My 2008 pontiac g6 has leaked water since the day I bought it; however, I did not know how bad it was. Finally, the water leaking in ruined an electrical component - the accelerator pedal position (app) sensor. Upon investigation I found black mold all over on the inside of my car (under the carpet). Finally, gm decided to fix the leak, plus clean my carpet. Unfortunately, within 8 months it was leaking again and black mold is all over under the carpet. I worked with gm and the dealership for months; they took a very lazy approach to my situation and did not seem to care. You can actually smell mold when you get in my car. During this timeframe I have become ill and have had many (a lot of) symptoms associated with black mold exposure. General motors is fully aware of the health concerns, but they don't really care. Clearly this is not a freak occurrence.. Another complaint I found on this website from someone else: "the contact owns a 2008 pontiac g6. While parked, the contact noticed a large accumulation of water on the front passenger's side floorboard. The failure recurred after rainy weather conditions. In addition, there was mold under the front and rear passenger's side carpet. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the air conditioner was repaired. The problem recurred two times and the air conditioner was repaired each time. The contact had concerns of the health issues related to the mold. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable."

Water drains from the dome light area and sunroof. Brought it in multiple times to pontiac shops. They say the fixed the issue, but it happens again months down the road. This apparently happens to many pontiac 6 2008 owners. This is a major issue as the leak occurs when I'm driving on the highway and distracts me from the road. It never happens when I'm still, only when the car is moving. I have all the reports for all the visits I've made since I bought this car new in 2008. They gave me an extended warranty since this keeps happening, but that is running out soon and gm refuses to back the issue outside of the warranty causing me to pay out of pocket if it happens again. There is a design flaw that they refuse to publish and place a recall.
I was driving on ice when my pontiac g-6 front wheel drive started sliding to the left from back to front and flipped end over end and then rolled 2 more times and landed on the passengers side door the airbags did not deploy and the drivers seat belt did not lock up. I able to easily unfastened the seat belt on the drivers side of the car which was around me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 pontiac g6 convertible. The contact stated that while opening the convertible top, the plastic hinges fractured. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 50,240.
This vehicle has many problems starting with the seat belt in the rear of the vehicle is malfunctioning, brake lights are on all the time, water pump went out in 2012, the transmission shifter sticks in park, the car has shut down on the street while driving and the service traction control message appears, the two rear passenger automatic door locks do not function properly, the trunk button is inoperable. I am fed up with all of the electronic issues and have tried to have them resolved at the dealership paid to have them fixed and it has returned. The roof of the car is showing rust and the steering column was clunking which was fixed underwarranty.
I bought this vehicle used around 07/15/2009 with 19000 mi. Around 58000 mi in 12/2010, driver side rear door lock actuator started to lock/unlock 50% of the time. Around 65000 mi in 06/15/2011, driver side rear door lock actuator locks/unlocks 10% of the time and passenger side rear door lock actuator locks/unlocks 50% of the time. Now at 83000 mi in 10/2012, driver side rear door lock actuator locks/unlocks 1% of the time and passenger side rear door lock actuator locks/unlocks 10% of the time. This is a safety/security issue: if the doors do not lock when the vehicle is placed into gear, the structural integrity may be compromised in the event of a crash. Small children may be prone to injury/death. If the doors do not lock when exiting the vehicle, the vehicle and its contents are vulnerable to theft/vandalism.

I have a pontiac g6 2008 and have a lock problem with the back passenger door. Sometimes it unlocks, other times it does not. Have to unlock manually or crawl over from the drivers side to unlock. Not very happy about this problem. Took it to the dealers to look at and unfortunately it worked perfectly - murray law.
