if loss of fluid and assume overheating the noise is probably the coolant captivating or sloshing through hearet core --for loss test and check for head gasket or intake gasket failure

Hi, your car's heater core might be malfunctioning or their might not be enough coolant (or hot coolant) to heat the inside of your vehicle. Please first ensure that your coolant is not running low (if so, you can add more) and then allow a place like autozone to perform a quick check on your heater core to see if it needs to be replaced. Thank you.

It sounds like the control valve is faulty, not opening fully or sticking. https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=Heater+Controls+for+Pontiac+Bonneville+SE ..

No car VIN number posted (USA?) it is inside the transmission on 99.9% of all A/T boxes. on the valve body, TCC sol what matters most is reading the shop manual on this tranny transverse trans front wheel drive, (not AWD) . box names there are 2 A246E (mfg. Aisin Japan) U341F for awd 4wd version of car.SAME MAKERBOTH ARE USED ON MANY TOYOTA;'S TOO. I will toss coin and show a246E 702 seen on any tranny parts web site google A246e parts.

if you have a parts store near by (O'rielies autozone etc) they will run a code test for free and you might get information from there. otherwise i would probably disconnect the battery for a few minutes to hopefully let the computer reset itself BUT that's a pretty old car and it might be risky to do the disconnect on it .. so i would take it to the parts store for a free readout AND they can usually reset the codes there at the same time ..

Inside the alternator

look for a blown fuse or a bad relay or bad sensor. possibly the mechanism is in a mechanical bind .. i would go to youtube and search the issue to see if it's a common problem and if so there will be videos on fixing it ..

check and test around the rear window

You do not have a cruze module like the old days. The throttle body is an electric motor and is controlled by the ECU

The 2.4 engine in the G6 uses a timing chain. On the chain there are 3 links each one a different colour to all the other link in the chain. On the face of each Cam sprocket and the Crank sprocket there is a notch or a groove mark. When the engine is at Top Dead Centre (TDC) on Cylinder One each coloured link will line up with a notch. **NOTE** All 3 must line up to be at TDC.

Do you have any warning lights on the dashboard? Does it rev up or is that restricted as well? It reving up suggests a possible transmission issue. A restricted reving level could be the vehicle's electronic system has detected a fault with the vehicle and has put it into a 'Safe Mode' to restrict how much damage is done while you get the car home or to a mechanic.
