2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON ONCE I CRANK THE CAR AND WILL NOT GO OFF ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT WILL WORK SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT ONCE THE CAR IS RUNNING. HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING YEARLY INSPECTION STICKER. I NOTICE THERE IS A RECALL ON 2006 PONTIAC G6 AIR BAGS FRONTAL. CONTACTED PONTIAC MAIN BRANCH AND STATED MY CAR WASN'T ON THE LIST OF THE RECALLS. RECALL ANNOUNCED: OCTOBER 31, 2006 NHTSA REFERENCE: #06V417000

POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO. DIFFICULT TO STEER. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING OF THE G6'S SO I TOOK IT TO A BUICK DEALER TO LOOK AT. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER DATE OF THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000). I HAD THE 23232310 SENSOR KIT AND 22837369 MODULE REPLACED. $1303.34. WHY IS MY CAR NOT COVERED WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS THOSE IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID MINE WAS MADE LATER WITH NEWER PARTS. BUT, IT STILL APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED THE SAME WAY. ARE THERE OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE? SHOULD MINE BE IN THE RECALL?

DUE TO A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR MY PONTIAC G6 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CORRECTIONS MADE. WHEN I SEARCH BY MY VIN NUMBER THERE ARE NO OPEN OR NEW RECALLS PRESENT. YET OVER THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY INFORMATION DISPLAY ON THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL CHIME AND DISPLAY "POWER STEERING". I DO NOT NOTICE ANY CHANGES WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CAR WHEN THE DISPLAY APPEARS. I HAVE PRESSED THE INFO BUTTON ONCE IT APPEARS AND IT THEN GOES AWAY FROM THE DISPLAY AND NO OTHER FUNCTIONING APPEARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY ON A RECALL IS MALFUNCTIONING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALLED PART (BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION) AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL LOCKING UP. AFTER FIXING THE RECALLED PART I HAVE PURCHASED A BATTERY, A CALIBER, STARTER, AND TWO HUBS. MY CAR IS STILL NOT WORKING IT WILL FUNCTION FOR A COUPLE OF MILES PERFECTLY, AND THEN IT RETURNS TO THE SAME PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WILL NOT GEAR UP THE CAR WILL BE ON DRIVE AND IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO CATCH, THEN THE CAR WILL LOCK UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE. SO I WILL HAVE TO GET A TOW SERVICE BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL LOCK THE CAR AND I CANNOT PUSH IT TO A SAFE AREA.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING IN NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN STARTING AND WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN, DOES THIS ON AND OFF.

POWER STEERING FAILS AND CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP RESPONDED TO WARRANTY UPGRADE AND HAD ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE CAR , BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH IN A CURVE.
