2007 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR THIRTY MINUTES WHEN SHE WAS ALERTED THAT IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND STATED THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT (ELECTRICAL) FIRE. SHE NOTIFIED GENERAL MOTORS AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CHIEF AND THE GENERAL MOTORS INSPECTOR INFORMED HER THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT ELECTRICAL FIRE. GENERAL MOTORS CLOSED THE CASE AND STATED THAT THEY DID NOT FIND A DEFECT. THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING HOT AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT SUDDENLY CATCH FIRE. GENERAL MOTORS ADVISED HER TO GO TO HER INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 9,000.

THE SUN ROOF OF THIS VEHICLE CREATES SO MUCH WIND NOISE WHEN YOU EXCEED THE SPEED OF 40MPH OR MORE THAT IT WILL GIVE YOU A HEADACHE. I HAVE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER (WADE RAULERSON PONTIAC, BUICK AND GMC, GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA) AT LEAST THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE PROBLEMS OF REDUCING THE WIND NOISE. PLEASE LET ME EMPHASIZE THAT I AM NOT THE TYPE WHO GETS HEADACHES. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

SITUATION: THE G6 WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT ABOUT 50 MPH, THE ROAD WAS IN VERMONT HILLS/MOUNTAINS, THE WEATHER WAS RAINING -- FROM LIGHT TO AN INCREASING INTENSITY. THE WIPERS WERE TURNED ON TO THE LOW PULSE SETTING, AND AS THE RAIN INTENSITY INCREASED THE PULSE FREQUENCY WAS INCREASED ONE STEP AT A TIME. WHEN THE PULSE WAS AT ITS FASTEST, AND THE G6 WAS PROCEEDING UP AN INCLINE AND THE CRUISE LOGIC WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DECIDING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED ENOUGH TO OBSCURE ALL VISION. THIS CONDITION REPEATED ITSELF UNTIL I CHANGED THE PULSE SETTING TO CONSTANT. THEN, AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IN WEST LAFAYETTE TRAVELING FROM THE MAIN ROAD NORTH OUT OF TOWN UP ROUTE 443 BETWEEN ROUTE 43 AND 52 ON CRUISE AT 35 MPH IN A RAIN WITH THE WIPERS ON FAST PULSE THE WIPERS STOPPED AND VISION WAS OBSCURED. SOOO, THE HILL/INCLINE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE 'MOUNTAINOUS' OR VERY LONG IN DURATION. THE DEALER IN VT SUGGESTED I SHOULD JUST PUT IT ON CONSTANT PULSE TO AVOID THE ISSUE -- DUH. THE DEALER IN MICHIGAN ATTEMPTED TO REPLICATE THE CONDITION BUT CITY TRAFFIC, ETC. PROHIBITED THE 'EXPERIMENT'. THE GM CUSTOMER RELATIONS CONTACTS SIMPLY KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE CONDITION 'DID NOT EXIST' BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED -- WHICH WAS THE SAME AS CALLING ME A LIAR. DUH. YET THE GM CR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH ANYONE INVOLVED WITH THE VEHICLE DESIGN OR BUILD -- BECAUSE "IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED" YET I DUPLICATED THE VT OCCURRENCE IN ILLINOIS IN DIFFERENT TERRAIN. SINCE THE 'HILL' IN WEST LAFAYETTE IS VERY TYPICAL OF HILLS IN MOST OF THE STATES IN THE USA IT IS LIKELY THAT ANYONE DRIVING IN THE CONDITIONS NOTED WOULD EXPERIENCE THE SAME RESULT. YET, NO ONE IN GM WILL SIT AND DISCUSS THIS AT A FUNCTIONAL LEVEL. WHEN THE WIPER STOPS AND NO ONE CAN SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, WHETHER TRAVELING AT 50 OR 35 MPH THE CONDITION IS VERY CRITICAL AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DISCUSS THIS FREQUENTLY SINCE IT OCCURRED. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVE-ON; WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS ON 'FAST PULSE'; RAIN WAS MODERATE TO HEAVY; ROAD WAS HILLY; EVENT: WHEN THE CRUISE NEEDED TO DECIDE TO SHIFT GEARS GOING UP A HILL THE WIPERS STOPPED LONG ENOUGH FOR THE RAIN TO OBSCURE ALL VISION. THE STOPPING WAS REPEATABLE BY SETTING UP SIMILAR SETTINGS WHEN THE RAIN/ROAD CONDITIONS ALLOWED. THIS CONDITION EVEN OCCURRED AT 35 MPH, WITH CRUISE ON, WITH WIPER FAST PULSE IN LIGHT RAIN, AGAIN OBSCURING FORWARD VISION, ON A MUCH LESS HILLY TERRAIN. DISCUSSIONS WITH GM AT THE TIME RESULTED IN THE STATEMENT THAT BECAUSE GM OR THE DEALER COULD NOT 'OBSERVE' THE 'STOPPAGE' THAT 'IT DID NOT OCCUR.' SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO GET THE INFORMATION TO THE APPROPRIATE INTERNAL GM GROUP BUT NONE RESPONDED. SINCE THE CONDITION OCCURRED BOTH IN HILLY/MOUNTAIN TERRAIN AND IN HILLY CITY TERRAIN IT SEEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT ISSUE TO RESOLVE -- DUE TO THE LACK OF FORWARD VISION AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A POPPING NOISE WHEN SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 5, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,300 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,300.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 70 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN SWITCHING LANES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN IT WAS TURNED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE STEERING COLUMN. WHILE TRAVELING LESS THAN 70 MPH ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE ENGINE MADE EXTREMELY LOUD NOISES, ESPECIALLY WHILE IDLING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 10,000. UPDATED 03-06-09 *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON,THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD ACTIVATE AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. UPDATED 03/12/09. *JB

