PONTIAC Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY CARE AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED AT MT TEMP AND IT WAS FINE. THE SMOKE STAR6COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASH. I TURNED CAR OFF THEN FLAMES STARTED BURNING THROUGH DASH AND UNDER THE HOOD. THIS TOOK PLACE IN MY DRIVEWAY

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS MOTHER WHO OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS MOTHER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE FAILURE, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, THE DRIVER LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BUT WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING) AND THE EXPANDED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

I STARTED MY CAR TO LEAVE AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A MESSAGE SHOWED POWER STEERING ON THE RADIO SCREEN AN DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRIGGERED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTERS IT AGAIN, POWER STEERING WAS FINE. MOVED ABOUT 10 FEET IN REVERSE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOE IT DOESNT WANT TO TURN AT ALL. MY CAR IS A 2006 G6 V6 AND I HAVE HAD IT SCANNED AND NOTHING SHOWS UP?

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CEASES UP. WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED THE STEERING IS NORMAL AGAIN FOR AWHILE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE AND ALSO APPEARS THAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I PUT THE LAST DATE IT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 177,000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE NOW.

YESTERDAY WHEN MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY PONTIAC G6 THE WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK AND STIFFEN UP HE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR UNTI HE CUT THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON , THE NEXT DAY WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE 60 MIN WITH OUT ISSUES UNTIL THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE POP UP ONTO THE RADIO AND THE WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCK UP AGAIN. EVERY TIME WE SLOWED DOWN THE WHEEL BEGAN TO STIFFEN UP UNTIL WE STARTED ACCELERATED AND THEN THE WHEEL BEGAN TO LOOSEN UP AGAIN. WE WERE CURRENTLY ON THE STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED WE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF IT LOCKING UP AGAIN.

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE THE DISPLAY READ NO ESC AND THEN POWER STEERING FLAHED ACROSS THE DIC MESSAGE DISPLAY. TURNING IS VERY DIFFICULT AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING VEHICLE CAUESL O ISSUES TO GO OFF BUT WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE THE ESC LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND POWER STEERING FLASHES MAKING IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE. PRIOR YEARS HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENING,
