2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

154K POWER STEERING IS COMING AND GOING AS OF THIS MORNING. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT ABOUT 3RD GEAR AND HAS NO REVERSE, I HAVE RESEARCH THIS AND HAVE FOUND OTHER GM TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER MULTIPLY TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE.

WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS MAKES STEERING HARD AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IN SOME CASES, DEPENDING ON THE DRIVER. ALSO DEPENDING ON IF THE VEHICLE IS IN A CURVE WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUITS, WHEN THIS IS THE CASE IT ALMOST CAUSES A WRECK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND KEEPS OCCURRING. I HAVE READ LOTS OF MANY OTHER OWNERS'S ACCOUNTS OF EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES YOU CAN STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT'LL BE OKAY BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED LOTS ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I'M GOING TO PUT THE FIRST INCIDENT AS THE DATE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RECALL FROM THE SAME MODEL YEAR ( JAN - AUG). LOSS OF POWER STEERING, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENS. CONTACTED GM AND NO HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE, THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN REVERSE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,722.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. SINCE APRIL OF 2019, THE VEHICLE WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,000.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR ON DRY PAVEMENT IN A PARKING LOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING STALL. AFTER TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. THIS MADE STEERING THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE. THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT WAS NOT ISSUED FOR MY VIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND GM SHOULD DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC TO DRIVE AND BE SAFE WHILE OTHERS ARE DRIVING THEM.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY OR NOT WORKING AT ALL. MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS, HOWEVER WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE, I FIND THE RECALL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING

MY CAR, WHEN DRIVING, WILL HAVE THE ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK UP. MY STEERING WILL BE LOCKED AND I CAN'T TURN IT RIGHT OR LEFT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEEDER ROAD, AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND RESTART MY CAR TO RESET THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND ME OR I WOULD OF COLLIDED WITH THEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY IF I WERE TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY I PROBABLY WOULD CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE TWICE SO FAR. ANOTHER TIME I LUCKILY WAS IN A LOW SPEED PARKING GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I RECENTLY WENT TO 2 CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL. WHEN I WENT INTO BOTH THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED AND THEY WOULD NEED TO CHARGE ME. PLEASE HELP ME SEARCH IF THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS BIG ISSUE WITH MY CAR.

MY VEHICLES AIR BAGS CODE SHOWING ON DISPLAY. IT STAYS ON WHETHER CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING OR WHILE DRIVING. I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS WON'T WORK. I QUESTION WHETHER THEY EVER WORKED. I HAD A DOG RUN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND COULDN'T STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING DOG. DAMAGED FRONT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW I'M DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, MAJOR METRO STREETS, AND I'M CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND MAJOR HARM TO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED OVER A LONG RANGE OF YEARS AND I FEEL THERE'S ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THE CALL FOR GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND EITHER REPLACE THE PROBLEM PART(S) OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. THERE ARE MULTIPLY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONAL. AS AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I'M ASKING FOR HELP.
