I PURCHASED A PONTIAC G6 IN SEPTEMBER 2014. SINCE OCTOBER 2014, THE CAR HAS BEEN PULLING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT, AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTING ITSELF TO THE NORMAL POSTION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO OTHER MULTIPLE PLACES AND THEY HAVE NOT CAME TO A CONCLUSION. I GOT AN ALIGNMENT DONE AND THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE. WHEN I AM GOING AROUND A RIGHT TURN THE CAR CATCHES AND I MANUALLY NEED TO TURN THE WHEEL. GOING AROUND A LEFT TURN IT DOES THE SAME THING. THERE IS NO CODE FOR THE POWER STEERING. *TR

LIGHTS ON THE CAR STARTING COMING ON THE AIR BAG LIGHTS STAY ON NOW AND WILL NOT GO OFF .THE HEATER IN THE SEATS ALSO STOPPED WORKING .AND NOW WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEELS THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND .I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CV AXLES REPLACED ,AND IT DID NO GOOD .IT CONTINUES TO MAKE THE GRINDING SOUNDS WHEN I TURN ,AND ITS HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT TIMES IT LOCKS UP .THE ELECTRIC SYSTEMS SEEMS TO ACT STRANGE WITH LIGHTS BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD SOMETIMES .MANY TIMES I HAVE TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR AND HAVE HAD THE STARTER CHECKED OUT AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM ,WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL THE LIGHTS START FLASHING .ONCE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS AT A SPEED AROUND 45 MILES AN HOUR AND MY CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS. *TR

ON 4/7/15, WHILE DRIVING HEARD CHIMES. ALL ICONS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED ON. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE MOVED TO EMPTY. THE LOW FUEL GAUGE TURNED ON. ALL THIS INDICATING MALFUNCTION. THE ODOMETER TURNED OFF AND THE CODE ERROR CAME ON AND TURNED OFF; THEN THE ODOMETER CAME BACK ON. ALL THE ICONS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR THE SECURITY LIGHT ICON WHICH STAYED ON. IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE WAS ATTEMPTING TO DISABLE MY VEHICLE. LATER THAT DAY TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL, LIKE IT RESET ITSELF. ON 4/8/15, AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SECURITY LIGHT ICON TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS INCONCLUSIVE, THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SO NOT ONLY WAS I PUT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, THIS END UP COSTING ME $140.00 JUST TO TELL ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING - NOT ONLY AM I IN THE HOLE FOR $140 BUT I AM BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I FEEL GM SHOULD FOOT THIS BILL AS A CUSTOMER COURTESY DUE TO THE PREDICAMENT THIS VEHICLE PUT ME IN. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE THAT IS 6 YEARS OLD AND 80,000 MILES. *TR
