2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TEST AND REPLACED WITH NEW PART CONTAINING A NEW STARTER AND STARTER RELAY. WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR TESTING ON THEFT AUTO SWITCH AND THEY REPORTED IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WILL START AT TIMES WHEN ITS READY ALL OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS WERE FINE. SO WHATS THE CAUSE BEHIND THE DELAY. IGNITION SWITCH! DOES SOMETHING HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE MATTER IS PROPERLY TAKING CARE OF. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL.... *TR

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WAITING TO TURN LEFT ONTO MY ROAD, AS I BEGAN TO TURN LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS BACK TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AT THE TIME. I THEN CAME TO A STOP AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL UNTIL I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REPEATEDLY BY PHONE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY POWER STEERING B/C MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THEIR RECALLS. THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT MY CAR AND ACT LIKE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I CALL. EVERY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED, SO I DO NOT SEE WHY MINE IS NOT ALSO INCLUDED. I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING MY CAR ALL TOGETHER AND FEEL THAT THE POWER STEERING ISSUES ARE VERY EXTREME THAT THEY MAY RESULT IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

WHY ARE THE PARTS FOR THE STEERING RECALL FOR THE PONTIAC G6 NOT YET AVAILABLE FROM GM? HOW MANY MORE CRASHES MUST TAKE PLACE? HAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BEEN FILED YET ON THIS MATTER? IF SO, HOW DO I ENTER MY NAME INTO THAT SUIT? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,126 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,405. DR

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON OUR RADIO UNIT. I CLEARED IT AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AFTER THIS THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND IT SEEMED LIKE TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON SOLVED THE ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE IT HAPPENED FIRST AS IT HAPPENED QUITE SOME TIME AGO, BUT IT HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED SINCE. I NOTICED THE RECALL ON THE NEWS AND WAS DOING RESEARCH ON IT AND THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT IT. I HONESTLY SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT THEN. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR'S TAILS LIGHTS UP AND STAYS LITE EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PETAL IS BEING APPLIED. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR BEING DRIVEN. *TR

USED FROM HURD R.I MY PONTIAC G6 2 YEARS AGO AND ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING , THEY REPLACE SOMETHING BUT NEVER GIVE ME PAPER WORK THEN AROUND 8 MONTHS AGO THE HEATER BLOW WENT AND HAD TO REPLACE IT THE STEERING LIGHT ON DASH GO OFF AT LEAST 2 TIME A MONTHS THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT I NEED STEERING FLU I WAS TOLD YOU DON'T PUT THAT IN THIS CAR..AIR BAG MY SEATS ARE AFTER MARKET LEATHER SEATS AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT INDICATES THE SEAT IS ON THEY ALSO HAVE HEATED SEATS THAT WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO ..MY BRAKE THE I HAD IT CHANGED 4 TIME THIS PAST YEAR I BRING IT TO THE PLACE I BROUGHT IT AND THEY PUSH ME OFF AND SAY IT'S FINE. *JS

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THEY TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. *TR

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, LOSS OF STEERING, ALSO AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF. I AM UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. IT JUST HAPPENED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AGAIN. IT IS DANGEROUS AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING! MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 MONTHS LATER THAN THE RECALL IS THROUGH. OBVIOUSLY, ALL CARS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN, THE DISPLAY OCCASIONALLY WOULD DISPLAY POWERSTEERING. NOTHING SEEMED WRONG OTHER THEN THE MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. THEN ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWERSTEERING WHEN OUT GOING 45MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT BACK UP IN ORDER FOR THE POWERSTEERING TO WORK. THIS SINCE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. POWERSTEERING IS DISPLAYED EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON AND THE POWERSTEERING FREQUENTLY GOES IN AND OUT. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN MY CAR. I AM VERY VERY LUCK I HAVE NOT HARMED ANYONE ELSE OR MYSELF. I AM SCARED TO GET INTO MY CAR AND DRIVE IT BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE POWERSTEERING WILL DECIDE TO CUT OUT. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $800-1,000 TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART. I KNOW I AM JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I HOPE THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE GETS FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSES THOUSANDS OF INJURIES OR POSSIBLE FATALITIES. THANK YOU. *TR
