2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN IGNITION BROKE AND THEN THE ENGINE LOCKED. PLEASE INCLUDE THIS IN THE RECALL. OR SHOULD I GET A LAWYER? *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 PONTIAC G6 (179,000 MILES) FOR MY SON ON APRIL 26, 2014. A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN THE POWER STEERING HAS LOCKED UP ON HIM, CAUSING HIM TO HAVE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR SO THE STEERING WILL AGAIN WORK.SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE THE CAR ON MAY 11, 2014. I LOOKED UP ON-LINE TO INQUIRER IF THIS WAS PART OF RECALL, BUT WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT IN RECALL. CALLED DEALER THEY STATED THAT GM HAS POLICY OUT THERE IF NOT ON RECALL THEY ARE ONLY FIXING VEHICLES UNDER 150, 000 MILES. HUH? SO BECAUSE THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN MORE, IT IS NOT COVERED BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THOSE COVERED. PLEASE HELP.ALL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED, MY CHILDS SAFETY IS ON THE LINE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT USED TO JUST GO OUT ON OCCASION. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THINK IT SHOULD BE SINCE IT GOES OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT TURNING LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL JERK PULLING RIGHT. I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING. MY CAR ENDED UP ON THE SIDEWALK OF LOWE'S TREES. I WAS SO AFRAID BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN. RIGHT THEN MY CAR BECAME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR HOME. THAT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE. MY ARMS AND HANDS HURT DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING IN ANY DIRECTION. *TR

THE 2006 PONTIAC'S BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE, AND THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. I'M NOT SURE THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS SCARY!!!!!! *TR

WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION (GOING STRAIGHT) I WAS COMING TO THE STREET I NEEDED TO TURN RIGHT ON AND MY STEERING LOCKED AND I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT GO STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER, TURN CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE STEERING RESET AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE TURNS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THE TROUBLE CODE ON THE CAR WAS CO545 WHICH INDICATED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. UPON RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING IN 2005-2006 AND MORE CURRENT PONTIAC G6 HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER THE 10 YEAR/150,000 MILE SPECIAL POLICY I WAS TOLD NO BASED ON MY VIN. THIS UPSET ME SINCE THERE HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN MANY REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING. *TR

CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WILL LOCK PUTTING THE CAR INTO STRAIGHT POSITION, WHILE IN TURNS, BENDS, CURES,. ETC. THIS HAS LEFT ME I N TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, NEARLY SIDE SWIPING CARS BESIDE ME, HEADING FRONT ON WITH CARS NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AND HAVE CONTROL. *TR
