2008 Pontiac G6 complaints

ROUGH ENGINE IDLE, MISFIRE (DTC P0300) OR NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10024543 ). *TR

VEHICLE MAKES A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING, BRAKING, OR ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT. UNDERNEATH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD IT FEELS LIKE THE BOTTOM THE CAR IS FALLING OFF. THE BRAKES SQUEAK SO BAD. I HAVE TAKEN TO THREE SHOPS AND EVERYONE HEARS THE NOISE BUT CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. SOMETIMES WHEN I GET IN THE CAR THE AIR IS ON FULL BLAST WITH NO KEYS EVEN IN THE IGNITION. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12V460000 (POWER TRAIN). AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, THE CONTACT WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WHILE SECURED IN PARK WHEN IT ROLLED AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK SOLENOIDS OPERATE ERRATICALLY MOST OFTEN NOT LOCKING THE DOORS. *TR

IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR I HAD MY CAR PUT IN THE SHOP FOR A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENT I HAD THEM TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE CAR CRANKED THEM GO OUT AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THEN IT STARTED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE. SOME TIMES THEY BOTH COME ON OR ONE MIGHT. THEN AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD I MAY COME ON OR THE OTHER ONE GO OUT. WELL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I CRANKED MY CAR AND MY LIGHTS ARE ON AUTO SO WHEN THEY DIDN'T COME ON I TURNED THEM OFF THEM BACK TO AUTO AND NOTHING! I ONLY HAD HIGH BEAMS. AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD ONE WENT OUT AND THE OTHER CAME ON AND SO I DIMMED AND HAD ONE LOW BEAM. THEN THE OTHER CAME ON AND WORKED FOR A BIT BEFORE I GOT HOME I ONLY HAD ONE LOW BEAM. LAST NIGHT WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR ONCE AGAIN I HAD NO LOW BEAMS AT ALL ON HIGH BEAMS. HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER YET BUT IT'S A MATTER IF TIME FOR ONLY HAVING ONE LOW OR HAVING TO DRIVE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH MY LIGHTS ON HIGH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED ON SEVERAL SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON WHEN DRIVING. WONT SHUT OFF TILL YOU HIT THE BRAKES, BUT WILL OFTEN COME BACK ON. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SHUT OFF. WAS REAR ENDED IN JULY 2012. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF UNLESS I PRESS IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CRUISE ALSO DOES NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS WHAT IT WAS. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE LIGHT UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THEY TURN OFF WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CLOSE CALL INCIDENTS WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED...ALL THE TIME! CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT SUSPENSION. ON-LINE INVESTIGATION SHOWS HUNDREDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE. LEAKING/DISCONNECTED TUBES IN ROOF FROM SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES. CAUSED MAJOR LEAKS, WET INTERIOR, INCLUDING UNDER BACK SEAT. AFTER REMOVAL OF CARPETS AND SEAT, MUSTY ODOR REMAINS AND STAINING OF HEADLINER. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THESE REPORTS ON-LINE ALSO. *TR

I START THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, I THEN STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT TURN OFF. I HAVE VERY NARROWLY MISSED BEING REAR ENDED HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN THREE DAYS THANKFULLY NO BODY HAS BEEN HURT YET. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD SON THAT RIDES IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR! YOU GUYS NEED TO GET ON THE BALL, THE ALREADY KNOWN RECALL OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO EXPAND TO AT LEAST 2008. HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU NEED? THIS IS HOW ITS GONNA WORK, I GO TO A GM DEALER, TELL THEM MY PROBLEM. THEY TELL ME "OH, ITS JUST THE ....." AND I SAY "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?" "THERE IS A RECALL BUT NOT FOR THIS YEAR, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY" SEE THE PROBLEM HERE? *TR

REPLACED THE H11 BULB (DRIVERS SIDE) DUE TO IT NO LONGER WORKING. INSTALLED NEW BULB AND WITH A LITTLE WIGGLING OF THE CONNECTOR GOT IT TO WORK. THRU THE WEEK THE LIGHT WOULD WORK AND THEN NOT WORK. IF YA BANGED THE HOUSING IT WOULD COME ON. TODAY (JUNE 15, 2013) I WENT TO REPLACE THE H11 BULB AND FOUND THE CONNECTOR MELTED ON ONE SIDE. THE WIRE WAS EXPOSED AND SHORTED OUT. REPLACED THE CONNECTOR AND INSTALLED A NEW H11 BULB. SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE PASSENGER SIDE H11 BULB HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO. HIGH BEAM WIRING SEEMS TO BE INTACT WITH NO ISSUES. *TR

