Take it back to the shop that did the work.  
BTW, did you mean it was a GM dealership that previously sold Pontiacs?

No the car was just bought off an individual taken to a dealership here they worked on it forever got it home my daughter drove it for about 2 weeks and it started doing the same thing I had a heart attack so hadn’t been able to do anything with the car they’re good to just a regular mechanic he doesn’t have a clue just don’t want to spend a bunch more money on it everything’s been changed didn’t know if that was common with the G6 Pontiac

Sorry . Tim . But why do you think all vehicles have the same problems ? You bought a 13 year old vehicle and why you took it to a dealer I don’t understand since Pontiac is gone .  
What has whoever worked on this thing said as to why they have not solved the problem ?
