2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THREE FAILURES WITH HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE CLOSING AND OPENING WHILE CAR WAS PARKED ON LEVEL SURFACE.

BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL & INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS TROUBLE. AUTO HEADLIGHTS DON'T GO ON/OFF WHEN TAKE FOOT OF BRAKE TO PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE OR NEUTRAL CAR JERKS BADLY & ACCELERATION OCCURS EVEN IF I DON'T PUSH FOOT PEDAL. HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STOPPED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE & WHEN TRYING TO PARK, WHEN AT RED LIGHT STOPPED W FOOT ON BRAKE & TRY TO PUT IN NEUTRAL. FOOT ON BRAKE THEN WHEN ENGAGE ANY GEAR CAR LUNGES JERKS & ACCELERATES SEVERELY FORWARD.

MY PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I GOT IT. THERE IS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND PONTIAC DOES HAVE OPEN RECALLS FOR THE ISSUE I AM HAVING FOR INADEQUATE SUPPORT OF THE U-JOINTS AND STEERING SHAFT BUT MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE STATE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I ALSO PERIODICALLY LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER RECALL BUT AGAIN PONTIAC SAYS MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR WE HAVE REPLACED PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE SUSPENSION AND BOUGHT NEW TIRES STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT DOES GO OUT COMPLETELY AND IT CAUSES ME TO HAVE A MAJOR CRASH I PRAY TO GOD MY KIDS ARE NOT IN THE CAR AND THAT I DON'T DIE OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. I DO A LOT OF DRIVING FOR MY JOB AND THE SHAKE JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE PONTIAC SAID THEY COULD SET ME UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE JUST BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT STATE DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY USED DIFFERENT PARTS OR PUT IT TOGETHER A DIFFERENT WAY. THE PONTIAC G6 IS A HUNK OF JUNK I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC PRODUCT IN MY LIFE IF THIS ONE DOESN'T KILL ME. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS THREADS DISCUSSING THE TOPIC ON G6PERFORMANCE.COM. THE SHAKING STARTS AT ABOUT 40MPH AND THE FASTER YOU GO TE WORSE IT BECOMES. PLEASE IF ANYTHING AT ALL CAN BE DONE TO HELP I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP SINKING MONEY IN TO THIS CAR NOR CAN I AFFORD TO GET A NEW VEHICLE

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. I HAVE AN ENGINE OIL LEAK, GAS LEAK, AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT AS SOMETHING IS AND HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH MY POWERSTEERING. I HAVE PAID FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE BEEN PUSHED OFF AND GIVEN THE RUN AROUND ABOUT ALL THAT I HAVE SAID. MY CAR IS AND HAS BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NOW I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AS IT HAS GOTTEN TERRIBLY WORSE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT ALL RECALLS WERE DONE (BY THE DEALER), AND OTHER SOURCES HAVE ADVISED ME THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT I AM BEEN HAVING AND THAT I AM CURRENTLY HAVING.

WHEN I VISITED A REPUTABLE BRAKE SHOP FOR A BRAKE CHECK, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A GASOLINE LEAK NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER BRAKE SHOP WHICH DROPPED MY GASOLINE TANK, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A LEAKY FUEL PUMP. BEFORE THIS BRAKE SHOP WORKED ON MY VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ALMOST SURE THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN RECALLED. I PROCEEDED TO GO TO BRIAN HARRIS CHEVROLET, WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER, ONLY TO INFORM ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THAT GENERAL MOTORS WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT REPLACED AT A DEALERSHIP, IF THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE. I WENT BACK TO THE OTHER FACILITY FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT AS A RESULT. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAD RECALLED PONTIAC G6'S FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2004-2008. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN SMELLING OF GASOLINE FOR AWHILE WHEN STATIONARY AND I DID NOT KNOW WHY. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT ONE MONTH PRIOR, WHERE I HAD A FUEL SENSOR CODE PULLED. ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. MY LEAKING FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY DISCOVERED ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER, ONLY BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO GO GET MY BRAKES CHECKED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM LIGHT BULB BURNED OUT. REPLACED AND IT BURNED OUT AGAIN WITHIN 2 WEEKS. REPLACED AGAIN AND SAW THAT THE SOCKET WIRES AND PART OF THE SOCKET WHERE THE BULB MEETS THE SOCKET HAD MELTED. THIS IS NOT A STANDARD GM REPLACEMENT PART. I PURCHASES AN AFTERMARKET WIRE HARNES/SOCKET FOR THE LOW-BEAM. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING. MY LOCAL AUTHORIZED GM DEALER REPLACED THE WIRE HARNESS FOR THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY (NOT UNDER WARRANTY) BUT SAID I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY TO FIX THE LOW-BEAM. THAT PART IS OVER $200 SO I TRIED ANOTHER AFTERMARKET WIRE HARNESS/SOCKET THAT HAD HEAVIER GAUGE WIRE. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND THE BULB HAS BURNED OUT AGAIN. KEEP IN MIND EACH TIME I HAVE PURCHASED THE CORRECT LIGHT BULBS. I HAVE NOW BEEN PULLED OVER BY POLICE 3 TIMES SINCE THIS ISSUE BEGAN. EACH TIME I WAS GIVEN A WARNING BUT ALSO EACH TIME I HAD REPAIRED THE PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER. I HAVE NOW SPENT MORE THAN $250 JUST BECAUSE THE LOW-BEAM ISSUE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE CAUSE BEHIND THE MELTED WIRE AND SOCKET COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM HAS COST ME MONEY, TIME AND STRESS. I WISH TO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. HOWEVER, I CAN'T HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ABOUT SELLING THIS VEHICLE TO SOMEONE AND I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THE PONTIAC G6 TO ANYONE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE.

PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH A HUGE AUTOMOBILE CONGLOMERATE . EVEN THE ASSIST OF THE EXECUTIVE DEPT. COULD NOT HELP MEPLEASE READ WHAT I WROTE TO THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF GM I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE I PURCHASED IT IN JANUARY 2016. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I TRIED TO PUT THE TOP DOWN ITSMECHANISM CAUSED A MALFUNCTION AND BROKE THE PART NUMBER 25887153 AWAY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER @ GM OF VACAVILLE, CA. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME, 'THIS PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE', A WEEK LATER. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. I HAVE INCURRED $ 1400. IN AUTO RENTAL FEES. THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED A MASS SEARCH FOR THE PART AS DID I, TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TALKED WITH MORE THAN 20 PONTIAC/GM DEALERS AROUND THE U.S. THEY ALL STATE; "WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM TO SAY - THE PART NO LONGER EXIST AND IS NOT AVAILABLE" I WAS ALWAYS TOLD: "BY LAW AN AUTO MANUFACTURE MUST MAKE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR UP TO 10 YEARS. THE PARTS MANUFACTURE, KARMANN MADE THE PART FOR GM. THEY MAY HAVE THE PART IN THEIR WAREHOUSE. BUT, ACCORDING TO THEIR EMPLOYEE, GM WILL NOT GIVE THEIR PERMISSION TO SELL IT - EVEN TO A GM DEALER. THE WORST THING IS: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OVER 25 PARTS DEALERS AND THEY ALL HAVE SAID: "YOU ARE ONE OF HUNDREDS OF CALLS WE ARE GETTING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM".. I AM A SINGLE HARDWORKING MOTHER WHO WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE HERSELF A DREAM VEHICLE, ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. PLEASE ASSIST ME TO GET THE PART, OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND RETURN MY INCURRED COSTS OF $13,500.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES INTERMITTENTLY AND STEERING IS HARD AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SHAKING OCCURS SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED. OTHER MODELS OF THE G6 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUES BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2007 MODELS.
