2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I WAS ATTENDING MY AUNTS FUNERAL IN HACKENSACK, NJ. I RESIDE IN MARYLAND, SO ITS ABOUT A 5 HOUR DRIVE FOR ME. HALF WAY THERE, MY SISTER CALLED ME AND ASKED WHY WAS I RIDING MY BRAKES. I TOLD HER, I WAS NOT RIDING MY BREAKS. SHE INFORMS ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS FLASH ALL THE TIME. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HER. COMING HOME FROM THE FUNERAL, WE WITNESSED THE SAME THING. THEN SEVERAL DAYS LATER, I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO SIT AT FOODLION FOR ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES, BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN GEAR. I CALLED GM 800-620-7668 AND TRIED TO ISSUE A COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT I HAPPEN TO SEE THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. MY ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING, AGAIN I CALLED GM AND I WAS BRUSHED OFF. I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM AND NOT MY BANK ACCOUNT. *TR

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILS TO WORK. UNBELIEVABLY DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROL CAR. MECHANICAL CLICKING SOUND HAS BEEN HEARD SINCE CAR HAD 14000 MILES. DEALER INSISTS THIS IS NORMAL. *TR

THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BROUGHT IT, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO INTO A LEFT TURN ON TO THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO A SOFTBALL GAME, WAS GOING 65 ON THE FAST LANE, AND ALL OF SUDDEN I READ POWER STEERING ON THE RADIO, THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT THE GAS DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND MY WHEEL WAS TENSED, THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE LEFT SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE. *TR
