2008 Pontiac G6 suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This car has had numerous issues since I bought it and I have taken the car to different repair shops and none of them can figure out what is wrong but they hear the problems. The steering makes a constant popping noise when accelerating or turning the wheel, the steering wheel locks when the car is in reverse, the brakes squeak, and underneath it sounds like the bottom of the car is going to fall out. It's pretty sad when you take this car to different professionals and they can't figure out what is wrong with the car but they clearly see there is a problem. This car is dangerous and needs to be recalled. Who wants to make payments on a car with numerous issues that can't be fixed.
Vehicle makes a constant popping noise when turning, braking, or accelerating. Sometimes the steering wheel locks when trying to turn it. Underneath driver and passenger floor board it feels like the bottom the car is falling off. The brakes squeak so bad. I have taken to three shops and everyone hears the noise but can figure out what is wrong. Sometimes when I get in the car the air is on full blast with no keys even in the ignition. This car needs to be recalled. I have read so many complaints about the same issues.
Brake lights are on when pedal is not pressed...all the time! Clunking noise in front suspension. On-line investigation shows hundreds of these complaints concerning this vehicle. Leaking/disconnected tubes in roof from sunroof drain tubes. Caused major leaks, wet interior, including under back seat. After removal of carpets and seat, musty odor remains and staining of headliner. There were hundreds of these reports on-line also.
Whenever I turn the steering wheel either left or right, I hear a knocking coming from the steering column. The knocking is even more persistent when I turn left. Also, when I turn left, I hear a noise come from my left-front area... It's almost like there's a problem with the rack.
When I hit a bump even a lil one it sounds like there is something lose in front end. Took it to preston motors in my city new castle, pa 16101 they looked at it like 5 times and put new parts on and it is still doing it. Not sure if its a problem or not. It sounds like it might be in suspension.
Car is making noise when turning left or right took to my mechanic he said its the control arms no can dealership where bought car said it wasn't covered my son just had to replace his control arms on his g6 about 2 months ago I have read up on this on this seems to be a major problem on the g6 ithinkit should warrant a recall is people are having so many problem with the control arm.
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 2008 pontiac g6, and while driving there is a knocking or sounds like something is loose on the left front suspension. They have replace the steering shaft, sway bar links, still having the problem. Had it to the dealer 3-times. I am afraid something will break and cause me to wreck. Can hear it gook hitting a pot hole in on the pavement or going down a gravel road that has pot holes. If something breaks and causes me to wreck, I will pursue if still available I will sue the dealership for not correcting this. I am tired of spending all my time at the dealership, they are suppose to have certified mechanics, but they don't take enough time to really fix the issue with my car.
At 38,500 miles, have had multiple problems with steering, including 2 steering shaft replacements, steering gear replacement. Power steering will fail at various times while turning at low speeds. There is also a loud pop which the dealer diagnosed as the steering shaft, but is never fixed after replacement. Also had to have cv joint replaced at 38,000 miles due to failure. This vehicle has never been wrecked or otherwise damaged. According to the dealer, these are very common problems with g6's and should be recalled.
Had to replace rotors twice within a year from buying the car.
2008 pontiac g6 has issues with possible defects. *nj the consumer stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle wandered. At 60 MPH, the wandering increased and constant corrections had to be made to prevent an accident. The consumer also stated the brake pedal was too high and too far from the gas pedal. The consumer stated his foot did not come to rest evenly on the brake pedal, rather his foot came to rest unevenly on the pedal. The steering was inadequate. When the ratio between the steering wheel and the front driving suspension was too large, so at times of an emergency when a quick turn of the wheel is necessary to avoid a collision, such response is not available due to the defective construction of the vehicle. The response to the steering wheel was sluggish. The steering wheel did not turn with ease, but required excessive turning and excessive strength. The sunvisor extended too far down which impaired the consumers visibility.
