2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT DURING THE INCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT'S FACE STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING SERIOUS FACIAL INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

THE GAS TANK ON THIS 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT IS LEAKING FUEL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT IS LEAKING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION USING NON GM AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT ONLY ON THE G6 BUT MANY OF THE GM VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO 2009. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY DUE THE FUEL LEAKING FROM TANK AND SPLATTERING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY DEATHS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL CONTINUE MY RESEARCH. THIS IS MY 24 YEAR OLD NIECE'S CAR. I'M HER UNCLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTION AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE IN THE SHIFT LEVER, IT MOVED BACK AND FORTH FREELY IN THE CASING. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. IT BROKE IN DRIVE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING FORWARD, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED . THE DEALER SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE, AND SAID THE PART WAS A G.M. RECALL PART. HOWEVER, OUR CAR WASN'T COVERED ON THE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A PART CAN BE RECALLED, BUT NOT ALL CARS WITH THE PART ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL TO ME. I HAD TO PAY THE G.M DEALER $306. TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED. I REALLY WANT MY MONEY BACK, I WORK HARD FOR IT, AND THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT. WE DID NOTIFY G.M. AND THEY TOLD US TO NOTIFY YOU. THANK YOU *TR

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN VERY BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS AT NIGHT. REPLACED BULB AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED. REPLACED BULB AGAIN AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW LEARNING THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS CAR BECAUSE THE HARNESS CONNECTOR IS MELTING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT DUE TO CONSTANT OVERHEATING IT WILL NOT PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. GM KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DEEMS IT NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A FATALITY BEFORE PONTIAC/GM TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY? *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. THE STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTED SHAKING AND I WASN'T IN DRIVING MOTION. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING POWER STEERING FAILURE WITH PONITAC G6 2009. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY WON'T THEY DO A RECALL. GM PRODUCED UNSAFE CARS!! BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED ON MY OWN. I SHOULD EXPECT A REFUND WHENEVER GM DECIDES TO DO A RECALL. *TR
