2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING MY PONTIAC G6 THERE APPEARS TO BE A SLIGHT CLUNK COMING FROM THE FRONT STEERING SYSTEM. ON TURNS THE SAME CLUNK HAPPENS AND YOU CAN FEEL IT EVER SO SLIGHTLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING IS VERY TIGHT WHILE DRIVING BUT AS SOON AS I'M STOPPED IT LOOSENS UP NOTICEABLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THE CAR I'VE FOUND THAT THIS MODEL IS A CANDIDATE FOR A RECALL INVOLVING THE U-JOINTS, WHICH SEEMS TO BE WHERE THE CLUNK IS OCCURRING FROM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LAMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT OBSERVED FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

ELECTRICAL SPASMS. ALL GAUGES(INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND TAC) FLAKE OUT, BOUNCE AROUND, GO TO ZERO. TRACTION CONTROL SHUTS DOWN. HVAC ELECTRICAL GOES OUT. NO WAY TO SEE OUT WINDSHIELD AS DEFROST WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS OCCURS. WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AN OFF AND ON AGAIN ETC. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. VERY UNSAFE AND RELATES VERY WELL WITH RECALL ALREADY MADE BY GM ON 05/15/2014 FOR 2007 G6 BUT NOT FOR MY G6??? HOW??? I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND CAN'T GET THEM TO TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY. DEALER DID ACTUALLY FIX ONE PROBLEM ONCE WHEN THE BLOWER FAN WOULD COME ON WHENEVER IT FELT LIKE IT EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF, KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, DOORS LOCKED, AND US WALKING AWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD A FEW DEAD BATTERY INSTANCES. ACTUALLY HAD A DEALER AND GM INVOLVED. DEALER WANTED TO HAVE A BLANK CHECK TO CONTINUE TO DO DIAGNOSTICS AFTER HAVING SEE THE PROBLEM AND EXTRACTED 17 ERROR CODES FROM THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, ASKED GM WHO HAD NO IDEA, AND WANTED ME TO LET THEM DIAGNOSE WITH NO LIMIT. UNBELIEVABLE. MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR EMITTING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO THE INSIDE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED FUEL LEAKING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 ( FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK CALIPER LOCKED UP WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING PRESSED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AND THE FRONT END WAS SHAKING VERY HARD. WE WERE IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BRAKE LOCKED UP, WHEN WE STOPPED THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WAS LOCKED IN PLACE AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE WHEEL. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. 4 OF THOSE TIMES WERE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SHORTLY AFTER CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. THE OTHER 2 TIMES WERE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN TOWN. PONTIAC WAS NOTIFIED THEY PAID FOR DIAGNOSTIC IN CASE IT WAS RELATED TO A RECENT RECALL BUT DID NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

AGAIN, I BOUGHT THIS CAR BACK IN 2009 AND THE FRONT END WAS MAKING CLUNKING SOUNDS IN THE FRONT END AT SLOW SPEEDS. ALSO, EVERY SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD SEEMS LIKE I'M DRIVING DOWN A WAR ZONE. I UNDERSTAND THESE ARE LOW PROFILE TIRES AND THE RIDE ISN'T LIKE A CADILLAC, HOWEVER, THE FRONT END ON THESE CARS ARE NOT WELL BUILT. FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE SOUNDS MAKE ME FEEL UNEASY AS IF THE TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FALL OFF FROM ALL THE CLUNKING, POPPING AND OTHER SOUNDS! THIS IS ALSO TRUE IN MANY OTHER GM MODELS, AS WELL. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? OR NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT? WHEN I TRADE THIS IN, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT, THAT'S FOR SURE!

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS PONTIAC BACK IN 2009, IT HAD A LOUD CLUNKING AND STEERING SOUND IN THE FRONT END WHICH GOT WORSE OVER THE YEARS. I CAN FEEL THE NOISE VIBRATE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. THE GM DEALER SAID, 'IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.' I HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT AND THEY CLAIM IT'S FINE. I DID ONLINE RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY OTHER GM PONTIAC OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHY WON'T GM FIX THIS?

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP SHORTING OUT HAVE REPLACED BULBS SOCKETS THE GO ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST GOES OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. HAVE NEARLY CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS! OTHER 2007 PONTIAC G6'S ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL 14772, BUT THIS CAR IS NOT. THE EXACT THING DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL IS OCURRING WITH THIS CAR!
