2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING ON MY MENU DISPLAY AND I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT GM HAS NOT PUT A RECALL ON THEM. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED LAST YEAR FROM A DEALERSHIP AND IT CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. I AM AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE OR BE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER STEERING ABILITIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE FAILURE BUT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE LIMIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH OCCURRED AT LEAST 5 TIMES WHILE IN REVERSE. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS IN DRIVE WHILE ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY. WITH EACH OCCURRENCE THERE WAS A WARNING CHIME AND "POWER STEERING" WAS ON THE RADIO DISPLAY. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WOULD RECOVER. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SUMMER OF 2009. WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS WARMER THAN 65 DEGREES, THE POWER STEERING FAILS REPEATEDLY. EVERY TIME WE'VE TRIED BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT OUR NEAREST PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IN UNION, NJ WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND EVERY REPAIR WOULD JUST RESULT IN A RETURN FOR THE SAME ISSUE EVERY 6 MONTHS. *JS

2006 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH FUEL ASSEMBLY *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SHE COULD SMELL GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. AN INSPECTION REVEALED, THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AS IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP PORTION OF THE ASSEMBLY ONTO THE MUFFLER. *JB

POWER STEERING LOCKED UP. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE MOTOR AND THEY WOULD FIX FOR FREE THEN CALLED BACK 2 DAYS LATER TO SAY THAT IT WASN'T THAT MOTOR, IT WAS THE MODULE. NOW WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFAULT. *TR

POWER STEERING STOP WORKING, HAD IT REPLACE BY A GMC DEALER. AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WOULD WORK BY RESETTING IT. IN FEB. OF 2009 STARTED FAILING AGAIN FOR HOURS AT A TIME SOMETIMES A DAY OR TWO. IT WAS REPLACE AFTER AN ACCIDENT TO CAR. IT CONTINUED TO GO IN AND OUT AT CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME. NOW MARCH OF 2012 IT IS COMPLETELY OUT. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS CHANGE THE WHOLE UNIT OUT. I FEEL TO BELIEVE THAT EITHER THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE OR THE DEALERS ARE OUT TO CASH IN. CAN SOMEBODY CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS MATTER. I THINK THE ONLY REASON THIS HASN'T BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE ENOUGH LIVES WERE NOT LOST. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING INTO WORK, MY CAR DINGED THREE TIMES, THEN POWER STEERING WAS FLASHED ON MY RADIO AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP! UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR, I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THE ESTIMATED REPAIRS WOULD COST $900! THIS IS A HORRIBLE CAR, AS THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE FEW PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, SOMETHING IN THE STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING IT CLANK, AND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL BACK IT WILL CLANK AGAIN. IF I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND HAVE MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN I APPLY THE GAS, THE WHEEL WILL PULL ITSELF ABOUT HALF A TURN TO THE LEFT AND AS I PICK UP SPEED IT WILL RECENTER ITSELF. WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL THERE IS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE. THE STRUTS HAVE GONE BAD, WHICH IS $450 MORE, AND THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FRONT LEFT TIRE SOMEWHERE (NOT THE TIRE ITSELF, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS LEAKING OIL SOMEWHERE). THIS IS MY FIRST GM CAR, AND IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE MY LAST. *JS

I WAS MAKING A TURN WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN AND ON MY DISPLAY PANEL POWER STEERING DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN. EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL THE MESSAGE COMES ON THE DISPLAY PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES TIGHT MAKING IT VERY HARD FOR ME TO MAKE ANY TURNS. *TR

WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND REALIZED I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. IT TOOK ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD TO BE ABLE TO GET MY CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO PARK IT. THERE ARE A LOT OF OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I'M SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. HELP US GET A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR
