2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING A NEW REGULATOR PUT IN FOR MY POWER WINDOW AND THE TECH THERE DID A INSPECTION OF MY CAR AND TOLD ME THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING WHEEL THE SHAFT. HE THEN CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO PONTIAC CAME OUT WITH A NEW PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN ALL THE NEW G6S. WHY WAS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS MATTER TO THE PONTIAC OWNERS? THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER. AND THERE SHOULD BE NO EXPENSE TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS ISSUE. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT, THE STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE POWER STEERING WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID LINES FAILED, CAUSING POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, SMOKE WAS EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE CABIN WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING LINES. ONE WEEK LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AS SMOKED ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR HER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON 2/3/11 AT 56,000 MILES. I REPLACED THE BULB. ON 8/22/11, MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AT 60,000 MILES. I REPLACED THE BULB. ON 9/26/11, MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AT 61,000 MILES. I REPLACED THE BULB. I PURCHASED THE BULB FROM AUTO ZONE AND THE MANAGER THERE TOLD ME HE HAS HAD 10 CUSTOMERS WITH PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES COME IN REPORTING THAT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUALLY GO OUT. ON 10/1/11, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN AT 61,300 MILES. ON 10/4/11, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AT 61,400 MILES. I CALLED PONTIAC CORPORATE AND THEY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE AND THEY FOUND A SHORT IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING FINE NOW. FIRESTONE SAID THIS IS THE 3RD PONTIAC G6 THEY HAVE REPAIRED WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE TWICE FOR HAVING MY HEADLIGHT OUT. BOTH TIMES I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF OR WHEN THERE IS A RECALL, I'D LIKE PONTIAC TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

THERE IS A SMELL, LIKE REALLY DIRTY SOCKS FROM THE DASH. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR IS USED. TO SMELL IT YOU HAVE TO START THE CAR AND IT IS THERE. SOMETIMES THE HEATER IS ON OR THE AIR. IT ALSO BECOMES LESS NOTICEABLE WITH TIME, UP TO 10 MINUTES. IT IS A VERY STRONG SMELL. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH HAS A DIFFERENT SMELL LIKE ROTTEN EGGS. BECAUSE IT GOES AWAY MOST THE TIME I DON'T THINK IS A DEAD MOUSE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT IS NOT A DEAD ANIMAL SMELL. HELP. YOU WANT TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR THE FIRST TIME YOU SMELL IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A CHEMICAL OR NOT BUT MY NOISE BURNS A LITTLE. *TR

POWER STEERING FIRST STARTED SHAKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE ELECTRIC POWERING STEERING. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE, CAR IS HARD TO HOLD ON THE ROAD BECAUSE POWER STEERING SHACKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE NOW AT 75,000 MILES POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. EARLIER MODELS WERE RECALLED. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS, HE NOTICED A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000.

I HAVE HAD MY PONTIAC 2007 G6 GT FOR 2 YEARS & HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH IT . JUST 2 DAYS AGO I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE FUMES , BUT COULDN'T SEE ANY SIGN OF A LEAK SO I TOOK IT TO MY GOODYEAR MECHANIC & THEY FOUND A GAS LEAK WHICH WOULD HAVE ME REPLACE MY WHOLE FUEL PUMP . THIS PROBLEM I GUESS IS COMMON WITH THIS TYPE CAR . MY MECHANIC SAID HE JUST REPLACED 2 FUEL PUMPS SAME MODEL A WEEK AGO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A ESTIMATE ON HOW MUCH & THEY SAID THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 170,000 MILES I HAVE ONLY 80,000 . SO I WAS VERY HAPPY. STILL LOVE MY CAR. *KB

REPORTED CLICKING NOISE TO DEALERSHIP WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN WHILE BACKING UP AT 8355 MILES - DEALERSHIP CHECKED - VEHICLE WAS OPERATING WITHIN MANUFACTURES SPEC. AT 13313 MILES REPORTED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN STEERING DURING SLOW DRIVING AND TURNING - DEALERSHIP REPLACED INTERMEDIATE STEERING AND LUBED. AT 24008 MILES REPORTED A CLICKING NOISE AGAIN - DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AT 27987 MILES REPORTED CLICKING NOISE AGAIN - DEALERSHIP LUBED ALL POINTS OF THE STEERING PER GM. AT 36041 MILES REPORTED CLICKING AND POPPING NOISE - DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK. THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I AM CURRENTLY AT 65000 MILES AND THE CLUNKING NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER, IT CAN BE FELT THRU THE STEERING WHEEL, AND CAN NOW BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT AM I TO DO? NO ONE SEEMS BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. SINCE THIS IS A STEERING PROBLEM, ISN'T THIS A SAFETY HAZARD? *TR

EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

HAVE HAD ON AND OFF ISSUES WITH BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL 3 TIMES AND IT ALWAYS GOES BACK TO THE SAME PROBLEM... THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, BUT WHEN YOU DEPRESS/TAP THE BRAKES THEY GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER... AND THEY DON'T COME ON WHEN YOU NEED THEM. WE HAVE TRIED PULLING THE FUSES AND THE RELAY SWITCH AND THEY STILL CONTINUE TO STAY ON. *TR

THE STEERING ON MY CAR FIRST STARTED ACTING UP SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK FOREVER TO LOOK AT IT. FINALLY THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT EXACTLY SURE BUT THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO FIRST FIX THE STEERING MOTOR AND THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH JUST THAT. SO I HAD THE STEERING MOTOR REPLACED ON MY CAR, WHICH COST OVER $600 DOLLARS TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO HELP ME GET A GOOD DEAL. I HAD THE MOTOR FIXED AND WITHIN A WEEK AND A HALF OR SO THE POWER STEERING WAS GOING OUT AGAIN. IT WOULD GO OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THAT. IT WOULD GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN SECOND AND ON TURNS. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AGAIN SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A STEERING COLUMN NOW. I HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED BECAUSE A SENSOR IN THE COLUMN HAD WENT OUT AND THIS COST ME MORE MONEY. I WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG AND I COULD HAVE HAD THAT FIXED IN THE BEGINNING AND NOT RISKED MY SAFETY WITH DRIVING AROUND WITH A CAR THAT?S STEERING GOES OUT. ALSO I COULD HAVE SAVED MONEY. I SPENT OVER $900 TO GET ALL OF THE STEERING REPLACED. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY LIKE THAT TO BE SPENDING AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN ME A BETTER DEAL LIKE THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVE-ON; WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS ON 'FAST PULSE'; RAIN WAS MODERATE TO HEAVY; ROAD WAS HILLY; EVENT: WHEN THE CRUISE NEEDED TO DECIDE TO SHIFT GEARS GOING UP A HILL THE WIPERS STOPPED LONG ENOUGH FOR THE RAIN TO OBSCURE ALL VISION. THE STOPPING WAS REPEATABLE BY SETTING UP SIMILAR SETTINGS WHEN THE RAIN/ROAD CONDITIONS ALLOWED. THIS CONDITION EVEN OCCURRED AT 35 MPH, WITH CRUISE ON, WITH WIPER FAST PULSE IN LIGHT RAIN, AGAIN OBSCURING FORWARD VISION, ON A MUCH LESS HILLY TERRAIN. DISCUSSIONS WITH GM AT THE TIME RESULTED IN THE STATEMENT THAT BECAUSE GM OR THE DEALER COULD NOT 'OBSERVE' THE 'STOPPAGE' THAT 'IT DID NOT OCCUR.' SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO GET THE INFORMATION TO THE APPROPRIATE INTERNAL GM GROUP BUT NONE RESPONDED. SINCE THE CONDITION OCCURRED BOTH IN HILLY/MOUNTAIN TERRAIN AND IN HILLY CITY TERRAIN IT SEEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT ISSUE TO RESOLVE -- DUE TO THE LACK OF FORWARD VISION AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN PARK. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED THE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THE BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE SWITCH WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO EXIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY CAR COME ON WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE. I CAN BE DRIVING AND THEY WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES, I CAN TELL BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DIS ENGAGE AND WILL NOT RE ENGAGE. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM TO THE BRAKES, I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW ME IN ORDER TO TELL ME WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING. IT POSES A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE, YOU HAVE YOU BRAKE LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME SO CARS BEHIND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY STOPPING. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL CONCERNING BRAKE LIGHTS DIELECTRIC GREASE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON, WHEN THE BRAKE WAS NOT BEING APPLIED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. OTHER TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED RECALL# 09V036000 WHICH WAS ISSUED ON JAN 28, 2009 TO ADDRESS THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE 2005- 2006 AND NOT THE 2007 MODELS WHICH WERE BUILT IN LATE 2006. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE C-2 CONNECTOR, WHICH WAS THE VERY SAME FIX FOR THE RECALL. *JB

