2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

IN MID-JULY, 2015 ONE HEADLIGHT (DIM) STOPPED WORKING AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE OTHER DID ALSO. I REPLACED BOTH DIM HEADLIGHTS ON JULY 18, 2015. WITHIN A WEEK, BOTH DIM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. I LIMITED MY DRIVING TO DAYTIME HOURS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 7, 2015, THE HIGH BEAM LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT. I REPLACED BOTH DIM HEADLIGHTS ON DECEMBER 9, 2015 SINCE WE HAD A TRIP PLANNED THAT WOULD INVOLVE SOME NIGHTTIME DRIVING. THE DIM LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WENT OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS AND THE OTHER DIM LIGHT WENT OUT ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2015. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM TO TWO DIFFERENT GM DEALERSHIPS, BOTH OF WHICH ADVISED ME TO PAY TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED. NEITHER OF THE DEALERSHIPS SEEMED CONCERNED THAT THERE MIGHT BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND BOTH DECLINED TO NOTIFY GM OF THE PROBLEM ON MY BEHALF. *JS

CAR IS UNSAFE IT'S LIKE YOUR ALL OVER THE ROAD STEELERING 8 VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2009. ONE OF THE FIRST PROBLEMS I NOTICED WAS WHAT SEEMED TO BE ELECTRICAL WITH THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR GOING DIM FOR A BIT, THEN KICKING BACK IN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE KEEPS GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN PUTTING A NEW LIGHT IN. PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WORKS AT ALL TIMES. ALL THREE OTHER WINDOWS ARE INOPERABLE AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL JERK WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING A STICK SHIFT VEHICLE, BUT THIS INDEED A AUTOMATIC. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS WELL. BACK BREAK LIGHTS CONSTANTLY STAYED ON. THEY WOULD GO OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BREAKS AND RELEASE, BUT THEN WOULD COME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY WHILE ACCELERATING. --THIS WAS A RECALL THAT HAS BEEN FIXED--

VEHICLE WAS ON A STREET DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPLIED PRESSURE TO BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN TO COME TO A STOP AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT POPPED ON. THEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ON THE CAR AND THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND BEFORE I PUT MY CAR IN PARK IT DIED. AFTER I PLACED IT IN PARK AND BEGAN TO GET ME AND MY CHILDREN OUT IT STARTED ROLLING AWAY. BRAKES WASN'T STOPPING IT BUT EMERGENCY BRAKE DID. MOW MY CAR WONT START AT ALL.

AT RED LIGHT, WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON GAS AND CAR ACTED AS THO IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT WILL NOT GO EXCEPT IN REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT IN THE MANUAL MODE TO GET CLOSER TO HOME AND SAME THING HAPPENED IN MANUAL MODE IN STOPPED TRAFFIC. I'VE SINCE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE PONTIAC G6 OWNERS FORUM, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. I'VE GOTTEN VERBAL ESTIMATES FROM A FEW TRANSMISSION REPAIR FACILITIES AND THE COST TO REPAIR RANGES FROM $2200-$3400. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS, AND IT'S AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. JUST BECAUSE NO ONE HAS REPORTEDLY DIED IT APPEARS GM WON'T ISSUE THE RECALL. IF THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC IT COULD VERY WELL CAUSE INJURIES/FATALITIES. GM REFUSES TO HELP WHEN CONTACTED. I NEED HELP, THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I COULD LOSE MY JOB IF I CANNOT GET THIS FIXED SOON.
