2005 Pontiac G6 4-DR Early Release

Steering wheel rattle, steering moving back & forth, locks on startup and and audible chime is heard. I believe it has something to do with the original recall repair on the steering. Feels unsafe.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED MY TURN WAS VERY EASY TO THE LEFT BUT HARD TO TURN TO THE RIGHT. A FEW MILES LATER DOWN THE ROAD I COULD BARELY MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL AND THEN THE MESSAGE POWER STEERING POPPED UP ON MY INFORMATION CENTER AS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO GO OVER A CURB AND INTO A PARKING LOT BECAUSE OF THE MISHAP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND MY STEERING WAS OKAY FOR A WHILE BUT THEN IT WOULD LOCK UP LATER AGAIN. I DID THIS PROCESS TWICE PAYING ATTENTION TO STEERING TO MAKE IT HOME SINCE I WAS ONLY A MILE AND A HALF AWAY.

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RANDY MARION BUICK GMC (13701 STATESVILLE RD HUNTERSVILLE, NC 28078) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY FAILURE. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT WOULD PROVIDE REPAIR FOR OPEN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

MY CAR BE DRIVING FINE THEN I HEAR A DINGY SONG LIKE DOORS OPEN AND SHORTLY AFTER MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR. I TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT AMD MOST TIME THE STEERING LOOSENS UP AMD SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD FOR A COUPLE BLOCKS AND SOMETIMES IT LOCKS UP IMMEDIATELY. IT'S THE EPS THAT KEEPS GOING OFF. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS HAPPENS ANYTIME ALMOST GOT REAREND BECAUSE OF IT.

MY PONTIAC HAS HAD A LEAK FOR 6 YRS BASICALLY SINCE I HAD IT AND BEFORE THAT. I DIDN'T THINK NOTHING OF THIS BUT AFTER A WHILE OF THE SUNROOF LEAK IT CAUSES CORROSION ON THE ELECTRICAL TERMINALS IN THE WIRE HARNESS INSIDE THE DASH ON DRIVER DOOR SIDE. THIS CORROSION CAUSE YOUR CAR TO THROW PCM/TAC CODES : P0601,P0606,O0107. CAUSES CAR TO COMPLETE STALL OUT AND GO INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THERE IS A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO POSTED ON SITES TRYING TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS NHTSA TO REPORT RECALLS.

CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND BLINKING. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY, WAITED FOR A WHILE, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENSEN MOTORS INC (2525 S BROADWAY ST, NEW ULM, MN 56073) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REJECTED TO BE SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND ATTEMPTING TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN, THE BUTTONS FOR THE WINDOWS WERE DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE WINDOWS FAILED TO RESPOND. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING, THE WINDOWS INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED DOWN AND ROLLED BACK UP. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE WINDOW FUSE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000.

MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING DANGEROUSLY STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT DOES SO AT RANDOM AND WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS WITH MY HUSBAND, DRIVING ON I-5 AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHEN THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY GOES OFF, WE ALMOST DIED IN THAT HIGHWAY AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY USE THE WHEEL DUE TO THE HIGH ENERGY IT REQUIRES TO TURN. AFTER THE INCIDENT I URGENTLY CALLED PONTIAC RIGHT WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER SOMEWHERE, AND EXPLAINED WHAT JUST HAPPENED. BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS, AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. GM TOLD ME TO GO TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN COST. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFERRED ME TO (IN ALBANY, OR) BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE ME WAIT ON THE PHONE ONLY TO HANG UP ON ME AFTER 15 MINUTES. TO GIVE MORE DETAIL ON HOW THIS ISSUE HAPPENS, WHILE I DRIVE THE CAR AT SOME POINT THE POWER GOES OFF, THE SIGNAL TURNS ON AND I HEAR 3 SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE ONES THE CAR DOES WHEN A SEAT BELT IS NOT PROPERLY PLUGGED IN. IT DOES THIS AT RANDOM, AND IN THE MOST DANGEROUS MOMENTS, SUCH AS WHILE NEEDING TO TURN, OR WHILE DRIVING FAST ON A HIGHWAY. STILL TO THIS DAY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR FIXED, OR EVEN LOOKED AT BY A GM DEALERSHIP SINCE I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL WITHOUT RISKING MY LIFE. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT NHTSA AND I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO PUT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THIS LIFE THREATENING TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE. I AM CONSIDERING PRESSING CHARGES IF MY LAWYER DEEMS IT TO BE THE BEST NEXT STEP FOR MY CASE. BUT PLEASE, IN ORDER TO PROTECT AMERICANS THAT OWN MY SAME CAR NEED TO BE ALERTED IMMEDIATELY, THEIR CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PROPERLY FIXED BY THE AUTOMAKER. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION AS LIVES WILL BE LOST IF NO ONE DOES ANYTHING. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ALL DETAILS YOU NEED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK. -[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD WHEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE REVERSE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF MY WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING ONLY PASSENGER WINDOW WORKS THE CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN PUTTING IT IN GEAR. *TR

I BOUGHT IT IN JANUARY AND ITS MAY , I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES ITS DON'T WANT TO CRANK! *TR

ELECTRIC STEERING FAILURE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING KEEPS LOCKING UP. *TR

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AT INITIAL START FROM TIME TO TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE WHEEL BACK TURNING IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

POWER STEERING LOSS OF FUNCTION CAUSE OF FAILURE IS STEERING TORQUE SENSOR AND GM REFUSED TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH ITS IN THEIR RECALL LIST

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A SMALL PRIVATE OWNED DEALERSHIP IT'S HAD THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON. IT LOCKS UP FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON AND SOMETIMES WHILE IM DRIVING. TO GET IT TO RELEASE I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF THEN BACK ON TO GET IT TO WORK. IT USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IM STATIONARY BUT IVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN IN THE CITY.

THE DIC SAYS POWER STEERING AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS SHOWING A CAR WITH A WRENCH INSIDE OF IT. THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT CAN BE REMEDIED BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON. THE REMOTE START WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BUT AS THIS IS A USED CAR I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS PROPERLY FIXED OR ATTENDED TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE BACKING OUT (AND TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT) AND WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE WHEEL STRAIGHT.

THE STEERING COLUMN IS BROKEN AND WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO SHAKE OFF. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THIS. IT MAKES A TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING, THE HIGHER THE SPEED THE LOUDER THE NOISE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AND BACK. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS WHO RIDE IN THIS DAILY. CALLED AND CHECKED ON ANY RECALLS FOR THIS AND WAS INFORMED BACK IN 2014 (PREVIOUS OWNER) HAD IT FIXED FOR THIS ISSUE. AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. PLUS THE SERVICE AIR BACK SOON LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHICH IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN BEING BROKE. THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM AGAIN.

THE POWER STEERING COMES OFF AND ON THE WHEEL TURNS ON ITS OWN

I PURCHASED A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT FROM A SMALL DEALERSHIP, IT HAS HIGH MILEAGE BUT RUNS GOOD. JUST RECENTLY WHEN I START THE CAR THERE IS NO POWER STEERING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART TO ACHIEVE POWER STEERING, SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL RESTARTS TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. I HAVE NOT LOST POWER STEERING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION YET , JUST AT INITIAL START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR FROM THE PARK POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURED.

IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE AGAIN, BUT LIKE YOU DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL. THEN IT'S TIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

OVER A SHORT TIME THE TRANSMISSION KEPT TRYING TO GO IN TO 1ST GEAR BUT WOULD SLIP AND GO INTO 2ND GEAR. IT HAS THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SHIFT CABLE WORKS BUT WHEN I CHANGE TO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR AND BASICALLY SITS THERE IN NO GEAR.

IF LOOKED UP ONLINE THIS COMPLAINT IS VERY COMMON AND LATER MODELS WARRANTED A RECALL. THE 2005-6 SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED BUT HAVEN'T BEEN DUE TO AGE AND LABOR INVOLVED TO DROP THE GAS TANK DUE TO NEWER MODELS HAVING EASIER ACCESS TO THE PUMP WITHOUT DROPPING THE TANK.

AFTER READING NUMEROUS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT GAS SMELL COMING FROM 05 PONTIAC G6. CAR HAS STRONG FUMES COMING INSIDE CABIN AND OUTSIDE CARE WHEN CAR IS EITHER IN MOTION OR PARKED NOT RUNNING.

WHINNY NOISE ON FRONT TRANSAXLE CASE. WON'T SHIFT INTO FOURTH GEAR..

STEERING WHEEL JERKS AT STOP LIGHTS. POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, THEN THERE'S NO POWER STEERING. AUTO MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING . THERE'S A RECALL #14772 THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO COVER MY CAR. PONTIAC G6 2005. WHY?

ON OUR WAY HOME YESTERDAY THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD I NOT BEEN DRIVING AND ABLE TO MANUALLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR MY 100LB GIRLFRIEND TO BE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING FAILED RESULTING IN A NEARLY EMINENT COLLISION WITH ADJACENT TRAFFIC. MY FAMILY WAS WITHIN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND I FELT GENUINE TERROR IN REGARD TO THEIR SAFETY. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION AS THE STEERING BEGAN TO LOCK AND TIGHTEN UP, HOWEVER THROUGH SHEER POWER AND LUCK I MANAGE TO AVOID THE VEHICLES IN THE LANES ADJACENT TO ME. GM HAS HAD SPECIFIC NOTIFICATION OF THIS ISSUE THROUGH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY CUSTOMERS AND HAS APPARENTLY TAKEN THE APPROACH THAT THEY WOULD RATHER RISK THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND CREATE A RECALL IN REGARD TO POWER STEERING TO MAKE THEIR VEHICLES SAFE FOR CONSUMERS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO NO AVAIL AS THEY TREAT RECALLS ON A VIN SPECIFIC BASIS TO AVOID PUBLIC LIABILITY AND HAVE CHOSEN TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE ME PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND WONTON DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

THE EVENING OF JANUARY.24TH,2017 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING HOME AND WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE A SEMI PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME I NOTICED THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE NOT REDUCING THEIR SPEED & THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME BUT SWERVED TO AVOID IT THEN LAID ON THEIR HORN CUSSING ME BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING UNTIL I LET OFF THE BRAKES THEY CAME ON AND STAYED ON, SO I PULLED OVER PUT CAR IN PARK MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND WAS CHECKING THINGS OUT AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS LIKE THEY HAD A MIND OF THEIR OWN. SO I CALLED FOR MY FATHER IN LAW TO COME FOLLOW ME HOME SO THAT I WOULD NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR MY GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK! SO I SHUT CAR OFF LET IT SET FOR 30 MINUTES STARTED BACK UP AND MY IGNITION GOT STUCK AND CONTINUED CRANKING OVER EVEN AFTER STARTED, AND NOW IT SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUOUS THING WITH MY CAR, MY STEERING IS MAKING A NOISE ALMOST LIKE MY WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. I AM SCARED THIS IS A DEATH TRAP

