2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST ASSEMBLY AND MODULE LOCKED UP NEARLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I CAN'T DRIVE NOW UNTIL IT'S BEEN CORRECTED BY PONTIAC. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND JUST MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT. [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 BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASNT USING THE BRAKES AND WENT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING USED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, VERY FRUSTRATING, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT! I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T MADE AT A PARTICULAR LOCATION, IT DIDN'T FALL UNDER A RECALL THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTED HIS VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING DID NOT ACTIVATE. HE HAD TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIME BEFORE THE POWER STEERING ACTIVATED. AFTER THE POWER STEERING WAS ACTIVATED THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,453.

STARTED NOTICING A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER A WHILE THE SMELL BECAME STRONGER AND WE COULD SMELL IT A DAY AFTER WE HAD EVEN DRIVEN THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND IT IS ACTUALLY LEAKING GASOLINE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS CAR RELIGIOUSLY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND OTHER YEAR MODELS. ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH GM THE 2006 G6 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALL 09V-419 WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OCCURS JUST FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR AN HOUR AND WENT OUT. IT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR A FEW DAYS, AND CONTINUED TO BE INTERMITTENT. NOW THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" MASSAGE IS BEING DISPLAYED. THE CARS LISTED IN THIS RECALL ARE 2006 PONTIAC G6 64100131 - 64146959 ( THAT'S THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN). OUR CAR IS IN THE 64200000'S. I BE-LEAVE THIS CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHERS DUE TO THE FACT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THIS RECALL NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. ALSO NO NOTICES WERE SENT TO US ON ANY OF THE RECALLS. GM IS REALLY LACKING IN CUSTOMER SAFETY AND CARE. WE ARE TAKING IT IN TO A GM DEALER TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SHE NEEDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V417000 (AIR BAGS ). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OTHER G6 2206 BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED. ALSO I AM HAVING AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FORCE AND HOPE THAT IS COMES OUT OF PARK. AGAIN G6 2006 WAS RECALLED AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO THOSE VIN NUMBERS. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THAT SAFETY AND FAULTY PIECES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL THAT SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE WERE COVERED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO BESIDES CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY TO HAVE THESE ITEMS FIXED UNDER THE RECALLS THAT WERE ISSUED FOR G6 2006 PONTIACS. THANK YOU *TR

AS MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING..TROUBLE GETTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR FROM PARK,HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE LIGHTS WORK IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION AND 3RD BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKES..HELP PLEASE..THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY AND MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH..MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED ON THE GM RECALL. MY VIN NUMBER WAS ABOUT 1,000 CARS AFTER THE RECALL.I AM GOING TO A GM DEALER AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD A NEW BRAKE PEDAL COMES WITH THE BRAKE SENSOR..I DO NOT WANT TO THROW A TON OF MONEY NOT KNOWING THE EXACT PROBLEM. *TR
