Filed Mar 21, 2016 · Brakes, Electrical · 149,879 miles · NE

This car has been nothing, but a dangerous headache. I was pulling out of my driveway and the brake fell off.. Glad no traffic was coming. Could not stop.. The a week later I am driving and the tire blew. Last weekend driving and lost all power. Not only did we get locked inside the car the serpentine belt was shriveled in pieces. It was horrible. Tell the dealer cause I'm making payments and they act as if the could careless.. The car has never been inspected. I had it looked at and was told the back accel is going to crash in and the electrical is bad it can cause a fire. Scare to drive it.

My problems started with this car before I even got home with my new purchase. I had 2 children in the car and the tire blew off the rim damaging the fender notes from the invoice state that "parts and labor to be billed to 67d 67f, cannot warr tire that has been mounted wrong on 1st repair" then on 6/26/06 paint was refinished due to clear coat peeling on the hood. On 11/06/06 radio does not play cd's and radio was replaced. 3k mile service with motor silk. Also airbag light was staying on and they said they found a wire to sdm loose and repaired wire. Also right rear tire was leaking air. 4/20/2007 engine was knocking loud when first started in morning at that time they replaced the lifters. The engine was replaced shortly after that and again had problems with the air bag light staying, dealership again said it was a sensor but this is only a few of many issues I've been having with this car. Please contact me and we will go through each one or you can contact the dealership where this lemon was purchased and request the records (I have a copy too)....

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6 gt. While driving the vehicle off the dealer lot at approximately 2 MPH, there was an electrical failure with the power windows. In addition, the cell phone charger fuse continued to blow out. The dealer stated that they would make repairs under warranty. There was bubbling in the paint job that was also repaired under warranty. Whenever the vehicle is started, the stereo changes from xm fm to am. The screen for the xm radio is blank, the clock is always behind, and the fuel gauge never works properly. It is difficult to tell exactly how much fuel is in the vehicle. The engine ticks periodically and it sometimes stalls upon starting. The nuts in the door loosen every two weeks and make a loud clunking sound when they are coming loose. There is also something wrong with the power steering. The failure mileage was 20 and current mileage was 18,000. Update 09/10/08 *cw the power steering failed and was replaced, but it still was not right. The drive shaft began to unusual noises. Updated 09/10/08.

While driving home I noticed my car was pulling to the right,and I hear a thumping sound , the front passenger side was flat. It was split at the sides 3 inches from the top of the tire. After taking the tire to the dealer it was determined to be defective since the tire only had 192332 miles in it. My concern is this going to happen to the other tires. Thankfully I was only driving at 30mph, what if I had been going faster and the tire blewout?I forgot to mention that not only was the tire split on the outside but on the inside as well.iwanted the dealer to replace all four tires but they will only replace the defective one. I also called the pontiac customer assistance line and asked them to replace all four tires.they said no I feel unsafe driving on these tires. P216/60r16 uniroyal tiger paw touring (5r)
