2005 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. LAST WEEK WHEN I WAS TURN ON THE OFF RAMP I COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING. THE LIGHT CAME ON STATING POWER STEERING, AND MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO A GAS STATION THOUGH IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD. I BOUGHT SOME POWER STEERING FLUID, BUT TO MY SURPRISE MY CAR HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SO THERE WOULDN'T BE A FLUID I COULD FILL. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON AND MY STEERING WAS FINE. TODAY - ABOUT SIX DAYS LATER - I WAS PULLING OFF THE OFF RAMP AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED. THIS TIME I COULD BARELY STEER AT ALL. I PULLED OVER, SHUT MY CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND I SEE THAT I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE THIS COULD BE A LIFE OR DEATH PROBLEM, AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS I FEEL GM SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS THAT MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE!!!!! TELL YOU WHAT....WHY DON'T I COME OVER AND PICK UP YOUR CHILDREN, FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND TAKE THEM FOR A RIDE AND HOPE THAT THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T FAIL AND WE CRASH AND DIE. GET MY POINT??? OR MAYBE I WILL JUST HAVE 16. ACCIDENTS AND RACK UP MY INSURANCE. WHY IS THIS ISSUE NOT A RECALL? *TR

STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE. THIS IS WHEN I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYING POWER STEERING AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT STRUGGLING (LOSS OF POWER STEERING). AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. WHAT IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS. DEATH? NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE REPAIR IS TO EXPENSIVE AND I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER FOR GM. *TR

WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN DRIVING TO WORK THE POWER STEERING IN MY G6 WENT OUT CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP SENDING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I LUCKILY WAS OUT AT A LOW TRAFFIC TIME AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE STEERING AFTER THAT POINT WAS POSSIBLE BUT EXTREMELY HARD TO MANAGE AND SHARP OR QUICK TURNS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. I REACHED MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS CLOSE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE THE "POWER STEERING" ALERT THAT HAD FLASHED ON MY RADIO WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN ON ONGOING PROBLEM AND I CAN EXPECT THAT IT WILL HAPPEN TO MY CAR AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING PUTTING ME IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2005 PONTIAC G6. I WAS TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION UNABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR ALMOST GETTING HIT HEAD ON AND BY SEVERAL OTHER CARS AS I WAS JUS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THIS CAR NEED TO BE RECALLED AS I READ SO MANY STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SOME WHICH CAUSED ACCIDENTS. IN MY CASE IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THANK GOD THAT OTHER DRIVERS WERE PAYING ATTENTION AND SOMEHOW AVOIDED MY CAR. HOW THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET BLOWS MY MIND!!!!! NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. ON TOP OF THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY STEERING CAN GO OUT AT ANYTIME. IM DRIVING A CAR THAT CAN LOOSE STEERING AT ANY TIME WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHICH ENDANGERS ANYBODY AROUND ME. *TR

I WAS DIVING MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP, ALMOST CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION BY CARS DOING 50 MPH. I WAS JUST SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL MY CAR AFTER THAT HAPPENED ALMOST GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER 2 CARS. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WASN'T UNDER WARRANT SO THEY DID NOT REPLACE IT. THEY SAID IT WORKS FOR NOW BUT IT COULD GO OUT ANYTIME IM DRIVING, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE JUST MY LUCK, ONLY TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAY PROBLEM IN THE SAME YEAR, IN THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME MILEAGE. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED ASAP SOMEBODY WILL GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED BY THIS. I WAS ONLY DOING AROUND 20MPH AND ALMOST GOT HIT THREE TIMES HEAD ON AND FROM THE BACK IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR EVEN TURNING DOWN A SIDE STREET AND LOOSING THE STEERING AND RUNNING UP A CURB ENDANGERING INNOCENT BYSTANDERS. SINCE THESE ARE NEWER CARS THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE CARS OUT THERE THAT HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THIS YET BUT WILL. NOT ONLY PEOPLE DRIVING THESE CARS ARE IN DANGER AT ANYTIME BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE TO. I ALMOST GOT HIT HEAD ON BY A FORD TRUCK HIS LIFE WASIN DANGER JUST AS MUCH AS MINE. HOW THESE CARS ARE NOT RECALLED YET BLOWS MY MIND?????? SO MANY PEOPLE LIVES ARE IN DANGER IM DRIVING A CAR THAT THEY SAID THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. ARE THEY JUST GOING TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE GET KILLED BY THIS IF NOT ALREADY OR COME UP WITH A SOLUTION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE LIVES ARE AT RISK. THESE CARS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND RECALLED ASAP. I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY DON'T MAKE EXTENDED LIVES. RECALL ASAP RECALL ASAP. *TR

I WAS DROPPING MY 2 KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL THIS MORNING WHEN I HEARD THE WARNING SIGNAL COME ON AND I LOOKED AND SEEN "POWER STEERING" IN THE INFORMATION WINDOW ON THE STEREO AND A LITTLE CAR ON THE DASH. I NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO BE LOOKED AT AND WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SO I HAD THEM CHANGE THE OIL AND CHECK ALL OF THE FLUIDS AND AS THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE IT DID THE SAMETHING TO HIM. THEY TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR BUT THEY KNOW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE PERSON AT THE FRONT DESK DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO PUT A RECALL OUT ON THIS PROBLEM OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BEFORE ANYONE TAKES ACTION. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR AND I DID NOT HIT SOMEONE AND GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 G6 ABOUT 1 YR AGO. I AM EXPERIENCING TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT GETS VERY STIFF AND HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL, THEN THE POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARED ON THE CONSOLE INFO SCREEN. I THOUGHT IT NEEDED FLUID SO WHEN I WENT LOOKING FOR THE PLACE TO PUT IT AND THERE WASN'T ONE. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS FIXED? *TR

PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OPERATING OPPOSITE (BRAKES LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND NOT ILLUMINATED WHILE BRAKE IS APPLIED). CRUISE CONTROL NOT ENGAGING. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME MODELS OF THE G6 BUT WAS TOLD BY PONTIAC THAT MY G6 WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 AND I AM HAVING THE STEERING LOCK UP AND MAKES SEVERAL POPPING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT LOCKS UP SEEMS LIKE ALL THE TIME AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN SO I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP THANK YOU *TR
