Pontiac G6 Power Train Safety Report | Apr 01, 2007
Reported on Apr 01, 2007
| WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND TROUBLES STARTED IMMEDIATELY. FIRST THING WAS WHEN YOU WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD MAKE A POPPING NOISE, WELL RETURNED IT A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A CAP , THAT USE TO BE METAL BUT ARE NOW PLASTIC WEARS OUT , NOTHING DANGEROUS BUT ANNOYING. WELL THAT WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE SOME KIND OF A ROD WAS REPLACED. THEN IT ALWAYS SMELLED OF ANTI FREEZE. AND WOULD LOSE IT, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAK. WELL AFTER HAVING IT IN HAVING 2 RADIATORS PUT IN IT, IT STILL DID LOSE FLUID. UNTIL RECENTLY I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE A LADY LEFT HER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND RAN OFF AND LEFT IT IN THE MIDDLE LANES COMING OFF OF A BRIDGE A MAN SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND I HIT THE SIDE OF HIS BUMPER , AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND I GOT A NEW FRONT END AND A NEW RADIATOR AGAIN. STILL LEAKED FLUID. MY HUSBAND AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE LEAK AND BOUGHT A PART AND FIXED IT HIMSELF. PRETTY GOOD AFTER 3 RADIATORS AND ALL THE TECHS WORKING ON IT OVER THE 6 YRS, HE HAD TO FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP RIGHT AFTER I GOT IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU WOULD TAKE OFF, IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT SKIPPED A GEAR. BUT IF I SHIFTED W/THE STANDARD SHIFT IT WOULDN'T DO IT. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION TRAY AND ALL WAS FINE. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING, THEY STILL SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. BUT TO THIS DAY ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK IT WILL STILL SKIP WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD THE MOTOR ON THE CONVERTIBLE REPLACED RIGHT AFTER I GOT IT. THE STEREO WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE CHAIR ARM RELEASE, THAT ALLOWS YOU TO LET THE SEAT UP FOR SOMEONE TO GET IN THE BACK CAME OFF, THEY PUT ANOTHER ONE ON AND NO ADHESIVE IT STRIPPED OUT AGAIN. REFUSED TO FIX IT. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK FROM ALL THE REPAIRS IT HAS HAD,WILL LIST IN ANOTHERPOST. *TR | |
