2005 Pontiac G6 review from North America
"This car has a lot of glitches"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car, from time to time, will not start. I have to jump start the battery (even though it is fully charged) to get the car to start. I now carry a portable battery jumper (first time I've ever had to do this).
The CD player does not work, I cannot even get my Cd's out of it.
I took it to the dealer to be fixed, asked for a loaner car which they provided through a rental car place. They called me the next day and told me they could not find anything wrong with it, and didn't want to pay any more rental car fees, and to come pick it up.
The trim peeled off the side.
The driver door does not stay open. When I open it, I then must hurriedly jump out of the way as it slams shut.
General comments?
This is probably the biggest lemon I have ever owned.
However, it is a cool looking car, especially with the sun roof opened all the way. I like the way it drives (when it starts), and it accelerates beautifully, which comes in handy because I tend to pull out in front of people.
