I have noticed several car manufactures going to the driver side only door lock. My 07 G6 is the same way, hence is the reason I want to spend $500 for dealer installed keyless and remote start. Other than that, I love my G6. I put a K&N airfilter in it and noticed a big difference in acceleration and that is on the 2.4 4 cylinder.

I believe Lexus started this trend. They also removed the trunk lock and others are doing the same.

Hey HERO and all others, your steering problems hits close to home with me. I thought I was on my own. I hear this thumping noise also in the same situations. I have a 2005 G6, 63k miles and it recently started that noise about 55k miles. I've been told it's the rack and pinion to the bearings going out....I don't know. After hearing what all of you are going through, I don't think I'll be buying that GTO as I'd planned. I think I'll be going away from Pontiac, hell maybe it's best to say "NO" to GMAC. Sorry for all the issues, but happy to see there's a place to vent to others.

Piece of Crap by aggie09

I got my 2005 Pontiac G6 for graduation about 2 and a half years ago and loved it. Then came the problems... I've had the steering column replaced because the power steering went out. There's apparently some kind of drain from the sunroof that drains down the side of the car and out the bottom (I guess) that decided to break off into my car and thus flooded and molded my passenger side. The CD player ate one of my CD's so I had a new one put in that works soooo slow. I used the remote start one morning and the starter kept going for a good 15 seconds. This has happened several times but not to that extent and not just with the remote starter. So they replaced the starter. Not even three weeks later, my car wouldn't start. Both of my keyless entry things don't work anymore (the first one after not even a year of having the car). Piece of crap? Yep! Don't get one!

I have an 06 G6 and I LOVE the car but I have way to many problems out of it! I have not even had my car for a whole year and it seems like anything that can go wrong will! First I had something go wrong with my steering and then it was my breaks. Then there was a clicking noise from under the hood so we had that replaced and now I don't know what is wrong...When I try to accelerate the gears are not shifting right, the RPM was stuck on the 5 and wouldn't come down. I am not sure what the deal is with my car.....it seems like mine has had all of the problems I have read about so far! IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG PLEASE FELL FREE TO FILL ME IN!

test drove 05 g6 sedan with clunking in steering wheel by edoh

My fiancee and I have been looking for a g6 with the 3.5 v6. we could not afford an 08 so we found a few 05's. we setteled on one for $12,700 with only 30,000 miles on it. We test drove on thursday and wanted to pick it up on monday because we were waiting to sell her 1995 lumina and use the cash for a down payment. The salesman called twice after leaving the dealership. He offered to let us take delivery that night (thursday) and temporarily charge the down payment on credit. We really wanted to wait until monday to think it over. I am glad we waited, after reading all the complaints about the steering issues.
 
 We went to pick up the car, but didn't sign without a long test drive. I immediately noticed the loose clunking feeling in the steering. It was so audible that my fiancee noticed it from the passenger seat. I had the saleman sit in the car and try the wheel. He said they all do that and we could go talk to the service manager and he would say the same thing. I then tried an 08, and surprise, that one felt nice and tight without any noise. We refused to take the car until the steering was fixed.
 
Thanks to everyone for saving me alot of grief!

steering clunk by blue47

2005 G6 GT with 70K miles. no problems to date except having to replace battery at about 50,000 miles and tires at 25,000 miles. had the steering clunk and took it to dealer i trust. they said would need new steering gear. i used an eye irrigator filled with lithium grease to force grease down the splines at the base of the steering column (easy to reach while on your knees outside the car). clunk has gone away for 10,000 miles so far. btw, replaced the original continentals with potenzas, and have twice the mileage so far with still lots of tread left.

I'm having a very similar issue. I tried starting with the remote start, didn't work. Then I got into the car, the alarm seemed to be going off but very erratically, and then car would just click when I turned the key and now when I try to start it its not even clicking anymore..
I put a battery charger on it and it says its fine.
I think the security system has a problem??
