2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY DUE TO A CONSTANT COOLANT LEAK. LEAK FIRST APPEARED AT BOTTOM CORNER PASSENGER SIDE OF RADIATOR, AND WITHIN A WEEK HAD ALSO SHOWED UP ON BOTTOM CORNER DRIVER SIDE OF RADIATOR. EVENTUALLY WOUND UP REPLACING THE OVERFLOW RESERVOIR, 3/4" HOSE TEE LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER OVERFLOW, SEVERAL CLAMPS, TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES, INSTALLED BRAND NEW RADIATOR AND OIL PRESSURE SWITCH LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE OIL FILTER. AFTER 10 DAYS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LEAKS, THEY REAPPEARED IN EXACTLY THE SAME LOCATIONS. FINALLY TRACED LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE TO UPPER CORNER PASSENGER SIDE OF INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, AND THE DRIVER SIDE LEAK TRACES TO ALMOST DIRECTLY AT THE COOLANT CROSSOVER PIPE GASKET. NOW, I'M AGAIN FACING ANOTHER $200 PAYOUT TO THE PARTS STORE.! I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR MYSELF, AS I HAVE MADE ALL REPAIRS FOR THE PREVIOUS 6 MONTHS. MY 07 G6 WAS WONDERFUL FOR THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, BUT THE LAST 3 YEARS HAVE BECOME NOTHING MORE THAN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. IF I COULD FILE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY EXPENSES DURING THIS TIME I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT WITH THE PRICES OF PARTS, CURRENT HOURLY RATE CHARGE SET AT $75-$100 HOUR, AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR TIME SPENT WASTING TIME GOING TO PICK UP PARTS THE TOTAL WOULD MOST LIKELY COME OUT TO $8000-$9500. I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND SADLY I ALSO CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE INVESTING IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS BECOME A MECHANICAL MONSTROSITY WITH AN EXTREMELY VORACIOUS APPETITE FOR PARTS AND MONEY.

THERE IS A BUMPING OR CLUNKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY AT LOW SPEED OR WHILE STILL, AS IF THERE IS A LINKAGE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS CAR, AS GM HAS ISSUED TSB #06-02-32-007F. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS A STEERING ISSUE, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL TO CORRECT OR REPAIR?
