Way to many problems! by katrina122788

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??

I totally agree! I have had my G6 for a little over 2 years. It currently has 32,000. I have had to have brakes, rotors, and the steering column replaced. I have an appointment to take it in again, Monday, because I believe the steering column is going out again (familiar popping noise). They are telling me to purchase the extended warranty to protect myself from future expenses since my warranty will expire soon. Why should I have to buy the extended warranty? I should not be having this many problems with a brand new car! I was told that women tend use the breaks more...that's why I am having brake issues. What?? Piece of crap!!

Does anyone know if you can get the Base Model G6; with the 2.4 4cyl engine, with any other axle ratio than the 3.91.(Standerd with that model) I am not having much luck trying to pull that info out the Pontiac.com main site.

You have to get 2ZG69 to be able to get the PDX sport package which includes the 3.05 axle. This may be what you consider the base model. The 2ZG69 is the one that starts at $20,400.
 
The "value leader" starts at $18,875 which does not have the sports package available.

2007 Pontiac G6 by nooesangel

I leased my car in April 07 for three years. I selected this car because of the panormanic sunroof. I immediately noticed air noise coming from the sunroof and have taken it back to the dealership several times. They tell me nothing can be done about the noise. It has gotten worse and now I am embarrassed to have anyone drive in my car with me. I hate getting in my car myself everyday. Does anyone else have this problem and can anything be done. I want out of my lease and I will never purchase another Pontiac.

give you 3 guesses what issues i have. Steering makes a "clunk" sound sometimes when i make turns.I am having issues with my remote start continuing to crank for 9-15 seconds,this also happens with the key but not that often.On one occasion my dashboard turn signals did not come on, don't know if the outside signals worked.Told dealership about starter issue and they told me they would fix only if it failed to start.Well I have 28450 miles on a 30000 mile warranty. So tough luck for me.AS for the steering problem they said some noise is normal! After reading all These other peoples problems, It does seem a "normal" problem.Other than that,the car runs great!
