Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Jan 23, 2013
Reported on Jan 23, 2013
| I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS GOING OUT OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS ON MY 2008 PONTIAC G6. I REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THEM GO OUT AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, RESULTING IN NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.I CALLED GM WHO NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY A GM DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY WOULD EVALUATE THE SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY SAUERS DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOW BEAM CONNECTORS MELTING AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CONNECTORS AND BULBS REPLACED. I INFORMED GM OF THIS WHO THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS REPAIR COST. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND AM CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE MADE A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS TO HAVE GM REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR COSTS OF $305.08 BUT THEY REFUSE AND NOW WILL NOT RESPOND TO ME. *TR | |