LOST ABILITY TO CONTROL STEERING WITH SWAYING AND SHUDDER, SLOWED VEHICLE TO GET CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY DURING A SNOW STORM AND MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE TERRIBLE AND VISIBILITY WAS ALREADY POOR DUE TO THE SNOW. IT WAS AFTER DARK AND SNOWING. I HAD TO EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY AND PARK ON A SURFACE STREET MILES FROM MY DESTINATION. IT WAS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY (FOR A SECOND TIME). *TR

REAR DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING WITH REMOTE ENTRY, THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING WITH FRONT DRIVERS/PASSENGER SIDE LOCKING MECHANISMS. TOOK TO DEALER WHO REPLACED LOCK ACTUATOR (?) UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY (AFTER MULTIPLE BREAK-INS BECAUSE REAR DOORS WEREN'T PROPERLY LOCKED!) *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN MICHIGAN, DURING A THUNDERSTORM, AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BUT HAD ZERO VISIBILITY. I LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWO YEARS LATER AND I WILL BE FILING A SEPARATE INCIDENT REPORT (IN ADDITION TO OTHERS. THIS IS A CRAP CAR). *TR

I WAS CHANGING MY FRONT PASSENGER DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP AND HEADLIGHT AND REALIZED THERE IS MASSIVE CORROSION IN BOTH LIGHT SOCKETS. THE REPLACEMENT BULB DID NOT INITIALLY ILLUMINATE AND IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES OF WORKING IT INTO THE SOCKET FOR IT TO FINALLY LIGHT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER MY DASH INFORMATION COUNSEL ILLUMINATED AND READ "AUTO LIGHTS OFF" INDICATING THAT MY RUNNING LAMPS WERE NO LONGER ON. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE THAT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAS CAUSE MANY PEOPLE TO ALMOST REAR-END ME IN INTERCITY DRIVING AND MANY PASS ME ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THEY ASSUME I AM "RIDING MY BRAKES." I'VE GONE AS FAR AS TO PUT DIALECTIC GREASE ON THE BODY COMPUTER TO PREVENT ANY CORROSION, BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. WE FOUND THAT IF WE PERIODICALLY UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG THE SAME COMPUTER IT WILL "RESET" THE BRAKES FOR A TEMPORARY AMOUNT OF TIME. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING PONTIAC ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT END UP BEING REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT "THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN ON THIS ISSUE." THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE AS MUCH THAT I WAS CALLING OUT OF COURTESY TO LET THEM KNOW SO THEY CAN PREVENT ANY ISSUES OR FATALITIES. I WAS URGED TO GO PAY A GM DEALER $$ TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULD FIND OUT THAT WAY.......WOW, THANKS PONTIAC, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO....PAY MONEY TO HELP YOU EXPAND YOUR RECALL. *TR

99 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT I HEAR A LOUD POPPING AND WINING SOUND STOPPED BY A CAR SHOP WAS TOLD THE STEERING DAMPERS WERE GOING BAD WAS TOLD IT HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS CAR I HAVE BEEN READING SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THIS THEY ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TOLD ME THAT MY TAIL LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. I INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND NOTICED THEY DID NOT ILLUMINATE UNTIL MY FOOT WAS OFF THE BRAKE. THEY DID NOT LIGHT IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE BRAKES WILL ALSO DRIVE AROUND SHOWING THEY ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED. *TR

