| I HAVE A 06 PONTIAC G6 W/ 20K MILES. AT 4K MILES IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CD PLAYER PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS. 3 WEEKS AGO WE WENT TO USE THE VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND BATT. FOUND TO BE BAD. LAST MONDAY 29TH WE FOUND THE BATTERY TO BE DEAD AGAIN SO IT WAS TOWED BACK TO TE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN BATTERY WAS BAD AND REPLACED. THEN WE HAD BEEN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL RANGE, MILEAGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT. YOU WOULD BE DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE WOULD SAY YOU HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT AND 39 MILES TO EMPTY. YOU DRIVE A MILE AND THE GAUGE IS ON EMPTY AND IT SAYS LOW FUEL!!! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS NO PROBLEM FOUND, WORKING AS MANF. BUILT THEN IT WOULD SAY YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF MILES TO EMPTY THEN THE NUMBER WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID. NO PROBLEM FOUND, WORKING AS MANF. BUILT . I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SAID 206 MILES TO EMPTY, I DROVE A HALF MILE AND IT SAID 180 MILES TO EMPTY. THEN DROVE A QUARTER MILE AND IT SAID 193 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS WAS UNDER NORMAL SPEEDS AND ACCELERATION. MY DEALERSHIP FINALLY REFUSED TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO SAID CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO I DROPPED IT OFF TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED.