FUEL PUMP LEAKING FUEL AROUND SEAL N TOP OF GAS TANK

WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND MAKING A LEFT TURN THE STEERING GAVE OUT THEN THE CENSOR CAME ON I ALMOST CRASHED! VERY SCARY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,632.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING, ON HIGHWAY AND UPON STARTING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL NOTED UNDER RECALL 140116 FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR TO BE REPAIRED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE POWER STEERING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND MODULE. IT WAS REPORTED IN 2014 THAT ALL 2005 PONTIAC G6'S COULD EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BUT IT THIS INSTANCE IT WASN'T DUE TO THE SENSOR. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND THE INTERSTATE, MY POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT. COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WITHOUT MY PRESSING THE BRAKE. WHEN I DO PRESS THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS GO OFF. (ALSO ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATE). AND SOMETIMES I CANNOT MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK WITHOUT A LOT OF WORK. LIKE PRESSING AND RELEASING THE BRAKE, WIGGLING OR TAPPING OF THE FUSES INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IN THE TRUNK OR UNDER THE HOOD. CURRENTLY THEY SAY NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS CAR, BUT SERVICE PROVIDERS SAY TO CHECK FURTHER. FOUND GM REBATE # N140115 FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. APPARENTLY THERE MAY BE A STEERING SHAFT PROBLEM TOO.GM REBATE # 80317 OR # 13036 FOR THE BRAKE/SHIFTER PROBLEM. BUT PONTIAC SAYS "NOTHING CONFINED TO THIS VEHICLE". THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT I FEEL THEY SHOULD COVER. OBVIOUSLY THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES ALREADY AFFECTED. HOW CAN THEY SAY MINE DOESN'T PERTAIN? AT BEST THEY SAY TAKE IT IN AND IF SERVICE SAYS IT A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, THEY MAY HELP SOMEWHAT. BUT THE CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE WARRANTY SO THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO. REALLY?? IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT COSMETIC OR FUEL SAVING ETC. *TR

POWER STEERING DISPLAYS THEN CANT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, JUST STARTED HAPPENING, WHEN I START THE CAR, TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, HAD TO SLAM BRAKES ON

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON STATEN ISLAND AND STARTED TO MAKE A TURN AND THE STERING STOPPED WORKING. SHE WAS ABLE TO GO STRAIGHT AND PULLED THE CAR TO THE CURB. WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER. HE SAID HE WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC. THE NEXT DAY HE SAID THAT THE KNUCKLE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN TO RACK AND PINION BINDING HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR AND IT HAD 50,402 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY MANFREDI OF STATEN ISLAND. THE INVOICE NUMBER IS 69759 AND THE TOTAL COST WAS $595.96. WHEN I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR.

WHEN LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, MY STEERING WHILE JERKED, THE SINGER SOUNDED, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY DISPLAY SCREEN SAID POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. I GOT TURNED AROUND AND DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO MY MECHANIC. STILL VERY HARD TO STEER. AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTING, IT HAD RESET ITSELF AND BEGAN STEERING FINE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF A RECALL. I CHECKED IT OUT ONLINE. IT STATED THAT ALL 2005 G6 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED GM. THEY CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND SAID MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET.

POWER STEERING IS ALWAYS FAILING AGAIN OVER TIME ONCE I HAD THE RECALL FIXED NUMEROUS OF TIMES... MY STEERING WONT LET ME TURN THE CAR I ALMOST CRASHED GOOD I DECREASED MY SPEED, I HAD TO SHUT HER OFF THAN RESTART IT... I REPLACED INNER AND OUTTER TIE RODS, CONTROL ARMS, AND STRUCT ASSEMLY, PROBLEM STILL EXIST..BRAKES LIGHT ILLUMINATE WHEN EVER THEY WANT. EVEN IF YOUR PARKED WITHOUT ENGAGING IT... I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE DRIVER CURSED ME OUT AND SAID YOUR BRAKES WORK I SAID YES, BUT WHEN I SHOWED HER WHAT WAS GOING ON THE BRAKES ILLUMINATE WHEN IM NOT ON THE BRAKES THAN WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF,, WEIRD....

THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS ON IT'S OWN LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE IN PARK. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING FREQUENTLY UPON STARTING UP THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY IT REGAINS POWER STEERING.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT AND SIGNAL LIGHT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THE SIGNAL LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT BLINK TWICE, THEN GOES OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHT MIGHT COME ON FOR AS LONG AS 10 SECONDS WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKE. I CHANGED THE BULBS, TO NO AVAIL. I EVEN PURCHASED A NEW WIRING HARNESS. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTROL MODULE. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS. I CONTACTED BYFORD BUICK/GMC HERE IN CHICKASHA, OKLA. TO DO THE RECALL. THIS DEALER HAS A HISTORY OF TAKING A CUSTOMERS CAR IN FOR RECALL, THEN TELLING THE CUSTOMER THE RECALL DIDN'T ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND RUNNING UP A HUGE BILL. WHEN I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION RECALL, I WAS VERY SPECIFIC THAT THEY ONLY DO THE RECALL, AND NOTHING MORE. THEY CALLED TWO DAYS LATER AND SAID THE CAR WAS READY. WHEN WE PICKED IT UP, THE BRAKE LAMP WAS STILL NOT WORKING. THEY SAID THEY ONLY FIXED THE RECALL, I SAID THAT WAS WHAT THE RECALL NOTICE WAS FOR, WHAT DID YOU REPLACE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TIM SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE REPAIR WAS, HOWEVER THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT FOR $112 AN HOUR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR CAR. THERE IS A RECALL OF 550,000 PONTIAC G6'S FOR A BRAKE LAMP CONTROL MODULE. THE DEALER SAID THEIR RECALL WAS FOR A RETAINER CLIP. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE GOING TO WORK. I NEED HELP GETTING THE DEALER TO ACTUALLY DO THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE

THAT IT WAS OVER ONE YEAR AND NOT COVERED BY RECALL. HE SAID THEY START LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM IN BRAKES FIRST AND WORK THEIR WAY TO STEERING. I LAUGHED WITH ANGER AND LEFT. I DID TAKE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO DID REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS BUT SAID THEY EASILY WEREN'T THE CAUSE AND WERE NORMAL AND DEFINITELY NOT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. THE TIE ROD END WAS FINE AND HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY MEANT. THEY WERE FRAUDUENTLY ABUSING THEIR SERVICE WHICH HAPPENS OFTEN WITH PA. INSPECTIONS AS WELL.

FROM 0-10 MPH THE CAR TAKES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO GAIN ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE LEVEL OF DEPRESSION APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, INCLUDING A GM DEALER. NOT A SINGLE MECHANIC INCLUDING GM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I CALLED GM TO PLACE A COMPLAINT, AND I STUPIDLY THOUGHT WITH ALL THE GM ISSUES AND LAW SUITS GOING ON NOW POSSIBLY THEIR ASSISTANCE AS 1) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. 2) MY CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 63K IN MILEAGE. I EXPLAINED TO GM THAT I CANNOT AT THIS TIME SAFELY ACCELERATE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY SHOULD I GOD FORBID HAVE TO.

AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FUEL WAS LEAKING NEAR THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. NO VISIBLE LEAK YET. THE SMELL IS STRONG AND IS COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. SINCE THE SMELL STARTED, THE CAR HAS GOTTEN HARDER TO GET STARTED. *TR

BOTH SIDES OF THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF HAS COME UNATTACHED AND LEAKED IN MY FLOOR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING GETTING DRIPPED ON AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK. WORST CAR EVER!!!!! ALSO THE BRAKES ARE TERRIBLE. I'VE DONE SO MUCH WORK MYSELF TO MY BRAKES AND HAD SHOPS DO SOME TOO BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE [XXX] THROUGH A SHOP EVER 6 MO. MY PASSENGER SIDE ROTOR LOCKED UP FOR NO REASON 2 DIFF. SHOPS COULDN'T FIND A REASON. THE BLEEDING PROCESS IS RIDICULOUS AND THE BRAKES DO NOT LAST MORE THAN 4-6 MO TOPS NO MATTER HOW YOU BRAKE ON THEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SPECIFY WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME MY ALARM SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKED ON THEN STAYED ON. THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON. AFTER I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START FOR 45 MINS. I FOLLOWED ALL RESET PROCEDURES NOTHING WORKED. HAD TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT ALARM. NOW ALARM WILL NOT WORK AND THE TRUNK/DOORS OPEN OR UNLOCK RANDOMLY, RADIO TURNS OFF, LIGHTS TURN OFF. PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW NOONE IN TOWN KNOWS HOW TO FIX. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY IGNITION SHUT OFF. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, HAVING NO STEERING. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND RESTART THE CAR. IT WAS VERY ALARMING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN) WAS RECEIVED IN JULY OF 2014. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHO INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A SECOND NOTIFICATION IN OCT OF 2014, INFORMING THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE BUT THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE PART CONTINUED TO BE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.

ON SEPTEMBER 2014, I PURCHASED A 2005 PONTIAC G6 WITH ABOUT 182,000 MILES FOR THE PURPOSES OF DRIVING ME TO WORK. I WAS NOT AWARE OR MADE AWARE OF A STRONG FUEL SMELL EMITTING FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE CAR AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER. I WAS LATER ADVISED THAT A FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR WAS POSSIBLY CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE ABOVE THE GAS TANK. MY MECHANIC ALSO ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANY FURTHER SINCE IT POSED A FIRE DANGER. IN ADDITION, GM RECALLED THE 2007-2009 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT FOR THE 2005-6 PONTIAC G6 CARS. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS TWO RECALLS WHICH MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WILL FIX IN THE UPCOMING WEEK. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE FAULTY FUEL PUMPS? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A MANUFACTURE DEFECT? *TR

STEERING COLUMN FEELS LOOSE WHEN DRIVING. IT MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE WITH MOVEMENT LEFT OR RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 2008. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND FOUND TO HAVE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING SO WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. RECALL INFOR SENT TO ME CONCERNING THIS EXACT PROBLEM HOWEVER THE REPAIRS CANT BE MADE WITHOUT THE PARTS. GM PLEASE HURRY AND GET THE RECALL PARTS TO THE REPAIR SHOPS. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE MY LIFE OVER THIS AND THE ANXIETY OF DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS AS MANY RECALLS AS THIS ONE DOES IS VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH. *TR

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WE DID RECEIVE RECALL NOTICE ON THIS PART IN MARCH 2014 AND HAD REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO GET IT FIXED HOWEVER; HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY TIME THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH GM'S LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC , VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THIS CAR CURRENTLY HAS THREE RECALLS BY THE MANUFACTURE. IT WAS BY GRACE THAT MY HUSBAND AND SON MADE IT TO THEIR DESTINATION SAFELY. WHEN THEY GOT READY TO LEAVE FROM WHERE THEY WERE GOING, MY HUSBAND COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE. IMMEDIATELY THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND THE BREAKS WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE TOWED THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND LEARNED THE STRUCTURE OF THE INNER DASH HAD BROKE. THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE BREAKING SYSTEM IS ALL CONNECTED TO THE DASH. WE HAD NO WARNING, MY HUSBAND DRIVES THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY TO WORK. I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS SITTING. WE WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH FOR OVER 2000 DOLLARS. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR NOW HAVING FOUR RECALLS. THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHO OWNS THIS CAR. IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT GM HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR STEERING COLUMN AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFTS. WE WERE VERY LUCKY, BUT WHO IS TO SAY THE NEXT OWNER OF THIS PONTIAC WILL BE. THIS IS NOT COMMON, WHO WOULD THINK A INNER DASH WOULD CRACK, THIS IS A POOR DESIGN. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE INNER DASH SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT... I HAVE PAID FOR MY CAR ON TOP OF ALL SORTS OF KNOWN PROBLEMS: BEARINGS, MULTIPLE ROTORS AND BREAKS, HEATED SEATS CATCHING ON FIRE, STRUTS ALL THE WAY AROUND, BURNT OUT LIGHTING, MOTOR FOR HEAT, RECALL FOR POWER STEERING, MULTIPLE TIRES, PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS BROKEN, NEW FRONT WINDOW AND THE LIST GOES ON. WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT I HAVE SPENT PLUS THE PURCHASE PRICE THIS SEEMS SO UNFAIR. MY TOTAL SALE PRICE FOR THIS CAR INCLUDING FINANCE CHARGES WAS $28,028.60. WOW DID I GET THE SHORT END OF THE DEAL. THANK YOU. *TR

