172k on my G6 and she's still rocking. Had the BCM connector issue as well as the turn signal issue. Total about $40 bucks spent on the fixes. I'm gonna drive this thing until the wheels fall off lol

I can't believe you guys didn't go over the oil leaks. Intake gaskets, oil filter adaptor, oil pan. 😆 you guys took the easy way out

I bought an 06 G6 3 years ago with 30,000 miles!!! It was super low mileage and I love it, I’ve taken super good care of it and I’ve only had to replace the turn signal switch but it only took 15minutes! It’s a great car!

Only thing that I would add is the headlights. The cheap wiring breaks and one or both lights go out... intermittently. You need to go buy the pigtails and solder the new ones in.

2:10 I actually love that it doesn't automatically get rid of the turn signal because sometimes in other cars it removes too quickly and with the g6 I have control on when to get rid of the signal.

Forgot the lower control arms and sway bar links they wear out quick

Really helped me out I now own two g6 and one of them is having many of these problems both of my g6 still have less than 60 k miles too!!

My first car was a G6. I did not take good care of it and that vehicle gave me nothing but love. I miss the Duchess

i have an 07 G6 and it’s needed a few repairs but all under $900 but 160k miles later and 18 years and it’s still going strong and love it

Very good and simple solutions/prevention to these 5 problems! Thank you!!!

Melting power steering hoses: One significant issue worth noting is on G6's that have hydraulic power steering (as opposed to electric power steering). I had a G6 GT 3.5L V6. The power steering lines both run right under the rear exhaust manifold. And when I say right under I mean RIGHT under it. When the engine is under load and it tilts back, that rear exhaust manifold leans back and TOUCHES the power steering hoses. The hoses have some heat shields on them but those are worthless against the super hot exhaust. My power steering hoses melted all the way through one day and out went all my power steering fluid onto the ground. This happened while I was driving, so I lost all power steering assistance. I was able to replace the hoses and secure them down with some zip ties. This held the hoses at least a couple inches away from the exhaust, but I wish there was a better design for that. Every drive after that, I had to worry if it was about to melt again. Just something to watch out for and ask about any service history on that issue.

This video proves there are good ppl out there posting accurate helpful information because the BCM thing was my problem and this worked

Wow! I have several of the problems you listed. My blinker has always been wonky. My wheel bearing is howling and my power steering quit working after I slid off the road the other day. The code reader says "lost communication with power steering control."

Had 3 G6s in my life and i loved them all. Last one I had was a GT sedan with the panoramic sunroof which I LOVED! Had almost 300k miles on it and never had a single issue besides having to replace a wheel bearing. Have a G8 GT now but would like another G6 for winters

I came here because my local dirt tracks (2) in a 25 km radius) has started up a new division and vast majority of cars are g6 cars. But can be any v6 sombody is selling one down the road from me so I’m trying to find out what to look for. Thanks for the video 👍👍 Take care

This is a good video I just recommend describing more about the specific colons to replace for the powersteering and also the sensors other wise some good stuff I'm learning more and more with my g6

I feel better every time I see one of these videos. I own a 2006 Pontiac coupe and my only problem is the blinker thing. And the general problems just don't seem to be a major threat and or easy to fix

Just sold my 05 G6. 200k and still running like a champ. Never had any issues with it. The northeast winters just had other plans with the body!

I have a 2006 G6 V6 3.5 and i have had to change out the blinker switch, replaced starter, replaced fuel pump, and i have had the transmission rebuilt, but my car runs great now. I love the power that my G6 has it will get up and go.

Thank you for this! 👏

I used this video to help inform of of a 2007 G6 GT Coupe purchase 🙂 not exactly the car in the video, but certainly enough similarities to take note!

my 2005 pontiac g6 has had every single one of these problems minus the turn signal switch. great car tho. 330k miles and still going! also the electrical steering going out was fixed for free at the dealer due to a recall.

Hi I saw your video very interesting. Can you tell me where is located the coolant sensor code P128 for the Pontiac G6 2008 most appreciated

I've owned 2 of these sub models and when the internal voltage regulator goes out inside the ALTERNATOR, the body control module freaks out under hard acceleration and you lose power steering, in addition to the instrument panel resetting, until you remove your foot from the hard acceleration. In both cases I opted for an UPGRADED alternator instead of and OEM replacement, and have NEVER had a problem after. In severe cold whether starts, the charging voltage can be high, causing you the steering to act nervous but after a few minutes of warm up, your fine.

