2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TODAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSAGER LIGHT CAME, SO I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO STORE TO GET IT TESTED , THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CODE CAME UP SAYING THAT A SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED . SO I CALLED A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL OR ANYTHING ELSE. IS WORK COST 1,100. SO NOW I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT.

I ARRIVED HOME, THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING FINE, I GOT OUT, WENT INSIDE MY HOME FOR APPROX. 15 MIN, GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND IT WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK, THE SHIFTER IS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND JUST SLIDES FROM PARK TO LOW, I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ABOUT THE CABLE BEING BROKE AND IT POSSIBLY BEING STUCK IN ANOTHER GEAR AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS FELL INTO THAT CATEGORY BEFORE I SPENT MONEY ON A MECHANIC, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT THE CABLE, THE ONLY RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS ABOUT THE BRAKE LAMP. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. THANK YOU *TR

MY BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEY GO OFF WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS. THEY WILL COME BACK ON ONCE MY FOOT IS ON THE PEDDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 11 THAT RIDE WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS FIXED TOMORROW BUT WANTED TO COVER EVERYTHING BEFORE HAND, JUST IN CASE.

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATED WITH OUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED, WHEN BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL CRUISE WOULD WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE BRAKE LIGHTS RE ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED.

MY STEERING WHEEL KEEPS LOCKING UP ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING IT ALSO JERKS BACK THE OTHER WAY WHEN I ATTEMPT TO MAKE A TURN WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAUSES ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE HAS THREE OPEN RECALLS ON IT.I TOOK MY VEHICLE UP TO GREGG YOUNG CHEVROLET THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE RECALLS NO COST AT ALL. BUT I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP AS I'M DRIVING. IT LOCKS UP ON EVERY TIME IM DRIVING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHAT SO EVERY DRIVING MY VECHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPON RECEIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MISALIGNED. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE PULLED TOWARDS THE DRIVER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ADJUSTED AND TIGHTENED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,500.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS AND WHEN CHECKED THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR IS MELTED SO NOW I AM UNABLE TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT ALL AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS. HIGH BEAMS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT AFFECTED. I THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER GM CARS BUT FOR SOME REASON MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AND NOT SURE WHY IT ISN'T.

WELL I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK GO UP A HILL AND THE CAR STARTED LOSING SPEED GOING UP THE HILL I GIVE IT MORE GAS AND THE MOTOR STARTED KNOCKING I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND JUST WANT UP THE HILL REAL SLOW CARS WAS BLOWING THERE HORN AT ME I WAS FILL UPSET ABOUT THIS AND COME TO FINE OUT THAT PART IS ON RECALL..

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. SINCE THE ACCIDENT, WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, THERE IS A SCREECHING OR SQUEALING SOUND. THE SOUND IS PRESENT WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT BUT NO WHERE NEAR AS BAD. I TOLD THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER WHEN HE CAME OUT AND HE TOLD ME TO TELL MY MECHANIC. DURING THE FIRST ROUND OF MY CAR GOING TO THE SHOP, MY MECHANIC COULDN'T RECREATE THE SOUND AND SENT THE CAR BACK. A COUPLE WEEKS GO BY AND THE SOUND CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HAD HIM LISTEN TO THE SOUND. PRIOR TO DROPPING OFF MY CAR BACK TO THE MECHANIC, THE CAR STARTED GETTING HARDER TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. MY MECHANIC AND ANOTHER INSURANCE ADJUSTER COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE SOUND BUT MY MECHANIC TOLD THE ADJUSTER HAT HE HAD HEARD THE SOUND. THE ADJUSTER TOLD MY MECHANIC ABOUT THE RECALL AND ADVISED THAT I SHOULD MAKE A COMPLAINT.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. REPLACED IT, WENT BACK OUT WITHIN A WEEK. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON WEBSITES, AND IT SEEMS THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT NO RECALL. WHY? REPLACING BULBS IS COSTLY, AND NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS WHEN YOU THINKS YOU HAVE HEADLIGHTS AND DON'T. ALSO CAUSE FOR POLICE TO PULL U OVER. WHY HAS GM DONE NOTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS?
