2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT HAD TO ROCK OR SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIGOROUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

I BELIEVE THE U-JOINT ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH 2007 PONTIAC G6 ALSO AFFECTED MY VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT SHOWING UP UNDER THE RECALLS FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN.

AIRBAG IS NOT ON WILL NOT TURN ON. THE ELECTRONIC MOTOR LIKE ALL THE OTHER RECALLS GM SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF IS GOING OUT AND LOCKING UP STEERING. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO GET AN ATTORNEY AND FILE AGAINST GM FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF A DANGEROUS PROBLEM

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T WORK IT COMES ON WHEN WE ARE SITTING IN THE SEAT WITH THE SEATBELT FASTEN WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT OURSELVES WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS. IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DOESN'T DEPLOY THEN SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BAD AND THEN THERE IS GOING TO BE A LAWSUIT I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET A RECALL ON THIS SO I CAN GET IT FIXED

TAKATA RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR IN JANUARY. WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR IT WAS ALREADY MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE THAT WORSEN. ONCE PURCHASED AND DROVED OFF LOT I NOTICED THAT THE CIG LIGHTER/BATTERY CHARGER DIDN'T WORK EVEN WHEN I CHANGED THE FUSE. THE DOOR LOCKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOT STUCK, THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN POURING RAIN AND NOW OUT OF NOWHERE THE TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS ON A FLAT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT CONTROL POWER STEERING WEAKEN WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. POWER STEERING CAUSES LIGHTS TO DIM IN CAR AND HEADLAMPS OUTSIDE OF CAR AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY. LIGHTING FAILS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CAUSING RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION AND ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO APPEAR DIM AND NOT AT ALL WHEN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES OF VEHICLE USE: STATIONARY, CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING TOUCHED AND THEN GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PUSHED. THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH VARIOUS OTHER ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS.

POWER STIRRING WENT OUT SUDDENLY CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE AND NOT RESPOND PROPERLY TO DRIVER OPERATION. OTHER MALES HAVE HAD ISSUE BUT 2007 G6 HARD TOP CONVERTIBLE DIDN'T MAKE THAT LIST, EVEN THOUGH MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON SAME MODEL AND YEAR.

FOR AWHILE NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SO I HAD A FULL DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION DONE THAT READ NOTHING. AS A RESULT, I HAD THEM DO A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING SINCE THERE IS A SMALL JERKY FEEL EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I ALSO HAD THEM DO A BREAK FLUID EXCHANGE BUT THE NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL BLINKS. ALONG WITH THAT, MOST TIMES AFTER FUELING UP MY CAR, MY CAR DRIVES WELL AND JUST FINE BUT ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, AFTER FUELING UP, I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC PROCEEDING TO THE FARTHEST LANE SO THAT I CAN TURN LEFT INTO MY APARTMENTS THEN POP! AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE GEAR HAD LOCKED IN DRIVE. THIS SCARED ME SO BAD SO I BRAKED IN EVERY WAY I COULD HOPING I WOULDN'T CRASH THEN TRIED SHIFTING GEARS AND CRANKING MY CAR AGAIN. I GOT INTO THE GATES AND INTO THE PARKING LOT THEN MY CAR STALLED AND CUT OFF AGAIN. I FINALLY PARKED MY CAR, POPPED THE HOOD, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT I COULD SEE FROM MY VIEW. SO, THE NEXT DAY SEPTEMBER 19TH I DROVE TO CLASS THAT MORNING AND IT STALLED A BIT ANY TIME I INCREASED MY SPEED AS IF IT WANTED TO CUT OFF. I GOT INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY COLLEGE AND IT CUTS OFF AS SOON AS I BEGIN TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT BETWEEN TWO CARS. I CRANK IT UP, COMPLETE MY PARK THEN I GO INSIDE FOR CLASS UNTIL LUNCH. ON LUNCH, I CRANK UP MY CAR AND WOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FINALLY OFF BUT AS USUAL THE NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING. I TEST DRIVE MY CAR TO THE LOCAL WINN DIXIE AND BACK AND ON THE WAY BACK POP! THEN IT STALLS TO CUT OFF BUT DOESN'T CUT OFF SO I TAKE IT BACK TO MY COLLEGE BEFORE LUNCH IS OVER AND PARK IT. NOW IT'S THE END OF THE DAY AND I'M OUT OF CLASS AND HEADED HOME. THIS TIME I MAKE IT INTO THE GATE BUT I'M GETTING CLOSE TO GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AND POP! IT DOESN'T CUT OFF BUT IT'S STALLS BADLY LIKE IT WANTS TOO SO I PROCEED TO DRIVE THEN PARK IT. PLEASE, HELP.
