2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH THE POWER STEERING WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKING LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER, HOWEVER; THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO JERK. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

ROTORS WARP EVERY 4,000-6,000 MILES. ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED 4 TIMES AT DEALER 10 TIMES. FRONT WHEELS VIBRATE AT 45 MPH. VIBRATES VERY BAD AT 70-75 MPH. *JB

I NOTICED A 'BLOBBY'-LIKE PLASTIC SOMETHING COMING UP FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE DASH, ESP. WHEN IT WAS HOT. THIS HAD ONLY BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WEEK OR SO. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER, INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE WEATHER STRIPPING COMING AWAY FROM THE DASH AND THE WINDSHIELD.*JB

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED ON, RAN ROUGH-TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (27,245 MI) & THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR BUT IT WAS BETTER TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MODULE. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 FOUR DOOR CAR THAT HAS NO CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ON THE BACK DOOR AND MY SON HAS FALLEN OUT OF THE CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. *JB

CAR WILL NOT START. IT WILL SHAKE LIKE ITS TRYING TO START BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. IT WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. I HAD BATTERY TEST DONE ON 33342 MILES AND IT STATED RATING:525 CCA MARGINAL BATTERY RESULTS:12.77V 507 CCA BATTERY MAY FAIL TO START VEHICLE BELOW 4 F OR UNDER EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS **CONSIDER REPLACING YOUR BATTERY BEFORE IT IS EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURE EXTREMES. THIS IS WHAT MY BATTERY TEST RESULTS. IT LEFT ME THREE TIMES!!!!! ONLY 33342 MILES... I GUESS I WILL GO TO GMC PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND GET A FULL TEST DONE BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES. MY BATTERY MUST BE REPLACED..... *JB

I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC G6 GT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE HORN WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS REPLACED. 6-8 WEEKS LATER, IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER HORN REPLACEMENT. THEN, THE STARTER SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS HANGING UP, LIKE IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED. SO, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SIMPLY RESET THE COMPUTER AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. 2 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I DISCOVERED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A MODULE WAS REPLACED REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE NEXT WEEK IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. 2 WEEKS AFTER THE RETURN, GUESS WHAT! IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. I GOT THE CAR BACK LAST WEEK, AND OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE WAS NOT WORKING YET AGAIN. NOT ONLY THE BRAKES/CRUISE, BUT THE STARTER STARTED HANGING AGAIN AND NOW THE DRIVERS' SIDE HEATED SEAT COMES ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF!!! MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE TUESDAY AND PONTIAC SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A BUY BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS ARE ELECTRICAL AND NOT MECHANICAL! I GUESS I WILL JUST WAIT ON IT TO CATCH FIRE! *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 - I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR STEERING PROBLEMS. FIRST REPAIR WAS A REPLACEMENT OF STEERING RACK AND ELECTRIC DRIVE. UNIT FAILED 2 WEEKS LATER AND ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THREE WEEKS AFTER THAT STEERING STARTED TO MAKE A POPPING NOISE DURING RIGHT TURNS. DEALER GREASED A JOINT BUT THERE IS STILL A HARD SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING IN THAT DIRECTION. I HAVE NOT SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT BUT AM FEARFUL OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STEERING DUE TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I AND OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED SO FAR. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE I LOST POWER STEERING. AFTER LOSING CONTROL, AND REGAINED MY COMPOSURE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. READING THE MESSAGE BOARD THAT SAID POWER STEERING WAS GONE, I CONTINUED ON HOME. THE NEW PART WILL COST $352.OO PLUS LABOR TO FIX. THE STEERING CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF. *AK
