another new problem by flyshy1

The latest defect on my 06 G6 GTP 6 speed... I left on a trip to Lafayette Ind. last Thursday evening. stopped on I-90 for fuel a bite to eat. Came out to hit the highway and
pushed in the clutch and turned the key.... nothing, no starter, had power,lights, radio but no starter... tried a couple more times.. finally bump started it.. ran all the way to Lafayette ~ 9 more hrs.. never turned it off. check engine light also came on... ran close to 75 whole trip.. 29.8 MPG not bad.. car started okay all weekend and returned east with no problems. Went into the shop today to replace the stering intermediate shaft and (i assume) another machine job on the pulsating rotors again... dealer just called to say the senor on the clutch pedal is bad (reason for the check engine light~ that went out on the way home) so they found the reason... bad news is there is no pedals available anywhere.. just like the alternator which went south and took a week to get replacement... so now I get to play russian roulette everytime I have to start the car.. will the senor allow the car to start or not??? Dealer's not sure how long for replacement to appear.
let's count... 6 speed shifter defective, no reverse, no getting the key out.. fixed in 3 days, alternator 7 days for replacement, clutch pedal sensor..... how long...stay tuned...

Not sure if you've had a response yet, they should work, check to make sure that there is enough room for the brake assembly. I was goingto put on snow tires but decided not to. The stock tires worked fine... I'm in Calgary so we get pretty messed up weather.

Hey jrs6 it sounds like you are definitely qualified for the lemon law on this car. I too have had problems with my G6 GTP but they are small issues that my dealer has been working hard to repair. It appears now that after the servie manager came to my house this morning at 6am to see what I was talking about that he could not duplicate it is a computer problem. I am taking into dealer on Monday getting another rental at their cost and it will be there until it is fixed to my satisfaction. They have one more try after this one and then it is will lemon law filing time. I WILL NOT PAY FOR A LEMON!!
GOOD LUCK

Is it true that Pontiac has done away with the GTP 3.6L coupe? All I see on Edmunds is the GT with the 3.5L engine.
The 3.6L had 252hp which put it in contention with Eclipse (263hp), Altima coupe (270hp) and Accord coupe (268hp for 2008).
 
If this is true, why did they do this?

Finally - Good Pontiac Service by jtomaszewski

After all the issues with dealers and pontiac themselves blowing me off (e.g. sorry, that's too new, i don't know how to fix that problem or it's your own fault) one customer service person actually got some results. I had bugs dropping in from my sunroof deflector into my roof liner and then filling up and then dropping in the cabin. No One listened to me, i had reported this before my warranty ran out, but to no avail. Jason actually worked with different departments at pontiac to find a solution (an after market wind deflector) and had pontiac pay for it.
this is only a solution to one of my many problems, but at least i've found one good dealership and one awesome customer service rep!
 
best of luck to all pontiac g6 owners.

wet seatbelts and backseat by uncbelle

just wanted to throw my 2 cents in since it seems like others have had similar problems. i first noticed the wet seatbelts after 2 days of heavy rain. then, a few days later my car smelled gross and now i know why! my husband and i pulled apart my backseat and the foam padding and actual foam on the bottom of the seats were soaking wet! we literally wrung out the padding. i have heard people complaining of wet seatbelts - anyone had the backseat wet? have an appt w/ the dealership in 2 days - will bring my recall notice about the sunroof - this seems to fix the problem in most cases, but i was worried since my backseat was so wet - floor, front seats, and trunk were completely dry. i have only had my car for 8 months, but since it appears others have had this problem, i am not as worried.

24,500 miles. Sunroof fixed-no more leaks. No more electrical problems so far. Clunking noise in the steering. Dealer just replaced the steering rack this week. No brake or rotor problems. Gas mileage still great.

I have a 2006 G6 right after I got it the AC went out got the condenser replaced, then the steering was making a popping noise in June took it in it was the steering gears that had to be replaced now in Nov the popping noise returned took it in again it was the steering shaft that went out. I have had problems since the beginning with warped rotors that they won't help with. Also got the sunroof fixed. Anything else?

I just happened to stumble upon this site as I was looking for information on changing my cars oil on my own. I must say... after reading this thread.. I'm a little frightened about what's to come. I recently just bought a 2006 G6 GTP 6 speed stick.. and haven't had any problems yet.. and I WAS estatic. i think i got a great deal (I got it for under 20K, fully loaded.). I've had it for about 6 months now (already put 12K on it). All in all.. not a single problem. As for the seat belt issues everyone is talking about... where can I get the recall information on that? My cars parked in the garage at night... and I don't recall noticing any wetness (at least not on the driver side). But I want to get it taken car of.. before it gets the point of some of these horror stories. And I'm also guessing that you all will recommend that I hurry and purchase the additional GM warranty (I currently only have the 3yr/36K). Any help would be appreciated.
