I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since I have had this car I have not had the chance to really enjoy it because I am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and I have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that I had the whole suspension system replaced and now I am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! Gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
2007 Pontiac G6 suspension complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that he was advised by a mechanic while having the tires changed that the alignment of the vehicle was not accurate. The vehicle was repaired with a chamber alignment kit. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no recalls for the failure. The failure mileage was 30,356.
On highway traveling out of town averaging 60-65 in my 2007 pontiac g6 I lightly pressed brakes approaching an exit for gas when a the steering wheel started shaking. I had to press the brakes again to stop after exiting the highway to stop. The shaking was noticeably worse. I purchased the car used about 2 months before this event so I did not expect any brake issues. After several months my wife mentioned a noise from the brakes. I had the brakes inspected and the service person said the brakes were fine but my front and rear struts were bad. I asked him if this would cause the steering wheel to shake when breaking at highway speeds and he said yes. I took the car back to the dealership of purchase and they did a brake inspection even though I asked to have the struts looked at and stated that rotors were warped. After this I searched for problems with the steering on the model and year of my car. I found thousands of customer complaints of all the symptoms and issues I was having. I did find a service bulletin about the intermediate shaft in the steering.technical bulletin no.: 06-02-32-007g date: april 05, 2010 subject: clunk, knock or rattle noise from front of vehicle while driving or turning over bumps at low speeds (diagnose noise and perform outlined repair) models: 2004-2006 chevrolet malibu maxx 2004-2008 chevrolet malibu classic 2008-2010 chevrolet malibu 2005-2010 pontiac g6 2007-2010 saturn aura supercede: this bulletin is being revised to update the parts information for the bolt. Please discard corporate bulletin number 06-02-32-007f (section 02 - steering. At this point I believe a recall should be issued on the entire front suspension including the factory rotors which warp within 2k-3k miles. Re-surfacing these rotors increases the braking problem. And a non-metallic ceramic brake pad should be installed by a gm certified service department.

I bought this car, a 2007 pontiac g6 gt coupe about 2 years ago and it only had 37,000 miles. It now still only has 75,000 and the ball joints are out! This should not happen this soon. I have another car, a 1997 buick lesabre and it's ball joints are still in good condition. It has 167,000 miles. It caused all of my tires to wear out early and now I'm looking at over a 1000 dollars to fix it. This is obviously a design problem. The car is undriveable. It's not safe to be driven because of these ball joints going bad so early. I guess I'll have to go back to driving my much older but much more reliable car.
Front end clunk/rattle/knock on bumps.
Rotational noise in wheel when pulling out or turning wheel left or right. Also have front suspension problems with the struts and the strut mounts which broke on both sides of the car for no reason what so ever.
