I own a 2009 Pontiac g6 base model ecotech 365,000+ miles I have a timing chain replacement coming up soon but otherwise I cannot believe this thing still runs nearly perfect. Always starts always runs just needs to be properly taken care of like any reliable car. Did I mention I’m a delivery driver and I still use it daily. Awesome car same one from video but in white. Awesome review dude!
Yung Auti This made me feel so much better
. I have the same one same color just a 2010 the only thing is the a/c compressor has an issue where it works and blows cold for a couple of weeks then goes off for a couple of weeks. I know it’s an electric issue just have to figure out what is the issue lol I love the car 180,600 miles. My headlights I do have to knock on them lol
@@Cupcakeprincess85 yea headlights are a bitch on this car lol
Just bought one at 217,000 miles, changed all fluids, bought new tires and brakes and drove it 400 miles the next Day. SOLID car.
😲 365? that G6 is a Ryder!
I'm really glad I saw your post because i just bought myself one from a private owner and they seem to take good care of it. It has over 220k miles and was wondering if there was a breaking point. Thanks.
The pontiac g6 with the 3.5 v6 engine, is a very stout, enjoyable ride. Extremely reliable.
The steering from G5- G6 and impala, Malibu and other GM cars of years same have a manufacture recall. Get it fixed for free!
Also, the motor is EXTREMELY durable and reliable. But will leak oil up front because of a VERY EASY fix.
A $20-$50 Oil Filter Adapter Plate gasket is the common culprit as you approach 100,000 miles. Most complaining of the car have a G6 with over 100,000 miles.
This car is absalutely great on looks when done right, hasnt disappointed me yet. After owning a G5 and 2 G6s,
Steering needs to be replaced, the common wear items in suspension, and the oil adapter gasket.
@@sunshinelove364sounds like it to me
@@lucasjs1207 Thank u
awesome video
very clear, nice vocabulary, easy to listen to, nice delivery almost like a seacrest style. you need to be on tv.
The flex pipe on mine went out too at about 96k. I bought it at about 89k and have taken it to 113k and counting, that pipe has been the only issue. Just a great workhorse vehicle all around, I love it.
One problem that seems to plague all years of G6s are the weak electrical connections, especially in the headlights. My father and I resoldered the connections and haven't had a problem at all
Other than that, I've only had to do normal bits of maintenance (oil changes, brake/rotor changes, tire rotations). Mine is a 2008 3.5L V6
To fix the headlight issue. I took two zip ties and squeezed the connectors together. No problems since.
Also
My trunk button doesn't work.
I have a stuck/jammed CD.
Otherwise great car with 170k miles.
I have a nice little 07 G6, brand new tires and brakes, freezing cold air & hot heat, everything on it works with 239,000 miles and runs and drives like a new one. 1st car I've owned in awhile. Bought it in the dark for $1900 and couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's a really good car. Drives straight for miles.
I bet your car is worth a lot more now than what you paid!
Do you have the v6 engine?
@@Metalman2351 no the 4cy
@@dentondunn4346is she still running?
I just purchased a black one with 135,000 miles and your right about the trunk bottom sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't! but nothing else so far I absolutely love the car coming from a 2012 Impala when I had a list of things that went really bad! I feel relieved and satisfied right about now! a car is gonna have issues sooner or later! one thing my dad always said was never give up a car that's never left you walking! great video thanks for the info! even though I'm late by 2 yrs! 😂
Like a g6 like a g6 Nownnnownooww I'm feeling so fly like a g6
Watch has absolutely nothing to do with any car, moron.
@@alexcintas8792 You didn't get the inside joke.
Think of that everytime I drive lol
I own a 2007 G6 GTP 2 door coupe in Crimson. I bought it brand new. The only issues I've had not due to aging was 1) Rattling in the front driver wheel well and 2) transmission started to slip. Both were fixes by GM for free. Other than that its just been replacement of small parts from normal wear. I LOVE my car.
I just bought same one at 188,000 and now it has 190915! I’ve changed the signal switch and lower control arms. My steering wheel is shaking!! How much was that fix?
I had a 2005 g6 with the 3.5 and I sold it at 200k miles and it was still running like new. The only reason I had to get rid of it was the body rot from the rust cause I live in the north east. Loved that car
Dealership Who’s selling one of these just told me there fixing the rotted lower side rails so I’m going to get one of these probably. 2006 3.5L with optional overdrive. Pretty excited as the paint is still brand new looking and the wheels are beautiful. Interior is gorgeous as well. Lots of space. Love the video also very clear explanation and great choice of words .
