Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Apr 24, 2009
Reported on Apr 24, 2009
| THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM AUCTION IN APRIL OF 2006. I HAVE HAD THE CAR THREE YEARS NOW. FROM THE TIME THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING. IT WILL TURN OVER BUT DIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT STARTS. IT USUALLY TAKE THREE TRIES BEFORE IT WILL START. TODAY I GOT IN MY CAR AND TURNED THE KEY NOTHING WOULD COME ON, NO LIGHTS NO RADIO NO NOISE NOTHING. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. I TRIED IT THREE TIMES AND THEN ON THE FOURTH TIME IT STARTED LIKE NORMAL. I CHECKED THE BATTERY AND IT IS FINE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT BECAUSE IT WOULD NO DO IT AT THAT TIME THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING. THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING ALSO KEEPS DINGING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY RESET IT AND SAID IT WAS OK, NOW IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING BUT IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY TO HAVE IT SERVICED. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE POWERSTEERING ALSO. THERE ARE TIMES IT WILL BE EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AND THEN IN A FEW SECONDS IT IS EXTREMELY EASY AND NOW IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED TWO MONTHS AGO AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED THEY HAVE STARTED MAKING A REALLY LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE AND SOMETIMES A GRINDING NOISE. NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SINCE THE BRAKES WERE JUST MAINTENANCE. THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL NOT STAY THAT WAY FOR LONG. *TR | |
