2005 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 2005 MODEL AND THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT. IT RANDOMLY ALARMS THAT THERE IS POWER STEERING FAILURE, BINGS TWICE AND THEN LOCKS UP. LATE LAST NIGHT DURING A STORM I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD, WENT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING ALARM WENT OFF AND THE CAR TOTALLY LOCKED UP. TWO CARS NARROWLY AVOIDED HITTING ME, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY ACTUALLY DID. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND YET WHEN I TAKE IT INTO THE GM DEALER THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. YET FOLLOWING MY OWN RESEARCH LAST NIGHT THIS SEEMS TO BE A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

IN OCTOBER OF 2009 I BOUGHT A PONTIAC G6 2005 AFTER A MONTH OF A OWNING THE VEHICLE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TURNING ON AND ON THE DISPLAY AREA IT WOULD READ POWER STEERING THIS WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2009 SINCE THEN THE POWER STEERING HAD CONTINUED TO FAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS, IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM I WOULD PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN, THIS WOULD ALLOW ME TO REGAIN MY POWER STEERING. THIS PROBLEM WENT ON FOR MONTHS IT IS NOW AUG 2010 AND I HAVE GONE AND HAD MY POWER STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AT A GM DEALER NEAR ME ... WITHIN THE PAST 10 MONTHS THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS I HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES( 4 5 6 ) IN ONE TRIP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN TO REGAIN POWER STEERING, THE POWER STEERING WOULD GIVE OUT AT NOT ONLY UNDER SPEEDS OF 20 KM BUT AT SPEEDS OF 60 KM OR LOWER.... I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WHO DRIVES AROUND WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD CHILD EVERYDAY I DO FEEL THAT IS AN ISSUE IN MANY PONTIAC G6 MADE IN 2005 THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY SONS.. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHE ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING CHIME WAS SOUNDING AND THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WORKED FOR A SHORT TIME AND AFTER A SECOND ATTEMPT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WILL BE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 95,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 IS GOING OUT. ITS BEEN HAPPENING DAILY SINCE THE FIRST TIME AND UP TO MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. AND IM JUST CONCERN BECAUSE ITS HAPPEN WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. IT STARTED LIKE A WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING MY FATHER HOME FROM WORK I WAS GOING TO MAKE A TURN INTO MY COMPLEX WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEEL LOCKS UP AND ALMOST MADE ME HIT A PARKED CAR. AT FIRST IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WITHIN THE COMPLEX THEN 2 DAYS AGO IT STARTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ROUND 35 TO 45 MPH. WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE ARE CARS AROUND ME DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. I WENT TO GO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID BUT WHEN LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I REALIZED THERE WAS NO PUMP FOR IT. SO I STARTED DOING WEB SEARCHES FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY CAR. I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL WEBSITE TALKING ABOUT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CARE. THERE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME SITUATION AND HOW MUCH THEY HAD TO PAY. AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL FOR THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND EVEN MORE IF ITS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON IN MY 2005 G6 WITH 68,000. I HAVE LOST MY ABILITY TO STEER 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. SINCE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE G5 WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THE G6 WHICH HAS THE EXACT SAME POWER STEERING UNIT? WHILE I'M AT IT CAN GM PLEASE RECALL THE TUBING FOR THE SUN ROOF THAT PULLS APART AND THEN LEAKS IN THE CAR DURING EVERY RAIN? COME ON PEOPLE STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT OR STOP MAKING THEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC G6 THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN ME POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP AND THEY MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TWO OTHER TIMES AND THEY PERFORM DIAGNOSIS TEST AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND RECENTLY CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THE REP TOLD ME SHE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THIS STEERING PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL OR THE COMPANY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD FOR 2 YEARS THAT'S BEING PARKED BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR
