Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 70 MPH in light rainy weather conditions, the windshield wipers failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the windshield wiper transmission fractured. The vehicle was repaired. Prior to the vehicle being repaired, the windshield wiper blades were replaced because an unusual noise was heard whenever the wipers were activated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000. Updated 07/28/16
The wipers failed to work. But after 10-15 minutes of the vehicle operating they began to then work. Sometimes the wipers would work with the washers and high speed only. When the wipers were left on and the car was parked, the battery drained and was dead the next morning. Then the engine on two occasions attempted to start itself when sitting and not on. On one occasion it successfully started itself. On several occasions the interior dome light stayed on.
Back in april of 2014 my car started acting strange when getting at 30 MPH. I noticed the RPM would get between 3 and 4. My automatic nor manual shift would go into second gear. If it did, I would almost get whiplash. I took it to a mechanic who replaced wire harness and two shift solenoids (sw). I then noticed during the summer my driver front head light doesn't work at all even after replacing the bulb. Again, in november of 2014 my car began repeating itself with the transmission problems. I took it to another mechanic and he said it's the solenoids. This is a danger to the driver and passengers because it'll stop going the way speed it needs to. I can't afford to keep putting money into something that keeps breaking down. Please help!! By the way, the driver side wiper sprayer stopped working.
I have a 2009 pontiac g6. When I first bought it I thought it was a gem after a few months my head lights would burn out a few times a month. After replacing them I noticed the actual wiring was melted. My passenger rear door won't lock or unlock. While driving through a storm my wipers stopped working. My wiper fluid won't come out only makes the sound. My power steering will turn off randomly. Stock radio stopped working. Now my break lights are acting up and won't light. My shifter also has been acting strange. Sometimes it won't shift. Blinkers blew out same time as brake lights. This car is nothing but a hazard.
