2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 8/19/14*CN

I WAS GETTING READY TO DRIVE ONE MORNING. I STARTED UP MY CAR AND PUT IT ON DRIVE SO AS I STARTED DRIVING OUT THE PARKING LOT MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND ON THE DASH BOARD IT SAID "POWER STEERING UNSERVICEABLE". IT WAS HARD TO STEER SO I PUT IT ON PARK, POPPED THE HOOD OPEN AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THEN I REMEMBERED I HAVE A ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND ON AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THEN I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT RESET ITSELF AND THERE'S NOTHING TO DIAGNOSE. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS RECALLS FOR OTHER MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS BROWSING THE WEB, LOOKING AT ARTICLES AND WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR SAME YEAR WITH ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE AND NOT SAFE TO SELL IF EVER THE PROBLEM COMES BACK. *TR

THERE WERE MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE WE WERE LOCKED INSIDE OUR VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO GET OUT DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR HANDLE/ LOCK. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WE WOULD HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE WINDOW OR THROUGH TO THE BACK SEAT. WE ENDED UP FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH A LOCAL CAR DEALER, HOWEVER COULD NEVER GET THE COMPANY TO ADMIT ANY FAULT FOR THE PROBLEM. WE KNOW OF OTHER G6 OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR

SOMETIMES AROUND 40 TO 55 MPH THE CAR BEGINS TO JERK, AND THAN WHEN I GIVE IT GAS THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS SOMETIME AT LOW SPEED TOO. I TOOK THE CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS. ONE GM COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION. BUT I COULDN'T GET IT FIX THERE BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER A PONTIAC/GM DEALER. TO GET IT FIX UNDER 100000 MILES POWER TRAIN WARRANTY I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER. SO I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER JUST DOWN THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY FELT SOMETHING GOING ON, BUT COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. NO CHECK LIGHT, SO THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A LIGHT COMES ON. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH RECENT RECALLS ON G6, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER'S DRIVES THIS CAR TO SCHOOL AN HOUR AWAY THREE TIMES A WEEK. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINS LIKE THIS? THANK YOU *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN EXCEPT FAULTY AIRBAGS. *TR

MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB WILL NOT WORK,CHANGED THE BULB AND IT BLEW WITHIN 3 DAYS REPLACED IT AND NOW IT WONT WORK, CHANGED THE FUSE AND IT STILL DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM. *JS

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE INDICATORS SUDDENLY ALERTED ME TO ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, ESC SYSTEM, AIRBAGS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE GAUGES ALL MAXED OUT AND THEN FAILED ENTIRELY. THIS WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THERE WERE NO CODES THAT REGISTERED DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME MY SPEEDOMETER AND ALL DASH FUNCTIONS CEASED TO WORK, THE SAME ALERTS CAME ON AND THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH INTO GEAR AND SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. WHILE I AM STILL ABLE TO DRIVE IT, I AM NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING NOR DO I FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED THE RECALL LISTS AND IT APPEARS THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 IS NOT AMONGST THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED. THIS IS ABSURD AND A DANGER TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE ROAD WHILE THESE CARS ARE BEING DRIVEN. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO IT'S MISTAKES AND CORRECT THEM IN ORDER TO RETAIN CUSTOMERS AND SAVE LIVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OR PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN CAUSING ME TO CLIMB OVER CONSOLE TO GET OUT ON DRIVER SIDE. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE THE TIME IT TOOK TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT 3 DAYS LATER THAT THEY COULDN'T GET IT OPEN EITHER FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY A BROKEN DOOR LATCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REASON ENOUGH FOR A MANUFACTURERS RECALL. THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO HAVE REPAIRED FOR A COST OF $463.31 ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! *TR
