The electrical harness going to the drivers door doesn't function properly in any way shape or form. My locks blow a fuse every time you hit the button my trunk pop works with my key fob but not the actual button. My passenger window only goes down if you open the door completely but then only goes up with the pass. Switch and my car radio stays on even if I shut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car... Me not being able to get windows down or trunk open in an emergency is extremely dangerous and unsafe in every way and so is the door locks not functioning properly.... I demand a safety recall be issued on the wiring harness immediately....

One day my rear doors wouldn't unlock or lock, when this happens have to have someone climb into the back seat from the front seat to unlock. When you lock the doors u must check to see if they locked, there are days the looks work but most days they do not work. I feel this would be a safety issue if ever in an accident.

I own a 4 door sedan g6 with power door locks - the left rear power door lock has quit causing me to have to reach across the seat to lock / unlock the door = not ideal in case of an accident. My intermediate steering shaft is clicking and grinding inside the column and the headlight wiring harness continues to melt causing the headlight to go dim = all of these safety and fire hazards need recall.

Rear passenger door will not lock/unlock. Loud, rubbing noise coming from steering column when making turns. Low beam headlights work intermittently (got stopped by a policeman and warned of a citation the next time I would get stopped). I changed the bulb twice. Low beam headlight will stop working , but the bulb is not actually burned out. As a result, I had driver side bulb wiring replaced by dealer, due to charring that was present on the wiring harness. Then, it started working again. A month or so later the other one went out. Now the passenger side wiring is charred, but the bulb is fine.

Replaced both front headlight bulbs on multiple occasions. Replaced entire headlight unit to driver side and passenger side. Both headlight bulbs were out- new bulbs- wiring harness melted, along with other electrical issues associated with vehicle such as hot faceplate to radio; interior door handles; and shifter box. Recently the traction control message appears on the radio message area. Additional issue about a year ago wherein another driver informed me that I had no working rear brake lights.

The rear passenger door locks fail to unlock the door. The door can not be opened from the inside or the outside at all. I verified that it is affecting both the right rear and the left rear door lock mechanisms. This is a serious issue, as in a crash, the rear passengers will not be able to exit the vehicle, nor will they be able to be rescued/removed.

Door locks stopped opening back doors or on occasion wouldn't lock or unlock. If I am in a situation and someone is in backseat the doors would remain locked. I would have to roll down windows to unlock the backseat doors, before I could get an infant passenger and remove from car seat. Lord forbid I'm on train tracks.
