Filed Oct 20, 2018 · Brakes, Visibility · 117,000 miles · IL · crash

Takata recall. I purchased the car the beginning of this year in january. When I test drove the car it was already making a loud humming noise that worsen. Once purchased and droved off lot I noticed that the cig lighter/battery charger didn't work even when I changed the fuse. The door locked on the passenger side got stuck, the brakes went out while driving, the windshield wipers stop working while driving in pouring rain and now out of nowhere the tire on the front passenger side is on a flat.

I was entering the highway on the on ramp, just at the end of the ramp and merging on I heard what sounded like a gun shot go off and then had shattered glass flying into my face. I was just about at highway speeds. I was able to safely get to the shoulder and stop. I inspected what had happened and found that my sunroof spontaneously exploded on me. Glass was everywhere, including all over me. When I entered the highway there were no cars in front or behind me, or on the highway when I was merging, therefore, no rocks could have hit it. The sunroof was closed at the time. A county sheriff pulled up behind me shortly on the shoulder. He stated he had never seen anything like this. I brushed the glass off of me the best I could and proceeded to drive slowly on the highway with my 4 ways on to the closest dealership, trying not to get a glass shard in my eye. When at the dealership they stated they had never seen anything like this. They also informed me that in the garbage they throw engine blocks on top of sunroofs to try and shatter them and they never do. I was also informed that this was not covered under warranty and insurance doesn't pay for this. I had to pay for replacement or be unable to drive my car in the rain or the snowy winters in wisconsin.

Electrical spasms. All gauges(including speedometer and tac) flake out, bounce around, go to zero. Traction control shuts down. Hvac electrical goes out. No way to see out windshield as defrost will not work when this occurs. Warning lights come on an off and on again etc. This can occur when driving or stationary, you never know when it will occur. Very unsafe and relates very well with recall already made by gm on 05/15/2014 for 2007 g6 but not for my g6??? How??? I have been fighting this for many years and can't get them to take care of it properly. Dealer did actually fix one problem once when the blower fan would come on whenever it felt like it even when the car was off, key out of the ignition, doors locked, and us walking away. Needless to say we had a few dead battery instances. Actually had a dealer and gm involved. Dealer wanted to have a blank check to continue to do diagnostics after having see the problem and extracted 17 error codes from the vehicles computer. They couldn't figure it out, asked gm who had no idea, and wanted me to let them diagnose with no limit. Unbelievable. Many reports of the same problem can be found on the internet.

1. Blower motor for the heating and cooling system stop working, took it back to the dealer as it was still under warranty, but because the blower was working when I took it in the dealer said nothing is wrong..took the car in three times for the same thing...I slowly lost all dial control 1-3 except 4...in 2009 gm recalled 2007 silverado's trucks for same thing the g6 blower motor was doing. Why is gm aloud to cherry pick who gets their car fixed and who doesn't...2. Airbag light come on and says to service air bag, so I call my gm dealer he had no idea of what I was saying. I took a picture when the service air bag light came on , showed the picture to the dealer and because it did not do that while looking at the car, again they say can't see nothing wrong with it...it still happens, and I am very afraid of the air bag issue's. Beginning to think gm dealers are working with gm to avoid repairs, as my car was still under warranty. And because the car does not do it when they look at it , nothing is wrong...don't feel safe, my children are informed, if I get into a car accident they know where to look, and who to go after.. Help !

Front drivers side factory headlight (left side) became hazed over when car had low miles and had always been stored inside. Car has always been kept very clean! Noticed many other pontiac g6s' having the same exact issue.

My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this. The brake lights do not work when you press the pedal and turn on without the pedal being pressed. My cruise control no longer works period. A gm technician looked at my car and could not find anything that he could do to fix it. When he used the tech 2 tool, he would try and turn one tail light on and the opposite would turn on instead. Pontiac will not even look at my car at any dealer for free. They want me to pay and maybe get reimbursed for it. I have many issues with my car but this is the worst. My panoramic sun roof leaks and makes a ton of noise while I drive. The sun shade fell off on it as well.

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.

Was at the dealership getting a new regulator put in for my power window and the tech there did a inspection of my car and told me there is a problem with my steering wheel the shaft. He then continued to tell me that about 2 years ago pontiac came out with a new part to fix this problem in all the new g6s. Why was there not a recall on this matter to the pontiac owners? This is a safety matter. And there should be no expense to me or anyone else who has this issue. What can we do about this?

Cruise control was active-on; windshield wiper was on 'fast pulse'; rain was moderate to heavy; road was hilly; event: when the cruise needed to decide to shift gears going up a hill the wipers stopped long enough for the rain to obscure all vision. The stopping was repeatable by setting up similar settings when the rain/road conditions allowed. This condition even occurred at 35 MPH, with cruise on, with wiper fast pulse in light rain, again obscuring forward vision, on a much less hilly terrain. Discussions with gm at the time resulted in the statement that because gm or the dealer could not 'observe' the 'stoppage' that 'it did not occur.' several attempts were made to get the information to the appropriate internal gm group but none responded. Since the condition occurred both in hilly/mountain terrain and in hilly city terrain it seems that it would be an important issue to resolve -- due to the lack of forward vision at the time of occurrence.
