Pontiac G8 Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Pontiac G8 Reliability and Durability

Reliability and Durability of the Pontiac G8: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Have had the car for 1 year and 25000 km and have had no problems what so ever. I think with reasonable care this vehicle should do me for at least 10 years or more. The engine is a proven design and the car is rear wheel drive.
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Solid proven engine platform upgraded since introduction in 1955. Proven American sports car application in Corvette. Also adopted to full size trucks. Transmission is modular construction providing common affordable, dependable parts with other models
Reliability and Durability of the Pontiac G8: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 256-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Known camshaft issues and were not addressed until check engine light came on after 27000 miles.
2008 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Mine has been the worst quality vehicle I have ever owned. Multiple front suspension component failures, oil leaks from new, loud alternator whine in audio system, transmission 2-3 shift quality is horrible. This is 2009 right?