LAST FALL THE CAR TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK, THIS PAST WINTER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK, TURNING SIGNALS WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND MOST RECENTLY THE STEERING IS GOING OUT ALMOST ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE CAR HAS BEEN LOCKING UP ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. FORCING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I NEED THIS VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. I CANT WAIT FOR PARTS TO BE IN. I HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT IN. IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE THE CAR DOES BREAK DOWN OR THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL PUMP LEAKING GAS, CAR WILL NOT OVERTURN PROPERLY, HAZARD. *TR

COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT PREPARING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, AS I SLOWED TO COMPLETE BREAK THE SERVICE VEHICLE LIGHT CAME ON AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN BUT I LOST POWER STEERING MAKING ME UNABLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN THAT THE 4 OR 5 CARS BEHIND ME THOUGHT I WOULD BE MAKING THUS ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION WHICH SENT ME IN A FULL PANIC ATTACK HAVING TO TAKE MEDICATION TO BRING ME OUT OF IT. *TR

I HAD PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I NOTICED A GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE BACK END OF MY CAR. WHEN MY FATHER IN LAW CAME OUT HE SAW THAT THERE WAS GAS LEAKING ONTO MY EXHAUST. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE COME ACROSS A RECALL FOR THE FULL PUMP SEAL. I CONTACTED GM AND ARE CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL. I AS WELL CALLED AIRTREX PRODUCTIONS AND THEY WILL ONLY TAKE IT AFTER MARKET. WHY WAS I NOT WARNED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. GM NEEDS TO BUY THESE CARS OFF OF US! BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FAULT WE HAVE SUCH ISSUES. *TR

GM HAS SENT MULTIPLE LETTERS REGARDING THE POWER STEERING RECALL. THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AND THEY ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE OWNERS TO CONTINUE DRIVING EVEN AT A RISK OF POWER STEERING LOSS AND ACCIDENT. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN MY G6 LOST POWER STEERING CAUSING ME TO HIT AN OBSTRUCTION. GM IS A TERRIBLE COMPANY AND THE US GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWING THIS JOKE OF A RECALL. HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THEM EITHER FIX THE RECALL IN 5 BUSINESS DAYS OR BUY THESE CARS FROM US AT MARKET VALUE. I WILL BE SENDING MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR THE SAME LETTER TELLING THEM OF MY POOR TREATMENT. *TR

IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS I'VE HAD TO GET MY BRAKES REPLACED TWICE AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE MY CARS POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER ALL OF THAT, I'VE GOTTEN THREE LETTERS IN THE MAIL IN THE LAST MONTH FOR RECALLS ON MY CAR. IF THERE'S THAT MANY PARTS BEING RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE, WHY ISN'T GM JUST RECALLING THE WHOLE VEHICLE SINCE THE G6 HAS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ALWAYS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING, AND TURN OFF WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS ALSO CAUSES ISSUES WITH ENGAGING CRUISE CONTROL. CRUISE CONTROL NEVER WORKS SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. SHIFTING OUT OF PARK IS DIFFICULT. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING IN MY CAR CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONS WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE VEHICLE AND HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM AFRAID THAT IT IS GOING TO GO COMPLETELY OUT AND I MAY LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. *TR

MY GRANDDAUGHTERS CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WHERE IT WOULD NOT START AT TIMES, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY TO TRY TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF, THE CAR STARTED ROLLING DOWN HILL IN MY DRIVEWAY. I STOPPED THE CAR FROM ROLLING AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT, I FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT START. I THEN SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WAS ABLE TO START. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM BY PUTTING THE CAR BACK IN PARK. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GO INTO PARK AND THEN START AND OTHER TIMES IT ONLY APPEARED TO BE GOING INTO PARK AND THEN WOULD NOT START AND ALSO WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS ON AN INCLINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE GOOD NEWS WAS THE THERE WAS A GM RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE. I CALLED GM TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR HAD A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE, THE VIN NUMBER FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTERS CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THIS CAR HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AS THE RECALL ALONG WITH ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING A STARTING ISSUE IN PARK AND THE ABILITY TO ROLL DOWN HILL AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT GETTING HELP WITH THIS REPAIR? *TR

MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A NOISE AND THE STEERING WAS SLUGGISH/LABORED. THE MECHANIC I USE TEST DROVE AND STATED IT WAS PROBABLY THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR. HE THEN WENT ON THE SAY THERE WAS A GM RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED. HOW DO I KNOW IF AND WHEN I SHOULD BE NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL? THANK YOU *TR

MY CAR WHEEL KINDA FELT A LITTLE LOOSE BUT I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. GOT TO A STOP SIGN ND HEARD THE CHIME WITH POWER STEERING MESSAGE IN MESSAGE DISPLAY AREA, WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL ND HAD LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OF STEERING. WENT TO O'REILLY ND BOUGHT SOME STEERING FLUID ND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE WITH PUTTING IT IN. WAS TOLD I HAD TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED TO FILL IT. STARTED THE CAR ND THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK. DROVE TO WALMART (3 MILES) WITH NO PROBLEM ND HAD CAR SERVICED. THEY TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING WAS ELECTRIC ND COULDN'T BE FILLED. MY DAD DROVE THE CAR ND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ONCE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF IT CAME BACK. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE OF THAT INCIDENT THOUGH. *TR

MY PONTIAC G6 IS REPORTEDLY RECALLED FOR A FAULTY POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN FAULTY FOR AT LEAST A YEAR WITH A WARNING SIGN DISPLAYING ON MY CONTROL SECTION OF MY CAR. I ALSO EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING LOSS LAST NOVEMBER 2013 ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I COULD NOT TURN THE CAR WITHOUT USING LOTS OF PHYSICAL FORCE WHICH TERRIFIED ME, AT THE TIME. I DID NOT KNOW OF THE G6 PROBLEMS AT THE TIME AND I TOOK IT INTO MY AUTO MECHANIC AFTER WORK BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SHOWING WHEN HE EXAMINED IT. IT DOES NOT APPEAR ALL THE TIME AND I ONLY LOST POWER ON THE ONE OCCASION. I CONTACTED A PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE OVER A MONTH AGO AND COMPLETED THE QUESTIONS HE ASKED. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY ME WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVED TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE THAT IT WILL LOCK UP AGAIN. *TR

GM HAS STATED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON ALL G6'S FROM 2005, HOWEVER I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY POWER STEERING HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING IT FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN SAFETY INSPECTED. I WANT TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED, BUT IT COSTS ABOUT 700.00 AND GM WONT FIX IT. WHAT DO I DO?? IN MICHIGAN WINTERS, THE POWER STEERING IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRANSPORTING MY TWO YEAR OLD SON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL GOT STIFF AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE RADIO SCREEN. SO I JUST TURNED AROUND AND PARKED CAR AT HOME. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND HEARD 3 DINGS AND THEN LOST MY POWER STEERING. A MESSAGE ALSO POPPED UP ON MY RADIO SCREEN STATING POWER STEERING.

WHEN WIFE WAS TURNING INTO PARKING LOT, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO STEER. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER AND LEAVE CAR. *TR

1- THE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT JUST COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. LIGHTS, POWER LOCKS, WINDOWS, RADIO, THE CAR, EVERYTHING. WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD CAR (WITH MY KEYS IN MY LAP) THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN. 2- WENT TO GET INTO MY CAR AFTER COMING OUT OF THE STORE - THE CAR WAS TRYING TO REBOOT ITSELF. ALL THE ACCESSORIES WOULD TURN ON, BUT THE CAR REMAINED DEAD AND WOULD NOT START. LET SIT FOR ABOUT 5-8 MINUTES (AFTER IT TRIED TO START ITSELF ABOUT 5 TIMES) - I COULD START THE CAR 3- CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND IT WAS ONCE AGAIN, COMPLETELY DEAD WHERE NOTHING WORK (COULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS EVEN). ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER OF LETTING IT SIT, THE LOCKS STARTED CLICKING (AS IN UNLOCKING, LOCKING, UNLOCKING, LOCKING). THEN IT STARTED ON ITS OWN, WITH MY KEYS IN MY LAP. *TT

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND THE POWER STEERING JUST QUIT. I HAD TO PULL IT OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND WAIT FOR MY FATHER TO COME LOOK IT OVER. HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND STARTED THE CAR, AND IT WORKED LIKE NORMAL. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. *JS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. AS IT HAS BEEN REVEALED IN A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V036000) THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY -- THEY TURN ON WHEN I AM NOT HITTING THE BRAKES AND TURN OFF WHEN I DO HIT THE BRAKES. IN JULY 2009 I THOUGHT I HAD THE ISSUE FIXED WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING FIXED UNDER THE RECALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY.

IF WE BARELY TOUCH KEY THE CAR SHUTS OFF. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO PARK AND FIGURE OUT THAT YOU HAD TO PHYSICALLY AND CAREFULLY TURN THE KEY TO RUN. THE CAR DIED 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES. WE HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE DEALER HAD EARLIER SHAVED THE CARS KEY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER THEN HAD THE LOCK CHANGED BY A CERTIFIED LOCKSMITH. WE CONTACTED GM TO VERIFY THAT THE NEW IGNITION THAT THE LOCKSMITH PUT IN WASN'T DEFECTIVE,(NOT THAT WE QUESTION THE LOCKSMITH)AND WAS TOLD THE CAR WASN'T ON THE RECALL. WHEN WE ASKED WHETHER THEY COULD TELL IF THE LOCK WAS OK,OR IF THE PROBLEM WAS DEEPER IN THE IGNITION THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $110 JUST TO FIND OUT,AND IF IT WAS DEFECTIVE,$300 MORE. NOW WE'VE CONTACTED GM AND GOT A FILE NUMBER,AND GUESS WHAT? THEY'RE BLOWING US OFF. WE NEVER EVEN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE RECALL NEWS 2/14.THE RECALL NEEDS EXPANDING. AND WE NEED TO KNOW IF THE LOCKS A LOCKSMITH MIGHT BUY TO REPLACE, IS ALSO BAD. GM REFUSES TO GIVE THAT INFO. AND THEY SAY THEY HAVEN'T GOT THE PARTS TO REPAIR THEIR PROBLEM ANYWAY. CAN IT BE THE IGNITION LOCK ONLY OR IS IT DEEPER? *TR

WE PUT NEW TIRES HAD ALIGNMENT DONE WITHIN DAYS STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHERE IT FEELS LIKE THE TIRES LOOSE GRIP FROM THE ROAD. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES WENT AN HAD THEM ROTATED THE NEXT DAY AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR THE STEERING JERKS TO THE LEFT. TOOK IT BACK GARAGE CHECKED EVERYTHING CANT FIND ANYTHING. ALSO HAVE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON EVEN WHEN SEAT BELT IS ON HAD FUEL LEAK AT NECK OF SPOUT. *TR

WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKELIGHT THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, HOWEVER WHEN I ACCELERATE THE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP IN2012AND PAID ($220) TO HAVE IT "FIXED". I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THIS IS THE ONLY FIX(LUBRICATE THE BCM CONTROL). THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE COME BACK AND NO MECHANIC KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. I AM AFRAID THAT WHILE DRIVING SOMEONE WILL SMASH INTO ME WHEN I BRAKE BECAUSE MY LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON TO WARN THEM TO STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RETURN PORT WAS CRACKED AND THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY PROBLEM FIRST STARTED WHEN TRYING TO PARK , THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD. THEN THE NEXT TIME I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN. THEN YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH AND LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE STEERING REPLACED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGAIN AT THE COST OF OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS. COULD YOU TELL ME IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, *TR

