MY 2006 G6 HAS HAD ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING SINCE I GOT IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT 2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS DURING THE SUMMER AND I'D HAD THE CAR TWO WEEK AND POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS THE DASH. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOTHING AND TO IGNORE IT. NOW TWO YEARS LATER ITS DOING THE SAME THING, IT NORMALLY DOES THIS DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS. AT TIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO TURN BUT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN I FIRST CRANK THE CAR UP. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE POWER STEERING TIME ADJUST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, I'M CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD KEEP THIS CAR. IM REALLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I ALSO HEAR THE CLINKING NOISE WHEN I BREAK AND THUMP NOISE WHEN I TURN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IF THIS IS A PERSISTENT ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVEN AFTER ITS BEEN REPAIRED THEN IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ITS WORTH KEEPING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY G6 IS 53,000. *TR

PROBLEMS WITH CAR STARTED IN JUNE OF 06, FOR ABNORMAL NOISE, FROM UNDERNEATH CAR, CONDENSATION WAS CONSTANT IN HEADLIGHTS EVEN AFTER REPLACED. CAR DISC PLAYER WOULD CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTION AND WAS REPLACED - STEERING WAS ALWAYS SEEMED NOT JUST RIGHT. CAR WOULD ACCELERATE FOR SHORT SPURTS, TRUNK FILLED WITH WATER AFTER A RAIN REALLY FEEL THE WHOLE STABILITY OF THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SERIOUSLY LOOKED AT. HUSBAND RECEIVED BRAIN INJURY FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE HE JUST PLOWED INTO A BLOCK WALL FOR NO REASON. HE HELD A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD WITH A CURRENT CDL LICENSE. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, CURRENTLY WITH 76,400 MILES AT 21K MY BRAKES WERE ALREADY IN THE YELLOW. AT 38K, I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. AT 45K, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AGAIN. AT 50K, I HAD TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. AT 54K, I HAD TO INSTALL NEW ROTORS AND NEW FRONT BRAKES... AGAIN. I PURCHASED HIGH PERFORMANCE, CROSS-DRILLED ROTORS, AND THE BRAKES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TO GO ALONG WITH THEM, AND HAD THEM INSTALLED AT A REPUTABLE BRAKE COMPANY. AT A LITTLE OVER 54K, I HAD TO DO ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. AT 64K, ANOTHER ALIGNMENT WAS RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED. AT 71K, BRAKES ARE IN THE YELLOW AGAIN. AND NOW, TODAY, AT 76K, HAD TO RESURFACE THE NEW ROTORS, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT BRAKES ARE, ONCE AGAIN, NEARING THE RED. AND I'M PRETTY SURE, IF I HAD THE ENERGY, MONEY AND TIME TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN, IT WOULD NEED TO BE RE-ALIGNED AGAIN.
