2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE. I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME. IT TOOK ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. I WAS TOLD TO RESTART VEHICLE WHICH FIXED THIS ISSUE FOR THAT DAY THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ON ANOTHER THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

GOING DOWN HIGHWAY ABOUT 60 MPH. STEERING LOCKS UP, TRACTION CONTROL WENT OFF.BARELY MADE IT OVER TO EMERGENCY LANE.. I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, RECALL UP TO 2009 G6 BUT NOT MY 2010 PONTIAC G6. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS MY VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE 'POWER STEERING' SERVICE ESB' 'TRACTION' AND THEN THE INDICATOR WOULD GO OFF AS ODDLY AS IT CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR CHECK AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE OR RECALL AND SAID TO JUST KEEP DRIVING.... NOW OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS I CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT MY POWER STEERING ACTUALLY LOCKING UP, VERY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHEN IDLE. I WAS ABLE TO REMEDY FOR ABOUT A WEEK WITH SIMPLY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON BUT THIS NO LONGER WORKS AND THE POWER STEERING WILL NOW LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL ESC AND TRACTION LIGHTS WONT GO OFF WEATHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. LEFT HEAD LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING OUT, I'VE SEEN THIS ON SEVERAL CARS JUST LIKE MINE

THERE WAS AN INITIAL RECALL DONE TO WHERE PONTIAC PUT A BANDAID ON THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE BANDAID WAS TO JUST REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB. IF YOU DO RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS THE WIRING HARNESS AND CORROSION. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON NO ONE IS REPORTING IT BUT I AM DUE TO THE FACT THAT MINE HAS NOT JUST AFFECTED THE HEADLIGHTS BUT ALSO MY FUEL PUMP WHICH IT CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE 68 WITH TRAFFIC COMING UP BEHIND ME. LUCKILY THEY REALIZE I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM AND WENT OUT AROUND ME BEFORE HITTING ME. I HAVE SINCE BEEN PULLED OVER 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT WHICH WAS WHAT THEY RECALL WAS FOR. IF YOU HIT THE LIGHT IT COMES ON. I'M AND TIRED OF THIS AND WANT THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED AND ACTUALLY FIXED. AGAIN I WAS PULLED OVER AND ISSUED A REPAIR ORDER FOR THE ISSUE THAT WAS A RECALL BY PONTIAC BUT WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WENT OUT. I HAD TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN IT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR EARLIER YEARS OF THE G6. MY MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL. I CAN'T PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND IT'S A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

FIRST THE POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING AND THE THEN SERVICE ESC IS NOW ON AND IT SHUT OFF. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WASN'T FIXED IN THE 2014 RECALL. ALSO THE SERVICE ESC AND BRAKE LIGHTS SOMETIME ILLUMINATE AND THEN GO OFF. NOW IT'S JUST ON ALL THE TIME AND HAS SHUT OFF MY ESC. IT IS LIT WHEN DRIVING AND IN PARK.

VEHICLE ONCE A WHILE DOES NOT WANT TO START. STARTER IS CRANKING AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING. THEN YOU LET IT STAND FOR A WHILE AND VEHICLE STARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND DOES IT AGAIN. YESTERDAY IT STALL ON HIGHWAY IT WAS VERY UNSAFE AND AFTER FEW MINUTES RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD AND NO OBD CODES. LOT MORE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM DEALERS ARE NOT ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL OCCASIONALLY TURN ON WHEN MY FOOT ISN'T ON THE BRAKES WHETHR THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT, AND THEN THEY TURN OFF WHEN I DO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY APPLYING THE BRAKES HARD OR IF THE ABS ARE NEEDED. CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL OR WILL SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

PURCHASED CAR USED IN 2013 CAR WILL NOT START SOMETIMES CAR WILL LOOSE POWER STEERING AND JERK GOING DOWN THE ROAD LOSE GAS INDICATOR AND SPEEDOMETER HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN 4 YEARS NOT THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR POSSIBLY THEFT DETERRENT DEVICE SEEMS TO BE A THEME WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL HOWEVER NO RECALL BY PONTIAC PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF BUSINESS AND DONT CARE