REPORTED CLICKING NOISE TO DEALERSHIP WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN WHILE BACKING UP AT 8355 MILES - DEALERSHIP CHECKED - VEHICLE WAS OPERATING WITHIN MANUFACTURES SPEC. AT 13313 MILES REPORTED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN STEERING DURING SLOW DRIVING AND TURNING - DEALERSHIP REPLACED INTERMEDIATE STEERING AND LUBED. AT 24008 MILES REPORTED A CLICKING NOISE AGAIN - DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AT 27987 MILES REPORTED CLICKING NOISE AGAIN - DEALERSHIP LUBED ALL POINTS OF THE STEERING PER GM. AT 36041 MILES REPORTED CLICKING AND POPPING NOISE - DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK. THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I AM CURRENTLY AT 65000 MILES AND THE CLUNKING NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER, IT CAN BE FELT THRU THE STEERING WHEEL, AND CAN NOW BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT AM I TO DO? NO ONE SEEMS BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. SINCE THIS IS A STEERING PROBLEM, ISN'T THIS A SAFETY HAZARD? *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES LOCKS WHILE STEERING AND HAS GOTTEN EXTREMELY STIFF WHILE TURN THAT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES WILL MOVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ABOUT HALF INCH EACH WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND IN PARK. THE FRONT SUSPENSION SEEMS TO BE LOOSE IT CLUCKS AND KNOCKS WHILE TURNING OR HITTING BUMPS THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAS A KNOCK IN IT. SOMETIMES WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE SEAT DOES NOT NOTICE IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT SAYS OFF AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. *TR

BRAKE ROTORS WARPING AFTER JUST 7,000 MILES, TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY CUT THEM. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED SOONER (12,000 MILES). SHOULD BE A RECALL, BRAKES SHAKE THE FRONT OF THE CAR SO BAD THAT IT PRACTICALLY TEARS THE STEERING WHEEL FROM YOUR HANDS.

DRIVING ALONG ON A DRY ROAD WHEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING DINGING SOUNDS. THE ABS AND ESC DUMMY LIGHTS CAME ON. THE RADIO DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING, "ESC SERVICE REQUESTED". THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THE SENSOR HARNESS WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE FRONT AXLE, WHICH CAUSED THE CASING TO BECOME COMPROMISED AND SHORT OUT. THIS CAUSED BOTH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS OLD AND ONLY HAD 480 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO ORDER A NEW WIRE HARNESS AND SENSOR CONTROL MODULES TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ONES.

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING APPEARED FOLLOWED BY ENGINE, OIL AND OTHERS WITH 'REDUCING POWER TO THE ENGINE' WARNING. THEN DROPPED TO NO RPMS AND ENGINE STALLED -UNPREDICTABLY.*AK

I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT MY 2007 G6 REQUIRES A SECOND NEW STEERING RACK AT 49900 MILES. THE FIRST ONE WAS REPLACE AT 33000 MILES. NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE TO PAY $900 OUT OF MY POCKET. THE DEALERSHIP MAKES NO EXCUSES FOR GM PARTS THAT ONLY LAST 2 YEARS AND 17K MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS AS EVERYONE ELSE: WHO OWNS THIS CAR: BRAKE SQUEAKING AND SHORT LIFE (REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REPLACED TWICE), INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, STEERING COLUMN PROBLEMS, ETC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM CAN IGNORE ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES REGARDING SAFETY! *TR

CLUNKING IN STEERING WHEN EXITING THE TURN. CLUNKING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AND START MOVING, ESPECIALLY IF I GO TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. REALLY LOUD, YOU CAN HEAR IT EVEN WITH THE MUSIC PLAYING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK. THE PONTIAC DEALER REPAIRED THE AIR CONDITIONER, BUT NOW THERE ARE TOXIC FUMES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ACTIVATED. THE ODORLESS FUMES BURN HER THROAT AND EYES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE FUMES WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 2,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 481.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 11000. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON DRY ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT CONNECT AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN RAN INTO A SIDE RAIL. *AK

THE CONTACT ALSO USED THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS, BUT THEY STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INSTANTLY UPON AN OCCUPANT SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG DISABLED AND INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR DIMMED ONLY WHEN THE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN AN AWKWARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ALWAYS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD UNTIL AN OCCUPANT OF THE SUFFICIENT WEIGHT SAT IN THE SEAT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 450.*AK

AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT TURN OFF AIRBAG WHEN A SMALL CHILD SITS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THERE IS A 359 UNIT RECALL ON THIS MAKE/MODEL FOR THIS DEFECT BUT DEALER STATES IT DOESN'T COVER MY CAR AND THAT AIRBAG SHOULD TURN ON WHEN PASSENGER WEIGHT EXCEEDS 30-40 POUNDS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 07V146000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING IS MAKING NOISES AND THE STEERING COLUMN VIBRATES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED A LUBE JOB.

HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT APPROVE THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO VOID THE WARRANTY AND PERFORM ANY REPAIRS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VISOR ONCE, BUT THE SAME FAILURE HAS RECURRED; THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VISOR WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 18,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 966. UPDATED 6/2/08 *CN

THE DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF EITHER. *TR
