does anyone get little bugs in there dome lights inside the car by the rear view mirror?
 
I've had my cleaned out 2 times in less than a month. You will see a few in the actual lights itself but then when I've had the dealer take the panel down right there they always find it loaded with bugs.
 
Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem.

Funny, but I have been popping the light covers off on a regular basis in my '06 GTP Coupe for exactly the same reason. I had no idea that the headliner is filling with bugs, but it makes sense that if they are falling into the lights they are coming from inside the headliner.
 
Curious, did the dealer have a solution that stops the flow of bugs? Or are we stuck with extra, free 'roof insulation'?

I just noticed them today in my 06 Coupe too...I'm scared to even open it so I think it's just another thing to have the dealer "tune-up."

umm i've taken mine in 2 times to have it cleaned out and i'm taking it in again this week to have them find a solution...but the first time the dealer just told me there is a lot of places that they are coming in at...so he didn't know what to do...i think my next step is contacting gm

I noticed the bugs in my coupe and i never thought about going to the dealer about that...By the way has anyone had problems with the seat adjusters on the seats falling off, or problems with the C-Pillar peeling off of the back window area?

With regards to having problems with your G6, I bought a G6 GTP w/mannual transmission 12/12/05. I have been to the dealer on eight seperate occasions for repairs and the car has be out of service at the dealer for around 30 days with only 7500 miles on it. The sunroof (not panoramic)has leaked twice. The last time it ruined the carpet which had to be replaced. I have lost reverse twice, the last time they had to replace the shifter. The parking brake failed, the recirculating actuator had to be replaced, the the check engine light has come on twice and the last time they had to update the the software on the ECU.
 
The thing that just blows me away is how Pontiac treats this. I spoke to two different Pontiac District Mangers and they both told me that they were just start up problems. One of them told me that he had only seen one other G6 that had the kind of problems mine was having. I asked for a replacment vechicle and he refused. I told him I was considering going to the State to start the lemon law process. He just said it wasn't like I was having major problems like my engine blew up or the transmission broke down and the car left me on the side or the rode so just fill out the paperwork and I could talk to the lawyers.
 
I understand that you can't manufacture thousands of cars without making a few bad ones. I like my car, it's a head turner, the MPG on the road is good (+30 MPG in 6th gear at 1500 RPMs which is 55 MPH) and it handles well which is why I asked for a replacement not a repurchase. What just totally FROSTS me is what I percieve as Pontiac's lack of concern over customer satifaction and the quality of their product. The dealership even called and tried to convice the District Manager into replacing the car. My perception of their attitude is you get what you bought and if it doesn't work that is your tough luck. If you don't like it take us to court. The inconvienance of having to take it to the dealer (on average once a month) so frequently is becoming a burden. They give me a loaner but I still have to make arrangements with work and family, etc. I am rapidly approaching the point where I wish I had not purchased the car. My son has a 95 Eclipse with over 160K miles on it and it has a better repair record than my G6. He now refers the the car as that American Piece of junk. When I end up with the loaner because my car is being repaired at the dealership my neighbors come over and tease me asking if I've bought a new vehicle. This is flat embarrasing!

Wow, that's really not fun at all. While I haven't had any major problems like that with my car (now at 4000 miles), I do think that overall GM quality is on the rise. I was very impressed a couple weeks ago when Lake Orion (the GM factory where G6's are built) called me to ask me about how I liked my car. The person that called me seemed very concerned about the bug problem that I told her about and they sent me all sorts of service coupons in the mail. My dad also purchased a pontiac GTO shortly before mine and has had no problems at all with the car, even at 10000 miles. I'm sorry you haven't had a good experience--some cars just aren't quite perfect I guess. But I think you're right in going to the state, I would too. Good luck with your car!

I've got bugs, water, and interior material issues. I've had my coupe 6 months and I hate it! Water leaks from the headliner onto the front seat and back seat; there is also a leak in the trunk. The interior fit and finish is awful. Previous vehicles have all been German and Japanese, but I wanted to support an American car company this time, and the look of the car captured my interest. I absolutely regret buying this car.

I had to follow-up and reply to my own message. I just called to make an appointment with my dealer. They said I can only come in on Tuesdays because that is when "the leak guy is in". LOL.

So I drove my car down to Miami from Chicago last week (24-hourish drive) fully loaded with all my possessions--yes, they all fit, and that was a huge surprise. The car drove great even with about 600 pounds of stuff in it--still had pep and passing/braking on the highway. Being in the car for 24 hours was also really comfortable with the lumbar support and quiet ride. I won't dread doing it again! Oh, and in regards to my earlier bug problem, I took it to the dealership and they just put some tiny little weatherstripping somewhere on the panel and problem solved, no more bugs as of yet!