2008 PONTIAC G6, BRAKE LIGHTS WORK OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. CRUISE CONTROL WON'T ENGAGE EVERY TIME (WORKS INTERMITTENTLY). *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CRUISE WOULD NOT SET. I WAS ALSO BEING FOLLOWED BY MY WIFE AT THE TIME. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, SHE ASKED ME IF I WAS RIDING THE BRAKES. I TOLD HER I WAS NOT AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON ALL THE TIME, EXCEPT FOR AFTER MAKING A STOP & RESTARTING THEY WOULD GO OUT BRIEFLY AND COME BACK ON AND STAY ON. SINCE THAT DAY THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH AS I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE TO WORK AND YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNLESS YOU TRY TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO PASS AN 18 WHEELER UP HILL, THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED INTO THE PASSING GEAR, AT 5000RPM ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. I ALSO LOST POWER-STEERING. A WEEK LATER WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK, I LOST POWER STEERING. NO FLASHING LIGHTS JUST NOW POWER STEERING. IT TOOK ALL I COULD TO TURN THE WHEEL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FIXED BY APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE TO CONTROL MODULE CONTACTS BUT PROBLEM RECURS WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR TO WILKINS BUICK JANUARY TO BE FIXED, THEY TOOK IT IN DID THE WORK IN 30 MINUTES GAVE ME BACK MY CAR . I WENT BACK OUT FEBRUARY 14 THE CAR WAS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS CUTTING OFF REVERSE GEAR WAS NOT WORKING WHILE IN PARK THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD BLINK.THEY DID A DIAGNOSTICS BUT THEY COULDN'T READ ANYTHING STATING IT WAS THE NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE PCM SONI TOOK IT SOMEWHERE IS THEY FIX WE D THE COMPUTER PROBLEM BUT NOT THE SHIFTER SO THE SHIFTER IS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS .THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP PUT THESE DEFECTIVE CARS ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR IS NOT AAFE AT ALL I WOULD LIKE THE PROPER HELP IN GETTING IT FIXED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR I WILL GLADLY CALL MY LAWYER ABOUT THE ISSUE THIS IS A DANGER TO ME AND MY KIDS AND PONTIAC HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR ISSUE ME ANOTHER CAR UNTIL I KNOW ME AND MY KIDS ARE SAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH THE HEAD OF THIS COMPANY ABOUT THE SITUATION AND I WILL NOT STOP HERE. THANK YOU KINDLY *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS SELF-ILLUMINATE, CANCELING CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONS AS A RESULT. GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE (#08-05-22-009: INTERMITTENTLY BRAKE LIGHTS (STOP LAMP) DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, EXTENDED TRAVEL TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, CRUISE CONTROL INOPERATIVE, DTC C0161/C0277 SET (PERFORM REPAIR AS OUTLINED) - (DEC 4, 2008) ), ENOUGH VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE TO WARRANT A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULB AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IT STILL PERSISTS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AFTER I RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR

PASSENGER HEADLAMP SOCKET KEEPS BURNING OUT. THIS HAPPENED ON MY OTHER 2008 G6. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THE BACK DOORS OF MY VEHICLE WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON OR MANUALLY INSIDE THE CAR. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT APPEARS I AM RIDING MY BRAKES WHICH I AM NOT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND POTENTIALLY RECALL THE DEFECT. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY PONTIAC G6 ALMOST 1 YR AGO, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I NOTICED THE CLUNK NOISE WHILE TURNING MOSTLY LEFT TURNS, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOTHING. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SO FAR WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE CLUNK NOISE BUT ONE MONTH AGO I KEPT GETTING A RADIO SIGNAL TO SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND MY CAR FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND THE WHEEL WOULD SHAKE BY ITSELF AND WAS WOULD STIFFEN UP LEFT TO RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER TO FIX IT BUT THE GM DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNSURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT NOTICED THE THAT WHILE IN PARK AND LIFTED OFF THE GROUND THE WHEELS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE BEING TURNED AND NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. THEY PUT IN A $27 PART A STEERING SENSOR KIT AND SAID THEY RESET THE BRAIN OF THE CAR AND SINCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY I PAID $311.00 . AND NOT 24 HOURS AFTER I DROVE OFF IT IS STILL HAPPENING, JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T GET WORSE THIS CAR I DEFINITELY HAVE TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE ISN'T BEING PRESSED. THIS IS ALSO LINKED TO MY CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE OF TURNING OFF WHILE ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN NOT TURNING BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AND THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WIPER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED. A DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ORDER THE PARTS NEEDED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ALSO STATED THAT THE PART COULD NOT BE ORDERED BUT THEY WOULD GIVE HER INFORMATION TO A SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENT THAT WOULD CONTACT HER WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON...WILL STAY ON AND THEN SWITCH OFF. WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN SEAT IT STATES AIR BAG IS OFF.I AM HEARING TONS OF REPORTS OF 2008 G6 WITH SAME FAULTY AIR BAG SENSOR/MODULES/HARNESS SYSTEMS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT IF THESE AIRBAGS SHUT OFF WITH PASSENGERS IN THE SEAT. PLEASE RECALL THESE CARS! DEALERSHIPS ARE GIVING CUSTOMERS THE RUN AROUND WITH THESE ISSUES AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING 1000S OF DOLLARS TO HAVE FIXED AND ALOT OF TIMES AFTER REPLACING THE SEAT SENSOR OR THE MODULE THE LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AND AIR BAGS AREN'T GOING TO WORK PROPERLY IN A CRASH. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE ISN'T BEING PRESSED. THIS IS ALSO LINKED TO MY CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE OF TURNING OFF WHILE ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN NOT TURNING BACK ON. *TR

