#17 of 29 Re: Tires and steering column [sensational] by skimike Oct 18, 2007 (6:38 pm)
Replying to: sensational (Sep 29, 2007 8:57 pm) I logged on today to see how prevalent the stearing column issue is. I thought it was just part of the car. Another G6 owner stopped me in the parking garage this morning to see if my stearing column made the popping sound. She also indicated most every G6 owner she talked to has the same problem. Does anyone know if this is dangerous? Replies to this message: ozzy63 (Nov 03, 2007 1:56 am) lnc (Nov 19, 2009 4:50 am) gonogo (Nov 19, 2009 8:08 am)

Replying to: skimike (Oct 18, 2007 6:38 pm) GM has a service bulletin on this. The first course of action is to re-align and tighten intermediate steering shaft but that will only last for about 4 months. The next thing is for replacement of the rack and pinion assembly which will be done under warranty if you caught it on time or if you have extended warranty plan. My advice is have the dealer replace the rack and pinion the first time. I just went through this on our 05 G6 GT. The only other problem I've had was the drivers seat was "creaking" when my 200 lbs drove the car. Had dealer replace the seat frame and this was fixed.

Replying to: sensational (Sep 29, 2007 8:57 pm) OMG! I can not believe what I am seeing. I have been trying to find out what is wrong with my 2006 G6 GT for a year now. The dealers kept telling me there was nothing and I needed to change my tire which I did after 40000miles at $125ea. I continue to hear this grinding sound (not a lot) like metal on metal rubbing breifly. But I also hear this sound as I drive like a gear shift not changing but it is not the gear. I guess I would describe it as a roaring sound as I drive from the right drivers side. Is that from the rack and pinnon? Is that a manufactors defect like the visors? My warranty has expired!

Replying to: lwoodard (Aug 30, 2007 3:28 pm) Until this past Monday, I thought my '06 G6 was the only one with a problem. While getting my oil changed, another owner came in to the waiting room and asked who had the G6. When I spoke up she asked how many times my steering column had been replaced. I had my steering gear replaced in January 07 and the shaft replaced in July. She was on her 3rd assembly. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Replying to: lwoodard (Aug 30, 2007 3:28 pm) I've had my 2007 G6 for 13 months and i have to replace the tires after only 13,800 miles! I'm really upset and disappointed because the after-market tires i bought the car with are not covered in the warranty. The dealer wants me to shell out $250 for each tire. **sigh** Replies to this message: bxgirlnsc (Jan 03, 2008 6:07 am)

Replying to: iran10 (Jan 02, 2008 9:30 pm) $250 is high! WoW! I bought new Michellin tire for $125ea. Look around at your local tire places and maybe not at the dealer.
#23 of 29 Factory Tire Complaints by neon_blue_g6 Jan 23, 2008 (6:10 am)
Just wanting to let everyone know, about 3 months ago, my car was wearing the standard tires (Uniroyal Tigerpaw) and i was travelling along I-10 while wet and when i tapped the brake, my car pivoted on the two front wheels and did a complete 360. Seeing that there are many posts regarding complaints of the tires, i will let yall know that i purchased a set of Falken performance tires, specifically the Falken Ziex ZE-329, and they are WONDERFUL. No more tire squeal while taking turns at anything less 45 mph.

Well, I bought new tires as well for my g6 at 18,000 miles. I replace them with michelin mx4 all sesonal. expensive but a great tire and tread. I feel the same as everyone else, I should have not of paid for new tires and breaks.
#25 of 29 chrome plating by bvdj84 Jun 25, 2008 (6:20 am)
Hello!    I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that would chrome plate plastic. I have 08 G6 that has plastic wheel covers, but they look like real rims, and have the spokes, and they are not the ones on the base model G6. I want them chromed. I have seen similar rims chromed, so where would I need to go. how much $$?

Replying to: ozzy63 (Nov 03, 2007 1:56 am) I also just had to have my intermediate drive shaft replaced. AND also have a terribly squeaky seat. I've haven't told the dealer about the seat because I thought they would just laugh at me. It only really squeaks when I drive, it is quiet when my husband drives because he puts more weight down on the seat. So if they even test drive, they won't hear it. Was replacing the seat frame covered under warranty?? Please let me know. I've only had my car for two years and the squeak is really irritating me!!! Thanks!!!
