The contact owns a 2005 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the suspension was unstable and the vehicle was wobbling in the front and on both sides. An independent mechanic replaced the front passenger side ball joint, but the failure intermittently progressed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

I already fixed my front suspension three times already. It seems that this a factory defect. I never had an issue with this so many times in any previous vehicle. I have been left stranded for this reason. I also have issue with the electronic power steering for this vehicle. It gets really hard making it dangerous while driving because it is almost impossible to turn or steer the vehicle while driving.

Power steering light comes on and I lost power steering to the vehicle. Steering was very hard. Vehicle pulls hard to the left without any reason. I took it to the GM dealer 5 times to do an alignment but failed to fix the problem. Still pulls to the left as before. None of the dealers I went to knows what the problem is. I am concerned. 2005 Pontiac G6 GT 71,000 miles.

I purchased a Pontiac G6 from a dealer in palmdale, ca in 2004. Problems have been as follows: 1. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 12/14/05. 2. new tires @20,998 miles due to alignment problems. 3. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 3/27/07. 4. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 11/02/07 5. won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 9/05/08 6. new tires @ 41,753 miles due to alignment problems- 4/24/09 7. new rotors, drums and brakes - 4/24/09 8. alignment - pulls to left - swapped front tires - 8/02/09 8. alignment and new rear brakes - 8/29/09 9. alignment - pulls to left - in shop 9/15/09 the list of parts & labor have been extensive and I am on my 3rd set of tires and currently only have 48K on my car. The tires only lasted for 20K miles!!! I've had a total of 6 alignments and countless rotations and nothing works. I have also been through 2 sets of brakes and rotors in this time period as well. When I blogged about this issue there are a lot of other folks having the same problems with this make and model. I contacted the BBB auto line and they said my complaint is not within their jurisdiction. I contacted Pontiac / GMC and they said they can not help me. The car is dangerous to drive and hopefully it won't take an accident for someone to realize that the car is a lemon and unsafe.

3 incidents of car skidding, sliding and doing a 360 when driving in the snow. 1st time, thought it needed new tires. 2nd time had gotten new tires, but thought it needed a slight alignment. Both incidents occurring while turning. 3rd incident, had gotten tires and alignment and driving slowly down a straight path when slid into the other lane with me having no control, thankfully no cars were coming, but did a complete 360 turn.

2005 Pontiac G6 has problems with the brake lights, brake pads, and rotors. The day after purchasing the vehicle, the consumer had to take it back to get an alignment and have the rotors replaced. In June 2008, the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because the brakes were making a noise. The dealer was unable to duplicate the issue. Two weeks later, the front pads had to be replaced because they were worn. The sunroof had to be repaired due to a rattling noise it was making. After the sunroof was repaired, it began to make a different noise. A technician determined a pipe had ruptured. The brake lights were on when the vehicle was in drive. The consumer then received a recall letter in the mail regarding the defective brake lights after already paying for a sensor that didn't resolve the issue.

] this vehicle is a new 2005 Pontiac G6. While driving at 45 mph and up with back rear windows down there was pounding vibration, it was assumed to be air that filled the vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, who had no remedy for the problem. Dealer contacted the manufacturer and they did not have a remedy either. Dealer duplicated the problem. Also, tested other Pontiac 2005 G6 that had a similar problem, as well as the 2006 model. No repairs were made, but consumer felt this was a safety issue.
