2005 Pontiac G6 Suspension Problems

I TOOK MY CAR TO JEFF SCHMITT IN MIAMISBURG OH I HAVE 3 RECALLS AND I FEEL LIKE THEY DIDN'T DO NOT 1

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS WOBBLING IN THE FRONT AND ON BOTH SIDES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT, BUT THE FAILURE INTERMITTENTLY PROGRESSED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

WE OWN A 05 PONTIAC G6. THIS VEHICLE HAS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WHEN THE SENSOR IS HAVING ISSUES, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE. MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH IS THEN THE SENSOR CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHT TO WORK IN REVERSE. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS GO OFF, WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, THE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SENSORS REPLACED AND NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THE "FIX" IS THE ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. THIS ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT IS ONLY GOOD FOR A FEW MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A HALF[XXX] "FIX". WE HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL "FORMER" PONTIAC DEALERS ONLY TO HAVE BEEN TOLD WE ARE "OUT OF LUCK". THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, IF YOU DEPRESS YOUR BRAKES AND NO LIGHTS COME ON IT COULD LEAD TO A REAR-END COLLISION.THANKFULLY THIS LAST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS WARNED OF THIS EVENT BY A GAL WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND HIM. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DRINKING. HE WAS TOLD THAT A CHARACTERISTIC OF A DRUNK DRIVER IS THAT THEY "RIDE THEIR BRAKES". GM NEEDS TO GET THIS CORRECTED!! IT IS NOT SAFE. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND WHO DRIVES 50 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK EVERYDAY. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATING TRADING IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE OF THIS AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THE G6. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE WE GOT IT BETWEEN THIS BRAKE ISSUE, A "CLUNKING" NOISE WHEN TURNING (WHICH WE WERE TOLD IS "NOTHING" FROM OUR FORMER PONTIAC DEALERS) AND THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF LEAKING AND NOISE ISSUES, WHICH AS WELL WE WERE TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT. (WE HAD STANDING WATER IN THE VEHICLE W/ THE LEAKS) THIS BRAKE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT!!!! WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CRAPPY SERVICE AND LACK OF CARE IN GETTING THIS VEHICLE RECALLED. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE??? I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ADDRESSING THIS SAME THING. I WOULD IMPLORE NHTSA TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

3 INCIDENTS OF CAR SKIDDING, SLIDING AND DOING A 360 WHEN DRIVING IN THE SNOW. 1ST TIME, THOUGHT IT NEEDED NEW TIRES. 2ND TIME HAD GOTTEN NEW TIRES, BUT THOUGHT IT NEEDED A SLIGHT ALIGNMENT. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRING WHILE TURNING. 3RD INCIDENT, HAD GOTTEN TIRES AND ALIGNMENT AND DRIVING SLOWLY DOWN A STRAIGHT PATH WHEN SLID INTO THE OTHER LANE WITH ME HAVING NO CONTROL, THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE COMING, BUT DID A COMPLETE 360 TURN. *TR

2005 PONTIAC G6 HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS, BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS. *NJ THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO GET AN ALIGNMENT AND HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED. IN JUNE 2008, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A NOISE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE FRONT PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN. THE SUNROOF HAD TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO A RATTLING NOISE IT WAS MAKING. AFTER THE SUNROOF WAS REPAIRED, IT BEGAN TO MAKE A DIFFERENT NOISE. A TECHNICIAN DETERMINED A PIPE HAD RUPTURED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. THE CONSUMER THEN RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHTS AFTER ALREADY PAYING FOR A SENSOR THAT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *JB

DASH RATTLE,AT ABOUT 500 MILES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A RATTLE COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE OF DASH WHEN ON A ROUGH ROAD,A FEW MILE LATTER THE PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN SAME THING. VEHICLES HAD MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALER, WHICH PROCEDED TO REPLACE STRUTS(ALSO VERY NOISEY,DEALER SAID IS NORMAL)DO'NT AGREE.AFTER CALLING PONTIAC ABOUT THE RATTLE PROBLEM DEALER MADE MORE OF EFFORT TO FIND PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH CAR DOE'S SEEM TO BE FIXED(RATTLE IN DASH) STILL HAVE APROBLEM WITH NOISE IN STRUTS AND LOOSE FEELING IN FRONT END WHEN BOTH WHEELS ENCOUNTER A ROUGH ROAD,AGAIN I AM TOLD THAT IS NORMAL,I DROVE A RENTAL-(06 G-6)NO NOISE WHAT SO EVERY HANDLED WELL ON ROUGH ROAD!

DT: ] THIS VEHICLE IS A NEW 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND UP WITH BACK REAR WINDOWS DOWN THERE WAS POUNDING VIBRATION, IT WAS ASSUMED TO BE AIR THAT FILLED THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO HAD NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY EITHER. DEALER DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM. ALSO, TESTED OTHER PONTIAC 2005 G6 THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM, AS WELL AS THE 2006 MODEL. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

ALIGNMENT - PULLS TO LEFT - IN SHOP 9/15/09 THE LIST OF PARTS & LABOR HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVE AND I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES AND CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 48K ON MY CAR. THE TIRES ONLY LASTED FOR 20K MILES!!! I'VE HAD A TOTAL OF 6 ALIGNMENTS AND COUNTLESS ROTATIONS AND NOTHING WORKS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN THROUGH 2 SETS OF BRAKES AND ROTORS IN THIS TIME PERIOD AS WELL. WHEN I BLOGGED ABOUT THIS ISSUE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CONTACTED THE BBB AUTO LINE AND THEY SAID MY COMPLAINT IS NOT WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION. I CONTACTED PONTIAC / GMC AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND HOPEFULLY IT WON'T TAKE AN ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE TO REALIZE THAT THE CAR IS A LEMON AND UNSAFE. *TR
