SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT
I HAVE PURCHASED BOTH BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS EVERY 8-10 MONTHS. I USUALLY TRY TO GO LONGER BECAUSE IT GETS TO BE EXPENSIVE. IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. IT STARTS WITH A PULSATION OR "BUMPING" WHEN I BRAKE, EVEN GENTLY, USUALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE OLD PADS, THEY WERE HARDLY WORN DOWN. ONCE I TRIED RESURFACING THE ROTORS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP; I HAD TO BUY NEW ONES ONLY TO FIND THAT THESE TOO SOON WORE DOWN AND WARPED. I HAVEN'T FOUND A REMEDY. MANY OTHERS IN AUTO FORUMS AND ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS, SUGGESTING THAT IT IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

I'M A OWNER OF A 06 G6 IN MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING SO MANY FRONT END PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN OUT OF SO MUCH MONEY. RECENTLY WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK THE POWER STEERING FAIL. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO TURN BUT I PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED MY CAR. SEVERAL TIME IN ONE DAY I HAD TO RESTART IT. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH "SPECIAL COVERAGE" NOT A RECALL. MY CAR IS OVER THE MILEAGE SO IM NOT ABLE TO GET IT FIX.

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE WILL NOT REGISTER THAT THE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHT ON THE DASH TO CONSTANTLY BE ON AND THE BEEPING SOUND TO CONTINUE. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED TO REGISTER IT IS LOCKED INTO PLACE FOR SAFETY. I AM HAVING IT REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE FOR MY SAFETY AND YES THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. *TR

MY CURRENT PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE RECALL FOR THE 2009 PONTIAC G6. TODAY (12-8-10) I HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO ROLL. THE WIRING SYSTEM DID NOT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE PARK OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I LATER TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL. 4 MONTHS AGO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING IN PARK. THREE OTHER TIMES I HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE/FOOT PEDDLES. I WOULD HAVE TO BREAK TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL UNTIL IT REACHED 30MPH. IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DRIVE IN TRACTION CONTROL AND READ DECREASED ENGINE POWER ON THE PANEL. IN ADDITION, I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A FOUNTAIN OF WATER POURING INTO MY CAR SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF ON EITHER SIDE OF PANELS BTWN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS, RESULTING IN SEVERE INTERIOR DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT MOLD SPORES GROWING. INSTEAD OF THE FILTER SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF FILTERING WATER OUT, IT IS FILTERING WATER IN. *TR

STRUCTURE, STEERING, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL
STEERING IS POPPING AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP. CALLED DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. CALLED GM THEY TOOK NOTE. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A YR THEY REPOSITIONED AND LUBED THE I-SHAFT. NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AREA THERE IS A POPPING NOISE WHEN ITS COLD. THAT ALSO WAS LOOKED AT 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. IT STILL MAKES THE NOISE. ACTUALLY ITS GETTING LOUDER. I WAS TOLD BY GM TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I HAVE UNDER 50,000 WITH NO WARRANTY. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED. AND HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT SOMETHING THEY SAY DOESN'T EXIST. THE POPPING IN THE STEERING AND LEFT FRONT IS STILL OCCURRING EVERY DAY BUT IS WORSE WHEN ITS COLD. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I DRIVE A 2009 PONTIAC G6/GT SEDAN, I HAVE REPLACE THE LOW BEAMS BULBS FOR EACH LIGHT 6 TIMES. NOW NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, BUT THE BULBS ONLY LAST ABOUT A MONTH. THE RETAILERS SUGGEST THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I ALSO DECIDED TO TRY DIFFERENT RETAILERS AND BRAND NAME BULBS. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHEN YOUR LIGHT GO OUT. *TR
