2007 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

DROPPED MY CAR OFF FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LATER CALLED TO SAY THE ENGINE HAD CAUGHT FIRE WHEN THEY WERE TEST DRIVING THE CAR. AN INSPECTOR FROM THE INSURORS SERVICE BUREAU DETERMINED THAT A "RODENT INFESTATION" WAS THE CAUSE AND THAT A NEST HAD BEEN BUILT IN THE EXHAUST HEADER. I HAVE SINCE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS REPORTING FIRES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BELIEVE THERE MIGHT BE A DESIGN DEFECT THAT ALLOWS ANIMALS ACCESS TO AN INTERNAL LOCATION WHERE ENGINE HEAT IGNITES THEIR NESTING MATERIAL.

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

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

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

AT LOW SPEEDS, DRIVING AROUND TOWN, WE HEAR A POPPING SOUND, THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. *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

WHILE TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT USUALLY AT A SLOW SPEED OR FROM A COMPLETE STOP MAKING A SHARP TURN, THE STEERING POPS, YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED WHILE GETTING GRADUALLY WORSE. I TOOK IT IN WAY BACK WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND TOLD THAT THE STEERING ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AT THE TIME SO I WAITED AND NOW UNFORTUNATELY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AT 81,000 MILES. RECENTLY (JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED!) THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF WHILE MY HUSBAND OR I AM SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE COMMUTE 2 HOURS A DAY ON A VERY DANGEROUS PASS. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. I WILL BE CHECKING WITH MY LOCATE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND SWING ARM HAD BEEN FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,405.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONTACT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN AFTER THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

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

STEERING IS POPPING AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP. CALLED DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. CALLED GM THEY TOOK NOTE. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A YR THEY REPOSITIONED AND LUBED THE I-SHAFT. NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AREA THERE IS A POPPING NOISE WHEN ITS COLD. THAT ALSO WAS LOOKED AT 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. IT STILL MAKES THE NOISE. ACTUALLY ITS GETTING LOUDER. I WAS TOLD BY GM TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I HAVE UNDER 50,000 WITH NO WARRANTY. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED. AND HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT SOMETHING THEY SAY DOESN'T EXIST. THE POPPING IN THE STEERING AND LEFT FRONT IS STILL OCCURRING EVERY DAY BUT IS WORSE WHEN ITS COLD. *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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING. WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK PROPERLY. THE POWER STEERING HAS ALSO FAILED WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ON. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52000.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IN APRIL 2007 BY SEPT 08 THERE WAS A STEERING ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN A NEW RACK & PINION BEING PUT IN BY THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD ANOTHER RACK & PINION REPLACED & A STEERING SHAFT REPLACEMENT. NOW IT FEELS AS IF THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING & THE DEALERSHIP NOR GM MOTORS WANTS TO HELP BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS YEAR MODEL CAR. *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

2007 PONTIAC G6 STEERING PROBLEM. CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2008 FROM PRESCOTT HONDA, USED, NOTICED CLUNKING SOUND AND PRESCOTT HONDA CALLED A PONTIAC AND HAD THE PONTIAC DEALER IN PRESCOTT AZ TELL THEM WHAT TO DO WHICH WAS TO GREASE THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WAS AROUND 34,000 MILES NOW AT 53,000 IN 3/2/10, THE SOUND AND PROBLEM IS BACK. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY CAR COME ON WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE. I CAN BE DRIVING AND THEY WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES, I CAN TELL BECAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DIS ENGAGE AND WILL NOT RE ENGAGE. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM TO THE BRAKES, I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW ME IN ORDER TO TELL ME WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING. IT POSES A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE, YOU HAVE YOU BRAKE LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME SO CARS BEHIND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY STOPPING. *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

ELECTRICAL FIRE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT ONCE. REPAIR BUT CAR STILL IS NOT RUNNING RIGHT HAS BEEN WORKED ON TWICE. DOES NOT IDLE CORRECTLY. THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ALSO WHEN TURNING RIGHT THERE IS A KNOCK IN THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 I JUST PURCHASED 6-27-07 I AM NOW AT ABOUT 17,000 MILES AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TURNING ON WHEN I DO NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.. AND WHEN I ACTUALLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO STOP MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF... I HAVE HAD IT @ THE DEALER ONCE ALREADY AND THEY SAID THERE NOTHING WRONG.. LAST NIGHT I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULDN'T COME ON WHEN I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION.. I AM AFRAID IF I TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THEY ARE STILL GOING TO FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THE NEXT TIME I AM BEHIND THE WHEEL IM AFRAID I AM REALLY GOING TO GET HIT NEXT TIME. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN CALIBRATED WHICH WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX... 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS NOW CONTINUING... *TR

