NHTSA Complaint #10640180 — 2008 PONTIAC G6

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAS LEAKED WATER SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT; HOWEVER, I DID NOT KNOW HOW BAD IT WAS. FINALLY, THE WATER LEAKING IN RUINED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT - THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND BLACK MOLD ALL OVER ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR (UNDER THE CARPET). FINALLY, GM DECIDED TO FIX THE LEAK, PLUS CLEAN MY CARPET. UNFORTUNATELY, WITHIN 8 MONTHS IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN AND BLACK MOLD IS ALL OVER UNDER THE CARPET. I WORKED WITH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS; THEY TOOK A VERY LAZY APPROACH TO MY SITUATION AND DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SMELL MOLD WHEN YOU GET IN MY CAR. DURING THIS TIMEFRAME I HAVE BECOME ILL AND HAVE HAD MANY (A LOT OF) SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH BLACK MOLD EXPOSURE. GENERAL MOTORS IS FULLY AWARE OF THE HEALTH CONCERNS, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT A FREAK OCCURRENCE.. ANOTHER COMPLAINT I FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE FROM SOMEONE ELSE: "THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LARGE ACCUMULATION OF WATER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS MOLD UNDER THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE CARPET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM RECURRED TWO TIMES AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS REPAIRED EACH TIME. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO THE MOLD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE." *TR
