2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ENTERING AN EXIT RAMP AT 50 MPH. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I'VE NOW PARKED MY VEHICLE AND HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING IT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN UNDER AGE 4 AND CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO BE IN THAT DEATH TRAP. AFTER I PULLED OVER TO A SAFE AREA, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND ABOUT 10 MIN LATER ON AGAIN. AFTER THAT, MY STEERING WAS FINE. I'VE ALSO HAD THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED 3 TIMES FOR A CLICK SOUND THAT IS MADE ANYTIME I TURN TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE THE STEERING LINKS OR EVEN THE TIE RODS AND STRUTS. IT STILL MAKES THAT SOUND. EITHER WAY, ALL THREE TIMES A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION BECAUSE THEY WERE SURE THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE CLICK AND ALL MY FRONT END ISSUES. WHEN I HAD THE FIRST RACK AND PINION REPLACED, THE WATER PUMP ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. I HAD THE SAME BODY SHOP WORK ON THE VEHICLE EACH TIME SOMETHING WAS REPLACED. I'VE FEEL JIPPED. I PAY ALMOST 400 A MONTH FOR A CAR THAT COULD KILL ME! A DEFINITE RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE KILLS SOMEONE ELSE OR THEIR CHILDREN DIE OR THEMSELVES. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS THING HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SO LONG AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. IT'S ABSURD. *TR

PONTIAC 2008 G6 3,368 MILEAGE POWER STEERING ERROR, THEN TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. 4/25/08 PHONED DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED REPAIR FOR 4/28/08. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP ON 4/27/08. 4/28/08 DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED TWO BROKEN WIRES IN THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR HARNESS. THEY INDICATED THAT SOMETHING HAD SEVERED THE WIRES AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. WHY WOULD TWO WIRES BE LEFT UNSHIELDED FROM THE ELEMENTS? THE DEALERSHIP VIA MY REQUEST RECEIVED AN ONE TIME CUSTOMER GOODWILL WARRANTY APPROVAL. I HAD THE MECHANIC SHOW THE AREA IN QUESTION. HE HAS REINFORCED THE WIRES WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. IT APPEARS TO BE A GREAT REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE MANUFACTURE DID NOT DO THIS ORIGINALLY. ERROR CODES PO722, COOOO AND PO700. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DESIGN WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS. AND COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE WIRING IS SEVERED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR
