TIRES
I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR VIBRATING IN AUGUST 2006. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS LATER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME I RODE WITH THE MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS VIBRATING BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF BALANCE. I HAD THE CAR BALANCED AND THEN IT BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED TO VIBRATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. I HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. THE CARE STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT. AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO TALK WITH A MANAGER. THEY THEN DIAGNOSED IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. THEY SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING IT IN SO THEY COULD GET THE NUMBERS OFF THE TIRE FOR THEM TO ORDER A NEW TIRE. THAT WAS 2.5 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE SINCE ASKED THAT ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE BE PUT ON THE CAR, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO THAT BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE A LETTER FROM A MECHANIC AT AN AGENCY THAT SPECIALIZES IN TIRES/WHEELS. THEY FEEL IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAVE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT MY REAR DOORS ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 4-DOOR COUPE IS MISSING THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES IT SHOULD HAVE AS A STANDARD FEATURE. HAVING 2 SMALL CHILDREN I FIND THIS FEATURE INCREDIBLY NECESSARY ON MY VEHICLE AND THOUGHT IT WAS A STANDARD ON ALL VEHICLES. AFTER FINDING THIS I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT CHILD SAFETY LOCKS WERE DISCONTINUED ON THE 2006 MODEL OF THIS CAR AND THEN REINSTATED IN 2007 MODELS. I FIND THIS BOGUS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AUTOMATIC START ON VEHICLE FAILED TO WORK. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART. WHEN THE PART WAS IN, RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. LEFT THE LOCATION, THE AUTOMATIC START TURNED ON THE CAR. WHEN I RETURNED HOME THAT EVENING AND WAS READY TO GO OUT AGAIN, THE AUTOMATIC START TURNED ON THE CAR BUT FAILED TO REMAIN ON FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES. LATER ON IN THE SAME EVENING, THE AUTOMATIC START FAILED TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE, BUT DID TURN ON THE LOCK LIGHTS. RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY STATED THE CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. LEFT DEALERSHIP AND CAR REFUSED TO START BY AUTOMATIC START. RETURNED AGAIN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE MECHANIC WITNESSED THE AUTOMATIC START FAILURE. THEY AGAIN TESTED IT, AND ONCE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE TURNED ON FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY SPOKE WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT, AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT ADVISED IT WAS PROBABLY CELL PHONE INTERFERENCE. I'M APPARENTLY STUCK WITH IT WORKING THAT WAY, HOWEVER, I TURNED OFF MY CELL PHONE TO START THE VEHICLE W/ AUTOMATIC START AND IT STILL FAILED TO DO SO. *NM

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
FIRST, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THE POWER STEERING REMAINED OPERABLE. THEREAFTER, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND THE OTHER AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND THE POWER STEERING WILL COME BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PREVENT ANY RESULTING ACCIDENTS, BUT IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR MID-TURN THE RESULT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *NM

STEERING
MY CAR HAD A POWER STEERING FAILURE ON NOVEMBER 17, 2006. MY WIFE HAD PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE STEERING LOCKED. WHEN SHE LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHEEL TURNED LEFT TO THE STOP WITHOUT OUTSIDE INPUT. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO A PARKING LOT, AND THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A STEERING GEAR REPLACED. ON 11/28/2006, MY WIFE PICKED UP THE CAR, AND ON THE WAY HOME, THE STEERING LOCKED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. SHE DROVE OFF THE ROAD, HIT A CURB AND SCRAPED A TELEPHONE POLE, RENDERING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. GM SENT A TECHNICIAN TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM, AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING, DESPITE THE FIRST HAND INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY BOTH MY WIFE, AND THE TOW DRIVER STATING THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS LOCKED AND THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. *JB PHONE INTERVIEW UPDATE (MARCH 12, 2007): DEALER THOUGHT THE STEERING PULL WAS CAUSED BY THE RACK AND PINION UNIT AND REPLACED IT. THE STEERING LOCK-UP AFTERWARD AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED. DEALER SERVICE MANAGER FOUND FAULT CODE C0545 FROM THE COMPUTER. GM ISSUED A TSB TO ADDRESS THAT FAULT CODE.

STEERING:COLUMN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING SEIZES INTERMITTENTLY ON HIS 2005 PONTIAC GT. THE FAILURE SPEED HAS VARIED, HOWEVER, HE COULD TELL WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO SEIZE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND SHIFT TO THE LEFT ON ITS OWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000 MILES. THE STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES BECAUSE OF THE STEERING PROBLEMS. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION. THE REPAIR INVOICE DID NOT STATE THAT THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR 2-3 MONTHS. THE CONTACT IS NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAS THE REPAIR INVOICES. *NM

