2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY POWER STEERING HAS BEEN DISABLED NUMEROUS TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST IT WOULD DISABLE UPON IGNITION. I AT TIMES RESTART 3X BEFORE IT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. NOW IT'S GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS! CURRENTLY AT 71,000 MILES. I DRIVE CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY TO AND FROM WORK.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (BERGER CHEVROLET, 2525 28TH ST SE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR KEEPS MAKING THE HEADLIGHT GO OUT MORE THEN IT STAYS ON....I THINK IT'S A POOR SETUP THE WAY IT IS CONNECTED IN THE CAR....WE HAVE REPLACED THE CONNECTOR SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE!

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 WAS IN PARK. STARTED MY CAR WITH REMOTE STARTER AND OPENED DOOR WITH IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE ALARM WENT OFF ABOUT MY POWER STEERING. IT WAS FROZEN AND COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS UNDRIVEABLE. LUCKILY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD AAA TOW IT TO MY MECHANIC. FAILED TWO CODES C0460 AND C0545 FOR THE STEERING TORQUE INPUT SENSOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN FREEZE UP ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. MOST LIKELY NEED A NEW STEERING COLUMN. ESTIMATE TO FIX AROUND $700. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM ON THESE CARS THAT GM FAILS TO RECOGNIZE. IT'S QUITE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN HAPPEN A MOMENTS NOTICE.

AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THERE IS ALREADY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. RESTARTING THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES 'FIX' THE ISSUE FOR A WHILE, BUT USUALLY AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES POWER STEERING WILL BE LOST. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME CONSTANT. TCM WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED DUE TO SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT THIS WAS ONLY 3 YEARS AGO. STEERING WHEEL ALSO CONSTANTLY SHAKES WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING.
