NHTSA Complaint #10690420 — 2008 PONTIAC G6

NOVEMBER 6 2014 I PURCHASED A 2008 PONTIAC G6 I HAD A SCHEDULED VISIT TO REPAIR A CRACKED GAUGE CLUSTER, A SEAT REPAIR AND REPAIR OF MY ADJUSTABLE PEDALS WHILE ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS I NOTICED A HESITATION IN MY TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE WRITER OF THAT HAPPENING AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I WAS GIVEN A 3 MONTH 3000 MILE WARRANTY THAT SAID NOTHING ABOUT WHO WOULD PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. IT WAS IN SERVICE AT LEAST A WEEK. THEY CALL AND SAY IT.S READY AND I PICK IT UP IT DRIVES FINE FOR 8 DAYS AND THE ELECTRONICS STOP WORKING ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON ABS, TRACTION CONTROL THE ODOMETER READ THE WORD ERROR AND MY TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT RIGHT. I DROVE IT RIGHT BACK AND THEY TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. THIS TIME THEY HAVE IT FOR 2 WEEKS ( I HAVE THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE THIS ). THEY FINALLY CALL AND TELL ME IT'S READY I PICK IT UP NO CHARGE AGAIN AND IT DRIVES FINE FOR 4 DAYS.SAME ELECTRONIC PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN.AND NOW IT WON'T START. I HAVE IT TOWED IN THEY HAVE IT FOR ANOTHER 6 DAY. THEY CALL SAY IT'S FIXED I PICK IT UP IT DRIVES FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND IT AGAIN ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON WON'T SHIFT RIGHT TRACTION CONTROL NOT WORKING AND THE ODOMETER READS ERROR AGAIN. THIS TIME I DON'T SHUT IT OFF AND DRIVE IT RIGHT THERE I COULD NOT AFFORD ANOTHER TOW CHARGE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. THEY HAVE IT FOR ANOTHER 10 DAYS. THEY CALL ME TELL ME IT'S FIXED FOR THE 5TH TIME I GO PICK IT UP 6 DAYS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING I BRING IT IN THEY TELL ME IT NEEDS A REBUILD FAR $2357.00 AND BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM I HAVE TO PAY HALF OF THE PRICE.
