Pontiac G6 Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | June 04, 2009
Reported on June 04, 2009
| 2006 G6 AIR COMPRESSOR FREEZES UP AND CAUSES THE BELT TO BREAK COMPLETELY DISABLING THE VEHICLE WITHIN SECONDS. NO POWER STEERING, BATTERY STOPS CHARGING, CAR RUNS HOT, AND LOSES TRACTION. ONE BELT RUNS EVERYTHING IN THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN IT BREAKS EVERYTHING IN THE ENGINE BEGINS TO FAIL. IT COST OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR. GM WILL NOT COVER THE ENTIRE COST, BUT SHOULD SINCE IT IS A MECHANICAL FAILURE. MY CAR HAD 42,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY FIANCE'S CAR WAS 3 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED TO HER VEHICLE. SHE ALSO HAD A 2006 PONTIAC G6. IF I HADN'T BEEN WITHIN A HALF A BLOCK FROM MY DRIVEWAY, OR RUNNING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. *TR | |
