While driving on highway at 60 MPH on highway right line almost at my exit . The GPS fell from the window and must of hit the area of the shift column it didn't come out of drive though. The car shut off. I was able to move over to the shoulder push the flashes and emergency break when the brakes did not work just a large nose steering didn't work well. Bringing it to the dealership and have them check the steering column out again. This is the 2nd time the car shut off while driving I feel this is a part of the original recall in 2015 that listed this make, model and year pontiac g6 2007 massachusetts route 2 west leominster. Ma. Restarted the car, got to my destination, and drove home that night lower speeds.

I have attempted to speak to the dealer I purchased this car from and have been unsuccessful. I have an engine oil leak, gas leak, and I am not able to turn my wheel left or right as something is and has been going on with my powersteering. I have paid for repairs but have been pushed off and given the run around about all that I have said. My car is and has been unsafe to drive and now I do not know what to do as it has gotten terribly worse. I have been advised that all recalls were done (by the dealer), and other sources have advised me they could not have been done with the problems that I am been having and that I am currently having.
General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 malibu, 2004-2007 malibu maxx, 2005-2010 pontiac g6, 2007-2010 saturn aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the body control module (bcm) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of park, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of park. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service ESC and/or traction control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition. General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2008 my chevrolet malibu (gmx380) and 2005-2008 my pontiac g6 with 4-speed transmissions (mn5); except for vehicles already repaired under safety recall 12106 12v‑460 with labor code v2671 or v2672 and 2007 and some 2008 my saturn aura vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission (me7/mn5). These vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture at any time.

While driving on the express way, all of a sudden the reduced engine power / service traction control alert comes on..I have an 07 pontic g6 that keeps giving me a "reduced engine power" message, then cuts your power and you can't drive more than about 30 MPH. This is so dangerous to have the power go from 70 MPH to 30, it keeps doing that. I have replaced the gas peddle ($180) and it still does that, so I am have the throddle body replaced, god knows what that is going to cost me. Is there any recalls on this happening to others? Like I said, it is very dangerour when your pulling out in front of cars and it does this.
May 2013 engine shuts off when manually downshifting. Restarts shortly afterwards. April 2014 engine shuts off after decelerating to drive over a speed hump. Will not immediately restart and must be towed. Tow truck driver is able to get car started by jiggling the key. April 28, 2015 engine shuts off while waiting at stoplight. Will not restart and must be towed. Again, tow truck driver jiggles the key to start the engine. April 30, 2015 fuel system service and adjust loose transmission cable - $203.25 check engine light comes back on the next day. May 8, 2015 engine shuts off after decelerating to drive over a speed hump. Restarts shortly afterwards. May 15, 2015 engine shuts off while coming to a stop to let a car in front turn left. Car restarts after a few minutes. Every time the engine shuts off, the power steering and power breaks fail as well. Fortunately, every one of the nearly half-dozen times this has happened, it has occurred at low speed or while stopped. I can only imagine what would happen if this occurred at 70 MPH on the highway. Although the g6 is not included as one of the 20 models and 2.6 million cars recalled for a faulty ignition switch, the likenesses between my issues and these other cars are strikingly similar.

I have just received my fourth recall notice only on my 2007 pontiac g-6. I have twice spoken with someone about the importance of this matter, and when they thought it may be fixed. I have concerns on this as the car does have to be used on a daily basis, and occasional 350 mile round trip. I am not very dissatisfied with the way this is being handled,I do not want to see another notice of the recall,I want it fixed !!! I would think this time frame should not have to go by when a safety issue is at risk. Safety recall#14152 and 13036 I plan to report this issue to whom it concerns.

