Pontiac G6 reviews and complaints

Why American car companies cannot compete:
Poor quality
Poor service

I purchased a 2005 Pontiac G6, 3 miles before the warranty was up the engine blew. Can you believe it a new car and before the mfg. warranty was up the engine threw a rod and had to be replaced. The dealership the car was towed to, (i had no say in the matter), was rude, arrogant and obnoxious and it took a month before i got my car back. Forward to December of '08, the power steering goes. Imagine doing 70 mph on a windy highway and your power sterring goes. A GM employee told me confidentially that GM knew they had a problem with electronic power steering but didnt want to do a recall. The entire steering column had to be replaced and the bill was over $700.00. In the summer of 2010 I receive a letter from GM admitting they have a problem and will possibly re-imburse. I find their sincerity suspect as this was at the height of the Toyota acceleration scandal and I think they were just afraid of getting dragged into something like that. Now in Februrary 2010 the power steering goes AGAIN! Obviousely the same defective componenets were used in the so called fix and and even though they have admitted in writing they are at fault they dont want to pay the nearly $1, 500.00 it cost to have it fixed this time. I had always purchased American cars, 3 of the GM, but after this car and the crappy service i will never-ever purchase an american made car again. After nearly going bankrupt due to their inability to make a quality product, being bailed out by the tax payers, you would think their goal is to keep customers, not treat them like garbage.
