2008 Pontiac G6 locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The driver side back door lock started intermittently working, using the remote or driver's lock button, and within 2 months completely stopped working. It can be operated manually, however, considering where the lock is located, it is extremely difficult and inconvenient to get to. Looking online, this seems to be a very common issue with this automobile. There should be a recall on this.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the head and tail lights would fail sporadically and without warning. The contact mentioned that the vehicle would shake violently and a loud noise was heard from the steering wheel. In addition, the door latches failed to lock. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 52,565.
First the rear door actuator worked 50% of time.then 0% . Cruise worked intermittent. Brake lights on while driving .hence stuck on. Passenger side airbag module faulty. Inopt. In that order. Al have to be related and its a known problem in pontiac. And gm wants 730 to replace module 232 for door actuator.its b.s recall 2008 g6. They have recalled g8 for similar problems.
Can not lock rear doors from front drivers side control. Kids can open door at will, even when driving at any speed.
Electric door lock fails to fully lock/unlock rear drivers side door, requires manual operation. This is a safety issue for prevention of intruders after entry into the vehicle.
Rear lock mechanism does not engage presenting safety issue for those in rear seat.
There's several issues with this car. First, the front right suspension is bad causing the car to shake. Second, I suddenly lost control of the car on the highway almost causing a severe accident while driving approximately 55-60 MPH. It felt like the steering power was no longer working. Last, both back door locks stopped working a couple of months after I purchased the car. I always have to let down the window in order to manually unlock the doors. Most of these issues occurred at 46,000 miles.
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.
I have a 2008 g6 that only has 50,000 miles. The rear door lock has stopped working. When looking online this seems to be a huge problem with this car. We now can not use this door as it will only unlock by hand and unless you go through the other passenger door you can not reach the lock. There should be a recall to fix this problem as it looks like almost all these cars have this same issue.
I would like to inquire as to whether there are any ongoing investigations and possibly any recalls for the pontiac g6. We purchased a g6 in august 2009 and recently started experiencing several different issues. I have googled the issues we are experiencing and am finding that these particular issues have been around since the 2005 g6 and all seem to be connected to a malfunctioning door latch mechanism affecting one and/or all door latching mechanisms. These are serious safety features that in my opinion would warrant a recall, specifically, the door locks malfunctioning. I do plan to take my vehicle in to be serviced at the local harry robinson gmc/pontiac in fort smith ar. The cost for assessment is $80 and between $100 & $200 per door mechanism if more than 1 is affected, with the driver side part being the most expensive. Of course labor is another $75 per hour. 2008 pontiac g6 4 door. Door ajar light will not go off. The automatic locks do not lock and unlock the doors. All doors do not lock when the car is shifted into gear. The driver side door must be manually locked inside everytime, the other 3 must be manually locked occasionally. (this means the standard child safety feature is not working!) the radio will at times stay on after the vehicle is turned off and after the door is opened and shut. - intermittent (must occasionally manually turn radio off after exiting vehicle) the ignition chimes will occasionally not go off after starting the vehicle - intermittent the interior light will not go off - must manually turned this off with switch. (impossible to back the vehicle safely at night with the interior light on!) the driver side door would not shut after entering the vehicle - intermittent - there were no blockages - (fix was to hold interior door latch in open position and flip the mechanical part of the latching mechanism back up with wrench) I look forward to your response!
On a 2008 pontiac g6 coupe (2-door) under normal use - just 7500 miles on a car less than 6 months old the drivers side exterior door handle just fell off in my hand - the failure point is plastic and seems quite thin. There was no warning prior to the failure - it just came off today when I went to open the door. Once the handle fails there is no way to open the door from this side - in the event of an urgency to enter the car - this could be dangerous.
Door ajar alarm sounds when all doors are closed. This causes the interior dome light to come on. This also stops the door locks from locking when shifting the car into drive. The dome light will come one after all doors are shut and the doors are locked. The dealer stated that the door lock assembly will need to be replaced. The dealer also stated that others have come in with the same problem.
