2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ALL OF THE TIME AFTER STARTING THERE IS AN ODD WHISTLE TYPE NOISE THAT WE CANNOT FIGURE OUT. IT OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING.

BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. STILL NOT RIGHT. EVERY TIME I HIT THEM HARD THEY STICK.

THE CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL FUMES INTO THE GARAGE. WE WERE HAVING TO RAISE THE GARAGE DOOR FOR FEAR OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION BECAUSE THE FUMES WERE SO STRONG. THE CAR HAD A VERY HARD TIME STARTING AFTER SITTING SO THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANICS TOLD US THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE. WHEN THE CONTACT SWITCHED FROM THE REVERSE GEAR TO THE DRIVE GEAR, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS. FAGAN AUTOMOTIVE IN JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN) HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,311.

THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING ASSIST AT SPEEDS BELOW 20MPH WITHIN 200 MILES AFTER BEING REPAIRED. ONCE LOST, POWER STEERING ASSIST REMAINS OFF AND IT TAKES BRUTE STRENGTH TO STEER MAKING IT TOTALLY UNSAFE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT, SO IT SEEMS A PART IN THE POWER STEERING MAY BE DEFECTIVE.
