2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN, ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULE AND THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT TWICE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULB AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IT STILL PERSISTS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

PASSENGER HEADLAMP SOCKET KEEPS BURNING OUT. THIS HAPPENED ON MY OTHER 2008 G6. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AFTER I RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT APPEARS I AM RIDING MY BRAKES WHICH I AM NOT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND POTENTIALLY RECALL THE DEFECT. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN. *TR

THE BACK DOORS OF MY VEHICLE WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON OR MANUALLY INSIDE THE CAR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY PONTIAC G6 ALMOST 1 YR AGO, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I NOTICED THE CLUNK NOISE WHILE TURNING MOSTLY LEFT TURNS, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOTHING. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SO FAR WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE CLUNK NOISE BUT ONE MONTH AGO I KEPT GETTING A RADIO SIGNAL TO SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND MY CAR FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND THE WHEEL WOULD SHAKE BY ITSELF AND WAS WOULD STIFFEN UP LEFT TO RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER TO FIX IT BUT THE GM DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNSURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT NOTICED THE THAT WHILE IN PARK AND LIFTED OFF THE GROUND THE WHEELS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE BEING TURNED AND NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. THEY PUT IN A $27 PART A STEERING SENSOR KIT AND SAID THEY RESET THE BRAIN OF THE CAR AND SINCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY I PAID $311.00 . AND NOT 24 HOURS AFTER I DROVE OFF IT IS STILL HAPPENING, JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T GET WORSE THIS CAR I DEFINITELY HAVE TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE ISN'T BEING PRESSED. THIS IS ALSO LINKED TO MY CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE OF TURNING OFF WHILE ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN NOT TURNING BACK ON. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON...WILL STAY ON AND THEN SWITCH OFF. WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN SEAT IT STATES AIR BAG IS OFF.I AM HEARING TONS OF REPORTS OF 2008 G6 WITH SAME FAULTY AIR BAG SENSOR/MODULES/HARNESS SYSTEMS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT IF THESE AIRBAGS SHUT OFF WITH PASSENGERS IN THE SEAT. PLEASE RECALL THESE CARS! DEALERSHIPS ARE GIVING CUSTOMERS THE RUN AROUND WITH THESE ISSUES AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING 1000S OF DOLLARS TO HAVE FIXED AND ALOT OF TIMES AFTER REPLACING THE SEAT SENSOR OR THE MODULE THE LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AND AIR BAGS AREN'T GOING TO WORK PROPERLY IN A CRASH. *TR
