2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. IT SQUEAKS LIKE THE PLASTIC IS RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT STOPPED SQUEAKING. I HAVE HAD THEM REDONE ABOUT 4 TIMES. THE BLACK RUBBER STRIP IS ROTTING. THERE IS A LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COMING THROUGH THE LITTLE SQUARE RIGHT ABOUT THE SEAT BELT. MY WARRANTY IS UP AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT CARRY OVER TO FIX ANY OF THIS. MY CAR UPHOLSTERY WAS ALREADY REDONE ONCE DUE TO A FLOODING AND I PAID FOR THAT. NOW THE BACKSEAT SMELLS LIKE MOLD. THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE IT KEEPS COMING OFF. THIS IS THE WORST INVESTMENT I HAVE EVER MADE. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING IS ACTUALLY ELECTRIC. I HATE IT. *TR

I HAVE HAD A 2006 PONTIAC G6 FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS. ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I HAVE TO HAVE THE STEERING RACK REPAIRED/REPLACED. NOW I AM HAVING THE BALL JOINT AND CONTROL ARM REPLACED. THE ROTORS ALSO NEED REPLACED. NONE OF THIS WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER G6 OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND OF COURSE WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING IN REVERSE, THEY STAY ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEY GO OUT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE TO REPAIR, THE FIRST TIME THEY PUT A NEW BRAKE SWITCH IN, AND THE SECOND TIME THE RECALIBRATED MY BRAKES, AND NOW I HAVE TO BRING IT BACK A THIRD TIME TOMORROW. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM.. NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE... WHEN WILL A RECALL BE ISSUED SO THAT NO ONE HAS TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR LIFE? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,700 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHEN I START MY CAR AND BACK OUT, I HEAR A DINGING NOISE LIKE THAT OF WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS NOT ON AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE WARNING LIGHT DISPLAYS POWER STEERING. EVERY NOW AND THEN I CAN RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE THING IS....I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR IN ORDER FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK PROPERLY (HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECTED AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT IF YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR VEHICLE.) I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SHE PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE. SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE NOISE RECURRED AND THE CHECK AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE SAME ISSUES WITH MY 2006 G6 GTP. I HAVE HAD MY STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED MY CAR. I HAVE 67K MILES AND PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 75K, SO MY REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COVERED, BUT SEEING THESE COMPLAINTS IS DISTURBING TO ME. LIKE MANY OTHERS HERE, I TRAVEL TO/FROM WORK IN MY CAR EACH DAY AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I HOPE GM WILL RESOLVE ANY DEFECTIVE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE MUST SUFFER. MY STEERING WAS JUST REPLACED 2 MONTHS AGO AND I'M ALREADY HEARING CLICKING UNDER MY FRONT END AGAIN, SO AM PLANNING TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON. PLEASE ALERT ALL OWNERS IF GM DOES DECIDE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIR THESE ISSUES. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING IN MILEAGES(MPH) BUT IN KILOMETERS (KHM). I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 42,000 AND NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER IT HAS 92,000 MILES OR KILOMETERS ON IT. I'VE ONLY BEEN OUT OF TOWN ONCE IN THIS VEHICLE. I READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE CAR AND IT STATED THAT IN CANADA THE CAR'S REGISTER KILOMETERS. CLEARLY, I AM NOT IN CANADA BUT RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES. WILL THIS AFFTECT MY TITLE AND REGISTRATION IF AND WHEN I DECIDE TO TRADE THIS CAR IN AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS? *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE DISPLAY HAD INDICATED "POWER STEERING" ABOUT 15 MILES BEFORE, WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK. AS I ROUNDED A CORNER OF THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING SEEMED TO LOOSEN UP COMPLETELY, THE WHEEL TURNED BACK AND FORTH, I DROVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND THEN THE SHOULDER, AND ALMOST INTO A DITCH; I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL OF THE WHEEL. AFTER ABOUT 30SEC OF THIS BEHAVIOR, THE STEERING CALMED DOWN AND LOCKED UP SO THAT I COULD NOT TURN. LUCKILY I WAS THEN ABOUT THREE BLOCKS FROM WORK BECAUSE BY THE TIME I PARKED I COULD NOT TURN AT ALL. IT IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW, HOPEFULLY IT WONT BREAK ME TO FIX. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE ABOUT 70,000 MILES NOW AND NO WARRANTY! WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I'VE READ AND THE DANGER THAT THIS PUTS PEOPLE IN (NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL HARD SHIP) THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY; SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT. *TR

STARTING AT APPROX. 25K MILES THE FRONT PASSENGER STRUT WAS REPLACED, 10K MILES LATER THE STRUT AND STRUT MOUNT WERE REPLACED PASSENGER AND DRIVER, ROUGHLY 10K MORE MILES AND THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS REPLACED. AT 55K MILES THE STRUT IS AGAIN BAD AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BEARINGS ARE BAD AND WHINING VERY LOUDLY AS YOU INCREASE SPEED AND THEN DECREASE AS THE SPEED DECREASES TO A STOP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS REMARKED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED LONG-TERM. I HAVE ENTERED THE ROUGH ORIGINAL DATE OF ISSUE WHICH BEGAN THE FIRST YEAR THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR. *TR
