 Driving during snowy conditions, i began to lose control and spin out. i attempted to correct my steering, then my car fish tailed. i slid into the ditch, never used my brakes. i took out a sign with the drivers side and hit about 3-4 trees with the front end. my airbags never deployed. thank goodness no one was injured, but the amount of damage done and how many things i hit, shocks me as to why my airbag never deployed.

 First the darn radio stop working off and on after i got it and all the way to now, for as long as i owned it. and then the steering wheel started making popping sounds and now the headlights keeps blowing bulbs because the darn wires are burning. on top of that the manual says that it gets 30 mpg and i only can get up to 23 mpg. if i knew this i would of left that darn car on that lot.

 Tl- the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. the contact stated that she noticed orange and red liquid on the floor of her garage. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnose that a gasket attached to the water pump had come in contact with a dex-cool anti-freeze and caused a deterioration of the gasket and the metal. as a result, the water pump had to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. the failure and current mileage was 70,000. pmb

 Vehicle gearshift indicates that it is in park, but it's actually in reverse, luckily it started rolling down a hill before i got out of the car.

 There is a smell, like really dirty socks from the dash. it does not happen every time the car is used. to smell it you have to start the car and it is there. sometimes the heater is on or the air. it also becomes less noticeable with time, up to 10 minutes. it is a very storng smell. i don't beleive it is the catalac converter, which has a different smell like rotten eggs. because it goes away most the time i don't think is is a dead mouse or something like that. it is not a dead anamal smell. help. you want to jump out of the car the first time you smell it. i do not know if it is a chemical or not but my noise burns a little.

 Reported clicking noise to dealership when making a sharp turn while backing up at 8355 miles - dealership checked - vehicle was operating within manufactures spec. at 13313 miles reported a clunking noise when steering during slow driving and turning - dealership replaced intermediate steering and lubed. at 24008 miles reported a clicking noise again - dealership could not find anything wrong. at 27987 miles reported clicking noise again - dealership lubed all points of the steering per gm. at 36041 miles reported clicking and popping noise - dealership replaced the power steering rack. the problem never went away and the warrenty had expired. i am currently at 65000 miles and the clunking noise is getting louder, it can be felt thru the steering wheel, and can now be heard outside of the vehicle. what am i to do? no one seems be able to repair this problem and there are no recalls. since this is a steering problem, isn't this a safety hazzard?

 I bought this car, a 2007 pontiac g6 gt coupe about 2 years ago and it only had 37,000 miles. it now still only has 75,000 and the ball joints are out! this should not happen this soon. i have another car, a 1997 buick lesabre and it's ball joints are still in good condition. it has 167,000 miles. it caused all of my tires to wear out early and now i'm looking at over a 1000 dollars to fix it. this is obviously a design problem. the car is undriveable. it's not safe to be driven because of these ball joints going bad so early. i guess i'll have to go back to driving my much older but much more reliable car.

 I have a 2007 g6 with 75,000 miles on it and every-time i try to back or pull out on a parking lot or turn my car stalls out and their is no check engine light on i have almost been hit several times because it stalls out in the middle of intersections and when i am turning i also have a problem with the break lights staying on when i am driving i have almost been rear-ended a few times because of this. i also notice that the car will kick into gear and jerk itself without warning these are all very serious issues and make me terrified to drive my car so i went to my local gm dealer and they said that their are no recalls for my car but they can run a diagnostic test for $118 and i would have to pay for any repairs that need to be made because the warranty was up in 2010 which is ridiculous gm should recall these death-traps before someone is killed or seriously injured.

 My car wheel has been locking up..and says i have no power steering. after research, every car for pontiac g6 2005-2008 there has been this problem. it covered every year and skipped over mine! the wheel unlocks after hours time, but with no power steering and two small children its very scary on a highway. especially if it unlocks in a turn. when i called pontiac they wanted me to pay for service to be looked at and pay for the part, and i might possibly get my money back. from what i found out on the wheel, its a sensor and has to be replaced. as you know in this economic times, a part thats 500.00 is not in my budget. i thought i bought this car thinking it would be safe. and i know i am not the only pontiac g6 owner who has had this problem. please help me get a recall on this.

 I bought my 2007 pontiac g6 in august, 2007. less than three years later i had to have the brake pads, rotors and calipers replaced all the way around. now, less than two years after having that done i have now have to have my brake pads replaced both front and back and my rotors replaced on the front. something is seriously wrong with the brakes on the g6s.

 Grinding noise comes from steering column when accelerating and turning at same time (i.e. turning from one road to another after stopping at signal or sign). has done it since 2008. bought the car new in aug 07. also, driver's side window will go down like it is supposed to when door is opened but intermittently goes back up all the way right after door is opened. have to hit the unlock or lock button to get it back into place.

 Steering is popping and acts like it wants to lock up. called dealer they said nothing was wrong with it. called gm they took note. ive had it in the shop for the same problem 3 different times within a yr they repositioned and lubed the i-shaft. never fixed the problem. my drivers side front area there is a popping noise when its cold. that also was looked at 3 times. i was told there were no problems. it still makes the noise. actually its getting louder. i was told by gm to take it in and have it diagnosed. i have under 50,000 with no warrenty. they want me to pay for something that was supposed to be fixed. and have someone look at something they say doesnt exist. the popping in the steering and left front is still occuring every day but is worse when its cold.

 I bought a brand new 2008 pontiac g6 base model 4 door 2.4l. at less than 20,000 miles i started getting brake problems. i brought it into the dealership and they told me that i needed the brakes turned and grinned. i refused to let them do that because other pontiac g6 owners have complained about the same issues and when they got theirs turned and grinned the same problems with the brakes occurred thereafter. now (@24,000) i have warped brakes, worn out pads, and a defective worn out i-shaft(steering rod). i brought my car in to the dealership last week, they replaced one of the rotors in the rear, replaced all pads and grinned and turned the rest of the rotors. they claimed my car was fixed but the second i drove out of the dealership the same warping noise was apparent coming from the brakes when i hit my brakes and also when the car was in motion. i was still hearing the clunking noise coming from the steering column. i have done extensive research and found that many americans around are experincing the same issues with their brakes and i-shaft. this is a serious concern because last week at one point when i hit my brakes my car was not stopping. i kept hitting it and finally it gave in. this is a serious saftey concern and pontiac/gm needs to do something about it before they get the same problems toyota customers have gone through! view website to view customers experiencing the same problems.(http://m.topix.com/forum/autos/pontiac-g6/tg830thjsjtp9bl0t) please do not iognore this complaint..this is a serious issue! do not wait until someone loses their life to this problem. let's enforce gm to recall this model and car so many americans can stop dishing out hundreds of dollars to fix problems with this car that continues to be a problem once fixed! thank you

 I bought my 2007 pontiac g6 feb. 2007. just about a week ago (june 2, 2010) i was told my brake lights were on when i wasn't braking. when i do brake, the brake lights go off. i took my car to the dealer and they said it was the brake switch. well, it's not. i am still having the same problem and i need to take it back to get it fixed. this is dangerous to myself and other drivers. there should be a recall on this problem for all 2007 pontiac g6's.
