Replying to: bvdj84 (Aug 28, 2009 7:00 am) Anyway, I have an update for those who look here. So far after the re-program of the software that manages the engine transmission and power. It is still running much better. Seems to have more power at start, smoother, and it seems to be getting better mileage too! It just doesn't seem like its bogged down like it was before. It actually seems normal. However, the 1 gear that always shifted rough is still there at times, but not so bad anymore. I am not going to push for it to be fixed. I believe this is totally mechanical. I have seen other GM forums with similar issues. Some how they have to be similarly related. I am not going to worry about it anyway. I am happy for now. However, I am bummed that they dealer never called me after, to see how it was all doing. They probably think I am so annoying customer!

| I have a 2007 G6 convertible 3.9 L. When I put it in gear (drive or reverse) I hear a metal clank, and sometimes when it shifts it also makes a simular noise. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks Bill | |

Replying to: bvdj84 (Sep 07, 2009 6:09 am) I have driven my car for quite a while since getting it re-programmed. It definitely gets better gas mileage. The engine runs more efficient. However, Again, the shifting in the 1 gear is still rough. I think it might be the 2/3 gear. I now consider it to be the actual transmission. It jolts too rough to be normal. LOL, I laugh, because I don't understand how the dealer can't tell that its there now. Perhaps it is now more pronounced then it was. But, it is not intermittent, it is always there. I am not really going to tell the dealer, because I do not want the dealer to keep my car forever. I am at a point where, if it goes out or goes wrong well, they'll have to fix it when it happens. It has come to the point where the issue NEEDS to show itself more so the dealer will really feel it. But, what I do know, is that it is more noticeable than it is in the summer, perhaps because of the colder weather. Also, keep in mind that the car is a lease, so if I trade it in early if I can with minimal issues, then the new owner will have issues. If I tell them about it before trade, than I am screwed on trade. I DO NOT plan to keep it the whole lease. So keep my mouth shut about it, then trade, then tell them later. Sounds bad, but the new owners should know. If the car was not having the issue, I could live with the car, I love the car. But truly want out, I dream of having my Accord, Acura, or VW back. It was a bad move on my part. I could have been driving an 08 Passat Komfort, and to think I turned it down because the interior wasn't really welcoming. I would love to have that car. Whatever you do, don't rush into a deal, even if its a beautiful deal! Yes, the dealer sells, VW, Mercedes, Audi, GM products. Make sure the dealer doesn't sugar coat any deal. It it feels off, then it is. I am thinking next Spring to trade, by then I will be at 2yrs into a 3 year lease, I should be a better point to get out. I might need real experts to help me out. Any advice is welcomed. |
