2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

2006 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. WHILE DRIVING IT GET HARD TO STEER IF I PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR THEN RESTART IT SEEMS OK. HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH TO CAUSE CONCERN FOR AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH A MANUFACTURE DATE OF AUGUST 2005. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT CONSTANTLY ON THIS VEHICLE(DAILY), REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE, SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS, BACKING-UP,MOVING FORWARD, TURNING, DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (IN THE THOUSANDS) ONLINE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I HAD NO WARRANTY NOTHING COULD BE DONE OTHER THAN PAYING A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL (900-1200). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. I AM CURRENTLY FINANCING THIS CAR AND I THINK IT'S AWFUL THAT THEY ARE STILL SELLING THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE PLEASE HELP US. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT THE STEERING IS LOCKING UP. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NO RECALL. I GOT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER NOW IM SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE IT. *TR

I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I WAS MAKING A LEFT ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME, SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. UPON MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ALMOST EVERY MORNING WITHOUT FAIL. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN AND I NOTICE THERE'S A "SCRAPING" OR "SCRUBBING" SOUND WHEN I BEGIN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ASAP. I KNOW THEY DON'T WANT A LAWSUIT WHICH COULD RESULT IF THIS ISN'T RESOLVED IF , GOD FORBID, SOMEONE IS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL OR WHERE YOU'RE AT WHEN IT FAILS. THE GOVERNMENT OR GM NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING SOON! *TR

FAULTY STEERING. WHEN YOUR DRIVING IT LOCKS UP AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. SPEED VARIOUS BETWEEN TIME TO TIME WHEN IT HAPPENS. HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT PULLS TO THE LEFT WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD IT INSPECTED BY 2 DIFFERENT AUTO MECHANICS, BOTH OF WHOM INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. UPON INSPECTING THIS CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE POWER STEERING IS ENGAGING BY ITSELF AND CAUSING THE STEERING TO TURN LEFT WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT AT THE WHEEL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PONTIAC SHOULD PAY TO REPAIR, AS IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR GIVES OUT SPORADICALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER WEEK. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AS OF YET, SINCE I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THEM. *TR

MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPT. 2007. 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY. THEY WOULD EITHER COME ON AND STAY ON OR BLINK OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN AT LEAST 9 TIMES AND THE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND I'M WORRIED THAT SOMEONE WILL REAR-END US WHILE MY SON AND DAUGHTER ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE'VE CONTACTED GM TWICE NOW AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE. THEY REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER G6 OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL, WHICH THEY APPLIED A LUBRICANT TO THE WIRING; THIS HAS NOT EVEN BEGAN TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. TO ME THIS WAS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE RECALL THAT COULD BE ISSUED AND WAS ACCEPTED FOR SOME REASON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR GM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR PRODUCT THEY PRODUCED? IT'S A NO WONDER WHY MORE CONSUMERS PURCHASE FOREIGN CARS OVER OUR OWN. WE DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SON RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF THIS CAR. THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO MY FAMILY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE STEERING RACK FAILED APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS AGO WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN IT FAILED THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER IN ONE DIRECTION, THE RACK WAS REPLACED BY GM. THE RACK HAS FAILED AGAIN AND NOW LITERALLY LOCKS UP TO WHERE YOU CANNOT STEER IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

ELECTRIC STEERING SHORTS OUT AND YOU LOSE THE POWER STEERING. IT WORKS FINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS GONE. *TR
