2005 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

AFTER I HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE. IT FELT LIKE THE WHEELS WOULD GLIDE LEFT AND RIGHT ON STREET & HIGHWAY EVENTHOUGH I HAD NO MOVEMENT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I FELT THAT THE STEERING WAS NOT STABLE. I TOLD IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN. REPAIR SHOP HAD TOLD ME IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ALIGNMENT. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND ALSO FELT THE SAME THING I DID. TOOK IT IN AGAIN SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE TIME TO CHECK IT AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT GAVE ME A MESSAGE INDICATING STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I MAKE TURNS AT INTERSECTION,THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION IS MORE THAN IT IS NECESSARY. I'M TAKING THE CAR BACK MONDAY AGAIN SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 10YRS I DROVE IT. IS THERE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? *TR

TOOK MY CAR TO THE GMC. DEALER TO GET RECALLS FIXED. THEY ALSO NOTICED STRONG GAS ODOR. INSPECTION STATED I HAD A GAS LEAK AT THE TOP OF MY TANK AND IT WAS DANGEROUS BUT NO RECALL ON THIS SO ALMOST 300$LABOR +PARTS... I CALLED GMC AND THEY SAID MY CAR HAD TOO MANY MILES. AND 10 YEARS OLD. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. ANY HELP OR ADVICE PLEASE! MY CAR COULD BURST INTO FLAMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHILE INSPECTING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

IN 2012, I TOOK CAR TO WRIGHT GMC IN WEXFORD, PA FOR A RECALL ON THE STEERING. IT HAD NO PROBLEMS AT THIS POINT. THEY PERFORMED RECALL SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN ALL PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED STEERING BOX. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN IN 2013 BECAUSE IT DEVELOPED A "KNOCKING NOISE" IN THE STEERING ESPECIALLY AFTER A TURN WHEN YOU BRING THE WHEEL BACK. THEY GAVE ME A LIST OF NEEDED ITEMS, REAR BRAKES, ROTORS, FRONT END TIE ROD END SO I ASKED ABOUT THE NOISE AND HE SAID, WE DIDN'T GET THAT FAR YET. THAT IT WAS OVER ONE YEAR AND NOT COVERED BY RECALL. HE SAID THEY START LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM IN BRAKES FIRST AND WORK THEIR WAY TO STEERING. I LAUGHED WITH ANGER AND LEFT. I DID TAKE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO DID REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS BUT SAID THEY EASILY WEREN'T THE CAUSE AND WERE NORMAL AND DEFINITELY NOT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. THE TIE ROD END WAS FINE AND HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY MEANT. THEY WERE FRAUDUENTLY ABUSING THEIR SERVICE WHICH HAPPENS OFTEN WITH PA. INSPECTIONS AS WELL. THIS MECHANIC SAID THE STEERING HAD A LOT OF PLAY AND NOISE BUT WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT ALL APART TO FIND AND DIDN'T SEE THE SENSE SINCE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO BE INFORMED OF THE RECALL FROM DORMAN ON THE SHAFT INTO THE U-JOINT THAT STARTED SEPTEMBER 2014 BUT I NEVER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. I HAVE A COUPLE OTHER RECALLS TO GET REPAIRED BUT HAVE BEEN MORE CONCERNED WITH THE STEERING. IT HAS WORKED WELL SO I FIGURED IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE BUT RECENTLY, IT GOT LOUDER AND THE WHEEL DID NOT TURN PROPERLY. IT IS LIKE IT SLIPPED BUT IS WORKING AGAIN. THIS CAR IS GARAGE KEPT WITH UNDER 30K MILES ON IT. I PLAN ON CHANGING DEALER TO CRIVELLI IN MCKEES ROCKS AS I WILL NEVER GO TO WRIGHT AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE? I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. CONSUMER STATES THAT BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM REMOVING THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND TRANSMISSION ISSUE. *TA

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW MY 2005 G6 HESITATES AND JERKS SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN I PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION. FROM 0-10 MPH THE CAR TAKES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO GAIN ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE LEVEL OF DEPRESSION APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, INCLUDING A GM DEALER. NOT A SINGLE MECHANIC INCLUDING GM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I CALLED GM TO PLACE A COMPLAINT, AND I STUPIDLY THOUGHT WITH ALL THE GM ISSUES AND LAW SUITS GOING ON NOW POSSIBLY THEIR ASSISTANCE AS 1) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. 2) MY CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 63K IN MILEAGE. I EXPLAINED TO GM THAT I CANNOT AT THIS TIME SAFELY ACCELERATE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY SHOULD I GOD FORBID HAVE TO. I REQUESTED THEM TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AS THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO SPEND MORE MONEY AND TAKE IT TO ANOTHER GM DEALER TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE. TOLD THEM THAT'S STUPID,4 MECHANICS INCLUDING A DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE ISSUE. LIKE MY STEERING ISSUE (BEFORE THE RECENT RECALL) GM BASICALLY TOLD ME TO DROP DEAD. THE GM REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IF NO MECHANIC CAN FIND IT, MAYBE ITS TIME FOR A NEW CAR. *TR