"POWER STEERING" FLASHED ON THE RADIO WITH A CHIME THEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. MY WIFE ALMOST HIT THE NEIGHBORS DAUGHTER ON A BICYCLE JUST COMING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY TO TURN ONTO THE STREET. DUE TO MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE (159,000), GM STATES THAT IT DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE WARRANTY THEREFORE NOT COVERING THE COST OF REPAIR. THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE!!! THE ELECTRIC PUMP NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT INSIDE THIS CAR! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT STEER MY VEHICLE. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH CARS GOING AS FAST AS 80MPH. I TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD AND PULL MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.I SEE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. WHY ISN'T THIS BEING RECALLED? THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THANK GOD MY CHILD WAS NOT WITH ME. *TR

FRIDAY SHORTLY AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM WORK AND PARKING MY CAR IN THE GARAGE, I WALKED OUTSIDE TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE GARAGE AND UPON OPENING THE GARAGE DOOR, I NEARLY FELL OVER FROM THE GASOLINE FUMES THAT I ENCOUNTERED. MY ENTIRE GARAGE WAS FILLED WITH THE VAPORS OF GASOLINE. I WAS VERY CONCERNED BUT DID NOT SEE ANY LEAKS AROUND MY CAR. I DID NOT DARE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF FIRE. I DID NOT DRIVE MY CAR ALL WEEKEND. MONDAY MORNING I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THE FUEL ASSEMBLY UNIT HAD A LEAK NEAR THE FUEL ARM MECHANISM LEADING TO THE ENGINE. THIS REQUIRED REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL ASSEMBLY UNIT. THE PLASTIC PIECE SHOULD SHOW NO SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR SINCE IT IS ENCASED WITHIN THE FUEL ASSEMBLY UNIT. THIS IS CLEARLY A FLAWED DESIGN AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE A FUEL LEAK AND HAD I BEEN PARKED AT MY OFFICE IN THE UNDERGROUND PARKING STRUCTURE, A LIGHTED MATCH OR CIGARETTE WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL ASSEMBLY MUST BE RECALLED AS IT POSES A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON NOR DID ANY OTHER WARNING MESSAGE ALERT ME TO THE POTENTIAL DANGER THIS DEFECT CAUSED. *TR

POWER STEERING WENT SUDDENLY OUT TODAY WHILE TURNING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION. COULD OF BEEN HIT. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES!!!!!!!!! *TR

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT TODAY ON VEHICLE WHILE TURNING CROSSING INTERSECTION. COULD OF BEEN HIT. VERY SCARY. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. EVER!!!! *TR

01/05/2014 AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, A TRUCK PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING - HOWEVER THEY HAD BEEN JUST A MOMENT BEFORE. *TR 01/10/2014 THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THIS DATE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING (HOWEVER I WAS NOT BREAKING), AND THERE WAS A DRIVER THAT PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, HOWEVER THE FUSE IS NOT DAMAGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND COMPLETING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND THREW US FORWARD WHICH RESULTED IN US RUNNING INTO SOME CEMENT PILLARS. I HAD TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR UP TO THE RADIATOR WAS CRUNCHED. I AM THANKFUL THAT WE HIT THE CEMENT PILLARS AN NOT ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON, BUT AM DEFINITELY WORRIED ABOUT IT NOT BEING FIXED PROPERLY AND HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE LAST MIGHT IN 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. I NOTICED HER BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES, HER BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD TO FOLLOW HER IN HER CAR, I DO NOT NOW HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. SHE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, IT IS A ONE OWNER SO I KNOW NO ONE HAS MESSED WITH ANY OF THE PARTS/WIRES. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED THERE WERE SEVERAL PAGES ON THIS SITUATION. ALSO, THAT THERE WERE RECALLS IN THE PAST. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT A RECALL. IS THIS SOMETHING THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD FIX OR ARE WE STUCK TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE? *TR

I WAS JUST LEAVING WORK WHEN I HEARD A CHIME AND I LOOKED AT MY DASH BOARD AND NOTICED A YELLOW CAR WITH A WRENCH IN IT. I THEN FELT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND BECAME HARD TO STEER. I THEN LOOKED AT MY RADIO AND IT SAID POWER STEERING. I HAD TO DRIVE 6 MILES HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING. I KNEW I COULD STILL DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT. I THEN FIGURED OUT THAT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING FLUID WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND WAS ELECTRONIC. VERY DANGERS AND VERY HARD TO MAKE 90 DEGREE TURNS BUT MADE IT HOME SAFE. *TR

WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT ON 11/28/13 THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AS I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN I COULDN'T, IT SEEMED AS THO MY STEERING WHEEL HAD FROZE! IMMEDIATELY A MESSAGE CAME ACROSS MY MESSAGE BOARD THAT SAID POWER STEERING AND THEN A SYMBOL OF A CAR WITH A WRENCH INSIDE OF IT APPEARED ON MY DASH IN THE LEFT CORNER. OF COURSE I PANICKED BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME STARTED BLOWING THE HORN. I MANAGED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I PULLED OUT MY MANUAL AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ! I HAD TO FIND SOMEONE TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ITSELF WHICH IT DID, SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. ONCE AT HOME I WENT ON-LINE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION THAT I COULD FIND ON THE EPS AND IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT I FOUND ! LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN 2010 THAT DID NOT INCLUDE MY MAKE. SEEING THAT THIS IS A DOCUMENTED DEFECT I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL MATTER ! I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE THEREFORE I HAVE TO FIND OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. *TR

HAPPENED 2X'S IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. FIRST COMING IN TO THE DRIVE WAY OF MY HOUSE. POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. CAR COASTED IN TO STOP. NO ISSUE SINCE IN MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED. STEERING WORKED. CALLED DEALER MADE APPOINTMENT FOR 11/29. IN ROUTE TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT A STOP READY TO TURN ON TO TRAFFIC. AS I ACCELERATED THE STEERING DIED.. HAD TO STRUGGLE TO MAKE THE TURN. TOLD THE DEALER. RECEIVED A CALL THAT THIS WILL BE COVERED EVEN THOUGH AT FIRST HE SAID IT WOULD NOT BE. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE HERE. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER FOR LONG DISTANCE AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THANK GOD IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT ON A HIGHWAY OR IN MOVING TRAFFIC WHILE SHE DROVE IT. BUT IT DID HAPPEN TO ME. THIS SHOULD BE MADE VERY PUBLIC. *TR

WELL DRIVING ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW THE POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON US . TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAD TO STOP THE CAR , TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT . AND TODAY IT LOCKED UP WHERE WE COULDN'T EVEN TURN THE WHEEL AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT , GM REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2005 G6 FOR THIS STEERING ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED . WE CARRY PRECIOUS CHILDREN IN THIS CAR AND WITH OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WHEN ARE THEY GONNA WAKE UP AND RECALL JUST AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE 2006 .. IS IT GONNA TAKE THE PRICE OF PEOPLES LIVES BEFORE GM FIXES THIS KNOWN PROBLEM ... *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR CAR AND THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT LOCKED UP AND GOOD THING THAT SHE WAS DRIVING SLOW BECAUSE SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT IF SOMEONE WAS NEXT TO HER THEN SHE WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. *TR

FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING IN MY STREET. FOR EXAMPLE TODAY IT DID SO, AND THEN IT STALLED AND WAS FOLLOWED BY THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE DISPLAYING ON THE RADIO, ALONG WITH WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH. THIS IS REALLY SCARY AND NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT OCCURS, IS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE BY ITSELF FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. IT WILL EVEN DO THIS WHEN IN PARK. PLEASE MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING LIGHT POPPED UP ON MY MONSOON RADIO. AT THE SAME TIME MY POWER STEERING INSTANTLY WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO MOMENTARILY LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. LUCKILY, NOONE WAS BEHIND ME. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 BUT NONE ON 2005. *TR

I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND TURNING LANE AND I STARTED TO TURN AND I LOST ALL MY POWER STEERING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS A PARKING LOT TO MY RIGHT THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO AFTER I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEAMS TO BE WORK NOW. IT HAS A ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT SO THERE IS NO FLUID TO CHECK. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND READ MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING. IF I WAS NOT SO LUCKY I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME OR COMING SOME OTHER DIRECTION. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME, THEY DON'T WORK PROPERLY DRIVERS CANNOT TELL WHEN I'M STOPPING, WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND WHEN I'M NOT PUSHING THE BRAKE THEY GO ON.. ?? *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AFTER I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE ARE ALSO TIMES THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD FOR MY CAR TO SHIFT. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT ENGAGING WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT ON. I HIT THE BUTTON FOR CRUISE & THE LIGHT JUST FLASHES BACK OFF INSTEAD OF STAYING ON LIKE IT SHOULD. *TR

THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT...ONLY ONE OF THEM. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING. FOR SOME TIME NOW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE OFF AND ON WITH TAKING THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES, I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES REAL HARD FOR IT TO RELEASE AND LET ME MOVE THE GEAR STICK. ALSO EXPERIENCED OUR CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK WHEN ON VACATION IN FLORIDA IN MAY 2013. HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN. THINKING BACK ON IT NOW, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE PROBABLY ACTING UP DURING THAT TIME! RECENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN WORKING. CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TELL ME AFTER FOLLOWING ME, THAT I'M "RIDING" MY BRAKES AND WHEN I STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF! I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW. TRYING TO CONTACT OUR GM DEALERSHIP, WHICH KNOWS NOTHING OF A PAST RECALL. CONTACTED THE NATIONAL GM AND THEY HAVE NO "ACTIVE" RECALL FOR MY CAR. COPIED IT OFF THE WEBSITE ALONG WITH OTHERS' SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THE REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM TO PRESENT TO OUR LOCAL GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT IF I WANT IT FIXED. I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW WITH MY LIGHTS WORKING BACKWARDS!! THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR FOR 8 YEARS WITH THIS BEING THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I'VE HAD. NEED HELP WITH GETTING THIS PAST RECALL REACTIVATED AND PAID FOR BY GM. ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR IF AND WHEN THE RECALL IS REACTIVATED AFTER I'VE HAD IT FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE BRAKES WERE BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. UPDATED 11/18/13*CN UPDATED 11/29/2013 *JS

DETERIORATED/CRACKED ELBOW ON FUEL MODULE ASSEMBLY CAUSED FUEL TO POOL ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. SEVERE FUEL VAPOR SMELL NOTICEABLE IN ENCLOSED GARAGE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IGNITED BY GAS WATER HEATER. FUEL ALSO COULD HAVE IGNITED WHILE DRIVING, IF IT HAD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE MUFFLER. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE G6. *TR

MY GRANDMA OWNS THIS CAR, WHEN I VISITED THIS WEEK THERE WAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN HER GARAGE. SHE TOLD ME IT HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. I IMMEDIATELY HAD HER OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR AND MADE AN APPT WITH A MECHANIC. IT WAS THE CRACKED ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT HAD BEEN CONTINUOUSLY LEAKING GAS ONTO THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, WHICH COST MORE THAN $700. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC AND A SIMPLE COMPUTER SEARCH I REALIZED THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT GM ALLOWED THIS TO GO UNANNOUNCED. SHE RUNS A KILN IN HER GARAGE AT HEATS OVER 1800. SHE HAD ESSENTIALLY A BOWL OF FUEL SITTING ON HER GAS TANK FOR OVER 6MO. WHILE SHE DROVE AND WHILE IT WAS CLOSED IN HER GARAGE. THANK GOD SHE'S SAFE, BECAUSE IT WAS NO THANKS TO GM. *JS

