“Ever since I purchased this car the headlights never stay on. It's either one or the other, no matter how often I replace them, one goes out.

“The brake lights on my Pontiac G6 2007 do not function correctly. When driving they stay on, when pressing on the brake they go out. My cruise control does not work either. I have changed the brake light sensor five times and it works for a day or so, and goes out again. I have read that other customers have this problem as well. It is very dangerous.”
