The headlights have a known wiring issue. There have been reports of people that have taken thier cars to be repaired and then the same problem still exist shortly afterwards again. I am now going through this problem my mechanic was having issues finding the part. From what I have read the covering that goes over the wiring gets overheated and ends up melting the wire. This is clearly a manufactor problem and gm should be covering the expense to get this fix.

My brake lights go off when I hit the brakes and when I let off the brakes the lights come on. This is a recall on my car that has been fixed 2 times already. Both times the problem stopped for a few months then came right back. This is a hugh safety concern. I called the dealership and they said its already been fixed and don't want to fix it again. Please help.
This car was recalled in 2014 for a brake light issue. The brake lights stay on all the time until you apply the brakes. The lights go off when the brakes are applied. Gm supposedly repaired this problem in 2014 but the problem is the same now. My local dealer has told me this is a different issue and it will cost $400.00 to fix it. I have talked to 3 different people with customer service at gm but they will not resolve this problem. I own 5 gm vehicles but will never by another gm product

When stepping on the brake to engage the car into drive a clicking is heard and then brake goes to floor. Brake lighting does not work all the time but is on and off. The was a recall on other g6 vehicles 14v252000 for this issue but the dealer states this vehicle is not included. The other recall is for the same issues.
In mid-july, 2015 one headlight (dim) stopped working and within a few days, the other did also. I replaced both dim headlights on july 18, 2015. Within a week, both dim headlights stopped working. I limited my driving to daytime hours as much as possible. On or about december 7, 2015, the high beam light on the driver side went out. I replaced both dim headlights on december 9, 2015 since we had a trip planned that would involve some nighttime driving. The dim light on the driver's side went out within 24 hours and the other dim light went out on monday, december 28, 2015. I have mentioned this problem to two different gm dealerships, both of which advised me to pay to have the car diagnosed. Neither of the dealerships seemed concerned that there might be a safety issue and both declined to notify gm of the problem on my behalf.

Not sure how long the brakes have been that way .a friend brought to my attention while they were following me tried everything fix's it . While stationary everything appears to be normal .but while im in motion the brake light are on without any pressure on the brake pedal .and when pressure is applied the brake light go off. Very scary......
I have had to change my driver's side headlight bulb four times in four months. The last one that I had changed blew almost immediately after installation (within three hours).when I took it back to be fixed I was told that the connecter cable has melted because the light gets to hot. Now I have to have that part replaced as well, and I am given no guarantee that it will last either. The worst part is that the dealership wants $55.00 for the part and $143.00 for labor! Crazy!

There is a problem with the driver side headlamp. It was out, so I replaced the bulb in june 2015. Two months later, it was out again, so I bought a new bulb, thinking the first was purchased defective. I replaced the bulb for the second time, and about a week later I noticed it was out again. Then began suspecting another problem. I see gm just recalled several additional makes and models for this issue, but the pontiac g6 was not a part of any of the recalls. However, I believe the g6 is a part of this issue and should be added to the recall.
Was a a stop on a 2 way street getting ready to make a left turn and a SUV hits us from behind and send me forward with my right arm slamming into dashboard of car with a strained tendon in my shoulder shoulder. Called gm and they state the electrical problem on my car was fixed during our visit for another recall in jan 2014 however we were in an accident for the same issue they said they fixed!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 40 MPH, the brakes were engaged and the brake lights failed to illuminate. The contact was aware of the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the manufacturer advised the contact that the vehicle had been previously repaired under the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 61,000. Ma 10/14 the consumer stated the problem could be eliminated if the dealer would comply with the recall. Updated 01/11/16.
The traction control light illuminated as off, causing the car to jerk and slow and be difficult to handle, this was intermittent for 1 week, then the ABS, airbag and check engine lights would randomly come on and off, in any order, one or two at a time, then off then another one off and on. I had a recall done on the bcm issue last december, yet was told this was a separate issue with the oil control celenoid module and very common in these vehicles, which I am now paying to repair. Regarding the head lamps this has been an issue for the past two years, the bulbs would randomly go off and come back on on either side, I would change the bulb and it would happen again. Today I discovered this was a "service bulletin" and am having it repaired. However, since gm recognizes this is a problem and, has made new part for the issue, I feel this should have been a recall. Both of these issues could have compromised my safety at any time, which is why I feel they should be reported.
My brake lights do not aluminate, other vehicles are unaware when my vehicle is slowing down or stopped in traffic.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 144,000.
I had to replace the passenger low beam headlight back in february 2015 and again in april 2015. The low beam headlight went out again 3 days later. I have since been pulled over for a headlight lamp being out. I keep replacing the low beam headlight but clearly it's not the bulb. I had a 2008 pontiac g6 prior to the 2007 pontiac g6 and it had the same problem with the passenger low beam headlight. I called gm to see about recalls for this issue and was told it was the brake lamp malfunction. I specified that nothing was wrong with my brake lights and they then told me it was still under the recall so they scheduled and appointment with the dealership to have it fixed. Upon arriving home after I left the dealership for this recall and the passenger low beam headlight was still out. I immediately called the dealership back and told them it was still out and they preceeded to tell me it was not part of the recall. So now my headlight is still out and I have nobody to help me address this issue. It is a safety issue. I have to drive with the high beam lights on just to be able to see at night.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6 . On several occasions, the low beam headlights stopped illuminating. The contact replaced the light bulbs multiple times, but the lights continued to burn out. While replacing the bulbs, it was discovered that both light bulb sockets experienced burning and melting. The contact indicated that the odor of burning plastic was present when the headlights were activated for extended periods of time. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
Headlamp wiring is defective from the factory. Headlamp wiring and connectors burn out due to inability to withstand heat generated by normal factory headlamp bulbs. This is a widely known problem. Numerous complaints exist on this site, in addition to service bulletins. Every mechanic in town, dealership, body shop, etc. Says the same thing. "until they issue a recall, there is nothing we can do but keep charging you to fix the connector." I have paid three times to have this issue fixed and my car has 62,000 miles on it. When will someone investigate this and issue a proper recall? It is not safe to have your headlights suddenly go out when driving 75 MPH on the interstate in the middle of the night.
Replace the bulb but keep shortage out with the wiring burning. I don't know why but this the third time or more lost count. The most recently is 2/28/2015. I have to buy a whole headlamp because the wiring is burnt. I can take a picture of it you would like me too. Also, I don't want to get a ticket because I have a headlamp out.
