2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

DRIVING INTO WORK THE WARNING BELLS SOUNDED ON THE CAR. THE POWER STEERING WAS ILLUMINATED AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE ESC OFF AND ESC WARNING ALSO CAME IN. *TR

I LOSE POWER STEERING FROM TIME TO TIME. I MAY HAVE IT WHEN I START THE CAR AND THEN LOSE IT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I MAY NOT HAVE IT WHEN I START THE CAR AND THEN IT COMES BACK. *TR

I NOTICED I HAD A LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT OUT AROUND CHRISTMAS BUT DIDN'T GET AROUND TO REPLACING IT UNTIL 1/19/15. ONCE IT WAS REPLACED, IT WAS AGAIN NOT WORKING WITHIN LESS THAN 24 HRS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. I RETURNED IT TO THE SHOP, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE HEADLIGHT HARNESS AROUND THE NEW BULB HAD MELTED. I AM NOW AWAITING PARTS TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH GM CARS OF THAT YEAR, AND THAT THEY TEND TO KEEP BLOWING BULBS AND NEEDING HARNESS REPLACEMENTS. *TR

MY CARS POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AND I'VE NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 09S AND EARLIER BUT NOT ON A 2010. I HAVE HAD ISSUES DRIVING WITH IT LIKE THAT. I LIVE IN NORTHERN IDAHO WHERE THE ROADS ARE ICY, SLUSHY AND SLIPPERY AND IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. WITH THE POWER STEERING OUT IT IS HARD TO CORRECT MY SLIDES AND ALMOST MAKES IT WORSE AND REALLY HARD TO CONTROL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE RECALL ISN'T ON THE 2010S YET. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES MY CAR PULLS WHEN I AM AT REST AND DRIVING. TODAY, I SAT IN MY CAR TO GET SOME HEAT ON MY LUNCH BREAK. MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND MESSAGES AND LIGHTS POPPED UP. THE ENGINE, TCS AND ESC LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND CRANK IT AGAIN AND I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE RATTLING. THAT HAPPENED AROUND 1 PM. I GOT OFF AROUND 730 PM TONIGHT AND AS I DROVE THE CAR RODE GOOD FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AND THEN IT BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND ALL OF THESE WARNINGS POPPED UP REGARDING TRACTION AND POWERING DOWN. I PULLED OVER SAT AND CRANK MY CAR AND THE ENGINE RATTLED HORRIBLY. I TURNED IT OFF AND CRANK IT AGAIN. THE RIDE WAS NOT SMOOTH AND IT WAS JERKING. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THIS YEAR. I RECEIVED ONE I BELIEVE LAST YEAR AND TOOK CARE OF IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AS THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO FUNCTION AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR WENT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, SHORTY FOLLOWED BY THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR. I PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE MORE ON MY 35 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK. ON THE WAY HOME, HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING WOULD ONLY WORK FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS EACH TIME I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. NOW BOTH THE POWER STEERING AND ESC DONT WORK AT ALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER WHERE I LIVE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR WAS DISPLAYING ERROR CODE C0545, INDICATING THAT THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR, THE TORQUE POSITION SENSOR IN THE STEERING, NEEDS REPLACEMENT, AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON OTHER YEARS OF PONTIAC G6'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT 2010 WAS LEFT OFF THE RECALL. NO WORD YET ON WHETHER GM IS GOING TO OWN UP TO THEIR PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT GM CAN MANUFACTURE AND SELL VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. IT'S A WONDER THAT THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *JS
