THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BROKEN ON THIS CAR. TO REPAIR THE CAR, IT HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. GM LATER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GM SAFETY RECALL 14152 ISSUED IN JULY 2014, BUT NOTED THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL NOTICE. A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WAS ISSUED BY GM IN SEPTEMBER 2014. I COMPLETED THE CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM FOR THE REPAIRS COMPLETED ON MAY 5, 2014 AND SUBMITTED TO GM ON 10/15/2014. THE TOTAL BILL FOR REPAIRS WAS $451.61. GM HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE TOW BILL OF $158.00. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE WITH THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKEN AND TOWING THE CAR WAS THE ONLY WAS TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GM CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT FORM STATES THAT ALL "REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY COSTS TO CORRECT THE CONDITION DESCRIBED WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR REIMBURSEMENT". I FEEL THE TOW BILL OF $158 IS REASONABLE AND WAS REQUIRED TO REPAIR THIS CAR A FULL TWO MONTHS BEFORE GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE CONDITION AS NOTED IN THEIR RECALL NOTICE 14152. I CAN PROVIDE ALL BILLING DOCUMENTATION I HAVE FOR THE REPAIRS IF NEEDED. GM (VIA THEIR DEALER KINDRED CHEVROLET) PAID $293.61 ON 12/18/2014 USING THEIR CLAIM NUMBER [XXX]. AS I STATED ABOVE, THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE REST OF THE BILL ( $158.00) FOR TOWING THE CAR ON MAY 5, 2014 FOR REPAIRS.

CALLED PONTIAC TALKED TO SENIOR ADVISOR WHO SAID THE SAME AS THE DEALER----WELL WE ONLY FIX RECALL STUFF WE DO NOT LOOK OR CHECK OTHER THINGS. SO I RECALLED DEALER WHO SAID " WELL BRING IN THE CAR AND WE CAN CHECK IT OUT FOR $80 AND IF IT TRANSMISSION IT WILL BE $3000/4000 EXTRA. SO I DID THE RECALL ITEMS AS TOLD--AND A CAR THAT WAS RUNNING GOOD BEFORE I TOOK IT IN , NOW IS IN DRIVEWAY WITH POWER STEERING PROBLEMS AND WON'T GO INTO ANY GEAR.AS BOTH THE DEALER AND PONTIAC SAID " WELL NOW IT BECOMES THE CONSUMER PROBLEM NOT OURS-WE DID THE RECALLS".

