Pontiac G5 problems
The Chevrolet Cobalt is a compact car introduced by Chevrolet in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The Cobalt replaced both the Cavalier and the Toyota-based Geo/Chevrolet Prizm as Chevrolet's compact car. The Cobalt was available as both a coupe and sedan, as well as a sport compact version dubbed the Cobalt SS. Like the Chevrolet HHR and the Saturn ION, it was based on the GM Delta platform.
A Pontiac version was sold in the United States and Mexico under the G5 name for 2007–2009. It was sold as the Pontiac G4 in Mexico for 2005–2006 and as the Pontiac G5 in Canada for its entire run (where it was briefly known as the Pontiac Pursuit and later Pontiac G5 Pursuit). The G5 replaced the Cavalier-related Pontiac Sunfire. While the Cobalt was available as a 2-door coupe and a 4-door sedan in all markets it was offered in, the G5 was only available as a coupé in the United States while a sedan version was sold alongside the coupé in Canada and Mexico.
As with their predecessors, all Cobalts and its Pontiac equivalents were manufactured at GM's plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico and Lordstown, Ohio. The United States Environmental Protection Agency classified the Cobalt as a subcompact car.

- Model: Pontiac G5 2010
- Report Received Date: 2014-04-10
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
- Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
- Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.

Vehicle year: 2007
Although I am not a car enthusiast, I must say that this mid-priced car is quite impressive. It has a sporty look and handles really well. However, I have had some issues with the brakes and hubs. I had to replace the front rotors at 15000 miles, and initially, the g5 rotors didn't fit, but the g6 rotors did the job. I also had to replace the wheel bearing in the back, and the whole hub assembly had to be replaced. Unfortunately, the g5 part didn't fit, but the g6 part did the trick. As a result, my ABS and traction control stopped working. Additionally, I had to replace the bushings in the front three times, and my rear defroster never seems to work. Despite these issues, I still think this is a great car overall.

Your commute sounds tough, but I'm glad to hear that OnStar provides some comfort during those early morning drives. The car's great mileage and comfortable interior, along with XM radio in remote areas, make for an enjoyable driving experience. It's impressive that the base level G5 xfe, 5 Speed gets 37mpg, making it an outstanding choice for commuters. With all the incentives and discounts you received, it's no wonder you feel like you got more than you paid for. And extending the bumper to bumper warranty for just 11 bucks a month up to 100,000 miles is a great deal! Thanks for sharing your positive experience.

Absolutely nothing negative. I believe that the quality of American cars is exceptional. Anyone who thinks they can buy a better import is mistaken. With a standard 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 3-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, you can enjoy worry-free driving.

Hi there! I've been the proud owner of my 2009 G5 for a year and a half now. I've had a great experience with its performance and reliability, but I've been having some trouble with the fob burning out. I'm hoping to find a solution for that soon. I bought this car specifically for my daily commute on the freeway, especially during Montana's harsh winters. It handles great in the snow! However, I have noticed that it tends to hydroplane easily in the rain on the highway, which can be a bit nerve-wracking. Overall, I'm really happy with my G5 and would definitely recommend it to others.

I got my 2007 g5 gt with 162,000 miles on it and i love it!!! The only problem i had was with the sunroof drains being clogged but that was it. Love the Pioneer Audio, sunroof, styling, wheels and comfort. Only thing i don't like is the rear visibility but that's it!! GREAT CAR!!!
Are you having problems with your Pontiac G5?

I purchased this car in August of 2007 as an '08 model. I have now owned it for six years and I am absolutely amazed by it. This is a fantastic little car that is both economical and perfect for Canadian winters. I have never had any problems with it and no warning lights have ever come on. The only thing I have had to replace is the sway bar links, which was my fault due to the bumpy and dirt roads I often travel on. Approximately 80% of my driving is city driving and the car has about 200,000 kms on it. Despite this, it has never had any problems at all, no strange noises, and no service lights. It has always started up without hesitation, just like the day I bought it. I must admit that I don't take the best care of my cars, so it's a very reliable car!!!

I'm really looking forward to upgrading my car soon. While my current car has had some issues, I'm excited to move on to something better. I've had to replace a few parts, like the brakes and wheel bearings, which has been a bit frustrating. The body is also starting to show some wear and tear. However, the engine has been reliable and I'm grateful for that. Overall, I'm ready for a change and excited to see what my next car will be like!

My husband's 1998 Ford F150 finally gave out, so we went looking for a more fuel-efficient car and settled on a 2007 G5. Unfortunately, it hasn't been a great fit for us. The car is uncomfortable, especially on long drives, and we've had to replace several parts including the brakes, tires, rotors, and control arm. The windshield wipers are also not very effective and there is a lot of road noise. In comparison, my 2003 Neon with no options is a much better car and gets even better gas mileage than the G5. Perhaps Pontiac could benefit from some improvements in their design.

I have owned my g5 gt for 2 years now and unfortunately, I have experienced some issues with it. Despite this, I still love my little bumble bee! It has some great features and is both fast and cute. However, I have had to replace the blown amp, a/c, and radio for AUX jack, and recently experienced power steering failure while driving on the highway, as well as a gas leak with noise coming from the front driver side and starter-related issues. It's disappointing that all of this has happened, especially since I don't drive far or on tough roads. I guess I just have bad luck. Fortunately, I have a 10-year warranty, which has been a lifesaver. Good luck to anyone else experiencing similar issues!

Hey there! Thank you for considering this car. I just wanted to share my personal experience with it. I did have some issues with the steering column, steering shaft, right control arm bushing, a link in right stabilizer, weather stripping due to wind noise, and part of the left fender had to be glued on to the car because it wasn't fit properly...all before 18000 miles. I also had to replace the brakes (rotors and pads), and was told by the guy at the dealership that I needed new tires. However, I want to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Let me know if you have any questions!
