2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I'VE ALWAYS LOOKED FOR RECALLS ON ALL MY PREVIOUS CARS AND I DID IT FOR THE 06' PONTIAC G6 THAT I AM CURRENTLY PAYING FOR....SO...FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS AND THAT GM WAS EVEN TRYING TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE......WELL.....I CALLED PONTIAC CUSTOMER CARE AND GAVE MY VIN NUMBER FOR THEM TO SEARCH FOR ANY RECALLS AND THE REP SAID THAT HE COULDN'T SEE ANY RECALLS FOR THAT CAR BUT THAT MY CALL WOULD BE FILED IF ANYTHING RISES UP LATER ON....WELL.....HE DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED AT ANY DEALERSHIP EVEN AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT THE COMPLAINT WAS POSTED IN THE GOVERNMENT SITE (NHTSA) AND SEVERAL OTHER SITES ALL OVER THE INTERNET....OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE DENYING IT..... I WON'T BUY AMERICAN CARS EVER AGAIN. ....SO AFTER HANGING UP WITH GM WENT OUT TO BUY AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT FOR MY FRONT SEATS...BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM....THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH THEM ON.....AND IT DID......SAT DOWN ON PASSENGER SEAT AND AIRBAG LIGHT SAT ERRATICALLY SWITCHING UP AS I MOVED ON THE SEAT.....SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES AND ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS 3 MONTHS OLD. HAVE HAD ROTORS MACHINED 2 TIMES BY DEALERSHIP SO FAR AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ON FEB 10TH OF THIS YEAR AND WE REAR ENDED A MINI VAN IN FRONT OF US.. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW OUR ROTORS ARE NEEDING REPLACED AT UNDER 18 K MILES AND THE DEALER WANTS A LOT TO REPLACE THEM. HAVE BEEN ONLINE LOOKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHY WON'T PONTIAC DO A RECALL ON THIS?*TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING STEERING/SUSPENSION PROBLEMS STARTING TWO MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE FIRST INCIDENT STARTED IN AUGUST OF 2006. I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE OF A RATTLE IN THE FRONT END WHEN VEHICLE WAS WARMED UP. SERVICE DEPT. REPLACED THE ENGINE STABILIZER/SNUBBER. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY OF 2008. I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE THERE WAS A RATTLE IN THE FRONT END OVER BUMPS AND WHEN TURNING . THE SERVICE DEPT. REPLACED THE LEFT HAND STRUT UPPER MOUNT AND LUBED THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND RESET THE COLLAR ON THE RACK AND PINION. THE THIRD INCIDENT HAPPENED IN JULY OF 2008. I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE I FELT A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE STEERING AND IT WORSENED WHEN I WAS STOPPING. THE SERVICE DEPT. THEN REPLACED THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM. MY CAR IS NOW MAKING MORE NOISES IN THE FRONT END AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT SERVICED ON AUGUST 8TH (14 DAYS AFTER LAST INCIDENT). THIS CAR HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END. I FEEL THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE SUSPENSION ON THESE G6'S. THEY ARE TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS. I WENT ON A TRIP THIS PAST WEEKEND AND DROVE SOME WINDY ROADS AND THOUGHT EITHER MY FRONT END WAS GOING TO SHAKE TO PIECES OR I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM #1 COCHRAN OF ROBINSON AND FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT I HAD SQUEALING COMING FROM THE FRONT END. UPON HAVE THE TIRES AND BRAKES CHECKED NOTHING COULD BE FOUND TO BE WRONG. I JUST HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT THE TIE RODS WERE BOTH COMPLETELY WORN OUT. THIS IS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND IT HAS NOW COST ME WELL OVER $1,100 TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN PONTIAC G6 GT ON START UP. IF YOU TURN IT OFF AND START AGAIN,IT COMES BACK, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL FAIL DURING DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

PONTIAC G6 2006 POWER STEERING WENT OUT. VEHICLE BOUGHT IN DEC 06 THIRD TIME INTO DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR SOON AFTER BOUGHT, COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN FEW MONTHS LATER; DEALER FIXED SOMETHING IN STEERING COLUMN. POWER STEERING OUT AGAIN CURRENTLY IN WITH DEALER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY PONTIAC G6 IT IS A 2006. THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT AND WE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR JUST ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT WENT OUT WHEN I WENT TO TURN AND HAS NOT WORKED RIGHT SINCE. IT IS A USED CAR. BUT, IT SHOULD OF NOT WENT OUT THAT QUICKLY. IT IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND I AM SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE OR RIDE IN IT. *TR UPDATE (10/6/08):NOT REPAIRED YET. HE (THE MECHANIC) SAID HE HAD TO TEAR APART THE CENTER DASH TO GET TO THE COMPUTER CHIP THAT WAS IN THERE.

AS I WAS DRIVING A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I LOOKED FOR THE RESERVOIR BUT COULD NOT FIND IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ELECTRIC. ON MY WAY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT, THE STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT. *TR UPDATE (10/4/08): WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT, I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR STILL, BUT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT DID SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND DRIVE IT A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD BE SURE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ON RETURN OF THE CAR THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT DID. I HAVE SINCE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. HOPEFULLY THAT LUCK CONTINUES.

I'M FINANCING 2006 PONTIAC G6, BEEN HAVING POWER STEERING PROBLEMS SINCE APRIL 2008, VIBRATION OVER 55MPH, LOOSE STEERING WHILE ON HWY, STEERING COLUMN AND SHAFT REPLACED IN APRIL 2008 AND STILL HAVING SAME MSG ALERT OF POWER STEERING. GM NEED TO RECALL BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT AND A FAMILY LIKE MINE START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER LOT AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE POWER WINDOWS. IN ADDITION, THE CELL PHONE CHARGER FUSE CONTINUED TO BLOW OUT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS BUBBLING IN THE PAINT JOB THAT WAS ALSO REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE STEREO CHANGES FROM XM FM TO AM. THE SCREEN FOR THE XM RADIO IS BLANK, THE CLOCK IS ALWAYS BEHIND, AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEVER WORKS PROPERLY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE TICKS PERIODICALLY AND IT SOMETIMES STALLS UPON STARTING. THE NUTS IN THE DOOR LOOSEN EVERY TWO WEEKS AND MAKE A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN THEY ARE COMING LOOSE. THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATE 09/10/08 *CW THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND WAS REPLACED, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT RIGHT. THE DRIVE SHAFT BEGAN TO UNUSUAL NOISES. UPDATED 09/10/08. *JB
