G6 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

First leak was the xm antenna. Water came in through roof center console lights. Second leak was from the sunroof water entered the cabin through the same place. Dealer repaired sunroof drain tube. Third leak was the sunroof drain tube. Dealer repaired the other sunroof drain tube. The water enter the cabin and ran on the passenger seat belt. This happened in the winter and the seat belt froze solid in the retraction reel. At the same time the water also damaged the airbag sensors in the passenger seat and caused the an airbag failure. The forth leak soaked both seat belts. This time the dealership extended the sunroof drain tubes per a service bulletin. Now there are intermittent electrical problems with the car. The heads lights would not turn on until the car was turned off then restarted. The turn signals, instrument cluster lights, and heater control lights stopped working intermittently. Of course they worked fine while the dealership had the car.

2006 Pontiac G6 with seat belt and air bag failures. Customer states that the seat belt failed to work properly and the air bags failed to deploy in an accident. The consumer stated the seat belt didn't lock properly and consequently she went forward on impact and sprained her wrist on the steering wheel. A representative from GM/Pontiac stated the consumers velocity on impact was too low and she didn't stop fast enough.
