2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED ON, RAN ROUGH-TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (27,245 MI) & THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR BUT IT WAS BETTER TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MODULE. *JB

I NOTICED A 'BLOBBY'-LIKE PLASTIC SOMETHING COMING UP FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE DASH, ESP. WHEN IT WAS HOT. THIS HAD ONLY BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WEEK OR SO. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER, INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE WEATHER STRIPPING COMING AWAY FROM THE DASH AND THE WINDSHIELD.*JB

I HAVE A 2006 FOUR DOOR CAR THAT HAS NO CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ON THE BACK DOOR AND MY SON HAS FALLEN OUT OF THE CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. *JB

CAR WILL NOT START. IT WILL SHAKE LIKE ITS TRYING TO START BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. IT WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. I HAD BATTERY TEST DONE ON 33342 MILES AND IT STATED RATING:525 CCA MARGINAL BATTERY RESULTS:12.77V 507 CCA BATTERY MAY FAIL TO START VEHICLE BELOW 4 F OR UNDER EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS **CONSIDER REPLACING YOUR BATTERY BEFORE IT IS EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURE EXTREMES. THIS IS WHAT MY BATTERY TEST RESULTS. IT LEFT ME THREE TIMES!!!!! ONLY 33342 MILES... I GUESS I WILL GO TO GMC PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND GET A FULL TEST DONE BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES. MY BATTERY MUST BE REPLACED..... *JB

I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC G6 GT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE HORN WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS REPLACED. 6-8 WEEKS LATER, IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER HORN REPLACEMENT. THEN, THE STARTER SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS HANGING UP, LIKE IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED. SO, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SIMPLY RESET THE COMPUTER AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. 2 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I DISCOVERED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A MODULE WAS REPLACED REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE NEXT WEEK IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. 2 WEEKS AFTER THE RETURN, GUESS WHAT! IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. I GOT THE CAR BACK LAST WEEK, AND OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE WAS NOT WORKING YET AGAIN. NOT ONLY THE BRAKES/CRUISE, BUT THE STARTER STARTED HANGING AGAIN AND NOW THE DRIVERS' SIDE HEATED SEAT COMES ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF!!! MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE TUESDAY AND PONTIAC SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A BUY BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS ARE ELECTRICAL AND NOT MECHANICAL! I GUESS I WILL JUST WAIT ON IT TO CATCH FIRE! *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 - I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR STEERING PROBLEMS. FIRST REPAIR WAS A REPLACEMENT OF STEERING RACK AND ELECTRIC DRIVE. UNIT FAILED 2 WEEKS LATER AND ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THREE WEEKS AFTER THAT STEERING STARTED TO MAKE A POPPING NOISE DURING RIGHT TURNS. DEALER GREASED A JOINT BUT THERE IS STILL A HARD SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING IN THAT DIRECTION. I HAVE NOT SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT BUT AM FEARFUL OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STEERING DUE TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I AND OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED SO FAR. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE I LOST POWER STEERING. AFTER LOSING CONTROL, AND REGAINED MY COMPOSURE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. READING THE MESSAGE BOARD THAT SAID POWER STEERING WAS GONE, I CONTINUED ON HOME. THE NEW PART WILL COST $352.OO PLUS LABOR TO FIX. THE STEERING CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF. *AK

THE POWER STEERING IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN HAS BEEN FAILING RECENTLY. AT FIRST, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MUCH FREER WHEN TURNING LEFT AND VERY TIGHT WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT BUT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. I AM NOW GETTING A TOTAL FAILURE OF POWER STEERING ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. SOMETIMES, IT OPERATES PROPERLY, BUT TODAY IT CONTINUED TO FAIL AFTER THREE DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED IN THE SPAN OF ONE MILE. ALTHOUGH WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE 2006 G6 THAT WE PURCHASED IN 2005. WE HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, THE PASSING GEAR ON THE CAR DOES NOT KICK IN. WE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER A 2ND TIME ON 04/23/2007 BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND THE CAR DIDN'T KICK INTO THE PASSING GEAR AT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND WHEN IT DID THE CAR DROPPED DOWN TO 20 MILES AN HOUR AND JERKED AND FINALLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT WENT BACK TO A NORMAL SPEED BUT STILL WOULD ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE ON ITS OWN. TOOK IT TO THE DEAL WHO FINALLY GOT IT TO DO AS WE DESCRIBED BUT NOT HAS BAD, ON THE NEXT DAY THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO WE WERE TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US SINCE IT WASN'T FLASHING ANY CODES TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE IT FEELS AS IF THE POWER OF THE CAR IS DROPPING WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND I AM AFRAID TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL NOT GO AND THEY WILL BE INJURED. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER KNOWING THAT IT HAD AN ISSUE TURNED AROUND AND TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT CODES TELLING THEM THERE WAS A PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY DROVE THE CAR AND REALIZED THAT THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT HAD A BLOCKAGE THAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS STALLING OR THE POWER WAS DROPPING. WE HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE AC MODULE REPLACED. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS A SAFE CARE

BRAKE LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY! BRAKE LIGHTS EITHER WAS ON ALL THE TIME OR FLICKERED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT BY PUTTING ME IN ALT TRANSPORTAION ,BUT SEEMED THE PROBLEM ONLY EXISTED WITH ME FOR THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WHILE IN THEIR POSSESION, BUT WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THE PROBLEM WAS AGAIN THERE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, ABS MODULE, AND REPROGRAMMED THE BCM. BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. VERY DANGEROUS, NO ONE COULD TELL WHEN STOPPING ,SLOWING OR GOING OR JUST RIDING THE BRAKES. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED . *AK

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OCTOBER 3RD, 2006, AS A DEMO VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES. BEGININNING AT END OF DECEMBER MY HEATER/AIR CAME ON ITSELF AND RUNNING ON HIGH. UNIT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & KEPT APPROX 3 DAYS AND REPLACED COMPLETE HEAT/AIR UNIT. BEGINNING IN JANUARY MY CONSOLE LIGHTS COME OFF AND ON ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL GUAGES GO TO ZERO AND ALL LIGHTS IN CONSOLE LIGHT UP. VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND CONSOLE WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM AND STARTING DOING AGAIN THE THE VERY NEXT DAY. KEPT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AND HAVE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT TWO TECHNICIANS HAVE CHECKED VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AT 18,998 MILES VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED ROTORS WERE FAILING.

POWER STEERING COMPUTERIZED MODULE FAILED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. POWER STEERING LOSS ALERT APPEARED ON RADIO. WHEEL OF CAR LOCKED; VEHICLE WAS RENDERED UNSTEERABLE CAUSING CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY. VEHICLE HAD THIS EXACT MODULE REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP TWO WEEKS PRIOR WHEN POWER STEERING WAS LOST IN THE SAME MANNER W/THE SAME WARNING ALERT, BUT FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED AT A 2MPH SPEED IN PARKING LOT.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR VIBRATING IN AUGUST 2006. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS LATER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME I RODE WITH THE MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS VIBRATING BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF BALANCE. I HAD THE CAR BALANCED AND THEN IT BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED TO VIBRATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. I HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. THE CARE STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT. AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO TALK WITH A MANAGER. THEY THEN DIAGNOSED IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. THEY SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING IT IN SO THEY COULD GET THE NUMBERS OFF THE TIRE FOR THEM TO ORDER A NEW TIRE. THAT WAS 2.5 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE SINCE ASKED THAT ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE BE PUT ON THE CAR, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO THAT BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE A LETTER FROM A MECHANIC AT AN AGENCY THAT SPECIALIZES IN TIRES/WHEELS. THEY FEEL IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAVE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. *NM

I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT MY REAR DOORS ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 4-DOOR COUPE IS MISSING THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES IT SHOULD HAVE AS A STANDARD FEATURE. HAVING 2 SMALL CHILDREN I FIND THIS FEATURE INCREDIBLY NECESSARY ON MY VEHICLE AND THOUGHT IT WAS A STANDARD ON ALL VEHICLES. AFTER FINDING THIS I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT CHILD SAFETY LOCKS WERE DISCONTINUED ON THE 2006 MODEL OF THIS CAR AND THEN REINSTATED IN 2007 MODELS. I FIND THIS BOGUS. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE REAR DOOR CHILD SAFETY LOCKS. THE MANUFACTURERWAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE. THE MANUFACTURER CHECKED THE OWNER'S MANUAL, CALLED THE DEALER' AND THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EXPLANATION.

