I had this problem with my 2008 G6. I did some research and found that there is a feature that runs the HVAC blower for a couple of minutes after the a/c has been running and the vehicle has been turned off. The feature called "Afterblow" is available from the factory, but must be enabled at the dealer. I had it enabled in May and have not experienced the musty smell since.

howardpm,
 
I had this problem with my 2008 G6. I did some research and found that there is a feature that runs the HVAC blower for a couple of minutes after the a/c has been running and the vehicle has then been turned off. The feature is called "Afterblow". It was installed at the factory as inactive and must be enabled at the dealer. I had it enabled on my 2008 G6 in May (cost $50) and have not experienced the musty smell since. GM had issued Technical Service Bulletin #99-01-39-004B that lists enabling Afterblow as a solution to the musty odor complaints. I hope this helps.

I would also recommend contacting your local dealer again for more assistance. If you are having problems finding resolution, I would recommend contacting Christina by email. She should be able to look into this further. Thank you in advance.

2008 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible w/3.5L
Occaisionally, after driving the car with the AC on, and working, you make a stop for 10-15 minutes, and when you start the car, the AC will not come on for quite a while. It seems to be more prevalent on hotter days, 85+.
Dealer has checked it out twice and cannot find the problem.
I do know that when there is no AC, the compressor is not engaging.

I'm sorry to hear about this elusive problem with your G6's air conditioning. Has your dealership ever been able to duplicate the situation you're describing, or is the event too intermittent to be predictable?
 
Best,

It was replicated during one service call, however, the repair performed (system pressure check) did not correct the issue. The last time we had it in, the weather cooled off and the failure could not be duplicated. It is going in for service on 7/18. The temperature is forecast to be in the mid 90s, so that should help.

Sorry to hear that you have the same issues, carlos42! Hopefully msikor01 will update us on what her dealership found. Were you planning on getting this looked into or not yet?