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN IM DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IT IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OF THE CAR THEN TURN IT BACK ON' I'VE HAD NEAR ACCIDENT INCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS AND I CONTACTED THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF IT THAT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN NEAR THE CAR. VEHICLE JUST RECENTLY WAS INSPECTED FOR EMISSIONS AND PASSED THE CALIFORNIA SMOG CHECK. THE SMOG CHECK TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED FURTHER. I FOUND ONLINE THAT OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IF THEY WILL PAY FOR REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP GILROY CADILLAC CHEVROLET HAS ORDERED PART AND IS GOING TO REPAIR AND INDICATED COST OF >$1,100.00 THEY SAID THAT A PLASTIC ELBOW FITTING ON OUTSIDE OF FUEL TANK IS CRACKED AND SPRAYING GASOLINE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK AND THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FUEL PUMP IS FUNCTIONING AND CAR RUNS FINE, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! *TR

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS FROM VEHICLE BUT DID NOT NOTICE LEAK. DID NOTICE LOWER MILES PER GALLON. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR BRAKES AND MECHANIC INFORMED ME I WAS LUCKY THE CAR HADN'T CAUGHT ON FIRE. TOOK PICTURES OF GAS POOL ON TANK. THE FUEL PUMP ELBOW IS CRACKED AND THE ENTIRE UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JS

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. AT TIMES, THEY WILL TURN ON WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THEY WILL ALSO JUST COME ON RANDOMLY. NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY DON'T COME ON AT ALL. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BRAKE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT, I PAID MY EXTREMELY HIGH BILL AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I GOT PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING MY CAR BACK IN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS CORROSION IN THE BRAKE LINES. THEY FIXED THAT, I PAID MY EXTREMELY HIGH BILL AND LEFT. A FEW DAYS LATER, MY BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DID NOT WORK. I EVEN TOOK MY G6 IN FOR THE RECALL ABOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR LONG EITHER! I TRIED TO PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE WHERE PONTIAC IS CLAIMING THERE IS CORROSION CAUSING THE BRAKES TO SELDOM WORK. THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND JUST RECENTLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT BY THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER OR A SOLUTION. I'VE BEEN PULLED OVER FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING PROPERLY, MY CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO!

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SALES STAFF AND WAS TOLD THAT, DUE TO THE PRICE I WAS PAYING, THERE WAS "NO ROOM LEFT TO REPAIR SOMETHING NOT SAFETY RELATED". THIS WAS AGREEABLE TO ME, SO I LEFT IT AT THAT. I DROVE THE CAR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH NO OTHER APPARENT ISSUES. SOME TIME LATER I FOLLOWED MY WIFE IN OUR OTHER VEHICLE WHILE SHE DROVE THE PONTIAC. I WITNESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON DURING TIMES WHEN THE LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE ON. PULLING UP TO A STOP, I WITNESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. BASICALLY, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING APPLIED, AND GO OUT WHEN THE PEDAL IS BEING APPLIED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, BUT A RECALL ISSUE. AFTER CONTACTING GM, I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT PART OF THEIR VERY LIMITED RECALL AS "THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE RADIO DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DID NOT ENGAGE AND ABRUPT FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 119,000. UPDATED 10/31/13*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. SHE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIME AND SHAKE THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO GET IT OUT OF POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000. *TR

GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE BRAKES, BRAKE LAMPS STUCK ON/OFF WHEN BRAKE IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND/OR ON WHEN IT IS DEPRESSED. *TR

WAS WAITING AT STOP SIGN TO TURN RIGHT AND HEARD THE WARNING BELL WITH POWER STEERING IN THE LED MENU DISPLAY. ALL POWER ASSIST WAS LOST AT THAT VERY MOMENT. UPON RETURNING HOME I RESTARTED THE CAR AND POWER ASSIST WAS WORKING AGAIN. AFTER READING THROUGH TSB COMPLAINTS I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE STICKING BRAKE LATE ISSUE LAST YEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CARS CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, AND COULD NOT BE SET AGAIN. WHEN I GOT HOME I WALKED AROUND MY CAR WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED WITH NO DRIVER PRESENT IN THE CAR. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY PONTIAC G6 HAVING THIS ISSUE, EVEN A RECALL WAS SENT OUT BUT IT DOESN'T EFFECT MY CAR. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED MANY G6 DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DOING THE SAME THING AS MINE, BRAKE LIGHTS WRITING ON THEIR OWN OR NOT WORKING AT ALL. IT ALSO TRIGGERS THE CAR MAINTENANCE LIGHT TO TURN ON AS WELL. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME. THEY ARE USUALLY BACKWARDS (RED WHEN DRIVING AND OFF WHEN BRAKING). *TR

IN APRIL 2013, WHILE DRIVING THE 2005 PONTIAC G6, THE WHEEL BEGAN "JERKING" AROUND, AND IT BECAME HARDER TO CONTROL AND STEER THE VEHICLE. A CHIME, AND WARNING LIGHT APPEARED "POWER STEERING". AFTER VEERING OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND AND RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM DID NOT REAPPEAR. AFTER THE SECOND RE-START, THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED AND WAS INCREASED- INCREASED STRENGTH TO STEER, WARNING LIGHT ON. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT LOCALLY OWNED SHOP, IT WAS LEARNED THAT PONTIAC WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND HAD ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE PROBLEM. AFTER TAKING IT TO A PONTIAC CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP, THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, AT MY COST OF $780.00, DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY MILEAGE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE PERIMETERS. I WAS ISSED A LETTER OUTLINING THE PROBLEM,AND SPECIAL COVERAGE PERIMETERS IN JUNE 2012, AT WHICH TIME I WAS WELL WITHIN THE MILEAGE AND YEAR PERIMTERS LISTED, BUT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT SEEK REPAIR ASSISTANCE, AS IT INDICATED FOR OWNERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM ONLY TO SEEK REPAIR ASSISTANCE, AND IT WOULD BE COVERED AT NO CHARGE. I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM 9 MONTHS LATER, IN EXACTLY THE WAY DESCRIBED IN THE LETTER, AND WAS DENIED COVERAGE DUE TO A HIGHER MILEAGE THAN OUTLINED 9 MONTHS PRIOR. LOOSING CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING WHILE GOING DOWN A 2-LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN, THAN A GENERAL SPECIAL COVERAGE PROBLEM. DESPITE THE AMOUNTS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, IT IS DISSAPOINTING THAT PONTIAC IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A MORE FORMAL, RECALL WAY, AND INSTEAD TREATING IT AS A CASUAL COMPLIANT. AFTER CALLING THE 1-800 FOR GM, I WAS INFORMED OF NO FURTHER ASSITANCE, OR ANY INDICATION THAT A RECALL WOULD SOON BE ISSUED. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. HAD TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND START AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STEERING WOULD FUNCTION AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 2.5 WEEKS, WITH SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE INCREASING (TAKES MORE RESTARTS TO RESOLVE ISSUE). *TR

THE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED AND WILL GO OUT WHEN I DO STEP ON THE PEDAL. WHEN I APPLY MORE PRESSURE, THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON AND THEN WHEN I STEP OFF THE PEDAL THEY DO GO BACK OFF. HOWEVER, AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT A FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

STEERING COLUMN HAS LOCKED UP THREE TIMES WHILE TURNING INTO PARKING PLACES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF MY STEERING ABILITY. THE MESSAGE SCREEN SAYS POWER STEERING FAILURE AND THE CAR NOTIFIES ME WITH A SIGNALING SOUND THEN THE YELLOW SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE WRENCH. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AFTER MANUALLY MANIPULATING THE STEERING WHEEL AS MUCH AS I CAN INTO PLACE IN THE PARKING LOCATION. THEN WHEN I START THE CAR BACK UP THE POWER STEERING WORKS, THE INDICATORS ARE OFF AND THE CAR DRIVES FINE. I DO CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS AND THIS HAS NEVER BEEN A FACTOR AS THE FLUID LEVELS WERE ADEQUATE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES BUT LUCKILY MINE HAS NOT RESULTED IN A MAJORS INCIDENCE SO FAR. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE POPPED UP AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I'M EMBARRASSED TO SAY THAT MY DAD AND A COUPLE OF MY UNCLES HAD WORKED FOR THE GM PLANT IN LINDEN NJ. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, SHE WAS ALERTED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED DESPITE THE BRAKE PEDAL NOT BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE FUSE BOX AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE FUSES WAS COVERED IN WHAT LOOKED LIKE SOOT. IN ADDITION, A PORTION OF THE FUSE BOX WAS MELTED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,815.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 PONTIAC G6, THE BRAKE LAMPS GO OFF WHEN I ACTUALLY PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THEY WILL STAY ON OR SOMETIMES FLASH AT RANDOM TIMES THE ENTIRE TIME I DRIVE. IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND IT IS RELATED TO CORROSION ON THE BCM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME IN THIS CAR. PONTIAC HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL, THEIR WAY OF FIXING IT IS PUTTING DIELECTRIC GREASE ON THE CONNECTORS AND CALLING IT GOOD. IT WORKED FOR ME FOR ABOUT A YEAR, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED....WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH. FAULTY BRAKE LAMPS ARE AN EXTREME DANGER TO ANYONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT. WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON CAUSING CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR HAS ALREADY HAD THE DIELECTRIC GREASE PUT IN THE CONNECTOR BUT STILL MALFUNCTIONS. *TR

I READ YOUR ARTICLE TODAY REGARDING BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEMS WITH PONTIAC G6. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY G6 INTO THE DEALER TWICE FOR BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEMS. IN THE FIRST SCENARIO, MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH MY BATTERY. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT, MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THAT REPAIR. SINCE THE DEALER PERFORMED ALL REPAIRS, THERE IS A RECORD OF REPAIRS ON FILE. I STILL HAVE MY G6 TODAY. *TR

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. *TR

MY STEERING COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND IT WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEELS. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR STILL BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW TO HELP THE POWER STEERING TURN BACK ON. WHILE IN THE GARAGE, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A FEW VERY HARSH SHIFTS IN AND OUT OF GEAR WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO THE GARAGE. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE ISSUES STARTED BY THE CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY DISENGAGING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO IT THE CRUISE CONTROL COMES ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE. THAT WAS ALMOST A YEAR AGO. NOW, THE CRUISE CONTROL STARTS WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES ON WITH THE BRAKE IT STAYS ON APPROXIMATELY 11-12 SECONDS AND THE DISENGAGES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED. WHEN, THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ALWAYS COME ON. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SPRING OF 2012.I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICULAR TO GMC BEFORE AND I WAS TOLD THEIR WERE NO RECALLS AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF MY PROBLEMS BEFORE. BUT, IF I PAY THERE DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT THEY CAN REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT IT WOULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR. I WAS THEN INFORMED IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO JUST TRADE IT IN. I WAS APPALLED. *TR

STOPPED AT TRAFFIC INTERSECTION AND FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION, THEN TWO CHIMES ALERT ON DIC DISPLAY, WITH MESSAGE "POWER STEERING". ATTEMPTED TO STEER WHEEL BUT SIMPLY COULD NOT TURN. PUT CAR IN PARK, TURNED IGNITION OFF/ON. POWER STEERING RESUMED. WILL CONTACT DEALERSHIP TO BRING IN FOR SERVICE. ALREADY KNEW THERE WAS A RISK THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. ALSO NOTE THAT FOR PAST WEEK, BOTH MY WIFE AND I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMED MORE SLUGGISH - NO PLAY IN WHEEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SWITCH LANES AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 49,480.

I SMELLED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS AS I WALKED UP TO MY CAR. THE CHECK GAS CAP DISPLAY CAME ON. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND WARNING IS STILL DISPLAYED. THE SMELL OF GAS HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN AND SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE GAS TANK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOWEVER, NOBODY HAS FOUND THE EXACT CAUSE. SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN TO CHECK EVAPORATIVE SOLENOID, GASKETS, TUBING TO AND FROM TANK. I'VE DONE ALL AND THE ODOR CONTINUES TO WORSEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH SHORTED INTERNALLY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. .... UPDATED 02-20-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WOULD RANDOMLY TURN ON. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 02/21/2013 *JS

MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT RECENTLY. IT ALSO MAKES MY CAR SHAKE AND MAKE CLUNKING NOISES. IT IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP NOW, BUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL, I AM EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH I AM REFUSING TO DO. WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND THE ABSOLUTE DANGER OF THIS PROBLEM, IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS CAR IS NOT RECALLED AND COVERED BY PONTIAC. I WILL PAY A LAWYER FEE TO SUE PONTIAC BEFORE I PAY FOR REPAIRS CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED. ONE MONTH LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS SWITCHED BY THE DEALER A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN, THE POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON THE RADIO DISPLAY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CHIMES. IF I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. COMES ON WHEN MAKING HARD OR LIGHT TURNS. AT TIMES THE STEERING WILL LOCK UP. NEED TO RESTART THE CAR TO RELEASE IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I SEE THIS IS MAJOR PROBLEM THAT THESE CARS ARE HAVING YET I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE IT FIXED. WONDERING WHY THAT IS, STEERING LOSS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE EXPECTING A MAJOR N'OREASTER RIGHT NOW BUT I AM PLANNING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ASAP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION HAD TO BE STARTED THREE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OPERATE. A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALSO RECURRED SPORADICALLY WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR AN UNRELATED REPAIR AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKAGE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

WE STARTED SMELLING GAS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE 8-27-12 AND COULD NOT LOCATE THE GAS LEAK. THEN ON SUNDAY 8-26-12 MY DAUGHTER DROVE UP AND THE SMELL OF GAS WAS OVERWHELMING. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW GAS RUNNING THROUGH THE VENTS IN THE METAL SHIELD COVERING THE GAS TANK. THE CAR WAS PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. I DID A ONLINE SEARCH FOR A GAS LEAK FOR THE 2005 G6 AND COULD ONLY FIND REFERENCE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2007 AND LATER MODELS. I CALLED TWO GM DEALERS AND THEY SHOWED NO RECALLS ON THE 2005 MODEL FOR GAS LEAKS AND COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR TOTAL REPAIRS UNLESS I AGREED TO SPEND APPROX. $300 DOLLARS FOR AN INSPECTION. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND THEY REMOVED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND GAS TANK FROM OUR 2005 G6. I MADE A VIDEO OF THE GAS SETTING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP AND ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THEY CLEANED UP THE TANK, THEN DID A PRESSURE TEST WHICH SHOWED A CRACK IN THE ELBOW WHICH IS MADE ONTO THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE OLD FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS STILL A WORKING PART EXCEPT FOR THE CRACK WHICH I BELIEVE IS DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP. I MADE A VIDEO OF THE NEW FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AFTER ITS INSTALLATION AND I SEE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THE PART IS MADE. I ALSO HAVE THE OLD WORKING PART WITH A VIDEO OF WHERE THE CRACKED ELBOW IS LOCATED. ON 8-27-12 I SPENT $505.06 FOR THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, $44.82 IN SALES TAX AND $225 IN LABOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE NEW PART WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT THE OLD PART DID AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH A LEAK AGAIN. I FIND NO COMFORT IN KNOWING MY DAUGHTER COULD BE RIDING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD LITERALLY BE A BOMB. IF SOMEONE CHECKED THE FACTS, I THINK THIS PARTICULAR FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN USED FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND HAS ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS BUT WERE OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. HOW CONVENIENT! I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT BUYING GM MEANT MADE IN AMERICA. GUESS NOT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WALKED NEAR THE VEHICLE AND SMELLED GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT RECALL ON HER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

WHILE SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN, THE STEERING ALARM SOUNDED, AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN, I PROCEEDED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION, AND PULLED TO THE CURB. STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. AFTER CHECKING BELTS AND POWER STEERING FLUID, I RESTARTED ENGINE AND STEERING WAS FINE..A SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED TWO DAYS LATER, BUT LUCKILY I WAS IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. I TURNED OFF ENGINE, THEN RESTARTED AND STEERING WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. KNOWING THIS WILL LIKELY OCCUR AGAIN, POSSIBLY ON A CURVE, AT HIGH SPEED OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS, AND POSSIBLY DEADLY DEFECT. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR FIND OUT IF GM WILL FIX THEIR BLUNDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK AS ALWAYS. BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY HALF INTO THE TURN LANE AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP. MY RADIO SAID "POWER STEERING" AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE WHEEL WITHOUT NEARLY ALL OF MY WEIGHT ON IT. I LIVE ON A MAIN STREET SO CARS WERE COMING BY SWERVING TO MISS ME AT ABOUT 45 MPH. I WAS ALREADY HALF IN THE TURN LANE TO MAKE A U-TURN SO GETTING BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY SAFELY WASN'T AN OPTION. I WAS ABLE TO GET HELP TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE DRIVEWAY; WHEN I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN BACK ON THE LIGHT WAS GONE AND IT SEEMED FINE. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T RISK DRIVING IT TO WORK. KNOWING THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN RANDOMLY AT ANY MOMENT. DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM. I UNDERSTAND THAT DRIVING ISN'T ALL THAT SAFE TO START WITH. BUT IT'S THE OTHER CARS ON THE RODE I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING ME IN AN ACCIDENT NOT MY OWN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND REALIZED MY CAR BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ACROSS MY DASH AND RADIO STATING "POWER STEERING". I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY AND TURN OFF MY CAR TO RESET IT. I AM SO GLAD THAT A LITTLE KID OR SOMETHING DIDN'T RUN OUT IN FRONT OF ME AS I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STEER AROUND AN ACCIDENT. *TR

GM SPUTTER START. IF IT DOES START IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T START ON THE FIRST TRY AND SOMETIMES CATCHES AND SPUTTERS BEFORE IT STARTS. I HAVE TO KEEP THE GAS PUSHED SO IT WILL CATCH AND START. LIKE THE IDLE NEEDS ADJUSTED OR SOMETHING. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED, WITHOUT WARNING, LIGHT COMING ON. TURNING WHEELS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND I CAME TO A STOP SIGN. MY HOME IS ADJACENT TO THAT STOP SIGN, SO WHEN I MADE A RIGHT FROM THE STOP SIGN TO TURN LEFT IN MY DRIVEWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME. THE STREET I BECAME STUCK ON WAS 30 MPH, AND THERE WERE CARS DRIVING OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE CARS CAME TO HELP ME PUSH THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE SCREEN INSIDE THE CAR READ "POWER STEERING". I DID SEVERAL SEARCHES FOR THIS PART TO BE REPLACED; THEY WERE WELL OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS. I NEED HELP, AND I NEED MY CAR. I HAVEN'T HAD MY CAR FOR A FULL YEAR YET. *TR

WHERE DO I BEGIN!!! MY G6 I LOVE BUT APPARENTLY THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING GOES OUT. SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. ITS IS REALLY HARD TO TURN YOUR WHEEL, ON HIGHWAY TO GET OFF AN EXIT, PULL IN TO PARK SOMEWHERE, MAKE A TIGHT TURN, AND TRY AND PULL OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING SITUATION. I REALIZE ONE OF THE WAYS TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO GET IT FIX (OBVIOUSLY OUTRAGEOUS PRICE), OR JUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THAT SEEMS TO WORK. SO, APPARENTLY ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO GM REALIZED THIS "MANUFACTURE DEFECT/RECALL" BUT NOT A SAFETY RECALL? I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT BUT YOU KNOW HOW BIG COMPANIES ARE NEVER WANT TO BE ACCOUNTABLE. OK, SO IN 2010 I RECEIVE THIS LETTER FROM GM ABOUT THIS LOSS OF POWER STEERING BUT IN THE LETTER REMINDER IT STATES "THE VEHICLE CAN STILL BE STEERED IN A SAFE MANNER BUT WILL REQUIRE GREATER DRIVER EFFORT AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED." OK SO WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY??? I WORK ALOT AND HAVE TO TRAVEL, AND FOR PERSONAL REASONS I TRAVEL A GOOD BIT. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY WHEN THIS DEFECT OCCURS EITHER SOMEONE WITH ME TO GUIDE ME THROUGH IT OR FOR SOME REASON THE HIGHWAY IS NON BUSY AND I CAN PULL OVER (REMINDER 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL WITH NO POWER STEERING USING ALL MY ARM STRENGTH TO PULL OVER) OK, SO AGAIN THIS GM LETTER, SO OK COURSE AFTER TRYING TO JUMP SOME HOOPS I DON'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS REPAIR TO FIX BY GM AT THEIR COST. THAT LETTER STATES VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 100,000MILES..YEA OK, ME I TRAVEL!!! CRAZY SO I COMPLAIN WHY NOT RIGHT. SO, 2 YEARS PASS RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GM AGAIN ABOUT THIS "POWER STEERING ISSUE" NOW 150,000ML..AGAIN!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 30 MPH I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO DOWN SHIFT VERY HARD AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV EXTREMELY HIGH AND WHEN IT WENT TO SHIFT UP IT SHIFTED SO HARD IT SEEMED THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT. THIS WAS ALSO FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. SINCE THIS INCIDENT THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND BUT NOT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. NOR IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS ON. I ALSO HAVE TROUBLE SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND TRYING TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM IGNITION. I HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH TO GET THE CAR INTO PARK TO REMOVE MY KEY. ON MOST OCCASIONS WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND GO TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WILL REV REALLY HIGH AND I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT. *JB

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY CAR WILL CHIME ONCE AND A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ABOUT MY POWER STEERING. I WILL LOSE MY POWER STEERING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OVER OFF THE ROAD. IT HAS ALSO CHIMED AND A MESSAGE WILL COME ON ABOUT SERVICING THE AIR BAGS. AFTER THE AIR BAG MESSAGE, THE SECURITY PADDLELOCK WILL COME ON AND MY CAR WILL BASICALLY SHUT DOWN. I WILL LOSE MY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND STEER THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STOPPED AND SHUT OFF, IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. I HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR AT LEAST 20 TO 25 MINUTES AND THEN I CAN RESTART IT. SOMETIMES IT WILL RUN FINE FOR WEEKS, AND OTHER TIMES SUCH AS YESTERDAY, IT CONTINUED EVERY TIME I DROVE IT. I JUST HAD NUMEROUS LARGE REPAIR BILLS AND I HAVE NO MORE MONEY TO FIX THIS MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS AND PROVIDED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 184,000.

