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

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. **** its more likely that cat up^^^^^ there sitting on bleaches car, what do u think and sorry for the novel^^

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 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?

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

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.

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 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 **** 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!!!!!!!!!!
