2008 Pontiac G6 complaints

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I'D NOTICED THIS BEFORE BUT THOUGHT LITTLE OF IT UNTIL SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PULL UP BESIDE ME AND INFORM ME STATING, "HEY, YOU KNOW YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING. ITS LIKE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING THEY'RE ON BUT WHEN YOU BRAKE, THEY TURN OFF, IT'S KINDA WEIRD." ONCE GETTING TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD ONE OF MY FRIENDS TRAIL BEHIND ME AND OBSERVE THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS INDEED TRUE. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DECIDED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE OR CAUSED SOMEONE THEIRS. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING DEPRESSED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO OPERATE. SLIGHT APPLICATION ON THE BRAKE PEDAL CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OFF. CRUISE CONTROL WILL WORK IF YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. DRIVERS BEHIND THE EFFECTED VEHICLE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY STOPPING BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, EARLIER MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S THE HOLD UP IN RECALLING LATER MODELS WITH THE SAME DYSFUNCTION???? *TR

2008 G6 SEDAN. REAR DRIVER SIDE POWER LOCK INOPERABLE. THE LOCK MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BY THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WITH A SMALL CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON IN THE BACK SEAT WHOM CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOOR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE LOCK IS POSITIONED TOO FAR REARWARD FOR FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS TO UNLOCK WITHOUT CLIMBING INTO THE BACK SEAT. MORE THAN ANYTHING, THE POSITION OF THE LOCK IS WHAT MAKES THE FAILURE MODE SO POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AS DRIVER APPROACHED A 2 LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO CONTAIN VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC LANE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT RESPONSIVE. AT SOME POINT THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MODULE REACTIVATED BUT ONLY MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN HEAVY FRONT-END PASSENGER SIDE DAMAGE AND CONTACT DAMAGE TO ALL CORNERS OF THE VEHICLE. DESPITE TRAVELING BOTH BACK AND FORTH ACROSS TWO LANES SEVERAL TIMES AND MAKING CONTACT WITH THE BARRIERS EACH TIME, NEITHER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DRIVER'S HEAD CAME IN CONTACT WITH HIS SIDE WINDOW CAUSING TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. PASSENGER'S AIR BAG COVER WAS KNOCKED ASKEW BUT AS NOTED DID NOT ACTIVATE. EMT'S ADMINISTERED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AT THE SCENE, BUT DID NOT TRANSPORT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM SCENE AND SUBSEQUENTLY JUDGED "TOTALED". I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE EXACTLY ONE WEEK AND 5 HOURS BEFORE THIS EVENT. NOTICE I DO NOT CALL IT AN ACCIDENT: THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS FROM THIS MODEL AND YEAR SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OUR ROADS IMMEDIATELY. MANUFACTURER HAS A "SERVICE BULLETIN" OUT ON THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST'. THEY REFER TO IT AS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT. SEE SB-10183 *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2008 PONTIAC G6 4CYL AUTOMATIC FOR MY DAUGHTER. EVERYTHING WORKS FINE EXCEPT - BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY AND NOTHING WORKS FROM A KEY FOB AND THE DEALER COULD NOT PROGRAM IT. THE REAR DOORS MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED, OR UNLOCKED. ALSO, CANNOT LOCK OR UNLOCK REAR DOORS FROM THE FRONT DOOR SWITCH. BOTH FRONT DOORS DO LOCK AND UNLOCK PROPERLY BY THE DOOR SWITCH AND THE PARK POSITIONS, BUT NOT THE REAR DOORS. THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY WILL NOT OPERATE ANYTHING AND THE DEALER STATED I NEED A NEW BODY CONTROL MODULE TO PROGRAM THE KEY FOBS. THE CAR HAS THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY AP8 CODE AND THE DEALER SAID A REMOTE SHOULD WORK AFTER PROGRAMMING, BUT THEY COULD NOT DO IT. I PAID DEALERS $200 FOR SCANS ONLY TO FIND OUT THE FUNCTION IS LOCKED, THEY SAY. AND NOW DEALER WANTS ANOTHER $550 FOR A NEW BCM AND APPROX. $100 FOR A NEW REMOTE KEY FOB, AND MAYBE ABOUT $300 OR SO MORE FOR BOTH REAR DOOR LOCK LATCHES REPLACED. I DECLINED. DUE TO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS TO ME THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL OR A FIX AT NO CHARGE BY GM. *TR

MY DAUGHTERS BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL SHE PRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN THEY GO OFF! I'VE TRIED THE DIELECTRIC GREASE THAT THEY SAID TO USE AND IT LASTED 2 DAYS. SAD THING IS THAT UNLESS YOU FOLLOW HER EVERYWHERE AND AT ALL TIMES YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF THEY'RE WORKING OR NOT! *TR

VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE PROBLEM IS VERY CONSISTENT IT HAPPENS DAILY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE HAS ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A CURRENT INVESTIGATION BY YOUR AGENCY AT THIS TIME. PLEASE HELP! *JS

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE. THEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. -CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF, BUT ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE FIRST ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TRUCKS BEEPING AT ME AND CARS FLASHING LIGHTS AT ME FROM BEHIND BECAUSE BRAKE LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME AND ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO SOMEONE OR RAGE DRIVERS BEHIND ME. *TR

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" KEEPS COMING ON. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE THEY STATED IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE G6 MODELS. I THEN RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THE SAME THING, THE PROBLEM IS A BAD SENSOR AND COMPUTER. RESETTING THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH IS 600.00 AND CHANGING OUT THE SENSOR IS 1200.00 AND THAT STILL DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND IT IS UNKNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP IF THE AIRBAG ACTUALLY WORKS! *TR

-BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE. THEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. -CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF, BUT ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE FIRST ISSUE -WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THE CAR DOES NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL I TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE THE SERVICE TIRE MONITOR WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON THEN SHORTLY AFTER THIS, MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ALSO TURNED ON. IT TURNS OFF AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED HOWEVER IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I START MY CAR.

AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE THE SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. SHORTLY AFTER THIS, MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ALSO TURNED ON. IT TURNS OFF AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED HOWEVER IT DOES THIS ABOUT EVERY 5 TIMES I START MY CAR. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT IN A BUSY AREA THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ALL OF THE SUDDEN ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT IMPACT. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER INTO THE MICHAEL'S STORE NEAR BY. THE AIR BAGS HIT MY HEAD AND ARM. THE ENTIRE SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE SEAT MECHANISM EXPLODED FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO THE BACK PASSENGER. *TR

I BEGAN TO NOTICE STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM VEHICLE WHICH LEAD ME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE FUEL LINE AS STATED IN RECALL 09V-419. UNFORTUNATELY THE G6 IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE G5 IS. BECAUSE OF THE FUEL LEAK, GAS MILEAGE IS SUFFERING GREATLY. G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RECALL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT ENGAGED. AS SOON HAS BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIS-ENGAGED BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE CAR STAY ON, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS RETURN TO NORMAL OR WORK IN REVERSE, BUT ONLY FOR APPROX. 15 SECONDS THEN TURN ON AGAIN. *TR

STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM CAR. PARKED IT IN A GARAGE AND THE SMELL WAS OVERWHELMING, PROMPTING ME TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LEAK. DISCOVERED THERE WAS IN FACT A FUEL LEAK. FOUND THAT THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL INVOLVING PONTIAC G5 MODELS AND THE FUEL PUMP CRACKING IN STATES WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES, HOWEVER, THE G6 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO PROPERLY OPERATE.

STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH 2008 PONTIAC G6 A YEAR AGO, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE STARTED COMING ON, CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WORKED ON TWICE, THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, PUT ON THE COMPUTER SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM. NOTHING HAS WORKED AND ALL THE SERVICE AND REPAIR COSTS HAVE COME OUT OF MY POCKET. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND STATE TROOPERS, AND HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. I JUST HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I GOT PULLED OVER AGAIN TONIGHT BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT WENT OUT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS DANGEROUS, I DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY AN HOUR AND A HALF EACH WAY TO A CITY, AND I AM SCARED EVERYDAY THAT SOMEONE WILL HIT ME BECAUSE THEY WON'T KNOW I AM BRAKING. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS RISKING MY LIFE, OTHER DRIVER'S LIVES, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE CONSTANT SERVICE BILLS FOR REPAIRS THAT DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPENING THE CONVERTIBLE TOP, THE PLASTIC HINGES FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,240.

THIS CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG BUT THEY HEAR THE PROBLEMS. THE STEERING MAKES A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING OR TURNING THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES SQUEAK, AND UNDERNEATH IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL OUT. IT'S PRETTY SAD WHEN YOU TAKE THIS CAR TO DIFFERENT PROFESSIONALS AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT THEY CLEARLY SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WHO WANTS TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR WITH NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT CAN'T BE FIXED.*JB

THE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, AND THE LAMPS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE. *JB

