2009 PONTIAC G3 Complaints

FRONTAL COLLISION ,CAR WAS TOTAL LOSS, AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF. I'M CONVINCED THIS HAD TO DO WITH GM IGNITION PROBLEM! *TR

I HAD A COUPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. FIST HAD TO REPAIR THE AC 3 TIMES, RADIO TWICE (REPLACED IT ON THE SECOND TIME). TWO MONTHS AGO BREAKING LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WENT TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT FIXED (TOOK IT TO MIDAS BUT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS). THEN I NOTICE THAT IT WOULD WORK ONLY WHEN I PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL STRONGLY AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. NOW THEY ARE NOT WORKING AGAIN AND I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR. ALL THE 3 BRAKING LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. IT IS NOT THE FUSE THAT YOU CAN EASILY ACCESS. INTERESTING WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN I DESCRIBED IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER 20 DEGREES OR BELOW, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED HER THE USE OF A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS WHILE THEY FURTHER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,600. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THREE TIMES NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND HAVE LOST POWER (ACCELERATION) OF MY VEHICLE . THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE "FREEWAY" AND ALMOST WAS KILLED BY A TRUCK AND THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS IN DRIVING IN "WALMART"PARKING LOT. SECONDLY, MY LIGHTS HAVE TWICE FLASHED (DOME LIGHT AND DASHBOARD) FOR NO REASON. THIRDLY,THE PASSENGER SIGN SPEAKER HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND STILL DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. FOURTHLY, ONE TIME THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START -UP. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE THIS WAS MY FIRST "NEW CAR" PURCHASE!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS NOT BACK-LIT. CANNOT SEE WHICH BUTTON TO PUSH AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING.*TR

GAUGES IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIFFICULT TO READ. THE TRIM AROUND THE CLUSTER DIVIDES THE GAUGES INTO INDIVIDUAL PODS. THE TRIM IS BLACK AND THE GAUGE FACE IS ALSO BLACK WITH RED INDICATOR NEEDLE. THE TRIM DOES NOT ALLOW ENOUGH LIGHT INTO THE POD AREA TO SEE THE NEEDLE IN THE DAYTIME. YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE NEEDLE EVEN WHEN THE CLUSTER LIGHTS ARE ON. THE GAUGES ARE SO SMALL, THE STEERING WHEEL BLOCKS VIEWING THEM. *TR
