2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

STARTED MY CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. I CANNOT TURN. I HAVE TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE OPERATED AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TORQUE SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,800.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY CAR RADIOS SCREEN DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING". BEFORE THE STEERING WENT OUT, THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE I WAS PARKED. I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN ONLY TO TURN OFF, ONCE AGAIN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

THERE IS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK, AND WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUEL TANK TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE THE FUEL IS LEAKING FROM. THIS CONDITION EXISTS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, PARKED OR DRIVING

THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING ENGINE OIL AND GAS FROM THE BEGINNING AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE, FEEDBACK. ALL I HAVE BEEN GIVEN WAS A CONSTANT REPAIR LIST MOST OF WICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME FROM THE BEGINNING THAT MY ENGINE IS LEAKING POSSIBLE GASKETS AND LEAK SOMEWHERE IN FUEL PUMP. RHODES AUTO SALES AS WELL AS GM HAS GIVEN ME A RUN FOR MY LIFE. UNTIL RECENTLY HAVE A FRIEND GAVE ME A CARFAX ON THIS CAR THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD AND BEING TOLD HOW DANGEROUS IT'S BEEN FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT PURCHASE DATE BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY, ROTORS, AND BRAKE SHOES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES; HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON 2/18/16 WHEN MY STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GAIN SOME TYPE OF CONTROL SO I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT. ON WHICTIA IN FORT WORTH,TEXAS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH GM SINCE MY CAR STEERING, SHIFTING CABLES AND OTHER RECALLS OCCURED SINCE 2014. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. ON 3/3/16 I CONTACTED THEM IN REGARDS TO THE MANNER, TELLING THEM ABOUT THE INCIDENTS ALONG WITH THE CASE NUMBER

ISSUE. FUEL FOUND TO BE LEAKING AT TOP OF GAS TANK FROM FUEL PUMP FUEL OUTLET ELBOW FITTING ON FUEL PUMP. LEAK WAS SUCH THAT A STRONG GAS ODOR COULD BE SENSED AFTER CAR WAS DRIVEN AND SITTING OUTSIDE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT GAS WAS SITTING ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THIS AREA IS NEAR THE REAR EXHAUST PIPES. ID OF FUEL PUMP: INFO FOUND ON FUEL PUMP: UPC 15839061 AFCO

I HAD NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHILE IN A STOPPED POSITION AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND THEN THERE WAS A CHIME WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND I NOTICED THE RADIO READOUT INDICATED AN ALARM OF POWER STEERING. IT WOULD RESET IF I TURNED KEY OFF AND ON AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AT ALL. I CALLED A TOLL FREE NUMBER THAT I HAD FOUND ONLINE FOR PONTIAC RECALLS AND SPOKE TO AN OPERATOR. HE TOOK THE LAST EIGHT DIGITS OF MY VIN AND RETURNED A SHORT TIME LATER AND SAID THAT THERE WERE NO EXISTING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALMOST 194,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE NOW AND PURCHASED IT WHEN IT HAD ABOUT 163,000 MILES ON IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD RESPONDED TO ALL RECALL NOTICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR, BUT HE COULDN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS EVER FOR POWER STEERING. IF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, IT DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR ALL OF THE G6 YEARS EXCEPT FOR THE 2007, BUT I ALSO SAW A YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM 2015 THAT SAID THAT GM HAD RECALLED THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU AND PONTIAC G6 SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS ACCURATE.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR THE HEADLIGHTS NEVER STAY ON. IT'S EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER, NO MATTER HOW OFTEN I REPLACE THEM, ONE GOES OUT. IT'S DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. I'VE HAD IT "FIXED" SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN THE WIRING. DESPITE MY ATTEMPTS, I STILL ALWAYS ONLY HAVE ONE HEADLIGHT.
