2006 PONTIAC G6 Visibility Problems

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO MY G6 STARTED LEAKING WATER AROUND THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR AND I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD BECOME WET WHEN IT RAINED AND IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT IT SOAKS THE DRIVERS SEAT AND HEADLINER AND THE ENTIRE CAR HOLDS SO MUCH MOISTURE YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS. I HAVE A SUNROOF BY THE WAY. THIS PAST WEEKEND I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I PULLED BACK SOME OF THE HEADLINER AND LIKE THEY SAID THE DRAINAGE TUBES WERE NOT EVEN CONNECTED. WE TRIED TO RECONNECT THEM BUT THEY ARE SO SHORT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SHRUNK DUE TO HEAT BUT APPARENTLY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND THEY...

POWER STEERING GOES OUT ON MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES ADAY. IT HAS GONE OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING AS FAST AS 40MPH. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHEN IT GOES OUT I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF BEFORE THE POWER STEERING WILL START WORKING AGAIN. ONCE IT COMES BACK ON THE STEERING DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT. WHEN I TRY TO STEER TO THE RIGHT IT IS STIFF WHEN I STEER TO THE RIGHT IT IS VERY LOOSE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 4 YRS. LOVED IT UNTIL I GOT AFRAID TO DRIVE IT! ALSO, WHAT DUMMY CAME UP WITH HAVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STOP RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF THE DRIVER? IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW WHEN IT IS RAINING.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-94 NEAR ANN ARBOR, MI DURING A RAIN STORM. I HAD THE WIPERS GOING AND I HEARD A QUIET 'POP' SOUND AND SUDDENLY THE WIPERS NO LONGER WORKED AS I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE GOING 70MPH. I EASED OFF THE HIGHWAY ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FLASHERS ON TO AVOID CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND ESCORTED ME AND MY WIFE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I FOUND ON A CAR FORUM ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT THAT A SMALL PLASTIC INSERT WEARS OUT AND THE WIPER MOTOR DISCONNECTS FROM THE LINKAGE. I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT WIPER LINKAGE WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY FROM A LOCAL JUNK YARD. I AM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS (A TEST ENGINEER) AND THOUGHT THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY CONCERN THAT IT SHOULD...

I HIT A POTHOLE AND THE BRACKET HOLDING THE CONTROL WIRES FOR THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND MY SHOCKS RIPPED THE WIRES. I NOW NO LONGER HAVE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL, ATLEAST ON STATED TIRE. MY IDIOT LIGHTS IN THE DASH ARE NOW CONSTANTLY ON AND PUT OUT AN ALERT DING EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. I PREVIOUSLY HAD SOME ALIGNMENT WORK DONE, BUT THAT WAS OVER 4 MONTHS AGO. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER HITTING SAID POTHOLE. I HIT A CURB BACK IN 2007 WHICH LED TO THE ALIGNMENT WORK THAT WAS DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE PLASTIC USED FOR THE WINDSHIELD WASHER JETS HAS ALSO RECENTLY CORRODED AND FELL APART, SO THEY NO LONGER WORK EITHER. *TR

MY SUN VISOR MIRROR COVERS ARE NONFUNCTIONAL AS THEY DON'T STAY OPEN AND DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I SEE THAT IN BULLETIN # 05094 IN DECEMBER 2005 THIS WAS ADDRESSED BUT THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ON THESE AND THEY COST OVER $250 TO FIX. THIS IS SOMETHING FAULTY WITH THE CAR AND I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

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...
