2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY HOUSING EDITION, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I NOTICED THAT MY RADIO SAID POWER STEERING. I ALMOST RAN INTO OUR GATE AND I'VE ALSO NOTICED THERE IS NOWHERE TO PUT THE POWER STEERING FLUID. *TT

DRIVING ONE DAY AND HEAR THUMPING, ENDS UP THAT 2 LUG NUTS ARE MISSING ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE, BUY 2 LUG NUTS AND PUT THEM ON PROBLEM FIXED RIGHT? WRONG!!!!!! NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER, (HOW MANY PEOPLE CHECK THEIR LUG NUTS EVERYDAY, NO ONE BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO.) THERE ARE 3 LUG NUTS MISSING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR 1 ON THE BACK TIRE AND NOW 2 BROKEN LUG NUT SCREWS ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE???? I KNOW, HOW DO THE SCREWS THAT THE LUG NUTS GO ONTO BRAKE?? I'LL TELL YOU WHY, BECAUSE THE CAR IS ALWAYS SHAKING, HIT A BUMP AND THE WHOLE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO BRAKE. INSTEAD OF "FEELING SO FLY IN MY G-6" THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE A SONG CALLED "BRAKING DOWN IN MY G-6" I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT SONG CAUSE ITS TRUE!!!!!!!!! WITH THE RECALL ON THE STEERING, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH THE SHAKING OF THE CAR AS WELL AND I DON'T THINK ITS THE STEERING BUT MORE LIKE THE SUSPENSION MAYBE... *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 79,328.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. LIGHTS OF THE CAR FLICKERED AND THEN THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP. I COULD BARELY MOVE THE WHEEL EVEN AFTER PULLING WITH MY WHOLE BODY. I AM AN ABLE BODIED 25 YEAR OLD MALE AND FOUND IT RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS THAT I COULD BARELY TURN THE CAR GOING 55 MPH WHILE USING ALL MY STRENGTH. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AFTER ALMOST EXHAUSTION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. PER A "SPECIAL POLICY #10183" THEY CHANGED A FEW SENSORS AND THAT WAS IT. THEN ON 1/20/12 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE AT 65 MPH. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. I HAD TO GO PICK HER UP AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK WITH ITS MALFUNCTIONING STEERING. AGAIN SAME PROBLEM, STEERING WHEEL BECOMES ALMOST IMMOVABLE. THESE ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. GM HAS BUILT A VERY FAULTY PRODUCT THAT WILL KILL SOMEONE...ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. THIS STEERING WHEEL IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,900.

IF I DRIVE MY AUTOMOBILE AND I HAVE A PASSENGER IN IT AND THE AIRBAG WORKS FINE. IF I DROP THEM OFF THE AIRBAG STILL SENSE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE STILL SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF I GO PICK SOMEONE UP THE AIRBAG WILL NOT SENSE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE THERE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 4/11 I DID NOT BUY IT NEW. IF I EVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG NEVER SENSE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AFRAID IT WILL NOT PROPERLY. *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH LIGHT CONCLUDED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING SO I PULLED BACK IN THE DRIVE WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY STEERING. I AM JUST GLAD I WAS AT HOME OR EVEN WORSE, I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN. *TR

ON JANUARY 9, 2012 AFTER WORK I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ON AND I HAVE A MESSAGE TO HAVE THE AIRBAG SERVICED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WENT ONLINE TO DO RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLES YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, PONTIAC G6 2006. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE ID NUMBER ON RECORD. THE DEALER CHARGES OVER $100 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS SOMETHING I CAN NOT AFFORD TO DO. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE MANUAL AND ALL RESEARCH INDICATES FAULTY AIRBAGS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN 10 YEARS OLD AND HAS ISSUES THAT ARE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WHAT IS THE PLAN TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED ON A FAULTY AIRBAG? *TR