2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP DRIVING (APPROX 20-30 MPH) DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN A LARGE TRUCK CAME DOWN THE STREET IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I TURNED MY WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE CENTER LINE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TURN THE WHEEL BACK SO THAT I COULD GO STRAIGHT AGAIN. MY CAR HIT THE BACK WHEEL OF A PARKED CAR. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS IS CURRENTLY BEING ASSESSED. *JB

WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE, POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON CONSOLE. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I HAD TO RESTART CAR TO GET THE POWER STEERING BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN, SINCE THERE ISN'T A POWER STEERING PUMP IT IS ALL ELECTRICAL AND THE SWITCH IS IN THE COLUMN. THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PIECE WILL COME IN, BUT THEY SAID I COULD DRIVE IT AND IF IT GOES OUT AGAIN, IT WON'T DO ANY HARM, JUST BE A "SURPRISE". I PRAY THAT IT DOESN'T GO OUT GOING AT A HIGHER SPEED AROUND A CURVE. *JB

WHEN BELOW 32 DEGREES THE SIDE WINDOWS WILL FREEZE IN THE UP POSITION ALLOWING THE DOORS TO OPEN BUT NOT SHUT COMPLETELY UNTIL THE WINDOWS HAVE WARMED UP AND/OR I RUN A CREDIT CARD ALONG THE WINDOW AND SEAL TO LOWER THEM. THE ABOVE IS WORSE WHEN SNOW/ICE IS PRESENT. *JB

I HAD SEVERAL TYPES OF ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WAS RESET BY DEALER WITH NO CODES FOUND. THE NEXT WAS LOW COOLANT WARNING THAT WAS A DEFECTIVE WIRE AND REPAIRED. ANOTHER TIME THE VEHICLE SIMPLY WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER FILLING VEHICLE WITH GAS THE DASH PANEL WAS COMPLETELY OUT, VEHICLE RAN NORMAL. DEALER WAS AWARE THAT NO INSTRUMENTS WERE WORKING AND WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM, NO CODES FOUND. DOME LIGHT NEVER WORKED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE FIXED. IN DECEMBER I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND SMELLED MELTING OR BURNING PLASTIC AND SECONDS LATER A SMALL CLOUD OF FOWL SCENTED SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK . WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. AT THE TIME I WAS CERTIFIED PONTIAC RETAIL PROFESSIONAL AND AS OF NEW YEARS DAY HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN A RENTAL VEHICLE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL IN THE SITUATION AND AS A RESULT I HAVE SINCE LEFT MY JOB AS A GM SALES PROFESSIONAL. GM WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THEY DRAG THEIR FEET TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE WAITED UNTIL NEW YEARS DAY TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT TO GIVE GM AMPLE TIME TO RESOLV

TL* - THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE WEATHER WAS OVERCAST WHILE DRIVING AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SHE NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. UPON LIFTING THE HOOD A CLOUD OF SMOKE AROSE. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL, IMMEDIATELY THE BATTERY CABLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED . THE CONTACT CALLED GENERAL MOTORS ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY SENT OUT A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP.

