problem #5

2008Dec 17

G6 2.4L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

This electonic issue began happening randomly and resulted in my car shifting VIOLENTLY. It was worrisome, but when turned off the car resets in some way (electronicly) and the issue would be gone completely for days or weeks. I had more than one occasion that I started it the harsh shifting began and so I drove straight to the dealer, turned the car off only to find the issue absent so the dealer could fix nothing. I had to have the issue occuring and leave the car running for the dealer to find it (or so they said). They called it an issue with the electronic transmission actutator. It has been fixed for some 30k miles now without furthur problems.

It seems like GM won't be doing anything NOW since they went bankrupt!!!! This sucks because it's my only transportation. I really don't have the money to fix, I'm afraid what they're going to charge me to get it fix. THANX A LOT GM!!! FOR MAKING CRAPY ASS CARS!!!! I'LL MAKE DAMN SURE I DON'T BUY ANOTHER G6 OR ANOTHER GM CAR!!! I'm going to buy a foreign car from now on!!

Every time, it shifts gears the car jerks me back. When you turn on the car it jerks it forward. When you go from Park to reverse to drive it jerks it forward also. What is wrong with my car? Auto Zone said it was a camshaft position sensor. I don't know anything about cars, can anyone help me?

Trany,seat belt assembly,brakes,wiper motor,squeaky seat from day one,steering/suspension,rigidy/pits in my pillar next to the sunroof, window motors cont. to wind after being up, info. system never is right, heat/air doesn't come out of vents properly on settings. I Am getting depressed. Nough for now. I talked a good friend out of buying a used one for his daughter off to school. She got a Jetta.
I hope a GM rep. contacts me.
