Replying to: am2006 (Jul 25, 2006 2:24 pm) 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?

Replying to: gilley1 (Jun 14, 2006 3:54 pm) 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!

Replying to: silverg6 (Aug 11, 2006 8:12 pm) 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!

Replying to: am2006 (Jul 25, 2006 2:24 pm) 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.

Replying to: jen16 (Aug 28, 2006 7:31 am) 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.
#86 of 146 First Long Trip by hillsg6 Aug 28, 2006 (9:29 am)
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!
#87 of 146 G6 new owner question by saabski Aug 31, 2006 (6:54 am)
Hello all, my friend just purchased a G6 GT coupe with manual shift auto. He has about 1000 miles on his car, and he has been experiencing slight rough idle at stops since reaching 1000 miles. Is this because car is getting broken in? Also, how often are you supposed to change the oil in G6 GT coupe? Manual tells you to hold on until oil service light comes on...but shouldn't he change oil every 3000 miles instead? Also, isn't the manual auto supposed to upshift for you when you are approaching redline even in manual mode?   Any comments/suggestion would be appreciated.

Replying to: saabski (Aug 31, 2006 6:54 am) Engine is calibrated accordingly. % oil life adjusts based on driving conditions and style. Changing the oil every 3K is not necessary. Most new cars are ~5 K miles unless you have a high-performance vehicle. I owned a BMW for 7 years; the oil only needed changing every 15 K miles and I never had a problem. As far as the idle, I have intermittent issues. I have 14K miles on mine, so I doubt it's a 'breaking-in' issues as you propose. Tell your friend good luck, and if you want to buy a used one (6 mos old) let me know!!
#89 of 146 Pontiac G6 panaramic sunroof- JUNK by jebar Sep 08, 2006 (5:22 pm)
2006 G6 GTP Sedan w/panaramic sunroof - It started with a funny creeking noise- the air leaks and water leaks. After 10 visits to the dealer Ponitac tells me the air and water leaks are normal for this roof. The funny part is I can see day light through the seams in the glass panels. Hey GM do you think water will come in the seams if I can see out from the inside. They tell me my next option is lemaon law and file a complaint with the BBB. DO NOT BU TEH PANARAMIS SUNROOF - this thing is junk....... Replies to this message: joane (Oct 01, 2006 11:41 am)

Replying to: saabski (Aug 31, 2006 6:54 am) I hate to the the bearer of bad news. That idle problem you mentioned is only going to get worse if its anything like mine. I started complaining about that after having the car for about 3 months and its just gotten worse ever since. Also the car has started trying to choke down when you crank it up along with the starter staying engaged to long. I have had numerous amounts of problems with this car. I pray for your friend. Oh, yeah don't wait until the car tells you to change the oil, you will have blown your motor up by then. Apparently the designers of this car was smoking a little something if you know what i mean. Hope that helps a little. Not what you wanted to hear I'm sure.
