I lost my low beams about a year ago and also one high beam. Just one month ago that headlight went out also. I have read that there are wiring problems r/t the Pontiac G6. I am unable to drive my car at night without headlights. The fuses, bulbs and relay switches are intact and working. My mechanic says it’s a wiring problem. Is the manufacturing company responsible for this kind of problem? Other electrical issues are present. When my seatbelt is on I get a message that it is not. Sometimes if I wiggle or reinsert it the light goes out, but more often than not it is on. I also get messages that says my airbag isn’t working on drivers side. The check engine light goes on and off if I hit a good size bump. I also had a mechanic spray WD40 under my drivers seat and that made the check engine light go out for several months.

What 2010 Pontiac G6 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I was coming off of an exit on the freeway and all of a sudden my steering wheel seized up, I could not turn. My car smashed into a cement barrier completely demobilized the car and the a frame completely bent. The air bags did not go off.
Car turns off when idling and power steering and brakes don't work when idles.
Air bag light says service air bag headlight gets so hot it melts working wiper clip breaks off motor failing to activate wiper blades steering wheel wobbles and power steering fails in city and on highway
While ideling my car sometimes dies out but then cranks back up. I never know when this is going to happen. All of my traction lights are on and airbag light is on. My drivers side headlight goes on and off all the time.
Passenger seat no longer senses when there is a passenger seated so the passenger airbag off light is always illuminated. Passenger airbag won't deploy if needed.
Esc off and service ESC came on as soon as vehicle steering locked up then wouldn't turn at all when you try to turn it it jerked back to the other side. Burnt nasty smell from inside and outside car. Now car won't even start or nothing
Repeatedly this car is worked on due to something electrical. The headlight wiring has shorted or burned before and after the recall (multiple occurrences). Now airbag sensors shorted out and wiring was burned. That was just replaced however mechanics can't figure out clicking noise in steering column that causes cruise control and air conditioning to turn off. This happens from time to time while driving on the highway. 2014 intermediate shaft recall does not cover my car. This car is a money pit and the recalls do not ever fix the issues. I have video of the clicking yet nobody can explain it or fix it. The clicking is new (last few weeks) yet electrical issues shorting out has been reoccurring for years.
On april 16th 2016 I was in a car accident. Me and a friend were driving back to his house the road at night, when a deer crossed the road, I attempted to maneuver to dodge the deer and ended up going off the road and losing control of my vehicle. My car hit a fence line, as well a multiple small trees. The car was totaled yet my airbags did not deploy. I've already contacted my insurance company, and as everything starts to settle with them I'd like to know if there is anything I can do because of the fact that my airbags didn't deploy. We were both bruised up pretty badly, and had to go the the emergency room, and my friends wrist was broken in the crash.
Wires burned off light sockets. Both driver and passenger sides. Door lock solenoid went bad. Daughter was unable to get in or out of drivers door. Getting ABS warning light. Getting passenger air bag warning.
