2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

JUST THIS PAST WINTER I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6. I HAVE HAD ON 2 OCCASIONS MY CENTER DISPLAY DING WITH A WARNING THAT STATED "POWER STEERING". WHEN I TRY TO TURN MY CAR IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE OTHER PONTIAC VEHICLES THAT ARE UNDER RECALL AND I IMPLORE YOU THAT YOU ALSO ISSUE IT FOR THE PONTIAC G6 AS WELL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING MOTOR GIVING OUT. I HAVE READ ON BLOGS ABOUT OTHER G6 OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUGUST OF 2009. WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF OWNING IT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WILL GO OUT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE IN TURN, MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT PRESENTS. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, AND TODAY I WAS QUITE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT MY 2006 G6 WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOW CAN YOU LEAVE OFF A CAR THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED? THE PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION STATES IT WAS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT MANUFACTURING. PROTECT THE CONSUMER, AND DO THE RIGHT THING HERE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, MOMENTS LATER THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 90000. UPDATED 04/13/10. *LJ UPDATED 09/21/10

THE POWER STEERING IN OUR PONTIAC G6 KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY WHILE TURNING, PARKING OR GOING AT A SLOWER PACE. IT HAS TAKEN ME OFF THE ROAD AND MADE ME STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF STREETS TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G-6 THAT IS HAVING THE POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVEN A VERY SLOW SPEEDS--THIS DOESN'T OCCUR AT ALL TIMES BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AUTO WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT GM RECALL. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING FAILURE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. TWICE WHILE I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND OCCURRED AS I WAS TURNING AND WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. EVEN WITH MY TEENAGE SON AND I WE COULD BARELY GET THE CAR TURNED AND OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID MY POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD GONE OUT AND AFTER ALMOST $800 HAD IT REPLACED. THE DEALER KEPT THE FAULTY PART. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT PONTIAC HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER IT ONLY WENT THROUGH 70,000 MILES AND AT THE TIME OF MY SERVICE I HAD 70,107 MILES AND IT COULD NOT BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANT. SINCE THAT REPAIR I STILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS USUALLY WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE AND WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE POWER STEERING USUALLY RETURNS HOWEVER THERE ARE MANY TIMES IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PULL OVER AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. WITH THE RECALL ON THE PONTIAC G5 IT SEEMS GM KNOWS OF A POWER STEERING PROBLEM AND THE G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED ALSO. *TR

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN OUR 2006 PONTIAC G6 THREE TIMES NOW. ONCE WHILE DRIVING UNDER 25 MPH AND TWICE WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. IT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. YOU HEAR DINGING AND THE DISPLAY READS "POWER STEERING" THE WHEEL BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THE ONLY WAY WE HAVE FOUND TO MAKE IT GO AWAY IS TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN IT ON AND OFF. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED. *TR