RECENTLY IN MAY I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 . ONCE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AS FAR AS THE SPEED SENOR CONTROL, I TOOK ACTIONS AS FAR AS GETTING QUOTES FOR REPAIRS. EVERY TRANSMISSION PLACED THAT I CONTACTED WAS QUOTING A PRICE NO HIGHER THAN 3,000 BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION THAT WAS IN THE CAR. AS THE DAYS AND TIME GOES BY THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO COME WITH THIS MONEY. I CONTACTED THE LIEN HOLDER IN JUNE, STATED THAT I WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR, BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO COME UP THAT TYPE OF MONEY TO REPAIR MY CAR. AS OF 08/01/2014, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM GM STATING THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT WAS GIVING ME. I HAVE SENT A COPY OF THE LETTER TO UNITED AUTO CREDIT THINKING THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THIS IN CONSIDERATION. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE OCCURRED I WOULD HAVE KEPT MY CAR, INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE TIME AND TROUBLE BEING WITHOUT A CAR, AND PAYING ON A CAR THAT I NO LONGER HAVE. SINCE I HAD MY CAR I WAS NEVER LATE ON PAYMENTS. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME AN ON 9 MONTH PROBATION PERIOD WITH MY JOB, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO CALL OFF WORK OR LATE FOR WORK. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, I HAVE KEPT UP THE MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTS TO FOLLOW THAT, UNTIL THE DAY IT WAS RETURNED TO THE LIEN HOLDER. BY, NOT KNOWING THIS RECALL WAS GOING TO OCCUR, THIS HAS COST ME A LOT OF MONEY THAT I HAVE TO PAY BAY TO MY LIEN HOLDER. CONSIDERING THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE LETTER AFTER THE I HAD SENT MY CAR BACK. IT'S UNFAIR TO ME, THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS SITUATION AND I HAVE TO PAY MY LIEN HOLDER 5200.00 BACK, BECAUSE OF THIS. IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION FOR THIS MATTER, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS HANDY. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE RECEIVED 2 SEPARATE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE REGARDING THE POWER STEERING, ONE IN 2012 AND ONE IN JUNE OF 2014. BOTH RECALLS CLAIMED THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED IN JULY OF 2014 (2) MORE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, REGARDING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE, AGAIN STATING THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY FIANCE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IT FRIGHTENED ME TO THING THAT HER TRANSMISSION CABLE COULD GO, SO I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT HOW LONG UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, SINCE I WORRY ABOUT HER SAFETY. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, ONE OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 YEARS, AND TO IGNORE THE RECALL LETTERS, THAT THEY DON'T MEAN MUCH AND THEY ARE "FORCED" TO SEND THEM OUT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO WAIT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE FOR THE PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE, AND NOT TO WORRY UNLESS I RECEIVE MORE LETTERS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY. I HAVE ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT NO LUCK. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS SEVERELY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WHEN I AM AT A STOP AND PUSH THE GAS TO GO THE CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING. USUALLY THE SPEED IS BETWEEN 0-15 MPH. I HAVE STOPPED PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ANY CAR BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ENOUGH SPEED TO GO FAST ENOUGH AND IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT BY A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING SHOWING AS WRONG, I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A DEALER AND AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SUSPECTED AN ISSUE TO BE MODULE OR SOLENOID THAT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO FIX AND THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT IS THE ISSUE. BOTH MECHANICS DROVE THE CAR, COULD FEEL THE ISSUE BUT COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THERE IS AN HORRIBLE ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND NO ONE CAN PIN POINT WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CLUNK, KNOCK OR RATTLE NOISE FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR DRIVING ON CURVES, TURNING, OR GOING OVER BUMPS AT BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT AND HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION/SHAKE WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE VERY VIOLENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CAR AND COMPLETELY DISABLE IT! A CONSTANT LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES OR WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED CAN BE HEARD. A TICKING OR KNOCKING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION AREA MAY SUBSIDE IN HOT TEMPERATURE. PANORAMIC SUNROOF LEAKES A WIND RUSH NOISE.

THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOES NOT ENGAGE/ PUSH AIR ON SETTING 3 BUT WORKS ON 1 2 AND 4. THE FAMOUS "MONSOON" RADIO HAS HORRIBLE SOUNDING SPEAKERS AS IF BLOWN HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT. I HAVE SEEN MORE THAN 1 CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY REPAIRING STEERING, BRAKES, ROTORS, ALIGNMENT, TIRES BALANCED ETC. HOWEVER PROBLEMS ARE STILL OCCURRING IN MY VERY RECENT PURCHASED G6. NOW I SEE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT ACCORDING TO GM WEBSITE MY VIN# IS NOT LISTED AS BEING RECALLED. WELL APPARENTLY IT DOES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT REPAIR AND REIMBURSEMENT SINCE PONTIAC/GM ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND RECALLING CARS WITH "CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS". I HAVE BOUGHT NON-AMERICAN CARS UNTIL NOW WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN STANDARD MAINTENANCE. THIS IS MY FIRST PONTIAC/GM AND SADLY I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF I MADE A MISTAKE BY NOT STAYING WITH NON-AMERICAN MADE CARS. *TR

SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE STEERING AND HER CAR WAS FIXED BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER FOR MY CAR WHICH IS THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY CAR WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND ETC. IT FEELS LIKE A JERKING/PULLING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATE, AS IF IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS... EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE CAR SHOP, IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN THEY ARE TEST DRIVING MY CAR. SO IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE MECHANIC TO PINPOINT WHAT I AM REFERRING TO, WHICH IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND MY POWER STEERING CUT OUT. I ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO A POLE, BUT WAS ABLE TO TUG AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND AVOID THE POLE. I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO REST THE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS OCCURRED COUNTLESS TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AT LEAST 20 TO 30 TIMES. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND TROUBLES STARTED IMMEDIATELY. FIRST THING WAS WHEN YOU WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD MAKE A POPPING NOISE, WELL RETURNED IT A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A CAP , THAT USE TO BE METAL BUT ARE NOW PLASTIC WEARS OUT , NOTHING DANGEROUS BUT ANNOYING. WELL THAT WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE SOME KIND OF A ROD WAS REPLACED. THEN IT ALWAYS SMELLED OF ANTI FREEZE. AND WOULD LOSE IT, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAK. WELL AFTER HAVING IT IN HAVING 2 RADIATORS PUT IN IT, IT STILL DID LOSE FLUID. UNTIL RECENTLY I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE A LADY LEFT HER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND RAN OFF AND LEFT IT IN THE MIDDLE LANES COMING OFF OF A BRIDGE A MAN SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND I HIT THE SIDE OF HIS BUMPER , AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND I GOT A NEW FRONT END AND A NEW RADIATOR AGAIN. STILL LEAKED FLUID. MY HUSBAND AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE LEAK AND BOUGHT A PART AND FIXED IT HIMSELF. PRETTY GOOD AFTER 3 RADIATORS AND ALL THE TECHS WORKING ON IT OVER THE 6 YRS, HE HAD TO FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP RIGHT AFTER I GOT IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU WOULD TAKE OFF, IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT SKIPPED A GEAR. BUT IF I SHIFTED W/THE STANDARD SHIFT IT WOULDN'T DO IT. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION TRAY AND ALL WAS FINE. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING, THEY STILL SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. BUT TO THIS DAY ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK IT WILL STILL SKIP WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD THE MOTOR ON THE CONVERTIBLE REPLACED RIGHT AFTER I GOT IT. THE STEREO WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE CHAIR ARM RELEASE, THAT ALLOWS YOU TO LET THE SEAT UP FOR SOMEONE TO GET IN THE BACK CAME OFF, THEY PUT ANOTHER ONE ON AND NO ADHESIVE IT STRIPPED OUT AGAIN. REFUSED TO FIX IT. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK FROM ALL THE REPAIRS IT HAS HAD,WILL LIST IN ANOTHERPOST. *TR

ALSO, THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL AWAY AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

MY PONTIAC G6 WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNS AND ALWAYS WELL MAINTAINED TO DATE. I PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN DRIVE IT WOULD ONLY REV. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN TRIP TRONIC SHIFT AND MAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. IT WAS SLIPPING ALSO IN TRIP TRONIC IN FIRST AND SECOND. THE REPAIR PLACES SAID THAT IT WAS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN WELL A REBUILT ONE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 6 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AT GM HEADQUARTERS AND THEY JUST DON'T CARE AND ACT LIKE ITS MY FAULT THERE BANKRUPT PONTIAC COMPANY PRODUCED UNWORTHY RELIABLE CARS. AND DIXIE GM WHERE I TOOK IT TO GET FIXED WANTS TO RIP ME OFF AND CHARGED ME DOUBLE OF WHAT OTHER TRANSMISSION PLACES IN THE AREA QUOTED ME. I TOOK IT THERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE HONEST AND GIVE UPFRONT ANSWER AND NOT JACK ME AROUND BECAUSE IM A YOUNG WOMEN. ITS NOT AS IF I WENT TO MCDONALDS AND ASKED FOR A STEAK.

I HAVE HAD A THUMPING IN THE CAR WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THERE COULD BE OTHER DEFECTIVE PARTS ONCE THEY GET INTO IT. AT PRESENT I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND AM SAVING UP TO GET THE $800 REPAIR STARTED. I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO RECALL THE G6'S FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE A FAULTY STEERING SYSTEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BUT IT IS THE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION I HAVE, SO AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO CHOICE. ALSO, I HAVE HAD OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR EVERY YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT 3 YEARS AGO. THE FIRST YEAR WAS A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION, THE SECOND WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND NOW THIS YEAR THE THERMOSTAT AND SENSOR AND THIS STEERING PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE IT WAS NEW. I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE INTERVALS, INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND FILLED AT A GM DEALER. RANDOMLY, WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE THE LIGHT TO NOTIFY ME THAT TRACTION CONTROL ISN'T ON COMES ON AND MY TRANSMISSION WILL JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. THEN SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY GO OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AS NORMAL. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE, HOWEVER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN UNHOOKING THE BATTERY OR PULLING THE FUSE UNDER THE HOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE THEN REPLACING IT AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WILL TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT BY A GM DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. GM HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE BUT GM WANTS OVER $1000 TO REPLACE FAULTY EQUIPMENT (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) THAT THEY MADE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK SEVERAL TIMES, AND I AM AFRAID THAT EVENTUALLY IT WILL. *TR

