2008 Pontiac G6 complaints

I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ABOUT 114000 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON BUT NO INDICATION AS TO WHY IT IS ON. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ACCORDING TO REPORTS. I HAD SERVICE COMPLETE THE 2 OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE CAR. I ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES ONLY TO TAKE IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE CALIPER ALSO. THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING HOME, I EXPERIENCED VIBRATING IN MY BRAKES WHEN BRAKING. AT THAT TIME NO ABS LIGHT CAME ON OR TC CONTROL LIGHTS, HOWEVER WHEN HUBBY WAS GETTING READY TO TEST DRIVE IT, THE ABS LIGHT AND BOTH TC LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAVE STAYED ON. BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE AT THE MOMENT, I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND CHECKED FOR ADDITIONAL RECALLS (BECAUSE I READ ABOUT ONE ON THIS ISSUE SOMEWHERE THE OTHER DAY WHEN SEARCHING) BUT THEY ASSURED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR SUCH AN ISSUE WITH MY VIN. THE CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT. MY NEXT STEP I GUESS IS TO TAKE IT TO ADVANCE AUTO FOR A SCAN AND SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWS UP :( I DO A LOT OF TRAVELLING SO I NEED A DEPENDABLE/RELIABLE/SAFE VEHICLE. I LOVE THE CAR BUT I DON'T LOVE ALL THE BRAKE ISSUES AND NOT KNOWING WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE PUT NEARLY $1000 INTO MY CAR IN JUST A MATTER OF MONTHS DUE TO BREAKS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED REGARDLESS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED OR NOT. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 08/30/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE EITHER ILLUMINATE ALL THE TIME, OR THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO HAYWIRE. THE SEAT BELT ALARM SOUNDED EVEN WHEN IT WAS UN-BUCKLED, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SO DID OTHER RANDOM LIGHTS. UPDATED 10/26/16.*JB

TAIL LIGHT RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED IN 2013 - CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. TAIL LIGHTS COME ON WHEN DRIVING AN GO OUT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI LAST NIGHT AS THE BRAKE LAMPS WERE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. DEALER CLOSED OUT THE CASE AS REPAIRED - GM RECALL LINE WILL DO NOTHING AND WANT ME TO PAY $120 AN HOUR TO HAVE THE CAR PUT ONTO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE - I REFUSE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR ANYMORE EXPENSES - I'VE PAID OVER $500 ALREADY BEFORE RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO 2008 MODELS. I WORK AT A GM POWERTRAIN PLANT, THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS UNACCEPTABLE TO MY STANDARDS OF WHAT MANAGEMENT TELLS US QUALITY IS TO GM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER THEIR FIX WAS A JUMP HARNESS AND RE-GREASING OF THE BCM - THAT IS NOT THE FIX THE REAL ISSUE IS THE BCM'S ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED MY GM REFERENCE ID FOR THIS ISSUE IS 8-2214129861. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT WITH NO WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS. ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE IDLING, CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH SCROLLING ON CAR SCREEN TO SERVICE TRACTION SERVICE ESC. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AND ALL TRACTION STABILITY OF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.. PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO GOES.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. LAST YEAR HAD THE TORQUE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WITH A RECALL THAT CAUSED THE SAME ISSUE. 9 MONTHS LATER THE STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED SHAKING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND NOW THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM MODULE. $700 TO FIX. THEY SAID IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL( WHICH SOME RESEARCH SAID THIS MIGHT HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL) AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT IS SHOWING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED AN AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS LIGHT TO COME ON. WE HAVE NEVER TURNED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO THE "OFF" POSITION EITHER. IT JUST CAME ON ONE DAY. THE DEALER SAID IT IS COMMON IN SOME GM VEHICLES. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO WITNESS A PASSENGER INJURY IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD MAKE A PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL A PRIORITY.

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT COULD NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CONNECTOR AND WIRING BURNT. THE CASING BROKE OFF TWO OF THE WIRES AND WHEN THEY TOUCHED THE CONNECTOR MELTED BEHIND THE BULB. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED. I SAW ANOTHER COMPLAINT FILED A FEW DAYS AGO WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN I TRIED STARTING MY CAR IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING SO I HAD TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THEN IT STARTED UP AND THAT HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES SO FAR IT'S LIKE IT WANT START UNLESS I TURN THE IGNITION AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL FOR A DRIVE AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE DOING THAT AND WITH MY BRAKES I GOT NEW BRAKES ON MY CAR FOR FRONT AND BACK AND IT'S LIKE I NEVER PUT BRAKES ON BECAUSE IT'S STILL MAKE NOISE LIKE I NEED BRAKES AND THAT'S CRAZY AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOOD AND THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT BE MOVING WHEN IT'S IN PARK.

THE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT I TOOK IT IN TO GET THE BULB REPLACED AND IT WAS MELTED.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR. THE ONLY THING I SEE IS I ADJUSTED WAS THE POWER DRIVER SIDE SEAT THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON.

LEAKING FUEL FROM THE GAS TANK AREA. I CAN SMELL THE GAS AND FEEL FUEL UNDER THE CAR BUT I CANNOT SEE EXACTLY WHERE IT IS LEAKING FROM. IT IS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST BOUGHT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS DOING SOME JERKING, SHAKING MOVEMENTS OFF AND ON WHILE I'M DRIVING OR JUST TURNING ON MY CAR SITTING IN PARK. IT FEELS TIGHT WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR TO KEEP IN THE DIRECTION I NEED TO GO.

I NOTICE THAT ON SOME OF THE 2008 PONT. G6 BREAK LIGHTS DON'T COME ON SOME TIMES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE CARS ALMOST HIT MY CAR BUT I CHECKED MY BREAK LIGHTS AND THEY WORKED .

