PONTIAC Complaints

MAKING LOUD NOSIES WHEN STEERING. FRONT END VERY WOBBLILY FEELING AS THOUGHT THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR FEEL LIKE ITS GOING TO DETACH FROM THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR HIT ABOUT 50 MPH IT WOULD SHAKE REAL BAD. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE OVERALL

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME . THE SENSORS WAS A ISSUE AND MY TIRES WAS ALWAYS BALD . I HAD TO BUY NEW TIRES EVERY WEEK IN THE FRONT. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR . MY TIRE POPPED OFF WHILE IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWED A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, WHEN HE STARTED TO DEPRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE JERKED TO TURN LEFT AND CRASH INTO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 202,000.

MY CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SO IT SHOWS THE AIRBAG AS BEING "OFF" BECAUSE THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS BAD

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. I TURNED MY CAR OFF WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT SAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN I GOT READY TO LEAVE AND STARTED TO DRIVE THE STEERING HAD RETURNED. A CHIN WENT OFF AND THE WORDS PI WERE STEERING APPEARED WHEN IT HAD GONE OUT.

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. SOMETIMES WHILE BRAKING, A WEIRD HYDRAULIC SOUND IS HEARD AND THE BRAKES DONT WANT TO STOP THE CAR. THE PEDAL WONT GO DOWN FURTHER UNLESS SOMETIMES YOU FORCE IT AND LOCK UP THE TIRES AND BRAKES. NO CODES ARE SHOWING FOR THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL. BEEN HAPPENING SPORADICALLY FOR A YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING, LOSE ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL. WILL GET CHATTER AS WELL AS LOUD BANG ON OCCASION. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND RECENTLY WHILE MY 18 YR OLD SON (HIS CAR) WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING OFF AN EXIT GOING 45 MPH AND THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND AVOID OTHER CARS. CAR HAS SAT SINCE WAITING FOR A MECHANIC TOO LOOK AT IT, WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TOWED. VERY DANGEROUS AND LOOKS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON, NOT PART OF RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2008. CAR HAS APPROX 107K MILES ON IT. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THEM. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN STEERING WHCIH THEY HAVE OWNED UP TO FOR OTHER YEARS..

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 180K MILES. CAR WILL NOT SHIFT ON IT OWN I HAVE TO FORCE CAR INTO GEAR BY SPEEDING UP HEARING TRANSMISSION WHINE AND THEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL SO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GEARS. THIS IS ON ALL ROAD CONDITIONS. SO MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE WHY HAS GM NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS MATTER.
