2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING, AFFECTING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL DIRECTION OF STEERING ALMOST COMPLETELY. *TR

I HAVE 2009 PONTIAC AND I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT LIKE FIVE TIMES STILL DOESN'T WORK WERE I LIVE I SEE ALOT OF THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALREADY HAD THE LATCH FOR SHIFTER REPLACED CAUSE IT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING SEEING ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG AS THE POST OF EVERYBODY WITH HEADLIGHT BRAKES THE ENGINE I THINK THE WHOLE CAR SHOULD BE RECALL BEFORE ALOT OF PEOPLE GET HURT ITS A DEATH TRAP ALL KIND OF THINGS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND IN THIS DAY AND TIME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING A CAR THAT HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS NOT BY WEAR AND TEAR BUT BY NOT PROPERLY PUTTING IT TOGETHER MY CAR WAS 16,000 DOLLARS AND TO PAY THAT MUCH AND HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

I DRIVE A PONTIAC G6 .. MY BRAKE LIGHTS JUST COME ON WHEN EVER THEY WANT. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED BY A DEALER BEFORE , BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK IN. IT HAS HAPPEN TO MY CAR 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. WE HAVE BEEN USING THE A FIX FOUND ON THE INTERNET BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR LONG. AS I DRIVE 40 MIN. TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY I FEAR THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT . I ALSO HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER G6'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE I'M DRIVING. PLEASE RECALL ALL FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY. *TR

LOW BEAM LIGHT ON BOTH THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES KEEP GOING OUT. I KEEP REPLACING AND IMMEDIATELY THEY GO OUT. BULBS WERE NOT BURNT OUT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN. ALSO, THE TAILLIGHTS AND BLINKER!! VERY MAD AND I DO NOT HAVE A MONEY TREE TO FUND THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STAND UP AND FIX THIS NOW!!!! *TR

LOW BEAM LIGHT ON BOTH THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES KEEP GOING OUT. I KEEP REPLACING AND IMMEDIATELY THEY GO OUT. BULBS WERE NOT BURNT OUT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN. THE METAL IN THE CONNECTORS ARE FRIED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT THIS IS A WIRING PROBLEM AND A FIRE HAZARD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD, BUT INTERMITTENTLY WORKING HEADLIGHTS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF RANDOMLY GOING OUT. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AND WARNING ON IT COMES UP ON DISPLAY. THERE IS MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED. MY WIFE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT AHEAD OF TIME. GM DOES HAVE A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES. MY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A ACCIDENT IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME. SHE DRIVES THIS CAR MOST OF THE TIME. I CAN UNDERSTAND A FAILURE ON A PART WITH HIGH MILEAGE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS PART. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS WITH HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING WITH MILEAGE MUCH HIGHER MILES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE REPAIR IS VERY PRICEY TO FIX. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE DECEIVING THE PUBLIC FOR NOT FIXING IT AND REPORTING IT TO BUYERS. *TR

WHILE FOLLOWING MY WIFE IN OUR 2009 G6 I NOTICED THAT SHE WAS RIDDING THE BRAKES. WHEN I ASKED HER WHY SHE SAID SHE WASN'T USING THE BRAKES AT ALL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON AND STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD AND ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE THEN VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND TRAVELED OVER A CURB. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND BACK. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SOON DISCOVERED THAT PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR TIRE HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION PIN, CV JOINT, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, BRAKE LIGHTS WORK THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD. THEY ARE ON WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED AND GO OFF WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. I SPENT ~$300 HAVING THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DIAGNOSED AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) HAS CORROSION AND REQUIRED DIELECTRIC PASTE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. APPROXIMATELY 14 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK FOR RECALL AND HE FOUND A TECH BULLETIN DESCRIBING EXACTLY THIS MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE. THEY PERFORMED IT AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE 100% CORRECTED AS SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. SEARCHING FORUMS ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS FAR MORE COMMON THAT ONE WOULD THINK AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
