2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 G6. THERE IS A CLUNKING / POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ALSO. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, HE REPLIED "NOTHING, IT IS JUST AGGRAVATING AND YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT". *TR

STEERING PROBLEMS 2007-09: VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING, KNOCKING WHEN TURNING AND LOST POWER STEERING IN JAN 09. CAR WAS AT DEALER 3 TIMES AND HOPEFULLY NOW IT IS FIXED - REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BUT MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY AND ARE HAVING TO PAY THIS OUT OF POCKET. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED. FOLKS ARE LOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. ALSO JUST HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN JAN 09 - ALSO UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. *NJ THERE WAS ALSO A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR, STEERING COLUMN AND WHEEL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WAS NOISY AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO FREEZE UP. *JB

THE PAINT ON THE INTERIOR'S BUTTONS ARE CHIPPING OFF. I.E. THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK, THE BUTTONS TO RAISE/LOWER THE WINDOWS, THE RADIO BUTTONS. THE EXTERIOR PAINT JOB IS AWFUL. ANYTHING THAT RUBS AGAINST THE CAR INCLUDING MY NAIL WILL SCRATCH THE PAINT. *TR

CLUNKING IN THE STEERING WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD, THE PONTIAC DEALER IN THE AREA JUST DONE THE SHAFT KNUCKLE FREEING UP AND LUBRICATE THE SHAFT KNUCKLE AND RETURN THE CAR. AFTER SOME MONTHS THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. I'M WONDERING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND KIDS, PONTIAC SHALL DO A RECALL IN THIS ISSUE AND RESOLVE THE CUSTOMER COMPLAIN TO MAINTAIN STAND TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G-6. I HAD JUST GOTTEN IT OUT OF THE SHOP, AS I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND IT NEEDED REPAIRS. I DROVE IT ABOUT 25 MILES, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS IN TOWN DOING ABOUT 25 MPH. I PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD, CALLED THE AUTO BODY SHOP AND TOOK IT BACK. MY INSURANCE CO. SAID TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC (SPELLING), DONE TO SEE IF IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. WELL, IT WASN'T, SO I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. THAT'S WHEN THE AUTO BODY SHOP LOOKED IT UP AND SURE ENOUGH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY; THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE? WHY ; AFTER OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND EVEN HAD ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES, HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE? I MYSELF, COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HURT. WHY; DOES THE CONSUMER, AND ,OR, THE INS. CO. HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE FOR GM'S FAILURES? WHO IS GOING TO COME TO MY RESCUE AND PULL ME OUT OF THIS FINANCIAL BURDEN? I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN? WHY IS GM NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE? *TR

STEERING FAILURE ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN WITH 35,000 MILES. STEERING IS NOT "LOCKED" BUT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. CAN NOT TURN MORE THAN 1/4 TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. NO ACCIDENTS BUT ANY SUDDEN MANEUVERS OR LANE CHANGES ARE IMPOSSIBLE. THERE ARE ALREADY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH GM ON THIS ISSUE BUT THEY NEVER INITIATED A RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, IMMEDIATELY, THE ENGINE POWER DRASTICALLY REDUCED. THE "TRACTION CONTROL", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", AND "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THE TECHNICIAN CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED THE SAME DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THAT RECOMMENDED THE THROTTLE BODY BE REPLACED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE THAT THE REMEDY WOULD PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT IS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,400.