Coworker had one of these and the transmission just gave up on him one day getting on the highway. It was pretty cold that day, but still come on Pontiac.

I have a 2010 and i really haven’t had no problems had it since 2014 it’s getting old but runs great

Mine won't start unless I wiggle the wiring harness right below the BCM connector. Why? Square red one plugged to the fuse box. Will unplugging it and putting that grease stuff you said on it fix it. Or does something need replaced. Already changed battery and starter. Thought that was it but still when it doesn't start I just wiggle and it starts. Milage dissapears when it doesn't start and lights on dash light up. Remote start doesn't work anymore either not sure if it's related or not

What is the difference between dielectric grease that you use on a 12v system and a low voltage dielectric grease? Can you recommend a product?

Having a problem with a 2009 g6. It won’t start. Not on account of an engine problem but an electric problem it cranks but then shuts off. While trying to start, the anti theft symbol pops up on the dash and when the key is released the car shuts off. My mechanic cleaned the points on the BCM and that worked for a few miles. It can be started again after removing the batter cables from the terminals and then putting them back on. Recently it has had new valve cover gaskets installed and there was an issue with a clogged brake line. And the starter has been replaced. What might be the problem? Thanks for any information.

I had an 07 as my first car, I loved it. Most reliable car I've ever had. My Malibu that replaced it was junk

I have a 2010 4cil 2.4l it gave me issuses sometimes it would start with no prob and then it wouldn't start after using it till it cooled down but the temp wouldnt go above 200. Ive changed the starter solenoid and kept on doing the same now it wont start. Im about to check the relays, any tips u can give me on what the issue might be??? Please and thatnks

I have an 06 G6 GTP Convertible. It is making a loud squealing noise when you hit the gas.The guy I bought it from says its an exhaust issue. It has thrown some code related to the O2 sensors. P0171 and PO174 also P0102, P0106 and then a random misfire P0300. It doesn't make any noise while idling. The noise itself to me sounds like a loud vacuum issue not exhaust. I've looked under the hood and haven't been able to find the issue. Any ideas of where I can look. I have decent mechanical skills, I built and repaired cars for GM for 34 yrs. I actually worked at the plant this car was built but transferred prior to the G6. Thanks

Thank you!

HELP HELP HELP PLEASE .So I have an 05 g6 gt. Sometimes it wont start. I replaced battery, still does it. Replaced starter, still does it. Finally figured out when it doesnt start if I wiggle the wiring harness plugged to the fuse box right below the back connector it starts. Why? Help. It's the red square below the blue bcm thing. Do I need a new fuse box or do I need to replace the wiring harness I wiggle?

I have 2 of the 5 problems you listed, I have the 3.5 Engine. I had to change the Water pump twice.

Hey I have a 2006 g6 gtp. I’m currently getting the door lock and unlock going crazy when I take it out of park. But as soon as it goes back in park they stop going crazy. Then it also won’t shift passed 3rd. Even when I stick it in slapstick to try and shift out of 3rd I get an error on the dash where the gears are displayed. As well as a crazy idle. Also, my cluster gauges move up and down like crazy when driving.

great video. i refer to your vids when we have problems with the G6. here are a couple of problems we think may be related to the BCM. The power locks don't normally work, and I say "normally" because they worked for about a minute on two occasions in the past 3 years. lol. Also we cannot engage the TPMS setup on the DIC. We were told it might be a problem with the BCM and we should clean the connections. So with that said, which dielectric grease would you recommend?

Looking for a video on replacement of the RCDLR. Is this soemthing that you have covered. Thanks

A repeat customer came in with their recently purchased boneyard G6 for new tires, front bearings and CV axles. Lss, the end of the axle that goes in the trans was too long on the new one and it popped out of the trans at the customer's place of employment so I had to go out there yesterday with another new one of a different design and it went in real nice, snapped into place and didn't come out again. Some cars are hard to order parts for.

G6 gt 2007 on 214k miles, so far I had a serpentine belt torn to shreds due to a/c pulley stalling, replaced exhaust system due to human error lol, replaced return line on rack and pinion due to it routing and pressing against exhaust burning a hole through it (that was a pain to fix but it was my first time), some grounding issues causing a bunch of lights on my hud, alternator going bad, o2 sensor replaced, and yeah I think more but IT STILL RUNS. Thankfully and I did it all by hand no mechanics and I ain’t even that knowledgeable on cars 👍🏼

My Pontiac still rolling after 14yrs 🤞🏽🙌🏽

What happens if I accidentally put power steering fluid in the DOT 3 compartment. I have a 06 Pontiac G6 GT.