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

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH UNDER 15K MILES APPROX EARLY TO MID 2008. HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER SINCE A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING. WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC AT AN INSPECTION THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ACTS AS IF IT DOES NOT HAVE POWER STEERING AND IT SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A TURN INTO A PARKING STALL. POWER STEERING AND ALL OTHER RELATED EQUIPMENT TESTED FINE. RECENT RECALL INVOLVING THIS ISSUE INCLUDED CARS BEFORE AND AFTER MINE. I ALSO REPORTED ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS AND MESSAGES WHICH I WAS JUST NOTIFIED ABOUT IN RECALL 13036 THIS WEEK "AFTER" COMPLAINING OF A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS MY VEHICLE HAS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AS THOSE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY RECALLED. I AM IN HOPES YOU WILL BE REVISITING THE STEERING COLUMN ISSUE AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT MAY INVOLVE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES. IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AT TIMES AND HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WITHOUT NOTICE. CAR JUST HIT 80,000 SO WEAR AND TEAR/EXCESSIVE DRIVING IS NOT AN ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED AS LOW AS 5 MPH AND AS HIGH AS 65 MPH. *TR

I'VE HAD MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR BRAKE "ISSUES". THEY CHANGED PADS, ROTORS AND TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T STOP THE SQUEAKING AND THAT THE STRANGE "JUMPING" THE BRAKES SEEMED TO DO WAS "NORMAL" FOR ABS - WHICH I KNOW IS NOT CORRECT AS I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS WITH ABS THAT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THIS. RECENTLY, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE BRAKES FAILED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED AND WE HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. GM SENT AN ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT THE EVENT DATA RECORDER; HOWEVER, WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT (THEY SAID IT WAS "PROPRIETARY"). THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX MY CAR AND WHEN I ASKED WHY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THEIR "PROFESSIONAL" TOLD ME "I DON'T KNOW - I WASN'T THERE!". I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON EDMUNDS.COM ABOUT THE ROTORS, OVER-HEATING PROBLEMS AND THE NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED WITH NON-GM PARTS TO (HOPEFULLY) FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND I INTEND TO DISPOSE OF THE CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR GOING 35 TO 40 MPH AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF CAUSING ME TO HIT THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CLICKING NOISE AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, SHE SAW SEVERE SMOKE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT ELECTRICAL FAILURE WAS THE CAUSE. AN INVESTIGATOR FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE HER WITH ANY ASSISTANCE BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WITNESS ANY FLAMES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT HAS POSSESSION OF THE FAILED COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE STARTER AND BATTERY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 38,000. UPDATED 06/30/08 *BF THE STARTER SHORTED OUT WHICH CAUSED THE SMOKE. UPDATED

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-70 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ISSUE WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT A VENTED ROTOR WAS NEEDED IN ORDER TO KEEP IT COOLER. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH A FACTORY MODEL. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE ROTORS BEGAN TO PULSATE AGAIN. THE VIBRATION COULD BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

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

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CLUNKING AND RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN FOR YEARS, EVEN SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2007 THE POPPING BEGAN,ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS.ITS TO THE POINT NOW THAT MY CAR FEELS LIKE ITS LITERALLY GOING TO FALL APART WITH ALL THE RATTLING AND VIBRATING. GM SUGGESTED I ROTATE TIRES, RESURFACE ROTORS, REPLACE TIE RODS AND STABILIZER BAR CONTROL LINK`. I HAVE PAID FOR ALL OF THIS AT MY MECHANIC AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE HAD 2 MECHANICS(NON GM) INSIST THAT ITS THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT AND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT GM REFUSES TO FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY LUBED THE SHAFT SOME YEARS AGO BUT THAT WAS JUST A BAND AID.I UNDERSTAND THEY WERE REPLACING THE SHAFTS YEARS AGO BUT STOPPED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST FOR GM. I KNOW THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN MY ISSUES OVER THE YEARS AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT THE CORRECT WAY THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND HAVING ALL THESE OTHER THINGS DONE TO MY VEHICLE WHEN THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH SPENDING MONEY ON MY VEHICLE WHEN PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING AND OR REPAIRING MY SHAFT. IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT TIME BECAUSE IM AFRAID ITS GOING TO FALL APART. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE FINALLY THIS THIS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG.

PONTIAC G6 DEVELOPED VIOLENT VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKE REPAIR SHOP REPORTED THAT THE ROTORS HAD WARPED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. ALSO STATED THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM THEY SEE HAPPENING EVERY 14,000 TO 19,000 MILES ON MANY G6'S. FURTHER REVIEWS OF INTERNET FORUMS SHOW MANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT NEXT TIME. INFORMED ROTORS SHOULD BE A VENTED STYLE TO HELP WITH COOLING. *TR

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.

THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES NOISE AND IT CAN BE AN HAZARD AND EVERYONE THAT HAS A PONITAC G6 HAD HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

MARCH 2008 MY CAR STARTED NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY WITH MY THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION. I TOOK IT TO 2 CAR DEALERS UNDER WARRANTY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. IT HAS TRAVELED IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH ON IT'S OWN - I USUALLY SHIFT THE CAR TO NUETRAL TO GET IT TO STOP. AS OF JULY 1 / 2008 THE DEALER HAS ALL BUT GIVEN UP REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE PARKED THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HIRED A ATTORNY TO FIGHT GM TO REPAIR OR REFUND MY MONEY FOR THIS CAR.

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

FIRST THE DARN RADIO STOP WORKING OFF AND ON AFTER I GOT IT AND ALL THE WAY TO NOW, FOR AS LONG AS I OWNED IT. AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING POPPING SOUNDS AND NOW THE HEADLIGHTS KEEPS BLOWING BULBS BECAUSE THE DARN WIRES ARE BURNING. ON TOP OF THAT THE MANUAL SAYS THAT IT GETS 30 MPG AND I ONLY CAN GET UP TO 23 MPG. IF I KNEW THIS I WOULD OF LEFT THAT DARN CAR ON THAT LOT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,874 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

AS A CONSUMER I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER TO LODGE A COMPLAINT FOR THE CAR/LEMON I HAVE BEEN LEASING. THE TYPE OF CAR I AM LEASING IS A 2007 PONTIAC G6 4 DOOR SEDAN, #. SINCE LEASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE MANY CONCERNS OF NOT ONLY MY OWN SAFETY BUT THE SAFETY OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES SINCE LEASING THIS CAR: 1.REPLACED SIGNAL SWITCH LOCATED ON STEERING COLUMN ON 1/16/08 2.REPLACED RIGHT VISOR FOR MIRROR ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR 1/16/08 3.REPLACED BROKEN CABLE FOR RIGHT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR ON 3/14/08 4.REPLACED STEERING COLUMN ON 7/28/08 5.REPLACED FRONT BRAKES WITH HIGH END PADS ESTIMATED DATE 8/08 6.REPLACED REAR LEFT BULB FOR BRAKE LIGHTS ESTIMATED DATE 10/08 7.ABOUT A MONTH AFTER STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN AGAIN WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. 8.INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN THEY CHOSE TO LUBE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT INSTEAD ON 1/20/09 AND I WILL HAVE TO KEEP COMING IN WHEN THE LUBE WEARS OFF!! REALLY ME HAVING TO COME IN EVERY MONTH OR SO!! THAT WAS THEIR RESPONSE TO ME!! 9.REPLACED RADIO BECAUSE IT DIDN?T COME ON WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR THE DISPLAY WAS BLANK. WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN ON WHEN IT WANTED TO REPLACED ON 1/20/09 ALSO IN RESEARCHING THE STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM SOME PEOPLES STEERING WHEELS HAVE LOCKED UP AND THEY WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS AND SAID IN THERE COMPLAINT DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE GM HAS A RECALL ON THESE CARS?? IT HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE THE FIRST MODEL YEAR 2005 HAS COME OUT. PER DOMINIC TORRES MY SALES REP THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN VERY MANY COMPLAINTS LODGED FOR ANY RECALL. PER DOMINIC IT IS BECAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN IS ELECTRICAL INSTEAD OF USING FLUID AND THE DESIGN WAS CHANGED IN THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. GM HAS CONTACTED ME AND SAID THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO LEASE A NEW CAR TO ME TO REPLACE THIS ONE. IT WILL BE RE-POED SHORTLY. *TR

1. BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM STOP WORKING, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE THE BLOWER WAS WORKING WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER SAID NOTHING IS WRONG..TOOK THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME THING...I SLOWLY LOST ALL DIAL CONTROL 1-3 EXCEPT 4...IN 2009 GM RECALLED 2007 SILVERADO'S TRUCKS FOR SAME THING THE G6 BLOWER MOTOR WAS DOING. WHY IS GM ALOUD TO CHERRY PICK WHO GETS THEIR CAR FIXED AND WHO DOESN'T...2. AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND SAYS TO SERVICE AIR BAG, SO I CALL MY GM DEALER HE HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT I WAS SAYING. I TOOK A PICTURE WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON , SHOWED THE PICTURE TO THE DEALER AND BECAUSE IT DID NOT DO THAT WHILE LOOKING AT THE CAR, AGAIN THEY SAY CAN'T SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH IT...IT STILL HAPPENS, AND I AM VERY AFRAID OF THE AIR BAG ISSUE'S. BEGINNING TO THINK GM DEALERS ARE WORKING WITH GM TO AVOID REPAIRS, AS MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT DO IT WHEN THEY LOOK AT IT , NOTHING IS WRONG...DON'T FEEL SAFE, MY CHILDREN ARE INFORMED, IF I GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT THEY KNOW WHERE TO LOOK, AND WHO TO GO AFTER.. HELP ! *TR

RECENTLY MY PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN HAVING POWER STEERING FAILURE. WHENEVER I SEEM TO TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT THE STEERING WILL LOCK UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE PONTIAC THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM. I WORRY THAT IT MIGHT LOCK UP AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. SUDDENLY, THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A NEARBY SERVICE STATION AND LEFT THE VEHICLE THERE FOR THREE DAYS. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 24,000.

