2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WHILE STEERING. WHEN MAKING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS THERE WAS A NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS THE BRAKE LAMPS HAVE BEEN STAYING ON AT TIMES EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND ON WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. BEGINNING ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED AL THE TIME. ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2009 TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED FOR TWO DAYS ONLY. PRESENTLY THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED AS SOON AS THE CAR IS STARTED AND REMAINS ON. CALLED PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LOSS OF POWER IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. THIS BEGAN JUST AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR 7 MONTHS. THE POWER STEERING WOULD LOSS POWER RANDOMLY. APPROXIMATELY TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT. BY RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE POWER TO THE STEERING WOULD ALMOST ALWAYS RETURN. A FEW TIMES THE ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THIS THEN SHUTS OFF MY CRUISE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PEOPLE BEHIND ME DON'T KNOW WHY PUTTING ON BRAKES AND MAY THINK I'M TURNING. BEEN STOPPED BY COPS BECAUSE LIGHTS ARE ON. SHOWS THERE IS A RECALL BUT DEALER SAID MINE ISN'T ON IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND??? I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE. IS THIS CORRECT OR CAN I GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE *TR

THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT OF MY CAR HAS GONE OUT TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS OCTOBER 2007 AND THEN AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2009. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE PART. *TR

CLUNKING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURNING STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS THE STEERING SHAFT THAT IS BAD. THIS WAS REPLACED ABOUT OCT 2007 AND THEN IT WENT BAD AGAIN AND WAS REPLACED IN ABOUT DEC 2007 AND NOW IT IS BAD AGAIN AND THE PONTIAC DEALER SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY AS THE CAR HAS ABOUT 66000 MILES ON IT. I TOLD THEM THAT THEIR IS A DEFECT IN THIS PART BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR IT. *TR

UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN AT ABOUT 5 MPH, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON MY CAR ILLUMINATED AND I HAD TO USE BOTH HANDS TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY TIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO TURN, AS WELL AS VERY SHAKY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *TR