I BOUGHT THIS CAR, A 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT COUPE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IT ONLY HAD 37,000 MILES. IT NOW STILL ONLY HAS 75,000 AND THE BALL JOINTS ARE OUT! THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN THIS SOON. I HAVE ANOTHER CAR, A 1997 BUICK LESABRE AND IT'S BALL JOINTS ARE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS 167,000 MILES. IT CAUSED ALL OF MY TIRES TO WEAR OUT EARLY AND NOW I'M LOOKING AT OVER A 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN PROBLEM. THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THESE BALL JOINTS GOING BAD SO EARLY. I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK TO DRIVING MY MUCH OLDER BUT MUCH MORE RELIABLE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKE STOP LIGHT SWITCH AND ONE OF THE TWO REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE SIMILAR DEFECT UNDER NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10032206 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: SWITCHES: BRAKE LIGHT). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,535.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON AND AT TIMES IT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN THEMSELVES ON INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND ALL PASSENGERS HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE. TAPPING THE BRAKE WILL TURN THE LIGHTS OFF BUT SOMETIMES ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I'VE TRIED LUBRICATING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ON THE BCM AND I'VE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHTS. BOTH FIXES ONLY WORKED TEMPORARILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED AND WOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VARIOUS MECHANICS, WHO REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE SWITCH AND INSTALLED NEW BULBS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TAKEN IN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAVE HAD MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE MAIN SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE IS MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENTLY FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT WHETHER I PRESS IN THE BRAKES OR NOW. THIS CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO WORK AS WELL AS THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED BUT THAT ONLY CEASED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE PULL OVER BECAUSE THEY THINK I'M BRAKING FOR A DEER WHEN I'M NOT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IN WINTER WHEN THE ROADS ARE BAD AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NOW NEED TO. THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION AND SAFETY HAZARD. THE OTHER MAIN PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY PANORAMIC ROOF NO LONGER WORKS. IT WILL OPEN ABOUT A HALF AN INCH AND WILL GET STUCK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR THAT MAIN FEATURE AND IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE WITH A PANORAMIC ROOF. MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THESE EXPENSES BECAUSE I HAVE 40,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I BELIEVE PONTIAC SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A MALFUNCTION SUCH AS THESE TWO. MUCH ROOF ALSO MAKES A LOT OF NOISE IN WHICH I DIDN'T REALIZE BECAUSE NOW IT IS CLOSED ALL THE TIME AND WAS USUALLY OPEN BEFORE THIS. I WILL NEVER BUY A PONTIAC VEHICLE AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE THEM DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD LET PEOPLE DRIVE UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS VEHICLES O

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,200.

MY POWER STEERING BEGAN TO GO OUT. AT FIRST IT WOULD JUST GO OUT EVERY THREE TO FOUR DAYS AND THEN IT BEGAN TO GO OUT THREE TO FOUR TIMES EACH TIME I DROVE IT. IT WOULD GO OUT WHEN I WAS TURNING ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT ON MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS, TURN OFF MY CAR, RE-START IT, AND BEGIN TO DRIVE AGAIN UNTIL IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN AND I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I HAD TO GET IT FIXED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT COST ME OVER SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX THE STEERING MOTOR. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP OVER A WEEK AND A HALF TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY SAID IT WOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT THREE HOURS TO PUT THE NEW PART IN. I WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR THAT WHOLE TIME AND WAS ALSO LEFT TO PAY THE LARGE PAYMENT. GM DID NOT OFFER MUCH CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE IN HELPING ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND MY WARRANTY FOR THE MOTOR I HAD TO PURCHASE IS ONLY FOR 12,000 MILES OR ONE YEAR. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE PART WILL GO OUT AGAIN AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY YET ANOTHER $600. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL OF MY CAR, AND, ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS MADE IN JULY OF 2006, GM REFUSED TO PUT MY CAR ON RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED A 2006. I FIND THIS UNFAIR AND WRONG. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE MUCH HARM. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM AND ALSO FOR HELPING OUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THEIR OWN. IT IS SCARY TO HAVE YOUR POWER STEERING GO OUT AND THE CHANCE OF GETTI

MY 2007 G6 IS DISPLAYING AN ERROR MESSAGE ON ODOMETER READING AND POWER STEERING MESSAGE ON THE RADIO. I SUFFER FROM PANIC ATTACKS WHILE DRIVING, THEREFORE THERE IS NOT MANY MILES ON MY VEHICLE. LESS THAN 24K TO BE EXACT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I AM VERY CONCERNED. *TT

