I was driving up an incline on I-287 in NJ when my RPM's skyrocketed and by car's check engine light came on and my traction control light as flashed. My car began losing speed and became hard to control due to a loss of traction. Upon a visit to my mechanic it was found to be my catalytic converter. I have looked online and discovered the G6 from 04-10 have been known to experience this problem but yet GM has failed to make a recall. I would appreciate if you could look further into the situation. I was fortunate to be able to get my 4 way flashers on and avoid an accident narrowly. If my car had stalled like some of the other people I have read about who have had this problem it could have been fatal.

When I went to put the car in park, all of a sudden there was no resistance in the shift lever, it moved back and forth freely in the casing. Car would not go into park or any other gear. It broke in drive and would not restart. Had to use the emergency brake to keep it from rolling forward, had to have it towed. The dealer said we needed to replace the shift cable, and said the part was a G.M. recall part. However, our car wasn't covered on the recall. I don't understand how a part can be recalled, but not all cars with the part are included in the recall, it just doesn't make any sense at all to me. I had to pay the G.M dealer $306. To have the car fixed. I really want my money back, I work hard for it, and this just isn't right. We did notify G.M. and they told us to notify you. Thank you

Back in April of 2014 my car started acting strange when getting at 30 mph. I noticed the RPM would get between 3 and 4. my automatic nor manual shift would go into second gear. If it did, I would almost get whiplash. I took it to a mechanic who replaced wire harness and two shift solenoids (sw). I then noticed during the summer my driver front head light doesn't work at all even after replacing the bulb. Again, in November of 2014 my car began repeating itself with the transmission problems. I took it to another mechanic and he said it's the solenoids. This is a danger to the driver and passengers because it'll stop going the way speed it needs to. I can't afford to keep putting money into something that keeps breaking down. Please help!! by the way, the driver side wiper sprayer stopped working.

I have a 2009 Pontiac G6. When I first bought it I thought it was a GEM after a few months my head lights would burn out a few times a month. After replacing them I noticed the actual wiring was melted. My passenger rear door won't lock or unlock. While driving through a storm my wipers stopped working. My wiper fluid won't come out only makes the sound. My power steering will turn off randomly. Stock radio stopped working. Now my break lights are acting up and won't light. My shifter also has been acting strange. Sometimes it won't shift. Blinkers blew out same time as brake lights. This car is nothing but a hazard.

Intermittent very hard up shifts (including changes from park-drive etc), cruise flys off and stops working while going down road, speedometer stops working and flickers randomly, car flashes "power steering" on radio panel and "error" on odometer read, hard turning, car loses power as it revs to realize it needs to shift (automatic transmission) initially, restarting car would help for awhile, but now the problem is consistent. GM dealership could not diagnose problem and thought it was loose wiring. After not being able to trace the communication errors the dealership simply gave it back with no fix or answers. Major issue considering the car has only 36500 miles to date with an issue clearly other Pontiac G6 owners have had to deal with as well. The inconsistent issue has contributed to a recent car accident.

G6 began to shift gears on its own in the middle of the highway leading to near accidents due to sudden stops or slow downs. Cars transmission locked in park and won't reverse. Car begins to reverse on its own in park but ends up catching itself back in park. Transmission seems to be set on park and won't change to go in reverse. Also the power steering high pressure hose burst at random while driving straight, caused severe melting of various wires around it. Nearly lit the car on fire after causing the starter to catch fire from the power steering fluid getting inside of it.

2009 Pontiac G6 GT 3.5L V6 - on 09/23/11 when I put my car into park, the transmission was still in drive position. The shifter handle was loose and would not lock into P, R, N, D. turned off the engine and could remove keys but when I tried to crank the car again it wouldn't crank. Had the car towed to a local dealer and they told me that the shifter cable was broken. Had the cable replaced along with a new bracket. On 07/24/12 (83600 miles) I am having the same problem again!! I called the same dealer and he told me that there is a 12 month or 12000 mile warranty on parts and labor but unfortunately I had already driven 22000 miles in the last 10 months. Dealer said they could check my car on diagnostics to tell me what could be causing the problem for $90 per hour. I can't afford to pay for them to tell me just what is causing the problem. I searched 2009 recalls and found one for my car, saying that the shifter cable clip may not be in place and that it could cause the vehicle transmission to be in drive while the shifter is in park. Sometimes my shifter had a little difficulty to get out of park position, like it was locked up. So what in the world is causing my shifter cable to break twice in a 10 month period"? is anyone else having the same problem as me?"
