2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

AUTOMOBILE PURCHASED AS NEW. ROTORS NOT VENTED PROPERLY AND WERE REPLACED WITH BRAKE PADS AT 32,200 MILES. INSISTED THAT DEALER/PONTIAC CORPORATE HANDLE UNDER WARRANTY. AT 32,900 MILES CAR STOPPED AT LIGHT AND DID NOT ADVANCE WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED FULL REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE SPRAG "BLEW UP" AND WAS COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. WILL NEVER LEASE OR BUY PONTIAC AGAIN. *TR

I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF AN ISSUE MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IS HAVING. PEOPLE THAT ARE FOLLOWING ME REPORT THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE SOMETIMES ON WHEN I AM NOT PUSHING THE BRAKES, AND OFF WHEN I AM PUSHING THE BRAKES. I HAVE ALSO HAD INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. I FOUND A RECALL FOR 2005, AND 2006 PONTIAC G6'S WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM (NHTSA ID# 09V036000). I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2007 MODEL AS WELL. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 STEERING NOISE " CLUNK " WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY G-6 USED. IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED A POPPING IN THE STEERING. IT SEEMED TO GET WORSE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE PLACE I PURCHASED IT. THEY STATED THAT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRIC ASSIST STEERING. I WENT TO THE GMC DEALER, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE CLUNKING GOT SO BAD, I RETURNED TO THE GMC DEALER AT WHICH TIME THEY SAID THAT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY ET AL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED IT UNDER A FACTORY WARRANTY AT THAT TIME APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, THE SAME THING STARTED AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME AGAIN, NOTHING IS WRONG. THE STEERING CLUNKS, FEELS LIKE IT STICKS AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. I JUST HOPE THAT NO ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE GMC/PONTIAC WILL NOT DO A RECALL TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM TO A BETTER SAFER DESIGN. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 PONTIAC G6 FOR MY DAUGHTER IN NOVEMBER 2008. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY OR NOT STARTED ON OCCASION. RECENTLY SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY IN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID LIGHT IS ON. UPON RESEARCH WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE G6 DOES NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP AND HAS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THE PONTIAC G6 HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY IS A CONCERN AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT GM HAS OFFERED TO ITS CONSUMERS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHEN ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL, AND THEN THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED. SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 44,000.

I WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN AS MUCH. THE OTHER CAR NEARLY HIT ME BUT MANAGED TO PULL UP BESIDE ME TO TELL ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I DROVE LATER THAT NIGHT AND NOTICED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR THAT MY LIGHTS WERE ON ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I DID APPLY THE BRAKES, MY LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MEINEKE TWICE ALREADY AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ABOUT EVERY NIGHT THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. I AM UNABLE TO NOTICE IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS DURING THE DAY SINCE I CANNOT SEE THE BACK OF MY CAR THEN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I FEAR SOMEONE WILL REAR END ME AND IT WOULD BE MY FAULT BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND I DO NOT FEEL AS IF I SHOULD GO PAY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I AM WORRIED I MADE THE WRONG CHOICE UNLESS I CAN GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

WHEN WE WOULD TRY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, WE COULDN'T. THEN WE NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BRIGHT, LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. SO WE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEN WE PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH ALOT OF FORCE AND FINALLY WE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. WE FOLLOWED THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES. *TR

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 GTP. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM PONTIAC THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SUNROOF DRAIN HOSES. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE CORRECTION. ABOUT 1.5 YEARS LATER AFTER MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF STANDARD WARRANTY I FIND THAT THEY ARE NOW LEAKING INTO MY PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT AREA IN BETWEEN THE BODY OF THE CAR AND THE INTERIOR PANEL. THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTS ME TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE THEY SAY THEY CONDUCTED THE REPAIR. *TR

I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED DUE TO THE FACT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THIS FIXED AND NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY IM STILL HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ITS A LEASE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I PAY ALL THIS MONEY TO A CAR COMPANY AND NOW I CANT DRIVE IT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 PONATIC G6 BRAND NEW IN NOV 2006 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. GENERAL MOTORS AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT TRYING TO HELP ME AND THE CAR IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT WHICH MAKES THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE U ARE DRIVING(2X), STEERING WHEEL COLUMN KEEPS MAKING A NOISE WHEN I TURN BACK UP OR PULL FORWARD(ALL THE TIME), WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING(1X), REMOTE START AND KEYLESS ENTRY DOESN'T WORK(HAS BEEN REPLACED OVER TWO TIMES AND STILL DOESN'T WORK) DISPLAY SCREEN SAYS MY AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED AND NO IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATED WITHOUT PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHICH CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ENGAGED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURES WHICH THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,428. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,503.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. A CHIME AND WARNING WILL OCCUR, BUT POWER STEERING MAY STILL WORK AT TIMES. THEN WITHOUT WARNING THERE WILL BE NO POWER STEERING. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW THE REASON. I HAD NOTICED THAT NHTSA PEO7023 HAS DOCUMENTED THIS PROBLEM. SO I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AND THEY STATED THAT IT PROBABLY FALLS INTO THE REASONING STATED IN ABOVE ACTION NUMBER. *TR

