2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH / CANCEL CAM STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON MY ORIGINAL OWNER 2008 G6. SIGNALS FLASH BUT STAY ON WELL AFTER A TURN IS MADE. THIS SHOULD BE ANOTHER RECALL AS IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS. RECALLS ARE NEEDED ON THE FAULTY HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS AND THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT ITEMS AS WELL. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TODAY.

GEARS STOPPED WORKING AND CAR ROLLED AND STOPPED ON THE CURB, DEALER WILL NOT FIX RECALLED GEAR CABLE BECAUSE THE OWNER BEFORE ME HAD IT FIXED BUT IT HAS BROKE AGAIN

I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON NORTHBOUND I-75 WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND REALIZED THAT THE GLASS FROM MY SUNROOF WAS IN MY LAP. I REALIZE GLASS CAN BREAK BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE IN MY LAP AT 70 MPH! I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE KEPT MY COMPOSURE, SAFELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WITH POWER ADJUST FOR UP/DOWN MOVEMENT STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND NOW LEANS TO THE RIGHT, PUSHING DRIVER INTO MIDDLE CONSOLE. INVESTIGATION SHOWS COMPLETE SEPARATION OF WELDED BRACKET ON BOTTOM OF SEAT RACK FRAME ADJUSTMENT TUBE - EVIDENT OF A FAULTY WELD DURING MANUFACTURING. THE OPPOSITE WELDED BRACKET IS STILL INTACT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY IN SEPTEMBER 2014. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OPDS MODULE WAS FAULTY. HE SAID THE COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT BOTTOM WOULD BE AROUND $750 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS INTERNAL AND NOT A RESULT OF ANY DAMAGE THAT I OR A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT COULD HAVE CAUSED. I WOULD HOPE TO SEE GM ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM 2 OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS. I KNOW THAT SEEMS LIKE A VERY SMALL NUMBER, BUT I LIVE IN A TOWN THAT HAS A POPULATION OF 500 PEOPLE. I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE GM VEHICLE OWNERS IN THE U.S. EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. LIVES COULD BE LOST IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT GOING TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH IF THE SENSOR INSIDE THE SEAT IS FAULTY. THE SEAT BOTTOM IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. I AM A VERY LOYAL GM OWNER. I OWN A 1997 GMC 3500 TRUCK, A 2001 CHEVY MONTE CARLO, A 2006 CHEVY HHR AS WELL AS THIS 2008 PONTIAC G6. LASTLY, EVEN MY RV IS A CHEV. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE TRADITION ALIVE AS A PROUD GM OWNER. PLEASE HELP TO START THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED. *TR

THE SECOND HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS FAILED LEAVING US WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT, NOT BECAUSE THE BULB BURNED OUT BUT THE WIRING HARNESS ITSELF MELTED. GM REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOUND THOUSANDS OF RESULTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE GM DEALER DOES NOT HAVE AN EXACT REPLACEMENT PART THEY JUST GIVE OUT A GENERIC WIRING HARNESS THAT THE OWNER MUST CUT AND SPLICE TOGETHER. IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT A WIRING HARNESS FOR SUCH A BASIC ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE CAR WOULD EVER FAIL, MUCH LESS SO SOON. THE WIRES ARE OBVIOUSLY GETTING TOO HOT AND MELTING WHICH SHOWS A COMPLETE LACK OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING THAT WENT INTO DESIGNING THE HEADLIGHT WIRING. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. OWNERS TYPICALLY DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME AS THE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY ONCE THE WIRING STARTS TO DEGRADE. THEY MIGHT NOTICE FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THE LIGHTS ARE NOT AS BRIGHT AS NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPY ROADS, OR SPEED BUMPS AS THE JARRING OF THE WIRES CAN FORCE THE WIRES IN AND OUT OF CONTACT. MAKE GM FIX THIS NOW!!! *TR

GM HAS YET TO FIX MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN MY 2008 PONTIAC G6. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT I DEAL WITH CANNOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO SEND THEM THE PARTS TO FIX IT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GM BUT ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS TALK TO YOU AND NOT FIX ANYTHING. FURTHERMORE I STILL NEED REIMBURSED 600.00 FOR THE STEERING COLUMN THAT WAS REPLACED JUST BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED BY GM. *TR
