| My brake lights keep lighting up as i am driving down the road. when i press the brake pedal the brake lights go out. this is a safety concern that should be addressed by the manufacturer. on cold days my windshield wipers will just quit working. i have had this into the gm shop two times and they say there is nothing wrong with the windshield wipers. | |||

| 2008 pontiac g6. the brackets which hold the headlights to the car are insufficient. the headlights bounce, shake, and wobble over bumps in the road causing repeated premature headlamp bulb failure and safety hazard for visibility reasons especially at highway speeds. bulbs have blown out 2 times since purchased as new in septmeber of 2008. dealer states there is no known fix for headlight problem. in addition, the driver's side window on the sedan model does not stay entirely closed....pushing the window up button, the window moves 1/4 after closing. *tr | |||

| Was driving my car in an ice storm when the windshield cracked with nothing hitting it. i was told it was a stress fracture caused by the heat on the windshield. i took the car to the dealer who said gm says the problem is rare and that it will not be covered. i feel that if heat from a defroster can damage these windshields this is a serious safety issue with the windshields. the dealer advised that at least four other vehicles with same problem came it that week. *tr | |||

| 2008 pontiac g6 has issues with possible defects. *nj the consumer stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle wandered. at 60 mph, the wandering increased and constant corrections had to be made to prevent an accident. the consumer also stated the brake pedal was too high and too far from the gas pedal. the consumer stated his foot did not come to rest evenly on the brake pedal, rather his foot came to rest unevenly on the pedal. the steering was inadequate. when the ratio between the steering wheel and the front driving suspension was too large, so at times of an emergency when a quick turn of the wheel is necessary to avoid a collision, such response is not available due to the defective construction of the vehicle. the response to the steering wheel was sluggish. the steering wheel did not turn with ease, but required excessive turning and excessive strength. the sunvisor extended too far down which impaired the consumers visibility. *jb | |||

| Low beam headlight (driver side) goes out randomly. have replaced bulbs and it happens again a few days later. after a few more days it goes out again and then a few more days it comes back. i have removed headlight assembly and used electirc tape to hold wires together tightly but it still occurs. seems to be a common problem with g6s based on all the problems posted on the internet. last time they decided to go out was on the highway in a snow storm. definite safety issue. | |||
