The cd player was not working when I got the car. I purchased just the cd unit of my radio online and installed it myself. Getting to the radio is a pain in the butt!

G6 GT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,700 miles

The CD player wouldn't shut off and kept making the most annoying noise, while the screen flashed ERROR. Disc 5 was playing and when I hit the eject button. The entire system went haywire, and stated disc 4 was jammed. The CD player would not shut off for 3 days in a row (even with the car turned off). I eventually had to jam a screwdriver inside of it until the motor died. I called the dealership prior to doing this and they said that they cannot repair any cd players, they only replace, which would be $500 plus labor... WTF? this car is S***!

After owning my car less than a year and with only one previous owner I wash my car one day and suddenly I have no working heat, air or stereo system! I have had diagnostics run and I keep getting told there is nothing there so check my fuses. I have changed them ALL and still nothing! Not to mention the fuse for the outlets and passenger air bag alert blows out every other week! Hopefully getting someone to fix it this weekend and not another.....sorry we don't know what is wrong with the car you paid $10,000 for!

G6 4 Dr Sedan V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 37,277 miles

This is the second time that my radio & cd player had to be replaced within 1 yr. This time when they determined that my cd player had to be replaced they had to order in the new system. While I was waiting on my new stereo the dealer let my take my car out with cd player continuously running even with engine off. I woke up the next morning for work & discovered that my battery was dead. Therefore had to call roadside assistance to come & check out my car & they stated that with the cd player constantly running it drained the battery on my car.