REAR BREAK LIGHTS NOT WORKING, BREAK LIGHT LAMP SWITCH FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING BEGAN PULLING TO ONE SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO BEGAN SHAKING AND WOULD LOCK SPORADICALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AT VARIOUS SPEEDS INTERMITTENTLY AND PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS OR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. LAST YEAR MY EXTERIOR BRAIKE LIGHTS WERE STRUCK ON. I HAD MY BRACK SWITCH REPLACED AND HAD THE BCM REPROGRAMMED. IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN A YEAR AND NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STRUCK ON AGAIN. WHEN I'M DRIVING THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND WHEN I PUSH ON THE BRAKE THEY GO OFF. THIS A SAFETY HAZARD AND VERY COSTLY SEEMING HOW I HAVE TO KEEP GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED. I READ ON THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM EXIST FOR MANY PEOPLE. WHY HAVEN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? *TT

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 PONTIAC G6 IN 2008. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AT 20,000 MILES AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS. WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE CAR MAKES A CRACKLING, LOUD SOUND. THE HEADLIGHT PLUGGER HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING BURNED OUT. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND I AM SORRY I DID NOT RESEARCH THIS CAR BEFOREHAND. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE PRICE THEY WILL CHARGE TO FIX EVERYTHING IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

FRONT END CLUNK/RATTLE/KNOCK ON BUMPS. *TR

BRAKE ROTORS WARPING AFTER JUST 7,000 MILES, TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY CUT THEM. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED SOONER (12,000 MILES). SHOULD BE A RECALL, BRAKES SHAKE THE FRONT OF THE CAR SO BAD THAT IT PRACTICALLY TEARS THE STEERING WHEEL FROM YOUR HANDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AT 70 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED AND THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED WHERE THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,300.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, CAUSING MOTORISTS BEHIND ME TO THINK I AM BRAKING. ALSO CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT COME ON WHEN NEEDED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SINCE THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS YEAR, THE RECALL SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE THE 2007 MODEL YEAR. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF 2007 MODEL YEAR CARS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 G6 WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT AND EVERY-TIME I TRY TO BACK OR PULL OUT ON A PARKING LOT OR TURN MY CAR STALLS OUT AND THEIR IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE IT STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND WHEN I AM TURNING I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BREAK LIGHTS STAYING ON WHEN I AM DRIVING I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THE CAR WILL KICK INTO GEAR AND JERK ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING THESE ARE ALL VERY SERIOUS ISSUES AND MAKE ME TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I WENT TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEIR ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR BUT THEY CAN RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR $118 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE MADE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS UP IN 2010 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS GM SHOULD RECALL THESE DEATH-TRAPS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATORS WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V146000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE) BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT MY 2007 G6 REQUIRES A SECOND NEW STEERING RACK AT 49900 MILES. THE FIRST ONE WAS REPLACE AT 33000 MILES. NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE TO PAY $900 OUT OF MY POCKET. THE DEALERSHIP MAKES NO EXCUSES FOR GM PARTS THAT ONLY LAST 2 YEARS AND 17K MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS AS EVERYONE ELSE: WHO OWNS THIS CAR: BRAKE SQUEAKING AND SHORT LIFE (REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REPLACED TWICE), INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, STEERING COLUMN PROBLEMS, ETC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM CAN IGNORE ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES REGARDING SAFETY! *TR

PONTIAC 2007 G6 GT STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF ISSUES SHIFTING AUTOMATIC TRANS INTO PARK AROUND 50 THOUSAND MILES. THE ISSUE BECAME APPARENT WHEN I PUT MY SHIFTER INTO PARK AND PULLED MY KEYS OUT AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT TWO PEOPLE AND ANOTHER VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WILL BE SHIFTED INTO PARK BUT ISN'T ACTUALLY IN PARK. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT SUPPOSEDLY MY SHIFTER CABLE HAS STARTED TO "FALL APART" MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT 66 540 AND IT HAS BECOME TO THE POINT WHERE I AM FORCED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED BECAUSE THE SHIFTER CABLE IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED ALMOST. I AM UNDER THE BELIEF THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF SOMEONE DOESN'T REALIZE THE CAR ISN'T IN PARK BUT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I AM ASKED TO PAY 400 DOLLARS FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE REQUESTED FOR GM TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND THEY HAVE DENIED MY REQUEST BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY TRYING TO REPAIR THE FACT THAT MY AIRBAG'S DON'T WORK THAT I FILLED IN A SEPARATE COMPLAINT ON HERE. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT ALMOST COST ME MY CAR AND COULD HAVE COST TWO PEOPLE THEIR LIVES OR AT LEAST THEIR MOBILITY. GM REFUSES TO ACCEPT THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE SHIFTER CABLE AND CLIP ON THE 2007 MODEL OF THE G6 AND NOT JUST THE 2009 THAT THEY CLAIM. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE IS PRESENT IN THE 2009 G6 AND HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2007. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BECAUSE GM SHOULD BE

