“My current problem with my 2006 Pontiac G6 sounds the same as the recall for the 2009 Pontiac G6. Today (12-8-10) I had to bring in my car in to the dealer after putting my car in park, which then proceeded to roll. The wiring system did not seem to recognize park or disconnected from the transmission. I later tried to turn the ignition and the car would not turn on at all. 4 months ago I brought it in for the key getting stuck in the ignition because the car didn't recognize it as being in park. Three other times I had issues with the brake/foot peddles. …”

“Rear doors will intermittently not unlock either with door switch or keyless control. This create a hazard if a small child is in a rear seat restraint, have to craw between the seats to try and reach the locks to manually unlock them.”

“- the contact owns a 2006 Pontiac G6 gtp. The contact stated that the vehicle did not have rear door child safety locks. The manufacturerwas unable to explain why the vehicle did not have this feature. The manufacturer checked the owner's manual, called the dealer' and they do not have an explanation. The contact stated that her child opened the rear door twice and jumped out. This was a serious safety concern.”

“I recently discovered that my rear doors on my 2006 Pontiac G6 4-door coupe is missing the child safety locks that the owner's manual states it should have as a standard feature. Having 2 small children I find this feature incredibly necessary on my vehicle and thought it was a standard on all vehicles. After finding this I went to the dealership where I purchased the car and was told that child safety locks were discontinued on the 2006 model of this car and then reinstated in 2007 models. I find this bogus.”

NHTSA complaint #10181099, filed 2007-01

“There are no rear-door security locks on the vehicle. My child opened the door while the car was moving at a high speed on a highway. Luckily, she was not injured but could have been. I went to the GM dealer and they were not helpful at all. The owner's manual states that the car comes equipped with rear-door security locks, mine does not have them. The dealer states that the 2006 model temporarily discontinued that feature and then started equipping the car with the feature again in 2007. I find that hard to believe. I would just like the locks installed on my car at no charge to me.”