CLUNKING IN STEERING EVERYTIME I STOP AND GO AND EXIT TURNS. IT IS ALOT LOUDER DURING STOP/AND TURNS. VERY LOUD, I CAN ALSO FEEL IT ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN MY HANDS. *TR

MY PONTIAC 2007 G6 AS VIBRATION IN THE SEARING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. PONTIAC HAS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF THE CUSTOMER PAYING FOR IT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS AND I COULD CREATE. I HAD GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE AND THE BILL WAS FOR EIGHT HUNDRED PLUS DOLLARS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND I STILL HAVE THE WARRANTY. PONTIAC STILL WONT FIX IT. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN NOV. OF 2008. BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN. THE HIT AND RUN OCCURRED ON THE 12TH OF DEC, 2008. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 PONTIAC G6 USED IN JUNE OF 2008 WITH 15,000 MILES. SINCE I HAVE HAD TONS OF WARRANTY WORK DONE. BUT THE ISSUE I AM HAVING NOW IS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE DASH COMING ON AND THE RADIO SAYING SERVICE AIR BAG SOON. IT FIST HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WE BOUT THE CAR. SO WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE IT WAS ONE OF THE WARRANTY ITEMS THAT I WANTED TO BE FIXED. WHEN I SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS THE LIGHT WAS ON, AND BRING IT BACK WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN. WELL THE NEXT TIME IT CAME ON WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO EVEN TRY AND TAKE IT. SO IT CAME ON AGAIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WITH 37,500 MILES ON IT NOW. SO I TAKE IT BACK WERE I NORMALLY GET IT SERVICED AND PURCHASED THE CAR, BEING AS IT IS ON MY WAY HOME. WELL THEY SAY THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT WASN'T THERE ANY LONGER DIDN'T MAKE A NOTE OF IT SO IT WOULD COME OUT OF POCKET AND AT $88 JUST TO PLUG THE COMPUTER TO IT AND ME BEING FLAT BROKE I COULDN'T DO IT. ALL I WANT IS IT TO BE FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. AND THEY WON'T DO IT DUE TO LACK OF ABILITY ON THE PREVIOUS SERVICE MANAGER. THEY GAVE ME GM'S NUMBER TO CALL AND SEE IF I COULD GET GOOD WILL WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID NO AS WELL. THIS INS ALL ONLY 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. NO ONE HAS GOT HURT YET BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IF I AM GOING UP THE ROAD ONE DAY AND GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY IN MY CAR. THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES OF MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 VALUE LEADER WORN OUT PREMATURELY. I BOUGH THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2007, AS BRAND NEW, FROM A GM DEALER IN TORONTO CANADA. THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER WITH NEW ONES, AT 23700 KM ONLY DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR. *TR

CLUNKING IN STEERING WHEN EXITING THE TURN. CLUNKING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AND START MOVING, ESPECIALLY IF I GO TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. REALLY LOUD, YOU CAN HEAR IT EVEN WITH THE MUSIC PLAYING. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 HAVE THE SAME BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE AS THE 2005 AND 2006 CARS WHY ARE THE 2007S NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE NOISE WAS VERY UNFAMILIAR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,403 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

2007 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AT ONCE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TWICE BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS FIXED BUT ONCE WE LEAVE THE DEALER THE BRAKE LIGHTS START ACTING UP ONCE AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IN WHICH PONTIAC SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TO FIX RIGHT. SO FAR I HAVE NOT READ OF ANY DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE BUT I CAN ASSURE EVERYONE IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENS FROM THIS ISSUE THERE WILL BE LEGAL ACTIONS! *TR