2005 PONTIAC G6 MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING/POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. HAD IT CHECKED AT SEARS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RACK AND PINION STEERING AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONE YEAR AGO, SHE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 ( EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT THEY DENIED HER REQUEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED ON HER VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

MY CAR WILL TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED AND THEN IT WILL DISABLE THE MOTOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS CAN HAPPEN UP TO SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT DID IT TO ME 5 TIMES IN A SPAN OF A HALF HOUR TODAY. IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS WHEN THERE ARE CARS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE IF THEY ARE GOING TO REALIZE THAT I CAN'T MOVE. IT IS ESPECIALLY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS AT A STOPSIGN OR STOPLIGHT. *TR

DRIVING MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. VERY SCARY AND HARD TO CONTROL. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS? *JS

MY DAUGHTER WAS AT A STOPLIGHT GETTING READY TO TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE COULDN'T TURN IT AT ALL. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMED FINE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME IN FEBRUARY 2012. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER AS HAVING A POWER STEERING ASSIST ISSUE. THE CAR HAD 120,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME SO WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 'SPECIAL COVERAGE' GM HAS FOR THE STEERING ISSUE. WE DID HAVE THE CAR FIXED BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR HER TO DRIVE. IT COST $684. *JS

HAD CAR FIXED WITH DEALERSHIP FROM A RECALL INVOLVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY IN 2009. RECENTLY THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAS BEEN OCCURRING, IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL ISSUE. I.E. BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHILE DRIVING AND DO NOT FUNCTION WHILE BRAKING. WHEN BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS IT WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE RECALL AND IS PROBABLY ANOTHER ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL ISSUE AND WANT ME TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN SENSOR. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY SHIFTING IN PARK, DRIVE, AND REVERSE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS SOMETIMES UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RECOGNIZED AS BEING IN THE PARKED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SHIFT CABLES WERE LOOSE . UPDATED 05/22/12

THE CAR BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN TURNING THE CAR. THE CAR BECOMES HARD TO KEEP UNDER CONTROL. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2010 FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD SON. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. VEHICLE LOST STEERING POWER PULLING WHEN MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY TODAY. MY SON JUST CONFIRMED THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT HADN'T SHARED THAT WITH US BEFORE TODAY. ALTHOUGH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS APPEAR ON RECORD, WITH RESEARCH CONCLUDING THERE IS A PROBLEM, WE DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF A SAFETY ISSUE, AND NO FORMAL RECALL EXISTS. FOR A NEWER DRIVER, THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. PLEASE CONSIDER INSTITUTING NOTIFICATION OF ISSUES TO ALL VEHICLES TRANSFERRING TO A NEW OWNER, AND ADDING AN OFFICIAL RECALL ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. WE WILL PURSUE SERVICE REGARDLESS OF THE RECALL FOR PERSONAL SAFETY. *TR *JS

THIS MORNING I WOKE UP AND DECIDED TO GO TO BREAKFAST, LUCKILY I WAS IN THE DRIVE THROUGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS TURNING TO GO THROUGH THE PAYING WINDOW AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT CAME BACK. WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT YOU CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL KNOW MATTER HOW STRONG YOU ARE. I WAS LUCKY... LUCKILY I WASN'T TAKING AN EXIT OR TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE READ A BUNCH OF POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR WHICH IS AN 05 PONTIAC G6 GT, AND EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT GM DOESN'T SEE THIS AS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A PRETTY BAD ACCIDENT IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT WENT OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN SITTING IDLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT SPECIFY THE FAILURE BUT ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE LIMIT AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY STARTING AND EXHIBITED A DECREASE IN THE FUEL EFFICIENCY. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND FILED A CLAIM ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,655.

MY G6 SPORADICALLY WOULD LOOSE POWER STEERING AND LOCK UP COMPLETELY, I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL. LUCKILY, IT HAPPENED AT A STOP SIGN OR A SIDE STREET, I COULD SHUT OFF MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. AS WELL AS, LOSS OF POWER STEERING MY CAR WOULD JERK TO THE LEFT WHILE MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS. NEITHER OF THESE TWO THINGS WERE CONSISTENT BUT SCARY NONETHELESS. MY FAMILY AND I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MY CAR HAD A NOTICE ON IT TO HAVE THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED FOR FREE BY THE DEALERSHIP. 11/30/11 IS WHEN WE TOOK MY CAR THE DEALERSHIP HAD HAD IT FIXED. I DROVE IT FOR ROUGHLY TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 12/14/11. I WAS MERGING FROM I-29 N TO 36 E GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAD JUST MERGED INTO THE RIGHT LANE WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT; I TRIED TO CORRECT THE CAR AND LOST CONTROL. I SPUN AND FLIPPED MY CAR ONTO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE WEST BOUND TRAFFIC PASSING LANE. MY CAR LANDED UPSIDE DOWN ON ITS ROOF. IT WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE! I WAS LUCKY I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND I DIDN'T HIT ANY OTHER CARS. I SUFFERED A HAND INJURY BUT MOSTLY AM JUST REALLY SHAKEN UP AND FULLY BELIEVE THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL!! *KB

I'VE HAD MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THE POWER STEERING FIXED IMMEDIATELY SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE WEATHER WAS WARMER MY G6 WAS FINE. BUT IN THE WINTER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND STOPPED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CONFIRMED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,021.

MY SON WAS TRAVELING HOME AND DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. DUE TO RECENT SHOULDER SURGERY IN DECEMBER, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN CONTROL, HE PLACED PRESSURE ON THE SHOULDER AND SAFELY GOT THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD. DUE TO THE PRESSURE ON THE SHOULDER, HE WAS TAKEN TO THE ORTHOPEDIC CENTER TO HAVE HIS SHOULDER EXAMINED FOR ADDITIONAL INJURY. AFTER REVIEWING OVER 132 COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE RECALLS THAT WERE MADE FOR THE 2005 PONTIAC G5 BUT NOT THE 2005 PONTIAC G6. MY WIFE AND I ARE VERY DISTRAUGHT THAT THE G6 WAS NOT PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT OUR SON WAS SO CLOSE TO LOSING HIS LIFE. WE PURCHASED THE PRE-OWNED VEHICLE IN MAY 2011. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH BODILY INJURIES AND/OR DEATH, WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE GM MANUFACTURE TO DETERMINE WHY THE PONTIAC G6 WAS NOT PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST. WE ONLY WANT THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED TO ENSURE THAT OUR SON IS DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE ARE REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED MOVING BY ITS SELF, JERKING BACK AND FORTH. THEN ALL POWER STEERING WENT OUT OF MY CAR MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER MY CAR. THANK GOODNESS, I DID NOT HAVE ANY SHARP TURNS TO MAKE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT GM IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. *TR

THE STEERING ON MY CAR WENT OUT AS I WAS GOING TO TURN ON A BUSY STREET. LUCKILY I WAS BARELY PICKING UP SPEED. BUT IF THIS HAD NOT BEEN THE CASE I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE STANDING ON THE CORNER OR EVEN TRAFFIC LIGHT POST. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. EXCEPT THE BEEPING AND THEN THE STEERING GOING OUT. AFTER THE STEERING WENT OUT IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, I HAD TO GET HELP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIX. I'VE READ THAT THIS HAS ALSO HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE AND SOME EVEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED OR THEY CAN KILL SOMEONE!! THIS HAS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! THE CAR IS UNDER MY HUSBANDS NAME, BUT I'M THE PRIMARY DRIVER. *TR

I NOTICED THAT WHEN TRYING TO PARK MY VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF UNTIL YOU ARE GOING MORE THAN 20 MPH. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH AND WHEN I WENT INTO A CURVE THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AND I ALMOST RAN INTO THE DITCH AND HIT A MAIL BOX. LUCKILY, I MISSED BOTH OF THEM BUT PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY SHOULDER TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY 3 POINT TURN TURNED INTO A 8 POINT TURN. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON THE SCREEN FLASHING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND THE COMPANY IS SUED, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I'M SEEING THIS REPORTED QUITE OFTEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND REGAINED POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING COLUMN WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE YELLOW LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. SHE HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES THIS WEEK. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2005 AND 2006 G6 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSISTS. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND I WAS TAKING THEM TO SCHOOL WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF WE WERE ON THE MAIN ROAD AND I WAS GOING A LITTLE FASTER. I NOTICED THAT YOU DID AN INVESTIGATION AND CLOSED IT BACK IN 2007. WELL I BOUGHT MY G6 A YEAR AGO AND DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL 70,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR SYSTEM FAILURES EVEN AFTER RUNNING A CARFAX REPORT. THIS IS NOT AN EARLY LIFE PROBLEM AS MY G6 HAS 114,500 MILES ON IT. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX WITH A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF THIS WAS A CHEAP PROBLEM TO FIX, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT $800 TO $1,000 TO FIX. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. *KB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHEN DRIVING TO WORK MY POWER STEERING FAILED, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER THANK GOD. MY DASH LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF AS WELL AS FUSES KEEP BLOWING. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE G5 AND G8 FOR THE POWER STEERING AND I ALSO KNOW OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE WRECKS. *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT, MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A STEERING COLUMN NOTICE SHOWING ON THE RADIO DASH COLUMN. I THOUGHT IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. IT DIDN'T. I WAITED ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN TO SEE IF THE ISSUE HAD RESOLVED ITSELF. (THIS ALSO HAPPENS WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. SOMETIMES IN THE EARLIER MORNING WHEN IT IS COLD, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL APPEAR UPON FIRST TURNING THE VEHICLE ON. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARS.) I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT EVERYTHING WOULD COST ABOUT $800 + TAX TO FIX. MY HUSBAND STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE TO SEE WHAT OTHER OWNERS WERE SAYING. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THAT JUST ABOUT 90% OF FOLKS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STEERING COLUMN, THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND IS NOT LISTING A RECALL. WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, OF COURSE THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE THE REPAIRS THEY HAVE COMPLETED ON STEERING COLUMNS WERE MINIMAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY CAR, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPLACED TWICE.THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE GREASED ONCE. EVERY YEAR MY BRAKES ARE BEING REPLACED, AND ABOUT TWICE A YEAR, ONE OF THE TWO IF NOT BOTH TIE RODS NEED REPLACED. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR FOUR KEY FOBS. MY TRUNK LEAKS WATER. MY FRONT HEAD LIGHT NEEDED REPLACED AS IT LEAKED WATER. NOT CHEAP. I CAN GO ON AN ON WITH THE REPAIRS BUT HAVE REACHED MY "CHARACTER LIMIT". I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON. WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN TO SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY, BUT DEALERSHIP IS NO HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A SAFE LOCATION AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES; HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING RESET AFTER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,800.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNTIL I PUSH MY BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, THEN THEY TURN OFF. MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOW WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO UNTIL MY BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. *TR

WHILE ON THE ROAD, MY '05 PONTIAC G6 HAS MORE THAN A FEW TIMES LOST ITS POWER STEERING, AS I WAS INFORMED BY THE COMPUTER ON MY DASH. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES. I HAVE READ ONLINE IN PUBLIC THREADS AND FORUMS THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE AND GM HAS STILL NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF AT LEAST 14 REPORTED CRASHES THAT HAVE OCCURRED FROM THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO GM AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTICS FEE AS WELL AS PARTS AND LABOR TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE I DID NOT BREAK ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING WRONG. IF A RECALL IS NOT ISSUED I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST BE COVERED FOR ANY WORK THAT WOULD FIX THE STEERING. OR WORST CASE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE OPTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. WHEN IN MY RADIO SHOW UP POWER STEERING. MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME SO HARD AND I ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I TRIED TO PUT OIL BUT I DIDN'T FIND THE RESERVE TANK!! THEN I SEARCH IN THE INTERNET AND THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRICAL AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SAME SITUATION. I CALL THE GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY NEVER HEARD ANY OTHER CASE!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!! THEY SHOULD SEE ALL THE COMPLAINS ABOUT IT AND ALSO THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM AND IS NOT FAIR THAT THE CLIENT HAVE TO PAY 4 SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T CAUSE!! I COULD GET KILLED FOR THIS SITUATION!!! WHY NO ONE WANT TO HELP US WITH THESE PROBLEM??? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND ABOVE, THE STEERING WOULD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE UNLESS IT FAILED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE INTERSTATE DRIVING MADE THE CAR DANGEROUSLY DIFFICULT TO STEER. *TR

MY 2005 G6 BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON 24/7 VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK. I CANNOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE POSITION OF THE PEDAL IS AFFECTING EVERYTHING. IT'S UNSAFE! THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY $300.25 TO REPLACE THE BCM. NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG BUT WHAT THEY STATE IN THE RECALL PAPERS. WHY DO I HAVE TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY RECALLED?? *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR SPORADICALLY AND IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALSO SEIZE WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SENSOR FAILURE AND THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 132,557.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND TURN OFF WHEN IT IS. CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T FUNCTION WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2005 G6 MODELS BUT MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS) AND WAS REPAIRED. TWO YEARS LATER, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED AND WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THEY WERE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 98,000.

