Replying to: holly72 (Jul 12, 2009 1:03 pm) The clunk is the intermediate shaft. Needs lube. Go here to see where. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/gonogo/Copyof1971218.jpg Replies to this message: bvdj84 (Jul 16, 2009 6:17 am) jeffsayers (Jul 16, 2009 8:43 am) bigtimegmowner (Jul 19, 2009 6:08 pm) joyrider29 (Aug 18, 2009 8:10 am)
#114 of 120 Brake squeeks/squeal by bvdj84 Jul 16, 2009 (6:17 am)
Replying to: gonogo (Jul 13, 2009 8:11 am) I am experiencing some brake squeals. I have almost 18k. I am not a hard braker at all. Mostly highway miles. ONLY, though when my brakes are cold and its been sitting. I leave work at about 10pm, so its cool, and the summer humidity might cause it to become worse.   I will slow down when at slower speed, and its squeals fairly loud! Its sorta embarrassing. Once I brake on them a few times, it then quiets down.   However, there is point in braking when there is usually a slight squeak, such as going through a drive though, I hear it. Fairly minimal. I would say that is about 70% of the time.   Is this normal? Could it be that it needs to be cleaned? Obviously, I have a warranty, I really need to address this issue.   Of course when I take it to the dealer it is not going to duplicate this. Only if they keep it over night and then try it. Then it will show.   I am not too worried... but it does seem to get gradually worse.. not by a lot, only when sitting for a long time.   Let me know.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jul 16, 2009 6:17 am) Sounds like it is just a little rust. With this car (rotors) it seems the rust will start forming any time the humidity is above 0%!!!!   As for the embarrasment, you could either very gently (just barely enough to make contact between the pads and rotors)apply the brakes for the first block you drive in the morning (or after any extended delay). Second option would be to build a temperature and humidity controlled garage. Third option, if someone looks at you funny after hearing it, just pick your nose. They will usually go back to their own business when they see that! Replies to this message: bigtimegmowner (Jul 19, 2009 6:08 pm)

Replying to: jeffsayers (Jul 16, 2009 8:43 am) All,   I have a 2007 G6 and am also having problems with the front brake pads and rotors. My question to you all is:   the damage on your rotors and pads, is it all on the inside pad and rotor regardless of the side of the car (driver/passenger). My rotors and pads on the outside of either rotor are in great shape. The inside pads and rotors have a severe goughe on the top of the rotor.
#117 of 120 06 pon. G6 two different size rotors by paris0504 Jul 20, 2009 (6:35 pm)
I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this problem. I have a 06 Pontiac G6 with 35k miles, of course something was wrong with the brakes, needed new pads and both front rotors. Only once they were off it was discovered that I have two different size rotors. In fact I have two completely different brake set-ups on each of my front wheels. I have three uniroyal tires, then a douglas tire on my oddball wheel. I went to pepboys, auto zone and another auto shop and noone has heard of this ever happening. My drivers side wheel is the one that doesn't match the rest of my car, and that's the pad that was worn down to nothing, and the other one fine. My car always pulls the left and the tread on the tires is worn in an unusual pattern too. Very strange, although I know very little about cars, people that do have never come across this. I leased the car with 30 miles on it, and have never had any work done on it, or no accidents, any thoughts would be appreciated.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jul 16, 2009 6:17 am) I just took my 2007 G6 Convertible to the shop for the brakes making noise, and was told the brakes were worn out - at 26,000 miles - and that they are not under warranty - and will cost me $600.00 to get them fixed.    They will fix them or they can have the car back. I take very good care of my car and there is no way the ceramic brakes should be worn out at 26,000 miles.   My car was going the same thing as #114 - so you better get your car in asap.

Replying to: jennyag6 (Jul 08, 2009 10:20 am) Hey Jenny, I'm going to attempt to solve this problem again for the second time this week! I was just wondering after almost two months did this solve your problem?     Amber
#120 of 120 squeaky brakes and warped rotors by nicki3 Nov 29, 2009 (8:56 am)
I developed a squeak in the front brakes with 47K miles. It appeared to come primarily front the front left tire. When the breaks were inspected they had about 1/2 half to 1/4 life remaining. Despite this, I requested the front and rear brake pads to be changed. The rotors had never been turned before. It was recommended that the front and rear rotors be turned also. After two weeks of driving and turning the rotor, I developed a significant vibration when braking and the squeaking returned. I upgraded the brake pads and the rotors had to be turned again. After two weeks of driving, I developed a significant vibration when braking again. I elected to replace the rotors. The vibration has stopped but the breaks continue to squeak. Any ideas??
