2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I OWN A USED PONTIAC G6 40THOUSAND MILES,. DURING HEAVY DOWN POURS POWER STEERING GOES, BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON, THEN WITHIN A MINUTE OR 2 THE STEERING KICKS BACK IN. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. I FEE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE WARRANTY FOR ANOTHER 8 MONTHS. ANY SUGGESTIONS. I THINK IT MAY BE THE POWER STEERING BELT SLIPPING! SINCE I AM A WOMAN THEY DISMISS MY COMPLAINT! *TR

STARTED SEPT 2010 THE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE CAR WOULD HESITATE TO GO. ALMOST LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. NOW IN JUNE 2011 IT IS STILL DOING IT. BUT NOW WHEN IT FINALLY STARTS TO GO SOMETIMES THE TIRES PEEL OFF AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON. IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIME PER DAY IF I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A LOT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN SEPT 2010 AND WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON. NOW 10 MONTHS LATER JUNE 2011. STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AND ONE AGAIN WAS TOLD NO ENGINE LIGHT ON. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS CAR IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO DELAY ACCELERATION. WHICH COULD CAUSE ME GETTING HIT. *TR

CAR MAKES A POPPING OR CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. IT ALSO LOOSES POWER STEERING SUDDENLY. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP BUT EXPENSES WOULD COME OUT OF POCKET AND CAN'T AFFORD IT. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKES THEY TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALONGSIDE THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BEING DISPLAYED. WHEN THIS OCCURS MY BRAKES ARE NOT AS RESPONSIVE, WHICH CAUSED ME TO BE INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES, AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS SO FAR ON THIS ISSUE. IT STILL ISN'T FIXED, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON. WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL I GET REAR ENDED. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS, I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR UPDATED 01/31/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, STATING IT HAD TURNED OFF. THE CONSUMER STATED HE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT FIRST, BUT THEN HE NOTICED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED HARD TO THE FLOOR A EVEN RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES DIDN'T RESPOND AS THEY SHOULD; BASICALLY THE BRAKES WERE NOT EFFECTIVE WHEN HAVING TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, AS HE WAS DRIVING, BUT WOULD GO OUT, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. ALSO, WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A CODE OF C0277 BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DEFECTIVE. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, AFTER THE REPAIR, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, WHICH THEN RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED SUDDENLY AND HE STATED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND HE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, TO SEE WHY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND RECALIBRATED THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. THEY ALSO FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT WITHIN THE CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED IT. AFTER HE LEFT THE REPAIR SHOP, ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE REPAIR