WHEN I FIRST NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING, TIRE FELT WEIRD. (RIGHT FRONT TIRE) LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE ITSELF WAS WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL, MOVING BACK AND FORTH (LEFT TO RIGHT). WE THOUGHT IT WAS RACK AND PINION..OR WHEEL BEARING. WE DID FLUSH OUT BRAKE FLUID IN HOPES THIS IS WHAT WAS WRONG..?..BUT..I FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL AND STEERING COLUMN AS WELL. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND I AM TO CHECK ON ANY RECALLS ON THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER BUT WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,471.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOORS COULD NOT BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME. WHEN FIRST PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY GO OFF BUT THEN GO BACK ON AFTER 3-5SECS. PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER SO THE BRAKES ACTUALLY APPLY, THE LIGHTS RE-ILLUMINATE. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WORKS INTERMITTENTLY WHICH FROM OTHER POSTS SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE. MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK JUST STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL - COULD BE UNRELATED HOWEVER IT ALL SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AT ONCE SO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS GOING BAD. LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME AND WHEN FIRST PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY GO OFF AND AFTER PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER THEY WILL RE-ILLUMINATE. BECAUSE OF THEM ALWAYS BEING ON THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WILL NOT WORK. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING IN "AUTO" MODE. AUTHORIZED DEALER SAID SOCKET WAS CORRODED AND MELTED. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, YET GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR OBVIOUSLY INFERIOR WIRING WITH POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS RESULTS. QUOTED REPAIR COSTS ARE EXORBITANT, AND BASED ON THE QUANTITY OF OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES, ONE WOULD EXPECT THAT GM WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE IN EITHER DIRECTION.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE SEAT BELT CONTINUED TO BEEP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

CURRENTLY OWN A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ENGAGE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. *TR

I NOTICED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THAT MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE, THEN ALSO AS I WAS DRIVING, IT JERKED BACK AND FORTH, CONSTANTLY SHAKING. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE IF THE CAR IS IN PARK WHILE THE WHEEL SHAKES. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND AM WONDERING WHY THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND THIS, BEING A SINGLE MOTHER, IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO GO BROKE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT I'M BEING QUOTED TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON THAN I THOUGHT. GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WHEN REVERSING AND ATTEMPTING A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,500.

IT IS TRULY WEIRD TO GET ON THIS SITE AND EVERY SITE ON THE INTERNET AND SEE ALL THE ARTICLE ABOUT THIS CAR AND THE STEERING PROBLEMS AND A RECALL ID NOT ISSUED GM KNEW THEY HAVE THESE ISSUE AND INSTED OF FIXING THEM THEY JUST RETIRED PONTIAC YES I HAVE THE THUNKING IN THE STEERING TO AND SO DO 1000S OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO WASTE TIME TYPING THIS THIS CAR IS DRIVING PEOPLE BROKE YES MY STEERING MAKES THE POPPING NOISE TO. *TR

THE LINE PROVIDING GAS FROM MY FUEL PUMP HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT AND HAS STARTED SPRAYING GAS. WHEN SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND ARE PAYING 800-1000 TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE JUST SO THEY HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND A MISTAKE THAT GM HAS BEEN MAKING CONTINUALLY ON SEVERAL MODELS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY GM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 ARE CONSTANTLY ON EVEN WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES AND RELEASE, THE LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF AND ABOUT THREE (3) SECONDS LATER, THEY WILL APPEAR AGAIN. MY ECM AND PCM WERE REPLACED DUE TO MY ENTIRE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN BUT THIS DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO THE ISSUE. FURTHER, MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED MY BRAKE SWITCH AND THAT STILL DIDN'T SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WE CANNOT SOLVE IT. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *TR

