2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING BRAKE LIKES STAY ON. WHEN BRAKING, BRAKE LIGHT GO OFF. THEY DO OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SUPPOSE TO DO. GM HAS ISSUED A BULLITIN.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE CAR. THEY STAY ON AS YOUR GOING DOWN THE ROAD AS IF YOUR RIDING YOUR BRAKES SO THEN YOUR CRUISE CONTROL WONT ENGAGE. THE TRACTION N ESCAPE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. MY DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON ONE MINUTE THEN GO BACK OUT.

SERVICE ESC KEEPS COMING ON AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY. ALSO DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS BLOWING. BELIEVE THERE WAS A RECALL BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE STEERING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SHORTLY UNTIL THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

THREE WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I RECEIVED A MESSAGE "CHECK POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC". I FINALLY CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. I DROVE A FEW MORE MINUTES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW STEERING COLUMN. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE OR HAVE IT FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING FUNCTION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,027. *TT

THE POWER STEERING MODE/ LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF OR ALLOW STEERING. IT'S NOT DRIVABLE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BEFORE IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT IT WOULD LOSE STEERING GOING UP HIGHWAY AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND SPEEDS, BUT ONCE U CUT OFF IGNITION AND RESTART IT WOULD BE OK FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES.

WHETHER IT'S MOVING OR STANDING STILL THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE LIKE CRAZY AND USUALLY THE 'POWER STEERING' LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON (SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES).

I RECIEVED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I DROVE A FEW BLOCKS AND COULD NOT LONGER CONTROL MY STEERING - THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD REPORTED BY MANY, MANY G5, G6 AND G8 OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010 IN PARTICULAR. WHY CERTAIN MODELS/YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND NOT ALL OF THEM IS BEYOND ME. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO GET BACK TO MY HOME AND GET THE CAR PARKED SAFELY.

AS I WAS DRIVING TODAY WITH NO PRIOR DASH WARNING MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AT A INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE CAR AND MADE IT HOME BUT IT DID LOCK UP AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS WITH NO WARNING. I DID SEE THAT THIS WAS RECALLED ON MODELS EARLIER THAN 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME ON A CITY STREE COMING TO A INTERSECTION.
