2005 pontiac g6 has problems with the brake lights, brake pads, and rotors. *nj the day after purchasing the vehicle, the consumer had to take it back to get an alignment and have the rotors replaced. In june 2008, the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because the brakes were making a noise. The dealer was unable to duplicate the issue. Two weeks later, the front pads had to be replaced because they were worn. The sunroof had to be repaired due to a rattling noise it was making. After the sunroof was repaired, it began to make a different noise. A technician determined a pipe had ruptured. The brake lights were on when the vehicle was in drive. The consumer then received a recall letter in the mail regarding the defective brake lights after already paying for a sensor that didn't resolve the issue.

After 64,000 miles on a 2005 pontiac g6, I started hearing a clunk noise after turning steering wheel and while driving on expressway over 50 MPH, my steering wheel vibrates. It feels as though the steering wheel is loose and something is about to come apart on my car. I went to a mechanic to get new brake pads and he stated that the vibration and steering noise was because my ball joints were bad. I handle this car extremely well and can not understand why ball joints would be bad so soon. He also stated that after trying to find parts, only the dealer sold them and they were a whopping 215.00 for each side of car. My warranty expired and this is going to be an out of pocket cost. It also seems that I have to keep replacing the brakes and rotors often. Additionally my power steering light comes on sporadically making it hard for me to turn the wheel.
I own a 2005 pontiac g6 which I purchased from a dealer after it had been leased for 1 year. The vehicle had 12000 miles on it when purchase. Numerous problems have occurred with this vehicle after purchase. Starting with a noise, clunk in the steering. This has been in the repair shop for upwards to 7-8 times, each time new repairs done on different parts. This problem has never been resolved. Now at 64500 miles the noise is still there after repairs only 4000 miles ago. Starting in october of 2007 I began having problems with the brake lights and cruise control. Brake lights working only sporadically as well as the cruise control. There has been documented repairs on the is of 7-8 times as well. This problem also has never been resolved. On september 17, 2008 my car was involved in a rear-end automobile accident in most part and no doubt due to faulty brake light system. Many other problems have occurred with this vehicle as well including poor sunvisor manufacturing, leaky map lights in overhead console, rapid wear of brake pads and rotors, rapid tire wear, starting drags when starting, occasionally the car will not shift out of park when the car is running and brake pedal is applied.
Recurring issues with the front end and steering on a 2005 pontiac g6. Problem first occurred at 4000 miles within 6 months of purchase. Issues are locking of the steering, drifts and wanders, shoots uncontrollability to the side of road when hitting larger bumps without movement of the steering wheel, 'loose' noises, popping and general sounds like front is going to come out from under it. Started a 4k miles, now has 23k miles with same issues and 6 trips to 3 different dealers. They don't have a clue what the problem is and tell me it's 'normal'. No injuries yet but it's just a matter of time.
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!!!
Electrical steering problems with 2005 pontiac g6. They have replaced my steering twice the second time they replaced the control arms. 10k mile later the car is making the same noise again.
Dash rattle,at about 500 miles began to experience a rattle coming from driver's side of dash when on a rough road,a few mile latter the passenger side began same thing. Vehicles had made numerous trips to dealer, which proceded to replace struts(also very noisey,dealer said is normal)do'nt agree.after calling pontiac about the rattle problem dealer made more of effort to find problem. Although car doe's seem to be fixed(rattle in dash) still have aproblem with noise in struts and loose feeling in front end when both wheels encounter a rough road,again I am told that is normal,I drove a rental-(06 g-6)no noise what so every handled well on rough road!
Dt: ] this vehicle is a new 2005 pontiac g6. While driving at 45 MPH and up with back rear windows down there was pounding vibration, it was assumed to be air that filled the vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, who had no remedy for the problem. Dealer contacted the manufacturer and they did not have a remedy either. Dealer duplicated the problem. Also, tested other pontiac 2005 g6 that had a similar problem, as well as the 2006 model. No repairs were made, but consumer felt this was a safety issue.
