PONTIAC Complaints

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DASH SAYS SERVICE ESC AND THEN FLASHES POWER STEERING AND THEN THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPS WORKING AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT AND THIS HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,888.

EVERY TIME I'M TURNING SLIGHTLY RIGHT MY POWER STEERING GOES OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREETS. IF I TURN OFF CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN. I HAD THE COMPUTER RESET AND AFTER ONE DAY IT FAILED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S JUST THE TORQUE SENSOR, COMPUTER OR STEERING COLUMN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNDRIVEABLE.

I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING WILL COME ACROSS THE RADIO AND IT'S HARD TO STEER HOWEVER IF I PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT GOES AWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. MY PASSENGER AIR BAG DOESN'T WORK. MY TRACTION CONTROL, ESC, AND ABS LIGHT COME ON. MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF WONT CLOSE. ALL OF THESE ARE ON THE RECALL LIST BUT APPARENTLY EVERY CAR OTHER THAN MINE IS BAD. WHEN I DRIVE THE ESC LIGHT WILL COME ON AND PULL ME TO THE NEXT LANE. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY PASSENGERS. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR WENT INTO THE OTHER LANE AND I ALMOST HIT A SEMI WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE CAR MAKES A LOUD WHISTLE NOISE WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS TO THE LEFT. THE CAR MAKES LOUD NOISES IN THE FRONT END LIKE THE CAR IS GONNA FALL APART. REPLACED THE FRONT END $1000.00 WORTH OF WORK AND STILL MAKING THE NOISE. ATE MY BRAND NEW TIRES UP.

STERRING WHEEL IS SHAKING BADLY AND LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING, ON THE HIGH AND STREET WHILE IN MOTION.

THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I STARTED IT TO GO TO LEAVE AND I COULD NOT REVERSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S CALLED BUT THERE WAS LIKE SOME KIND OF CLIP THAT SOMEBODY HAD TO PIECE TOGETHER FOR ME JUST SO IT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE DRIVABLE ALSO THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CUT FLASHING ON THE RADIO AND I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY POWER STEERING FLUID AND I FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS THAT MOTOR WELL WHENEVER I GO IN REVERSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS LIKE ON BUT IT'S NOT AND WHENEVER I'M DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND IT CLICKS IF I TURN IT TOO FAR

JUST OUT OF NOWHERE ONE DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING I MADE A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND SUDDENLY WHEN I RESUMED DRIVING THE LIGHT INDICATING 'POWER STREERING' CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. NOW THE POWER STEERING WORKS INTERMITTENTLY BUT ONLY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON AND ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME. I FEEL LIKE IT'S GETTING WORSE THE LONGER THE PROBLEM CONSISTS .

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING UNIT STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN.
