2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

ON SEVERAL OCCASION I NOTICE THAT IF YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY THE CAR WOULD BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVER ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND A CAR PULLED IN FROM OF ME. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID GETTING HIT, MY CAR BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO DIE. MY SON WAS GOING TO WORK ON 6/3/2014, SOMEONE PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM HE SWERVED TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT AND AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN, AND SPIN, AND SPIN OUT OF CONTROL HE HIT THE WALL SEVERAL TIME BEFORE STOPPING, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE TOTALED. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE CHECK FOR DEFECT BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MY FAULT OR MY SON WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

REFERENCE TO:NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10594629 JUST LOCKS AND "POWER STEERING" (NO KIDDING!) COMES ON THE RADIO W/CHIME. ALL OR NOTHING. YOU CAN STILL DRIVE WITH MAJOR ARM WORKOUT. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE YOUR DRIVING, WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE CAR AND TURN THE KEY OR EVEN IF YOU LEAVE IT WARMING UP AND COME BACK OUT. RIGHT NOW WITH ME IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERYTIME I TURN THE KEY AND EVEN IF IT STARTS OK IT COULD HAPPEN THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK OR BE FINE ALL DAY. *TR

ONCE AGAIN GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2006 PONTIAC G6'S FOR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, AND DIFFICULTIES GETTING THE CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS AND SHUT OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY DISENGAGE AS WELL. ONCE AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? THE SYMPTOMS I'VE EXPERIENCED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. BOTH RECALLS TO BE EXACT. THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS BUT I'M NOT COVERED AND THE GM REPS ARE NO HELP. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS GOING AROUND A CURB AND NOTICE THE WHEEL TURNING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THAN I SAW THAT MY RADIO SHOW IN RED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS A PROBLEM. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. IT WAS STIFF AND HARD TO MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND NOTICE THAT IT WAS NOT STIFF ANY MORE AND I COULD DRIVE THE CAR AS NORMAL. VERY AFRAID THAT IT WILL LOCK UP AGAIN. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE REGARDLESS OF SPEED. GASOLINE RUNS DOWN TANK NEAR EXHAUST SYSTEM. PUMP IS NOT IN AN AREA OF THE CAR WHERE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS EXPECTED. *TR
