2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAD A RECALL DONE FOR THE STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED BY THE PART REPLACEMENT. IN FACT, I CONTINUE TO LOSE STEERING AT LOW SPEED AND DURING PARK. THE RECALL WAS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM REPLACED A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE NOW. WHEN IS GM GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY NOT TO MENTION TO THE PUBLIC. GM ARE YOU FOR REAL? PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

I WAS DRIVING MAKING A TURN AND I HARD A NOISE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I FELT MY STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN UP.

I WAS GOING THROUGH AN S CURVE ON A LOCAL ROAD DOWN THE STREET AND WHEN I WAS COMING OUT OF THE CURVE THE WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT I HEARD THE CAR CHIME AND I LOST THE STEERING. WAS UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD FAST ENOUGH AND AT THE END OF THE CURVE WAS A PARK PARKING LOT. LUCKILY THE SIDE I HAD TO SWERVE INTO WAS EMPTY AND NO KIDS WERE IN THE AREA ON THE BIKE PATH BECAUSE I ENDED UP GOING INTO THE GRASS. AFTER I GOT THE CAR STOPPED I SHUT IT OFF,TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TURN LEFT TO HEAD BACK HOME BOOM CAR CHIMED AND LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN. LUCKILY THIS TIME I WAS EXPECTING IT AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AS I WAS TURNING AROUND TO HEAD BACK HOME. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE THE CAR BACK THE SHORT MILE BACK TO THE HOUSE THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY STATING THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE RECALLS ON IT BUT ALSO SAID THAT THE REASON IT WENT OUT ( SHORT IN THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE) WAS A RECALL ITEM BUT NOT ON MY YEAR G6. I TOLD THEM THAT WHEN I PULLED THE YEAR ON MY CAR , IT SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AND THEY SAID MINE WAS MADE TOO EARLY IN THE YEAR OR SOMETHING AND HE ALSO SAID ITS A VERY VERY COMMON PART FAILURE. I ASKED WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS BETWEEN MY STEERING MODULE AND THE ONES ON RECALL WERE, AND HE STATED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE PART NUMBER AND IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART. SO FOR $900.00 TO FIX IT I TOLD THEM TO TOW IT BACK TO MY HOUSE UNFIXED AND NOW THE CAR SITS UNUSED BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT IS KNOWINGLY UNSAFE AND FAULTY BY THE MANUFACTURER . THE OUTCOME OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE HAD I BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD. DID I MENTION MY SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AS WELL? I HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE DEALER BUT DONT HAVE A SCANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND STAY ON. THEN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER BEING TOLD THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. I THEN RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS BRAKE ISSUE AND HAD THE BCM AND BPPS AND HARNESS REPLACED (RECALL 13036) AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE (RECALL 14152). IT HAS NOW BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE BPPS AGAIN AND IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST. I FEEL SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OR NOT EVEN AFTER I'M TOLD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM BULB SOCKET MELTED AT OUT GOING WIRE. CASUES HEADBLIGHT TO GO OUT.

THURSDAY , OCTOBER 8, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED. I ALMOST HIT 2 CARS .ON THE CAR BOARD APPEAR "POWER STEERING ". AT GENERAL MOTORS ' S DEALER SERVICE THEY PUT ME TO PAY 860$ FOR FIXING THE POWER STEERING ISSUE .

MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. THIS SMELL IS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING AND LONG AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN POWERED OFF. A VISUAL INSPECTION BY A FRIEND WHO IS A 'SHADE-TREE' MECHANIC SHOW NO OBVIOUS LEAKS NOR DO I NOTICE ANYTHING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE WINDOWS CRACKED. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING OTHER OWNERS HAVE SEEN AND IF POSSIBLY THERE IS OR WILL BE A RECALL? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING (AND GETTING WORSE) FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
