Replying to: mygxp (Dec 18, 2007 11:40 am) 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.

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.

Replying to: sferrell615 (Jan 02, 2008 5:58 pm) 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.....
#137 of 146 Pontiac G6 GT Problems by g6gtowner Mar 16, 2008 (6:44 am)
My panoramic roof started making noises within a month after I bought the car. I have had it worked on twice. It still makes noise but not as bad as in the beginning. I hardly open it. Last week I wanted just the very first panel open and placed the dial on "1". The first, second and last panels opened. I turned the dial to close the top and start over again but it would not close. The 3 panels just kept opening and closing. Finally it closed after several attempts, now it will not open. You can hear it trying to open but it will not. This is extremeley frustrating for me. I do not open it enough for anything to be worn out on it. So, now it is useless. I have wrote to GM yesterday and reported the problem and if they do not take care of it I am going to take their reply to my written complaint to my lawyer. I also have a squeaking sound in the front end that I hear when going slowly over rough roads. You have to really listen, but it is there. There are times when my steering rack pops. I had to have the compressor replaced within 9 months of purchase. There is a problem with the rotors. I am 45 years old and this is the first new car I have ever owned. I waited all these years to make a purchase such as this and to have a car with so many issues is very disappointing. I also have the Monsoon stereo system and do not even turn it up very loud and already 2 of the speakers are bad. I will have to have them replaced. When I pay good money for something I expect quality workmanship. It is a shame.

Replying to: g6gtowner (Mar 16, 2008 6:44 am) I too have noise from my panoramic sunroof. I noticed my immediately and have taken back to the dealership several times. The noise is so loud it is impossible for me to use my cell phone. I loved the car and bought it because of the sunroof. Now, I am embarrassed for anyone to drive in my car. I leased the car for three years and the lease doesn't expire until April 2010. I am trying to find a way to get out of my lease. You said you wrote to GM. What address did you use? Good luck with your car. Replies to this message: nlang79 (Mar 23, 2008 10:40 am)

Replying to: nooesangel (Mar 22, 2008 5:45 pm) Are you in Canada or the states? I am in Calgary and we used to have a G6 GTP with the pano sunroof. It rattled a lot, especially in the winter, but had no major problems with it. In my Coupe, it rattled a while ago, but I had them service it and tighten some stuff up in the track & works fine now. But if you want out of your lease, and are in Canada, check out Lease Busters. They can get someone to take over your lease for you. We got rid of our 4dr G6 in 3 days of listing it. It cost around $250 to sign up, then they do most of the work for you. I'm sure they have something similar in the States too. Good luck!
#140 of 146 G6 GT Problems (CV Axle and Transmission) by joe4prez Apr 24, 2008 (8:49 am)
I've had my '06 G6 in the shop 5 times in the past years since I purchased it 1 year used. Yesterday, with 19K mi, I added another major problem to the list. Turns out the cv axle came out from the transmission. Today the dealership is going to look deeper into the problem. Best case scenario is that they can put it back together with a couple of parts. Worst case, I get the transmission rebuilt. Add this to the list of squeaks and rattles, new struts, squeaky brakes, and loose thudding steering. I hope I get it back this weekend b/c I already have appointments set up to purchase another Honda which the G6 replaced in the first place. Replies to this message: busiris (Apr 24, 2008 7:06 pm)

Replying to: joe4prez (Apr 24, 2008 8:49 am) What was the mileage when you purchased this vehicle?   Was it from a dealer or an individual?   Man, it sounds like this car had some really rough treatment before you got into it. Is there any question about warranty coverage?   I know...lots of questions....   Good luck on your repairs!
