G6

  • 30,000 miles
My current problem with my 2006 Pontiac G6 sounds the same as the recall for the 2009 Pontiac G6. Today (12-8-10) I had to bring in my car in to the dealer after putting my car in park, which then proceeded to roll. The wiring system did not seem to recognize park or disconnected from the transmission. I later tried to turn the ignition and the car would not turn on at all. 4 months ago I brought it in for the key getting stuck in the ignition because the car didn't recognize it as being in park. Three other times I had issues with the brake/foot peddles. I would have to break to accelerate and drive to slow down or it would not accelerate at all until it reached 30mph. It would automatically drive in traction control and read decreased engine power on the panel. In addition, I have recently had a fountain of water pouring into my car surrounding the sunroof on either side of panels btwn the front and rear windows, resulting in severe interior damage and subsequent mold spores growing. Instead of the filter surrounding the sunroof filtering water out, it is filtering water in.

There are no rear-door security locks on the vehicle. My child opened the door while the car was moving at a high speed on a highway. Luckily, she was not injured but could have been. I went to the GM dealer and they were not helpful at all. The owner's manual states that the car comes equipped with rear-door security locks, mine does not have them. The dealer states that the 2006 model temporarily discontinued that feature and then started equipping the car with the feature again in 2007. I find that hard to believe. I would just like the locks installed on my car at no charge to me.
