimes.) and then stopped working for good. The bright light on the driver's side of the car worked fine up until then, but soon after went out so I replaced that bulb and socket assembly with no result. Neither bright nor dim light works on driver's side. I can't figure it out. No one can tell me why it's doing it, and none of the mechanics I've been to have any idea why the headlights aren't functioning properly (at all.) it's frustrating. It's dangerous. And it has cost me more money than lights should ever cost a person. I haven't driven the car in months because I'm tired of getting pulled over. It sucks and I still am paying on this car and can't even use it. I hate pontiac. Gm needs to shutdown. Never been satisfied with a gm vehicle.

The passenger side low-beam light bulb burned out. Replaced and it burned out again within 2 weeks. Replaced again and saw that the socket wires and part of the socket where the bulb meets the socket had melted. This is not a standard gm replacement part. I purchases an aftermarket wire harnes/socket for the low-beam. A couple weeks later, it did the same thing. My local authorized gm dealer replaced the wire harness for the whole headlight assembly (not under warranty) but said I would need to replace the whole assembly to fix the low-beam. That part is over $200 so I tried another aftermarket wire harness/socket that had heavier gauge wire. It worked for about 3 months and the bulb has burned out again. Keep in mind each time I have purchased the correct light bulbs. I have now been pulled over by police 3 times since this issue began. Each time I was given a warning but also each time I had repaired the problem shortly after. I have now spent more than $250 just because the low-beam issue. This is a critical safety component that should be resolved by the manufacturer. The cause behind the melted wire and socket could cause a fire. This electrical problem has cost me money, time and stress. I wish to not own this vehicle anymore. However, I can't have a clear conscience about selling this vehicle to someone and I will not recommend the pontiac g6 to anyone simply because of this critical safety issue.
