| I purchased a pontiac g6 from a dealer in palmdale, ca in 2004. problems have been as follows: 1. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 12/14/05. 2. new tires @20,998 miles due to alignment problems. 3. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 3/27/07. 4. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 11/02/07 5. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 9/05/08 6. new tires @ 41,753 miles due to alignment problems- 4/24/09 7. new rotors, drums and brakes - 4/24/09 8. alignment - pulls to left - swapped front tires - 8/02/09 8. alignment and new rear brakes - 8/29/09 9. alignment - pulls to left - in shop 9/15/09 the list of parts & labor have been extensive and i am on my 3rd set of tires and currently only have 48k on my car. the tires only lasted for 20k miles!!! i've had a total of 6 alignments and countless rotations and nothing works. i have also been through 2 sets of brakes and rotors in this time period as well. when i blogged about this issue there are a lot of other folks having the same problems with this make and model. i contacted the bbb auto line and they said my complaint is not within their jurisdiction. i contacted pontiac / gmc and they said they can not help me. the car is dangerous to drive and hopefully it won't take an accident for someone to realize that the car is a lemon and unsafe. *tr | |||

| 3 incidents of car skidding, sliding and doing a 360 when driving in the snow. 1st time, thought it needed new tires. 2nd time had gotten new tires, but thought it needed a slight alignment. both incidents occurring while turning. 3rd incident, had gotten tires and alignment and driving slowly down a straight path when slid into the other lane with me having no control, thankfully no cars were coming, but did a complete 360 turn. *tr | |||
