2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CAR WILL CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING AND WOULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY POWER STEERING WARNING SHOWED ON MY RADIO DISPLAY THEN WITHIN 30 SECONDS MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC.G6

THE ROAD WAS WET HAD NO TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP I WAS GOING AROUND 60MPH ON A EXPRESSWAYSLIDING AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED.I FEEL THE CAR IS TO UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT'S SITTING AT MB GARAGE IN HUNTLEY IL. ON LINE THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR HAS LOCKED UP TWICE IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME I HAD JUST MADE A RIGHT TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY CITY STREET AND WAS PROBABLY GOING BETWEEN 25-30MPH WHEN A MESSAGE ON MY DASH APPEARED FOR "POWER STEERING" AND MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP. AFTER FINALLY MANAGING TO SAFELY PULL OVER I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF TO CALL FOR HELP. WITHIN 5 MINS OF THEIR ARRIVAL, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. TWO WEEKS LATER, WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT OUT OF PARKING LOT ONTO THE SAME BUSY CITY STREET, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AGAIN JUST AS I WAS PULLING OUT. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME AND CARS ON THE ROAD QUICKLY APPROACHING. I WAS A SITTING DUCK WITH MY FRONT BUMPER HALF WAY INTO THE STREET WITH NOWHERE TO GO AND ZERO STEERING POWER TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT WAS TERRIFYING! LUCKILY, WITH HELP OF STRANGERS WE WERE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL THROUGH GM (N140116) THAT WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2014 TO CORRECT SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. CLEARLY THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL DRIVERS. THIS ONGOING PROBLEM HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN REPORTED AS A SAFETY ISSUE BY VEHICLE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THE SO-CALLED RECALL WAS COMPLETED. THE REPAIRS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS AND HAVE REFUSED TO DO SO. MY PAPERWORK FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR SAYS THERE IS NO EXPIRATION DATE SO WHY WILL THEY NOT HONOR THIS, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER MOTHER WAS DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER PARKED THE VEHICLE AT A NEARBY PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO HER DESTINATION. THE CONTACT STATED A WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALBRIGHT BUICK GMC CADILLAC LOCATED AT 2008 N. BELT HWY, ST JOSEPH, MO 64506, (816) 232-4413, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 14772 WAS COMPLETED IN OCTOBER 2014. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 182,900.

THIS 2006 G6 BELONGS TO MY WIFE AND ACCORDING TO GM THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD RECALL 14772 AS WELL AS 14116 AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS FROM INTERSTATES TO COUNTRY ROADS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST SHE IS DRIVING, IF SHE IS TURNING, OR WHAT THE WEATHER IS. SHE HAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION, REINSTALL KEY AND FINALLY RESTART VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY THE STEERING WILL WORK AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNSAFE AND I CAN NOT LET HER CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS WE HAVE A YOUNG DAUGHTER THAT FREQUENTLY RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE, SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THE RECALLS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?

THE SMALL PLASTIC PROTRUSIONS USED TO ATTACH FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP FAILED, 2 OUT OF 3 BROKE, RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAYING ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK.

A FRONT INTERIOR WELD ON THE CROSS MEMBER FAILED, RESULTING IN A SEVERE SLOPE TO THE RIGHT AS WELL AS A NOTICEABLE CLUNK WHEN TURNING.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME .

MY POWER STEERING WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING I HAVE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME TYPE OF PONTIAC AS MINE AND SAME YEAR BUT MINE WAS NOT RECALLED IT HAPPENS WHENEVER I TURN
