Pontiac G6 Latches/locks/linkages Safety Report | Dec 15, 2011
Reported on Dec 15, 2011
| I HAVE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE MY VEHICLE AT LEAST 15 TIMES. YESTERDAY BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE CAR WAS IN PARK, I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD HEAR THE DOOR UNLOCK, HOWEVER THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAVE CALLED PONTIAC AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS. SO I LOOKED FURTHER INTO THIS BY DOING A GENERAL SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND APPARANTLY THERE ARE HUNDREDS HAVING THIS ISSUE. MY MOTHER AND SISTER BOTH DRIVE A G6 AS WELL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AS WELL. I WOULD THINK AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WOULD BE JUST A SERIOUS AS TOYOTA'S BRAKES NOT WORKING. IF THERE WERE TO BE A FIRE OR SERIOUS WRECK I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I HAVE HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE WINDOW OR THROUGH THE BACKSEAT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. AS A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS MAN LET ME TELL YOU HOW EMBARASSING THIS IS WHEN YOU ARE ARRIVING AT A MEETING WITH A CLIENT AND THEY HAVE TO SEE YOU CRAWL THROUGH THE BACK DOOR TO GET OUT. PONTIAC IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE AND THE MODEL OF THE YEAR OF THE CAR REALLY DOES NOT MATTER. I SAW A 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE 2010 MODEL YEAR. *TR | |
