I have a complaint , in which my car decided to not place itself in PARK as my gear shifter indicated. The power doors would not pop open when it was in PARK, and continued to ROLL. I then could not start the car in PARK, and ONLY in NEUTRAL. I then tried to replace it back into PARK and it was NOT IN PARK , and proceeded to ROLL.
I had to place VEHICLE in my GARAGE and place EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE. 2 hours later mycar decided to START in PARK as it should, and I took it straight to dealer in OAKLAWN ILL. They diagnosed problem as SHIFTER CABLE INTERNAL FLAW ,and said that I could use my EXTENDED WARRENTY in which I pay a 250 deductible. I replied that there is a recall and gave a
GENERAL MOTORS # 09041.
NHTSA # 09V073000
THERE IS NO RECALLS ON YOUR 2008 G6 is what I was told,and nothing I could do about it,but pay the deductible.
MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING AT 52,000 MILES THAT THIS RECALL STATES.
I filed a complaint with NHTSA, and do not feel that this is MY RESPONSIBILITY.
PONTIAC will loose my buisness, and will be a fight to get this problem on the recall list.
Please if you are experiencing this lets get PONTIAC to fix their PROBLEM !!!

Recently purchased My 08' G6 4cyl for my fiance, it has been running fine although the past week we had issues 1.) The driver side rear door half the time it wont unlock. 2.) The issue started happening yesterday, While driving to work my fiance had the cruise control on (like she always does) but this time halfway to work the Service Traction Control light came on and kicked off the cruise control. She tried to turn the cruise control back on but no luck. After work the same thing she was driving home and Service Traction Control came on and kicked off the cruise control. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what is causing this and how do I go about repairing this? Thank you for reading this and I appreciate any help.

I have a G6 GTP Hardtop Convertible. Love the fact that the back seat is comfy and big. Would love it better if it had been a 4 door as I didn't realize I would be a grammy and have to load and unload a baby seat in the back seat.
"Top not secure" error message started out intermittent, but now is constant. I have been able to put the top up and down all summer so I let it go, but now would like to have use of the trunk, which does not open, either with fob or trunk lid button on door. I think the rear window defroster does not work either.
I also have an oil leak that the dealership told me could be any one of 4 areas and gave me an estimate of $1300 for all four leaks. I guess it would be less if they are lucky and get it right the first time... The post about the redesigned gasket is interesting. I may start there.
I have 82,000 miles on this car. It is red and must have a target painted on it because it was rear-ended about 4 months after purchase (new). Within the first 5 months I had the car, it spent 12 weeks in the shop, 6 weeks to fix a problem with the convertible top that they had to wait for parts to be made available, and another 6 weeks in the body shop after the rear-end accident due to having to order 5 trunk lids before they got one that wasn't so damaged that they couldn't use it. I had more miles on a rental car than the new car...

I love my car, the GTP upgrade is well worth it. Fully loaded, the sound system is great. I have a two year old son, theres plenty of room for him without kicking the seat. It handles great in all weather. The only problem i have had is the replacement of tires are pretty expensive, but thats all i have bad to say.

Tires are the worst stock ever seen replace them with other tires from another make and you should have a good car. eat brake but so far wagner thermal quiets are great they dont gwt eaten by this car. had to change pads at 43,000 mile steering good but not as good as Audi A4 back in 1993.pontaic G6 2007.

great car... I have a 2007 its almost 2011, car is great. I have a G6 v6.... factory tires were horredous being an "upgraded base" its understandable... 17 in wheels on hankooks. I put a set of cheap BFGs on the car and it is amazing.
I am a florida boy, no issues whatsever with brakes of anything, in the mountains of NC on trips I did have the rotors warp, but they cooled and unwarped. This car has given me 0 problems whatsover, I just hit 47,000 miles on it. Granted it is still new, but I have nothing but confidence for it. It is the sole vehicle that my newborn son rides in.
I will admit backseat is tight with Graco carriage/carseat installed, and trunk is not "ideal" for installing a stroller... but all honesty, in a midsized sedan, I canot think of anything that woudl do the job better. Back seat size is not better even in small SUV/Crossovers. Trunk size is better, but then again we are talking an SUV.
as car talk goes... I am not a normal schmo.. I am a huge huge car guy, and also an FAA certified Airframe and Powerplant mechanic employed by Boeing. If I had my way financially, I would own a G8 GXP, but I cannot afford. Either way, pontiac is best bang for the buck since they have been shut down.

Great car. Fast, sporty, awesome handling & smooth acceleration. I own a GTP model, fully loaded and worth it. Only issue: After a couple of years had a problem with the passenger side headlight having a crack which allowed rain/moisture to get in it so had to replace that.

This car is a LOT of fun to drive with razor sharp handling and swift acceleration. We have never had any problems with it. The Monsoon stereo sounds fantastic and the audio controls on the steering wheel is a nice touch. It's just a great cruisin' car. The car is also very good in the snow

NOt a bad little car, seems to go through brakes though and I am not too fond of the "LOW" profile tires.
Expensive to replace...