FRONT OF CAR HIT A DEER GOING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MAJOR DAMAGE TO FRONT OF CAR AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER DID DEPLOY. LUCKILY HUSBAND WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPT 05, IN DEC 05 I WENT TO GO TO WORK ON A MONDAY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HAD NOT USED THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE. MY SON JUMPSTARTED IT AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE BATTERY COULDN'T HOLD A CHARGE AND THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY. IN FEB 06, THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN, I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND TOLD ME THAT I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR ENOUGH TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. I DRIVE MY CAR BETWEEN 17 TO 20 MILES A DAY. THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT WAS DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER TALKED WITH GM TECH SUPPORT WHO ALSO AGREED WITH THE DEALER THAT I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR ENOUGH. THEY ALSO CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE PARASITIC DRAW AND THEY ALL ARE FINE. ONCE AGAIN THEY RECHARGED MY BATTERY. ONE MONTH LATER IN MARCH THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE AND TOLD ME THAT GM TECH SUPPORT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND NO FURTHER TESTS WILL BE DONE. THEY AGREED TO LET ME COME IN AND HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. APPROX TWO WEEKS LATER THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AND IT WAS FAILING SO THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO HAVE MY BATTERY TESTED UNTIL THE END OF APRIL. I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL JULY 06 WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I HAD IT JUMPSTARTED AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERS

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT I AM LEASING SINCE 11/1/2005 AND SINCE AUGUST 2006 I HAVE BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY AND ENGINE ON AND OFF. THEN FINALLY ON AUGUST 21, 2006 I WENT TO GO START IT AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WHICH STARTED LEAKING BATTERY ACID INTO THE ENGINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IN MID SEPTEMBER 2006, I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND WENT TO START MY CAR TO GO HOME AND IT WAS DEAD. I WAS AT A STORE AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED AGAIN TO A NEAREST DEALER. THERE THEY FOUND IT WAS A WIRING HARNESS CHAFE AROUND THE STARTER MOTOR AND ALSO CONCERNING THE AIR CONDITIONING LINES AND THAT CAUSED A FEW FUSES TO BLOW. AS OF TODAY NOVEMBER 28, 2006 I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR AND THE DEALER CANT FIND WHATS WRONG. THE CAR JUST TURNED ONE YEAR AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY A PORTABLE JUMP STARTER BECASUE THIS CAR IS SO UNPREDICTABLE. IT HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS AND I AM TIRED OF IT. *NM

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE STARTING. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT I'VE HAD THE CAR JUMP STARTED 3 TIMES. AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL CRANK. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS INSTEAD OF HAVING IT JUMPED. I WOULDN'T MIND DOING THIS DEPENDING ON WHERE AND WHEN IT HAPPENS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND NUMBERS COMPLAINTS AT EDMUND.COM AND OTHER WEBSITES. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S SUNROOF HAD NOT BEEN CHILD PROOFED AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES OR WORSE. THE DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PUT CHILD SAFETY LOCKS. NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK HEAD ON IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE LEFT FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE FRONT SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT AND PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AND SEATBELTS WERE WORN. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED AND BOTH DRIVERS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE INJURIES TO THE CONTACT INCLUDED A SMALL TEAR TO A TENDON IN THE LEFT SHOULDER AND A CONCUSSION WHICH CAUSED POST CONCUSSION SYNDROME. NO INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE ON THE OTHER DRIVER. THE ROADS WERE DRY AND CLEAR. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY YARD. A TYPICAL FLORIDA STORM QUICKLY BLEW THROUGH. LIGHTNING STRUCK NEAR-BY SETTING OFF THE HORN, WHICH WOULD NOT STOP. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE CAR. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO THEN EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND A REPORT WAS MADE. MY DASH WAS MELTED AND THE INTERIOR IS RUINED MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DONE AN INVESTIGATION AND SAID IT WAS A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, WE COULD HAVE LOST OUR HOME. IT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION BETWEEN MY INSURANCE AND GMC. *JB

RADIO AND DISPLAY DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED; DISPLAY IS DIM SOMETIMES TO THE POINT YOU CAN BARELY READ IT THEN IT COMES BACK BRIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN, TIME AND TEMP CHANGES; THESE EVENTS ARE OCCURRING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IF NOT 2 -3 TIMES A WEEK; UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE IT STARTED. DATE GIVEN IS THE FIRST RECORDED DATE. *NM

2006 PONTIAC G6 TAKEN TO DEALER FOR NOISE IN FRONT WHEN STEERING. DEALER RETURNED VEHICLE STATING "THEY COULD FIND NOTHING." APPOX 2 MONTHS LATER VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK FOR SAME PROBLEM ONLY WORSE. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED WITH DEALERSHIP STATING THE RACK AND PINION NEED REPLACED ALONG WITH A RIGHT FRONT HUB (WHEEL BARING) BUT THE PARTS NEEDED ORDERED. ONE WEEK LATER DEALER CONTACTED AND STATED "PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER." THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL WITH THESE PROBLEMS. LATER TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND PARTS CANNOT BE PRODUCED FAST ENOUGH TO CORRECT THEM ALL. SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED VEHICLE WAS OK TO DRIVE. *NM

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN JAN 06, AT 3000 MILES THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WITH LOW COOLANT, IT'S BEEN IN THE 2 TIMES SINCE AND IS GOING BACK FOR THE SAME REASON 10/16/06. TOTAL THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE CENTER 7 TIMES INCLUDING THIS TRIP. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME FOR COOLANT LEAK. 1 FOR AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE, 1 FOR A PINCHED BRAKE LINE, AND 1 TO REPAIR ITEMS THE SERVICE CENTER LEFT UNDONE. 7 TIMES IN THE SERVICE CENTER IN 9 MONTHS, WOW SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG HUH? I HAVE CONTACTED THE GM 800 SPOKE TO 5 DIFFERENT REPS THEY SEEM TO BE OF THE OPINON NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 55-60 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CROSSING THE CENTER LANE. IT REMAINED LOCKED FOR ABOUT 30 YARDS AND THEN RELEASED. *NM UPDATE (10/9/08): THE STEERING IS ELECTRICAL. THE STEERING WOULD NOT BUDGE...I WAS PULLING DOWN ON IT WITH EVERYTHING IN ME TO TRY TO GET IT BACK INTO MY LANE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. OUT OF FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND GM UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, MY VEHICLE SAT FOR NEARLY 3 MONTHS BEFORE I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE RISK AND DRIVE IT.

THE EXHAUST PIPE TIP ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 (STANDARD MODEL WITH V6) HAS A SHARP EDGE THAT CAN CUT AND INJURE SOMEONE WORKING ON THIS VEHICLE. THE SHARPNESS OF THE TIP AND ITS LOCATION NEAR THE REAR BUMPER CAN EASILY INJURE SOMEONE WHO IS HAND WASHING THE CAR. I LACERATED MY MIDDLE FINGER WHILE WASHING THE CAR IN THIS AREA WITH A SPONGE. IT WAS ALMOST DEEP ENOUGH TO REQUIRE STITCHES. IF I DIDN'T HAVE IMMEDIATE TRAVEL PLANS, I WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE DOCTOR AND HAD IT STITCHED UP. *JB

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. TRAFFIC HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND DID NOT NOTICE AND STRUCK MY VEHICLE AT ABOUT 60 MPH. THIS FORCE PUSHED MY VEHICLE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING THEIR SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER STRAP AT THE TIME. DURING THIS INCIDENT, THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH THE MAIN SHAFT CAME FREE OF THE COLUMN AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S LAP WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE STEERING WHEEL. MY MAIN CONCERN WAS THAT, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE DRIVER'S LAP WITH THE SHAFT STICKING STRAIGHT UP, THE DRIVER COULD HAVE BEEN IMPALED WITH THE SHAFT THROUGH THEIR JAW AND UP THROUGH THEIR SKULL IF THE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED AT THAT TIME. I DO HAVE A DIGITAL PICTURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL PLACED LOOSELY BACK INTO THE COLUMN IF YOU NEED TO SEE IT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED DOWN AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BRIDGE AND CAME TO A STOP. THE OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS, BUT MINOR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MODERATE DAMAGE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY REPAIR SHOP WHO DETERMINED THE RIGHT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 09/12/06. *JB

MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THREE REPAIR ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND STILL HAVE NOT CORRECTED IT. ALSO, THE INTERLOCKING SYSTEM, WHICH IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED IN REVERSE, LETS YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT IN ANY DRIVE GEAR. *JB

MY CAR EVERY TIME I TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT MY TIRES WOULD MAKE A SQUEALING SOUND, SO MY HUSBAND THOUGHT I NEEDED MY TIRES ROTATED, I TOOK IT DOWN TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED BUT HE (SALES PERSON) TOLD ME THAT MY TIRES WERE FINE. WELL I WAS GOING TO WORK AT 6:00 A.M MY CAR STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT SO I WENT OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO GET MY CAR BACK ON THE ROAD BUT MY TIRES LOCKED UP OR SOMETHING B/C MY CAR STARTED TO SPIN IN CIRCLES, I TRIED TO GET CONTROL OF MY CAR BUT BEFORE I KNEW I HIT A TREE. WHAT SCARED ME THE MOST WAS THAT MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOYED, I HAD FRONTAL AND SIDE DAMAGE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR WHAT BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE GETTING ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE GAP INSURANCE. I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT IF MY SALES PERSON WOULD HAVE MENTIONED IT TO ME. NOW I HAVE TO PAY 3000.00 TO PAY THE REST OF A CAR THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE BEFORE I CAN GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A SCARY SITUATION I DON'T WANT PITY I JUST WANTED TO LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE SUNROOF GLASS BLEW OUTWARD. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT TO BE HEAT AND RECOMMENDED THE SUNROOF BE REPLACED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DASHBOARD WARNING FOR STEERING ILLUMINATED AND WAS AUDIBLE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE STEERING FAILED . THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESET THREE TIMES. THESE EFFORTS HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. FOR THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE STEERING SHAFT WILL BE REPLACED.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 4/12/2006. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS A PROBLEM SO WHEN THE PASSENGER ROLLS DOWN THE POWER WINDOW THE DRIVER CAN NOT PUT IT BACK UP. ON 6/29/2006 I TOOK IT IN FOR THIS AND THEY PUT GREASE ON MY WINDOWS AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH. IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING STOPPED WORKING AS WELL, SO ON 7/8/2006 I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH AGAIN AND REPAIRED THE WIRES TO THE WARNING FOR SEAT BELT. NOW HERE WE ARE IT IS 7/17 AND IT QUIT AGAIN ON FRIDAY THE 7/14/2006 SO I CALLED AND THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE KEEPING IT INDEFINITELY AND THE LADY WHO MADE MY APPT. SAID I SHOULD CONSIDER RENTING A CAR. I ARGUED THAT FOR AS MUCH MONEY AS I SPENT ON THIS CAR I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO, SO THEY AGREED TO PAY THE RENTAL. MY CONCERN IS THIS; THINGS KEEP HAPPENING WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHAT IF IT CAUSES A FIRE OR WORSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ME AND MY 3 KIDS IN IT. *JB

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 DOES NOT ACCURATELY REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE ONCE THE GAUGE REACHES THE FOURTH OF A TANK MARK. THE WAS ONE INCIDENT WHEN THE VEHICLE REGISTERED EMPTY WHEN MY CAR WAS FULL OF GAS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS MADE 3 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. TO DATE THE VEHICLE IS STILL GIVING A FALSE READING WITH THE FUEL GAUGE WHEN IT REACHES ONE FOURTH OF A TANK. THE GAUGE MOVES SPORADICALLY FROM 1/4 TO 1/8 TO EMPTY, AND BACK TO 1/4 AND SO ON. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS VERIFIED THAT THE PONTIAC G6 HAS REPLICATED THIS PROBLEM WITH 2 OTHER VEHICLES IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT CLAIMS THIS IS A COMMON FEATURE FOR THE PONTIAC G6. I SPOKE TO AN ENGINEER AFFILIATED WITH THE PROTOTYPE PONTIAC G6, AND HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. HE SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL OR SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE REQUESTED A RE-PURCHASE BE DONE ON MY VEHICLE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN REFUSED. I AM BEING STONE WALLED BY TWO INDIVIDUALS, AND ALL I REQUESTED IS THAT A PONTIAC ENGINEER BE CONTACTED TO VERIFY WHETHER THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *JB
