2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON THE CONSOLE OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR (MARCH 2013). THE POWER STEERING WOULD SHAKE, MAKE CLICKING NOISES (I HAD REPEATEDLY CALLED THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE CAR AT AND THEY SAID SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT USED AND THEY ARE NOT A SERVICE STATION IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM). THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR TO GET IT TO RESET. THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT OFF AND ON SINCE JAN. 2014. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT GM WAS RECALLING POWER STEERING FOR THE G6S BUT ONLY ON SOME NOT ALL. IF YOU INVESTIGATE ONLINE..THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH ALL MODELS OF PONTIAC G6. I CALLED GM AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THAT IF MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL I WOULD RECEIVE A NOTICE. WELL I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THAT NOTICE TO DATE AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM SINCE THIS CAR IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING THAT THE RECALL STATES FOR THE OTHER YEARS...THIS PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY AFFECTING THE 2007 G6 AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER YEARS. ITS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD! *TR

PROBLEMS: POWER STEERING RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING, STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE. WHEN FIRST STARTING CAR RADIO SCREEN READS "POWER STEERING". NO POWER STEERING, OFTEN TURNING CAR OFF THEN BACK ON TEMPORARILY FIXES ISSUE, BUT IT SOON RETURNS. YESTERDAY MORNING I WAS DRIVING THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND CAUSED TO GO OFF THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING IT TOED HOME POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY GONE. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED GM (YESTERDAY) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DISPLAYING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OF A FAULTING STEERING COLUMN FROM SIMILAR VEHICLES RECALLED ( 2005 , 6 8 AND 9 PONTIAC G6S) IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2007 G6 STEERING COLUMNS PROBLEMS BUT THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND BECAME INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 301,000.

I HAVE BEEN FEELING VERY BAD SHAKING IN STEERING WHEEL LATELY. TOOK TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE AND THERE IS NOW A LITTLE LESS SHAKING BUT STILL SHAKES. WHEEL IS ACTUALLY FEELING REALLY LOSE WHICH TO MY PAST EXPERIENCE IS WHEN THE STEERING ISSUE STARTS BECAUSE ITS LIKE IT GETS REALLY LOOSE BEFORE IT LOCKS UP ON YOU. WELL ANYWAY YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE REGARDING WHAT CAN BE WRONG SEEN A RECALL BUT CALLED GM, THE DEALER AND THE DORMAN MFR AND ALL 3 SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ONE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER I LIKE OTHERS HAVE HEARD A NOISE IN MY CAR SINCE I GOT IT AT ABOUT 92000 MILES ON IT. ALTHOUGH NO INCIDENT, I AM VERY NERVOUS SINCE I DO DRIVE A LOT AND FEEL AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS WRONG AND CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. GM CALLED THE DEALER SO THAT I CAN GET A DIAGNOSIS AND SINCE I CAN'T DROP IT OFF BECAUSE I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO LEAVE AND COME BACK WHEN THEY ARE DONE THEY SAID THEY CAN'T GET ME IN TO DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL DEC 31 WHICH FOR WHAT IS FEELING WRONG WITH THE CAR IS NOT VERY GOOD SINCE IT IS ONLY DEC 8, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND DEC 31. HOPEFULLY WITH ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES THEY WILL GET THEIR CRAP TOGETHER. I FEEL AS THOUGH AFTER SO MANY RECALLS AND ISSUES WITH SPECIFIC MODELS THERE SHOULD JUST BE COMPENSATION TO ASSIST WITH GETTING ANOTHER CAR INSTEAD OF KEEP THROWING US OUT THERE AND RISKING LIVES. THIS TO ME IS TOO MANY SAFETY ISSUES. I JUST GOT DONE HAVING 2 RECALLS DONE ON MY CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO WHICH TOOK FOREVER TO FINALLY BE RECALLED. BY THE TIME THE RECALLS ARE BEING PLACED MY CAR IS ON ITS LAST LIMB WITH THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE. *TR

PONTIAC G6 2007 90,000 MILES FUEL SYSTEM LEAK STARTED SMELLING FUEL FUMES , I LIFTED THE CAR AND NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND WAS LEAKING DOWN AFT SIDE OF FUEL TANK AND ONTO EXHAUST PIPE; NOW THAT HAS ME CONCERNED. I'VE READ PLENTY OF OTHER INSTANCES WITH CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER SUCH AS A RECALL OR SPECIAL FIX? *TR
