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.

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!

I have a oil pressure light that has come on at start up and stayed on for several min.then went off for a moment,and came back on for several more min.This has happened once before.The first time was at about 24500 miles,the second time was at about 28500.On both occasions the temp was (200-210).Could this be a bad sensor?

had 20,738 miles on my G6....heard and felt clunk in steering...returned to dealer,
they found excessive rust build up on I-SHAFT. Replaced I-SHAFT. Also they had to machine front brake rotors
 
At 23,886 miles
had steering issues, they calibrated steering system POS SENSOR & torqued sensor. And replaced stereo, the clock went back to 12 & fluttered.
And found coolant in pipe o-ring leaking, they replaced o-ring.
 
At 24,360 miles
had left front hub replaced
These are just a few of my problems with this car.
I have also had the starter running problem..there is a bulletin but they do NOT want to fix it...I feel it is a problem in ALL G6, I ask anyone with a G6 and they say the same.
I love the design,room,look of the car...BUT IT IS A LEMON....I TELL EVERYONE. IF PONTIAC IS NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THE CAR....I WILL TRADE IN FOR A IMPORT...GLADLY AT THIS POINT...I hope Pontiac is listening, this is why noone wants American made cars.

Unfortunately for you, GM already has your money, and if your experience is anything like mine has been with GM over the years, it will appear to you that they don't care what you think about GM (and it may be more than just "appear"). In a real sense, I feel sorry for GM dealers, because they probably feel abandoned by GM as well.
 
It makes me wonder exactly what is going on with GM management. For example, the new Malibu...no NAV system, no bluetooth offerings. Yet, this car is competing with Accord, Altima, Camry, and several other models. Some may argue that these are un-needed options. Maybe, maybe not. In any case, I would like to know how a company the size of GM got so far behind the competition in areas like this.
 
You can only blame so much on the UAW and economy...I just don't understand how a company that once was the industry leader in innovation has become the "johnny-come-lately" in features and functionality. It just makes no sense to me.
 
And, this is coming from a once avid GM Chevrolet/Pontiac fanatic.

GM is going downhill by howardpm

I'm pretty annoyed with GM myself, purchased an 08 G6 Convertible, 3 days later they were offering an extra $1000 off. I sent a very nice letter to GM saying as a long time GM customer (owning 5 gm cars) in 6 years I think a gesture of good will would be to either, give me that $1000 back, extend my warranty, give me a GM smart care plan, or another option of their choice.
 
Well their first option was completely ignore the letter (I had sent out 5 copies to random execs). Then I sent it out again this time I get a call from the executive office and this lady pretty much tells me to bad. (sounded like she was reading a form letter).

Don't blame you for being a bit P-Oed about that issue, but I would think the dealer would be at least partially at-fault on this one. You know that the dealers must have prior knowledge about rebate plans, as they can't just open the doors the date the rebate begins and have everything fully implemented to accomodate it. In fact, if my experience with dealers is anywhere related to the norm, many dealers wouldn't know about the rebate for 2 weeks after it was implemented, IF prior knowledge wasn't provided.
 
Just my thoughts on this, right or wrong...
