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!

| Anybody had a problem with them hanging down off the folding panels themsevles? Mine just did? | |
| When my brake light went out and needed replaced, the dealership told me that there can be no contact with the bulb with your hands - have to wear rubber gloves. The oils from our fingers will cause it to short out at and have to be replaced again. Never heard of that before, but did as they said. Just a tidbit of information. | |

Replying to: selmasmith (Jul 31, 2008 6:44 pm) I have an 07 G6 that I bought Labor Day weekend 2006. I love the car, have not had any problems (knock on wood) - but recently started feeling a 'thud' when turning at slow speeds...and it is probably the same thing as the 'clunk' you are describing. I need to take it in to get it checked - especially since I have some traveling to do in the next month - but thought I would try to search online to find out what it might be and if anyone else had experienced this....which I now have. Times are tight - not that this is an excuse to postpone taking it in - but was the work they did to try correct the problem covered under the warrenty? |

Replying to: ecdeb (Aug 23, 2008 8:46 am) How many miles do you have on your 07? My car has almost 29K (so far so good). You don't see many 07 complaints here so I am just curious. Thanks!