2007 PONTIAC G6 EXPERIENCED OIL-LEAK FROM FRONT-CRANK AND OIL-PAN AREAS. GASKETS HAD TO BE REPLACED. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST NOTED WAS 20,000-MILES. DEALER SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND PERFORMED REPLACEMENT AS NEEDED. WARRANTY-WORK. *TR

INTERMITTENT ABILITY TO USE CRUISE CONTROL. SYSTEM WOULD RANDOMLY NOT WORK OR DEACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE PURCHASE.

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT....THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME...THEY SAID THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME HOW TO FIX IT...THEY SAID IT COSTS AT LEAST $1200. I AM DISABLED I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM....I RECEIVE $1064. PER MONTH SOCIAL SECURITY... I KNOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM YET THERE IS NO RECALL...SO, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS GASOLINE PROBLEM REPAIRED?? I'M WAITING ....WAITING....WAITING

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD CONTINUE TO ILLUMINATE ON THERE OWN WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). AFTER THE DEALER REPAIRED THE RECALL, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. ..UPDATED 03/18/13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE HAS CAUSED THE DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE TO BE TICKETED. UPDATED 05/09/2013 *JS

2007 PONTIAC G6 WITH MULTIPLE PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED. CONSUMER STATES SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ARE RATTLE IN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, PLASTIC SEAT BELT HOLDER BROKE, CONVERTIBLE TOP BROKE, THE TOP WAS UP, AND WOULD NOT LOCK, THE RETRACTABLE MOTOR WOULD NOT PUT THE TOP DOWN OR UP. VEHICLE ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY ON ITS OWN WHILE STOPPED. *KB WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY, THE CONSUMER HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY ONE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS A KEY ENTRY AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE A KEY FOB FOR HER VEHICLE. ON OCTOBER 6, 2007, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS BLOCKED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER HER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT TWO HOURS FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE BEFORE SHE COULD OPEN THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HER VEHICLE ONLY CAME EQUIPPED WITH A KEY ENTRY AND THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY INSTALLED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 800.

UNDER GOOD, DRY ROAD CONDITIONS ON A FREEWAY, A VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE MOVING INTO MY LANE AND COULD HAVE HIT ME. I STARTED TO BRAKE TO BACK OFF AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT OF MY LANE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED 4 TO 6 TIMES BEFORE I REGAINED CONTROL. THERE WAS NO COLLISION BECAUSE I REGAINED CONTROL AND OTHER DRIVERS BACKED OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR TECHNICIAN REPLICATED THE FISHTAILING. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSON SAID THAT THE COMBINATION OF THE G6 SUSPENSION, STRUTS, WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION, AND SWEPT UP DESIGN RESULTED IN THE G6 FRONT DIPPING DOWN WHEN BRAKED, LIFTING THE REAR AND LOCKING THE BRAKES. GM AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE BRAKES AND STEERING CHECKED OUT AS SATISFACTORY. THE DEALERSHIP WHICH CHECKED THE CAR OUT BOUGHT THE CAR BACK FOR $3633 LESS THAN I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS BEFORE. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE THE BASIC VEHICLE DESIGN IS UNSAFE IF FISHTAILING OCCURS WITH A COMMON EVASIVE MANEUVER UNDER GOOD WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 FISHTAILED WHILE DRIVING ON DRY ROADS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED WHEN SHE BRAKED AND TRIED TO MOVE RIGHT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHE STATED THAT SHE SOLD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. *KB THE DEALER STATED A COMBINATION OF THE SUSPENSION, STRUTS, WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION, AND SWEPT UP DESIGN RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE DIPPING DOWN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, WHICH LIFTED THE REAR AND LOCKED THE BRAKES. *JB

THERE IS A STEERING-RELATED PROBLEM WITH MY PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. IT HAS A CLUNK OR SNAP UPON BACKING OUT OF PARKING-SPACES AND UPON MAKING TURNS FROM A DEAD-STOP. IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AM WORRIED THE STEERING-BOX IS BAD, AS THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ON A FAMILY 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE BOX-ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHY AGAIN TWO YEARS LATER ON A NEWER CAR. *TR
