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."

My pontiac g6 2008 started having acceleration problems. When getting onto the highway the car takes a long time to get up to the 55-65mph speed. I researched this problem on pontiac g6 forums and many people are having the same problem. The car shouldn't be having this problem so early on. This is a dangerous defect as people are already flying on the highway and when getting behind a car that is taking a long time to get up the matching speed, you are asking for an accident. I've already had people honking their horn at me. This car has serious issues outside of the steering problem reported. Between constant water leaks, actuators failing too early on, speakers blowing out when hardly used, and now this engine issue, I will never get a gm car ever again. For a car that only has 60k on it, these problems should not be happening. This is stuff a 100k+ mile car should have. Poorly designed car that every pontiac g6 owner is aware of, and now the us government.

I purchased my pontiac brand new with 189 miles. Shortly after while driving my car, I noticed a squeaking noise from the brakes. I had the brakes checked out and they were fine. Was told it was due to dirt in the brakes. In 2011 my indicator light came on telling me to check my fuel cap. I took it to the mechanic, and ended up paying to have something in the fuel system changed. I am still encountering issues with the indicator light to check the fuel cap. The gas mileage is terrible! I have complained to the dealership about this issue and was told that it was due to it being winter. I then waited until summer and still am experiencing fuel issues. A major issue in which I have noted that hundreds of other pontiac owners are having is with the steering. My steering is making terrible clanking noises. I am afraid that something is going to break on my car. I am self employed and take clients on errands/dr appointments and rely on my car to get us there safely. I will be taking my car to the dealership to complain of this issue. I also will be complaining of severe rust issues on my car. My window also leaked water. My door was improperly aligned. Water leaked into the door of my car and did not release causing water to stay in my door. I truly believe with all of the complaints in regards to the steering that this should be recalled for safety. Not to mention what other problems the steering shaft is causing your vehicle.
