2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

ADVISED CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID IS BAD, TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICHLE TO SHUT DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED SUCH AS THE EXPRESSWAY.

STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, NOW I SMELL IT WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. THEY SAID IT WAS EITHER THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE CRACKED ON THE FUEL PUMP OR THE MODULE. THEY SAID THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 G6. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. GM NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. GM HAS HAD RECALLS ON PRIOR YEARS OF THE G6 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE GEARS IN THE GEARSHIFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

GEAR SHIFTER MOVES BUT CAR ROLLS AS ITS IN NEUTRAL NO MATTER WHAT WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IT STILL ROLLED FORWARD, WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT STILL ROLLED FOWARD. ITS AS IF THE GEAR SHIFTER ISN'T PUTTING IT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. NOW I HAVE TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IT WON'T RESTART BECAUSE IT DOESN'T THINK ITS IN PARK? WHAT COULD THIS BE?

POWER STEERING FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY CITY STREET ON MY WAY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN PATRIALLY THROUGH IT MY POWER STEERING FAILDED AND I ALMOST HIT A POLE.

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS A POPPING IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN I TURN IT. MY TRACKING LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.

EVERY TIME I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A POPPING / SCRAPING LIKE SOUND. THE STEERING IS INCREDIBLY TIGHT WHEN TURNING. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 12,800 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT CABLE ISSUES. *SMD *CN

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ALMOST EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I TOOK IT TO AN ELECTRICIAN. HE REPLACED A PIECE IN THE WIRING, THEN THE OTHER HEADLIGHT, AS SOON AS I FIX ONE SIDE THE OTHER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. I KNOW IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR ALMOST 8 YEARS THIS MAY. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT NOW. I LOVE THIS CAR, IT RIDES GREAT, BUT THIS HEADLIGHT SITUATION IS FRUSTRATING.