ON MY 2008 PONTIAC G6, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND IN TURN MAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORK. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED. SLIGHT DEPRESSION OF BRAKE PEDAL TURNED OFF LIGHTS. AFTER RELEASING THE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON. OBSERVED SAME CONDITION AFTER THE REACHING OUR DESTINATION WITH THE CAR PARKED AND IGNITION ON. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR LOCK STARTED INTERMITTENTLY WORKING, USING THE REMOTE OR DRIVER'S LOCK BUTTON, AND WITHIN 2 MONTHS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. IT CAN BE OPERATED MANUALLY, HOWEVER, CONSIDERING WHERE THE LOCK IS LOCATED, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND INCONVENIENT TO GET TO. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS MANY PROBLEMS STARTING WITH THE SEAT BELT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONING, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME, WATER PUMP WENT OUT IN 2012, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER STICKS IN PARK, THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE APPEARS, THE TWO REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, THE TRUNK BUTTON IS INOPERABLE. I AM FED UP WITH ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC ISSUES AND HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THEM RESOLVED AT THE DEALERSHIP PAID TO HAVE THEM FIXED AND IT HAS RETURNED. THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS SHOWING RUST AND THE STEERING COLUMN WAS CLUNKING WHICH WAS FIXED UNDERWARRANTY. *TR

THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE USED IT DAILY TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. SHE BEGAN TO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE WHEN SHE TURNED IN STEERING COLUMN. THIS CONTINUED FOR A FEW MONTHS WITHOUT LITTLE FANFARE OR CONCERN UNTIL UNEXPECTEDLY ON HER WAY TO A FRIENDS HOUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ACCORDING HER. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD NOT GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. SHE REACHED ME BY CELL AND I TALKED HER THRU THE SITUATION. WE HAD A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR DEALERSHIP TAKE IT AND DRIVE IT AND HE SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE POWER STEERING. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON AND OFF SINCE THAT TIME AND OUR GM DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $115.00 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. WITH ALL THE CONCERN AND RECALLS RECENTLY ON G6 MODELS FOR 2006 MODELS SOME KIND OF RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THIS 2008 G6 . THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH SHARING CARS AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND WHILE DRIVING HER CAR. PLEASE, HELP!!!,,, *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND GETS STIFF CAUSING IT TO BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING IS SO STIFF THAT YOU CANNOT STEER THE CAR IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS IN ALL 2006 PONTIACS BUT NOT 2008. I AM WRITING TODAY BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES A FATALITY. THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE GM 100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHICH IS SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ISN'T WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT USED TO WORK AT LEAST SOMETIMES. THIS IS AFTER REPLACING BOTH HEADLIGHTS EARLIER THIS YEAR. WHEN SPEAKIN WITH THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT ANYTHING IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLIGHT AND ALMOST ALL THE G6 CARS HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEM WITH THIS. LOOKING ON THE G6 FORUM I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE HIM! THIS SHOUDL BE A RECALL!! *TR

THE LIGHT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY SHUT OFF ONCE THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKETS MELT DUE TO GROUND ISSUES CAUSING THE HEADLAMP BULBS TO BURN OUT. REPLACED HEADLAMP SOCKETS (PIGTAILS) FOR THE LIGHTS WORK FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. PASSENGER (RIGHT) SIDE OCCURS MORE OFTEN THAN DRIVER (LEFT). SECOND TIME MALFUNCTION OCCURRED WAS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A FREEWAY. HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL USABLE BUT IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO REGAIN LIGHT. *TR

MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE CAR KEPT TURNING, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS IT WAS LOCKED. THE CAR SLAMMED INTO A TREE DAMAGING THE FRONT END ALONG WITH THE WHEEL RIM. THE CAN WAS TOWED AND DIAGNOSED AS STEER GEAR/RACKET PINION STEERING LOCKED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
