2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR TONIGHT. HE CALLED ME FROM HIS FRIENDS HOUSE AND SAID THAT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, CAR WAS OFF, BUT COULDN'T REMOVE IGNITION KEY. I GOT THERE, CAR WAS PARKED IN FRIENDS DRIVEWAY, I STARTED THE CAR, WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER, EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T FEEL IT SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR. I THEN SHIFTED IT INTO WHAT I "ASSUMED" WAS PARK, SHUT CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, AND CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I APPLIED THE E-BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. I WENT AHEAD AND ROLLED IT BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVE SINCE I KNEW IT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE FRONT END. I HAD TO BACK MY OTHER CAR UP TO IT, BUMPER TO BUMPER TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME . THE SENSORS WAS A ISSUE AND MY TIRES WAS ALWAYS BALD . I HAD TO BUY NEW TIRES EVERY WEEK IN THE FRONT. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR . MY TIRE POPPED OFF WHILE IN MOTION.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, I DID RESEARCH TO FIND OUT IT WAS ELECTRICAL. IT WENT OFF AND ON BEFORE STAYING OFF MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE OBVIOUSLY. IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE FOR MY SON AND I TO GET TO WORK IN. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AS WELL. I HAVE HAD MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, REPLACING HEADLIGHT AFTER HEADLIGHT, STARTER, ETC. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST OR TORQUE ASSEMBLY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. A RECALL TO FIX THESE ISSUES NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE!

WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. *TR

THE CAR IS SOME BULL[XXX] I STARTED CUTTING OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *CC

I WAS IN MOTION ON HWY281 CAR STARTED TO JERK PARKED REALIZED BOTH FRONT TIRES ARE BALD ON INSIDE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET CONNECTOR IN THE HEADLIGHTS OVERHEAT AND MELT ...SO THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF...I HAVE REPLACED THEM SO MANY TIMES..AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!!! I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IT HAPPENED. VERY SCARY!!!! IT IS A BAD DESIGN. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT IDLE AND THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IDLING ON THE ROAD AND DURING TURNS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,000.

THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. THEY ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I STOP WHICH HAS ALOMST GOTTEN ME REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT CANNOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO IMPORPER WIRING AND IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE ONLY TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT GO BELOW 3RD AND IS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING CAUSING ACCELERATING PROBLEMS, WHEN DRIVING IN GENERAL, AND AM UNABLE TO KEEP A PROPER AMOUNT OF GAS BECAUSE ITS BURING THROUGH DUE TO THIS. I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE BREAKS AND HEADLIGHT ARE ALWAYS A PROBLEM WHETER DRIVING OR IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY!
