TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT ALMOST CRASHED INTO A HOUSE. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED.. SAME TIME IT TURNS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM.. REPLACED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN 1 MONTH LATER, AS SOON AS THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY I STOP AND CHECK. AND OF COURSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ERRONEOUSLY REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TINNEY GMC (11249 WEST CARSON CITY RD, GREENVALE, MI) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED IN AUGUST OF 2014 PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) FOR THE SAME FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS INSUFFICIENT. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR THE SAME FAILURE ON SEVEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONTINUING FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE WHEEL WILL STUTTER AND TURN BY ITSELF AND BEGIN TO LOCK UP AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THE CAR WAS ALREADY LOOKED AT AND TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT CHANGE AGAIN. I FEAR I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR.

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BARELY BEEN WORKING. EVER SINCE I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THEM AND HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED PLUS WIRING REDONE MORE THAN 3 TIMES. EACH TIME MY LOW BEAMS GO OUT. IT STARTED WITH ONE WORKING AND ONE NOT, AND QUICKLY LED TO BOTH GOING ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS, ALONG WITH MY FRIENDS MOM HAVING THE SAME EXACT CAR, DIFFERENT YEAR MIND YOU BUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS AND CAN'T COME ACROSS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR GM. MY INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY LIGHTS, AS THEY WON'T WORK NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FIX THEM. MY HIGH BEAMS DO SO I'VE BEEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THEM. I'M MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL MAJOR ANXIETY AND UNEASE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL DINGING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ALL THE OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

HAVE REPLACED BULBS IN HEADLIGHTS AND THE CONNECTORS YET THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL STILL NOT TURN ON HAVE TO USE BRIGHTS AND THEY SOMETIMES DONT WORK. THE FUEL SENSOR ON THE GAS TANK KEEPS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND CAUSING ENGINE TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS COMING ON WHEN ALL BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH CALIPERS AND ROTORS.

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES IN A CERTAIN PATTERN WHEN ABOVE 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. ALL 4 STRUTS ARE NEW, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, SWAY BAR LINKS, CONTROL ARMS BOTH UPPER AND LOWER, ALL BRAKE ROTORS ARE NEW. CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY ANYONE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF (CODE GIVEN IS FOR RUNNING LEAN) BUT NO MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP HAVE FOUND WHY IT'S HAPPENING. ONE DEALERSHIP EVEN TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE CARS ECU. SO THEY TOLD ME TO VERIFY IF MY CAR HAD ANY RECALLS. PLEASE, ANY HELP ABOUT THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH NOW (TODAY'S DATE 5/9/19)

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN GIVING MY WIFE ISSUES WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, ABS SENSOR COMES ON, AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR START TO DIM. THIS HAS CAUSED HER TO NEARLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A POWER ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS MORE BEHIND THE ISSUE. WHENEVER I CALLED MY GM DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSORS IN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES. SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY GM OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND HAD TO CALL THEM DIRECTLY TO FIND OUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE, MY VEHICLE HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.
