2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR AT ALL TIMES. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAME EXACT CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE IT'S A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK OR HOSE. I'VE NOTICED SINCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION AND AT HIGH SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING IN THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO FAIL AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ON THE DASH BEGINS TO FLASH AND BLINK IN A SHORTAGE TYPE OF WAY. THE VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TURN IT LEFT TO RIGHT. IF YOUR GOING AROUND A CORNER AND HIT THE GAS OR USE HARD ACCELERATION YOU LOOSE STEERING CONTROL.

.SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING , OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE IM DRIVING ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. THEN SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING CAR ON THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON I'LL TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON A FEW TIMES AND IT WILL GO AWAY. STEERING WILL ALSO JERKS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING I HAVE GOTTEN INNER AND OUTER TIRE RODS DONE NEW TIRES AND A NEW BATTERY STILL HAVING AN ISSUE SUSPENSIONS ARE FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO MOVE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET THE STEERING JUST LOCKED UP ON ME. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL. STOPPED THE VEHICLE PARKED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE STEERING TO WORK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT ON GM WEBSITE AND ENTER MY VIN# IT SHOWS NO RECALLS; SAME ON YOUR SITE. I WANT TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PROCESSING OF TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS FATAL ACCIDENT!

WHILE DRIVING , BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON ,STAY ON GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO ON OFF CRUISE CONTROL , CAR STUCK IN PARK , WON'T RELEASE .

POWER STEERING LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON, BUT THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THEN IT WILL START AGAIN. THERE IS USUALLY NO LIGHT OR WARNING BEFORE IT GOES TEMPORARILY GOES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING, MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS.

AUTO TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT: IT IS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL AND NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR INCLUDING PARK.

TURNING THE WHEEL IS VERY HARD AT DEAD STOP TO A SLOW SPEED. EX: RED TO GREEN LIGHT TURNING BAY. AS IT SHOULD TURN FAIRLY EASILY IT IS A STRUGGLE AND A HALF TO TURN CAUSING A WIDE TURN. ON THE HIGHWAY YOU BASICALLY HAVE TO JERK IT TO GET OVER IN TIME. NOT TO MENTION IT ALREADY HAS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AS WELL WHEN I WAS LEASED THE CAR.

MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED TWICE DUE TO ELECTRIC STEERING. THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY KEEPS GOING OUT WELL DRIVING AND OR JUST STARTING THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ONLY GUARANTEE THE PARTS REPLACED FOR 90 DAYS. SO THEY AREN'T BACKING THE PARTS PUT ON TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFER. THE CAR ALSO HAS SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT HAS LOCKED ME IN THE CAR AND HAS SERVICE AIR BAG NOTICES. THE GAUGES GO OUT WELL DRIVING.
