2005 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT AND I HAVE READ AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND MANY HAVING ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A NUMBER 1 CONCERN WHERE IT CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. I HAD IT GO ON ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, IM SO GLAD THE CAR COMING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTING REALIZED I WAS HAVING TROUBLE. *TR

PROBLEM WITH 2005 PONTIAC G6. STEERING COLUMN AND POWER STEERING RACK HAS A POPPING NOISE AND OCCASIONALLY POWER STEERING ACTS LIKE ITS IS GOING OUT. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE G6'S. DESPITE THE FACT THAT PONTIAC IS NOW FILING BANKRUPT, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE G6'S RESOLVED. THIS OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ONLY GETTING WORSE EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE RACK AND PINION AND NUMEROUS TRIPS TO A MECHANIC TO TRY TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION. G6'S HAVE FAULTY STEERING/CHASSIS SERIOUS PROBLEMS KNOW TO CAUSES ACCIDENTS AS I'M SURE SOME HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA ACCORDING TO OTHER INTERNET COMMENTS ON THE G6'S. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON HIGHWAY, HAD TO GET OFF ROAD, HAD MY 12 YR OLD SON IN CAR, WAS OVER 1 HOUR FROM HOME. THIS COULD OF BEEN DEADLY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY ON INTERSTATE, WAS TOLD BY FRIEND THAT SHE ALSO HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HER G6, WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO WARN GM OWNERS TO GET CAR CHECKED. THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD AND DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED IF NOT ALREADY FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

ONE DAY THE CAR'S BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON. IT OCCURS DAILY FOR NO REASON. IT HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY AND BURNT OUT THE LIGHTS. IT ALSO CONFUSES DRIVERS. I WENT TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE RECALL I WAS SPEAKING OF DIDN'T INVOLVE MY VEHICLE. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $116.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID KNOW OF THE RECALL, BUT IT DIDN'T PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WASN'T BUILT IN THE MONTH THEY HAVE HAD THE PROBLEMS. *TR

PONTIAC G6 WARPED ROTOR PROBLEMS. WARPED ROTORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED APPROX. EVERY 13K MILES. GM ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE ROTORS. MY DAUGHTERS 05 G6 (WHICH I CO-SIGNED) HAS HAD FOUR ROTOR REPLACEMENTS WITH ONLY 54K MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS AND SITES SITTING THE EXACT PROBLEM. PLEASE GIVE CONSIDERATION TO AN INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. I CAN'T TURN THE CAR. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK 45 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. STEERING WHEEL JUST LOCKED UP WHEN I WAS TURNING. VERY SCARY! JUST HAPPENED THIS MORNING, SO I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO REPAIR IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE POWER ASSIST MOTOR WAS REPLACED. IN 2007 SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AT THE TIME. THE NOTICE STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE MOTOR ON THE VEHICLE IF IT IS 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES. HER VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ON 4/13/09 WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.. THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $568 AND GM WILL NOT REIMBURSE HER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,864. UPDATED 04-29-09 *BF UPDATED 05/27/09 *BF THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR, HOWEVER A MONTH LATER, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. UPDATED 06/02/09.*JB

WELL IT ALL STARTED FOR MY STUPID PURCHASE OF A ?!@#$% CAR, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR COSTING ME TONS OF MONEY. 6 TIMES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ROTORS AND MY BRAKE PADS BECAUSE OF A JOLTING SHAKING FEELING WITH THIS CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY NEVER CHANGED THE ROTORS ALL THEY DID WAS MILL THEM DOWN, 3 TIMES THEY MILLED THEM DOWN AND THE PROBLEM KEPT COMING BACK UNTIL MY WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY SAID YOUR ON YOUR OWN. SOMETIMES I TRY TO START MY CAR AND IT WILL SHAKE AND PUT AND DIE OUT AND THEN IT I WILL TRY IT AGAIN AND IT WILL START, BUT I HAVE HAD MY CAR NOT START BACK UP 2 TIMES AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED AND FIXED AND ALL THEY SAID WAS IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY BUT THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES WITH IN A YEAR AND IT STILL HAPPENS NOW. I STARTED MY CAR AND STARTED TO DRIVE AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIOLENTLY JOLT IT SELF TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT AND IT ACTUALLY HURT MY WRIST FROM THIS AND THEN THE CAR DIED OUT AND HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING AND PROBLEM WAS A DEAD BATTERY IS WHAT THEY SAID. PASSENGER DOOR SOME HOW FILLED UP WITH WATER AND CAUSED ALL MY ELECTRICAL TO GO HAYWIRE IN MY CAR AND SHOWING DOOR AJAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND IT WOULD GO OFF CAUSING MY INTERIOR LIGHTS TO NOT GO OFF, MY FLOOD LIGHTS WOULDN'T WORK, CD PLAYER AND RADIO ONLY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK NOW, AND SOME OF THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR GO ON AND OFF WHEN THEY WANT. POWER ARM IN MY CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES ALREADY COSTING ME A FORTUNE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, WONDER IF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SHOTTY ROTORS AND BRAKE PROBLEMS. AFTER REVEALING THIS TO GM ALL I HAVE HEARD BACK FROM THEM WAS TO TAKE IT IN A GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR AND THEN THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. DON"T BUY ANY PONTIAC CARS, THE WARRANTY ONLY MEANS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX IT AND WHEN WARRANTY IS UP YOUR ON YOUR OWN. STILL HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING RESOLVED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKES BEING ENGAGED. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE). THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

STEERING COLUMN CLUNKS WHEN TURNING, SOMETIMES CAUSES STEERING PROBLEMS, HARD TO STEER. THIS IS ON A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. HAD COLUMN REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY, NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN, VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE. *TR
