Filed Mar 2, 2019 · Body · 126,000 miles · OH

There is drain tubing connected to the sunroof that comes unconnected because its too short and leaks/pours water all over the passenger front and back side of the vehicle. It happens whether youre driving it or its sitting still. Water just pours in and soaks everything on passenger side.

Both sides of the panoramic sun roof has come unattached and leaked in my floor on multiple occasions and is very distracting getting dripped on and will eventually cause a wreck. Worst car ever!!!!! Also the brakes are terrible. I've done so much work myself to my brakes and had shops do some too because I cannot afford to replace the [xxx] through a shop ever 6 mo. My passenger side rotor locked up for no reason 2 diff. Shops couldn't find a reason. The bleeding process is ridiculous and the brakes do not last more than 4-6 mo tops no matter how you brake on them.

2005 pontiac g6 - water pours from the interior lights splashing the inside of the car and driver which is as unexpected as a child running in front of a vehicle. The sudden downpour may cause the driver to loose control of the vehicle when they look up to see where the water is coming from.. Nobody was injured in my incident however, the water is coming from the drain tubes from the top of the car which have a tendancy to become disconnected. I am told this is not considered a safety hazard but a driver does not expect to be suddenly soaked by water when driving a car and can cause the driver to become reckless which may cause damage or injury to a vehicle or a person if it has not already. This is a common problem and needs to seriously considered as a safety hazard. Other than the safety hazard that it is, it also causes the interior of the car to be completely destroyed from mold and/or mildew needing complete replacement. The dealers are very much aware of the problem but yet I have taken my car in twice and because it wasn't leaking at the time, the could not see a problem. Mind you the back floorboard and seat were completely soaked from 8 gallons of water which had been sucked out of the car prior to driving it to the dealership.

Both the driver & rear passenger have water damage due to a faulty mfgd sunroof. It leaks when it rains and when I contacted gm they said that they cannot cover the diagnostic charge for the vehicle inspection.

The seal on my panoramic roof leaked during a torrential downpour. I did not drive the car for a few days because of having surgery. 2 days after the rain storm when I opened my car I found an inch of water covering the floor and mold covering most of the interior. Mold was also located inside the air conditioning system when turned on. The heated seats were ruined as were any electrical devices inside the car. All personal items and infant seat were also ruined. I am still waiting to hear what is going to be done. They are trying to convince me it can be cleaned, but with the amount of mold and my existing asthma it is a detriment to my health to be inside the vehicle. I also have an infant which cannot come into the vehicle at all because of said mold. I still don't know after contacting gm if they will fix the problem or if I need to scrap the car. This is the second problem I have had, however the first involved the brake rotors grinding too quickly and causing the car to shake violently when braking at any speed. I have had to have the brakes done at least every 3 months to correct the problem for the past 2 and a half years.

I took a lease over of a 2005 g6 less than a year ago. I have had nothing but problems with it from the very beginning. A lot of times it doesn't start just sputters repeatedly. Took it in to get it checked out of course they say they can't find anything wrong. Right after we got the car we had to have the brakes replaced and also there was a clunking noise. Had to have both right and left front struts replaced. Clunking noise still had not gone away, everytime I take it in I complain of the clunking and eachtime they say it is due to something else that needs to be replaced. Have had a pulsation problem when brakes applied. Power steering went on it quite a few times, had it replaced and has done it since. The rearview mirror snapped right off when being adjusted. Visor cover snapped off. Door lock knob snapped off. Most of the work we have had done was covered by warranty. The warranty is now up and the right ball bearing now needs to be replaced which is why I hear clunking is what I was told. How come it is always something different causing the clunking noise? Is going to cost around $500 to fix. What a piece of junk. We will never buy another north american made piece of jun again!!!

I own a 2005 pontiac g-6 with about 60,000 miles . Bought the car used and have only put about 10,000 miles on it. It has a panoramic sunroof that was working fine for about 6 months and all of a sudden gets stuck . My first panel is open.. Wants to work but looks out of line with the other panels. Took it to the dealership and they say that it is "coming apart" and they have to replace it . I don't have an ext warranty so im quoted $1,400 to replace the whole thing. Went to another place they say that same thing, I have to replace it. I am about to get this thing fixed for about $ 800 or so for a used one. Just recently I spent $700.00 replacing my steering column due to power steering failure. I have had the car for less than 1 yr and I have had problem after problem with it ! I hate this car and plan on trading it in soon....
