STEERING
SINCE I BOUGHT THIS PONTIAC BACK IN 2009, IT HAD A LOUD CLUNKING AND STEERING SOUND IN THE FRONT END WHICH GOT WORSE OVER THE YEARS. I CAN FEEL THE NOISE VIBRATE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. THE GM DEALER SAID, 'IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.' I HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT AND THEY CLAIM IT'S FINE. I DID ONLINE RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY OTHER GM PONTIAC OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHY WON'T GM FIX THIS?

SUSPENSION
AGAIN, I BOUGHT THIS CAR BACK IN 2009 AND THE FRONT END WAS MAKING CLUNKING SOUNDS IN THE FRONT END AT SLOW SPEEDS. ALSO, EVERY SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD SEEMS LIKE I'M DRIVING DOWN A WAR ZONE. I UNDERSTAND THESE ARE LOW PROFILE TIRES AND THE RIDE ISN'T LIKE A CADILLAC, HOWEVER, THE FRONT END ON THESE CARS ARE NOT WELL BUILT. FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE SOUNDS MAKE ME FEEL UNEASY AS IF THE TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FALL OFF FROM ALL THE CLUNKING, POPPING AND OTHER SOUNDS! THIS IS ALSO TRUE IN MANY OTHER GM MODELS, AS WELL. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? OR NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT? WHEN I TRADE THIS IN, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT, THAT'S FOR SURE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY GOING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. SOMETIMES IF I BANG ON THE HEADLIGHT COVER IT WILL POP BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, IN DRIVE, MOVING OR PARKED. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND EVEN ORDERED A REPLACEMENT KIT FROM PONTIAC FOR ONE SIDE. I STILL HAVE THE ISSUES. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER G6'S WITH HEADLIGHTS OUT BEFORE I REALIZED IT WASN'T JUST MY CAR.

STEERING
I WAS GOING THROUGH AN S CURVE ON A LOCAL ROAD DOWN THE STREET AND WHEN I WAS COMING OUT OF THE CURVE THE WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT I HEARD THE CAR CHIME AND I LOST THE STEERING. WAS UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD FAST ENOUGH AND AT THE END OF THE CURVE WAS A PARK PARKING LOT. LUCKILY THE SIDE I HAD TO SWERVE INTO WAS EMPTY AND NO KIDS WERE IN THE AREA ON THE BIKE PATH BECAUSE I ENDED UP GOING INTO THE GRASS. AFTER I GOT THE CAR STOPPED I SHUT IT OFF,TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TURN LEFT TO HEAD BACK HOME BOOM CAR CHIMED AND LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN. LUCKILY THIS TIME I WAS EXPECTING IT AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AS I WAS TURNING AROUND TO HEAD BACK HOME. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE THE CAR BACK THE SHORT MILE BACK TO THE HOUSE THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY STATING THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE RECALLS ON IT BUT ALSO SAID THAT THE REASON IT WENT OUT ( SHORT IN THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE) WAS A RECALL ITEM BUT NOT ON MY YEAR G6. I TOLD THEM THAT WHEN I PULLED THE YEAR ON MY CAR , IT SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AND THEY SAID MINE WAS MADE TOO EARLY IN THE YEAR OR SOMETHING AND HE ALSO SAID ITS A VERY VERY COMMON PART FAILURE. I ASKED WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS BETWEEN MY STEERING MODULE AND THE ONES ON RECALL WERE, AND HE STATED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE PART NUMBER AND IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART. SO FOR $900.00 TO FIX IT I TOLD THEM TO TOW IT BACK TO MY HOUSE UNFIXED AND NOW THE CAR SITS UNUSED BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT IS KNOWINGLY UNSAFE AND FAULTY BY THE MANUFACTURER . THE OUTCOME OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE HAD I BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD. DID I MENTION MY SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AS WELL? I HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE DEALER BUT DONT HAVE A SCANNER.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND STAY ON. THEN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER BEING TOLD THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. I THEN RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS BRAKE ISSUE AND HAD THE BCM AND BPPS AND HARNESS REPLACED (RECALL 13036) AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE (RECALL 14152). IT HAS NOW BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE BPPS AGAIN AND IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST. I FEEL SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OR NOT EVEN AFTER I'M TOLD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, A STRONG ODOR OF GASS FILLS UP MY CAR. IT IS SO STRONG THAT IT GIVES ME A KILLER HEADACHE. I HAVE A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. THE SHOP I TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY A FUEL PUMP LEAKAGE. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX MANY, MANY FUEL PUMP LEAKAGES ON PONTIAC G6S. ALSO, MY TAIL LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING FOR SOME REASON. THEY BOTH STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THE GAS LEAKAGE SEEMS TO LEAK DURRING AND AFTER I DRIVE IT. THE TAIL LIGHTS... I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF WORK WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR AND THE POLICE OFFICER I WORK WITH TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT WORKING. THAT SAME NIGHT I GOT HOME AND LOCKED MY CAR. I WENT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND THEY WERE WORKING FINE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I WAS PULLED OVER AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAD STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT WORK. THE OFFICER ALSO BROUGHT UP THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS SHE PRESENT.I GOT PULLED OVER ON AN INNERCITY ROAD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT ON MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND OFF. ON MORE THAT SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE HAD TO HIT MY HEADLIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I'VE REPLACED BULB AFTER BULB AND COME TO REALIZE THAT THE ISSUE IS THE CONNECTOR. THE FACTORY CONNECTOR HAS 3 WIRES AND THE CONNECTOR THAT SOLD IN MY LOCAL AUTO PART STORE HAS 2 WIRES. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT COULD BE ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GOES OFF.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 2 MINS THEN IT WENT OFF. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON LONGER WHEN I START MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY ANYMORE AS THE CAR IS OVER 80,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO WHAT OTHERS HAVE DISPLAYED, THE COST WOULD BE OVER A 1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX.
