G6 GTP 3.9L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

I have have a '06' G6 GTP Hardtop convertible. Engine spontaneously shuts off and ABS light comes on every time I hit a speed bump, drive over railroad tracks, hit a pot hole. etc. Basically, every time I hit some sort of big bump on the road. When this happens, I would pull over the road, put it in park, and try to restart the engine. But, I would have to try several times before the car turns over. I would put car in total stop, park, turn off key, and wait a few seconds before restarting car. Sometimes it starts right up, other times would take a few attempts. It's almost like I need to wait for the car to reset itself. There is power when restarting, but it would not turn over immediately. Not even a starter sound or engine crank. It has gotten worse over the past week and and my car is shutting off more often. This has become hazardous especially driving on a thru-way.

I did take the car to a Pontiac dealer about a year ago to address this problem. The dealer changed out the electrical unit to a tune of $600.00. I brought the car back to dealer for same issue, and was basically told they could not find anything wrong with the car.

Driver side rear abs sensor is failing. What this causes, is a loss of all ABS and traction control. the vehicle goes into default standard operating mode with no ABS or traction control. This may cause difficulty driving in fowl weather. and is annoying to see the lights on your instrument display. Traction control has saved me from a ditch in the winter a few times. now I must be extra vigilante when driving on icy/snowy/slush filled roads.
