Replying to: busiris (Jul 11, 2008 5:47 pm) But, on the other hand, the G6 offer so many options that can be compared to the $30k Passat I test drove. It has the same type of features, and the G6 might have a few more options. I have the fully loaded G6, except for the V6. I am quite impressed. OnStar- Is wonderful, I just bought the 3 month Unlimited turn my turn navigation, and it is awesome! I found out that if I am on a trip and need a hotel, they will call a hotel for me and reserve a room for me!! How cool!! Also, if I am looking for a place, need a business phone number, that is crazy! That alone, makes it very nice. But, There are a few things I wished they had done though, *Make the dash lighted at all times! (the circle tach, sped could also be gone, with a black and lit up display like the Accords. More Updated) This area has a glare on it, and looks pretty dark during the day, If it were back lit all the time, it would look a world better during the day. Move the information center in the radio to the center, between the Tach, Sped. 5 speed Transmission with 5pd shiftronic 4cyl. They also need to work on the 4cyl, transmission, to get it more refined, though I only have 3,500 miles on mine, but it is not as refined as the 06 Accord I drove, but I am still quite impressed on how powerful the engine is. Other than those few quirks, I am very impressed with the car. So many features, great bang for the buck. For me, will I be back to Honda, Acura, or VW... Probably. I am a Honda guy though. Though if someone offered me to trade for their G8, I would do it in a heart beat. The G8, is where the next design concept needs to come from when making pontiacs! So far so good! The G6 must be doing really well, since it has a 9.0 review rating, and even the Accord only has a 8.7 rating. For those who want to know, the Saturn Aura makes Chome wheel covers, and they will fit the G6 with 17' wheel covers. They are about $340 for the whole set! They look great!! Nothing like a wheel cover! |

Replying to: seppi1 (Jul 24, 2008 6:21 pm) However, they said the steering column was cracked and needed replaced and ... the "gear Assembly" or something like that also had to be replaced (it is on the rod that connects the 2 front tires. It is much less, but, I can still feel it at unexpected times, always when turning left. I complained at the dealer again. They 'tightened' things up in the front end. I don't hear/feel the problem for the moment. However, it always comes back. |

Replying to: ckillian (Jul 06, 2008 8:14 am) They put on a new steering wheel shaft + replaced the gear assembly. The intensity of problem died down. But, the noise re-appears suddenly for no reason when turning left. (Usually after I slow down to a near stop and then step on gas while turning left. It sounds so mysterious. But, it really worries me. Especially since I talked to a man who had a G6. He had a lawyer suing GM because of steering problems. My car starts up ok. Although I had to have it towed once, when it would not start because of a blown fuse. 2006 G6 Standard

I am taking my 08 G6 on its first road trip tomorrow! I will be traveling about 14hours to Florida, this will put about 2,400 miles on it. This will really give me an even better impression, so far the engine is continuing to break in, and get smoother. Having only 4,000 miles on it, it was pretty rough when I got it new. But, seems to be going through the gearing better. I have my Onstar, XM all activated and ready to go, so I will let you know what I think when I return. I am still questioning though, whether GM can even measure up to other brands, like Honda.I am not liking what I am hearing about the G6. |

| I have an '05 G6 with about 32,000 miles. I took the car in to get an inspection and came across some problems. I was first told that the car had to get the inner tire rod replaced which after an alignment would cost about $300. Later I found out that the steering gear needs to be replaced for about $600 (which includes a new inner tire rod). The mechanic told me that it is unusual to replace the steering gear in a car with such few miles. The car is under the 36,000 miles for the factory warrenty but I bought the car over three years ago so the warrenty has expired. Has another owner of a G6 had a similar problem? I am wondering if it is a problem with the manufacturing of the car and a few years down the road I will receive a letter from GM about replacing the part. | |

I bought my Pontiac g6 GTP coupe in April 2005. Its been to the dealership for many issues. I had the rotors turned at 24k and then at 35k they had to replace the front ones at the same time they replaced the front brake pads. Before the rotor problem i had front end noises and they replaced a tierod that they felt was a little loose. they also put pading on the firewall behind the steering tubes because that was causing a noise. the front end noise did not go away and then they replaced the right end strut. i also had them repair the side handles on the seats because they kept falling off. I had put in a complaint to gm and were very curtious and pd for the replacement of the rotors. everything else so far was under warranty. what happens is gm keeps cutting cost on their suppliers and in turn put cheaper parts on cars but we as consumers pay higher prices for junk. they dont make cars like they used to. i have always been a gm fan but im sorry to say my next car may be foreign  ! oh and by the way, i currently have 41k mi and my break lights are messed up, when i brake they go off and when i let off the brake they go on, so, back to the dealership- they know me well there!