You can check transmission fluid if you jack up car on jack stands and have it level there's a tranny tube with nut under car on drivers side you put trans fluid in until it comes out theres videos on RUclips I have 2010 g6 2.4
I have a 2009 G6 base w/ 4cyl and 6 speed auto. Love it. The 6 speed really wakes up the car. Plus you can swap in cruise buttons.
Please reply of you see this! You can use cruze buttons????
Yes there is a way you can swap in cruise control buttons. I'm not exactly sure how, but I know it requires a tech 2 scanner.
I own a 08 G6 2.4
Has 100K on it. I bought it off my parents.
When my parents got it. It only had 30K on it.
We always maintain and take care of our vehicles.
I like it so far.
How’s it goin
@@rolan_4027 She's still running great
Update, Sept 2023. I have 120K on her now. Got rust on the rear panels and under body area around it. Considering getting it fixed by a bodyshop.
Other than that. I've had to replace common stuff like, the control arms, brakes, typical stuff. Also had to replace the cadillac converter. I think I spelled that right lol. I'm gonna make my own review video with mine.
@@gothicdisaster01hey do you still have it?
@@Metalman2351 Yea she's running good. Damn rust is on the bottom panel where the doors are at, where those cars are known to usually rust. Other than that she's at 123K miles now.
Good video man! Got my V6 base model G6 back in 2018 from Josh Duggar and I've got it up to 259,700 miles. Replacements have been alternator, starter, radiator, power steering pump and some suspension work. Been a pretty great car honestly
Our 2009 G6 definitely has had its trunk release button break. Sometimes it’ll work if you really push hard, but more often than not it won’t work at all.
This video was put together very well !
I bought a 07 g6 gt convertible about 3 years ago. So far the only thing I hade to fix was an oil leak. Aside from that it runs strong im very happy with it. I made some mods on it like straight pipe an I tented the windows. It's at 87 thousand miles. Thanks for makein this video soon ill make one of mine soon.
Love the video! I love my G6 and Im glad that you show it off.
I got a 06 g6 gt with 149,000 miles. It has the 3.5l v6. Had it for about 7 months and put 16,000 miles on it. The back of my driver seat is broke the same, buttons faded, CD player don’t work, I just recently had problems with my tail lights getting a loose connection. But overall the most reliable car I’ve owned.
I own a 2007 Pontiac G6 myself. Everything you said is exactly what has gone on with mine in the last 100,000 miles. At the moment i am having a little issue with my cars idling. It doesnt happen all the time but it almost feels like the car is goosing the gas when im at a red light. I am on a mission to know as much about these cars as possible. Thanks for the info
I've owned two 2008 Pontiac G6 4cyl Ecotechs. They are the most reliable cars I've ever owned.
I had the electric power steering fixed via a recall. Both had the low beam headlamp corrosion problem that I fixed. I changed the rotors and pads with no problems. Very easy to work on and parts are cheap.
I bought my 2005 Pontiac G6 at 200k. Im now at 257204. Changed starter after 2 years and co2 sensor. needed headlight and tire patched at purchase. Very reliable. Never left stranded oil Changed religiously. Best car I've had besides Oldsmobile regency. Drive from kansas to Washington. I love my Pontiac. GM all the way
Speakers blown on driver side. Key fob quit working. It needs a seal for the trunk on driver side. Leaks water. Rains Lot in seattle. I commute an hour every day for work. Bumps and bruises. Plan to ride until wheels fall off
Do you have the v6 engine?
Glad to see i wasn't the only one who had issues with the cd player. Mine went out between 105,000-120,000 miles. 2009 Pontiac G6
Glad I'm not alone. Flex pipe went out last summer. Bunch of problems with headlights, me and my dad required them, no problem until a few weeks ago one went out again.
This was a great review, love your style! Looking to buy a 3.5 V6 Coupe version of it, but it's cool to know that even the basic trim has some spirit :-)
My '07 G6 has similar issues as the trunk button not working. I have oil leaks regularly. they have to put a thickener in it with each oil change. I have the shaken in the steering wheel as well. Thanks for the peace of mind that it isn't just mine.
