2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR GETS EXTREMELY COLD MY CAR HAS SEVERAL PROBLEMS. IT STARTS USUALLY WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS GOING OUT, TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING, DASH LIGHTS WORKING RANDOMLY, AIR BAG LIGHTS SAYING THEY ARE OFF AND ON AT THE SAME TIME, WINDOWS NOT GOING UP AND DOWN, RADIO AND TIME RESETS ITSELF, SEAT BELT SENSOR GOES OFF WHEN SEAT BELT IS ON, AIR BAG STAYING OFF WHEN 180LBS IS IN THE SEAT, HARD STARTING, LONG STARTS. THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2005, IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS. AGAIN TODAY IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR LIGHTS NOT WORKING. DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I KEEP TELLING THEM IT HAS TO BE COLD AND WET, NOT KEEP IN DOORS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE CONTACT'S 105 LBS. WIFE IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO ILLUMINATE, BUT DOES NOT. HIS WIFE TESTED TWO DIFFERENT 2008 VEHICLES AND THE AIR BAGS WORKED PROPERLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,507 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN, IT HAS 38,934 MILES ON IT, LAST WEEK I BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY STEERING THE CAR AND THEN IT BEGAN TO MAKE AN AWFUL NOISE AT FIRST WHEN TURNING THEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME OF A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BOX AND COLUMN. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY CAR TO THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO GM FOR ALL REPAIRS. *TR

MY POWERSTEERING WENT OUT. WHEN I START MY CAR IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS TO THE LEFT. NOW I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY CAR. I WAS COMING BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS WITH MY 3 KIDS FROM THE HOLIDAYS AND MY POWER STEERING MESSED UP. I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED THAT CAN KILL SOMEONE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT RIGHT AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE EITHER GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN PULLING TO THE LEFT FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. THE STEERING HAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP TWICE. IF I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE LEFT. WHILE DRIVING, IT PULLS TO THE LEFT CONTINUOUSLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO TURN RIGHT IN CURVES. *TR

SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE LEFT HAND TURN WHEN, WITHOUT WARNING MY POWER STEERING CUT OUT. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL UNTIL I STOPPED IT. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND STARTING IT BACK UP, IT WAS FINE. MY WIFE HAD IT HAPPEN TO HER DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I DO NOT THINK SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A TURN WITH IT. SHE HAS TO DRIVE THIS CAR TO WORK EVERY DAY AND THAT PLAYS HEAVY ON MY MIND. AFTER HEARING IT HAPPENED TO HER AGAIN TODAY, I TOOK IT DOWN TO THE LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPAIR IT FRIDAY MORNING. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE STEERING SYSTEM, BUT THIS CAR IS GOING TO KILL ONE OF US EVENTUALLY. *TR

STARTED CAR AND LET RUN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE WORK BECAUSE OF THE COLD MORNING. WENT TO LEAVE AND COULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. MUSCLED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT SEEMED TO HELP. DID THE SAME THING THIS AFTERNOON WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE WORK FOR HOME. DID THE SAME THING AS THIS MORNING. AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING THE STEERING SEEMED FREED UP AND HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS. I WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL BE MAKING A TRIP TO THE STEALERSHIP. CAR IS AN '06 G6 SEDAN WITH 48,000 MILES.*CN

WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED MY CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT,AND I HEAR A THUMPING SOUND , THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS FLAT. IT WAS SPLIT AT THE SIDES 3 INCHES FROM THE TOP OF THE TIRE. AFTER TAKING THE TIRE TO THE DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE SINCE THE TIRE ONLY HAD 192332 MILES IN IT. MY CONCERN IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE OTHER TIRES. THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY DRIVING AT 30MPH, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER AND THE TIRE BLEWOUT?I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE TIRE SPLIT ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ON THE INSIDE AS WELL.IWANTED THE DEALER TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES BUT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONE. I ALSO CALLED THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES.THEY SAID NO I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES. P216/60R16 UNIROYAL TIGER PAW TOURING (5R)*CN

FAILURE OF POWER STEERING IN PONTIAC G6 INDICATED BY "POWER STEERING" SENSOR. INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR BEING DONE AT SUDBAY MOTORS, GLOUCESTER, MA. FRIENDS OWNING THE SAME MODEL & YEAR HAD SAME PROBLEM AND REPAIR COMPLETED THIS YEAR UNDER WARRANTY, MY CAR IS OVER THE MILES LIMIT FOR WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE OUT FOR A DRIVE, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO GO INTO A TURN AND WITH NO WARNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND UPON RESTARTING HAD MY STEERING BACK. HAD THIS BEEN MY WIFE THIS HAPPENED TO, SHE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE WRECKED. UPON COMING HOME TODAY MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME THAT MY WIFE CALLED AND SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDS PS FLUID SO SHE HAS APPARENTLY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE USES THIS CAR TO GO TO WORK AND BACK AND NOW THIS IS GOING TO WORRY ME SICK. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO. *TR
