2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

POWER STEERING ISSUES AND IT STATES IT ON MY RADIO SCREEN THE MOMENT I PUT IT IN REVERSE. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, WHILE ON I HAVE ISSUES ROLLING UP/DOWN MY POWER WINDOWS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

MY STEERING SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE DRIVING AND NON-DRIVING IT STIFFENS UP WHERE I CAN'T TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN I START THE CAR IT STIFFENS AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC THEY SAY THAT ITS A RECALL ON IT. WHAT'S MY NEXT STEP BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAYS HE CAN'T FIX IT. I NEED AND WOULD LIKE FOR MY CAR TO BE FIX.

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER DRIVING THE CAR WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE OR IN A GARAGE. NO SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKS ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 65K MILES ON IT. THIS CAN POSE A DANGER SINCE MANY HOME HAVE THE HOT WATER HEATER IN THE GARAGE WITH A PILOT LIGHT. ALSO THIS FUEL ODOR IS AROUND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF THE CAR. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OR LOSES THEIR HOME BEFORE GM WITH TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING?

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND A BEEP TWICE INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING AND THE CAR NO LONGER MAINTAINS POWER STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE 14772 FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD COVER ALL MODELS AFFECTED IT'S DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING. I'VE ALREADY HAD MY CAR TOWED TWICE TO A DEALER THAT CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM AND I'VE SPENT OVER $200.00 TO HAVE MY BATTERY CABLES CLEANED WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND POWER STEERING SIGN FLASHED WITHOUT WARNING ON SCREEN AND THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED GOING 65 MPH. CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH AND NOW POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. NOW POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I'M SEEING IN 2014 THERE WERE MANY RECALLS ON THIS VECHICLE AND FOR SOME ODD REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. IVE CALLED GM AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME.

MY 07 G6 V6 SEEMS TO LOSE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.

MY CAR HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL ON TH BACK PASSENGER SIDE. IT'S HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I'M FINALLY ABLE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND HOPEFULLY FIXED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE SMELL OF GAS IS SO STRONG IT IS NAUSEATING AND CAN BE SMELLED SEVERAL FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR. I'M WORRIED THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK AND IT IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY THREE CHILDREN. I'VE NOTICED THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN PARKED BUT GAS CAN BE SMELT INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART, BUT THE FAILURE REMAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CALLED GM BECAUSE I SEEN WHERE THE NHTSA HAD A RECALL ON ALL 2007 PONTIAC G6 FOR STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM RECALL# 15V064000 WITH RECALL DATE: 2/4/2015 BUT WHEN I CALLED GM THEY SAID THEY DONT SEE A RECALL FOR MY CAR EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE NHTSA HAS RECALLED THIS PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES LIKE MINE. WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY GM TREATED ME ABOUT THIS MATTER. ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHY GM HAS SO MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE STEERING RECALL AND WHEN I CALL DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED THEY DONT SEE THE RECALL ON MY CAR
