2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER STEERING WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FAIL AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIE ROD AND THE INTERMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT SEVERAL TIMES UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 60 MPH, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN, ALMOST CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE FAILURE AND ADVISED TRADING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING UNIT. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME IT COULD BE IN EXCESS OF $1000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF PONTIAC, ALL OF WHICH OCCUR BETWEEN 55,000 AND 60,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT. STILL GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS DEFECT BY ISSUING A RECALL. ONE WOULD THINK WITH $52 MILLION DOLLARS OF AMERICANS TAX DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKETS THAT THEY COULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS ISN'T ABOUT BAILOUTS THOUGH. THIS IS ABOUT PUTTING FAMILIES, MOTHERS AND CHILDRENS LIVES IN DANGER. I AM SENDING THIS IN HOPES OF THIS AGENCY BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH GM TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND FORCE THEM TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED. THIS ISN'T A MATTER OF A POOR PAINT JOB HERE, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THE STEERING COMPONENTS OF A CAR. I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHICH THEY INFORMED THAT THE OWNER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SERVICE REPAIR EXPENSE. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS). THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN MY CAR AND I LOST CONTROL TRYING TO TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE LIGHT CAME ON PRIOR TO MY TURNING AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD EVER HAPPENED. I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS OFF A BIT THE WEEK PRIOR, HOWEVER, I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED THAT WEEK AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR MAY PULL TO THE LEFT AFTER. WHEN TRYING TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE CAR, I FOUND THERE ISN'T A SPOT FOR THIS AND THEY ARE ELECTRIC. THANKFULLY I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. POWER STEERING JUST CUTS OUT AND MAKES THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, CAR STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING AT AROUND 60,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE A CLUNK NOISE WHEN STEERING WHEEL TURNED AT LOW SPEEDS, WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE OUTER TIE RODS. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND THUMP. NOW THE MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM, BUSHINGS ETC. MY WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION IS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS. MY CAR VEERED OFF TO THE NEXT LANE ON ITS OWN. LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ITS IN THE SHOP NOW, ALSO NEEDING THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED. PLEASE RECALL THIS. MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BE HIT. THANKS. *TR

THE PONTIAC G6 2006 HAS A PROBLEM WITH ITS STEERING. THE DRIVER HAS TO HAVE MUSCLES IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN. IF IT IS A SHARP TURN YOU WILL BE UP ON THE CURB. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ONE WOULD THINK THE CAR COMPANY WOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY DID RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP UNTIL THE YEAR OF 2005!!! PLEASE HELP!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 87,000.

MY PONTIAC G6 2006 POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT FIRST I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH SO, BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL GOES OUT TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING WOULD COST ME 1,200 AND IT WASN'T UNDER RECALL I THINK GM NEED TO PAY FOR THIS WHO WANTS A CAR THAT DOESN'T HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP ATLEAST I COULD SEE IF IT NEEDED A BELT OR FLUID THIS IS A MESS. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G-6 I-STEERING SHAFT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED TO FIX A THUD IN THE STEERING OF THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE BUT MANY OTHERS AND PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE AND THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD DEF. BE RECALLED. THE CHEVY COBALTS AND PONTIAC G5'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS WHY NOT THE G6? THE POWER STEERING CAN BE FAULTY ON THIS CAR GOING OUT AND CAN CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. THINK ABOUT IT IF YOUR DRIVING DOING 60 TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL OR STEER YOUR CAR NOT ONLY IS THAT SCARY, BUT A CAR ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN!! *TR
