Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Aug 10, 2012
Reported on Aug 10, 2012
| ON 12/31/2011 I WAS PULLED OVER FOR A BURNT OUT HEADLIGHT. UPON REPLACING THE BULB I NOTICED THAT THE SOCKET WHERE THE BULB PLUGS IN WAS MELTED. I PUT A NEW BULB IN AND IT WORKED FOR 3 MONTHS. WHEN THAT WENT OUT IN MARCH OF 2012 I REPLACED IT AGAIN. NOW IN AUGUST OF 2012 THAT BULB BURNT OUT. THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE MELTED HARNESS AS THE BULB THAT BURNT OUT WAS MELTED SLIGHTLY WHERE IT MADE A CONNECTION TO THE SOCKET. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE THAT GOES WELL BEYOND MY VEHICLE AS A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. WHEN THE LIGHT BULB BURNS OUT AT NIGHT IT PUTS EVERYONE AT A SAFETY RISK WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR | |
