NHTSA — Seats Problems

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 is starting to have the same problems as previous model years, including the headlights blowing out due to bad connectors.

The wiring harness connections aren't a big deal to replace, as long as your dealer or mechanic doesn't charge you an arm & a leg to "diagnose" the problem.

The passenger seat airbag sensor does not sense an occupant and does not deactivate if the sensor is made. The car leaks water during rain storms profusely from drain lines connected to the body work under the headliner. The lines become disconnected at the joints due to poor design. Water leaks onto the seatbelts and curtain airbags. The floor behind the passenger seat becomes wet as well. In the past there was a recall for aftermarket seat upgrades in this car that were authorized by the manufacturer that cause this fault in the airbag sensor. The water leaking causes electrical malfunctions in the interior lighting on the headliner as well as it causes mold to grow in the carpet due to the water becoming stagnant. This particular car has many documented design faults that would cause water intrusion such as poor air conditioning drainage causes water to back up inside the car. As well as leaking from poor sunroof sealing. The vehicle leaks primarily when stationary. The airbag sensor malfunctions while the car in moving and when park is engaged.

I have a 2009 Pontiac G6 gxp 4 door sedan. My wife and I bought the car on March of this year 2017. When we purchased the car used. The car drove smooth even though it had 127,000 miles. The only thing we didn't check was the driver front seat. When I tried adjusting my seat upward the seat begins to lean side ways towards the middle console to the point its rubbing on it. I took it to the GM dealer they look at it and told me that the main metal bar frame is broken. That I needed a new replacement seat. They quoted me $1000. I contacted Pontiac and they refuse to address it. Because of the mileage on the vehicle. Please help me. I can't afford the $1000 for a new seat.

Yesterday, in the above-mentioned vehicle, I was making a left turn at about 25 miles per hour when the driver's seat and my body shifted abruptly and radically. I almost lost complete control of my car, but, fortunately, I avoided having an accident by braking to a quick stop. I immediately took the car to the car dealership where I had purchased it, sherwood delray beach, and had the service department examine the car for the problem. They diagnosed the problem and advised me that the seat base (anchor) was broken or otherwise defective and that had been the cause of the above described incident. I purchased the vehicle in April 2009 and the odometer is now approximately 32,500 miles. The vehicle has been used strictly for general light-duty personal use since it was purchased, has been meticulously maintained, and has not been in any accidents of any kind whatsoever. I know of no possible reason why this driver?S seat base/anchor has broken or otherwise failed other than it is defective. Therefore, it is my belief that this is a bone fide safety defect in this model automobile which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death. Accordingly, I am reporting this issue to you for you to investigate. Updated IVOQ 11/15/12
