2006 PONTIAC G6 Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to Midas. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was then towed to an undisclosed dealer and the contact was informed that the engine failed due to the timing belt and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

My car stopped working all of a sudden in the middle of the road. no warning signs were made nor any of my lights came on. it’s rough running and never stays on long to drive. when i brake it completely shuts off. it overheats without the temperature gauge telling me it is. i don’t know exactly what is wrong but it’s not working now. i couldn’t go over 35 mph without it shutting off either.

WITH MY ENGINE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON TIME SINCE I'VE GOT THE CAR. THAN RIGHT BEFORE ONE OIL CHANGE I HEAR A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. SO I GET AN OIL CHANGE AGAIN AND IT WAS STILL MAKING THIS NOISE. FOLLOWING THAT MY AIR CIRCULATION FOR THE FAN WOULD STOP WORKING AT TIMES. MY RADIO ELECTRIC LINE SEEMS DAMAGED. WORKS SOMETIMES.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY COMING ON FOR ONE TING OR ANOTHER. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT. AT ONE POINT, THE GAS GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE TANK IN ABOUT EMPTY WHEN WE HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK HALF OF THE WAY. BEING SENIOR CITIZENS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR WITHOUT PAYING BEYOND YOUR BUDGET, OR GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE. ALSO THE POWER STEERING FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES.

RECENTLY, I SAW AN ARTICLE FROM A LOCAL NEWS STATION REGARDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GOING AFTER LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIPS FOR NOT DISCLOSING OR FIXING RECALLS FOR CARS SOLD OFF OF THEIR LOT. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS. UPON PLACING MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I DISCOVERED THAT I HAVE THREE RECALLS THAT HAVE AFFECTED MY CAR, HAVING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND POWER STEERING. MY CAR HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ITS BRAKES FROM THE GET-GO, I EVEN WENT BACK TO WEBSMART TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH MY WARRANTY. MERE WEEKS AFTER GETTING IT "FIXED", THE ISSUES RETURNED AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS RECALL OR NOT. MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, IN THE LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I...
