2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND PERFORMED A TUNE-UP, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND THE STEERING WILL LOCK UP. AFTER LOCKING UP, THE SERVICE ESC, POWER STEERING, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATE. THE STEERING WILL REMAIN LOCKED UP UNTIL YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND RESTART IT. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER MORE TIMES THAN NOT IT OCCURS IN CURVES OR WHILE MAKING A TURN. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW I SEE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ISSUED TILL SIMILAR MODELS PRIOR TO 2010; HOWEVER 2010 HAS BEEN LEFT OUT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS WRECKS; BECAUSE WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL.

RECALL FIXED THIS IS 3RD TIME . I AM DISABLED AND THIS IS TERRIBLE. AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT OR DONT WORK RIGHT AFTER REPLACEMENT

CURRENTLY ON ROADTRIP WITH MY FAMILY FROM FLORIDA BACK HOME TO INDIANA. IN THE LAST 800 MILES, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND CUT OFF MY CAR WHEN I CUT IT BACK ON "POWER STEERING" FLASHED ACROSS THE LED AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. CUTTING CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN UNLOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL. NEXT I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING AND LOOSE TURNING LEFT. WHEN WE ARE IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL TWITCHES BACK AND FORTH AND RATTLES AND IT'S HARD TO TURN WHILE PARKED. WE ARE CURRENTLY BREAKING AT A HOTEL WITH 800+ MILES LEFT UNTIL WE'RE HOME, KIND OF SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT BUT WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY HOME. WISH ME AND MY FAMILY LUCK ON THE REST OF OUR JOURNEY

EPS SERVICE POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING AND AFTER TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART OR WARMS UP IT WILL FUNCTIIN AGAIN. I WAS PLACED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED WITH THIS PROBLEM. RECALLS ON 2009 AND BELOW HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE REVIEWS REPORTING 2010

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL SHAKES IF YOU TURN IT OFF THEN ON IT DOES THE SAME THING

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. EVERY TIME I WOULD START THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING WORKED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND THEN I WOULD HEAR A FAINT SOUND LIKE A FUSE OR SENSOR GOING OUT, POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ESC WOULD BEGIN FLASHING REPEATEDLY ON THE DASH AND MY POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING. SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT ONLY CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO RETURN FOR A FEW SECONDS. AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS ROUGHLY 105,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING COMPUTERIZED/ELECTRICAL WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN AND WOULD COST $900 TO FIX. I WAS UNABLE TO AFFORD TO GET THE CAR FIXED SO I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS, RANDOMLY THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING 100% OF THE TIME AGAIN. THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING AT ALL, UP UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. THE SAME EXACT THING IS HAPPENING AS BEFORE EXCEPT FOR IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, HAVING TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE CAR AND IT IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WHILE PARKING. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 117,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT.

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL TIMES IN MY VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF A MONTH. I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND THAT USUALLY FIXES IT BUT ONLY TEMPORARLY.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 60 MPH WHEN I GOT A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. I NOTICED THAT MY POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I PULLED OVER, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT I HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH. TWO WEEKS LATER, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN A CORNER WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL IN 2009 BUT IN 2010 IT BECAME A SAFETY BULLETIN. WHY? IT WILL COST ME OVER $600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL NOTICE.

MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 WILL RANDOMLY HAVE THE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS COMES AND GOES AND CAN GO FOR MONTHS WITHOUT IT HAPPENING AND THEN RANDOMLY START UP AGAIN. NOW MY STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHILE STOPPED AND ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME I START MY CAR I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I START MY CAR AND I CAN TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY GM DEALERSHIP WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND 2,000 TO FIX, AND NOW I NEED TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WHICH IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER LARGE BILL.
