2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE POST OFFICE PARKING LOT MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND I HAD TO MUSCLE TO CAR OUT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC (A TRUCK WAS HEADED TOWARD ME). I PULLED IN THE TURN LANE AND A CAR NARROWLY MISSED ME TRYING TO GET IN THE TURN LANE TOO. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME 35 MILES AN HOUR WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO GET HOME. I WAS ON HIGHWAY M-37 NEAR BEDFORD, MICHIGAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNDRIVEABLE.

THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I STARTED IT TO GO TO LEAVE AND I COULD NOT REVERSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S CALLED BUT THERE WAS LIKE SOME KIND OF CLIP THAT SOMEBODY HAD TO PIECE TOGETHER FOR ME JUST SO IT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE DRIVABLE ALSO THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CUT FLASHING ON THE RADIO AND I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY POWER STEERING FLUID AND I FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS THAT MOTOR WELL WHENEVER I GO IN REVERSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS LIKE ON BUT IT'S NOT AND WHENEVER I'M DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND IT CLICKS IF I TURN IT TOO FAR

WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING 🚗 TODAY I COULDN'T NORMALLY STEER TO EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT PULLING TREMENDOUSLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AS WELL ALMOST LIKE ITS STALLING OUT PUTTER, , "GM, IS SHORT FOR GOD MODE AND CAN HE BUILD IT, OR "GOT MAN" CAUSE HE 'GOT YA' WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT.. GREAT. LOVE IT. FML

THE STEERING ALMOST GAVE OUT AND MAKING NOISE. THE WHOLE STEERING ELECTRIC SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ONE DAY WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON A POWER STEERING MESSAGE TURNED ON OUT OF NOWHERE. I TURNED MY CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE. A WEEK PASSED THEN THE MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING' APPEARED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING MAKING ME UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. I HAD TO STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF THEN TURNED IT BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT HOME.

THE POWER STEERING WARNING IS SHOWING UP ON THE RADIO. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO ENTER A GAS STATION IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL AND I ALMOST HIT A SNOW BANK.

I WILL BE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. THEN COME BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN. DID THIS FOR ABOUT A WEEK. NOW JUST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL UNLESS I TURN THE WHEEL WHEN I START THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND COULDN'T MOVE, I EVENTUALLY GOT IT TO A GAS STATION WHERE I PURCHASED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID BECAUSE THE LIGHT SHOWED UP UNDER THE TIME CLOCK ON THE RADIO; COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A SPOT TO PUT THE FLUID. IM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, IT EVEN CAUSED MY ALIGNMENT TO GO BAD AND MULTIPLE FLATS TIRES. WITH THE LAST FLAT TIRE, MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL, JUST RANDOMLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON TO BE ABLE TO SCREEN THE VEHICLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ON THE POWER STEERING.
