Took my car to dealer for recall 141152--after I waited along time for parts. Recall-13036--completed they claim recall--14116---claims at first--parts not available--oops then later he claims he found some in the back! Recall--14152---completed they claim when we drove the car off the lot it still had shift problem----later found out the transmission pan was leaking, took car and had fluids re-done at jiffy lube. As the days went on the car would not go into gear--it was undriveable in 10 days. Car sits in driveway now and won,t go into any gear. Called pontiac talked to senior advisor who said the same as the dealer----well we only fix recall stuff we do not look or check other things. So I recalled dealer who said " well bring in the car and we can check it out for $80 and if it transmission it will be $3000/4000 extra. So I did the recall items as told--and a car that was running good before I took it in , now is in driveway with power steering problems and won't go into any gear.as both the dealer and pontiac said " well now it becomes the consumer problem not ours-we did the recalls". Well I guess they fixed the safety issues---if you can't drive your car you have no chance of having problems, so your safe! I will file a complaint to other agencies etc. I am disabled and on a fixed income and this being my only car, cannot fix the car at that price!

Transmission feels as though it enter overdrive- brakes feel unresponsive and if responsive only slightly, and continues to accelerate with the transmission stuck. Car will eventually stop when emergency brake is pulled, and then the transmission will not shift out of drive. Steering wheel will become locked as well. After multiple attempts of turning the vehicle off and on, it will eventually unlock the transmission and will allow to be shifted into park. Vehicle is an automatic.

Brake light not working, on all the time. Turn off when braking. Will not shift to drive without flooring the brakes. Cruise control also will not work.

Purchased a 2006 pontiac g6 gtp, I have recently caused many close calls of harming peoples life due to the failure of shifting of my transmission in a fairly new vehicle. The transmission slips and does not go into gear sometimes and when entering the highway everyday is a challenge if I will make it or not. The vehicle decides if it will go or not and I don't believe this 2006 vehicle should be on the road or others to be sold until this ongoing problem across the nation to be solved. It happens at 65,000 miles on all vehicles that have reported this issue.

1. No specific event leading up to the failure, just started out of the blue. 2. Brake lights constantly lit when foot is off the brake pedal, cruise control works on and off, gear shift stuck in park, brake lights will sometimes go off when you hit the brakes 3. Recall for the 2005 model suggested applying dielectric grease to the connector. We did that and it did not work. We replaced the stop lamp switch under dash and recalibrated the bcm at a dealership. Still malfunctioning.

I bought a pontiac 2006 g6 gt 3.5 liter engine has a lots of power for a v6, mileage was 47,000 kilo. First week had to replace one front strut was leaking, also front top plate bearing and steering kit was knocking . Traction control very noisy. Now mileage was about 52,000 k . Still have problem with the manual tap shifting wont shift down to 4th gear , seen the dealer three time now doesn't have the problem every thing was shifting good. Seen the dealer again for the same problem yesterday thank god it did it once while the mechanic did a test drive was with him for the test now been ok for three days. Now 56,123 k they said maybe wont cover on warranty because abuse , if they see sign of coffee or soft drink spills. Why the car has coffee cup holder right there or near the shifter column the electronic component his right there? Crazy don't you think. Hope it with get better. Not the best car for me up to now. With that mileage should be like a new car.

Manual transmission does not go into reverse. The dealership has had three repair attempts to fix the problem and still have not corrected it. Also, the interlocking system, which is only supposed to allow the key to be removed in reverse, lets you take the key out in any drive gear.
