2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHEN YOUR FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THIS CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL SO I HAD IT FIXED AT A GM DEALER TWICE. IT NOW AS OF 6/21/13 HAS THE SAME CONDITION AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL ILLUMINATED WHEN IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE CONTACT ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHEN SHE WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE SWITCH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

FIRST NOTICED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE OR WOULD SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE USING. REALIZED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. ONCE I GOT THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF WOULD NOT LIGHT UP WHEN PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. FIRST NOTICED THIS LAST SUMMER BUT WAS NOT CONSISTENT. STARTED TO ACT UP AGAIN IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. *TR

I WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT SO I DRIVE PRIMARILY AT NIGHT WHEN IT'S DARK. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL LIGHT UP WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT LIGHT UP. AT THE SAME TIME ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND WHEN I WOULD PUT MY CAR IN PARK IT WOULD SOMETIMES BE STUCK AND WOULDN'T COME OUT OF PARK. *TR

THE MILEAGE IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS BUT THIS ALL STARTED IN THE FALL OF 2011. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING IN REVERSE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED MY LIGHTS GO OFF AND WHEN I'M NOT PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS ARE ON. THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE BY PUTTING THE LUBRICANT ON THE BRAKE MODULE. IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS BY THEN MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP TO DO THE SERVICE. MY DAD REPLACED THE WHOLE MODULE AND AGAIN IT WORKED FINE FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN MY DAD PUT LUBRICANT ON IT AGAIN, WORKED FINE UP TILL THIS PAST MAY. MY DAD IS GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IN THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF BEING REAR ENDED DUE THE LIGHTS NO WORKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE BRAKE LAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THE LAMPS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK, EXTREME FORCE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND A WIRING HARNESS FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS REPLACED. THE BULBS WERE ALSO REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MY CAR STARTED STRUGGLING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS. IT FELT LIKE MY POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. AND AFTER THE TURN, AS I WAS BRINGING MY WHEEL BACK AROUND, THERE WAS AN AWFUL CLUNKING SOUND. IT COST ME $1500 TO FIX. I NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER PONTIAC G6'S WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT MY 2006 PONTIAC G6, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HEARD COUNTLESS REPORTS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2006 PONTIAC G6. *TR

WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME FROM A FAMILY VISIT. ABOUT 30 MILES OUT, TWO DEER RAN RIGHT INTO OF, THERE WAS NO WAY TO DODGE THEM. UPON IMPACT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND THE ENGINE WAS PUSHED BACK. SURPRISINGLY NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WORKED OR WAS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. THERE WAS A GREAT FORCE FELT DUE TO IMPACT, BUT NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE OFFICER WHO RESPONDED TO THE SCENE WAS SURPRISED TO SEE SO MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE, BUT NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. HE EVEN STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS MUST BE FAULTY. *TR

TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT ENTER OVERDRIVE- BRAKES FEEL UNRESPONSIVE AND IF RESPONSIVE ONLY SLIGHTLY, AND CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE WITH THE TRANSMISSION STUCK. CAR WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKE IS PULLED, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE. STEERING WHEEL WILL BECOME LOCKED AS WELL. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON, IT WILL EVENTUALLY UNLOCK THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL ALLOW TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK. VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC. *TR
