Pontiac G6 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | June 06, 2011
Reported on June 06, 2011
| I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC BRAND NEW WITH 189 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I NOTICED A SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT AND THEY WERE FINE. WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO DIRT IN THE BRAKES. IN 2011 MY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO CHECK MY FUEL CAP. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, AND ENDED UP PAYING TO HAVE SOMETHING IN THE FUEL SYSTEM CHANGED. I AM STILL ENCOUNTERING ISSUES WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO CHECK THE FUEL CAP. THE GAS MILEAGE IS TERRIBLE! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO IT BEING WINTER. I THEN WAITED UNTIL SUMMER AND STILL AM EXPERIENCING FUEL ISSUES. A MAJOR ISSUE IN WHICH I HAVE NOTED THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PONTIAC OWNERS ARE HAVING IS WITH THE STEERING. MY STEERING IS MAKING TERRIBLE CLANKING NOISES. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK ON MY CAR. I AM SELF EMPLOYED AND TAKE CLIENTS ON ERRANDS/DR APPOINTMENTS AND RELY ON MY CAR TO GET US THERE SAFELY. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE. I ALSO WILL BE COMPLAINING OF SEVERE RUST ISSUES ON MY CAR. MY WINDOW ALSO LEAKED WATER. MY DOOR WAS IMPROPERLY ALIGNED. WATER LEAKED INTO THE DOOR OF MY CAR AND DID NOT RELEASE CAUSING WATER TO STAY IN MY DOOR. I TRULY BELIEVE WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE STEERING THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY. NOT TO MENTION WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS THE STEERING SHAFT IS CAUSING YOUR VEHICLE. *TR | |
