2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SILOS THEN BANGS INTO GEAR. OTHERS ON INTERNET DESCRIBE THAT IT FEELS LIKE CAR HIT FROM BEHIND. I AGREE. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE APPEARS FREQUENTLY AND PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED, EVEN IF A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS IN VEHICLES WITH AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEATS, BUT SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS FACTORY LEATHER SEATS, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY EXTEND TO VEHICLES WITH FACTORY LEATHER SEATS AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, BUT I ONLY RECENTLY REALIZED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *JS

EXITING THE HIGHWAY, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON, CAR DISPLAYS ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THEN ENGINE DISABLED. CAR ROLLS TO A STOP, PUT IN PARK AND TRY TO START. WAIT APPROX 30 SECONDS, CAR STARTS, BUT IT'S A HARD START. *TR

THE PONTIAC G6 2006 FUEL PUMP IS FAULTY AND THERE'S ALOT OF COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PART. THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THIS ISSUE IS GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT FOR SOME VERY STRANGE REASON RECALL THE VEHICLES FROM 2007-2010 AND LEFT OFF THE 2006 MODEL WHICH SEEM TO SUFFER MOST FROM THIS FUEL PUMP DEFECT FROM THE PLASTIC MADE PART ON THEIR PUMP. THE DEALERSHIP AFTER CHARGING ME $134 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY KNEW FROM BEFORE WANTED AN ADDITIONAL $1200 TO REPLACE THEIR OWN DEFECTIVE PUMP WHICH THEY RECALLED ON THE 2007 MODEL AND MANY OTHER VEHICLE....ITS A MAJOR RIP OFF AND A [XXX] SHAME !
