2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT WENT OUT AND MY STEERING IS IN MANUAL MODE ALL THE TIME

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN, ON THE DASH IT SAID POWER STEERING CHECK EVC. I COULD MOVE THE WHEEL AT ALL, AND ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR.

REPEATED LOSS OF POWER STEERING, DISPLAYING "SERVICE ESC" MESSAGE ON DASH WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ONCE ON A HIGH SPEED ROAD. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO HELP AT GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

MIDWAY INTO A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED RESULTING IN VEHICLE DRIFTING INTO ADJACENT LANE UNTIL DRIVER REGAINED CONTROL. THIS WAS A LOW-SPEED EVENT WITH NO COLLISION INVOLVED AS TRAFFIC IN ON-COMING LANE WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE TIME. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED. PRESUMABLY THIS EVENT IS LIKELY TO RE-OCCUR UNTIL DEFECTIVE PARTS ARE REPLACED.

CAR TURNS OFF WHEN IDLING AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DON'T WORK WHEN IDLES. *TR

THE POWER STEERING JUST FAILED ON ME WITH NO WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. THE DASH SAYS SERVICE ESC. *TR

MY VEHICLES POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL STRUTS OFF AT RANDOM EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE POWER STEERING UNIT THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A WHILE AND I CANT SEEM TO GET IT FIXED. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHILE IN IDLE OR FIRST OR SECOND GEAR AND REQUIRES ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. ITS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM LOCATING A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER G6 OWNERS AND A RECALL BACK IN 2014 BUT I NEVER DECIDED A LETTER AND I GOT MY CAR IN 2013. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WARNING AND SERVICE ESC LIGHTS COME ON AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, IT IS A VERY CONCERNING ISSUE. IT STARTED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST LOCKED, ESP WHEN USING THE AUTOSTART. WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN USE THE KEY TO TURN BACK ON. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO DRIVE IT FOR A SHORT TIME, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD STAY LOCKED. THE MOST SCARY PART IS IT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. MY 18 YEAR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY.

THE TRACTION LIGHT IS COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND REVERTED TO MANUAL STEERING. SENSOR CODES ARE INTERMITTENTLY COMING UP WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS LIT. PROBLEM WITH THE EVAC SYSTEM. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER ENGAGING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVES MORE THAN IT SHOULD. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO STATIONARY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MY TEENAGE SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHICH WAS DANGEROUS.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR , THE ESC LIGHTS THE POWER STEERING AND THE GAUGES STOP WORKING INCLUDING THE GAS GAUGE AND ODOMETER. THE CAR BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT HAPPENS WHEN SITTING, DRIVING. ON THE HIGHWAY. ON ANY RANDOM TIME IT DECIDES
