2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

99 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT I HEAR A LOUD POPPING AND WINING SOUND STOPPED BY A CAR SHOP WAS TOLD THE STEERING DAMPERS WERE GOING BAD WAS TOLD IT HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS CAR I HAVE BEEN READING SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THIS THEY ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TOLD ME THAT MY TAIL LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. I INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND NOTICED THEY DID NOT ILLUMINATE UNTIL MY FOOT WAS OFF THE BRAKE. THEY DID NOT LIGHT IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE BRAKES WILL ALSO DRIVE AROUND SHOWING THEY ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED. *TR

2008 PONTIAC G6, BRAKE LIGHTS WORK OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. CRUISE CONTROL WON'T ENGAGE EVERY TIME (WORKS INTERMITTENTLY). *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CRUISE WOULD NOT SET. I WAS ALSO BEING FOLLOWED BY MY WIFE AT THE TIME. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, SHE ASKED ME IF I WAS RIDING THE BRAKES. I TOLD HER I WAS NOT AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON ALL THE TIME, EXCEPT FOR AFTER MAKING A STOP & RESTARTING THEY WOULD GO OUT BRIEFLY AND COME BACK ON AND STAY ON. SINCE THAT DAY THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH AS I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE TO WORK AND YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNLESS YOU TRY TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO PASS AN 18 WHEELER UP HILL, THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED INTO THE PASSING GEAR, AT 5000RPM ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. I ALSO LOST POWER-STEERING. A WEEK LATER WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK, I LOST POWER STEERING. NO FLASHING LIGHTS JUST NOW POWER STEERING. IT TOOK ALL I COULD TO TURN THE WHEEL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FIXED BY APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE TO CONTROL MODULE CONTACTS BUT PROBLEM RECURS WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR TO WILKINS BUICK JANUARY TO BE FIXED, THEY TOOK IT IN DID THE WORK IN 30 MINUTES GAVE ME BACK MY CAR . I WENT BACK OUT FEBRUARY 14 THE CAR WAS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS CUTTING OFF REVERSE GEAR WAS NOT WORKING WHILE IN PARK THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD BLINK.THEY DID A DIAGNOSTICS BUT THEY COULDN'T READ ANYTHING STATING IT WAS THE NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE PCM SONI TOOK IT SOMEWHERE IS THEY FIX WE D THE COMPUTER PROBLEM BUT NOT THE SHIFTER SO THE SHIFTER IS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS .THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP PUT THESE DEFECTIVE CARS ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR IS NOT AAFE AT ALL I WOULD LIKE THE PROPER HELP IN GETTING IT FIXED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR I WILL GLADLY CALL MY LAWYER ABOUT THE ISSUE THIS IS A DANGER TO ME AND MY KIDS AND PONTIAC HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR ISSUE ME ANOTHER CAR UNTIL I KNOW ME AND MY KIDS ARE SAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH THE HEAD OF THIS COMPANY ABOUT THE SITUATION AND I WILL NOT STOP HERE. THANK YOU KINDLY *TR
