My service air bag light is on. My passenger air bag doesn't work. My traction control, ESC, and ABS light come on. My panoramic sunroof wont close. All of these are on the recall list but apparently every car other than mine is bad. When I drive the ESC light will come on and pull me to the next lane. My passenger airbag is a safety concern for my passengers. I was on the freeway and my car went into the other lane and I almost hit a semi with my kids in the car. The car makes a loud whistle noise while driving, the car jerks to the left. The car makes loud noises in the front end like the car is gonna fall apart. Replaced the front end $1000.00 worth of work and still making the noise. Ate my brand new tires up.

The traction control light illuminated as off, causing the car to jerk and slow and be difficult to handle, this was intermittent for 1 week, then the ABS, airbag and check engine lights would randomly come on and off, in any order, one or two at a time, then off then another one off and on. I had a recall done on the bcm issue last december, yet was told this was a separate issue with the oil control celenoid module and very common in these vehicles, which I am now paying to repair. Regarding the head lamps this has been an issue for the past two years, the bulbs would randomly go off and come back on on either side, I would change the bulb and it would happen again. Today I discovered this was a "service bulletin" and am having it repaired. However, since gm recognizes this is a problem and, has made new part for the issue, I feel this should have been a recall. Both of these issues could have compromised my safety at any time, which is why I feel they should be reported.

Electrical, steering, ABS- I've had multiple issues. When I first purchased the car, I heard a thump when turning. No one could find the problem. Now its out of warranty and they found that it was the I shaft. In january of 2010, my anti lock break light came on. I had to replace a wheel bearing- $500 later, I thought I was set. I was wrong, another six months later, the check engine light and another light came on. A local gm dealer replaced the ECM control and cleaned the fuel injectors and sent me on my way, $200 later. An hour later, the lights came back on. My car shook awfully. I had another two hour drive until I got home, because I was on vacation when this happened. I took it to my local dealer and they said that some wires had rubbed together, and needed replaced, $300 later, I was sent on my way. This week, I took my car to get an oil change and the men noticed that my ball joint was going out. My tire literally shook in front of my eyes. Talk about scary... I got my ball joint/control arm fixed, at a steal of $230 because my friends friend owns a shop and gave me a deal. I did get a quote from a local dealer for $420. In the past year, this car has been nothing but a money pit and it only has 55,000 miles on it. I want out! No more pontiacs for me!

I've had my 2007 pontiac g6 in the shop several times for brake "issues". They changed pads, rotors and told me they couldn't stop the squeaking and that the strange "jumping" the brakes seemed to do was "normal" for ABS - which I know is not correct as I have owned many cars with ABS that didn't feel like this. Recently, the traction control light came on, the brakes failed, the emergency brake failed and we hit the back of another car. Gm sent an engineer out to look at the event data recorder; however, would not provide me with a copy of the report (they said it was "proprietary"). They are refusing to fix my car and when I asked why the traction control light came on, their "professional" told me "I don't know - I wasn't there!". I've seen several complaints on edmunds.com about the rotors, over-heating problems and the need to have them replaced with non-gm parts to (hopefully) fix the problem. This is a major safety concern for me and I intend to dispose of the car as soon as possible.

Driving along on a dry road when the car started making dinging sounds. The ABS and ESC dummy lights came on. The radio displayed the following, "ESC service requested". The dealership determined that the sensor harness was rubbing against the front axle, which caused the casing to become compromised and short out. This caused both the ABS braking system and electronic stability control system to fail. The vehicle at the time was only two weeks old and only had 480 miles on it. The dealership had to order a new wire harness and sensor control modules to replace the faulty ones.
