2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING BETWEEN 2 AND 5 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED. SHE STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THAT IT BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS CONSTANT AND WAS ON GOING FOR THE LAST THREE TO FOUR MONTHS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 57,000.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. IT OFTEN SHOWS THE AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR LIGHT EVEN WHEN A THIN ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *LN

DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, MY STEERING IN MY G6 HAS BEEN GETTING TIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY DEC. 15, 2010 WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY, IT COMPLETE FROZE UP. I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED, THE LIGHTS DIMMED ON THE CAR AS THOUGHT A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. *TR

ON THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING, KNOWN AS BLACK FRIDAY MY GRANDDAUGHTER AN I GOT INTO MY 2006 PONTIAC G6, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING HAD LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. GM SENT ME A NOTICE IN THE MAIL 4 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. THE LETTER STATED THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM DO NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, FOUR MONTHS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS AND SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND 10 MINUTES LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE FOUND OVER 100 CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE US. GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT TOOK NO ACTION TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I FEEL THAT IT IS TIME THAT NHTSA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I'M A OWNER OF A 06 G6 IN MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING SO MANY FRONT END PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN OUT OF SO MUCH MONEY. RECENTLY WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK THE POWER STEERING FAIL.

I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH "SPECIAL COVERAGE" NOT A RECALL. MY CAR IS OVER THE MILEAGE SO IM NOT ABLE TO GET IT FIX. IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING GMC SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO BECAUSE I JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIX. GM IS AT FAULT IM PRAYING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN FOR US(G6 OWNERS) BEFORE SOMETHING BAD TRANSPIRE FROM THIS. I DON'T NOT WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. *TR

MY CURRENT PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE RECALL FOR THE 2009 PONTIAC G6. TODAY (12-8-10) I HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO ROLL. THE WIRING SYSTEM DID NOT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE PARK OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I LATER TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL. 4 MONTHS AGO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING IN PARK. THREE OTHER TIMES I HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE/FOOT PEDDLES. I WOULD HAVE TO BREAK TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL UNTIL IT REACHED 30MPH. IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DRIVE IN TRACTION CONTROL AND READ DECREASED ENGINE POWER ON THE PANEL. IN ADDITION, I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A FOUNTAIN OF WATER POURING INTO MY CAR SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF ON EITHER SIDE OF PANELS BTWN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS, RESULTING IN SEVERE INTERIOR DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT MOLD SPORES GROWING. INSTEAD OF THE FILTER SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF FILTERING WATER OUT, IT IS FILTERING WATER IN. *TR

BRAKE LAMPS WON'T OPERATE PROPERLY BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND ILLUMINATE BAKE LIGHTS. *TR