2007 pontiac g6. Consumer request reimbursement. *tgw the pulley idler was replaced.
This car is an automatic and when put into drive the engine jumps, when driving the car during first and second gear the car jumps. The engine light is on reads a camshaft sensor malfunction, those were replace and the system reset. Once the car is on the road for ten minutes the car begins to do the something. Over and over when the car sits for two or more days the car resets automatically then later while in use does it again. Oil change done engine flush done camshaft sensors changed.
Returned to car,after leaving the gym, car would not start making loud noise when attempting to start. Triple aaa came attempted to charge battery then change battery still not starting so it was towed to dealer. Dealer reported could not get engine to go forward or backwards questioned if warning lights came on or any leaks which there were none, informed I would need new engine and decided to go forward with that. Rebuilt engine put in vehicle, dealer then informed me that car had loss of power no acceleration that the catalytic converter is bad and needs to be replaced, but is under warranty by gm. Now I'm upset that theres been a known problem with the catalytic converter, I was not notified and it cost me an engine.
Two weeks ago, it became increasingly more difficult to remove my key from the ignition after putting my key into park. At times, it may take up to 5 minutes to remove my key. Within a week, I noticed that it was becoming more difficult to shift from park to reverse. Last sunday, (june 1, 2014) I was at the grocery store, shifted into reverse, then drive. When I put my foot on the gas, it was as if it was in neutral. I had to drive the car home in the manual setting. My husband then test drove the car and noticed the same things. He added that when in drive, it was as if the car was in neutral and it would actually move backwards if on a slanted road or street. My husband drove my car into bradshaw motors, wade hampton, greer, sc the next day, monday, june 2, 2014. They said we need a brand new transmission. With only 50,000 miles on my car, (which I bought new) I became very upset and began to investigate recalls. I found a recall #14v224000 on the www.pontiacproblems,com/recalls/g6/2007 website. I called the 1-800 number and have been getting the run around on the phone sense.
My g6 sports convertible has a tendency to lock me in the car.. It has a retractable roof and the windows function up and down and inch for security reasons when using the roof.. On such day, I was not using the roof and pulled in my driveway and put it in park and the driver door locked me in... Would not let me open the door .. I turned off the radio thinking it may have something to do with it but didnt.. The only door that would open was the passenger side door.. If that would not have let me out I would have been locked inside my vehicle.. Also, the traction light comes on when I didnt even have it on.. In summer I do not use the traction feature, onlyif it is raining hard. Three times for the light and two times now locking me in.. I contacted a pontiac service rep and he said I probably have a door lock defect. After many attempts once getting out of the car through the passenger side may I note that the key would not even unlock the door.. Makes me feel petrified that I am going to be locked in my car and I am claustrophobic.. Please gm look into this issue.. Thirdly there is a hiss that is coming from the motor and all is fine under the hood, the car is practically new at 22000 miles and these things should not be occuring.. At the time of this incident my car was not in the recall.. Now it is! Help!

I cannot remove my key from the ignition in the morning before my car warms up. If I stop to get gas in the morning, I have to leave the key in the ignition because it gets stuck in the key ignition. Only after my car warms up will I be able to remove my key.
I just hit my 80k miles. General motors extended warranty for emissions to 100k on 2.3 engine's. I have 3.5 engine. My check engine light came on; test showed cadillac converter. I telephoned #1 cochran in monroeville 5x and never received a return call to do emissions test on machine. This is where I purchased the car new. Then I telephoned bowser pontiac and they couldn't get me an appt till weeks because they were busy and had employees that kept calling off. I had my mechanic do the emission's test, he made a report showing this issue. I called gm and explained if they can do the customer good will claim based on the report from my mechanic because the dealer's could not get me an appointment. They said no. They deal with only gm dealer's not mechanics. So being just missed the mileage warranty gm is not willing to work with me to accept my mechanic's report to show they should have extended the warranty to the 3.5 engine's too. Due to the inability and non-willing to work with their gmac customer's I am looking to file a complaint with general motors as they could not accommodate me and I had to have my mechanic diagnose and pay for this repair out of pocket because they would not do a good will claim with my mechanic because the dealer's could not get me in to get a diagnostic test. I have documents to show this issue with the gm dealer and they reused to accommodate me with the issue that their parts were ineffective and they did not abide their warranty by a few miles and to work with me to file a good faith claim, meaning sometimes gm pays for all or some of the repair based on the report, but must have diagnostic test done at dealer and none of the dealers could get me an appt, and I was driving around for 4 weeks with the check engine light on and did not want to damage my vehicle with not being able to get an appointment at any time soon.
I have had my 2007 pontiac g6 for almost three years and the first year and a half was great no problems but january last year is when it all started going down hill first I was noticing that my gas mileage was getting worse so I took it to a mechanic and they stated I needed to replace my catalytic converter so I did. Next about 3 months ago my right headlight low beam went out and my boyfriend took out light and noticed the wires were completely burned off finally got that replaced. When I got my converter replaced they told me the mileage would get better and the gas smell would go away a year later now its getting worse and I have been told by a friend that its my fuel pump and its leaking gas . I have been driving around with my 1 year old son with a gas leak for a year which scares me and also makes me upset especially when I see that the g5 was recalled for this issue also and its common because they are putting me and my family at risk by not extending the recall to the g6 something needs to be done. Now im left to figure out a way to fix this when im a one car one income family . Please help and please fix this before someone gets hurt.
Was informed that the catalytic converter was bad and need to be replaced. This was replaced three years ago so I got a second opinion and was given the same diagnostic. Called gm and was told that the recall expired at 120,000 miles. Technically the part on the vehicle doesn't have 120,000 miles on it because it was replaced at 65,000 miles. And I was never sent a recall notice.
The catalytic converter was replaced 2 days after purchasing the vehicle. Fast forward to present day and diagnostic test are telling me the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. The vehicle now has 135,000 miles but has had regular oil changes. Spark plugs and the intake cam actuator solenoid were replaced on 8/5/2013 where I was informed that the p0420 code was coming back which is the code for the catalytic converter. I thought the mechanic was just trying to rip me off but the car has no power now and I've gotten several second opinions. Gm says that the recall for this part was at 120,000 miles, however I was never notified of a recall and I've had the car 3 years. They will not honor the recall now.
