    Squeaky Steering Wheel

    Okay....by bad....your weren't yanking my chain......LOL. Thanks for info. JOEGMC sent me a link that explained the ribbon wire to the airbag. Now just gotta figure out if it's worth the time and money to go in there and relocate wire so it doesn't rub.

    Squeaky Steering Wheel

    Thanks Joe. No problems with the electrical part and I know airbag has never been deployed or replaced but the sound would be consistent with a flat wiring harness (ribbon) rubbing when steering wheel is turn. Now to decide if it worth trying to remove wheel and fix. Wouldn't want to screw it up...

    Squeaky Steering Wheel

    This is definitely not clunking or rattling but Rubbing is a better description rather than squeaking. Anyone else have any suggestions?

    Squeaky Steering Wheel

    The grand-daughter's 2008 Pontiac G6 we bought about a month ago has developed maybe not so much a squeak but more of a rubbing sound when you turn at slow speeds. Sounds like plastic or rubber....like the coating on the steering wheel is rubbing. This 100% not a steering shaft or link problem...

    Door Remote Question

    I check on Google as well and found conflicting answers. Of course on stated to hold unlock button on door down and other said hold lock button down on door to start the process so obviously one is wrong.....or worse....they are both wrong.

    Door Remote Question

    2009 Saturn Aura

    Thanks Joe. Majority of those are out of our price range....no more than $9K. In that price range we have looked at dozens of cars that either had over 120K miles or the interior or exterior was junk. Found a 2008 G6, 1-owner, leather, remote start, heated seat.....loaded out......that has the...

    2009 Saturn Aura

    That's was my original thinking but haven't found anything yet. Problem is trying to find something in a 4-door but still looks sporty for a 16 yr old girl. (like a Camry or even like the the Pontiac G6 we were also looking at.) I guess just have enough choices here in Longview. Only car dealers...

    2009 Saturn Aura

    Wish I knew for sure but seems price is way high so guess I pass on the Saturn. Also looking at 2008 Pontiac G6 with 88,000 miles. Has V6 so should have timing chain and have another 30-40,000 miles left before changing.

    2009 Saturn Aura

    Damn! I forget about these new cars with timing belts instead of chains. Wants way more than $7500. Actually $9900. Thought I could get them down but haven't budged yet. Also looking at an 2008 Pontiac G6 with the 3.5L V-6 and 88,000 miles. Does the V-6 require timing belt at 100K?

    2009 Saturn Aura

    Helping my son find first car for 16 yr old grand-daughter. For the money he has to spend have found nothing but junk until this Saturn. Not a blemish on body and recent maintenance to include new battery, tires, oil and and all filter elements. Is a new car trade-in at local Hyundai Dealer. Car...

    Rebuilt Titles?

    That is probably correct but this particular car is an 2009 model and was first issued Salvage Title in Louisiana which meant damage was at least 75% of book value. Considerably more than just fender and tail light damage as seller first stated to me. I just have a bad gut feeling about the car...

    Rebuilt Titles?

    Yep....ran away fast but learned a lot of good information for future reference. One thing was....even if you get a good deal on a used car...rebuilt title or not......must still pay 6.25% sales tax on what tag office says it's worth.....not what you actually paid!:(

    Rebuilt Titles?

    Looking for first car for 16 year old grand-daughter. Came across a Pontiac G6 that sounded promising. Drove 40 miles to look at it then owner said it had a reconditioned title. Did some digging and found it was a TX Blue Title with a Rebuilt Note on it. The guy selling said just a rear fender...

    Cracked Dashboard

    I was thinking of doing just that. Thanks.

    Cracked Dashboard

    Thanks guys! Seemed like mixed feelings on epoxy or some other method in an attempt to prevent further cracking. Jury is still out.

    Cracked Dashboard

    Not sure if this is the correct forum so Mods feel free to move. I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Hemi with 95,000 miles and I am not the original owner. Truck is always in carport and interior was like brand new until one day last week. Just driving down the road, not even a bumpy road, and my...

    4-Wheel Drive Question

    Okay. Any thoughts on the growling sound? Heard you should engage 4WD ever now and then just to keep lubricated. Hadn't engaged in 3-years so that theory must be true.

    4-Wheel Drive Question

    Thanks! Sounds just like my issue. Any thoughts on not replacing switch or whatever if don't intend to use 4WD?
