| 2006 | SUSPENSION:AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL (ASC) | I BOUGHT A PONTIAC 2006 G6 GT 3.5 LITER ENGINE HAS A LOTS OF POWER FOR A V6, MILEAGE WAS 47,000 KILO. FIRST WEEK HAD TO REPLACE ONE FRONT STRUT WAS LEAKING, ALSO FRONT TOP PLATE BEARING AND STEERING KIT WAS KNOCKING . TRACTION CONTROL VERY NOISY. NOW MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 52,000 K . STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE MANUAL TAP SHIFTING WONT SHIFT DOWN TO 4TH GEAR , SEEN THE DEALER THREE TIME NOW DOESN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM EVERY THING WAS SHIFTING GOOD. SEEN THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM YESTERDAY THANK GOD IT DID IT ONCE WHILE THE MECHANIC DID A TEST DRIVE WAS WITH HIM FOR THE TEST NOW BEEN OK FOR THREE DAYS. NOW 56,123 K THEY SAID MAYBE WONT COVER ON WARRANTY BECAUSE ABUSE , IF THEY SEE SIGN OF COFFEE OR SOFT DRINK SPILLS. WHY THE CAR HAS COFFEE CUP HOLDER RIGHT THERE OR NEAR THE SHIFTER COLUMN THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT HIS RIGHT THERE? CRAZY DON'T YOU THINK. HOPE IT WITH GET BETTER. NOT THE BEST CAR FOR ME UP TO NOW. WITH THAT MILEAGE SHOULD BE LIKE A NEW CAR. *TR |

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 |
