2008 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

HUSBAND AND I WERE NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP. IN RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP ASSOCIATED WITH PONTIAC G6'S FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY WE HAVE SMELLED GAS OFF AND ON SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT WHEN EXAMINED BY MECHANIC, NOTHING WAS FOUND. IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE AIR TEX FUEL PUMP USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE 2008 G6'S, THEN WHY WAS THERE NO RECALL ISSUED. I THINK THIS IS A FLAGRANT DISREGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND NEGLIGENCE. *JS

IN 2013, MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR A RECALL THAT INCLUDED THE GEAR SELECTOR CABLE FOR MY PONTIAC G6. THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT IN ORDER TO REPLACE FAULTY GEAR SELECTOR CABLES THAT COULD BREAK AND FAIL TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT GEAR POSITION. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE VEHICLE BEING PLACED IN NEUTRAL WHEN THE SELECTOR SAID PARK. MY CAR UNDERWENT THE REQUIRED REPAIRS AND THEN, 14 MONTHS LATER, EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. LUCKILY, I WAS ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM, SO I WAS ABLE TO APPLY A TEMPORARY FIX TO MY CAR IN ORDER TO KEEP IT DRIVEABLE. HOWEVER, UPON CONTACTING GM, THEY REFUSED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR SINCE THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED AND THE PART WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT ALTHOUGH GM DID A RECALL, THE REPAIR THAT THEY REQUIRED THEIR DEALERS TO PERFORM DID NOT ADDRESS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND CAUSED THE STEERING TO LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WHITE BEAR LAKE SUPERSTORE (612-276-2922, LOCATED AT 3900 HWY 61 N, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN 55110) WHERE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR MODULE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR LATER.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

ON DEC. 30TH AFTER AN OIL CHANGE THE WARNING SYSTEM ON THE DASH HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON AND CENTER CONSOLE SAID THE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDED SERVICE. THIS HOWEVER WENT AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN AT HOME AND NEVER CAME BACK TILL TODAY JAN. 8TH, 2015 WHEN THERE WAS A PASSENGER BUT AGAIN WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF AFTER A 5.9 MILE TRIP, THE DASH INDICATOR READ PASSENGER SYSTEM WAS NOT ENGAGED DURING SAID TRIP. THE STARTING MILEAGE ON THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS 129033.3 AND THE FIRST WAS APPROXIMATELY 410 MILES PRIOR. I CAN PROVIDE THIS NUMBER IF NEEDED AS IT WAS RECORDED FOR THE OIL CHANGE. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO TWO OTHER RECALLS ONE IS 13036 THE OTHER 14152, AND WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING STARTED I WAS ALREADY AWAITING SERVICE ON THESE. AS I RECALL THE REPORTS RECENTLY IN THE NEWS RELATED TO FAILINGS IN THE PASSENGER SYSTEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE TIED TO THAT SIDE AS IT DID NOT ENGAGE AS I READ IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM SHORTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN PROVIDED WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

AFTER GETTING THE RECALL PART REPLACED (STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR) I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, MY LIGHT CAME ON IN THE RADIO DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO RIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME I NEED MY POWER STEERING MODULE REPLACED WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY 500+ TO REPLACE IT. I FEEL GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PART AS IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE STEERING ASIST, WHICH THEY KNOW HAS PROBLEMS. I CALLED AROUND TO AUTO STORES AND YOU CAN NOT BUY THE PART AND DO IT YOURSELF - YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT. GM SHOULD PUT THIS PART ON THE RECALL BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY IS DOING THE SAME THING THEY RECALLED THE TORQUE SENSOR ON. PLEASE HELP!!!