Im own G6 GT,runs like freaking race car,no problems so far.
Chris Mad is this a good first car ?? Someone’s selling their 2010g6 got for 3.5 for 135xxx mils I want a good fast car for first buy lol
@@karissachavez292 Well just make sure there are no issues. Common ones are the suspension, power steering and rust on the bottom panel. As long as the steering is good then it should be fine. You will have fun with it for a first car, pretty fast but obviously not a race car.
I have had two g6s 08 gt and an 09 v6 mechanically no issues except the 08 the power steering pump failed and was wrecked by my fiance because she couldnt pull out of the turn but they are very quick cars which I like about them and for the 3.5ls which is what is in my current one and in my old one get pretty good gas mileage about 26 to 27 mpg.
@@karissachavez292 "Fast car".
157,000 Transmission fluid leak. One of the steel lines in the front. Cut the leak out with a pipe cutter, and fixed with a hose and 2 hose clamps.
At im listening.
@@jenniferlouis8704 Still running great. Had an oil leak. Half of the oil pan bolts were loose. It was kind of a pain tightening them. But now I can rev it up. #VroomVroom #WeBuildExcitement
2008 pontiac g6 2.4 lit 265,000 miles still going 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 well reliable i have 11years with it. Same problem with light harness melting
Iwas thinking bout buying one with 180,000 miles
Me too at 103,000 had it for 10 years
I have a 2005 g6 gt with 270000 miles on the speedo and still runs really well
2006 G6 Base trim with 103,000.
My trunk button also doesn't work.
Had to replace the camshaft as well.
Driver seat back side also beginning to fall off.
Nothing major, just minor nuances.
I'll keep maintaining it as far as she will go.
09 2.4L 6spd 75k miles. Actually gets up pretty quick in manual mode. So far most reoccurring problem is left headlight. Keep a wrench in the trunk cause it's an easy fix
FOR SOME REASON MY GAS MILEAGE IS HORRIBLE Especially using any fuel grade lower than 93
Recently sounds like a wheel bearing is going needs replaced. Starting to see small paint chips on two of the radio buttons. but overall pleased. Purchased at 34k 9/2017 and these are the only problems SO FAR 🙏🏾 oh and I hit a curb so the tire monitors read funny always says right front is low but it's actually right rear.
Also I think a 3.5/9L V6 AWD version would be pretty nice
162.5k Miles, 2009 GT Sedan, got it at 28.5k miles and it’s been nothing but good to me, the end piece of the cat just randomly falling off and the car being like EXTREMELY LOUD, like most of these things for some reason, it’s had almost no issues other than small things like tpms, it’s body, structure and paint is still in good shape, it’s quick, it’s never let me down, the speakers are incredible for stocks lol, it’s very easy to work on, and overall it’s a really sturdy reliable car and I love mine - 10/10 all categories💯
I own a 2008 G6 GXP coupe with 70,000 miles and runs good
This comment is late but the 2.4 with cruise sucks on hills even on highways it brings itself up to 4,000 rpm trying to climb hills on the highway. Just better off with the foot but long drives are nice with cruise control. The 08-12 Malibu’s have the same problems that car has.
I bought a used 2008 G6 GT 3.5 in 2008 in college. I bought it with 18,000 miles on it. It now has 78,000 miles. Other than regular maintenance, I just recently had a water pump leak. That’s fixed. Had to fix headlight connector on drivers side. The driver door trunk release button fell into the door. Both visor clips broke. Other than that, it still drives really well [knock on wood.] I want to get a paint job soon. Its a very quick car. I love it.
07 g6 2.4. 178,000 miles on it and running strong. My flex pipe broke, starter, alternator, and my rear tail lights illuminate when my brake pedal isnt pushed. Radio quit playing cds, and paint flaked off so i upgraded. Great car other than that!!
I own a 2006 G6 base with 165k miles and the electric power steering allows my steering wheel rock side to side without moving the wheels right away in park, the open trunk button will sometimes work, my cigarette lighter chargers don’t power most accessories, my trunk pistons can’t hold the trunk up, and I think I’ll need to replace the front or back seal. Otherwise minus the small little problems it’s an alright car.
I have some of the same problems. 2007 V6, 70k miles. 2 blown speakers, CD won't eject, paint on buttons worn off, driver seat rattles, broken driver seat back, 2 head gaskets, 4 coolant crossover gaskets, 2 worn key fobs, and all kinds of front suspension problems. Far from perfect but overall still a great car.
