2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE HAD A HOLE MELTED INTO IT BY THE EXHAUST AND THE LINE BURST SPRAYING POWER STEERING FLUID ON THE EXHAUST AND ALMOST CATCHING THE CAR ON FIRE.

MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I MEAN EVERYTHING... MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND IT'S NOT FIXED YET... THE MECHANIC SAID THAT MY CAR JUST LOST IT'S MEMORY AND HE HAS TRIED TO RESET THE MEMORY BUT HE HAS NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH IT. I WISH I NEVER WOULD HAVE GOT THIS CAR BECAUSE WHEN I HAD THE FIRST RECALL FIXED... IT IS LIKE NOW ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER HAS GONE WRONG AND MORE RECALLS. I WAS VERY SCARED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH AND THE CAR JUST QUIT.... IT WAS LIKE THE CAR JUST FROZE AND THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD JUST KEPT ON COMING I WAS VERY LUCKY AND BLESSED THAT NO ONE HIT ME.... I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WHEN I BUY A CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER..... IT WILL NOT BE A G6 !!!!!

DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE POWERSTEERING ON THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN TO BRING IT TO A SAFE PARK ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. INSTEAD I HIT AN EMBANKMENT. THE WITNESS AND POLICE WERE NOT SURE WHY MY CAR DID NOT FLIP OVER IN OTHER WORDS I LOST STEERING AND BRAKE POWER AND THE CAR WAS DEEMED AS TOTALED.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING, BUT A DANGEROUS HEADACHE. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE FELL OFF.. GLAD NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING. COULD NOT STOP.. THE A WEEK LATER I AM DRIVING AND THE TIRE BLEW. LAST WEEKEND DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER. NOT ONLY DID WE GET LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS SHRIVELED IN PIECES. IT WAS HORRIBLE. TELL THE DEALER CAUSE I'M MAKING PAYMENTS AND THEY ACT AS IF THE COULD CARELESS.. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INSPECTED. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THE BACK ACCEL IS GOING TO CRASH IN AND THE ELECTRICAL IS BAD IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. SCARE TO DRIVE IT.

THE IS A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SMELL THAT IS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL OF FUEL IS ALSO VERY PROMINENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AS THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NEWER PONTIAC G6 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. THE 2006 SHOULD BE REPAIRED THROUGH A RECALL. IT IS OBVIOUS THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANKS.

POWER STEERING IN MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE IS DESCRIBED IN TSB 10183A, WHICH STATES THAT THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE UNDER A 10YEAR/150,000 MILE WARRANTY. WHILE I HAVE THE ISSUE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING DESCRIBED IN THE TSB, GM WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY FOR MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 9.5 YEARS OLD AND 140,000 MILES. THERE APPEARS TO BE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING IN SOME 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES THAT GM DOES COVER THE REPAIRS FOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 06 G6 2.4L 4CYL AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN GIVING OFF A STRONG FUEL SMELL. I SMELL IT WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDER THE HOOD AND CAR AND CANNOT FIND ANY. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO CRANK THE CAR IT DOESN'T START UNTIL MY SECOND ATTEMPT. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY CAR AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE WORRIED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND HIS CAR SEAT IS LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER REAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY MY CAR MAY BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT A RED LIGHT, AT THE MALL, ETC. PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK, BUT ALSO THE LIVES OF OTHERS NEARBY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR SCANNER FOR FREE. THEY GAVE ME THIS CODE - P0454 FUEL TANK PRESSURE (FTP) SENSOR INTERMITTENT.
