problem #12

Jun 102010

G6 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles

The vanity mirror is made with cheap plastic. The hinges on both of the mirrors have broken which means everytime I have my sunvisor down the stupid thing flaps at your face as you are driving down the road.

G6 3.8lV6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,860 miles

This actually was also a safety issue, because when driving with sun in your eyes and you can not pull down the sunvisor because the sunshade falls and blocks vision.

G6 GT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

Same problem with the clip on the visor. Took it to be replace and now have 2 different visors and I am not happy with the GM dealer for not telling me they were not the same. Would prefer a junkyard visor to mismatched visors.

(reported on)

G6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles

I experienced this about 8 months after I purchased my car. I inquired about it at the dealership when I took car in for oil change. I was told I had to replace the whole sun visor and they would have to order the part. It was very annoying at times. I finally just took the flap off. Eventually, the one on the passenger side fell off. I still have a mirror on both sides just no flap over mirror. I wonder if it is certain color of G6 or all colors. My car is Silver.

I have had to have both sun visors replaced (on separate times) because the vanity mirror flap hinge goes out and wont stay open! Now the passenger flap has broke AGAIN! So I give up, obviously this is just a cheap part that I need to just accept...

G6 GTP 3.9L

  • Automatic transmission

Pulled down visor and mirror cover fell open with broken hinge. It had just snapped without being touched. It took two weeks to get the part and over two hours to replace the visor. What a waste of time!

Every time I say not hardly worth mentioning I see where someone else has this same problem. I don't know if the vanity mirrors were not installed well or what, but they replaced it so I am happy, plus I had it done while I was getting my maintenance.