Tanah Merah how much did the head gasket job cost?
My transmission has gone out twice in my G6. I still like the car, I’m at 96k miles rn and my family has had it since new in 2006. They gave it to me when I got my license. It’s a cool car but lots of parts go bad.
Nice. I've liked the design since the original concept. It doesn't blend in to me and is still fresh looking compared to today's contemporaries.
I received my 2008 G6 with the 2.4 from my brother in law and it has 290,000 miles. The issues it has is the turn signal stalk not returning or engaging properly, one of the washer fluid sprayers doesn't work, and the left rear door doesn't lock automatically. Also there's a huge rust through spot on the left rocker panel and tiny rust bubbling on the right rocker, popping noise on take off, clunking over bumps and flex pipe leak. Other than that, it runs and drives great. Definitely love driving it.
My car doesnt have any of these issues even tho it only has 224k miles. I guess I'll see when I get closer to your mile marker.
My 3.5 liter v6 g6 gr8 coupe runs great. No steering issue. Valve cover gasket needs replacement. I changed one headlight bulb and a s signal bulb. Of course the usual brakes, rotors. Monsoon stereo 6 CD changer works great. Clear coat paint is peeling on bumpers. Car runs like a charm but have very low miles on it. Leather interior in good shape. Heat ..AC...works perfectly. Any major issues and it will be time for a new car. Hopefully not for a few years as I love my G6 coupe.
I bought a 2009 Pontiac G6 that has the redesigned front bumper/grill and the redesigned gauge cluster with the newer radio and climate controls. It is maroon red in color and has 162,XXX miles on it. The issues I have had with the car so far is the seat belt sensor went out making the seat belt light stay on in the dash even though I am buckled in. The trunk release button on mine also does not work like yours. The engine does consume oil, but slowly. There is also a sensor out in the engine that I can't remember what it's called. Might be the same one that went out on yours. Other than those things, the car runs and drives really good.
I own a base 2009 2.4 with 127,000 miles on it, i’ve put a cold air intake on it and it made it a pretty responsive and quick little engine, as well as some cosmetic upgrades. The back of the passenger seat is falling off but that’s about the only problem with the interior. I’ve replaced the brake pads and rotors on the front as well as wheel bearings. I’ve also had to replace the torque sensors for the electric power steering. Other than that it’s been a fun car.
My tie rod and sway bar needed replacement at $130,000 miles. $630. My oil did drain out once. I filled it back up and no issue sense. My radio display has the word brake constantly. Had to change my thermastat once. Very dependable car.
Dang where did you take your car to get your tie end rod and sway bar fixed? Tie end rod for just one cost about 20 dollars an installation is 50 dollars. Even after changing one an needing an alignment it still dont come up to 630 dollars. I got an 06 g6 gtp 3.9 had over 2 years. Got it with only 147, 000 an now i got 220, 000.
I just bought an '06 GTP convertible a few weeks ago. I'm really enjoying it so far but I'm having it looked at next week because it's developed this underhood rattle at initial startup... other than that it runs beautifully and is already getting compliments. :)
What was the problem and cost ?
Me when I see a Pontiac or Saturn: "those don't exist anymore"
2007 G6 280,000 I also had the steering wheel shake and power steering go out intermittently. Ended up being in the recall list and got it fixed for free. So ya overall good car, Been a good commuter car
I have had my 06 g6 v6 for a year now. It is from a buy here pay here lot, (needed a car for my delivery job asap cause of axle snapping on previous car). Got it right under 145,000 miles and now at 177,000. But out of all my vehicles over owned this is the WORST. It has recently became a death trap. In the past year I replaced both front hub assembly's, outer tie rods, power steering pump (going out again already), starter, water pump, and the whole brake system. Drive window doesnt roll down, passenger going out too, My sway bar links are broke, car doesn't like to start again after driving a short distance, have to give the car some gas same time as starting it, exhaust leak (big hole towards the front), hard time with acceleration, no power in the engine anymore. Changed the spark plugs and nothing changed. My car will jerk on me if I'm going around a left curve, and when accelerating between 35-40 my car jerks to the right if I let off the gas. Car shakes going 55 so I refuse to drive interstate.. I have two babies and every time I have to put them in that car I'm scared to drive it. But cant afford a new vehicle. I've had to tow this car multiple times due to leaving me stranded.. (2 days after having my son in august the water pump busted while driving) I will never own another G6.
I have the 2006. The power steering recall was pretty rough for me. thankful the dealer fixed it.... after nearly getting into an accident because my steering wheel locked up on on the freeway..... sadly that's is the primary issues I've had with it. freeway driving even after the fix and about 20k miles in on the repair... it still shakes and raddled at higher speeds. my model has cruse control although the issue with having it is the button placement. It constantly turn on which is a little annoying. I haven't been able to identify if its my hand placement on the wheel or if its just turning on on its own. I also have the issues with the drivers seat. I'm having an emissions issue and need to find out what the cause is to pass smog. I'm hoping its just an o2 sensor, but after having a mechanic look into it, diagnosing and replacing it as the fuel pump they broke when taking off and that not being the issue.... they pretty much did a bypass so it could passed and claimed they fixed it. but shortly after the obd scanner came right back with the same error codes. that has been more than disappointing because I'm coming up on another smog. I will look into what you mentioned though about the flex pipe. I ran into an issue with the fuel filler neck breaking and not even the dealer having anything but after market parts to replace it in my area, and it breaking again with those parts, still functionality but broken none the less. The engine itself seems to be doing great though. My biggest issues has been not having my own garage to work on it myself and multiple mechanics including the dealer not having the best luck in fixing it and having to come back again and again. I'm a little over 210,000 miles and bought it at 90k. love the car and would have loved to keep it for another 100k or more but the electronic power steering issue coming back that quickly has got me in the market for a new car. thanks for the video so much! its kind of helped me make a decision on for temporary fixes in the mean time, knowing that these are just common issues for this make and model.
Man I miss my 2006 G6 GT. I feel bad for trading it in. Especially cause I saw that a new person bought it and they got crashed into. I treated that car good and now it’s in the hands of someone who doesn’t.
07 G6 3.5 with 59000. I’ve had headlights issues also. I wound up having to replace some part can’t remember the name. I’ve gone through numerous radiators. Never ending Oil leak issues . Funny you said about that rust. I live in northeast and the paint is starting to peel behind the back door in same spot but I thought it was because I had body work there. As far as annoyances I wish it had factory satellite radio. With all that said I like the car It’s never stranded me or needed a tow. Runs great and is pretty quick ( no speeding tickets thought haha)nice video btw thanks
Do u still have yours?
@@sunshinelove364 yes it’s still going. . Latest drama is the a/c .
Love my G6, I get 28mpg avg with full synthetic oil
How? Do you just drive down hill?
@@Martin333 that's what i want to know. I use mobile 1 high mileage synthetic. Add Lucas an since gas is some what cheap. I use premium gas at shell. The highest i ever seen mines get was 21.4 an it drops down the lowest i seen is 17.1 but i was using regular oil and shell regular gas with lucas every once in a while.
I have a 2007 3.5L GT, bought it new and now has 164,000 miles. Problems thus far: Had to replace headlight sockets twice. Panoramic roof is currently broken, will always open, won’t always close. The power sun shield has no tension and hangs loose. The drivers seat back is broken like yours. CD player will not eject cd without using another CD as a pry bar to get the other out. Paint is flaking off most used radio buttons. Trunk release button on driver door just stopped working. Cruise control works intermittently(drives me nuts as my daily work commute is 84 miles of highway driving). My driver side sun visor falls off and hits me in the face when driving over train tracks(I cut it off). My air bag light on dash has been on since car hit 100,000 miles. Now passenger airbag light stays off when passenger riding in car. Drivers seat belt light and dinger goes off when driving with seat belt fastened. Transmission went out at 120,000 miles, had it rebuilt. Just replaced all 4 shocks/struts, lower control arms/ball joints, sway bar end links(for the second time), tie rod inners, tie rod outlets. Rocker panels are rusting through. Other than that, it’s been a great car and consistently gets 24 miles per gallon average.
I have a Pontiac g6 2007. It works good, or actually - not bad - but there are few issues I need to ask about, if you don't mind. First the milage on it more than 221000 miles. There's oil leaking, I don't know exactly from where, plus there's oil on the pipes of the Shakman. But it drives good. And I hope to tell you more advices than what I asked because I'm not very clever with cars, and this the only car I have. Thank you so much.
Sorry, I hope you tell me more advices than I asked for...
I have the 2007 G6 GT convertible V6 3.5L and am in love with my car! So comfortable, rides smooth as butter. Great car! The only thing I wish it had is a middle back seat.
My ex wife had bought a 06 g6 gt convertible black. Look nice and rode good. I was so impressed i went an bought me an 06 g6 gtp 4 door panoramic roof. I am really happen with this car. I got it with 150k now I'm at 190k rides good still. Im happy with it
I have a 09 g6 that just hit 242,000 miles. Still runs great even in Michigan winter. Only issue I had was battery leaking a couple years ago, but other than that no other problems.
Elizabeth Pasciolla 226k In Detroit
Mine is also over 242,000, outside of the Steering torque converter and a plugged converter, everything else has been regular maint.
I have a 2008 G6.
The only problems I’ve experienced with mine are
1. Electrics
2. Key startup button (don’t get those)
3. Quarter sized hole in my muffler, damn
4. 3rd gear
5. Alignment
6. My key won’t open the trunk, thereof if the electrics aren’t wanting to work then neither will the trunk open
7. Rust near the doors. Mostly my drivers door
These are all problems that can be fixed. I love the car overall. But sometimes it will either work just fine or it doesn’t start up at all
How many miles? I just picked up an '08 g6 with 118k
how much mileage does it have?
Thank you for your video man. I'm in the market to buy one and I was looking to get the 3.5 G6. 👍🏿
Did you ever get one?
Derek Perez ^
Melinated Greatness I’m a current 3.5 owner. Pretty reliable car
@@MrLAKAIGUY123 how are you enjoying your car? I plan to get one in march.
Sunshine Love I love it so far. Just tinted it to 18% made a big difference
I have the exact same car in red and I replaced that trunk button not to long ago and it fixed my problem, I’ve also encountered rust but it has been wrecked once and a terrible paint job was put on it, I honestly love the 6g so much I just have a small oil leak from the rear main seal but I’m about to rebuild the engine (because I want to not because it needs it) here pretty soon
Btw it’s got 180,000
God bless you thanks for the video, it was right on time for me and coincidently I live in Chicago too!
Were u also gonna get a G6 or u changed your mind?
I’ve got a 2008 Pontiac G6 bass model with the 2.4 EcoTec engine and 4 speed automatic trans. The car currently has 98k miles on it. It’s probably one of the last GM vehicles I’ll ever own. I bought it a year ago with 78k miles on it. I’ve had to replace the cam sensors due to a timing issue and rough idle. It ran good for a few miles and started running rough again. I took the valve cover off and inside I noticed that the timing chain guide had broken loose and the chain was running along it. I immediately stopped driving it until my appointment to get the timing chain replaced. $800 out the door. Not too long after that, the transmission speed sensor started giving erratic readings making the speedometer jump around and the transmission wasn’t shifting right. I had to limp it back home, pick up the sensor, and replace it myself. The electronic power steering would randomly throw a code and stop working (replaced under recall). The back door locks don’t actuate electronically anymore, both locking mechanisms need to be replaced. The truck button stopped working, due to corrosion. I fixed that myself. The A/C barely works and a recharge didn’t make any difference so I’m guessing the compressor is just about shot. If I run it, I end up with 3 inches of water in my back seat floor due to a design flaw with the condensation drain under the car.
Comparing to my 2000 Chevy Tahoe, I’ve owned that since 2017 and bought it for $1150 with 315k miles on it. It currently has 370k miles on it and all I’ve had to replace was the power steering pump (original), and the thermostat (original). Everything else has been regular maintenance and wear items. Anyway, if you’re thinking about buying any GM vehicle built around the time of the bailout or after, turn around and run.
I also forgot to add, the steering intermediate shaft on the G6 is completely shot and about to break. Apparently GM didn’t find it necessary to recall this even though it could cause someone to get killed. A quick google search proves that this is a common problem. Supposedly Dorman May have recalled the part and will reimburse the dealer for the cost of the repairs. I have to call them soon and verify before buying the intermediate shaft and replacing it myself.
I have 2009 base. It has 166k been in the family since day one with 15mi. It still gets good mpg. 25-35.
Ha my trunk release button is broken too lol
Lmao mine as well

@zenturious yessir lmao
You can pop that apart with a small screw driver and clean the corrosion off. I did that and got mine working again but I’ll probably end up replacing it anyway.
Mine is broken as well. Ughh
The pant on the radio flaked of a lot on mine
I have a G6 and the seat pegs on my has also fallen out my seat and it’s hanging off trunk open button is also not working.
Ever fix the seat peg? How?
I just bought a 2009 g6. Has 136,000 miles. Air and heat still work. I love it so far. But does have a p0446 code. But still drives great. And mines has cruise control.
I have 2009.5 Pontiac G6 and it has been a great vehicle. I had to replace all 4 wheels with steel rims/vs/aluminum because every-time I turned around my tires would go flat after putting 4 new tires on car. It has been a great vehicle.
Oh snap i just replace my rear passenger rim after several tires going flat while driving. Till i look an seen rim bent. Of course tire shop ain't gone say nothing more money for them. But i went to pull a part an got me another rim with a good tire on it. Infact the car rides even better now when i first got the car. All cause of a bent rim.
My wife has a 2008 Pontiac G6 GT. We had to replace the ECU a couple of years ago. That was an expense. It has a surge that we've been experiencing for the last several thousand miles. I'll be replacing the coils and plugs soon to levitate that. It has 102,000 miles on it.
I’ve had about all the same issues on my v6 model. Great vid!
I have a 2007 Pontiac g6 v6 with about 91,000 miles on it. The car rides pretty good still. I’ve replaced the muffler, the middle flex pipe connector, the battery, brakes and the radio. I’m planning on replacing the spark plugs and wires after I get the throttle body cleaned. I’m having a problem with the passenger headlight still after I replaced the harness and bulb
Buying a 2008 G6 GT 3.5L V6 in a couple days with 160k miles. Really excited all new power steering pump and struts and rockers. New lines and hoses too. No rust underneath I'll update once I drive it for a while!
Any problems?
@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 Only problem I've had is a shit alignment that I haven't had time to look at and my windshield wipers broke but that was winter's fault haha. Good car at 265,000kms
Oh, and the transmission does weird things when you're below 1500rpm on very steep hills in a high gear. Believe it is failing to downshift until you floor it or let off
I had an Impala, which is basically the same thing, that ate my CD's as well. Damn GM radios
I have a 2007 g6 GT convertible with a 3.9L V6, I've had to replace my spark plug wiring, a seal on the gasket head, and the passenger side rear break lines started to leak onto the rotors throwing off my traction control. The headlights have always been a problem for me, I ended rewiring both of them. Let me tell you getting those headlight fixtures in and out is the most annoying thing on that car.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 convertible hard top it's a v 6 I really haven't figured out the manual mode of the dual transmission but it's a fun car very smooth I love how it transforms when going from convertible or not it's like a transformer car. Has great power we love it
Had to replace power steering at 212k but I was using in excess for parking. Timing chain about 2yrs ago. Blinker switch and truck latch broken rubber seals are cracking any evap solenoid giving me hell but 215k miles and still rolling. Oh and yes have replaced headlight plug about 30.00.. 2009 base model
I got 230163 miles on my 05 same rust area control arms feel pump radiator hoses and leaks from oil pan.
Just bought a Pontiac G6 last week for $1100, could’ve easily fished out another 3 grand for it, I think it’s going to treat me well, fast little car
Dished
As for not being able to drain the fluid have you checked the bottom of your radiator?
There is a release valve at the bottom of my 2009 radiator on the passenger side.
You have to take the airdamn off to see it
06 g6 v6... 666... but best investment. Bought it with 145k. Bought it with extremely bad suspension pulled hard and shook. Rebuilt the front suspension and had an evap issue where a plastic connector broke. Other then that great car. At 155k and in the middle of mods.
My 3.5 liter 07 has been running me for 250,000 miles almost zero problems and no rust
Just bought a 2009 4cyl version for $2000 from a good buddie. Has 114k miles and man this thing is smooth. Interior is great to look at and it isn’t the worst looking car ever. Very happy with my purchase.
That's a steal, enjoy it.
The power steering was a very common thing for the Pontiacs. Possible even a recall but I've towed many for it.
Yes, whoever designed that system should be shot!
