2007 Pontiac G6 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Grinding noise comes from steering column when accelerating and turning at same time (I.e. Turning from one road to another after stopping at signal or sign). Has done it since 2008. Bought the car new in aug 07. Also, driver's side window will go down like it is supposed to when door is opened but intermittently goes back up all the way right after door is opened. Have to hit the unlock or lock button to get it back into place.
Situation: the g6 was on cruise control at about 50 MPH, the road was in vermont hills/mountains, the weather was raining -- from light to an increasing intensity. The wipers were turned on to the low pulse setting, and as the rain intensity increased the pulse frequency was increased one step at a time. When the pulse was at its fastest, and the g6 was proceeding up an incline and the cruise logic was in the process of deciding to shift gears, the windshield wipers stopped enough to obscure all vision. This condition repeated itself until I changed the pulse setting to constant. Then, again, but this time in west lafayette traveling from the main road north out of town up route 443 between route 43 and 52 on cruise at 35 MPH in a rain with the wipers on fast pulse the wipers stopped and vision was obscured. Sooo, the hill/incline does not have to be 'mountainous' or very long in duration. The dealer in vt suggested I should just put it on constant pulse to avoid the issue -- duh. The dealer in michigan attempted to replicate the condition but city traffic, etc. Prohibited the 'experiment'. The gm customer relations contacts simply kept telling me that the condition 'did not exist' because it could not be replicated -- which was the same as calling me a liar. Duh. Yet the gm cr would not allow me to discuss the issue with anyone involved with the vehicle design or build -- because "it could not be duplicated" yet I duplicated the vt occurrence in illinois in different terrain. Since the 'hill' in west lafayette is very typical of hills in most of the states in the USA it is likely that anyone driving in the conditions noted would experience the same result. Yet, no one in gm will sit and discuss this at a functional level. When the wiper stops and no one can see out the front windshield, whether traveling at 50 or 35 MPH the condition is very critical and a serious accident can occur. I have been trying to discuss this frequently since it occurred.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 35 MPH in rainy weather conditions, when the brakes were applied water began to leak from the sunroof into the vehicle. An authorized dealer replaced the draining system within the sunroof under the warranty. Approximately 15 months later, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that her vehicle was not included in a manufacturer's issued recall related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000. The current mileage was 75,000.
As a consumer I am writing you this letter to lodge a complaint for the car/lemon I have been leasing. The type of car I am leasing is a 2007 pontiac g6 4 door sedan, #. Since leasing this vehicle I have many concerns of not only my own safety but the safety of other people on the road. Here are the following issues since leasing this car: 1.replaced signal switch located on steering column on 1/16/08 2.replaced right visor for mirror on passenger side of car 1/16/08 3.replaced broken cable for right rear window regulator on 3/14/08 4.replaced steering column on 7/28/08 5.replaced front brakes with high end pads estimated date 8/08 6.replaced rear left bulb for brake lights estimated date 10/08 7.about a month after steering column was replaced the steering column again was making a clicking sound when turning right and left at a slow rate of speed. 8.instead of replacing the steering column they chose to lube intermediate steering shaft instead on 1/20/09 and I will have to keep coming in when the lube wears off!! Really me having to come in every month or so!! That was their response to me!! 9.replaced radio because it didn?t come on when I turned on the car the display was blank. Would eventually turn on when it wanted to replaced on 1/20/09 also in researching the steering column problem some peoples steering wheels have locked up and they were almost involved in accidents and said in there complaint does somebody have to be killed before gm has a recall on these cars?? It has been a known issue since the first model year 2005 has come out. Per dominic torres my sales rep this has been a known issue but there have not been very many complaints lodged for any recall. Per dominic it is because the steering column is electrical instead of using fluid and the design was changed in the 2008 model year. Gm has contacted me and said they are not willing to lease a new car to me to replace this one. It will be re-poed shortly.
Driving to work on a winter day, had the rear defroster on to de-ice some ice on back rear window. I heard a "pop" sounded like a balloon popping, thought I had a flat, started to slow down, looked in my rear view mirror, that is when I saw that my back window was shattered. Continued on to work, trying to avoid bumps on freeway. No luck, when I drove over a bump the glass started falling into the back of the car. When I got to work tried calling dealer, kept getting put on hold, called insurance company I asked them if a certain glass company was on their list of repair shops, it was, I had to pay a $100 deductible, the rear window of car was replaced. I believe it was a faulty heating element in the rear window.
Passenger window has extremely bad whistle road noise. I have reported this to the dealer 4 times! They cannot seem to fix this issue. As a result, it has rained inside of my vehicle causing both seatbelts to mildew. The dealer has replaced both seatbelts. Also, the brakes have squealed since I bought the car brand new in 2007! The dealer cannot seem to get this taken care of either.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. From the date the vehicle was purchased, the sun visor on the driver's side hangs down six inches over the steering wheel. He took the vehicle to the dealer on several occasions; however, the manufacturer did not approve the repair of the vehicle. As a result, the dealer does not want to void the warranty and perform any repairs. The dealer replaced the visor once, but the same failure has recurred; therefore, the manufacturer stated that the visor was designed in that manner. The current mileage is 18,000 and the failure mileage was 966. Updated 6/2/08
