Pontiac G6 Service Brakes, Electric Safety Report | Jan 14, 2010
Reported on Jan 14, 2010
| ELECTRICAL, STEERING, ABS- I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, I HEARD A THUMP WHEN TURNING. NO ONE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE I SHAFT. IN JANUARY OF 2010, MY ANTI LOCK BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING- $500 LATER, I THOUGHT I WAS SET. I WAS WRONG, ANOTHER SIX MONTHS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON. A LOCAL GM DEALER REPLACED THE ECM CONTROL AND CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY, $200 LATER. AN HOUR LATER, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. MY CAR SHOOK AWFULLY. I HAD ANOTHER TWO HOUR DRIVE UNTIL I GOT HOME, BECAUSE I WAS ON VACATION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT SOME WIRES HAD RUBBED TOGETHER, AND NEEDED REPLACED, $300 LATER, I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. THIS WEEK, I TOOK MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MEN NOTICED THAT MY BALL JOINT WAS GOING OUT. MY TIRE LITERALLY SHOOK IN FRONT OF MY EYES. TALK ABOUT SCARY... I GOT MY BALL JOINT/CONTROL ARM FIXED, AT A STEAL OF $230 BECAUSE MY FRIENDS FRIEND OWNS A SHOP AND GAVE ME A DEAL. I DID GET A QUOTE FROM A LOCAL DEALER FOR $420. IN THE PAST YEAR, THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT AND IT ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. I WANT OUT! NO MORE PONTIACS FOR ME! *TR | |
