2007 PONTIAC G6 Engine Problems

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT ON A CITY STREET IN PARK, AS I TRIED SHIFTING GEARS BACK TO DRIVE THE CAR JERKED FORWARD VERY INTENSELY ' WHICH IT HAS DONE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE' . BEFORE REACHING THE DRIVE POSITION. IT THEN PROCEEDED FORWARD OUT OF MY CONTROL INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK LINKING MY FRONT BUMPER TO THE HINGE ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.. IN THE MIDST OF THAT I IMMEDIATELY TRIED SHIFTING INTO REVERSE BUT DOING SO WAS VERY DIFFICULT HAS THE CAR KEPT PRESSING FORWARD INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK TO REVERSE WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTED INTO THE REVERSE GEAR VIGOROUSLY WHICH THEN ABLED BE TO DETACH FROM THE TRUCK. I PULLED TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT TO CHECK THE DAMAGE, AND SEEN MULTIPLE LEAKS NOT SURE WHERE FROM.

OUR PONTIAC G6 HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DRIVEN AT 75 MPH FOR AN HOUR AN AND A HALF. IT SAT FOR 5 HOURS AND THEN WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, IT SUDDENLY CAUGHT FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND "ERROR" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PUSHED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THREE DAYS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED TERRE HAUTE CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 5377 S US HWY 41, TERRE HAUTE, IN 47802, (812) 298-2730) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL. IT HAS 110,756 MILES AND IT BREAKING DOWN BADLY. THE GEAR SHIFT, TRANSMISSION AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROL ALL STARTED TO MESS UP AROUND THE SAME TIME. MY FRIENDS FATHER HAD THE SAME EXACT CAR A FEW YEARS AGO AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND/OR THE MANUFACTURER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY DUE TO A CONSTANT COOLANT LEAK. LEAK FIRST APPEARED AT BOTTOM CORNER PASSENGER SIDE OF RADIATOR, AND WITHIN A WEEK HAD ALSO SHOWED UP ON BOTTOM CORNER DRIVER SIDE OF RADIATOR. EVENTUALLY WOUND UP REPLACING THE OVERFLOW RESERVOIR, 3/4" HOSE TEE LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER OVERFLOW, SEVERAL CLAMPS, TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES, INSTALLED BRAND NEW RADIATOR AND OIL PRESSURE SWITCH LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE OIL FILTER. AFTER 10 DAYS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LEAKS, THEY REAPPEARED IN EXACTLY THE SAME LOCATIONS. FINALLY TRACED LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE TO UPPER CORNER PASSENGER SIDE OF INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, AND THE DRIVER SIDE LEAK TRACES TO ALMOST DIRECTLY AT THE COOLANT CROSSOVER PIPE GASKET. NOW, I'M AGAIN FACING ANOTHER $200 PAYOUT TO THE PARTS STORE.! I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR MYSELF, AS I HAVE MADE ALL REPAIRS FOR THE PREVIOUS 6 MONTHS. MY 07 G6 WAS WONDERFUL...

WATER PUMP - CONTINUOUS REPLACEMENT OF WATER PUMP ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 2-1/2 YEARS (AFTER ORIGINAL HAS QUIT WORKING) ALONG WITH THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT. THIS PROCESS IS EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING AND ONEROUS TO COMPLETE WITHIN A TYPICAL 8 HOUR DAY, ALONG WITH A FLUID DRAIN, FLUSH AND REPLACEMENT WITH FRESH FLUID. ALSO, CONSTANT REGULAR REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES, THOUGH NOT QUITE AS TIME CONSUMING, IS STILL A BURDENSOME ISSUE. ESPECIALLY AS NEITHER THE INDIVIDUAL FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES OR THE WATER PUMP IS INEXPENSIVE. THE 3 FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES - 2 FOR THE FRONT LEFT SINCE APRIL OF 2016 & SOON TO BE 2 RIGHT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES SINCE MARCH OF 2016 (BOTH OF WHICH LOCKED UP OR "FROZE UP" THEREFORE NOT ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO TURN AT ALL. BOTH INSTANCES OF THE WATER PUMP FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN VERY SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE AND/OR FAILURE HAD THE PROBLEM NOT...
