2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

BRAKE LIGHTS WORK SPORADICALLY , THEY STAY ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL NOT PUSHED , AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. PONTIAC HAS RECALLED , BUT ONLY ACCORDING TO VIN NUMBER. OF COURSE THEY SAY MY VIN ISN'T IN RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 G6 THAT ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. THE REAR DOOR LOCK HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. WE NOW CAN NOT USE THIS DOOR AS IT WILL ONLY UNLOCK BY HAND AND UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH THE OTHER PASSENGER DOOR YOU CAN NOT REACH THE LOCK. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT LOOKS LIKE ALMOST ALL THESE CARS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

LOSS OF STEERING = LOSS OF CONTROL. POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING, STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES WILL TURN ITSELF HARD LEFT SENDING THE CAR INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR HARD RIGHT SENDING THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, STEERING WHEEL WILL TURN LEFT AND RIGHT BY ITSELF WITH NO DRIVER INPUT. THIS ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN TO GM. WHEN WILL THE NHTSA DEMAND THAT GM FIX THESE UNSAFE CARS? THIS PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, WITH NO WARNING. PONTIAC DEALER SAYS 2008 G6 IS TOO NEW TO BE COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL, THEY WANT $1500 TO FIX IT AND I WANT THE RECALL EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2008 MODELS. *TR

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST YEAR. I USE IT WHEN IT WORKS AND KEEP IT OFF WHEN IT DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE. IN THE PAST MONTHS, MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT ENGAGED; ONCE I ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AS WELL. *TR

I OWN AN 2008 PONTIAC G6 2.4L I HAVE NOT HAD MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 FOR A FULL YEAR YET AND THE FAULTY STEERING ISSUES STARTED SHOWING UP IN JUNE. STEERING TO THE LEFT IS VERY LOOSE WHILE STEERING TO THE RIGHT IS VERY TIGHT. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN I FELT I LOST SOME CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. TOO MUCH PLAY ON THE STEERING AND I WAS NOT SURE HOW MUCH I NEEDED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE MY TURN SAFELY. I BECAME VERY FOCUSED ON THE STEERING PERFORMANCE AFTER THAT AND NOTICED THAT LEFT TURNS WERE LOOSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED LOOSELY WHILE ON RIGHT TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIGID AND COULD NOT BE MOVED AND REQUIRED MORE FORCE IN MAKING THE TURN. I HAD THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ASSEMBLY REPLACED IN JULY.AND THE ISSUES ARE STILL THERE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY STATED THIS IS HOW THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SHOULD WORK HOW CAN INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE DUE TO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION NOT WARRANT A RECALL?!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MOTOR. THE FAILURE HAPPENED 8 TO 10 TIMES WITH DIFFERENT FAMILY MEMBERS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN BY ANOTHER DRIVER, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,675 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

INTERMITTENT STALLING OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST THE STALLING TOOK PLACE ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS AND ONLY AS THE SPEED WAS DECREASING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER TO EXPLAIN THE STALLING AND WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT. OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS THE STALLING HAS INCREASED. THE CAR STALLS EVERY FEW DAYS, AND AT TIMES STALLS WHILE ACCELERATING. AFTER THE CAR STALLS, IT IMMEDIATELY STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. *TR

I PURCHASED A 08 PONTIAC G6 GT USED WITH AROUND 20,000 MILES. AT 32,000 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY ROTORS. THEY FRONT OF THE CAR WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER AND REQUESTED NEW ROTORS SINCE I AM AWARE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THE ROTORS. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM BUT ONLY TURN THEM. AT 42,000 THEY ARE NOW WARPED AGAIN. I FIRST COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT DONE THE WORK AND THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF LUCK. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SAID THAT I WAS OUT OF LUCK. BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM" WITH THOSE CARS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE OF ALL THE MOUNTAINS. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THE G6/MALIBU/AURA (GM'S EPSILON) CARS. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. *TR

2008 PONTIAC G6 - STEERING PROBLEMS, STEERING HEEL, JERKS AND TWITCHES LEFT AND RIGHT,. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE CAR MOVES LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING, ITS JERKS AND JUST MOVES, ON ITS OWN. I USE MY CARE FOR WORK EVERYDAY AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. *TR

FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS, MY AUTOMATIC 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAS HAD POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. THE STEERING GOES FROM FINE TO EXTREMELY BAD SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT THE MECHANIC AT THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE, SO HE SENT ME AWAY, TO KEEP DRIVING IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AT TIMES. IT BINDS. IT STEERS IN SEGMENTS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY HAZARD! *TR
