When I look at my 2007 G6 Convertible from the rear, it looks like the driver-side tire sticks out about 3 inches farther from the body than the passenger side tire. Maybe the body is twisted a bit? I read that some of the hardtop convertibles need to be aligned to stops squeeks and noise, and I also read there is some adjustment that twists the body slightly so the top fits better. I have had to 2 dealers and they both said they adjusted the rear wheels - but nothing has changed. I have NEVER has them do anything to the top - it makes almost zero noise. Anyone have this issue?

had an accident today with G6 HTC Interesting secquence of events you should be aware of. First, a cabbie turned right in front of me from left lane--hit the Crown Vic in right frint fender. My front end is pretty well gone--axle broken. Airbags deployed but feable--like a ballon--was able to watch accident over the top of bag. It did not even hit my chest. But the force of the accident threw rear end parts off the car and jammed the trunk area, where I had my suitcase and briefcase, with laptops (actualy on airport grounds about to catch a plane) Absolutely no way to open back area. Called 2 dealers and they had no answer--so the fire dept had to cut the trunk open. The car obviously wil be a total loss. But I was disappointed in the airbag deployment and the trunk jamming up. I probably will not get another G6.

Replying to: hal56 (Apr 24, 2008 7:02 pm) For a severe frontal impact, you would have experienced a full deployment. If the front of your G6 hit a wall or something like a big tree that didnt move or deform, the threshold level for reduced deployment is arounf 12 to 16 mph, The threshold level for a full deployment is about 18 to 24 mph . If you hit say a parked car, the threshold level would have activated. Bottom line is that a full deployment is a very unpleasant thing for an occupant. These bags on full deploy are like a shotgun going off in the closed interior, and real bad if you are asthmatic. The G6 is a inexpensive design, but the convertible crashes well in the barrier test. Its easy to find things to critize about GM vehiicles, ( I know I worked as an engineer in GM;s tech center for 14 years) but they are very safely designed vehicles...this I will stake my life on because thats all I drive and dont even work for them anymore

Replying to: billdaman (Apr 25, 2008 1:56 pm) i know every eventuality cannot be covered--but I was thinking about it. BTW--anybody know the cost to fix an airbag--I am trying to figure out if they will try to fix the car or total it--one major problem is the top and trunk areas are not out of alignmnet and could not move open at all. with all the roof problems reported here, if they try ot fix it it will never be right. |

Replying to: busiris (Apr 24, 2008 7:09 pm) also--I had the fire department and policy dept and the chicago aviation safety officers out there--nobody knew the car was a hardtop convertible.