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAS HAD A "CLUNK" IN THE STEERING FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW. EVERY TURN I CAN FEEL IT AND HEAR IT, AND IT WORRIES ME. LOOKING IT UP ONLINE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. IT IS UNSAFE AND MAKES THE DRIVE LESS PLEASANT. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. FOR THE FIRST 30,000 MILES I HAD ZERO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS. THE FIRST WAS THE STEERING COLUMN, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN ITSELF. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND SO I PULLED OVER AND USED MY CELL TO RECORD THE MOVEMENT IT WAS MAKING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A COMPUTER MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN.( AFTER SHOWING THE VIDEO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THREATENING TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NEWS NETWORK) SOON AFTER THE POPPING BEGAN IN THE COLUMN WHILE TURNING. THE MODULE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE "LUBE KIT" FOR THE POPPING IN THE COLUMN HAD TO BE OUT OF MY WALLET TO FIX. ( OH HOW I LOVE THE ASS HATS AT GM ). STILL HAVE POPPING WHEN TURNING. THEN CAME THE RANDOMNESS TO THE HEADLIGHTS WORKING. ( OR NOT WORKING ) REPLACED BULBS IN LOW BEAM ( BOTH SIDES ) SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE NOTICED CORROSION IN CONNECTORS. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY ON. THE LIGHTS BEING ON CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK OR SHUT OFF WHEN LIGHTS ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER CALIPER IS STICKING AND EATING PADS, IM ON CALIPER NUMBER 3 AS OF TODAY WITH COUNTLESS PADS AND ZERO HELP FROM GM WITHOUT HAVING TO FORK OVER LOTS OF MONEY TO FIX A CAR (THAT OBVIOUSLY BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS) WAS HORRIBLY BUILT. ITS PRETTY PLAIN TO SEE CORNERS WERE CUT IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS HEAP. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK EVEN THOUGHT THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE FALLEN UNDER. US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 12V460000. THEY BILL READS:"REPAIR A: REPLACED TRANSMISSION CABLE" CABLE END SEPARATED. REPAIR B: FRACTURED SHIFT CABLE END FITTING LOCKING TABS CAUSE RECALL: INSTALL TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE KIT PER 12106" I FEEL I HAVE BEEN LIED TO AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I DON'T SEE A WAY THAT THE FRACTURED TRANSMISSION CABLE COULD BE A RESULT OF ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE FRACTURED CABLE END FITTING LOCKING TABS. I WAS FORCED TO PAY $300 TO PAY FOR SOMETHING CLEARLY RELATED TO THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE INDEPENDENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE BRAKES WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ENGAGE AND DISRUPT THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000... UPDATED 09-18-13 *BF

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING IN THE REVERSE. WHEN NOT DEPRESSED..THEY WERE ON. WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED..THEY WERE OFF. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DID NOT WORK. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE BMC AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS COST ME $412.00. IT IS NOW JULY OF 2013 AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I RESEARCHED IT ON THE COMPUTER AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A POSSIBLE RECALL. CAN I TAKE MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND GET IT REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE? *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING OF MY VEHICLE. FIRST THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT AND I REPLACED THE BULB, THEN DRIVER SIDE HAS WENT OUT AND THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED. ALSO I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS; I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL O'REILY'S AND AT FIRST WE THOUGHT THE LIGHT BULB NEEDED REPLACED BUT AFTER WIGGLING AROUND THE WIRES IT STARTED WORKING..THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AS OF THIS YEAR I'VE CHANGED BOTH HEADLIGHTS TWICE AND THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHT AND AS OF TODAY I HAVE ANOTHER HEADLIGHT THAT HAS BLOWN..I GOT ONLINE AND NOTICES SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE ON THE PONTIAC G6 THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME AND THERE IS NO CORRECTION FOR THIS FIXED EXCEPT HAVING THE WHOLE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY CHANGED WITH THE WIRING WHICH IS A 700 OR MORE DOLLAR FIX. I'VE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE AS OF YET. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS AND THIS IS STARTING TO BECOME A FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR ME. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MOVING ON ITS OWN, ACTUALLY TRYING TO WRESTLE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE DRIVER AND STEER THE CAR. THE "POWER STEERING" WARNING LIGHT IN THE DRIVER ALERT CONSOLE CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHIME TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF AN EVENT. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF CLUNKING AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH AS WELL AS WHEN THE WHEELS, DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING, APPLY FORCE AGAINST THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE POWER STEERING IS APPLYING FORCE TO COUNTER IT, AS IT SHOULD, BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE MAKING ALL THE NOISE THAT IT IS. THE CLUNK ARISES WHEN THE DIRECTION CHANGES AND IS MOST NOTICEABLE UNDER SLIGHT MOVEMENTS, NOT DURING A TURN. THE RACK-AND-PINION, TIE RODS, STRUTS, LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ARE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE SO IT IS NOT WORN STEERING GEAR, IT IS BEFORE THE RACK-AND-PINION. THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WILL APPLY ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT WILL MAKE THE CAR CHANGE LANES IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT QUICKLY REACT TO IT AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO PREVENT THE INVOLUNTARY LANE CHANGE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY BEING DOWNPLAYED BY GM. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY FOLLOWING 8 MONTHS OF INTERMITTENT OUTAGES. STOPPED BY STATE POLICE OFFICER AND INFORMED OF BRAKE LIGHT STAYING ON. CONFIRMED BREAK LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON WHENEVER BRAKES WERE NOT BEING APLLIED. WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS WERE APPLIED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF FOR APPROX. 5 SECONDS. FIXED BY APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS OF THE MAIN BODY COMPUTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IDLE. IN ADDITION, THE WHEELS MOVED ERRATICALLY WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,417. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,427.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOUD EXPLOSION. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WOULD SPORADICALLY DEPLOY WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING INVOLVED IN A CRASH, CAUSED BY MOISTURE IN THE CONTROL CIRCUIT. THE CONTACT DID NOT CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.
