06 pontiac g6 sucks
 

i freakin hate new cars

ok obd2 code is p0300 which is something like random/multiple cyl misfire, at first it was not noticable just loss of mpg and mild power loss which has turned into stuttering and loss of rpms at about 5000rpms reducing to about 4 and just stuttering today. i cant get the car above 20 miles per hour it just complains all the at about 2000rpms even killed it once or twice, but it idles like a freakin champ. cant afford a diagnostic at dealership and just outta warranty

CAS? random cylinder misfire sounds like cas or ECU

how many miles?
check with the dealer for any service bulletens

54k miles, it idles great. every time i reset comp it gets better for 100 yds and then goes back to crap i am ruling out. no service bullitins. funny thing is the popular complaint on my model with alot of ppl is loss of mpg lately. a couple of months ago thats how this car was

Trade it in for an Altima Coupe

its my womans car, its not like i could get anything for it as is. i was thinking about getting a 350z but i need something to tow my wakeboard boat or it would be real nice to tow her current car in a feild and burn it

so i decided to take it to the dealer late last night so i wouldnt have to deal with traffic[or traffic wouldnt have to tolerate me lol,being midnight] i noticed if i barely touched the gas, just ever so softly that it would run better, for about 4 miles of 20mph i pooped along, then it started getting better as long as i was real easy on the gas, u could actually get on it to like 4k a lil,before i hit the dealer i noticed some tapping, not quite like a rod knock but more like detonation b4 the engine started to sputter out at just over 4k, get to dealer and see night guy, he lets me pull it in to service place fill out a form and leave the key, no engine light came on since i reset comp so i left code saying p0300 before i reset comp and described problem, they call me this morn asking what wrong with car, ug car seem fine, lol i redescribe problem and they imiediatly say its probably cat and if it is... its free. thats cool but i dont think its the cat. shit its more likely that cat up^^^^^ there sitting on bleaches car, what do u think and sorry for the novel^^

some cars have an o2 sensor in the car and that may be what theyre talkin about, if its free why not i say.

hell yeah since its free but apparently there is tsb or recall of some sort on the cat and that is what they are replacing but i dont have much faith in it fixing it, btw Z enthusiasts are so much better/cooler then other car ppl, i have started a thread on a g6 forum and posted in another thread alot of views but no replys:icon_pidu: maybe this is why i drive a z

Fix it & sell it.... before it breaks again. :D

thats a good idea, fix it for free and sell it. if you buy another GM product make sure its got the 100,000 mile warranty.

do those new Agayos come with the 100k warranty?

i dont even wanna say this but my girl bought it and it was a great deal the car was a rental from enterprise lmao, they sold it 3000 miles after the warranty was up. i know i know i know lol but she wanted it so she bought it, so yeah when it started ****ing up who got the bitter sweet i told u so. but who is fixing it now??? me(im only laughing cuz this is another drunk post/reply)

I agree, it's not the cat unless it's completely clogged and choking your engine, which is a possibility.

When's the last time it had a full tune up?

so it was the cat. how gay is this. it wasnt like it was clogging up it was just going bad

Hum... a burnt out cat on an 06 car? Sounds like something else is wrong w/ the engine to kill a cat.

well no warranty and it was still free. wonder if there isnt more to that lol

Only one thing comes to mind.

It's a GM.

Not going to lie, but every GM owner I know of has problems, with relatively newer cars. Then again most of them are idiots who probably don't even know their cars have oil. Although I've heard from a friend who works for GM that the whole quality control has really gone down the tubes.

they could also be people like my girl friend that says their car is going to hell because they think its making a strange noise but fail to tell any one about it.

lol yeah it started making that grinding noise 2 weeks ago only when the car rolled forward and got louder when i went faster,.,.,.,.,., is that why my wheel might have fallen off?!?!?!?!?!?!? lol something like that

im pro chevy. i like nissan :icon_super: and toyota mopar isnt quite accaptable and ford is treason. i understand that these are all decent vehicles all with there problems(unless u like 4 and 6 cyl mustangs, then ur a TRAITOR TO AMERICA LOL) my father likes ford and i give him shit everytime one of his fords pisses out with a problem(which seems like all the time) and he takes great care of his vehicles.

AT LEAST in 1912 they found the problem and started circling it!!!!!!!!!!

1957 was apparently some hard times, the guy making up the logo couldn't get the oval shape.
