2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED AND SHOOK. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED GREENWOOD CHEVROLET INC (4695 MAHONING AVE, YOUNGSTOWN, OH 44515, (330) 792-5252) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V0640000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK THIS MORNING ON A CITY STREET DOWNTOWN DALLAS IT WENT INTO A FLAM AND START SMOKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND DIAL 911 AND THEY CAME OUT AND LET THE FIRE OUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME TO WATCH THE CAR BECUZ IT CAN START ANOTHER FIRE THE SPRAYED UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE DASH BOARD INSIDE THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT COULD BE SOME WIRING ISSUE BUT THEY WASN'T SURE. SO I CALLED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO GOOD YEAR. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD LOOK AT THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW AND WILL CALL ME ONCE THEY TAKE A LOOK

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL. IT HAS 110,756 MILES AND IT BREAKING DOWN BADLY. THE GEAR SHIFT, TRANSMISSION AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROL ALL STARTED TO MESS UP AROUND THE SAME TIME. MY FRIENDS FATHER HAD THE SAME EXACT CAR A FEW YEARS AGO AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND/OR THE MANUFACTURER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. ALSO HAVE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL UNUSUALLY HARD TO FLOOR TO GET TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON PONTIAC G6 CARS FOR THIS ( RECALL#13036). I TYPED MY VIN NUMBER IN THIS WEBSITE AND IT SAID 0 RECALLS ON IT. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. NOT SURE IF THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON FEB. 28, 2019 BUT APPROXIMATELY THEN. AND IT PROBABLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN PARK MODE ALTHOUGH CAN'T BE SURE.

I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR AND AIR FILTER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, HAVE FOUND THAT MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING EVERY ISSUE TH'S TO HAVE SEEN IN PREVIOUS GM VEHICLE SAFETY RECALLS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VIN NUMBER SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THOSE THAT HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED HAS HAVING HAD THOSE ISSUES ALTHOUGH IT CURRENTLY IS EXPERIENCING THEM. I WANT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT THAT THE VIN NUMBER SEARCH TOOL IS NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH TO DETERMINE THE VALIDITY OF A CLAIM. I SAY THIS BECAUSE EVEN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THE TOOL SAYS THAT NOT ALL VIN NUMBERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH A RECALL HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ASSOCIATED TO ANY RECALLS. AS THERE DO EXIST CURRENT RECALLS FOR ALL 07 PONTIAC G6 MODELS, THERE ARE NO RECALLS RELATED TO MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. BUT, ALL OF THE RECALLS DIRECTLY MENTION EVERY ISSUES THAT MY CAR IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING. INCLUDING, THE TRANSMISSION NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING DUE TO A MADNESS OR BREAK IN THE SHIFT CABLE, THE POWER STEERING MOTOR SUDDENLY DYING, THE CAR EXPERIENCING A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, ETC. EACH OF THESE ISSUES IS DIRECTLY MENTIONED IN A RECALL FOR G6 MODELS IN GENERAL, BUT FOR SOME REASON, NOT FOR MY CAR, SPECIFICALLY?

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE WEEKS AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ACROSS MY RADIO WITH BEEPS, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN IN STATIONARY AND DRIVING AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WOULD SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. I WOULD PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN ONCE AGAIN SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE LAST 5 DAYS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT ANY DRIVING SPEED, I WOULD STILL HAVE SOME ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT IT IS NOT EASY AND MAKES THINGS MORE DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING OR DURING A TURN. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO MECHANIC, MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED : TORQUE SENSOR IN THE EPS SYSTEM. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FOR THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 WHICH WAS DATED FEBRUARY 4,2015. I WAS READING THE RECALL WHICH WAS DESCRIBED AS TO WHAT MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY CAR. THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 I ALSO CAME ACROSS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT -LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. MY CARE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY RECALL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS DEFECT, WHEN THERE IS A RECALL AND A SPECIAL COVERAGE. GM TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN RECALL AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE WAS EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING, WHEN AT ONE POINT GM WAS FIXING THIS PROBLEM IN 2007-2010 PONTIAC G6. GM TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE GOT A LETTER ABOUT THIS SPECIAL WARRANTY. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER, OR I WOULD HAVE GOT THIS COMPLETED AT THAT TIME. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RELOOKED AT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE ON THE ROADS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH, THE STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT AN ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED. THE ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V046000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

SUDDEN LOSE OF POWER STEERING. AFTER CAR STARTS UP, POWER STEERING IS PRESENT, HOWEVER AFTER VEHICLE IS MOVING, SUDDEN LOSE OF THE POWER STEERING OCCURS AND NOTIFICATIONS ON DASHBOARD. GM STATES THIS IS NOT RELATED TO NHTSA BULLETIN 15V064000, HOWEVER IT IS FOR THE SAME EXACT MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, AND PART THAT IS AFFECTED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 14772. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE AS EXPECTED WITHOUT KNOWING WHEN THE POWER STEERING WILL BE LOST. SERIOUS POTENTIAL OF CRASH AS TURNING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE WHILE IN MOTION. IT OCCURS FOR EVERY POWER UP OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HAVE GM INVESTIGATE THAT MORE 2006-2007 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES WITH THAT SAME TORQUE SENSOR BE IMPACTED BY RECALL 14722.

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 HAS HAD THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF, THE POWER STEERING USUALLY COMES BACK ON WHEN I RESTART THE CAR. THE LAST 2 TWOS, IT GOES BACK OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TURNING OF THE CAR.
