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.

My power steering light had been coming on intermittently for the past few days. Yesterday while leaving a parking garage the power steering light came on. I continued driving and as I went to turn the wheel, the power steering went out while making a left turn (5-8mph). I nearly ran into a pillar in the parking garage. I turned the car off and back on and the problem went away, but the power steering light stayed illuminated. After searching the internet for some time, I came across hundreds of similar problems. A few of the same problems occurred while people where driving on the interstate which could have been deadly if someone would have been going around a turn or just switching lanes. I just don't understand why there hasn't been a recall to fix this problem. The car industry want us to stick behind american made products but are unwilling to fix potentially deadly problems until the inevitable occurs and someone losses their life because of a problem they know about. Maybe that's why many are buying quality made foreign made products. Over the five years I had the car I have had numerous problems this car has been a money pit. The hood latch broke, the power window motor went. The rotors have to be replaced more often than I change the oil ( that's ridiculous), the bearings went bad, the six disc factory cd player stops working and sticks constantly, the blower for the heater and AC only works on high, the panoramic sunroof leaks which has caused water to accumulate in the trunk and now their is a mildew smell ect.........

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.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the rear window defroster was activated prior to turning off the engine. When she returned to the vehicle, the rear glass shattered without force. The heating element from the defroster caused the glass to shatter. In addition, whenever the defroster and radio were activated simultaneously, the radio would short circuit and cause intermittent static. The defroster was not clearing the condensation from the rear glass surface sufficiently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle has not been repaired. The contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 72,464.
