I have owned my Pontiac G6 since I got it in 2006, I have had many issues with this car right off the bat stating with power windows failing taking it in multiply times to get it corrected, second the panoramic sun roof will not open and is stuck [xxx] but not sealed completely closed, had taken it to many GM dealerships over the past few years and everyone has say it is impossible to fix. My first thought is how on earth can a company put out a product that nobody can fix. Now I have a leaky sunroof when it rains, and my most recent problem is my power steering. Driving 65 on the freeway and my power steering shutting off. I got this fixed in December of 2013 and it now November of 2014 and I have no power steering, and ever dealership and the GM headquarters are telling me there is nothing the can do for me and I have to pay everything out of pocket for them not fixing my car properly. I am tired of having issues with this car does it take me to get injured or die in an accent for them to take this matter seriously.

The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac G6. She states that since she purchased her vehicle her window would not roll down. Occasionally it would roll down then sometimes it wouldn't. she believes that the window regulator is broken. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician stated they could not repair the failure because they could not duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 6000 and current mileage was 60000.

The paint on the interior's buttons are chipping off. I.e. the door lock/unlock, the buttons to raise/lower the windows, the radio buttons. The exterior paint job is awful. Anything that rubs against the car including my nail will scratch the paint.

When below 32 degrees the side windows will freeze in the up position allowing the doors to open but not shut completely until the windows have warmed up and/or I run a credit card along the window and seal to lower them. The above is worse when snow/ice is present.

I bought this car on 4/12/2006. The electrical system has a problem so when the passenger rolls down the power window the driver can not put it back up. On 6/29/2006 I took it in for this and they put grease on my windows and they replaced the drivers side window switch. It worked for 2 days and then it stopped working again only this time the passenger seat belt warning stopped working as well, so on 7/8/2006 I took it back and they replaced the drivers side window switch again and repaired the wires to the warning for seat belt. Now here we are it is 7/17 and it quit again on Friday the 7/14/2006 so I called and this time they told me they are keeping it indefinitely and the lady who made my appt. Said I should consider renting a car. I argued that for as much money as I spent on this car I should not have to, so they agreed to pay the rental. My concern is this; things keep happening with the electrical system what if it causes a fire or worse an accident with me and my 3 kids in it.
