[@misseselise3864]

i’m glad it works well for you! but my area requires you to turn off your signal then turn it back on every time you merge to another lane even if you’re merging across multiple lanes at the same time. that way drivers around you know that you’re merging instead of assuming you just didn’t turn the wheel enough for the signal to turn off

[@wannabeetiger]

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

[@josephlecheminant2231]

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.

[@maryjaneevadiamond6359]

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.

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?

+Gettin Mine Thanks for watching! That is certainly a good thing to try first to see if it fixes your issue. Dielectric grease wouldn't hurt, just be sure not to use too much.

[@nwj2468]

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.

[@matthewpickelheimer1837]

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.

That way, if they melt, I can just unplug and replace them w/out having to solder, but hopefully, the high temp sockets won't have that problem.

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

[@PlanoPatTX]

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.

[@brandonreynolds2593]

Cause they probably used the same model part, just get a shop to replace it. They'll likely use an aftermarket part that'll work better.

[@brandonreynolds2593]

Replaced mine and been good since

[@gantmj]

I've used bulb grease on that connector, and it has to be redone every couple of years. The brake lights will be on constantly and then shut off when you hit the brake.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

Yay! I have a G6!!

[@red2thebone]

me to! 😁

[@bobbyv.634]

Would you say these issues happen often? I'm thinking about bout getting one

[@corrybookerstaycoming6463]

Me too

[@billjoang]

@@bobbyv.634 I’ve owned one for 14 years. Only issue I’ve had that’s on this list is the turn signal. Supposedly it’s a fairly simple fix I’m just not motivated enough to do it

[@melinatedgreatness3172]

That turns signal switch problem seems to be common with GM unfortunately. I've had a Camaro and a Firebird with similar issues.

[@roamizane1484]

Mine sticks when it' s hot, I replaced it when I thought it was broke. Next summer came and same thing. (All black paint and interior)

[@sourslime]

funny you mentioned it,.. just had mine replaced🤣

[@luisoutumuro424]

Had the turn signal switch assembly problem in every Pontiac I have ever owned (Grand Am, Bonneville and the G6). New assembly can be bought on Amazon for $25, and you can install it in 5 minutes.

[@DNGINFORMANT]

I suddenly started loosing my Power Steering today. It scary when it happens while driving.

[@renetorres1932]

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

[@1AAuto]

+Rene Torres We'll pass this suggestion along to our production team.

[@pepeshopping]

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

[@rhoades2thetop685]

Electrical issues with the headlights nonstop for 5 or 6 years. One side has new pigtail replaced and still. Wheel bearings have been replaced twice in 3 years in the front.

[@ancienttwinsign]

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.

[@MatUrb01]

I love you

[@gybx4094]

Another big one is the Low Beam Headlight connector terminal corrosion that melts the lamp connector terminal. If you know how to do electrical repairs, then pigtails and dielectric grease from parts stores will only cost about $20. If you take it to a dealership, they will be required to sell you an entire front lamp harness ($$hundreds$$) , because they aren't allowed to modify a safety system. That won't solve the problem either, because it will just fail again.

[@seanmchale6860]

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

[@ks_hunter7327]

Amazon

[@joedub969]

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)?

[@Mikeschannel477]

I’m getting between 25-35 avg mpg. It has 166k and counting!

[@dubbwire3198]

I hit a deer in November, did not know that the radiator was cracked- and drove all winter with basically no radiator fluid. Noticed it in like May, had it fixed. Still running like nothing happened.

[@rodneyjones8433]

Out of the 5, I had one. I replaced my VVT Solenoids @ 211,XXX miles

[@mikelake3498]

Same here

[@chancedulaney774]

What were your symptoms, Surging?
