MY PONTIAC G6 WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNS AND ALWAYS WELL MAINTAINED TO DATE. I PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN DRIVE IT WOULD ONLY REV. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN TRIP TRONIC SHIFT AND MAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. IT WAS SLIPPING ALSO IN TRIP TRONIC IN FIRST AND SECOND. THE REPAIR PLACES SAID THAT IT WAS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN WELL A REBUILT ONE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 6 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AT GM HEADQUARTERS AND THEY JUST DON'T CARE AND ACT LIKE ITS MY FAULT THERE BANKRUPT PONTIAC COMPANY PRODUCED UNWORTHY RELIABLE CARS. AND DIXIE GM WHERE I TOOK IT TO GET FIXED WANTS TO RIP ME OFF AND CHARGED ME DOUBLE OF WHAT OTHER TRANSMISSION PLACES IN THE AREA QUOTED ME. I TOOK IT THERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE HONEST AND GIVE UPFRONT ANSWER AND NOT JACK ME AROUND BECAUSE IM A YOUNG WOMEN. ITS NOT AS IF I WENT TO MCDONALDS AND ASKED FOR A STEAK. COME ON GM I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE BETTER THAN THIS!! *TR

THE PONTIAC G6 HAS A FAULTY POWER STEERING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE SHOULD BE A REINVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. WHILE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT LOW RATES OF SPEED IT WILL RANDOMLY TAKE OFF TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. MINE TOOK ME OFF THE ROAD AND INTO THE MEDIAN. ALSO, IT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE AND I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE PILON BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SNATCHED OUT OF MY HANDS WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THIS IS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS CONTRARY TO THE PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR
