What owners say
The electrical harness going to the drivers door doesn't function properly in any way shape or form. My locks blow a fuse every time you hit the button my trunk pop works with my key fob but not the actual button. My passenger window only goes down if you open the door completely but then only goes up with the pass. Switch and my car radio stays on even if I shut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car... Me not being able to get windows down or trunk open in an emergency is extremely dangerous and unsafe in every way and so is the door locks not functioning properly.... I demand a safety recall be issued on the wiring harness immediately....
My car was parked in the driveway, I went to open the driver's side door and the door handle broke off. This presents a safety hazard because if the fact this car only has one key entry. So if you lock your keys in the car and your driver's handle breaks off or doesn't work your not getting in your car even with your keys becuz there is only one key hole on the driver's side. 3 months after the driver's door handle broke off. I was shopping came out of store went to put my groceries in front passenger side and that door handle broke off. So that leaves me no there choice but to leave my windows down enough to be able reach in and open the door from inside or or leave my doors unlocked becuz I can not unlock my doors with the one key entry becuz of the door handle breaking off. What if some how the doors were to accidently lock with a small child inside ? You would not be able get into that car to get that child!
Takata recall. I purchased the car the beginning of this year in january. When I test drove the car it was already making a loud humming noise that worsen. Once purchased and droved off lot I noticed that the cig lighter/battery charger didn't work even when I changed the fuse. The door locked on the passenger side got stuck, the brakes went out while driving, the windshield wipers stop working while driving in pouring rain and now out of nowhere the tire on the front passenger side is on a flat.
The door locks keep locking and unlocking on their own and now the back passanger door lock stopped working. My brake lights stay on when I'm driving and the bad light keeps coming on but my garage can't figure out why, they said there's no reason for it.

Rear drivers side door lock will not unlock from inside; can't open the door. Car is stationary,
I went to get out of my car and the door handle wouldn't let me out(drivers side). My car shows its unlocked, yet it will not open the door. Finally, the door opened up. But again, after grocery shopping, my car failed to let me in!! I was stranded at walmart for a good 20 minutes before the door decided to start working again! This is a serious malfunction with gm cars! I looked up my problem, and it seems to be a reoccuring thing with gm. Why are they not recalling this?! I do not have a key fob, and the only way to unlock my car is from the drivers side, which is the side that will not open! I have to keep my doors unlocked every where I go as of now bc of this stupid malfunction problem! How embarrassing to be 24 and have to climb over from your passenger seat to drive your car. This problem should be resolved by gm!
I purchased car new in 2009 and have had problem after problem starting with exhaust system just weeks after I got it. It has had 3 recalls but I more are due. The headlights started going one after another and at one time all front lights were out at the same time. I had them repaired with new connector. Currently, the left headlight is out again and a new headlamp and another connector was installed and still will not stay on. Other owners I have spoken with have the same problems that I am having. But what can we do? I've been experiencing power steering going out occasionally for no apparent reason what so ever. There is a recall but my car is not covered under the recall although there were 2009 models that were. I was told my VIN number wasn't included in the recall. The air bag alert stays on. I had it diagnosed along with the seat belt alert and both need to be replaced. The seat belt sensor module needs to be replaced in the passenger seat. My rear door locks don't work and that's electrical problem. I feel the car manufacturer knew these problems existed and should be held accountable for selling these death traps. With all these serious problems, I can't grasp why gm don't take responsibility for all this and get them off the rode. I and other motorists are not safe while I'm still driving this car. Do the right thing gm and recall all 2009 pontiac g6 and make them safe.