ON THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING, KNOWN AS BLACK FRIDAY MY GRANDDAUGHTER AN I GOT INTO MY 2006 PONTIAC G6, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING HAD LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. GM SENT ME A NOTICE IN THE MAIL 4 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. THE LETTER STATED THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM DO NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, FOUR MONTHS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS AND SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND 10 MINUTES LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE FOUND OVER 100 CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE US. GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT TOOK NO ACTION TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I FEEL THAT IT IS TIME THAT NHTSA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *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

2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 STALLING WHILE IN DRIVE AND PARK. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS AND HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR IN PARK, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY TURN OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. THE BRAKE AND STEERING WILL ALSO LOCK UP. UPON TURNING THE CAR OFF AND PLACING IT IN PARK IT WILL RESTART, I HAVE PLACED THE CAR IN THE SHOP TWO TIMES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. LAST TIME (MAY 18) WAS TO TAPE ENGINE WIRES AND CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTOR, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD FIX IT. THIS REPAIR COST ME $500. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED, HAPPENING THREE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE DAYS. I HAVE CONTACTED PONTIAC NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. BOTH MY GM DEALER AND I HAVE USED A CODE READER TO SEE IF THE CAR IS THROWING OUT A CODE WHEN IT STALLS BUT NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. MY CAR HAS QUICKLY BECOME A LIABILITY TO MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME, AS THE LAST TIME I STALLED I ALMOST DRIFTED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION.

FINALLY WENT TO AMMACO TO GET A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RACK AND PINION STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT WHICH CAUSED DEFICIENT WHEEL ALIGNMENTS, WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS TO PREMATURELY WEAR OUT, WHICH CAUSED MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. ALSO MY FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE IMPACTED AS WELL. THE MECHANICS WERE SURPRISED THAT I OR MY FAMILY WASN'T DEAD SINCE TECHNICALLY I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR BY WAY OF STEERING. I AM OUT CLOSE TO $2000.00 BECAUSE THIS WAS FOUND OUT AFTER THE WARRANTY LAPSE (OF COURSE). THANKS GM. *TR

FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AT 31,222 MILES ON A 06 PONTIAC G6 PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER 2005. I FIRST NOTICED SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT THE END OF JUNE 2009. THE CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO GET INTO GEAR AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING UP A HILL; THIS WAS NOTICEABLE DURING FREEWAY DRIVING. IT WOULD ALSO MAKE A THUMP NOISE WHEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE FROM 0 DURING STOP-AND-GO FREEWAY TRAFFIC AFTER PROLONGED DRIVING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON EVENTUALLY. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT ON 7/7/09. THE MECHANIC TRIED REPLACING TWO OF THE COMPUTER SENSORS PRIOR TO THAT, BUT IT DID NOT IMPROVE THE CAR'S SHIFTING. THE CAR'S WARRANTY WAS 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. BECAUSE 3 YEARS HAD PASSED, THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL BELOW 36,000 MILES. I FIND THAT IT IS EXTREMELY UNFAIR TO HAVE TO PAY $1,800 FOR A TRANSMISSION ON SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND ESPECIALLY AFTER REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TR

WE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER A 2ND TIME ON 04/23/2007 BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND THE CAR DIDN'T KICK INTO THE PASSING GEAR AT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND WHEN IT DID THE CAR DROPPED DOWN TO 20 MILES AN HOUR AND JERKED AND FINALLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT WENT BACK TO A NORMAL SPEED BUT STILL WOULD ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE ON ITS OWN. TOOK IT TO THE DEAL WHO FINALLY GOT IT TO DO AS WE DESCRIBED BUT NOT HAS BAD, ON THE NEXT DAY THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO WE WERE TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US SINCE IT WASN'T FLASHING ANY CODES TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE IT FEELS AS IF THE POWER OF THE CAR IS DROPPING WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND I AM AFRAID TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL NOT GO AND THEY WILL BE INJURED. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER KNOWING THAT IT HAD AN ISSUE TURNED AROUND AND TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT CODES TELLING THEM THERE WAS A PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY DROVE THE CAR AND REALIZED THAT THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT HAD A BLOCKAGE THAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS STALLING OR THE POWER WAS DROPPING.