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE, POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON CONSOLE. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I HAD TO RESTART CAR TO GET THE POWER STEERING BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN, SINCE THERE ISN'T A POWER STEERING PUMP IT IS ALL ELECTRICAL AND THE SWITCH IS IN THE COLUMN. THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PIECE WILL COME IN, BUT THEY SAID I COULD DRIVE IT AND IF IT GOES OUT AGAIN, IT WON'T DO ANY HARM, JUST BE A "SURPRISE". I PRAY THAT IT DOESN'T GO OUT GOING AT A HIGHER SPEED AROUND A CURVE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD SEVERAL TYPES OF ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WAS RESET BY DEALER WITH NO CODES FOUND. THE NEXT WAS LOW COOLANT WARNING THAT WAS A DEFECTIVE WIRE AND REPAIRED. ANOTHER TIME THE VEHICLE SIMPLY WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER FILLING VEHICLE WITH GAS THE DASH PANEL WAS COMPLETELY OUT, VEHICLE RAN NORMAL. DEALER WAS AWARE THAT NO INSTRUMENTS WERE WORKING AND WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM, NO CODES FOUND. DOME LIGHT NEVER WORKED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE FIXED. IN DECEMBER I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND SMELLED MELTING OR BURNING PLASTIC AND SECONDS LATER A SMALL CLOUD OF FOWL SCENTED SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK . WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. AT THE TIME I WAS CERTIFIED PONTIAC RETAIL PROFESSIONAL AND AS OF NEW YEARS DAY HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN A RENTAL VEHICLE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL IN THE SITUATION AND AS A RESULT I HAVE SINCE LEFT MY JOB AS A GM SALES PROFESSIONAL. GM WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THEY DRAG THEIR FEET TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE WAITED UNTIL NEW YEARS DAY TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT TO GIVE GM AMPLE TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I PURCHASED MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 JAN. 10, 2005. THIS CAR IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING FIRST THING. IT WILL EITHER OVER START LIKE I HELD THE IGNITION TOO LONG OR IT WILL KEEP TRYING TO START ONCE IT HAS BEEN STARTED. IN BOTH CASES, THE ENGINE WILL DIE. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFYING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS LESS THAN A MONTH OLD. EACH TIME, IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, RAN ON THE COMPUTER, AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THE TECHNICIANS COULDN'T RE-CREATE THE ISSUE. I CALLED GMAC ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAD THEIR OWN TECHNICIAN COME OUT. THEIR TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT A CERTAIN VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND ONCE IT WAS FIXED, IT WOULD SOLVE ALL ISSUES. PART WAS INSTALLED AND TO THIS DAY, THE CAR STILL IS OVERSTARTING. I STATED 700 FAILURES BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPT 05, IN DEC 05 I WENT TO GO TO WORK ON A MONDAY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HAD NOT USED THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE. MY SON JUMPSTARTED IT AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE BATTERY COULDN'T HOLD A CHARGE AND THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY. IN FEB 06, THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN, I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND TOLD ME THAT I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR ENOUGH TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. I DRIVE MY CAR BETWEEN 17 TO 20 MILES A DAY. THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT WAS DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER TALKED WITH GM TECH SUPPORT WHO ALSO AGREED WITH THE DEALER THAT I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR ENOUGH. THEY ALSO CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE PARASITIC DRAW AND THEY ALL ARE FINE. ONCE AGAIN THEY RECHARGED MY BATTERY. ONE MONTH LATER IN MARCH THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE AND TOLD ME THAT GM TECH SUPPORT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND NO FURTHER TESTS WILL BE DONE. THEY AGREED TO LET ME COME IN AND HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. APPROX TWO WEEKS LATER THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AND IT WAS FAILING SO THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO HAVE MY BATTERY TESTED UNTIL THE END OF APRIL. I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL JULY 06 WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I HAD IT JUMPSTARTED AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AGAIN AND FOUND NOTHING. ALL WAS WELL UNTIL NOV 06 WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALER ONLY KEEPS THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND HAS NOT TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CAR STARTS NORMALLY WITH NO PROBLEM AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT I AM LEASING SINCE 11/1/2005 AND SINCE AUGUST 2006 I HAVE BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY AND ENGINE ON AND OFF. THEN FINALLY ON AUGUST 21, 2006 I WENT TO GO START IT AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WHICH STARTED LEAKING BATTERY ACID INTO THE ENGINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IN MID SEPTEMBER 2006, I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND WENT TO START MY CAR TO GO HOME AND IT WAS DEAD. I WAS AT A STORE AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED AGAIN TO A NEAREST DEALER. THERE THEY FOUND IT WAS A WIRING HARNESS CHAFE AROUND THE STARTER MOTOR AND ALSO CONCERNING THE AIR CONDITIONING LINES AND THAT CAUSED A FEW FUSES TO BLOW. AS OF TODAY NOVEMBER 28, 2006 I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR AND THE DEALER CANT FIND WHATS WRONG. THE CAR JUST TURNED ONE YEAR AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY A PORTABLE JUMP STARTER BECASUE THIS CAR IS SO UNPREDICTABLE. IT HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS AND I AM TIRED OF IT. *NM
