2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BROKE 3 TIMES NOW IN A YEAR. MY TRANCTION CONTROL AND ELECTRIC SYSTEMS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09E005000 (STEERING), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,000.

MY HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. I REPLACED IT AND IT LASTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND THEN BURNED OUT AGAIN. FOUND THE SOCKET MELTED AND BURNED UP REAL BAD. I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET ASSEMBLY AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN WOULD COME ON ONLY WHEN I SLAMMED THE HOOD (SOMETIMES.) AND THEN STOPPED WORKING FOR GOOD. THE BRIGHT LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR WORKED FINE UP UNTIL THEN, BUT SOON AFTER WENT OUT SO I REPLACED THAT BULB AND SOCKET ASSEMBLY WITH NO RESULT. NEITHER BRIGHT NOR DIM LIGHT WORKS ON DRIVER'S SIDE. I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY IT'S DOING IT, AND NONE OF THE MECHANICS I'VE BEEN TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THE HEADLIGHTS AREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY (AT ALL.) IT'S FRUSTRATING. IT'S DANGEROUS. AND IT HAS COST ME MORE MONEY THAN LIGHTS SHOULD EVER COST A PERSON. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN MONTHS BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF GETTING PULLED OVER. IT SUCKS AND I STILL AM PAYING ON THIS CAR AND CAN'T EVEN USE IT. I HATE PONTIAC. GM NEEDS TO SHUTDOWN. NEVER BEEN SATISFIED WITH A GM VEHICLE.

THE STEERING HOSE IT TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST.....IT BUST MY STEERING HOSE 2 TIMES WHICH CAUSE MY CAR TO SMOKE AND CATCH FIRE DUE TO THE FLUID LEAKING ON EXHAUST....I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT AND REPLACE THE HOSE AGAIN AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,400.

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES IN THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. NOT NOTIFYING THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME THAT I AM STOPPING. WHEN BRAKES IS RELEASED THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WOULD THEN COME ON.

STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE PLASTIC ELBOW GM USED IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2007 G5 MODELS AND OTHER GM VEHICLES AND HAVE ACTIVE RECALLS IN PLACE. THERE ARE SEVERAL NHTSA COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SAME MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE AS MINE. CONTACTED GM AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ACTION AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER COST TO REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS APPROXIMATELY $800.00. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS ISSUE AND IS REFUSING TO TAKE ACTION. IS THIS GOING TO REMAIN OPEN UNTIL THERE IS A FATALITY CAUSED BY THIS KNOWN ISSUE?

I'VE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS (4) TO WHERE MY POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL PROPERLY. I'VE HAD TO GET THIS FIX MULTIPLE OF TIMES AND DECIDED TO CHECK AND SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR IT. I DON'T SEE IT SO I DECIDED TO RIGHT A REVIEW ABOUT IT. I HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE ELSE NOT JUST ME THAT FEARS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO THEM. ALSO, THE DRIVER (FRONT) AND BRAKE/REVERSE LIGHTS HAS WENT OUT. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO FIX MY BRAKE/REVERSE LIGHTS. I'VE GOT MY DRIVER SIDE FIXED SEVERAL TIME AS WELL AND IT STILL TENDS TO GO OUT ON ME.

THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE DYSFUNCTION OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I GOT IT FIXED, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. ALL SEEMED WELL, BUT I AM NOW ABOUT A YEAR (LONGER?) AFTER THE RECALL AND IT SEEMS TO NOT HAVE WORKED. I KNOW, VERY WELL, OF SOMEONE WHO OWNS A YEAR LATER OF THE SAME CAR, HAD THE SAME RECALL, AND IT ALSO ENDED UP GOING BACK TO THE MALFUNCTIONING. I KNOW TOO WELL, A SERVICE ISN'T GUARANTEED AFTER A YEAR. WHERE DOES A RECALL, THAT DIDN'T GET FIXED PROPERLY, HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON GETTING FIXED!

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. IT IS A PONTIAC G 6 GT CONVERTIBLE WITH AN OPTIONAL GTP HIGH OUTPUT ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN. THIS IS A TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE WITH ALL OPTIONS. SINCE NEW, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STEER WELL. IT LURCHES UNEXPECTEDLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS OR JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD. IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT AS OF TODAY. IT IS STILL IN THE 36,000 MILE GM WARRANTY PERIOD. THERE HAS BEEN A SNAPPING/POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN SINCE NEW WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE, SITTING STILL OR DRIVING. THE STEERING FEELS VERY UNSTABLE. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STARTED CONSTANTLY PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IF I LET OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL DRIVE OFF THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH AND THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND BUMPY. THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE WHEELS. THIS STEERING IS ELECTRIC. THE PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE RACK AND PINION IS ALSO MAKING NOISE AND BUMPY, NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE WHEELS APPEAR OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THE TIRES APPEAR TO BE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. THIS IS BASICALLY A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE IN FLORIDA. NO RUST. LOOKS AND DRIVES NEW. EXCEPT FOR THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. INTERNET SEARCH AND DEALER PHONE CALL CONFIRMED THAT. GM HAS SEVERAL RECALLS AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS, BUT MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE STEERING SYSTEM IS MAINTENANCE FREE. THERE IS NOTHING THE CUSTOMER CAN DO. THE STEERING COLUMN SENSOR RING IS DEFECTIVE ALSO. THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALSO. THIS COULD COST WELL OVER A $1500 JUST FOR PARTS. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT STEERS IT SELF. THE TRACTION CONTROL SEEMS DEFECTIVE AND UNRELIABLE ALSO.