SEVERAL WEEKS BACK, I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY (MAYBE 35MPH) ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY BREAK LIGHTS APPEARED TO STOP WORKING. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN SOMEONE FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, (I DID NOT SWITCH LANES OR STOP ABRUPTLY), ANOTHER VEHICLE HONKED AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP BEHIND ME AND THEN FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. LATER THAT DAY I CHECKED ALL MY LIGHTS AND THEY APPEARED TO BE WORKING. I CHECKED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER AND THEY SEEMED TO BE FINE. I NEVER TOOK THE CAR TO BE FIXED, AND I KNOW MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALLS. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS A BIG ISSUE UNTIL I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WHERE OTHER PONTIACS HAVE RANDOM BREAK LIGHT FAILURE.

FAULTY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FOR NO REASON THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND AFTER ABOUT A WEEK IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I READ ON LINE IN THE GM CAR FORUMS THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM. I NOTICED MOST 05-09 GM MODELS THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH THIS TYPE OF SENSOR. PEOPLE NOTED THE FIX IS $500 TO $1000 AND MUST BE DONE BY THE DEALER. I LIKE MANY OTHER GM OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO THINK A PROPERLY WORKING AIR BAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE. APPARENTLY THIS AIR BAG SENSOR IS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! THANK YOU

DRIVING LOCAL ROADS APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 MPH THE DRIVERS SEAT OF 2008 G6 GXP (ELECTRONIC LEATHER BUCKET SEAT) BROKE FREE AND COLLAPSED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. UPON PERSONAL INSPECTION AND LATER VERIFIED BY THREE MECHANICS INCLUDING TWO GM CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP MECHANICS IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CROSS SUPPORT TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE SEAT HAD BROKEN FREE AT A WELD. THIS IN TURN CAUSED THE SEAT TO COLLAPSE DOWN AND TOWARDS THE CENTER CONSOLE. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENS TO THE SEAT AND NOW FREELY FLOATS WITH THE SEAT UPON MOVEMENT. IF THE FAILURE TO THIS SEAT HAD OCCURRED DURING AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT BELT WOULD HAVE BEEN ESSENTIALLY RENDERED USELESS AS THE DRIVERS SEAT FREELY MOVES. UPON INSPECTION FROM AN ENGINEERING STAND POINT THE SEAT IS SUPPORTED BY ONE WELD APPROXIMATELY 1/8" THICK BY 1/4" WIDE AT EACH END OF THE ~.060" WALL TUBE IN SUSPENSION FROM ABOVE I RAN THEORETICAL WELD CALCULATIONS AS PER ASME AND THE WELDS ARE GOOD TO AROUND 10 G'S ASSUMING ALLOY STEEL AND NO PASSENGER. (THE RECOMMENDED MET FORCE OF ANY SEAT OR SEAT BELT IN THE FORWARD POSITION PER CFR 571.207 STANDARD 207 S4.2(A) AND (B) IS 20 TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE SEAT. THIS IS NO CONSIDERING ANY BENDING MOMENTS PER CFR 571.207 STANDARD 207 S4.2(D). THERE IS NO REASON WHY ANY DRIVERS SEAT SHOULD FAIL UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS OCCUPIED BY A PERSON OF AVERAGE BODY WEIGHT. THIS SEAT IS NOT SAFE AND MUST BE RECALLED. UPON SEVERAL HOURS OF RESEARCH I DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS O

2008 PONT G6 SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARS IN DASH, AND DISPLAY ON RADIO PERIODICALLY. TYPICALLY RIGHT ON STARTUP. DOESN'T TURN OFF UNTIL KEY OFF, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG OR TYPE OF DRIVING. USUALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) RESETS WHEN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. DISCUSSION WITH DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS ALL SAY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS BAD. CONCERNED IF DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS WILL ACTUALLY DEPLOY IN EVENT OF EMERGENCY, WHETHER LIGHT IS ON OR NOT.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON , WHEN CAR IS STARTED ,WHEN AUTO IS SHUT OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED LIGHT WILL GO OFF. AND STAYS OFF , THIS HAPPENS EVERYWHERE DAYS.IS THIS A RECALL,

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON / OFF FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS COME ON AND NOW WILL NOT GO OFF. I CALLED AND ASK GM SERVICE REPAIR, BUT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES, KNOW THIS HAS TO DO WITH A PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. TO FIX IT IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE, AND NOT CHEEP. IF THIS ISSUES SHUTS THE WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM DOWN, IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

DRIVING ON THE FWY AND SUDDENLY ALL OF MY HAZARD LIGHTS START TURNING ON AT ONCE. MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, NOT EVEN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE LAST WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. COULD IT BE THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN? I THINK NOT, I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY POWER WINDOWS. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING A SHORTAGE.

WHILE DRIVING, I GET A POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT AND I LOSE POWER STEERING FUNCTIONS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IF DRIVING OR STOPPED.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE EITHER ALWAYS ON, CAUSING TRACTION CONTROL TO FAIL, OR THEY ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AND OFF WHEN BRAKING. THIS ALSO CAUSES CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK. ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND ME CAN NOT TELL WHEN I AM BRAKING. SOME 2008 G6 MODELS WERE RECALLED BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2008 G6 HAS THIS PROBLEM AND WAS NOT RECALLED.

CONTINUOUS MELTING OF HEADLAMP WIRING HARNESS / CONNECTOR CAUSING LOSS OF FRONT ILLUMINATION. MELTING OF CONNECTOR IS NOT SPECIFIC TO EITHER DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AS IT HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH SIDES. MELTING CAUSES COMPLETE FAILURE OF FRONT ILLUMINATION UNTIL CONNECTOR IS REPLACED. REPLACEMENT OF HEADLAMP DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM UNTIL CONNECTOR IS ALSO REPLACED. FAILURE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO VEHICLE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.
