all under warranty. The rotors will warp soon, hopefully
they will put new ones on this time. 6 speed broke with less than 10K and the alternator at 20K (last week)
the 06 GTP had the 3.9 motor
I get tons of compliments on the car and I love it!
so I had taken the car to a University of Illinois agrinomist to see if the car had a bug infestation or if they were different - they were different.
So GM told me to go to a dealer. This time i tried a new dealership that didn't tell me i was leaving the lights on...this dealership dropped the headliner and even they said it was full of bugs, even dead bugs were dropping out of the holes when they were unscrewing it.
Here's the bad part - I had to pay the diagnostic fee $70 for them to look at something that should have been taken care of with the first dealership. At least this time my Pontiac rep from GM customer service is working with me. But they have to find a solution for the problem before they'll refund me the money. It's not alot, but it's the priciple of the matter.
GM keeps telling the dealership that they've never had this problem before. I've directed them to this site. I beg you - please let me know of any dealership (and location) that you've taken your car if it's had bug issues or if you've called GM.
I see your just about where I am with BBB, what ever happened with your arbitration hearing. Please let me know!
I have already took the car in 6 times for my seatbelts getting wet, 4 of the 6 were supposedly drainage hoses in sunroof, other 2 were from window or weatherstrip. My 7th time in was for my steering gear which created a popping noise, and my radio went out. speaker distorted! My problems started after 4months of having this car. To frustrating, seems like a lot of people have had similar problems. Good Luck To all!!
pushed in the clutch and turned the key.... nothing, no starter, had power,lights, radio but no starter... tried a couple more times.. finally bump started it.. ran all the way to Lafayette ~ 9 more hrs.. never turned it off. check engine light also came on... ran close to 75 whole trip.. 29.8 MPG not bad.. car started okay all weekend and returned east with no problems. Went into the shop today to replace the stering intermediate shaft and (i assume) another machine job on the pulsating rotors again... dealer just called to say the senor on the clutch pedal is bad (reason for the check engine light~ that went out on the way home) so they found the reason... bad news is there is no pedals available anywhere.. just like the alternator which went south and took a week to get replacement... so now I get to play russian roulette everytime I have to start the car.. will the senor allow the car to start or not??? Dealer's not sure how long for replacement to appear.
let's count... 6 speed shifter defective, no reverse, no getting the key out.. fixed in 3 days, alternator 7 days for replacement, clutch pedal sensor..... how long...stay tuned...
GOOD LUCK
the whole car has dirt specks under the paint.
has anyone had similar problems,GM is reviewing my claim :mad:
The 3.6L had 252hp which put it in contention with Eclipse (263hp), Altima coupe (270hp) and Accord coupe (268hp for 2008).
If this is true, why did they do this?
2019 Kia Soul+, 2015 Mustang GT, 2013 Ford F-150, 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible
this is only a solution to one of my many problems, but at least i've found one good dealership and one awesome customer service rep!
best of luck to all pontiac g6 owners.
Frustrated in Az
The G6 is a nice ride though, but given all the problems I've had, as well as a lot of other people out there, I won't be purchasing again...I still like most GM vehicles, don't get me wrong, just sick of all the problems.

The chair levers are crap eh? Mine broke twice and now it always comes loose. Thats what you get when you put plastic on metal huh? My door reflectors have both fallen off, but I just "Gooped" them back in. Back seat bolt?? My driver seat frame bolts have come loose causing a wonderful bouncing effect while driving...I'm in the same boat, but all my stuff has been under warranty, I always insist and they're good at doing it. Take your car into a different dealership. If yours isn't, then go to the largest or main Pontiac dealership in your city. thats what I did.
Now I'm patiently waiting for the next problem to arise.....
Was it from a dealer or an individual?
Man, it sounds like this car had some really rough treatment before you got into it. Is there any question about warranty coverage?
I know...lots of questions....
Good luck on your repairs!
anyways, i wanted to state that i too have tried to get the dealership to fix the rattling noise that comes from my moon roof when it's up and i hit a bump. it makes my car sound like a POS.
here comes the worst... i've now had my car in to have the moon roof water leak fixed (at least) 5 times!!!!! first (before the recall) they said it passed the leak test, second they rerouted the drain hoses, third / fourth they replaced the drain hoses (had to take it back in cause they had to wait for the parts after my car had sat at the dealership 2 days), fifth i had extended drain hoses put on, which cost me $120 because they said my previous drain hoses plugged due to normal wear and tear! this was 1 year after i had my previous drain hoses replaced! i went to corporate but they agreed with the dealership. 1 more thing, it still leaks! i'm going to take my car into the dealership again this week (sixth time and counting!).
i noticed the steering rack most at low speeds when turning at near right angles. it was more than 1 knocking noise... it was several.
also, i get 1 or more metallic twinking noises when i take off in 1st or reverse. this most often happens in reverse. has anyone heard where this is coming from?!
i purchased the extended warranty (additional 125k miles, 5 years) for like $1200 at $80/mo. i highly recommend all those with a g6 gtp coupe do the same!
I apologize for the problems you have are experiencing with your vehicle. Have you contacted GM Customer Assistance? Please keep me posted.
Thank you,
Caron, GM Customer Service
