2010 Pontiac G6 electrical problems

Filed Jul 6, 2026 · Airbags, Electrical · AZ

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.

I have an issue with my power steering and eps turning off after my car has been cranked a minimum of 2 min maybe not even that long. My steering wheel also rotates (like shaking) without the car moving and if the car is being driven it poses a huge risk to crashing as the jerking causes the car to swerve. I took it to the dealership to have the recall issues replace seeing that the issues I am having are the exact same as the recall released on the pontiac g6 with recall # 14v153000 and also recall# 14e044000. The dealership insisted I was wrong after the service agent I spoke to that scheduled the appointment said all the part were there to fix my car and they seen the recalls. I need assistance as to what I can do to get this taken care of seeing as I am still paying on this car and I havent even had it two months yet

It started with the headlight going out again and again even after new bulbs. This car seems to have major electrical problems which a chain of events has turned into steering problems and the whole dashboard clicking and flashing to the rythym of the click. When the dashboard goes black the wheel wont turn at all. I know of someone with the same car who has the same headlight problem. Easy to get pulled over for that one. Called pontiac they wouldn't do anything. Will never buy a pontiac again.
