2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE REAR BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL CAUSES THE BRAKE LAMPS TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. WHILE THE LAMPS ARE ILLUMINATED, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ABLE TO BE ENGAGED. THIS ISSUE HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS GM RECALL NO. 80317, BUT MY VIN FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALLED RANGE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP, I HAVE RECENTLY CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS OF HARMING PEOPLES LIFE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF SHIFTING OF MY TRANSMISSION IN A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR SOMETIMES AND WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY IS A CHALLENGE IF I WILL MAKE IT OR NOT. THE VEHICLE DECIDES IF IT WILL GO OR NOT AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS 2006 VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD OR OTHERS TO BE SOLD UNTIL THIS ONGOING PROBLEM ACROSS THE NATION TO BE SOLVED. IT HAPPENS AT 65,000 MILES ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 G6, NOTICED THE POPPING SOUND IN THE STEERING AT 40K MILES AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW AT 75K MILES, THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND IN THE STEERING AND IT SHAKES BAD WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR EVEN SLOWING DOWN. I DRIVE INTERSTATE AND HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD BABY WITH ME AND AM EXTREMELY UPSET BY WHAT I AM READING. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT COVERED THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. I WILL BE BRINGING IT TO A DEALER THIS WEEK TO HAVE THE REST OF IT LOOKED AT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO GET VERY TIGHT SO THE CONTACT EXITED THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 PONTIAC G6 (29,000 MILES) WHEN I MAKE TURNS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL SHUT OFF AND THE RADIO WILL FLASH A POWER STEERING WARNING THEN I WILL HEAR A DING SOUND AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL G6 MODELS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN A FATALITY IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. IT'S SAD THAT SOMEONE MAY HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIE BEFORE GM TAKES THIS SERIOUS. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODELS, JUST ABOUT ALL G6 VEHICLES FROM 2005 - 2008 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! *TR
