2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WILL CUT OUT WHEN TURNING MAKING IT HARD THE STEER THE CAR AND WITH THIS HAPPENING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IN A MAIN ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

ON AUGUST 6, 2016 I WAS MERGING ONTO THE 33 EAST FROM THE CAYUGA ROAD ENTRANCE IN CHEEKTOWAGA, NY. AS I TRIED TO MERGE ONTO THE THRUWAY MY STEERING COMPLETELY WENT LOOSE AND LOST CONTROL. I COULDN'T GRAB HOLD OF THE WHEEL, AND MY CAR WENT COMPLETELY INSANE AND CROSSED THE 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC ON THE THRUWAY AND HIT THE GUARDRAIL, THEN BOUNCED OFF THE GUARDRAIL, CROSSING BACK THROUGH THOSE 3 LANES AND I ENDED UP IN A DITCH ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE GUARDRAIL.MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED, AND I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL ER BY MY MOTHER & MY CAR WAS TOWED BY CHEEKTOWAGA POLICE TO MILLERS TOWING ON GENESEE STREET. THE ONLY THING THE HOSPITAL DIAGNOSED ME WITH WAS WHIPLASH. I HAVE NO IDEA OR EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE CAR TO LOSE CONTROL LIKE THAT. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND FILED A CLAIM WITH THEM. GENERAL MOTORS SENT OUT AN INVESTIGATOR TO COME CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE INVESTIGATOR ONLY PLUGGED MY CAR INTO HIS COMPUTER, AFTER UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS NOT NECESSARY TO DO AT ALL). AFTER HE INVESTIGATED IT, GENERAL MOTORS CALLED ME AND SAID MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. I FEEL THAT MY CAR WAS IMPROPERLY INSPECTED, IT SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN PUT UP ON A LIFT TO HAVE THE STEERING RACK LOOKED AT, SEEING AS THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I HAVE 3 WITNESSES THAT STOPPED ALONGSIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ME AND SAID IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS "POSSESSED." THE CAR HAD A STEERING RECALL THAT I GOT FIXED AT A GENERAL MOTORS FACILITY IN NOVEMBER OF 2015, 4 MONTHS AFTER I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED BY GM FOR MY LOSSES. I DID NOTHING WRONG TO MAKE THE CAR ACT LIKE THAT OR LOOSE CONTROL, THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME AS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE THE CAR DO THAT.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE REPLACE THE LOW BEAM BULBS 3 TIMES AND IT ONLY LAST A FEW DAYS. I CAN BANG ON THE HEADLIGHT AND IT WILL COME BACK ON FOR A DAY OR SO BUT THEN TURNS OFF AGAIN. IT IS USUALLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. AFTER SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS I HAVE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS A SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THESE CARS THAT COULD CAUSE THEM TO GO UP IN FLAMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VEERED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THE CONTACT HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE IN EXCESS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

ON 95 HIGHWAY SOUTH NEAR CARSON VA A WHITE BIG BAG FELL OFF A TRACTOR TRAILER IN WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ROAD IT DAMAGE MY RADIATOR AND BACK END OF MY CAR. REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE TO MYBCAR

THE AIR BAG DOESN'T WORK AND THE LIGHT FLASHES "SERVICE AIRBAG," AND, WHILE PUMPING THE BRAKES TO STOP, YOU HAVE TO PUMPS TWICE BEFORE THE CAR REACTS TO THE COMMAND. I HAD THE PADS REPLACED BUT THE CAR OPERATES THE SAME AS BEFORE.

AT 60,000 MILES THE POWER STEERING ALERT CAME ON THE DIC AND THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I REPLACED THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION IN THIS CAR COSTING ME OVER $2500 DOLLARS. THE PAST MONTH THE WHEEL HAS BEEN SHAKING BADLY AND WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL PULL EACH WAY AND HAVE PLAY AND SOMETIMES BE STIFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I'VE ALMOST CAUSED MYSELF TO GET IN MANY ACCIDENTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY GM. I'VE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES AND MY CAR VIN ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. THE CAR NOW JUST ECLIPSED OVER 100,000 MILES AND NEED TO KEEP THIS CAR THROUGH THE WINTER BUT I'M AFRAID WITH THE WINTERS WE HAVE IN BUFFALO, I'M GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT. THE COST TO FIX THE JPOWER STEERING MOTOR IS OVER $1,000 AND I'M NOT PUTTING ANY MORE MONEY INTO THIS CAR. OVER THE YEARS I'VE HAD THE CAR, I'VE PUT WELL OVER $6,000 INTO IT. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE (AT GM) AND THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE VERY RUDE AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY STAY ON AND TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES AND RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD OR EVEN JUST SITTING STILL. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND EVERY TIME IT IS AN ISSUE WITH BCM. WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ON THAT ISSUE, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WHAT THEY DID DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT DID, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.
