What NHTSA data shows for Pontiac

Across the 10 Pontiac models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2014), NHTSA has 30,305 owner complaints on file and 160 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are steering (4,179), electrical system (4,117), engine and cooling (2,911). The Pontiac G6 has the most complaints of any Pontiac, with 8,461. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is steering, read our guide to deciding whether to repair or junk before you take an offer.