With that said. Do NOT buy a 2006 G6 lmao. They have had the MOST issues for the power steering out of all years. Just a heads up for anyone
There is a extended recall for it. Its the Steering Wheel Torque Sensor that goes bad. GM has extended the warranty for the part to 150,000 miles
I have 2008 g6 and EPS is going in and out.if it goes out and I shut car off then start it again,starts working again.called gm and had him run VIN- one page online said no recalls,other said 5.gm guy told me 3 recalls had been serviced- I'm a female and guy seemed irritated I'm not your normal car stupid female- online I saw it said there is lifetime replacement on one,so dreading calling him back to tell him or ask if this would be the recall covered for life...so before I do this is it possible its a fuse in either under hood EPS fuse or in cabin fuse maybe- or sensor and that's why its going in and out?single mom and know this guy is gonna try and play the game I a chick and dumb and argue about it if it is covered.smh
My trunk release button was intermittent and then quit working entirely, extremely easy fix as all I did was pop the bottom of the door panel off (I had someone hold it from the top so we didn't have to remove it entirely) and was able to put a new button in. Has worked 1st push each time.
Im considering making an offer on a 08 wit 150k needs front end work and the rear bumper is cracked. Interior is good still need to test drive. Great video. Very clear without notes.💪🏿
I have a 2009 and my truck won't open with the botton it loud and you said flex pipe I'm going to check it tomorrow thanks this was helpful
Should I get This Vehicle (2010 Pontiac G6 Sedan) with 177,830 miles?
My biggest issues I'm having with my 2008 G6 GXP Street Edition is my left high beam doesn't work, my Transmission is leaking, and I need to replace a Downstream 02 Sensor sometime soon, I guess that's not bad...I have over 256,000 miles on it LOL
I have an 06' GO and my trunk release button is messed up, the trunk latch is broken so I have to slam it several times to shut it. My plastic on my seat is coming off too due to my 3 year old.
i have 2009 with 110k
had to replace all suspension parts at 100k stabilizer, links tie rods, bushings, controk arms, but at around 85-90k miles. Also i have had similar issue... im on my third flex pipe both happening around 70k and 100k plus the resonator. At 95k a motor mount replaced. But i treat this car like my baby i do a lot of preventative stuff to the car i mean truthfully most suspension parts could have been pushed but at 100k i did fresh everything tires suspension. flushed fluids yada yada. Overall this car has been my favorite yet and i plan to keep it for many more miles never been broken down on the side of the road on long road trips nor on a flatbed!!!
Have a 2009 G6 as well. Same items had to be replaced. Maybe unique to 2009 model?
I feel you. I have an 06 g6 gtp 3.9. I have replaced every suspension part and the control arms is next even though this the 3rd time in 2 years. Had warranty on control arms so i just had to pay for labor. Of course tires and preventative stuff like tune up and oil change.
Well Pontiac ownership looks good
I like the video I just got a G6 I have 313 000 miles I hope to enjoy it very much so thank you
It's very rare for a G6 to have a working CD player. Very common problem for them
Didn’t know that. My 2008 G6 GT CD player works fine. I’ve had it since 2008. The Monsoon stereo system it came with from the factory is damn impressive.
@@levillarrea go to Carcomplaints.com and look at the 2006 G6, will list all the problems and it's so accurate because my car has had almost all of them. I use this site for anyone who's buying a car.. makes it easier to dodge a lemon year
Tomorrow I'm also changing another control arm and this will be my 5th one since 2014 😂
I have one as well, there vary nice reliable cars, I have 210 000 Km on my 2007 4D 3.5l GT, and I have had almost no issues the I couldn’t fix myself. If something is broken like a trunk button or blinker switch. See if u can find a video online on how to do it and buy/ get a part of a wrecked one in a wreckers
WhateverItTakes yeah the stock speakers are pretty good for stock, I have friends who replaced there speakers and my stock GM ones are still louder
Own a 2009 G6 base model. CD not working, swaybar, outer tie rod end changed. Recently loosing power and accelerating slow, upon check the guy gave me a $1400 fix. Problem is in variable camshaft timing solenoid or/and spark plug. I am also wondering a bad exhaust would cause the same too.
In my old G6 I sold, my AC quit, transmission was awful, power steering went out, blinker was broken, paint was chipping inside and out, cruise control stopped working. Overall I’m glad I sold it but definitely got my use out of it.
You can get cheap aftermarket cruise controls. I have the same model, and I have an aftermarket one. It works great.
