What owners wrote

I turned into a parking lot not going no more than 15 MPH and my tired blew and by the tire blowing it pulled my car into a pole that be in the parking lots and again I was not going more than 15 MPH and when my side passengerside struck the pole it deployed my air bags. Noted the car was not hit in the front nor damaged to where the airbags were suppose to come out. Before that when I drive my car my airbag service air bags lights would come on.

May 2015 CrashInjury

I purchased a brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in 2008. The passenger side airbag light is always on. I had to replace the brake pads at 20,000 miles and the brakes are still giving me problems. When I turn the steering wheel, the car makes a crackling, loud sound. The headlight plugger had to be replaced due to them being burned out. I am very unhappy with this car. I am a single mother and I am sorry I did not research this car beforehand. I would not recommend this car to anyone.
