G6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 156,000 miles

ON MANY OCCASIONS AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH AN ALARM AND A WARNING ACROSS THE RADIO DISPLAY STATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE IS A PASSENGER OR NOT, IT DOES IT ANYWAY. I'M AFRAID THAT THE DAMN THINGS ARE GOING TO DEPLOY ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN I AM OUT DRIVING FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

problem #3

Jan 312011

G6 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

I am really disappointed in my Pontiac G6. I have had numerous issues with it since I bought it 2 years ago. The cruise control and horn don't work. It says to service air bags soon. The CD player doesn't work. There is a vibration when I go over speeds of 40 MPH. The button to open the trunk from the inside of the car stopped working. I have water damage in my car from it leaking from goodness knows where. The list goes on and on. I am a college student that doesn't have a lot of money and I can't afford to take it into a dealer to have it looked at for these problems. It is so frustrating. I wish I never would have purchased this vehicle. Even the pain on the buttons of the radio has peeled off. What kind of materials did the manufacturer use because things like that shouldn't happen.

Every once and a while my airbag light comes on. Not really sure why, but it flashes and dings. The next time I start the car, it's off. Then a few months later, it will do it again.
