Pontiac G6 Electrical System Safety Report | May 05, 2010
Reported on May 05, 2010
| IN EARLY MAY WHILE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS FROM MY HOME TOWN MY BATTERY DIED. THE REASON MY BATTERY DIED IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES STARTING MY CAR. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION FOR THE LX9 ENGINE SEEMS LIKE IT DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM TO A TEE. IT IS ON INTERMITTENT EXTENDED CRANK TIME ON HOT ENGINE RESTART, STARTER MAY NOT DISENGAGE AFTER ENGINE START . THE ENGINE TURNS BUT I WILL USUALLY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK AND RESTART IT AT LEAST A SECOND TIME FOR IT TO ACTUALLY RUN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TWICE NOW TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CANT FIX IT. EACH TIME CALLS FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FEE. ON MAY 5TH ALL THE EXTRA JUICE TO TURN ON THE CAR CAUSE MY BATTERY TO DRAIN COMPLETELY SO I WAS STRANDED FOR HOURS IN A TOWN WHERE I KNOW NO ONE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT JUST CANT SEEM TO BE FIXED. *TR | |
