2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

IT STARTED WHEN I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT TURNING ON. I WAS THEN PULLED OVER BY A STATE POLICEMEN WHO EXPLAINED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STUCK ON; HE HAD ME STOP THE CAR AND RE-START AND HE THEN FOLLOWED ME FOR ANOTHER MILE. AGAIN THE BRAKE LIGHTS STUCK ON. HE ESCORTED ME TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND INSTRUCTED ME TO LEAVE THE CAR TO BE FIXED. I THEN SCHEDULED AN APPT. WITH THE DEALER AND AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR. IT WORKED OUT FINE FOR 3 WEEKS-AS OF THIS AFTERNOON THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOW STAYING ON AGAIN. THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS IF THIS CONTINUES; SO HOW CAN WE FIX THIS BRAKE PROBLEM? *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UNCONTROLLABLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT IT DOES HAS A BINDING AND ROCKING MOTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESET THE POWER STEERING AFTER ITS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. GM HAS DONE NOTHING AND THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF THE DATE OF THIS POSTING TO REPLACE OR FIX THE DISCREPANCY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT THAT COULD CAUSE A FATALITY IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED AND I PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT SO FAR AND I HOPE THAT THEY TAKE THERE COMPLAINTS TO GM AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT. JUST TO SET THE RECORD MY VEHICLE HAS APPROX 49535 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 30 TIMES WITH IT GETTING WORSE. I SURELY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIX. *TR

VEHICLE TYPE IS 2006 PONTIAC G6. FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED - THERE IS NO POWER STEERING WHAT SO EVER. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKS. THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN MORE CONCERNING. IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN A LEFT TURN WAS MADE THE CAR "DINGS" AND THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" COMES UP ON THE RADIO. NOW 2 DAYS IN A ROW WE WERE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND RECEIVED THE "POWER STEERING MESSAGE". THE CAR HAS NEVER LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED UPON READING OTHER CONSUMER COMMENTS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 12K MILES ON IT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED "U" JOINT ( I BELIEVE) SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS "SEIZING". RECEIPT STATES INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPLACED. STILL HAVING PROBLEM -PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IS AT A LOSS. *TR

THERE IS A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 11/03/08 AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CLUNKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO LUBRICATE THE SHAFT AS THE FIRST STEP TO RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE CLUNKING NOISE HAS BEEN REDUCED DRAMATICALLY, BUT I KNOW I WILL BE BRINGING THIS VEHICLE BACK IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT A PREVIOUS CAR, 2006 G-6, IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 10/24/08 AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE STEERING RACK BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 503.15. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS 3,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY 3RD PONTIAC G-6 ON 11/07/08. IT IS JUST AMAZING THAT I HAVE THREE OF THESE VEHICLES, AND THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL THAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER AT NO CHARGE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASES A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE TURNING A CORNER IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAS TANK HOLDER DETACHED FROM THE FRAME AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADDED MORE BOLTS TO SUPPORT THE GAS TANK. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,400.

2008 PONTIAC G6 HAS ISSUES WITH POSSIBLE DEFECTS. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WANDERED. AT 60 MPH, THE WANDERING INCREASED AND CONSTANT CORRECTIONS HAD TO BE MADE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO HIGH AND TOO FAR FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS FOOT DID NOT COME TO REST EVENLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, RATHER HIS FOOT CAME TO REST UNEVENLY ON THE PEDAL. THE STEERING WAS INADEQUATE. WHEN THE RATIO BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT DRIVING SUSPENSION WAS TOO LARGE, SO AT TIMES OF AN EMERGENCY WHEN A QUICK TURN OF THE WHEEL IS NECESSARY TO AVOID A COLLISION, SUCH RESPONSE IS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE RESPONSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SLUGGISH. THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN WITH EASE, BUT REQUIRED EXCESSIVE TURNING AND EXCESSIVE STRENGTH. THE SUNVISOR EXTENDED TOO FAR DOWN WHICH IMPAIRED THE CONSUMERS VISIBILITY. *JB

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING A 2007 PONTIAC G-6. SHE WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE ENTERING THE EXPRESS WAY AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO HER TURNING THE WHEEL THEREFORE THE CAR WENT INTO THE DITCH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSIQUENTLY SHE FRACTURED HER BACK. SEPTEMBER 2007 IN NOVEMBER 2007 MY SON WAS DRIVING A 2008 PONTIAC G-6. HE WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. THE CAR ROLLED OVER HIT A TREE AND KILLED MY SON. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. *TR

VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES,TOOK TO DEALER,THEY PULLED A CRUISE CONTROL TC OUT OF COMPUTER. UNABLE TO MAKE IT REPEAT SO NOTHING DONE. *TR

I AM A CURRENT OWNER OF AN 2008 PONTIAC G6 WITH THE V6 OPTION. IT SEEMS FOR ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR 15000 MILES THE ROTORS ARE BEGINNING TO WARP, AS READING FORUMS I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND WOULD FORTH HENCE LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 5 MILES IN APRIL WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT AROUND 5500 MILES, THE CAR FIRST STALLED. IT STARTED BACK UP THAT DAY WITHOUT ISSUE AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. AFTER THAT, IT WOULD STALL MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAPPENED UP UNTIL ABOUT 6200 MILES. AFTER THAT, I WAS GETTING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, REDUCED ENGINE POWER(WHICH WAS VERY SPORADIC), SERVICE TRACTION, AND ENGINE LUGGING. IT CONTINUED TO STALL 3 TIMES A WEEK OR SO. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE NEXT TIME WHICH WAS JUST LAST WEEK, THEY REPLACED THE MAF SENSOR. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR 4 DAYS AND IT AGAIN, STALLED AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A STATE HIGHWAY. IT TOOK 8 CRANKS TO RESTART. IT WAS FINE FOR 2 DAYS, THEN ACTED UP AGAIN YESTERDAY. IT DIDN'T STALL, BUT THE SERVICE TRACTION, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. ONSTAR HAS GIVEN ME CODES FROM THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP ITSELF DOES A GOOD JOB AND IF ITS NOT ACTING UP I KNOW THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. HOWEVER, RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND SOME GM YUKONS HAVING ALOT OF THE SAME ISSUES RELATED TO WIRING. *TR