WHEN TURNING SLOWLY MY CAR MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND THAT I HAVE FOUND OUT TO BE THE RACK AND PINION. I HAD IT REPLACED AND IT IS ALREADY DOING IT AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TO BRING UP MY SITUATION TO YOU. THANKS *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IN REVERSE, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE AND THEN FLAMES. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE STEERING COMPONENT WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. SHE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING HOSE AT THE COST OF $800. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 41,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING COLUMN, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATES ABNORMALLY WHEN IT IS DEPRESSED. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED ITS WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SQUEAK IN STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING. ALREADY HAD INTERMEDIATE SHAFT GREASED. SOUNDS LIKE SQUEAKY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. IT'S LIKE SOMETHING RUBBING IN STEERING WHEEL, I FIRST THOUGHT MAYBE THE SIR COIL. CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. TOOK INTO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S JUST PLASTIC OR RUBBER RUBBING IN STEERING COLUMN AND NOT TO BE CONCERNED & SQUEAKS ARE NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET WITH OTHER PONTIAC'S AND IT'S EITHER BEEN THE SIR COIL OR SOME CASES EVEN THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION. IT'S VERY ANNOYING. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THE BRAKES STAY ON WHEN NOT APPLIED AND GO OFF WHEN APPLIED. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. FRANKLY , I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NOT A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THIS PROBLEM ALREADY , ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE CAR MANUFACTURERS MISTAKE. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE - BRAKES SQUEAK AND CAR SHAKES WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, THEY SPRAYED SOMETHING ON THEM AND TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A "HUMID" STATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT HAPPENS DAILY. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY PONTIAC G-6 HAS STEERING PROBLEMS. IT STARTED OUT MAKING THIS POPPING NOISE WHENEVER I TURNED A SHARP TURN. NOW THE POPPING IS GETTING WORSE. I WAS INFORMED THROUGH A GUY AT WORK WHO HAS AN 08' G-6 THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE STEERING KNUCKLE. HE HAS TAKEN HIS TO THE DEALERSHIP COUNTLESS TIMES TO GET IT REPLACED AND THE NEW PARTS JUST KEEP GOING BAD. HE TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS BECAUSE OF LACK OF LUBRICATION, BUT YET THERE ARE NO GREASE ZERKS TO AT GREASE. WHAT A VERY POOR DESIGN, WHAT IGNORANCE, ESPECIALLY THIS DAY AND AGE. ITS COMMON SENSE THAT MOVING METAL PARTS NEED LUBRICATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW PROPOSAL TO FIX IT WAS TO PUT A PLASTIC SHROUD AROUND THE KNUCKLE, PUMPED FULL OF GREASE, AND JUST HOPE AND PRAY IT WORKS. I'M NO MECHANIC BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY CRAPPY IF YOU ASK ME. I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT YET, I'M HOPING I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, BECAUSE OF PONTIAC'S STUPIDITY. I'M HOPING THAT THEY COME OUT WITH A RECALL SOON BEFORE THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING CAME ACROSS 4 DEER, HIT TWO OF THEM DAMAGED MY FRONT END(HOOD,BUMPER,PASSENGER SIDE FRONT PANEL,PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT) AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

BRAKES BECAME SPONGY THEN HAD PROBLEMS STOPPING THE CAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BRAKES HAVE AN OPEN DESIGN AND USES INFERIOR BRAKE PADS. WITH THE OPEN DESIGN THE DISC ROTORS THEN CORRODE FROM THE WEATHER AND BECOME PITTED AND TEAR THE INFERIOR PADS TO PIECES RESULTING IN BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

DONT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED HASITATES TO SWITCH GEARS,CLICKING SOUND WHEN I TURN MY STEARING WHEEL,ALL TOGATHER RUNS LIKE '!@#$%. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 35,980 MILES I BEGAN GETTING 'CLUNKING' NOISES FROM MY STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHILE TURNING. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PONTIAC G6. IT IS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN. UNFORTUNATELY I WILL HAVE OVER 36,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BY THE TIME I CAN GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WHICH IF NOT ADDRESSED WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IF NOT ADDRESSED BY YOUR OFFICE. A REDESIGN AND RECALL IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN? ADDITIONALLY, THE FACTORY BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE ARE VERY CHEAP. VENTED ROTORS ARE NEEDED BECAUSE THEY WARP AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES DUE TO HEAT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 70 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN SWITCHING LANES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS.

WHILE TRAVELING LESS THAN 70 MPH ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE ENGINE MADE EXTREMELY LOUD NOISES, ESPECIALLY WHILE IDLING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 10,000.

DRIVING TO WORK ON A WINTER DAY, HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER ON TO DE-ICE SOME ICE ON BACK REAR WINDOW. I HEARD A "POP" SOUNDED LIKE A BALLOON POPPING, THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, THAT IS WHEN I SAW THAT MY BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. CONTINUED ON TO WORK, TRYING TO AVOID BUMPS ON FREEWAY. NO LUCK, WHEN I DROVE OVER A BUMP THE GLASS STARTED FALLING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR. WHEN I GOT TO WORK TRIED CALLING DEALER, KEPT GETTING PUT ON HOLD, CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY I ASKED THEM IF A CERTAIN GLASS COMPANY WAS ON THEIR LIST OF REPAIR SHOPS, IT WAS, I HAD TO PAY A $100 DEDUCTIBLE, THE REAR WINDOW OF CAR WAS REPLACED.

THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK ALSO HAS A BRUISED LIVER. ***WHY DIDN'T MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY**** *TR

STEERING MUCH LIKE OTHERS COMPLAIN HAVING IT SERVICED 2X NOW FOR GREASE REPACKING AT 35,000 KM AND AGAIN AT 50,000 AFTER HEARING CLUNKS. THANKFULLY IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SALESMAN HAS ADVISED MY A REDESIGN WILL PROBABLY BE DONE SOON, I HAVE MADE '!@#$% SURE THAT SHOULD THIS PROBLEM CONTINUE THEY WILL BE REPACKING IT AFTER THE WARRANTY FOR FREE AND IF AND WHEN A REDESIGN IS AVAILABLE IT WILL BE PUT IN FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

FRONT ROTORS POOR HEAT DISBURSEMENT WARPED AND NEEDED TURNING @ 20,000 KM. MECHANIC ADMITS STOCK ROTORS ARE EASILY WARPED ADVISED TO BUY AFTER MARKET ROTORS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THE SUN ROOF OF THIS VEHICLE CREATES SO MUCH WIND NOISE WHEN YOU EXCEED THE SPEED OF 40MPH OR MORE THAT IT WILL GIVE YOU A HEADACHE. I HAVE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER (WADE RAULERSON PONTIAC, BUICK AND GMC, GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA) AT LEAST THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE PROBLEMS OF REDUCING THE WIND NOISE. PLEASE LET ME EMPHASIZE THAT I AM NOT THE TYPE WHO GETS HEADACHES. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6...WITH 35,000 WE STARTED HEARING A CLICKING IN THE STEERING...TOOK IT IN...DEALER SAID THE GREASE HAD WORKED ITS WAY OUT OF THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT....INSTEAD OF FIXING IT WITH AN UPDATED OR IMPROVED DESIGN THEY PUT A NEW GREASE PACK IN IT....WHEN I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GREASE COMES OUT AGAIN..HE SAID BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL RE-PACK IT.....OF COURSE AT MY EXPENSE.....THIS SURE SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN DEFECT.......I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM...BUT GM (OF COURSE) WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TILL SOMEONE'S STEERING FREEZES UP AND THEY GET KILLED...I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GM GUY....BUT IM DONE WITH THEM...NEVER AGAIN! *TR

ON OCTOBER 31,2008 I WAS IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN I HIT SOMEONE STRAIGHT ON FROM BEHIND. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, NOR DID MY SEAT BELT LOCK UP. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE I WAS TOLD I HAD A MINOR CONCUSSION, AND NECK AND SHOULDER SPRAIN. MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL TWICE. *TR

NOTICED A KNOCK WHEN TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AT 40,000 HAD NOTICED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS WEARING MUCH FASTER THAN THE OTHERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT 44,000 SINCE THE KNOCKING SEEMED TO BE WORSE THEY ADVISED ME THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDS REPLACED COSTING ME $369.00 TOTAL PARTS & LABOR SINCE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HAVE LOOKED UP THE STEERING ISSUES AND THEY ARE VERY COMMON IN THE PONTIAC G6 I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM AS IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING CORRECTLY. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND PUSH THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS TO STOP THEY DON'T TURN ON, THEN WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE GAS (NOTHING TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL) THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHEN I GOT TO STOP AND PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE THEY TURN OFF ... ITS LIKE THEY ARE WORKING BACKWARDS....I HAVE TAKEN IT TO PONTIAC DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. MY DAUGHTER DROVE BEHIND ME TODAY AND WITNESSED THE VEHICLE DOING THIS FOR OVER A 10 MILE DRIVE W/ SEVERAL STOP LIGHTS IN BETWEEN AND CARS WERE SLOWING DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ONE WHEN I DIDN'T HIT THE GAS AND THEY THOUGHT I WAS STOPPED AND I HAD NOTHING TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL!! ITS DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE NEAR ME!!! THIS IS LIKE THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME ITS HAPPENED. I HAVE POLICE OFFICER FRIENDS THAT HAVE NOTICED IT AS WELL, STILL PONTIAC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. SEE THIS WEBSITE BELOW TO SEE HOW MUCH IT HAPPENS!! PONTIAC REFUSES TO FIND A FIX FOR IT!! GO DOWN TO POST # 24 AND READ FROM THERE LIKE 6-7 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0F6416/10. *TR
