Description of the problem	I was driving my 2008 pontiac g6 and was pulled over by the police. The officer issued 3 service repair orders all associated with my low beam headlights not working. A month prior to this, in october 2013, the low beams stopped working. I was given a warning at that time so i went to a mechanic. They told me that my bulbs needed to be replaced. I purchased the bulbs for 20 dollars and paid 88 dollars for the service. About two weeks after that, i'd say mid-october, a friend told me my lights weren't on and sure enough they were not. So i avoided night driving until i could get them checked out for the second time. But then i noticed that some days the low beams were on and some days they were not so i figured it might be a short circuit or something having to do with fuses. But on that night in november, i absolutely had to pick my teenaged son up from the metro station one night so i used my high beams. I had no choice. The police officer pulled me over because of the glare the high beams caused and issued the 3 repair orders. I took my car to autozone where they did a diagnostics check on my vehicle. I received 4 printouts explaining that my problem was all related to the electrical system. I haven't had the repairs done yet because they will cost a few hundred dollars and i cannot afford it with a newborn baby and my resulting reduced work schedule. The lowest estimate i received was for 650. Furthermore, the dealer wants to perform their own diagnostics check for another 130 dollars. So because i haven't had the money to get the electrical problem fixed my vehicle registration is about to be suspended. Not only will i not be able to drive because the state will confiscate my tags, i won't be able to renew my tags or registration in the near future. I see that this is not a singular issue and this car definitely needs to be recalled.