I OWN A 4 DOOR SEDAN G6 WITH POWER DOOR LOCKS - THE LEFT REAR POWER DOOR LOCK HAS QUIT CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REACH ACROSS THE SEAT TO LOCK / UNLOCK THE DOOR = NOT IDEAL IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MY INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS CLICKING AND GRINDING INSIDE THE COLUMN AND THE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS CONTINUES TO MELT CAUSING THE HEADLIGHT TO GO DIM = ALL OF THESE SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARDS NEED RECALL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING, A POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE RADIO DASH. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES, INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING DRIVER TO USE A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. IN SEEKING REPAIR AT GM DEALER, WAS TOLD MY CAR NOT ONE COVERED BY STEERING RECALL, THOUGH MY PROBLEM BEARS A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO THOSE OF THE COVERED VEHICLES. *TR

INSISTED IT WAS LIKE THAT ALREADY NOT ONLY WAS MY STEERING MESSED UP MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AT TIMES IM NOT ABLE TO GO OVER 15 MPH, OR THE ENGINE WILL SEND A READ OUT ON THE RADIO THAT STATES " ENGINE REDUCING POWER", THEN THE TRACTION WILL STATE (ON THE RADIO) THAT THE TRACTION HAS TURNED OFF AND THE LIGHT COMES ON, ALSO THE POWERSTEERING NOTIFICATION APPEARS ON THE RADIO AND THE CAR IS NOT ABEL TO BE STEERED. THE ENGINE WILL NO ALLOW ME TO GIVE THE CAR GAS TO ACCELERATE, AND THE ENGINE WILL JERK, THE RPMS WILL GO UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF I CALLED THE PONTIAC NUMBER FOR HELP THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECAL OPEN FOR MY CAR AND THEY THEY WERE NOT ABEL TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME VERY RUDELY. *JS

CAR IS A 2008 PONTIAC G6 GXP - THE CAR IS CALLED CYBIL DUE TO IT'S ISSUES GOING ON ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 128 MILES ON IT. LATEST ACTIVITY IS THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE RADIO SCREEN SCROLLING LOW ENGINE POWER AND SERVICE ESC. IF YOU TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER IT WOULD SEEM TO RUN RIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND 3 CYCLES LATER GO OFF. ONCE OFF IT WOULD STALL AND LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WOULD GO OFF AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOR 10 DAYS IN A ROW AND ON THE 10TH DAY THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY ON BUSY MAIN ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR. MANAGED TO GET THE CAR STARTED, MOVED OFF THE ROAD, AND TOWED TO A CERTIFIED DEALER. DEALER TOOK 3 HOURS ($360) TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR DUE TO GENERIC CODE OF P0651 SHOWING UP. AT TIME DEALER MOVED THE CAR INTO THEIR FACILITY ALL THE WARNINGS AND LIGHTS HAD ALREADY RESET AND DIDN'T PRESENT THEMSELVES. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED HISTORY CODES FOR THE BRAKE PEDDLE SENSOR (WHICH HAS GONE OFF BEFORE AND WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE THE RECALL NOTICE AND OTHER $$ SPENT FIGURING OUT WHY TAIL LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF AT THEIR OWN WILL) OTHER WAS CAM SHAFT SENSOR (WHICH I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON) AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR WHICH I SEE NO COMPLAINTS ON. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR FOR THE 2.2 AND 2.4, BUT NOT THE HIGH FEATURE L7Y - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF GM KNOWS THE SENSORS ARE SHIFTING AND PUSHING INTO SOMETHING THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX. I AM LUCKY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ONE OF THESE STALLING ISSUES HAPPENED. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER WAITING ON PARTS TO ARRIVE TO THE TUNE OF $700 - NO CHRISTMAS THANKS TO GM. THE BRAKE PEDDLE SENSOR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE TAIL LIGHTS AND IT IS NOT. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAM SENSOR ISSUE AND MAKE THEM EXTEND THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL TO INCLUDE THE PEDDLE SENSOR! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HAS MELTED. A YEAR OR SO AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE HARNESS MELTED AND NOW, THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS MELTED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, IF PARTS ARE BEING MELTED. I HAVE DONE AN INTERNET SEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
