First verify everything else in car is working electrically speaking, especially other power seats and cigarette lighter / power plug and power mirrors.
First check power seat fuse.
If all good check power seat switch for a good 12 vt positve AND a good ground at the switch using an Ohm meter.
NEVER USE A TEST LIGHT IN YOUR VEHICLE AS YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF BLOWING UP AN AIRBAG. And they will cost you plenty of money to replace.
If you have power to the seat switch and if everything is working except seat motors unbolt the seat and check to see if the connectors from vehicle to the seat are tight and have not come unplugged. While you are there also check power at the seat motor and work backwards to power source.
Check power seat module, visually for water/rust on casing.
If this vehicle has had a water leak that ended up under seat the module could be fried.

Hope this has helped, most likely it it a switch gone bad.

Good Luck!

SOURCE: Raising the driver's Seat

I don't believe there is an adjustment for height

Was there a recall on 2008 pontiac g6 for transmission problems

Yes there was. Here is the exact recall and claim number. Also is a phone number you can call for further assistance.

2008 Pontiac G6 Power Train Recall 12V460000 NHTSA: Action Number: N/A Service Bulletin Number: 12V460000
  • Report Date:
    Sep 18, 2012
  • Component:
    Power Train
  • Potential Units Affected:
    426240
  • Manufacturer:
    General Motors Llc

Summary: General motors (gm) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 saturn aura and model year 2008-2010 chevrolet malibu and pontiac g6 vehicles, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. On these vehicles, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate.

Consequence: If the tabs were to fracture and separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to 'park' and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in 'park. ' the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.

Remedy: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer over the cable end or replace the shift cable as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on, or about, november 12, 2012. Owners may contact general motors at 1-800-521-7300.

Notes: General motors safety recall number 12106. Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153);
