2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

IN NOVEMBER 2007 MY WIFE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH HER BRAKE LIGHTS ON HER 2006 G6. SHE WAS STOPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES BY THE LOCAL POLICE DUE TO HER BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON CONSTANTLY. ON 12/6/2007 WE TOOK OUR CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND PAID $106.94 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY R&R'D A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY FINALLY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG SINCE THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH A SECOND TIME. WE'VE CONTINUED TO HAVE SUFFER THROUGH THE PROBLEM UNTIL A CO-WORKER OF MY WIFE'S STATED THAT HIS WIFE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A GM PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL ON G6'S FOR THAT PROBLEM. TODAY WE TOOK OUR CAR TO A GM DEALER AND WAS REFUSED SERVICE BECAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER DOESN'T FALL BETWEEN 64100001 AND 64100093. WE'VE EXPERIENCED ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE MEMO AND SHE'S EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD (ALMOST BEING HIT FROM THE REAR BECAUSE DRIVERS FOLLOWING HER CAN'T TELL WHEN SHE'S BRAKING) WHEN TRAVELING BECAUSE THIS CONDITION EXIST. WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING HELP IN GETTING THIS SITUATION RESOLVED (GETTING OUR CAR FIXED). WE'VE BEEN LOYAL GM CUSTOMERS UP TO NOW, (WE ALSO OWN A BONNEVILLE AND A CHEVY VAN) BUT WITH SERVICE SUCH AS THIS THAT SITUATION IS LIKELY TO CHANGE. *TR

CLUNKING SOUND AGAIN WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL RIGHT OR LEFT, PREVIOUS REPAIR BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY ( REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC STEERING BOX) FOR SAME PROBLEM SOUND FIXED ISSUE ONLY TO HAVE IT RETURN NOW ONE YEAR LATER! UNDERSTAND STEERING PROBLEMS ARE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL!! *TR

I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT MY 06 PONTIAC G6 NEEDS A NEW LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WHEEL COULD FALL OFF. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 52,000 MILES. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD OTHER THINGS WRONG, WHEN IN RETURN THOSE PARTS WERE FINE AND THE WHOLE CONTROL ARM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER READING THROUGH SOME COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THE G6 STARTING BACK FROM 2005. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MAYBE 3-5 DAYS AGO MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I ASSUMED I NEEDED TO ADD FLUID. WELL, COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY STEERING PUMP IS ELECTRIC; SO THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO ADD FLUID. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO DIAGNOSE IT. WELL, THAT WAS DONE AND COME TO FIND OUT THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. WELL, I KEPT SEARCHING AND AFTER A FEW SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET...I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. NOW, MY CAR HAVEN'T FROZE UP ON ME YET...BUT IT HAVE BEEN PULLING LIKE I'M ON FLAT. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY; AND AS OF NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE TO DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. IF I'D NEW THIS ABOUT THIS PONTIAC I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR. I SEE WHY GMC IS GOING BANKRUPT. THERE NOT HONEST TO THE CUSTOMERS; SO WHY SHOULD WE KEEP BUYING THESE FAULTY CARS. *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE LOW, THE STEERING WHEEL KEPT JERKING A LITTLE. MY TIRES WERE FINE AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER MY CAR, GOOD THING I WAS STILL IN MY GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR

SEAT TRACKS HOLDING SEATS ON PONTIAC G6'S BOLTS & TRACKS RUSTED THROUGH & GM & DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF THE BOLT BREAKS OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE POWERSTEERING ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 SKIPS WHEN I TURN SOMETIMES. IT MAKES A VIBRATING NOISE AND FEEL WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT QUICKLY. I HAVE LOST CONTROL AT TIMES. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A POWERSTEERING FLUID RESERVOIR TO CHECK FLUID LEVELS OR ANY OTHER OBVIOUS EXTERNAL ISSUES TO THE STEERING MECHANICS. *TR

1. NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENT. JUST REGULAR NORMAL DRIVING DAY TO DAY COMMUTING. 2. SHAKY VIBRATIONS COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN. ELECTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING. STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE LEFT BY ITS SELF UNASSISTED. TALKED TO MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHY ITS DOING IT. OR EVEN HOW ON EARTH THEY CAN FIX IT WITHOUT ANYTHING ELSE BEING WRONG. SO THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT? 3. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED JUST TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MECHANICS STAYING IN TOUCH HOPING THAT NOTHING WORSE HAPPENS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WENT STRAIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LOOKED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS IT ALMOST FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS PROHIBITING THE WHEELS FROM MOVING. I RETURNED TO THE CAR'S CABIN AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING YET AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A STEERING COLUMN FAILURE ON A FAULTY SENSOR AND THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE IF THIS IS NOT HANDLED. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DISABLES EVEN WHEN PERSON IS SITTING IN SEAT. STARTED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW 75,000 MILES AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK. *TR
