Well-documented problems with the vehicles’ electric power steering system may result in a loss of assist—meaning the steering could become difficult to use or feel ‘locked up’ at speed. This safety issue was addressed by a service bulletin, and any GM mechanic should be able to tell if the model you’re considering may be at risk of the problem. While in the shop for a pre-purchase inspection, a check of the vehicle’s suspension and front end is also advised.
Some owners have reported electrical issues surrounding dead batteries, faulty remote keyfob operation and no-start situations. Ask the seller if they’ve experienced any of these sporadic problems.
The gist? Take the G6 you’re considering heading to a GM dealer for a checkup before agreeing to purchase. A GM-trained mechanic should be able to quickly diagnose any potential issues. Ensure the steering system issues are addressed, or opt for a newer used model, and you’ll likely find the G6 an affordable, solid and sporty driving companion.