I have the turn signal problem in my G6, if I just buy a new turn signal knob will it fix the problem?

Consider yourself blessed

as well as front struts and hsad gasket which did it in.

Wow I had no idea there were two different dielectric grease products.

My turn signal doesn’t shut off when I turn but you didn’t give the solution did you? Can you do a video on the convertible pretty please? Mine worked fine but now I’m getting a “check cargo top” message when I’m trying to get the top down.. Check cargo top where and how?

Anybody know how to tell if a dielectric grease is low voltage or not? A search doesn't show me an answer.

you should make it top ten cause there are plenty of issues. like the shifting linkage, the oil leaks, And The plastic heater lever under the dash that switches it from hot to cold. I have 260 thousand on mine and I do have to say the car still feels tight {like new} and runs great handles good to

Mine has 170,000 miles, none of this has happened yet, counting my blessings, and accepting that something will happen sooner or later

I own the 2010 and have had to have my transmission solenoids replaced and seen it in a lot of the g6's

My G6 dashboard says “ERROR” and won’t turn over.. replaced battery but won’t start. Could it be the bcm or bad ground cable(s)?

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 that currently won't start. It smokes a bit of white smoke under the hood. Can anyone tell me if that would be the alternator??

Please can someone recommend me some tips? 2008 pontiac g6 gt truck is not working with the trunk button on car door or my remote. I already checked the fuse in the rear and it is fine. Any one have recommendations? Thank you, for reading and your help.

I am having trouble with front and rear running lights I will try fixing the connector as you say

I have a 07 currently 216 thousands miles the transmission won't shift to the last gear, I have a noise when I turn the steering wheel then also when I'm on a bumpy road I got bunch of noise on both sides I'm thinking is the wheel bearing I could be wrong

Please help there’s a crunching noise by my driver front wheel on my 2006 Pontiac g6se 2.4l you can hear it when you go forward or in reverse it has 183 thousand miles on it

2005 and replaced starter and it starts up,will go a few blocks then dies. Battery is fine. Do I need a alternator?

Could you guys make a video on how to replace a window spray nozzle on the Pontiac g6

VVT solenoids here, check light comes on and off. Bank 1 code P0011. 3.5 v6 so the intake, belt, and water pump will need to come off to install. Also loud whistling from underneath exhaust when accelerating past 2 rpm’s, hope it’s a simple gasket fix

Been trying to find out for months why my tail lights won't work. Now I know it's the bcm. Thank you!

Does some the Pontiac G6 can be automatic and standard too?

I have a 07 gt coupe. I have the turn signal issue. How do you fix that? Also have a sun roof. No leaks in cabin, but with heavy rain water gets in my trunk and radio speakers ho crazy, won't stop loud noise even after turning off the ignition. Once it ceases radio lights up but no sound until next day, and all is back to normal. I guess wires are getting wet. Where is the water coming from? Thx

I got my G6 handed down to me with about 120k on it, i’ve had to replace the solenoids, power steering sensor, and turn signal switch all in the last 2 years. Overall it could be worse, and it’s been a pretty reliable car!

What brand do you recommend for the low voltage dielectric grease. I am having trouble finding low voltage. What should I buy?

Hey I have 05 g 6 and I changed relays n fuses to the whispers and even new motor n still nothing could it be the thang by fuse box u just showed us

My G6 just died at 205,000 very reliable up to that point

How do I make all my brakes lights to go off ?? I need help

Personal opinion but any dielectric grease on the BCM connector is better than none and even the cheap stuff will last you 4-6 months. But why aren't the front control arms mentioned? It greatly effects how the car drives once the bushings or balljoints fail. If your G6 displays faults for ESC, Traction Control, Cruise Control doesn't work, or your Brake lights don't work properly, then clean your BCM connections and apply dielectric grease and it should all go away.

Is the steering column sensor issue a replace and wait for it to go out again or is there a more permitted fix for this problem? That sensor was replaced under warranty from Pontiac and it has failed again.

