2005 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SPECIFY WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME MY ALARM SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKED ON THEN STAYED ON. THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON. AFTER I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START FOR 45 MINS. I FOLLOWED ALL RESET PROCEDURES NOTHING WORKED. HAD TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT ALARM. NOW ALARM WILL NOT WORK AND THE TRUNK/DOORS OPEN OR UNLOCK RANDOMLY, RADIO TURNS OFF, LIGHTS TURN OFF. PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW NOONE IN TOWN KNOWS HOW TO FIX. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY IGNITION SHUT OFF. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, HAVING NO STEERING. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND RESTART THE CAR. IT WAS VERY ALARMING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN) WAS RECEIVED IN JULY OF 2014. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHO INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A SECOND NOTIFICATION IN OCT OF 2014, INFORMING THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE BUT THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE PART CONTINUED TO BE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.

ON SEPTEMBER 2014, I PURCHASED A 2005 PONTIAC G6 WITH ABOUT 182,000 MILES FOR THE PURPOSES OF DRIVING ME TO WORK. I WAS NOT AWARE OR MADE AWARE OF A STRONG FUEL SMELL EMITTING FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE CAR AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER. I WAS LATER ADVISED THAT A FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR WAS POSSIBLY CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE ABOVE THE GAS TANK. MY MECHANIC ALSO ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANY FURTHER SINCE IT POSED A FIRE DANGER. IN ADDITION, GM RECALLED THE 2007-2009 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT FOR THE 2005-6 PONTIAC G6 CARS. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS TWO RECALLS WHICH MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WILL FIX IN THE UPCOMING WEEK. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE FAULTY FUEL PUMPS? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A MANUFACTURE DEFECT? *TR

STEERING COLUMN FEELS LOOSE WHEN DRIVING. IT MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE WITH MOVEMENT LEFT OR RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 2008. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND FOUND TO HAVE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING SO WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. RECALL INFOR SENT TO ME CONCERNING THIS EXACT PROBLEM HOWEVER THE REPAIRS CANT BE MADE WITHOUT THE PARTS. GM PLEASE HURRY AND GET THE RECALL PARTS TO THE REPAIR SHOPS. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE MY LIFE OVER THIS AND THE ANXIETY OF DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS AS MANY RECALLS AS THIS ONE DOES IS VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH. *TR

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WE DID RECEIVE RECALL NOTICE ON THIS PART IN MARCH 2014 AND HAD REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO GET IT FIXED HOWEVER; HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY TIME THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH GM'S LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS! *TR

THIS CAR CURRENTLY HAS THREE RECALLS BY THE MANUFACTURE. IT WAS BY GRACE THAT MY HUSBAND AND SON MADE IT TO THEIR DESTINATION SAFELY. WHEN THEY GOT READY TO LEAVE FROM WHERE THEY WERE GOING, MY HUSBAND COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE. IMMEDIATELY THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND THE BREAKS WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE TOWED THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND LEARNED THE STRUCTURE OF THE INNER DASH HAD BROKE. THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE BREAKING SYSTEM IS ALL CONNECTED TO THE DASH. WE HAD NO WARNING, MY HUSBAND DRIVES THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY TO WORK. I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS SITTING. WE WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH FOR OVER 2000 DOLLARS. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR NOW HAVING FOUR RECALLS. THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHO OWNS THIS CAR. IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT GM HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR STEERING COLUMN AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFTS. WE WERE VERY LUCKY, BUT WHO IS TO SAY THE NEXT OWNER OF THIS PONTIAC WILL BE. THIS IS NOT COMMON, WHO WOULD THINK A INNER DASH WOULD CRACK, THIS IS A POOR DESIGN. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE INNER DASH SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT... I HAVE PAID FOR MY CAR ON TOP OF ALL SORTS OF KNOWN PROBLEMS: BEARINGS, MULTIPLE ROTORS AND BREAKS, HEATED SEATS CATCHING ON FIRE, STRUTS ALL THE WAY AROUND, BURNT OUT LIGHTING, MOTOR FOR HEAT, RECALL FOR POWER STEERING, MULTIPLE TIRES, PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS BROKEN, NEW FRONT WINDOW AND THE LIST GOES ON. WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT I HAVE SPENT PLUS THE PURCHASE PRICE THIS SEEMS SO UNFAIR. MY TOTAL SALE PRICE FOR THIS CAR INCLUDING FINANCE CHARGES WAS $28,028.60. WOW DID I GET THE SHORT END OF THE DEAL. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC , VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

LAST FALL THE CAR TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK, THIS PAST WINTER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK, TURNING SIGNALS WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND MOST RECENTLY THE STEERING IS GOING OUT ALMOST ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE CAR HAS BEEN LOCKING UP ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. FORCING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I NEED THIS VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. I CANT WAIT FOR PARTS TO BE IN. I HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT IN. IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE THE CAR DOES BREAK DOWN OR THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. *TR
