2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I'M HEARING A INCREASINGLY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND FEELING EXCESSIVE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CRACKING SOUND WHEN TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE U JOINT BEARING MAY BE THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. PENSKE CADILLAC OF SOUTH BAY (18600 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90504, (877) 591-3502) STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,786.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST REGARDING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS WITH THIS CAR. MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OUT EVEN WITH ME HAVING IT REPLACED TIME AFTER TIME. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TESTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR AND THEY HAVE COME BACK SAYING THE CAR IS FINE. ALTHOUGH WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT, SOMEHOW A LIGHT COMES ON. EXAMPLES INCLUDE('ESC SYSTEM OFF' LIGHTS, 'SERVICE TRACTION' LIGHTS, 'TC' OFF. THE MAIN ISSUE THAT I AM REPORTING JUST OCCURRED TWO DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE WALMART PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND THE LIGHT ON MY CAR APPEARED 'POWER STEERING OFF SERVICE ESC' MY STEERING WHEEL THEN STIFFENED UP AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. THERE WAS A CAR TURNING RIGHT INFRONT OF ME THAT I ALMOST HIT, BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL. I THEN TOOK MY CAR INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO A PONTIAC OR A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BEING ELECTRICAL IS NOT SAFE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS MODEL AS WELL. I USE MY CAR TO COMMUTE TO SCHOOL AND WORK EVERYDAY AND THIS PROBLEM POSES AS NOT ONLY A SAFETY RISK BUT A INCONVENIENCE TO MY EVERYDAY LIFE. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIACS AND I HAVE NOTICED IT'S A REOCCURRING ISSUE, THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO CUSTOMERS WITH ALL OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO NOT ONLY HAVE THIS CAR FIXED BUT ALSO FOR A RENTAL CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER OF PONTIAC AND I WOULD LIKE ACTION TO BE TAKEN. THANK YOU.

THE AIR BAGS LIKE SAY SERVICE BUT NO ONE SEE WHAT'S WRONG, THE FUEL CAR WILL NOT CRANK AFTER GAS IS PUT IN. IT ASK TO CHECK GAS CAP EVEN PUT NEW CAP ON AND STI NOT WORKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE CONTACT CALLED DAVIDSON CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF ROME AT 315-337-2440 (LOCATED AT 5871 ROME-TABERG RD, ROME, NY 13440) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,119.

STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING EVERY OTHER DAY SO I AVOID THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IF THIS WAS TO HAPPEN. VERY HARD TO CONTROL / STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN START THE CAR AGAIN TO UNLOCK THE STEERING. NOW A WARNING CHIME CONSTANTLY BEEPS WHILE DRIVING AND ONLY STOPS THEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.

STEERING PUMP CONTINUED PROBLEMS. WASN'T MADE AWARE AS AN OWNER THAT THERE WAS SPECIAL COVERAGE TO REPLACE THESE AT MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. IT CAUSE THE MODULAR TO MAKE IT NOT RESPOND TO STEERING. AS A CUSTOMER WE HAVE FIXED IT TWICE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT THE CAR HAD STEERING. DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT AS OWNERS LIKE YOU DO WITH YOUR RECALLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL BE MY EXPENSE @ 900$. THAT STEERING COVERAGE FOR THE RAN OUT AT 150,000 MILES. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER 900 TO FIX. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SOMETHING THAT'S SAFETY. IT BROKE AGAIN WHILE TRANSPORTING MY GRANDCHILDREN. AGAIN, THIS COVERAGE TO FIX IT WAS NOT BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION UNTIL COVERAGE RAN OUT AT 150,000 MILES. YOU FIXED THE OTHER 4 MANUFACTURERS RECALLS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MADE THE CONSUMER AWARE, EXCEPT WITH THIS STEERING SAFETY (COVERAGE) . IT PUT MY FAMILY AT HUGE SAFETY RISK. COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU'RE NOT FIXING IT. DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DIDN'T SEND ANY NOTICE OF THE SAFETY RECALL OR COVERAGE (YOUR WORDS) BEFORE NOW OR EVER, WE HAD TO GET IT FROM THE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP . SO I PICK UP A CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD $900 AND YOUR COMPANY WILL NOT COVER IT! SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO A LIFELONG CHEVY CUSTOMER..

TAKATA RECALL SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 THE WORDS POWER STEERING IN MY CAR POPS UP ON MY DASH WHICH LOCKS UP MY STEERING WHEEL AS I'M DRIVING THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE ALMOST GOT IN TO ACCIDENT LUCKILY I NEW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COMPUTERS AND I FOUND A WAY TO DRIVE IT EVEN WITH THAT BAD MALFUNCTION WHICH I'LL HAVE TO TURN MY ENGINE OFF REPOSITION MY STEERING WHEEL AND TURN IT BACK ON I CALL IT RESET BASICALLY THIS KINDA TELLS THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR THAT IT'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING AND ONCE I TOOK IT TO GET CHECK OUT THEY SAID THAT IT WAS FINE THAT I SHOULD BE OK WELL THAT WAS A LIE I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY PONTIAC G6 2009 I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND MY CHILDREN SAFETY I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND IF THIS DOESN'T GET LOOKED INTO SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT REAL BAD ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY I STOP DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE WORD POWER STEERING WILL POP UP ON MY DASH AND I CANT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL BARELY

CONSTANT FUEL SMELL, AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE RUBBER HOSE ON TOP OF FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED AND IS EMITTING GAS SMELL. SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

ON THE NIGHT OF DECEMEBER 31, 2018, THE FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING READY TO GO OUT WHEN WE NOTICED THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND ALL THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON AND DIM. PRIOR TO THIS NIGHT, MY SPOUSE NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON AS WELL SO HE REMOVED THE FUSE AS A TEMPORARY FIX SO THAT I MAY GO TO WORK. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLS THAT I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT. IM UNCERTAIN OF THE EXACT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THE RECALLSB I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH EITHER THE IGNITION OR THE BRAKE PEDAL SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
