2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE HORN KEEPS GOING OFF. ITS NOT EVEN TO THE REGULAR RHYTHM OF A CAR ALARM, ITS SPORADIC; SOME LONG HONKS AND THEN SOME AT STACCATO. THE HORN WON'T STOP GOING OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT I THOUGHT IT WAS A GEM AFTER A FEW MONTHS MY HEAD LIGHTS WOULD BURN OUT A FEW TIMES A MONTH. AFTER REPLACING THEM I NOTICED THE ACTUAL WIRING WAS MELTED. MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A STORM MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. MY WIPER FLUID WON'T COME OUT ONLY MAKES THE SOUND. MY POWER STEERING WILL TURN OFF RANDOMLY. STOCK RADIO STOPPED WORKING. NOW MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE ACTING UP AND WON'T LIGHT. MY SHIFTER ALSO HAS BEEN ACTING STRANGE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT. BLINKERS BLEW OUT SAME TIME AS BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A HAZARD. *TR

FOR APPROXIMATELY 6-8 MONTHS MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS ONCE A MONTH SINCE IT BEGAN. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SINCE MY HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. I FIGURED SINCE THE BRAKE RECALL WAS ELECTRICAL, THIS APPLIES TO THE WHOLE CAR, BUT GM SAYS IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE WHOLE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CORVETTES ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. I THINK ELECTRICAL ISSUES AFFECT THE WHOLE CAR, BUT WITH ALL THE RECALLS GM IS TRYING TO AVOID WHAT IT CAN. I'M NOT A MECHANIC THOUGH. HOPEFULLY IF ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE GM WILL BE FORCED TO RECALL. *TR

THE CAR HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE ITS PURCHASE. TO SUMMARIZE: I HAD AN IGNITION FUSE REPAIRED IN 2009 WHEN THE CAR TURNED OFF SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. REPLACED A FAULTY HEADLIGHT SOCKET THAT WAS MELTED TO THE INSIDE HOUSING, HAVE REPLACED AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF LIGHT BULBS IN THE CAR, AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAIL. MOST RECENTLY, REMOTE IGNITION WAS NOT WORKING, BUT WAS LATER FIXED AFTER A MAJOR REPAIR LAST MONTH TO THE POWER STEERING. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID MY POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $750 DOLLARS. WAS AWARE OF A RECALL FOR 2009 G-6'S FOR POWER STEERING, BUT DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING RECALL. WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. CONTACTED GM, WHO TOLD US TO WAIT FOR A NEW ROUND OF RECALL LETTERS TO BE DISTRIBUTED. IN THE MEANTIME, IT TAKES 6 DAYS FOR THE REPAIRS, AND ONLY AFTER SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONING DID THE DEALER ADMIT THAT PARTS WERE HARD TO FIND DUE TO THE RECALL. WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET US HAVE THE FAULTY PART TO PURSUE ACTION FROM GM. DEALER TOLD US THEY HAD THROWN PARTS AWAY, DESPITE THIS BEING AGAINST GM PROTOCOL. THEY LOCATED OUR PART AFTER WE PUSHED THEM TO INVESTIGATE (CAR HAD BEEN REPAIRED THAT VERY MORNING, PARTS HAD NOT BEEN THROWN AWAY), AND ASSESSED A $100 CORE CHARGE. HAVE BEEN BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GM AND DEALER SINCE, WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY EITHER PARTY. MOST RECENTLY, GM SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT, AND DEALER SAID THE PARTS THEY REPAIRED WERE NOT RECALLED SO THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE EITHER. AS THESE PARTS ARE UNLIKELY TO BREAK WITHOUT CAUSE, AND DON'T NEED FREQUENT SERVICING, IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY ARE FAULTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO REEXAMINE THEIR RECALL. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE HEADLAMP WIRING ASSEMBLY FAILED (FIRST THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THEN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE A FEW MONTHS LATER). HEADLAMP WIRING ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SHOWED EVIDENCE OF HIGH HEAT (MELTED WIRING AND PLUG) AT THE REAR OF THE CONNECTOR IN HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THIS AS "NORMAL" FOR CARS WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MILES AT THE TIME. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKES A LOUD SCRAPING SOUND. SOMETIMES HARD TO TURN WHEEL ESPECIALLY MAKING TURNS. *TR
