PONTIAC Complaints

UPON TURNING MY CAR ON EARLIER TODAY I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL IS HARDLY MOVING AND A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE IS BEING DISPLAYED ON MY RADIO. THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A LOT OF MILES. I READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH PONTIAC G6 STEERING WHEEL SO I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER CHECKING, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL CONCERNING PROBLEM. RECALL DATE 3/31/14 WITH THE 2005-2009 PONTIAC G6. I CONTACTED THE GM REPRESENTATIVE AT THE 1800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL DOESN'T PERTAIN TO THE PARTICULAR 09 G6 THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.

THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM HAS FAILED SO THAT THE POWER STEERING IS SPONTAIASLY DISABLED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS CONCERNING THIS AND THE RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT. RECALL # 14V153000. RECALL DATE IS 3/21/2014. ANOTHER RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IS RECALL #N140115, BULLETIN #14119 (TO PROVIDE EPS MOTOR FOR "THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE". I HAVE CALLED THE TOLL FREE NUMBER AND SPOKE WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE UNIT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I RECENTLY TOOK MY VIBE IN FOR AN AIR BAG RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE PASSAGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE BUT DID NOTHING WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE. I'VE HAD AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I THOUGHT THIS WOULD ALSO BE FIXED. THEY INFORMED ME IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THE PASSAGER SIDE AIR BAGS ARE FAULTY CAN CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM OR EVEN DEATH WHY WOULD THE DRIVERSIDE AIR BAG BE ANY DIFFERENT. I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHY IT WASN'T OR AT LEAST THE WARNING LIGHT FIXED.

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT APPLICATION OF BRAKE PEDAL AND DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. RECALL 13036 HAS BEEN APPLIED...SAME PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE RESURFACED. CAN HAPPEN IN MOTION OR STATIONARY; ANY ROAD/DRIVING CONDITIONS.

POWER STEERING DISENGAGES ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ONLY WAY TO REENGAGE IT IS TO TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT REENGAGES BUT OCCASIONALLY IT STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE. IF I ALSO LIGHTLY PULL ON THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE AND SHAKE WHILE STOPPED AND DRIVING. MY POSITION SWITCH ON THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE TO NOT START EVERY SO OFTEN AS WELL. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SOMETIMES TO RESTART MY CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY POWER STEERING WARNING SHOWED ON MY RADIO DISPLAY THEN WITHIN 30 SECONDS MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC.G6

POWER STEERING ALERT ON RADIO SCREEN WHEN CAR IS NOT IN MOTION AND STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND THE ALERT WILL GO OFF AND THE STEERING IS BACK TO NORMAL. ONCE I START DRIVING I GET THE ALERT AGAIN AND MY STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SOME TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT SOME MAKES AND MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALL. WHEN I GO ON GM WEBSITE. ITS STATES MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS ON IT. BUT MY CAR IS DOING EVERYTHING THATS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE.

MY EPS KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER MY CAR. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THE RECALLS BUT, CAN NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEMS. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I FEELS IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT GM OFFER TO RECALL BUT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FOR MY CAR. MY CAR WAS CLEARLY EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. IT'S A SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALMOST KILLED MY SELF MY SON AND MY UNBORN CHILD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASTOR AND DECIDE TO GO OUT THE FIRST TIME AND CAUSED ME TO GO OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BEING PREGNANT WITH HIGH RISK PREGNANCY MADE STEERING MY CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR OR POWER STEERING WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT IS THE WORST THING GM EVER DID. IT'S PROBABLY CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED EVEN. AND THEY WON'T COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THERE RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM
