2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE WILL APPEAR AND THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE ONLY NOTICE IT A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT MY HUSBAND HAS NOTICE IT MORE. CAN THIS PLEASE GET RECALLED BECAUSE HAVING AIRBAG ISSUES IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. LOCKS UP NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. FOUND THAT THEY REPLACED THIS FOR THE 05,06, 08 YEARS BUT NOT 07? REALLY? APPARENTLY IT IS STILL A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED BY PONTIAC. I VIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND PONTIAC DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2007. NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. MUST REPLACE OR DON'T DRIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER MAKES OF CARS BEFORE AND THEY HAVE REPAIRED THEM IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THIS IS MY FIRST NEW PONTIAC THAT THEY REFUSE TO RECALL. NEXT NEW CAR WILL NOT BE PONTIAC. SPREAD THE WORD, DON'T BUY A USED PONTIAC G6. MINE WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT. *TR

POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. HAS DONE IT THE WHOLE 2 YRS I HAVE HAD IT, NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR GOOD. *TR

HEARING A POPPING NOISE EVERYTIME I TURN LEFT....GETTING WORSE....TOOK TO GET NEW TIRES AND BRAKES AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO TAKE TO PONTIAC TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NOISE WAS...(.HAD IT IN AT PONTIAC IN 2008 FOR STEERING)...I PAID $95 LABOR FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE STEERING GEAR WAS FAULTY...MY CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE,IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE STEERING GEAR IS FAULTY..I CALLED PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE STEERING AND I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR...IN MY SEARCH FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS I FOUND THAT I AM NOT ALONE AND THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF US G6 OWNERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING .....IS THIS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD......FROM WHAT I HAVE READ I WOULD SAY SO....I FEEL ITS TIME TO DEMAND A RECALL FOR STEERING ISSUES WITH THE G6, THERE IS A GREAT CHANCE THEY WILL LOCK UP OR YOU MAY LOSS YOU STEERING ALL TOGETHER FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS.....WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC AT PONTIAC IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE HIS ANSWERER WAS ...."I DON'T KNOW".....WHAT AN ANSWER TO GIVE TO SOME THAT IS ABOUT TO PULL OUT OF YOUR LOT.....REALLY *TR

A SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR 3-7 DAYS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T TURN ON FOR OVER 30 DAYS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PONTIAC/GM DEALER AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME AND THEY COULD NOT TEST IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER ABOUT 6-9 MONTHS LATER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SENSOR BELOW THE FRONT-PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE SENSOR AND SEAT CUSHION COMES AS A ONE UNIT AND BOTH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS AND LABOR WAS ABOUT $1500. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, I REALIZED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD CONSIDER RECALLING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTS HAPPENING AT A RELATIVELY EARLY STAGE OR AT LOW MILEAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING. THE CONTACT PERSONALLY REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED.ALSO, BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING BRAKES AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT ENGAGED AND WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. ONCE I DEPRESS THE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO ON AGAIN. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON RANDOM OCCASIONS, SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE AND THEN SOMETIMES THEY MALFUNCTION. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE WHILE OTHER TIMES IT WILL. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OCCASIONS WHERE THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THERE WAS CURRENTLY AN OPEN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ13001 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000. UPDATED 4/24/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL, BATTERY, AND REMOTE START ALL HAD FAILURES. ALL WERE REPAIRED EXCEPT THE REMOTE START. UPDATED 06/03/2013 *JS

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT OPERATE. THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WAS REPLACED, WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY PONTIAC G6 HAS HAD AN EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUE SINCE AUGUST OF 2012. PONTIAC WILL NOT HELP ME FIX THIS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL AND TURN ON WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS PERIOD. A GM TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT MY CAR AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT HE COULD DO TO FIX IT. WHEN HE USED THE TECH 2 TOOL, HE WOULD TRY AND TURN ONE TAIL LIGHT ON AND THE OPPOSITE WOULD TURN ON INSTEAD. PONTIAC WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR AT ANY DEALER FOR FREE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY AND MAYBE GET REIMBURSED FOR IT. I HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR BUT THIS IS THE WORST. MY PANORAMIC SUN ROOF LEAKS AND MAKES A TON OF NOISE WHILE I DRIVE. THE SUN SHADE FELL OFF ON IT AS WELL. *TR

AIR BAG REQUIRES SERVICE LIGHT APPEARS. PASSENGER "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL TURNS OFF MID DRIVING SOMETIMES, AND AT TIMES DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND SOMETIMES STAY ON WHILE IM DRIVING. THEY TURN OFF WHEN I ACTUALLY DO PUSH THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES. *TR

THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW BECAUSE WE READ THAT THE NHTSA IS CONSIDERING A RECALL ON ALL 05 TO 09 MODELS. THE TURN SIGNALS ALSO DO NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND I'VE HEARD THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO PARK BUT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESTROYED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A MINOR WHIPLASH INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING POWERS STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR FOR MONTHS. POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, THE WHEEL JERKS MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL SOMETIMES. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT SEEMED TO BE WORSE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE. I DID BRING IT TO A DEALER THAT TOLD ME THERE WAS EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON 2005 AND 2006 G6 MODELS , BUT NOT 2007. I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. YESTERDAY I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND I BELIEVE THE STEERING PROBLEM PLAYED A ROLE. THE WHEEL WAS JERKING, PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. WE WERE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT A FASTER SPEED. I DON'T KNOW HOW I ENDED UP BOUNCING OFF THE BACK TIRE OF A SEMI TRUCK IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME, BUT I WAS FIGHTING THE CAR TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. NOT ONLY WITH ALL THE "NORMAL" PHYSICAL FORCES, BUT THE CAR STILL WANTED TO GO ITS OWN WAY. OVER COMPENSATING AND FISHTAILING THE WHOLE WAY. THANKFULLY WE ARE ALL ALIVE, THE CAR PROBABLY WILL BE A COMPLETE LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE, SHE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO PARK BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER COULD NOT BE MOVED OUT OF DRIVE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY CAUSING THEM TO GO ON WITHOUT BRAKING AND ARE OFTEN NOT ILLUMINATED WHILE BRAKING. THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE ALSO CAUSES THE STABILITY CONTROL TO SHUT OFF. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME, NOT THE BULBS OR THE ANYONE OF THE 3 FUSES. WIRING HARNESS IS CORRODED. UNUSUAL PROBLEM FOR A 2007 VEHICLE. *TR

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WITH MY THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT AND LOCKED UP. WITH FIVE O'CLOCK TRAFFIC, I IMMEDIATELY USED MY BODY WEIGHT TO TRY TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT FLIP THE CAR OVER THE LEDGE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME BEGAN HONKING AND HAVING TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID HITTING ME. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE. AS I WAS WAITING, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON TO KEEP MY DAUGHTER WARM. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE STEERING UNLOCKED AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED OKAY. I DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION WHICH WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY. I WAITED FOR MY PARTNER TO ARRIVE SO SHE COULD FOLLOW ME HOME. AS WE STARTED DRIVING HOME, ABOUT A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT LOCKED UP AGAIN. AT THAT POINT WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. WE ARRIVED HOME, AND I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THE STEERING UNLOCKED. DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT LOCK UP. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED, AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED ILLUMINATING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER ATTEMPTING A TURN, HE WOULD HEAR A SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 02/27/13*LJ THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE SQUEAKING WAS A GEAR AT THE END OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT MAY GET WORSE OVER TIME. UPDATED 02/27/13

BRAKES, AND BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. TOO MANY ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS TO MENTION. TODAY, MY WIFE SAID HER POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. IT SCARES ME THAT SHE HAS TO DRIVE MY SON TO SCHOOL IN THIS CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE, AND FOUND NUMEROUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH OTHER OWNERS AS WELL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR HELP, TO NO AVAIL. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL YET? *TR

DRIVING DURING SNOWY CONDITIONS, I BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL AND SPIN OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT MY STEERING, THEN MY CAR FISH TAILED. I SLID INTO THE DITCH, NEVER USED MY BRAKES. I TOOK OUT A SIGN WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HIT ABOUT 3-4 TREES WITH THE FRONT END. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE AND HOW MANY THINGS I HIT, SHOCKS ME AS TO WHY MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

THE POWER STEERING STARTED SHAKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE SORT OF A VIBRATION. THEN LATER IT WOULD JUST QUIT WORKING. WE COULD STILL STEER THE CAR BUT IT HAD NO POWER ASSIST. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THE STEERING WORKS FOR AWHILE. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE PEDAL IN NOT PRESSED AND TURN OFF WHEN PRESSED , I CAN NOT FIND A REPAIR FOR THE PROBLEM THE PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME DUE TO THE FACT THAT DRIVERS BEHIND ME RECEIVE NO WARNING OF ME BRAKING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON WHILE I AM ACCELERATING AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I BRAKE PUTTING ME AT HIGHER RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING OUT OF PARK AS WELL AS MY CRUISE CONTROL CUTS OFF RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON AND LASTLY I AM ALSO HAVE A CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT THAT WILL NOT GO OFF. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHEN I CONTINUED TO PULL UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TRIED TO PUT MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 INTO PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT PARK. I COULD CONTINUOUSLY MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH REPEATEDLY AND NONE OF THE MOVEMENT WOULD REGISTER WITH THE CAR. MY CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE. WHEN MY CAR SAID IT WAS IN PARK ON MY GEAR SHIFT, IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE WITH THE COMPUTER. IF I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE, SINCE I AM ON A HILL, MY CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. I THEREFORE WAS FORCED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT BRICKS BEHIND MY TIRES TO KEEP MY CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD TRIED AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I DECIDED TO CALL MY CAR DEALERSHIP AND HAD ORGANIZED TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED, I EXPLAINED MY ISSUE AND HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG; MY CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE AND YOU CANNOT START A VEHICLE WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. UNDER MY HOOD, WHERE MY CAR IS IN CONTROL OF GOING FROM DRIVE-TO-NEUTRAL-TO-REVERSE ETC. WAS DISCONNECTED AND BROKEN. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD EXPLAINED MY ISSUE ONCE MORE AND THEY TOOK IT IN AND FIXED THE ISSUE OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS. I HAVE DONE MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THE SHIFT CABLE WAS BROKEN FOR NO REASON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. EACH TIME THE BRAKE WAS BEING DEPRESSED THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF BUT CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THEY NEEDED TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE FUEL ODOR AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT A FUEL HOSE THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

LEAKING GAS FROM TOP OF GAS TANK ON TO A HOT MUFFLER. AFTER REVIEWING INFO THERE ARE OVER 300 SIMILAR ISSUES ON THESE CARS! WHY AND GM ISSUED RECALLS ON ALL OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME FUEL TANK DESIGNS? PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IN JUNE OF 2012, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START PROPERLY, IT HAD A LONG CRANK. THEN I STARTED NOTICING A FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ODOR GOT WORSE AND WAS APPARENT WHEN JUST SITTING. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, DUE THE STRONG ODOR. THE GAS TANK WAS DROPPED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE PLASTIC PART ON THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED. THE EXACT REPLACEMENT PART WAS UNAVAILBLE AT THIS TIME; DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PART. SO THE DEALERSHIP SOLD MY MECHANIC A MORE EXPENSIVE PUMP, ONE THAT INCLUDED REPAIR FOR THE ODOMETER. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME.THE TOTAL COST WAS $988.88. I HAVE THE CRACKED FUEL PUMP IN MY GARAGE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO NO AVAIL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE STEERING BEGAN TO PULL THE VEHICLE LEFT AND RIGHT. IN ADDITION WHILE PARKED AND TRYING TO RESTART THE ENGINE IT WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT AN HOUR FOR THE VEHICLE TO START.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,818.

WHEN I PUSH THE GAS MY VEHICLES BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. WHEN I PUSH ON THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS GO OFF. I DO NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE.THIS IS A HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND GM, BOTH TELL ME TO BRING IT IN AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR ISSUES SIMILIAR TO THIS, MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT INTO THE RECALL. I HAVE DONE ALL WORK THAT THE RECALL SUGGESTS AND IT ONLY HELPS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON WHEN ACCELERATING AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. ALSO, FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. *TR

FRONT END RATTLES AND KNOCKS. WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS, LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING. GM NEEDS TO RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

I LIVE IN ARIZONA, AND I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A VERY POTENT SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING THROUGH MY A/C VENTS, VERY HAZARDOUS TO MY HEALTH, ALSO COULD BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I DID NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2007 PONTIAC G5. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT IT WAS IN USE. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE AND THAT IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NEED TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHICH DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE 2005-2006 G6 CARS, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF OWNERS OF 2007 CARS THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES BUT WE CAN NOT GET THE FIXES APPLIED TO OUR CARS BECAUSE IT'S NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL DATES....YOU GUYS SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT THINGS BEFORE YOU RANDOMLY SLAP A DATE ON THINGS. I BOUGHT MY G6 IN DEC OF 2006, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF, THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRING MELTED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON BY THEMSELVES AND WE ARE ON OUR THIRD ENGINE, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS BECAUSE WE DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL, BUT THEY DID THE OIL CHANGES. I AM TIRED OF POURING MONEY INTO THIS CRAPPY CAR, THE LEAST YOU GUYS COULD DO IS REALIZE THAT THERE WERE PROBABLY SOME OF THE SAME PARTS ON THE FLOOR WHEN THE NEXT YEARS MODELS WERE STARTED AND THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF THE NEXT YEAR AFTER THEY CHANGED THE PARTS ARE MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THE ISSUES AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER, THE POWER STEERING WOULD LOCK ON ME AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER ANYMORE. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE FROM GOING 10MPH TO 70MPH. THE ONLY WAY THAT I COULD STEER AGAIN IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AS I AM MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK IT. THANKFULLY I MANAGED TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS BUT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT FEW WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD BE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AND RIGHT BEFORE I HAVE TO TURN IT LOCKS ON ME SO I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH A G5 AND THEY DID A RECALL ON IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO G6 NOW AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY SAID BECAUSE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MY 10 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WONT COVER IT AND THEREFORE THEY WONT EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT (UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET). NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A GM CAR. *TR

THERE IS A FUEL LEAK THAT IS COMING FROM THE TANK AND FLOWS ONTO THE REAR EXHAUST SYSTEM. AFTER REMOVAL OF THE TANK, AFTER GM CARE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO, OUT OF WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT IT MIGH BE LEAKING FROM THE ORING BETWEEN THE FUEL PUMP AND TANK. WHILE WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE LATER THIS WEEK (ORING AND LOCKING CAM), I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEN NUMEROUS POST AND A HIGH FAILURE RATE OF A PLASTIC GAS THAT SUPPLIES FUEL TO THE ENGINE, SO I AM ASSUMING THAT THIS COULD BE CULPRIT AND A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM SINCE TO REPLACE THIS YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO GM AS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND A RECALL IN PLACE TO SAVE LIVES!! *TR

6/11/12; WHEN STARTING AUTO, LONG CRANK, GOT BATTERY REPLACED, BUT NOTICED A FUEL SMELL IN THE GARAGE. ON 7/12/2012, AFTER CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH STARTING CAR AND INCREASED FUEL SMELL IN GARAGE, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HILLES UNION 76 AND ALLOWED TO SIT OVERNIGHT. IT WOULD ONLY HAVE CRANK PROBLEM AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE. MECHANIC NOTICED SEVERE FUEL ODOR AND REQUESTED TO DROP GAS TANK DUE TO POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK. THE FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND TO HAVE A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC PIECE IN THE CENTER. HILLES UNION 76 ORDERED THE FUEL PUMP FROM JESSUP MOTORS IN CATHEDRAL CITY, CA. PART WAS REPLACED. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT & LABOR WAS $988.00. I WENT TO THE INDIO GM AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THIS PART. IT MADE NO SENSE THAT A FUEL PUMP WOULD GO OUT ON A VEHICLE WITH 45,000 MILES ON IT! HE TOLD ME, "IT WAS NORMAL". I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT AND HAD FULL INTENTION OF CONTACTING GM WITH THIS COMPLAINT. SO I KEPT THE CRACKED FUEL PUMP!TO THIS POINT GM IS NOT AGREEING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS PART OF RECALL, IT CLEARLY IS. *TR

