2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL MY SON GAVE ME THIS VEHICLE AND IT SENT ME A WARNING ABOUT ENGINE LOSS WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT PICKS UP AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I ALSO NOTICED IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRANSMISSION FLUID RESIVOIR. SOMETIMES THEIRS A GAS LEAK WHILE IDLE AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

FUEL LEAKING ONTO TOP OF GAS TANK, ELBOW COMING OFF THE FUEL PUMP HAS DEVELOPED A PIN HOLE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE, CAR HARD TO START AFTER SITTING ANY LENGTH OF TIME. FUEL DRIPS ONTO EXHAUST.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS IS OPPOSITE TO HOW IT SHOULD BE. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS AND APPARENTLY THE RECALL REPAIR WAS MADE. THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THIS CAR. BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED SO THE REPAIR SEEMS INEFFECTIVE. I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE BELOW SINCE IT ASKS FOR A DATE, BUT THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND AT ALL SPEEDS.

DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT DUE TO FAULTY SOCKET/WIRING. WAS REPLACED INITIALLY BECAUSE FACTORY SOCKET MELTED AT BULB CONTACTS. HAVE REPLACED SOCKET TWICE NOW, BUT IF WIRES ARE AT A CERTAIN ANGLE GOING INTO THE SOCKET, THE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. PROBLEM WILL USUALLY PRESENT ITSELF WHEN TURNING CAR ON, HAVE TO GET OUT AND GIVE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY A SMACK TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON. ALSO VERY LIMITED ROOM INSIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, LEAVING WIRING CRAMPED AT AN ODD ANGLE AND IN THE DIRECT PATH OF THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE ACCESS CAP.

THE CAR IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP OR AN AREA CONNECTING TO IT. AFTER READING OF NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. IN THE BEGINNING I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS WHEN DRIVING AND PARKED. AT THIS POINT IT IS LEAKING IN BOTH SCENARIOS.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY, MY BREAK LIGHTS TURNED ON. I FOUND THIS OUT BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN ON MY CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, BUT THEN PEOPLE KEPT PULLING ME OVER TELLING ME ABOUT MY BREAK LIGHTS. I WAS SO ANGRY THAT THEY KEPT COMING ON, I TOOK MY WARRANTY I GOT IN THE MAIL AND CAR TO A GM DEALER. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT COMPLETELY BUT JUST RECALCULATED THE SYSTEM TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF FOR A WHILE. I'M SO SICK OF MY BREAK LIGHTS COMING ON AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES ITS WHILE IM DRIVING, AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE ON ALREADY RIGHT AFTER I TURN ON MY KEY. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE GETTING THIS FIXED FOR FREE BECAUSE I'M SO WORRIED I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR HARM SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IF I'M STOPPING OR DRIVING. I WANT TO KEEP ME AND MY SON SAFE.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING IN REVERSE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT HITTING THE BRAKES AND THEY GO OUT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE 2014 RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! IT WAS MERELY A BANDAID AND TEMPORARY FIX. ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION, I HAVE SEEN THE CAR BEHIND ME FLY UP ON MY REAR END AND HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM! I DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET REAR ENDED AND SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES ON CAR FORUMS, AFTER HAVING THE RECALL DONE, SO I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR THAT HAS THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY!

2007 G6 CONVERTIBLE SMELLING FUEL UPON PARKING AND TURNING OFF CAR, COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BURNING/SHORTING OUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO. USUALLY I JUST REPLACE THE BULB AND IT BURNS OUT SHORTLY BUT THEN WE HAD IT REWIRED. WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BUT THE WHOLE WIRING IS MESSED UP AGAIN AND THEY WANT TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. I SEARCHED ON SOME FORUMS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

I LIVE IN ALASKA AND I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A NOTICE AND I'VE BEEN IN TWO COLLISION BECAUSE OF IT AND I HAVEN'T KNOWN WHY. I'VE HAD TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE OF IT AND NUMEROUS DAMAGES BECAUSE OF IT.
