clunking noise by renatel

I have a 2006 G6 V6 sedan,with 29,400.I got it in April of 2007 used, but for the last few months I notice a ca-lunk! when I turn left real slow or from a dead stop.The road surface is usually good asphalt(no dirt roads) so that hasn't been an issue.I can feel the clunkunderneath me but more towards the front.I have an appointment at my nearest dealer on Wed.,and I will let everyone know what happens.

i have a 2007 value model and it has around 13000 miles on it. it has been a good car so far, then yesterday the entire gauge cluster just shut down the needles werent working, the center console said low fuel and i have a full tank. i looked for a blown fuse, nothing then after i tore my dashboard apart to look for a bad alarm install, which is a whole nother story, i found nothing then it worked when i started the car next time. i guess it's not my alarm thats causing the problem.

Rebates are rebates, and with any product, they CHANGE at will. They're meant simply to encourage more to buy then and there, signing on the dotted line more agreeably. They change. You buy one day and something extra is possible the next day--happens all the time. What it comes down to is you got the car you wanted at a price you were obviously happy with when you did so.
 
So expecting corporate or even the dealer (who can't do a single thing in such a case, as any specific rebates or bonuses through GM are out of their hands, and every last discount, bonus, and rebate is closely audited), to then offer you extra cash that was decided on being offered after your transaction is out of focus. Do some stores and websites offer price matches if you buy something that then goes on sale a day or two later? Yes. But that's not how it works in the world of cars that cost thousands, and where things must be dated, registered, taxed, etc.
 
Just drive your car and enjoy. To say "GM is going downhill" because you couldn't get EXTRA cash off the car you bought, offered after you did so, is uncalled for. It's this act of being more concerned with the deal and every last coupon, rather than the cars and their merits that hurts overall image more than anything.

I agree that it isn't a GM issue. However, I do think that the dealer could be a bit at fault, as they had to know about the rebates.
 
You can make an argument either way as to what the dealer should have done, and since we weren't there when the deal was done, its impossible to say what, if anything, should have been done differently or in addition....

How would the dealer know? They are not told until the incentives are announced. There are all kinds of models with different rates of incentives depending on so manyother factors. The dealers should do not know and it would be in GM's best interest to not let them know until it is available. If a dealer knew ahead of timethey would tell the customers to come back in two days and then there would be no sales for those days.
 
Sometimes they get hints thru their own dealer networks but they are only rumors.

Personally, I find it incredibly difficult to believe the dealer doesn't get at least a few days notice of new incentives. Just doesn't make business sense.
 
Since I am not a dealer, I can't say for sure. But, in response to...
 
If a dealer knew ahead of timethey would tell the customers to come back in two days and then there would be no sales for those days
 
I have never, ever seen a car dealership that was willing to take any chance on losing a sale by telling someone to come back in a couple of days, even if they know that an auto that better fits the customer's needs/desires will be available.
 
Than AIN'T gonna happen! Business is way too competetive...

Hi,
We have the same problem with our G6 - the clunking noise in the steering. Had the entire steering box replaced $500+ and the next month it was back. Several months ago had it greased and it dissappeared. Now it is back. Any comments???^

I took mine to the dealer on April 16th.They put a new steering shaft in it,but they said the clunking was normal because it has electronic steering and no power steering pump.
 
I traded the car in for a 2008 Pontiac Vibe that day.
