2010 Pontiac G6: headlights failing or too dim

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.

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.

I bought this car from a dealership called drive now in lebanon tennessee. About 2 miles after signing and trading my vehicle for this one the ESC, tc off, check engine, low tire pressure sensor lights all came on on the dash. I took it to them 4 different times now and they stated to me it's an electrical problem and they claimed to have fixed it!! A month later it all began again. It starts with the driver side headlight going out then the passenger side headlight goes out and then all the lights come back on again. This time however once I replaced the light on the drivers side I noticed it had melted inside the wires. I drive home and seen the car was smoking from under the hood amd the battery cables were blazing with fire. Luckily I had a gallon of water that I put the fire out with. I am terrified to drive it and the dealership told me they are no longer liable to fix it because it was only their problem for the first two weeks. So now I have a car payment on a car that caught fire over their electrical engineering. What do I do to get this correctly fixed

There was an initial recall done to where pontiac put a bandaid on the problem with the headlights instead of fixing the problem. The bandaid was to just replace the headlight bulb. If you do research on the internet on this make model and year of vehicle the actual problem is the wiring harness and corrosion. Several people have had the issue but for some reason no one is reporting it but I am due to the fact that mine has not just affected the headlights but also my fuel pump which it caused it to shut off in the middle of interstate 68 with traffic coming up behind me. Luckily they realize I was having a problem and went out around me before hitting me. I have since been pulled over 4 times within the last several months due to the headlight being out which was what they recall was for. If you hit the light it comes on. I'm and tired of this and want this problem addressed and actually fixed. Again I was pulled over and issued a repair order for the issue that was a recall by pontiac but was never actually fixed.

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.
