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.

The paint all over my 06 G6 is peeling and I bought it brand new 1 1/2 years ago. GM had this same issue years ago with their paint. I had a paint analysis run on it and it's the original paint from the manufacture. GM denied my claim because I was over 36,000 mile warranty. The dealership was amazed that GM did not take care of the problem and were upset as well. I will never buy another GM product as long as I live. GM does not stand behind their product and does not care about the consumer.

G6 is a great car

i have had a 07 G6 GT sedan for about 9 months now. it has just under 7000 miles and have never had any problem i got every option except onstar and black chrome wheels because they didn't have it available on the lot. and yes i even have the panoramic roof which is the best thing about the car. it's white on black and looks so sweet. i think it's really a shame that the people of this country still are afraid of american cars. all cars have problems and they are usually the same problems put any car in a search engine and you will find at least a 100 pages of problems. but to me the g6 is a better car then a lot out there. it rides better performs better and has some of the best options. the real american leather not that crap jap leather live you would find in an accord or camry. remote start that also puts the rear defroster on if it's cold. a great stereo system with 6cd in dash(the needed to put in an i pod jack which they have done for 2008),fog lights, try to find that look on alot of the foreign cars, automatic head lamp control with DRL. o ya my boss bought and accord like 2 years ago and she found out that the $25k accord doesn't even tell here when her washer fluid is low/out, not something you want to find out in the dead of winter when you need it, and ya you get what you pay for the grand old rule! thanks pontiac!

Did you reply to brag? No one cares how good your car is and no american car will beat the quality and performance of Euro or Japanese vehicles. Yah you get what you pay for but all I know is I am done with North American cars.
The G6 is a nice ride though, but given all the problems I've had, as well as a lot of other people out there, I won't be purchasing again...I still like most GM vehicles, don't get me wrong, just sick of all the problems.

i have an 06 g6 gtp, paid ~ $26k after taxes 1.5 years ago - April '05. i too have had moon roof / water leakage issues (gm paid with recall), steering rack knocking noise when turning at low speeds (gm paid under warranty), uneven wearing of rotors causing my car to shake like crazy when braking while driving down hill (which cost me $180 cause gm says it was wear and tear after 1 year of use, ha!), both chair tilt levers broke off (gm paid under warranty), and a loose bolt in the back seat making noises when hitting bumps (gm paid under warranty). it is amazing how much time i have spent driving to and from the dealership in the last year!!!!!!!!!!! i will never buy a new pontiac again.

On my G6 my ac unit went out just a few months after my purchase, i have had the sterring geers replaced then 4 months later the steering shaft replaced all under warranty but still. Drivers seat tilt. Sun roof leakage repair. Rotors warped as well say its wear and tear but the dealership says the breaks are in good shape yet.Now the engine is starting to sound a little strange now i'm getting more concerned. What did we get ourselves into.

They robbed you on the rotors. Thats brake pulsation and its covered through warranty- i've had it done twice now. next time they will look a replacement, also covered. Its basically caused by the rotors cooling too fast, like driving for a while or braking a lot and having water splashed onto them, like a big puddle or car wash. It actually warps the rotor and thats why your car shakes/pulsates. That BS about wear & tear. I'd file a complaint. Your rotors won't wear unevenly unless your pads or calipers are messed up - warranty. I've had my g6 gtp coupe for 2 years now. The first pulsation was at 22000km and the second at 44000km, exactly a year apart. I think I should check that steering rack knocking. Is it when you fully crank the wheel? I get just one solid knock.
The chair levers are crap eh? Mine broke twice and now it always comes loose. Thats what you get when you put plastic on metal huh? My door reflectors have both fallen off, but I just "Gooped" them back in. Back seat bolt?? My driver seat frame bolts have come loose causing a wonderful bouncing effect while driving...I'm in the same boat, but all my stuff has been under warranty, I always insist and they're good at doing it. Take your car into a different dealership. If yours isn't, then go to the largest or main Pontiac dealership in your city. thats what I did.
Now I'm patiently waiting for the next problem to arise.....
