2005 Pontiac G6 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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!!!

Too many complaints to write them all up, here are a few: engine makes metal grinding "whooshing" noise independent from acceleration-dealer cannot replicate, warped rotors-dealer wanted over $1,000 to fix, have had radio replaced 5 times due to disc errors-dealer keeps replacing, had steering rack and water pump replaced at 30,000 miles-dealer covered, sensor that turns on lights went-dealer replaced, power steering problems, hard to turn and rough, but no "lock-ups" like others have had(thankfully)-dealer cannot replicate, had drivers side front panel sunroof drain clog, water soaked front carpet(3 inches of water)-dealer fixed but left me with a moldy carpet!, engine flutters/stutters to a start on random-dealer has no answer for me, trunk lid was scraping rear bumper due to latches being tightened wrong-dealer fixed, headlamp full of condensation-dealer fixed, car ridiculously bad in the rain and snow, stability control makes loud grinding noises and causes the car to buck, replaced tires with snow tires, still bad-dealer has no answer for me, large deep scratch across windshield right in the line of view from contour oem windshield wipers, dealer said too bad. Those are just a few, I cant remember them all, this car is such a lemon. Im sticking with toyota from now on! I learned my lesson!
Car is 3 months old and front windshield has chipped and cracked significantly in several spots at the first contact with any degree of impact(small stones, slow speeds, high speeds, etc). I noticed about 8 little chips all over the glass, inside and out within the first month. Now, there is a huge slit in between the panel of the glass and the entire windshield now needs replacing. There is definitely something wrong with the quality of the glass that was put in this vehicle. I owned a used 1997 chrysler cirrus for 6 years prior to buying this g6 3 months ago, and I have never experienced even one chip in the windshield and it was driven under the same conditions for the entire life of the car.
My 2005 pontiac g6's driver's side sun visor had an electrical short which caused smoke to come from the headliner area. The dealership has had my vehicle since then and have been waiting for a part to come in. The dealer suspects that this is not an isolated incident due to them not being able to find a replacement part. I suspect that this incident could have started a serious fire.
