Consumer Description

2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 STALLING WHILE IN DRIVE AND PARK. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS AND HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR IN PARK, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY TURN OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. THE BRAKE AND STEERING WILL ALSO LOCK UP. UPON TURNING THE CAR OFF AND PLACING IT IN PARK IT WILL RESTART, I HAVE PLACED THE CAR IN THE SHOP TWO TIMES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. LAST TIME (MAY 18) WAS TO TAPE ENGINE WIRES AND CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTOR, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD FIX IT. THIS REPAIR COST ME $500. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED, HAPPENING THREE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE DAYS. I HAVE CONTACTED PONTIAC NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. BOTH MY GM DEALER AND I HAVE USED A CODE READER TO SEE IF THE CAR IS THROWING OUT A CODE WHEN IT STALLS BUT NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. MY CAR HAS QUICKLY BECOME A LIABILITY TO MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME, AS THE LAST TIME I STALLED I ALMOST DRIFTED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS APPARENTLY QUITE WIDESPREAD IN 2006 G6S. *TR
