2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING LOCKED UP. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC GOING 60-70 MPH. MY CHILDREN WERE WITH ME AND I COULD NOT STEER MY G6 OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD CARS AND SEMI'S ABOUT HIT ME. TRUST ME, WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NO RECALLS YET, IF IT IS TO HAPPEN AND I GET HURT I WILL SUE GM! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OVER THE SAME CRAP GOING ON WITH THESE CARS! YOU NEED TO FIX GM! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO GET TO SCHOOL AND Y POWER STEERING WENT OUT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR AND I ALMOST CRASHED TO ANOTHER CAR. I STOPPED THE CAR TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THEN I COULD CONTROL THE POWER STEERING. IS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS CAR. *TR

THE STEERING BECOMES HARD AS A ROCK AND I CANT TURN THE WHEEL BECAUSE IT IS SO HEAVY. WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR SHIFTS TO THE LEFT, AND I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING, ON ALL THE TIME. TURN OFF WHEN BRAKING. WILL NOT SHIFT TO DRIVE WITHOUT FLOORING THE BRAKES. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WILL NOT WORK. *TR

SEEING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE . WAS THIS ISOLATED OR WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN IS THERE A RECALL FROM GM? *TR

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF ROAD WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH EXTREME FORCE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT ON MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES ADAY. IT HAS GONE OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING AS FAST AS 40MPH. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHEN IT GOES OUT I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF BEFORE THE POWER STEERING WILL START WORKING AGAIN. ONCE IT COMES BACK ON THE STEERING DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT. WHEN I TRY TO STEER TO THE RIGHT IT IS STIFF WHEN I STEER TO THE RIGHT IT IS VERY LOOSE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 4 YRS. LOVED IT UNTIL I GOT AFRAID TO DRIVE IT! ALSO, WHAT DUMMY CAME UP WITH HAVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STOP RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF THE DRIVER? IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW WHEN IT IS RAINING.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CROWDED INTERSTATE, HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT TURN TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT STEER SO I HAD TO STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND LUCKILY THE STEERING CAME BACK. I WAS PAST BY SEMI TRUCKS HONKING AND ONE SLAMMING ON HIS BRAKES BEHIND ME TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. ONCE I DROVE THE CAR HOME I TOLD MY DAD WHAT HAPPENED AND HE CHECKED THE CAR. HE REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD ELECTRIC STEERING. HE DECIDED TO LET THE DEALER LOOK AT IT. THEY OFFERED NO EXPLANATION BUT RATHER A REPAIR COST OF $1,200.00. HE THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR CASES BY JUST GOOGLING "PONTIAC G6 STEERING PROBLEMS". THIS IS WHEN HE DECIDED THAT I NEEDED TO FILE A PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLAINT. *KB

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING CAME UP ON THE RADIO SCREEN AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD I HAD TO PULL OVER WASN'T ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. *KB
