I purchased the 2009 pontiac g6 in 2011, since then I've replaced the passengers side low beam head ligh bulb a total of 10 times. I've had 2 pig tails installed in the last 2 years; now the problem still persist as of today. Something is wrong with pontiac g6 headlights system. I've read serveral complaints of the same thing.
My brake lights will come on when I am driving and will go off when I apply the brakes. Also I will have warning lights come on randomly. Same issues under the federal safety agency campaign number 14v252000. Dealership has done recall work for this twice they told me and have charged me for the repairs and repairs to my warning lights as well and it is still not fixed. This happens everyday.

I've been replacing parts to try to solve the problem of why the brake lights stay on, the cruise control kicks off, the traction control stays on. All these problems are all at the same time.I get it fixed and then 3 weeks later its the same all over again but it keeps getting worse. Alot of people I know with this car keep spending money and it never gets fixed the right way. We all need a solution.
Low beam head lights go out when driving sometimes the left and sometimes the right. When I start the car headlights wont come on I have to tap on the headlight lens to get them to come on, have replaced bulbs and still happens. This has been going on since I bought the car. I have talked with other g6 owners that are having the same problem. When driving on the interstate and the lights go out it is very dangerous.
My car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year)the power steering warning light illuminated. The failure recurred intermittently and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now). When I smack the headlights, they come back on. I do not always feel safe when driving this car.
The low beam head lights are melting there connector makingthe lights to go out random and some times blowing the light bulbs. This happens at any time day and night in motion or not. It is extremely dangerous when the lights go out and im driving as I can't see anything and other drivers can't see me. The high beams do work but that is dangerous to drive with any traffic as it can cause them to not be a be to see.
Right headlight continues to blow out bulb. Replaced 3 times in 2 weeks. Not sure if there is a power surge causing the issue or a short in the wire. Appears to be a problem with this vehicle.
The solution gm has for recall #14v252000 does not work. The recall was fixed 9/2014 and on 10/31/15 the same problem was noticed. This has been noticed when the vehicle is in motion. Brake lights come on when brakes are not applied, go off when brakes are applied. I brought vehicle into a chevy dealership on 11/09/15. They replaced a brake pedal position sensor. Noticed on 11/09/15 in pm that the brake lights remain on and do not change when the brake is pressed. A service traction came on 11/10/15 and again on 11/17/15. I have not had an opportunity to drive behind the vehicle while this service traction light is on. I have taken a picture of the service traction light twice showing the mileage and time. I have read similar complaints regarding this the federal safety agency recall #14v252000 (gm recall #13036) on this website! I know this will not be taken care of unless a number of people die from an accident just like the ignition switch recall!!
The low beam headlight continuously burns out. I have replaced it 5 times approximately once per month. I am very careful not to touch the bulb. I have also bought the bulbs from different stores just in case it was a bad batch.
The headlamp socket has blown out 3 light bulbs since january (it is now july). The socket has totally melted and parts of it have broken off making it impossible to replace the bulb again. The socket and bulb have burn marks on them.
I have been dealing with the issue of the service traction light coming on in my car, which will cause my cruise control to not work, and, my break lights to either stay on all the time, stay on while I'm driving, shut off while I break, or, just not come on at all. I have at the bcm module cleaned 3 times, this is only a temporary fix. I have completed the recall the gm finally did, this did not solve the issue either. I finally today had to get my entire bcm module replaced, and a very high cost! I think that the recall should have replaced these entirely, because, obviously what they are doing to fix the "recall" is not working!

My 2009 g6 has 38,000 miles on it. I have had several problems with the low beam headlights. The pigtails are melted & burned. I have tried to replace these exactly as they were hooked up & now the drivers side light will not work.
We have had ongoing issues with the rear running lights shorting out and the driver's side low beam going out. We replaced fuses for rear running lights 4 times. I was pulled over by local police and had to be picked up to get home, leaving the car at police station until I could drive safely in daylight. We have replaced the low beam bulb 3 times. The low beam light would intermittently work at times. Now, again it is not working at all. I have read excessive consumer complaints stating the same problems with 2009 pontiac g6 vehicles.

2009 pontiac g6. Consumer sent in repair invoice. *ta recall # 14v252000.
Drivers side headlight went out while driving in very bad weather conditions at night. Replaced bulb and it worked for 2 days before the same thing happened. Replaced bulb again and it worked for about 10 days before it happened again. Now learning that this happens a lot on this car because the harness connector is melting and needs to be replaced but due to constant overheating it will not permanently fix this problem. Gm knows of this problem but deems it not their responsibility. Does there have to be a fatality before pontiac/gm takes this seriously?
2009 pontiac g6. Requesting reimbursement for repairs due to recall. *ta according to the repair invoice, the bcm shorted out. Recall #14v252000.
Issues with low beam headlights randomly going out then coming back on at first for a couple of months, then went out completely. Replaced bulbs (low beam) with same problems. Finally found that the low beam light sockets (primarily passenger side) were arcing and shorting out causing bulbs not to work. Recall should be issued to have gm remedy this problem. This is a chronic problem with this line of cars!

Head lights keep going out...the wires connected with the low beam lights are burnt and corroded. I have replace these parts 20 times since 2009. This time on january 1, 2015 the wires and connectors are to burnt to repair and the dealer ship said I will have to buy the whole harness kit assembly instead of just the wires. Why should I, this problems is far and wide on the internet with the pontiac g6. I travel with my job and I have experienced multiple times both headlights going out on me and I had to use the high beam just to get home. Please let gm know and issue some kind of recall before I die on the highway due to these faulty headlight wires.
Driver side highlight not working. Further inspection shows that the headlight wire is corroded & burnt. This is a common issue with this car & several others, yet general motors refuses to issue a recall which can lead to a dangerous situation.
