What owners wrote

Since day 1 I have been having the same issues with this car. Car pulls to the left when being driven along with a popping sound coming from the front end suspension. Multiply items were repaired both under warranty and out of pocket expense. Ishaft, bearings, aligned 22 times, tire balanced, new wheels put on. Same problem still persisted. Toe clips keep popping off. Car still shakes with every fix. Steering has a whine to it - power steering pump replaced, did not fix the issues.

Reported at 431 miles, May 2008 Crash

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 pontiac g6. While traveling at high speeds, the vehicle began to rattle and shake without warning. Also, after the contact put on her seat belt, the seat belt warning chime sounded while the seat belt was engaged and in use. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was provided a repair estimate. Additionally, the contact stated that the fuel pump no longer functioned, which made the vehicle inoperative. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.