MY SON NOTICED A SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM HIS CAR. WHEN I WENT OUT TO LOOK AT IT I COULD SMELL IT ALSO. IT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR BUT I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AND IT SEEMED TO DISSIPATE AS TIME WENT ON THAT EVENING. I JUST ASSUMED IT CAME FROM THE FILLER TUBE SOMEHOW MAYBE AFTER A TURN. THE NEXT DAY WHEN HE GOT HOME FROM WORK I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN HE PULLED IN AND THE SMELL WAS VERY STRONG AND STILL SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR AREA OF THE CAR. WE JACKED BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR UP AND THAT?S WHEN WE SAW GAS RUN OUT OF THE PROTECTIVE PLATE THAT SURROUNDS THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS TANK. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM A PLASTIC ELBOW THAT COMES OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP THAT FEEDS GAS TO THE ENGINE. YOU COULD ALSO SEE WHERE THE FUEL HAD BEEN SPRAYING ON THE MUFFLER WHICH IS LOCATED BEHIND THE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY. THIS VERY EASILY COULD A SERIOUS FIRE IF WE HAD NOT LOCATED THIS AS QUICKLY AS WE DID. I AM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE SAME FUEL PUMP DESIGN AS THE 2007 G5 THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT PLASTIC ELBOW CRACKING AND SPRAYING FUEL. THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

WHY WAS THE 2007 G6 NOT INCLUDED IN THE NEW RECALL BY GM FOR SEVERAL MODELS INCLUDING THE 2007 PONTIAC G5 FOR A SERIOUS FUEL LEAK PROBLEM? THE G6 HAS THE SAME FUEL TANK AND LINE THAT IS CRACKING IN THE VEHICLES RECALLED AND OUR G6 SMELLS OF GASOLINE SO BAD WE CANNOT PARK IT IN THE GARAGE AND FUEL CONSTANTLY IS DRIPPING FROM THE TANK. SEVERAL FORUMS LIST THIS PROBLEM AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE G6 YEAR 2007 AND UP. HERE IS JUST ONE: HTTP://WWW.G6OWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=12371 JUST DO A SEARCH FOR "FORUM G6 GAS TANK LEAK" AND YOU WILL FIND MORE COMPLAINTS. LOCAL DEALER WANTS OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE TANK, PUMP AND LINES AND WE READ THAT IT DOES NOT CURE THE PROBLEM WHEN OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS WORK PERFORMED. (DEALER INSTALLS THE SAME PLASTIC LINE THAT WILL CRACK IN THE HEAT AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX JUST THE LINE, STATING THE ENTIRE TANK MUST BE REPLACED) JUST WHAT ARE WE TO DO WHEN GM DOES NOT FIX A KNOW DANGEROUS PROBLEM? AND JUST WHY DID THIS RECALL NOT INCLUDE THE G6? AND WHY DOES OUR FABULOUS GOVERNMENT WHO BAILED OUT GM NOT MAKE THEM FIX KNOW DEFECTS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE. ALSO THEY ILLUMINATE WHEN IN PARK OR WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ON SATURDAY (9/15/12) AND MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. SO WHEN WE GOT HOME, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. WE PICKED IT UP AGAIN ON MONDAY NIGHT AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. TUES, I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR BEHIND ME SKIDDED TO A STOP BUT SWERVED AWAY FROM HITTING ME. THE NEXT DAY I MADE MY HUSBAND CHECK THE LIGHTS, AND AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE WAS HAPPENING. I EMAILED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN AGAIN. SO I DID AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS IN MANY G6'S. HE REPLACED SOME BRAKE SWITCH OR SOMETHING AND DID WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY PONTIAC BUT SAID HE WANTS TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TOMORROW. I'M VERY CONCERNED B/C I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR B/C IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE, I WILL DEFINITELY GET HIT. THERE IS NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND RE: THIS ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS NO FIX. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE CAR A WEEK AND I DROVE IT FOR THREE DAYS. THE SHOP HAS HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS. *TR
