2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND LOVED IT TIL I STARTED HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. COME TO FIND OUT IT HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP, WHICH WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS FAILING CAUSING THE LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ITS BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO PAY THE CAR EVERY MONTH BUT NOW TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENT AS THE WARRANTY IS UP, IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. HOPING THEY AREN'T WAITING FOR A FATALITY BEFORE THEY ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE AFTER NOT DRIVING CAR MULTIPLE DAYS. TURNING OFF THE CAR & TURNING BACK ON SOMETIMES WOULD GET POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN. HAS FAILED THREE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CHIME INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED BY THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THERE WAS AN ILLUMINATION OF THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I CORRECTED THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM BY TURNING CAR OFF THEN ON A FEW TIMES UNTIL THE IN DASH DISPLAY DID NOT SAY POWER STEERING ANYMORE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HWY 4 IN SENATOBIA MS. STEERING BEGAN TO MORE BY ITSELF THEN BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER COMPLETELY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY SO IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, BUT I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS IT WILL COST 700 TO FIX. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, MY CAR BEGAN TO SHOW ME A "POWER STEERING" ERROR. IT WOULD POP UP, AND I WOULD LOSE MY POWER STEERING. THIS WOULD GO AWAY AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. AS OF TWO DAYS AGO, MARCH 8TH 2011, THE ERROR IS ON MY DASH AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING. I WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT AND I HEARD A NOISE FROM MY CAR AND MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I PARKED THE CAR AND TRY TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL AND IT WOULD ONLY MOVE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ABOUT A QUARTER TURN AND THEN JERK BACK. I HAVE NOT YET GOT THE WORD FROM THE DEALER AS TO THE PROBLEM BUT I HAVE READ THAT THESE CARS ARE HAVING ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM, AND THERE WAS NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THIS THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). JUST RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING AND A WEIRD SENSOR CAME UP READING REDUCED ENGINE SPEED AND THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME BECAUSE MY CAR SHOT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO AROUND 8 MPH. AFTER I REACHED A SEMI-SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP, IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAVE 80,000 MILES ON MY FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS SORT OF TROUBLE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND NO ONE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO SOMETHING GOING ON INTERNALLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN REARENDED FOR SURE. AFTER VISITING YOUR SITE I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS VERY SIMILAR TO MY STORY AND FEEL AS IF THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT AND REALIZE I AM A VALUED CUSTOMER AND IF THIS NEXT PROBLEM COSTS ME A BUNCH I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AS LONG AS I DRIVE. *TR
