2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GOES OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS AND IS NOW HAPPENING EVEN IF I AM DRIVING STRAIGHT. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING NOISE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN THAT HAPPENS WHEN I AM MAKING A LEFT TURN. *TR

PULLING OUT OF MY ROAD AND POWER STEERING JUST GIVES OUT.. I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE DITCH ACROSS THE STREET. IM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THERE WERE CARS COMING AT ME AT 55 MPH. I MANAGE TO TURN AROUND AND GO HOME, MY BOYFRIEND CHECKS IT OUT AND THE MANUAL SAYS POWER STEERING FLUID. NO POWER STEERING FLUID IN THIS CAR, ITS ALL ELECTRICAL. HE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND I'M PAYING 80 DOLLARS AN HOUR TO "DIAGNOSE" THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE DIED IF I WERE DRIVING, I'M NOT THE HULK, I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF THE POWER STEERING JUST DECIDES TO GIVE OUT ON ME. WHAT IF I WERE ON A BACK ROAD WITH LOTS OF TURNS? I WOULD HAVE CRASHED RIGHT INTO A TREE. THANK GOD I WAS JUST PULLING OUT WHEN IT ACTED UP, THANK GOD THE CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN FOR ME. *TR

IN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE HAD TO GET MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP. AFTER THE FIRST TIME GETTING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED, I HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY MONTH. MOST RECENTLY, I HAD THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, MY BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING WHEN I GO TO BRAKE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6. AT FIRST THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE KEPT FLASHING ACROSS RADIO SCREEN , EVENTUALLY POWER STEERING MECHANISM WENT OUT ALL TOGETHER WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY, AT ANY TIME. THE ONLY WAY IT RESETS IS WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, IF IT RESETS. VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO STEER. AFTER TALKING WITH DEALERSHIP, FOUND OUT THAT STEERING COLUMN AND POWER STEERING MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000.00. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FROM LANE TO LANE AND MADE A POPPING SOUNDS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED HE WAS DRIVING. HE ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALSO SHAKE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED HOW MUCH THE REPAIRS WOULD COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 73,000.

PONTIAC G6 2006 I JUST BOUGHT A USED G6, AND NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING, TAKING IT TO MY OWN MECHANIC TOMORROW, ANYBODY FOUND A REMEDY FOR THIS? IT HAS 77,00KMS. APPARENTLY I HAVE 36 DAYS FROM CERTIFICATION IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE 2005- 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS FAULTY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THERE SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE RIGHT AWAY! ONCE IT HAPPENS THE CAR IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS GM RECALLED THE CHEVY COBALTS AND THE PONTIAC G5'S SO WHY NOT THE G6 THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND PROOF TO THE COMPANY THAT THEY NEED TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE AND NEED TO RECALL THE PRODUCT. THERE HAVE BEEN DEATHS REGARDING THIS MATTER I MEAN GM MAN UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING IF YOU STILL WANT CUSTOMERS TO PURCHASE YOUR PRODUCT!! THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN KNOWING THE FEELING OF DRIVING YOUR CAR 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN THIS PROBLEMS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR YOUR DRIVING THAT'S MORE THAN A SCARY FEELING! THE PROBLEM TO FIX THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC ASSET POWER STEERING MOTOR. HELP ON THIS SITUATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FOR 1,000'S OF PEOPLE OUT THERE INCLUDING ME! *TR

GM NOT RECOGNIZING A LARGER VIN # RANGE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :09V036000 THIS INVOLVES BRAKE ILLUMINATION ACTIVATING WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN BRAKING. ISSUE IS DUE TO CORROSION ON WIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOLLOWED BY THE SOUNDING OF THE POWER STEERING WARNING CHIME. MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT NOTICED WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD INDEPENDENTLY LOCK. THE CONTACT WOULD PLAY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL IT BECAME OPERABLE. THE DEALER RESET THE CONTROL PANEL. ON HER DRIVE FROM THE DEALER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,200.
