2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF EVEN IF THERE WAS A PASSENGER, OR STAY ON IF THERE WAS NO PASSENGER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR G6'S THAT HAD CLOTH SEATS THAT WERE CHANGED TO LEATHER SEATS. MY CAR HAS LEATHER SEATS, HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THIS RECALL. THE REPAIR SHOP INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM. THE WIRING FOR THE SENSORS WAS NEVER PROPERLY DONE. THERE WAS NO SPACE TO PUT CERTAIN WIRES AND THEY WERE NEVER CONNECTED. THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS NEVER PROPERLY CONNECTED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH EXITING A PARKING LOT, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED UNKNOWN REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,361.

THE CAR HAD A "TICKING" SOUND FOR 3 WEEKS. THE SOUND STARTS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOP AND SHUT OFF. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING SO I LEFT IT GO AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. THEY SAY THE CAR IS CRAP..THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND PART OF THE PISTON BROKE OFF AND FLEW INTO THE MOTOR, DAMAGING IT. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPEN. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH REPAIRING AND NO ONE WANTS IT FOR A TRADE IN NOR WILL THE LOAN GO AWAY. THESE CARS SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE MARKET.

WHILE PUTTING VEHICLE IN GEAR IT JERKS VERY HARD. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND WHILE DRIVING, THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON AND IT SHUTS DOWN. WHILE IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK OFF AND ON. TOOK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND PUT IT ON TEST THEY SAID WIRING WAS BAD. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. ALSO, THEY FIX RECALL FOR POWER STRAIN AND GEAR SHIFT CABLE AND CAR BEEN ACTING UP EVER SINCE SERVICE LIGHT ON AND NOT CHANGING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED WHERE THE LEAK INITIALLY STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,881.

ON JULY 9 AND 29 2015. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING MY CAR SUDDENLY WENT DEAD POWER STEERING LOCKED HAD TO WRESTLING WITH IT JUST TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE GET OFF THE ROAD. IT HAD BEGIN TO SHAKE AS IF THE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. THE CAR DID NOT START. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT STILL DID THE SAME THING AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER ON JULY 29 2015. STILL HAD NOT STARTED.

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND PARKING, BOTH CAR INTERIOR AND TRUNK SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS. CHECKED PAVEMENT UNDER CAR FOR LEAKING GAS, BUT DID NOT SEE ANY. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES WITH THE SMELL DETECTED WHILE DRIVING. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE GAS SMELL IS SO STRONG AND I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS WHO HAVE IDENTIFIED SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN TRACED TO A HARD PLASTIC FUEL LINE THAT COMES OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS TANK. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED...TOO RISKY TO DRIVE. ALL OF THIS COMBINED WITH THE CAR'S HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ISSUES ARE JUST WAY TOO MUCH. I CANNOT RELY ON THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION AT ALL, AND IT IS APPARENTLY WORTHLESS AS A TRADE-IN.
