“Car was parked. We walked towards the car, unlocked it, started it, buckled up, put it in reverse, the car chimed and the LED screen read door ajar passenger door wouldn't latch (I'm always picky about my car, I always tell my passengers don't slam the door before we get in the car) so I know the problem was not generated by me. When I got the door to latch I was happy. But now the door won't open. My passenger had to crawl out the drivers door.”
NHTSA complaint #10509280, filed 2013-04, 73,000 miles“I have got locked inside my car. I was with my family at casey's and I could not get out of my driver side door. We unlocked it again and again but could not get the door to open. The other doors worked fine. Finally my daughter helped me out of the car. This just happened to my son too and he told me to file a complaint as well. There is one other girl that we know of that has the same issue. It was very scary being trapped inside the car. I was just glad I wasn't alone.”
NHTSA complaint #10440157, filed 2011-12, 20,000 miles“I have been locked inside my vehicle at least 15 times. Yesterday both the driver door and the passenger door would not open. The car was in park, I pressed the unlock button several times and could hear the door unlock, however the door would not open. I have called Pontiac and they have stated that there is no recall on this. So I looked further into this by doing a general search on google and apparantly there are hundreds having this issue. My mother and sister both drive a G6 as well and this has happened to them as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #10440128, filed 2011-12, 40,000 miles“There were multiple occasions where we were locked inside our vehicle and unable to get out due to a faulty door handle/ lock. To exit the vehicle we would had to crawl out the window or through to the back seat. We ended up fixing the problem with a local car dealer, however could never get the company to admit any fault for the problem. We know of other G6 owners that have had the same problem and have not been able to get it fixed. This problem really needs to be addressed!”
