2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY STEERING HOSE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SO IT BURNED THRU THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE AND INTO THE HOSE CAUSING IT TO BURN AND ME LOSING POWER WHILE STEERING ALMOST GETTING IN TO AN ACCIDENT.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS. GM CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE SAFETY OF THEIR CONSUMERS. I HAVE AN 07 PONTIAC G6 AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY TIGHT, JERKY, AND HARD TO CONTROL. IT IS A MIRACLE I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE BUSY FREEWAY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OTHER G6 VEHICLES ARE HAVING AND MOST HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CAMPAIGN 15V064000. THE 2007 AND MY VIN HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED AND WHO BUT GM KNOWS WHY THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. THERE ARE CLOSE TO 200 COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA ALONE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR. WHY ON EARTH IS GM REFUSING TO REPAIR THESE CARS LIKE THEY ARE DOING ON OTHER YEARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ME, AND THE INNOCENT DRIVERS AROUND ME. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND INCLUDE THE REST OF THE VIN NUMBERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE REST OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT WENT OUT REPEATEDLY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 15 DEGREES. THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED BEFORE GOING OUT AND WAS FOLLOWED BY A VEHICLE ALERT THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST. POWER STEERING WAS RECOVERED WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON. HOWEVER, STEERING CONTINUED TO GO OUT. IT HAS SINCE BEEN INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT GO OUT ONCE EXCEEDING APPROX 15-20 MILES PER HOUR.

MY CAR JUST OUT THE BLUE WHILE I WAS DRIVING STOP TRYIN TO PULL WHILE I WAS DRIVING THEN IT STARTED CUTTING OFF.

MAY 2013 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTING. RESTARTS SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. APRIL 2014 ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER DECELERATING TO DRIVE OVER A SPEED HUMP. WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART AND MUST BE TOWED. TOW TRUCK DRIVER IS ABLE TO GET CAR STARTED BY JIGGLING THE KEY. APRIL 28, 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE WAITING AT STOPLIGHT. WILL NOT RESTART AND MUST BE TOWED. AGAIN, TOW TRUCK DRIVER JIGGLES THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE. APRIL 30, 2015 FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE AND ADJUST LOOSE TRANSMISSION CABLE - $203.25 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. MAY 8, 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER DECELERATING TO DRIVE OVER A SPEED HUMP. RESTARTS SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. MAY 15, 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE COMING TO A STOP TO LET A CAR IN FRONT TURN LEFT. CAR RESTARTS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. EVERY TIME THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS FAIL AS WELL. FORTUNATELY, EVERY ONE OF THE NEARLY HALF-DOZEN TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED OR WHILE STOPPED. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THIS OCCURRED AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALTHOUGH THE G6 IS NOT INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE 20 MODELS AND 2.6 MILLION CARS RECALLED FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, THE LIKENESSES BETWEEN MY ISSUES AND THESE OTHER CARS ARE STRIKINGLY SIMILAR.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BACK IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND AGAIN IN APRIL 2015. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN 3 DAYS LATER. I HAVE SINCE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR A HEADLIGHT LAMP BEING OUT. I KEEP REPLACING THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BUT CLEARLY IT'S NOT THE BULB. I HAD A 2008 PONTIAC G6 PRIOR TO THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 AND IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. I CALLED GM TO SEE ABOUT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. I SPECIFIED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY THEN TOLD ME IT WAS STILL UNDER THE RECALL SO THEY SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. UPON ARRIVING HOME AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS RECALL AND THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS STILL OUT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND TOLD THEM IT WAS STILL OUT AND THEY PRECEEDED TO TELL ME IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SO NOW MY HEADLIGHT IS STILL OUT AND I HAVE NOBODY TO HELP ME ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT.

WHEN MAKING TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT THE STEERING IS STIFFING AND MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE

I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT NOT GOING NO MORE THAN 15 MPH AND MY TIRED BLEW AND BY THE TIRE BLOWING IT PULLED MY CAR INTO A POLE THAT BE IN THE PARKING LOTS AND AGAIN I WAS NOT GOING MORE THAN 15 MPH AND WHEN MY SIDE PASSENGERSIDE STRUCK THE POLE IT DEPLOYED MY AIR BAGS. NOTED THE CAR WAS NOT HIT IN THE FRONT NOR DAMAGED TO WHERE THE AIRBAGS WERE SUPPOSE TO COME OUT. BEFORE THAT WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR MY AIRBAG SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. AND IF I HAVE A PASSENGER SITTIN IN THE PASSENGERSIDE SEAT IT WOULD READ THAT NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT AND THE AIR BAG WOULD BE OFF THEN IF YOU RIDE FOR AWHILE IT WOULD POP BACK ON. BUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING CAUSED GREAT AMOUNT OF PAIN TO MY HUSBAND FACE AND MY CHEST AREA.

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM RIGHT REAR QUARTER OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE CONSISTENT WITH MANY REPORTS ONLINE OF FAILED FUEL PUMP/FILTER MODULE HOSE FITTINGS/CONNECTIONS MOUNTED INTO THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. SUSPICION IS SUPPORTED BY 10% DECLINE IN FUEL ECONOMY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. AFTER DRIVING FORTY FIVE MINUTES, THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT WAS RESTARTED, A BURNING ODOR WAS DETECTED AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT. THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V153000 (STEERING) AND 14E044000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.