VEHICLE WAS HAVING NUMEROUS ISSUE'S WHEN I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT UNDER "GM CERTIFIED" WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WHEN A PASSENGER EXITS THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING WILL KEEP THE AIRBAG SENSOR ENGAGED AND LEFT ON. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO BEEP FOR THE PASSENGER TO BUCKLE UP THE SEAT BELT UNTIL YOU EITHER STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR OR BUCKLE THE SEAT. THIS IS WITHOUT ANY WEIGHT ON THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG WILL ALSO RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND ON WHILE A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE DURING TURN'S AND OTHER COMMON DRIVING TECHNIQUES. I HAVE HAD THREE GM DEALERS LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THEY ARE PULLING A CODE OUT OF THE ECM THAT THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS... GM HAS FAILED TO FIX OR OFFER A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND I AM WORRIED THAT IF THESE CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER MY PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR FAULTY WIRING ETC ALL HAVE COME UP NEGATIVE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN PRESS ON BRAKE, BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT. SOMEONE CAN EASILY HIT ME IN THE BACK DUE TO BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION. THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON ENTIRE TIME DRIVING DOWN ROAD. I REPLACED BRAKE SENSOR AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 GT CONVERTIBLE 3.9 V6 MALFUNCTION OF EXHAUST SYSTEM BEHIND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS CAUSES A LOUD WHISTLE AT 2-3K RPM AND REDUCTION IN PERFORMANCE AND FUEL EFFICIENCY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND REPORTED ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS PARTICULAR SPORT EXHAUST ON THIS MODEL AND ENGINE. IT BEGINS AT APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES. THE GM DEALER NOR PONTIAC WILL ADDRESS AND FIX. COST OF REPAIR TO CONSUMER, $1500.00. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE EXHAUST ASSEMBLY FROM THE FLEX PIPE BACK. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 GT CONVERTIBLE. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THEN BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. MY VEHICLES SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE 2005-2006 G6'S THAT HAD A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. LOCAL GM DEALER STATED MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON RECALL AND ALL REPAIRS WILL BE BILLED. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. *TR

CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING VEHICLE. CAR EXHIBITS SOME JERKING IN STEERING WHILE TURNING.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IN APRIL 2007 BY SEPT 08 THERE WAS A STEERING ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN A NEW RACK & PINION BEING PUT IN BY THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD ANOTHER RACK & PINION REPLACED & A STEERING SHAFT REPLACEMENT. NOW IT FEELS AS IF THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING & THE DEALERSHIP NOR GM MOTORS WANTS TO HELP BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS YEAR MODEL CAR. *TR

STEERING MAKING POPPING NOISE AND NO POWER WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURN, STEERING VERY UNSTABLE ,CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND SOMETIMES WILL LOCK UP, DEALER SAYS NEEDS STEERING GEAR AND STRUT MOUNT AT A COST OFF 1300.00 DOLLARS

MY CAR WHEEL HAS BEEN LOCKING UP..AND SAYS I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. AFTER RESEARCH, EVERY CAR FOR PONTIAC G6 2005-2008 THERE HAS BEEN THIS PROBLEM. IT COVERED EVERY YEAR AND SKIPPED OVER MINE! THE WHEEL UNLOCKS AFTER HOURS TIME, BUT WITH NO POWER STEERING AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN ITS VERY SCARY ON A HIGHWAY. ESPECIALLY IF IT UNLOCKS IN A TURN. WHEN I CALLED PONTIAC THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR SERVICE TO BE LOOKED AT AND PAY FOR THE PART, AND I MIGHT POSSIBLY GET MY MONEY BACK. FROM WHAT I FOUND OUT ON THE WHEEL, ITS A SENSOR AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. AS YOU KNOW IN THIS ECONOMIC TIMES, A PART THAT'S 500.00 IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING IT WOULD BE SAFE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PONTIAC G6 OWNER WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME GET A RECALL ON THIS. *TR
