Description of the problem	My pontiac g6 2008 started having acceleration problems. When getting onto the highway the car takes a long time to get up to the 55-65mph speed. I researched this problem on pontiac g6 forums and many people are having the same problem. The car shouldn't be having this problem so early on. This is a dangerous defect as people are already flying on the highway and when getting behind a car that is taking a long time to get up the matching speed, you are asking for an accident. I've already had people honking their horn at me. This car has serious issues outside of the steering problem reported. Between constant water leaks, actuators failing too early on, speakers blowing out when hardly used, and now this engine issue, i will never get a gm car ever again. For a car that only has 60k on it, these problems should not be happening. This is stuff a 100k+ mile car should have. Poorly designed car that every pontiac g6 owner is aware of, and now the us government.
