2005 Pontiac G6 Gt..... 2007 had transmission problems, had a new transmission put in, paid out off pocket, it was just out of warranty. Dec 2014 started having transmission issues again ( shifts hard/ jerks putting it in gear and when shifting gears while driving , engine light on).
So called headquarters, they referred me to GMC Buick dealer to have the recall on shift cable replaced (did that), problem still not fixed. So dealer told me needed to replace front and rear mounts @ cost of $316 (did that), called me that car was ready and had been road tested and it was fixed. I went to pick up car got just turned out of parking lot, doing same things, so I turned around and went back told them problem wasn't fixed, the guy said are you serious? I said, right there is the car, let's go for test drive. So we went for a drive, he said I can't believe this, bring the car back tomorrow and let us run a test on it, so I did that. He called, told me it needed solenoid and pressure control cost @ $474. I ask are you for sure this will fix it this time, he said I am sure, so had them to do that. Called, car ready, same thing, he had drove it and tested it, everything was fine.
Went, picked the car up, it's still the same, not fixed. So went straight back to dealer, told him it's not fixed, he said once again can't believe it's still doing it . So he said take car home drive it to see if it would reset itself and he would call me first thing Monday. Well, no call Monday, waited until around 1, called him... He said we can't figure it out, it's weird, sometimes it doesn't do it, they couldn't figure it out .
So here I was, without a car on and off for a month, car not fixed, and just lied to. So at this point very upset, so called headquarters, explain things to the lady, says what do you want me to do, you need to take it to a dealer (really). I just can't believe you can't get any help nor service after buying a New GM car. It wasn't a used car. But there's one thing our family has decided after all the issues, problems with GM and nothing has ever been resolved in any of our issues, that none of us will buy another GM car. Because somewhere there has to be a defect and they don't want to help. I mean an 2005 and all these problems with transmission. The code comes up p0742 for the issue.
