THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE A KEY HOLE TO MANUALLY OPEN EITHER DOOR OR THE TRUNK. 2) STATONARY OR IN MOTION - LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE BOTH WIRING CONNECTORS FOR LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE MELTED AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IN A PARKING LOT, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. AFTER TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK, THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BECAME UNATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BECAME UNUSABLE. THE CAR ROLLED BACK AFTER THE SHIFTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN PARK, BUT LUCKILY THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON TO ASSIST IN MOVING THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO ALLOW THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BURNING/SHORTING OUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO. USUALLY I JUST REPLACE THE BULB AND IT BURNS OUT SHORTLY BUT THEN WE HAD IT REWIRED. WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BUT THE WHOLE WIRING IS MESSED UP AGAIN AND THEY WANT TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. I SEARCHED ON SOME FORUMS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING. MOST RECENT WAS DRIVING HOME FROM NEW YORK ON FRIDAY AND IT WENT OUT. IT COMES BACK WITHOUT WARNING AS WELL. IT IS WORKING FINE NOW. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAPPENS 95 PERCENT OF THE TIME WITH THEM WORKING THE CORRECT WAY GETTING LESS AND LESS FREQUENT.

ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY DUE TO A CONSTANT COOLANT LEAK. LEAK FIRST APPEARED AT BOTTOM CORNER PASSENGER SIDE OF RADIATOR, AND WITHIN A WEEK HAD ALSO SHOWED UP ON BOTTOM CORNER DRIVER SIDE OF RADIATOR. EVENTUALLY WOUND UP REPLACING THE OVERFLOW RESERVOIR, 3/4" HOSE TEE LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER OVERFLOW, SEVERAL CLAMPS, TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES, INSTALLED BRAND NEW RADIATOR AND OIL PRESSURE SWITCH LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE OIL FILTER. AFTER 10 DAYS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LEAKS, THEY REAPPEARED IN EXACTLY THE SAME LOCATIONS. FINALLY TRACED LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE TO UPPER CORNER PASSENGER SIDE OF INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, AND THE DRIVER SIDE LEAK TRACES TO ALMOST DIRECTLY AT THE COOLANT CROSSOVER PIPE GASKET. NOW, I'M AGAIN FACING ANOTHER $200 PAYOUT TO THE PARTS STORE.! I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR MYSELF, AS I HAVE MADE ALL REPAIRS FOR THE PREVIOUS 6 MONTHS. MY 07 G6 WAS WONDERFUL FOR THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, BUT THE LAST 3 YEARS HAVE BECOME NOTHING MORE THAN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. IF I COULD FILE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY EXPENSES DURING THIS TIME I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT WITH THE PRICES OF PARTS, CURRENT HOURLY RATE CHARGE SET AT $75-$100 HOUR, AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR TIME SPENT WASTING TIME GOING TO PICK UP PARTS THE TOTAL WOULD MOST LIKELY COME OUT TO $8000-$9500. I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND SADLY I ALSO CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE INVESTING IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS BECOME A MECHANICAL MONSTROSITY WITH AN EXTREMELY VORACIOUS APPETITE FOR PARTS AND MONEY.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING ON ME, IVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I WENT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE WAITED ALMOST A MINUTE FOR IT TO SHIFT PRESSED THE GAS & IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE THEN IT KICKED REAL HARD. TOOK IT TO A SHOP & THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S FAILING I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO TAKE A CHANCE & GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR HAVE MY CAR ROLLAWAY WHEN IT'S PARKED. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY STEERING, TOOK IT TO THE SAME SHOP FOR A LEFT CONTROL ARM & THEY TOLD ME THE REASON FOR THE CRACKING WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL IS THAT I NEED A U JOINT . AGAIN I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THESE ISSUES I HAVE WITH THIS CAR.
