2005 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE WITH MY 68 YR OLD GRANDMOTHER ON MY PASSENGER SIDE. WE WERE SITTING AT THE LIGHT WAITING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO TURN GREEN WHEN SUDDENLY MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON & MY CAR STATES POWER STEERING LOSS. THEN I REALLY LOST POWER STEERING IN MID TURN. THANKFUL ENOUGH THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS GREEN LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE TURN BECAUSE HAD IT NOT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT MULTIPLE WAY. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE PONTIAC G6 2005 MODEL & I TRULY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED? *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GOES OUT WITHOUT NOTICE WHILE I'M DRIVING. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT AMONG SEVERAL GM MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING INDICATORS POPS UP ON THE DASH, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR PULLED IN TO THE PARKING LOT TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IT WAS HARD AND THEN IT FELT LIKE COULD NOT TURN NO MORE I REVERSE AND IT JERKS THE WHEEL BACK AGAIN. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL BUT IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS LATER. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2005 PONTIAC G6 AND I HAVE PROBLEMS ALONG WITH MANY MANY OTHERS. FIRST OF ALL THE ROTORS ARE VERY WARPED AND WHEN I DRIVE ON FREEWAY AND HIT THE BRAKES THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AND FEELS VERY UNSAFE!! AND THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE STEERING COLUMN POPS WHEN MAKING TURNS, LEFT AND RIGHT..I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME AND MANY OTHERS THANKS *TR

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 PONTIAC G6. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED A MECHANIC. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE I HAVE ELECTRIC STEERING. HE SAID THAT IF I DID NOT GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY THE STEERING COULD LOCK UP ON ME AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

THE PONTIAC G6 BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, SO DID THE ABS, POWER STEERING LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE GAUGES WERE SPIKING, BATTERY LIGHT, AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS IT WAS SAYING THE GAS TANK LOW LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING TOUGH TO TURN AT TIMES. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE CAR UNLESS THEY COULD PHYSICALLY SEE THAT THE STEERING WAS ACTING UP. JUST YESTERDAY, I COULDN'T TURN MY CAR WITHOUT USING TWO HANDS TO TUG ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WOULDN'T TURN WITHOUT FIGHTING WITH THE CAR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I WANT TO SELL THE CAR BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH STEERING SO MANY TIMES. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE CAR? DO I HAVE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY WILL FIX IT OR RECALL IT, BECAUSE I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT WHEN I HAD THE WARRANTY. I AM NOW OVER THE MILES FOR A WARRANTY. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY WAS THE CAR WON'T START. SOMETIMES I TURN THE KEY AND IT WON'T START. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY START. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. IT'S SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. IT IS UNREAL THAT I CAN'T GET INTO MY CAR AND START IT WITHOUT HAVING A PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES, BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO HELP WITH ANYTHING. THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE PONTIAC G6. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE UNLESS ALL OF THE ISSUES ARE CORRECTED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO GO GET LUNCH AND PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AND BELL WENT OFF AND I COULD NOT STEER MY 2005 PONTIAC G6. I PULLED INTO A SATURN DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS THE FIRST RIGHT TURN OFF THE BUSY ROAD I FOUND MYSELF ON. IT TOOK TWO PEOPLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND I HAD TO PARK SIDEWAY'S IN THREE SPOTS. I WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEEK ASSISTANCE AND HAD ONE OF THE PORTERS DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE AREA WHEN HE REPORTED THE ISSUE HAD RESOLVED ITSELF. AFTER TALKING WITH A TECHNICIAN, HE RECOMMENDED THAT I WAIT TO HAVE IT SERVICED TO SEE IF IT WAS A MOMENTARY BLIP IN THE COMPUTER OR IF THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF AGAIN. I AGREED BUT DECIDED TO DO AN INTERNET SEARCH ON MY CAR, MAKE AND MODEL ONLY TO FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINT'S OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE IN THE '05 AND '06 MODEL. WHAT MAKES ME EVEN MORE UPSET AND DISGUSTED IS THAT POSTING AFTER POSTING ALL OVER THE NET STATE THAT GM KNOWS THE STEERING IS FAILING AND POSTED A BULLETIN IN 2007 STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT NEVER BOTHERED TO SEND OUT ANY COMMUNICATIONS WHEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN WELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE 102,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND AM LOOKING AT AN $800 - $1000 REPAIR UNLESS I JUNK THIS PIECE OF CRAP. IN ADDITION - MY CAR HAS HAD A LENGTHILY SERVICE RECORD THAT IS QUITE DISAPPOINTING. I HAVE HAD A NEW FUEL SYSTEM INCLUDING FUEL PUMP, FUEL LINES, SOLENOID (SP?), FOUR STEERING RACKS, TWO SETS OF CONTROL ARM'S, A STEERING COLUMN, STEERING COIL, STEERING GEAR, STEREO/CD PLAYER, TAIL LIGHTS, IGNITION AND WINDOW CLIPS TO MAKE THEM STOP SCREAMING. THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT SINCE THE VW BEETLE OF '03. AND WE WONDER WHY NO ONE WANTS TO BUY AMERICAN ANYMORE...GM HERE'S YOUR SIGN. *TR

2005 PONTIAC G6 WITH 68,000 MILES. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED AT 56,000 MILES DUE TO HARD, AND ERRATIC STEERING. THE STEERING HAS IN THE LAST DAY BECOME HARD TO TURN, AND TAKES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO CHANGE DIRECTION. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR UNTIL THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CAN GET IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. I SEE THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT, AND DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHICH COULD BE LIFE THREATENING . *TR
