NHTSA Complaint #10235630 — 2006 PONTIAC G6

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER LOT AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE POWER WINDOWS. IN ADDITION, THE CELL PHONE CHARGER FUSE CONTINUED TO BLOW OUT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS BUBBLING IN THE PAINT JOB THAT WAS ALSO REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE STEREO CHANGES FROM XM FM TO AM. THE SCREEN FOR THE XM RADIO IS BLANK, THE CLOCK IS ALWAYS BEHIND, AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEVER WORKS PROPERLY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE TICKS PERIODICALLY AND IT SOMETIMES STALLS UPON STARTING. THE NUTS IN THE DOOR LOOSEN EVERY TWO WEEKS AND MAKE A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN THEY ARE COMING LOOSE. THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATE 09/10/08 *CW THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND WAS REPLACED, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT RIGHT. THE DRIVE SHAFT BEGAN TO UNUSUAL NOISES. UPDATED 09/10/08. *JB