I have 2007 g6 and i am having problems. Shifting its slow or won't move out the second gear or third. One time i didn't take my feet off the petal and it finally shift to the next gear. Is VVT solenoid my problem? I have headlights problems replace the bulb so many time.

Thanks.🎉😅

I have no front signals but the back work fine. i cannot find any blown fuses , checked all three fuse boxes and noticed there arent any fuses labeled for the turn signals so i checked all of the fuses and all are good. i tried the BCM connector but nothing changed. im trying the steering wheel turn signal switch next . can anyone please tell me where to look for a fuse for the turn signals?

I have a 2009 G6, when the car is in park just idling it idles rough and sometimes the RPM drops like it’s going to stall and jumps back to normal (the rough idle is still there) please help😫

2008 G6 4cylinder here, and it has every single one of those problems 🤦‍♂️ Is there a cheap/simple fix for the power steering?

Okay awesome. How do I disconnect the BCM Connector. It’s plastic and I don’t want to break it but I cannot get it off out or unplugged. Update got the gray plastic clip loose.

How do you disable the daytime running lights someone help please !

Thanks for the info I’m currently drive the o7 g6, and my main problem is my gas cap and maybe new suspension because little bumps in the road make it rattle quite loud and excessive

Every single issue he's talked about I've had including a leaking sunroof

My G6 has over 293K on the odometer and I've had to replace the front wheel hub assembly and the headlights. She could probaly use a new Catalytic converter though. I have a P0140 right now

Tell us please the specific characteristics of “low voltage” dialectic grease. Then also define what you mean by “low voltage”....

Wasn't there a massive recall on the electric power steering issue?

I was looking for the issues i had but they weren’t here, my car is rocking 200,000 miles and is 06

There's a recall on that platform for the electronic power steering and that deadly ignition recall. Ion, HHR, G-series

What Would be a good low voltage dieletric grease? Not seeing any specific low voltage grease

I believe my BCM maybe going, when the vehicle starts sometimes I'll have no power steering and the airbag light will come on and go off intermittently, none of these problems are consistently on.

All the issues he described here happened on my 2010 Malibu. Problem is my VIN doesn’t have the recall on the power steering issue. Got quoted $1200 to fix it. Was looking to buy a G6 to replace my Malibu. Not anymore I’m not.

I have this car and it's like the whole left side is shaking extremely bad at time and sounds like 2 plates banging when I go to brake. What could the issue be

I own an 08 G6 with 110k miles. I've already had problems with the steering intermediate shaft rusting/seizing up, coolant temp sensor, transmission speed sensor, weak timing chain guides (had to replace the whole timing chain/guides), corrosion getting inside the trunk release button, weak door lock actuators, and my all time favorite is the obnoxious popping sound coming from the poorly designed rack & pinion. Mine broke apart inside and I lost control of the steering while driving. The turn signal doesn't cancel automatically anymore, I've had problems with the VVT solenoids even after replacing them, the dealership did a half ass job fixing the power steering issues, the transmission shifts hard when the engine is cold/during winter months. I've had to replace the ball joints/control arms due to the ball joints failing. They never put grease zerks on them so there's no way to properly maintain them. Both struts had to be replaced already. The drivers side strut makes a bunch of racket, and the passenger side weld broke where the swaybar link connects to it. The speakers don't work worth a crap. The rear speakers need to be replaced, and I had to cut the speakers out of the housings and reuse the factory housings due to the design of the front door speakers. When I run the air conditioner, which is also going out, the back floor floods with water on the passenger side. That being said, the whole car smells because of it.

❤ I love Pontiac G6V6 🚘😊

Why do they run so hot? It loses a lot of performance after 5h of driving. Would a cold air intake help?

Can you guys do a video on 06 grand prix gxp 5.3?

How do you relearn the throttle on 2009 Pontiac g6

Mine has all of those problems and a whole lot more.

Interesting “tidbit” on low voltage electrical grease . ✅

Will the solenoids cause a no crank, no start after car has sat for a period of time? The battery replaced, starter replaced but no gauge action. All electrical works... I'm stumped...

Dielectric grease would NOT help or fix corrosion! It only helps prevent FUTURE corrosion. You must use electronic contact cleaner to clean the corrosion FIRST, and then apply dielectric grease to seal the contacts/plug.

When I’m driving sometimes my Gauges will bounce around n my Power steering light will come on. Anyone know what that would be?

I have one and it’s almost 20 year old now and it’s constant repairs now .