MY CAR HAS LOST POWER STEERING DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. 2005 PONTIAC G6 HAS A SPECIAL WARRANTY ON ITS POWER STEERING DUE TO PROBLEM. TSB (10183) READS: GENERAL MOTORS IS PROVIDING OWNERS WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST CAUSED BY ELECTRICAL INPUT SIGNALS WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS ON YOUR 2005-2006 MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 VEHICLE WITHIN 10 YEARS OF THE DATE YOUR VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE OR 100,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, THE CONDITION WILL BE REPAIRED FOR YOU AT NO CHARGE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A TECHNICIAN HE INFORMED ME THAT MY POWER STEERING MOTOR/MODULE WAS FAULTY, BUT COULDN'T TELL ME IF FAILURE FROM INPUT SIGNALS WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM OR NOT. DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE MOTOR AND SAYS IT IS NOT WARRANTIED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. HOWEVER, IF HE CANNOT ASCERTAIN THAT FAULTY INPUT SIGNALS HAD CAUSED THE CONDITION IN THE POWER STEERING MOTOR THEN HOW CAN HE NOT WARRANTY THIS PART SINCE THE BULLETIN SAYS IT COVERS THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING? *TR

IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT, MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME A TOTAL OF ABOUT 4 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND MY WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I WAS SCARED OUT OF MY MIND AND HAD TO FIND A WAY TO YIELD TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. ONCE I TURNED IT OFF THAN BACK ON IT WORKED. *KB

2005 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING ELECTRIC MOTOR FAILURE. THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY QUITS WORKING. THE STEERING RANDOMLY LOCKS UP AT ANY SPEED, CAUSING HUGE POTENTIAL RISK OF A CRASH. GM HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES UNDER 100,000 MILES ONLY. WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE WITH MORE THAN 100,000 MILES? THIS NEEDS AN OFFICIAL RECALL! *TR

PURCHASED MY G6 5/2011 WITH 34K MILES. AT 45K, SLIGHT 'CLUNK' NOISES BEGAN WHILE STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. GRADUALLY GOT WORSE. THIS VEHICLE HAS MAJOR STEERING ISSUES THAT CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY FIXED ACCORDING TO MECHANICS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD TO KEEP THIS 'ON THE HUSH' BY GM. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS RECALLED VEHICLES FROM OTHER BRANDS FOR SAFETY BASED ON THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, HAS NOT RECALLED THE PONTIAC'S FOR REASONS UNKNOWN. MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE BRAND IS DEAD - SO MUCH FOR GM SUPPORT OF THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM DISCOURAGED BECAUSE I LOVE MY G6, BUT DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AND AM FORCED TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN A CAR THAT IS OTHERWISE QUITE SAFE. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM, AND THAT IS SAD BEING THE SON OF A GM RETIREE OF 35 YEARS OF SERVICE. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED SOON, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GM VEHICLE AGAIN. I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE A BRAND-NEW BUICK LACROSSE, BUT NOW HAVE TO WAIT TO HEAR WHAT GM WILL DO ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN SELL MY G6. IF I WILL BE FORCED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR (WHICH WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE, IT WILL COME BACK), I WILL BE D***ED IF I'M GOING TO DROP $40K ON A NEW GM AUTOMOBILE. WHERE IS THE COMMITMENT TO SAFETY? NOT AT GM. APPROX. 52K MILES - NOTICED STEERING CLUNKING WORSENING, CAR BEGAN MAJOR STEERING DRIFT & DRAG ISSUES. BEGAN TO BE HARD TO KEEP CAR CENTERED ON THE ROAD. REPLACED TIRES & ALIGNMENT TO NO AVAIL. PROBLEM IS SAID TO BE WITH STEERING. NEXT, VEHICLE BEGAN TO 'TAKE' THE STEERING WHEEL AWAY FROM ME WHILE DRIVING. WHILE TURNING, WHEEL WILL UNEXPECTEDLY JERK AND TURN ITSELF. HAVE EXPERIENCED THE WHEEL TURNING ITSELF FULL 90-DEGREES IMMEDIATELY AS I BEGIN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT. HAVE ALMOST NAILED CARS NEXT TO MINE BECAUSE OF THIS. HAVE TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF THE ISSUE AT ALL TIMES. AT 58K MILES, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN AROUND IN A SMALL PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE ROAD. TURNED IN, AND THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT - SENDING ME THROUGH A FENCE AND INTO A CEMENT BARRIER. THANKS A LOT GM. *TT

2005 PONTIAC G6 ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST MOTOR. MY POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR HAS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING REPEATEDLY, LOCKING MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHILE STOPPED. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS) BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD BECOME STUCK IN PARK. THE DEALER DENIED ANY OTHER ASSISTANCE WITH THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH A LIVE PERSON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF THAT HAS 5 OPTIONS (0-CLOSED, 4 COMPLETELY OPEN). PERIODICALLY THE SUNROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE TO THE CORRECT NUMBERED OPTION, BUT WOULD GO TO THE CORRECT SPOT AFTER ANOTHER TRY. NOW, IT WILL NOT CLOSE PAST THE SECOND OPTION. NOW, MY SUNROOF IS STUCK OPEN AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $1500! I DON'T WANT TO PAY THAT MUCH MONEY FOR A SUNROOF SO MY MECHANIC IS GOING TO TRY TO SHUT IT AND DISABLE THE MECHANISM. ALL THE USED PARTS MY MECHANIC TRIED LOOKING INTO ARE REPORTING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE BRAKE LAMPS. WHILE USING MY BRAKES I DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LAMPS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. ALSO, THE BRAKE LAMPS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT APPLIED. I CALLED GM DEALER AND THEY INDICATED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX IT UNTIL THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. WHEN I EXPLAINED IT IS THE SAME CONDITION AS RECALL# 09V036000 THEY JUST KEPT TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. GM NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO ALL PONTIAC G6 VEHICLE, NOT JUST THOSE MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2005. *TR

WE OWN A 05 PONTIAC G6. THIS VEHICLE HAS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WHEN THE SENSOR IS HAVING ISSUES, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE. MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH IS THEN THE SENSOR CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHT TO WORK IN REVERSE. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS GO OFF, WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, THE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SENSORS REPLACED AND NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THE "FIX" IS THE ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. THIS ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT IS ONLY GOOD FOR A FEW MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A HALF[XXX] "FIX". WE HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL "FORMER" PONTIAC DEALERS ONLY TO HAVE BEEN TOLD WE ARE "OUT OF LUCK". THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, IF YOU DEPRESS YOUR BRAKES AND NO LIGHTS COME ON IT COULD LEAD TO A REAR-END COLLISION.THANKFULLY THIS LAST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS WARNED OF THIS EVENT BY A GAL WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND HIM. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DRINKING. HE WAS TOLD THAT A CHARACTERISTIC OF A DRUNK DRIVER IS THAT THEY "RIDE THEIR BRAKES". GM NEEDS TO GET THIS CORRECTED!! IT IS NOT SAFE. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND WHO DRIVES 50 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK EVERYDAY. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATING TRADING IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE OF THIS AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THE G6. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE WE GOT IT BETWEEN THIS BRAKE ISSUE, A "CLUNKING" NOISE WHEN TURNING (WHICH WE WERE TOLD IS "NOTHING" FROM OUR FORMER PONTIAC DEALERS) AND THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF LEAKING AND NOISE ISSUES, WHICH AS WELL WE WERE TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT. (WE HAD STANDING WATER IN THE VEHICLE W/ THE LEAKS) THIS BRAKE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT!!!! WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CRAPPY SERVICE AND LACK OF CARE IN GETTING THIS VEHICLE RECALLED. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE??? I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ADDRESSING THIS SAME THING. I WOULD IMPLORE NHTSA TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TODAY WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT MY POWER STEERING FAILED. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DIC AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I MANAGED TO TURN THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT. I SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND RE-STARTED AND THE POWER STEERING BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR THE FAILURE, BUT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT HAS THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST POWER STEERING. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED NEARLY A DOZEN NEAR ACCIDENTS AS THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT FAILS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING, THE WHEEL LOCKS UP AND BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN. IT HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK AND HAS DONE SO FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN BRINGING IN THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP, THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE RESETS THE ISSUE, AND THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN IGNORED BY PONTIAC SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JANUARY 2005. NO DEALER I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HAS BEEN ABLE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK WHEN MAKING A PARTIAL TURN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HER TO LUBE THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY LUBING THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. WITHIN THREE MONTHS THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO LOCK AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THREE DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM INDIANAPOLIS, 350 MILES FROM HOME, RETURNING FROM TRAINING FOR MY NEW JOB. IT WAS RAINING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, IT FELT AS IF MY CAR WAS ON ICE, I COULDN'T CONTROL IT AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. WHEN I PULLED OVER, I NOTICED THAT MY FRONT TIRES WERE BALD, I BOUGHT THEM BRAND NEW TWO WEEKS PRIOR. AFTER DRIVING CAREFULLY HOME, I TOOK IT INTO SERVICE. COMES TO FIND OUT THAT MY WHOLE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH MY 2 FRONT TIRES. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, MY STEERING GEAR BOX AND EVERYTHING WAS CRACKED OR BROKEN IN HALF??? I APOLOGIZE THIS ISN'T VERBATIM. I HAVE READ ALL THESE COMMENTS AND COMPLAINTS, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT ANYONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE REALLY HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS TAKEN CARE OF? ALSO, I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM GM ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS ABOUT THIS AND THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE NO RECALLS FOR THIS. I ALSO JUST ROLLED 100K MILES, SO IF THERE WERE TO BE ANYTHING THAT GM WERE TO DO ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS TOO LATE NOW. THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $900. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WAS FRIDAY THE 13TH.... I CERTAINLY PRAY THAT NO ONE LOSES THEIR LIFE OVER THE STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY SINCE PONTIAC IS NO LONGER AND GM TOOK THE BAILOUT MONEY. GLAD THEY CAN DO THAT AND PAY THEIR BILLS. THIS REPAIR MEANS MY FAMILY DOESN'T GET REAL FOOD FOR A BIT.... *TR

CONSTANT CLUNKING IN STEERING COLUMN. THERE'S ALSO PLENTY OF "PLAY" AND DRIFTING WHILE DRIVING. OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AND HAVE CLAIMED NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM IT CONSISTENTLY COMES BACK. BOUGHT THIS CAR TO MAKE 1000 MILE TRIPS BUT AM NOW TO SCARED TO TAKE IT FAR FROM HOME OR ON THE INTERSTATE. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR. *TR

THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. CAR IS OVER 70,000 AND IS OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. I'VE HEARD MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND I'VE CALLED AROUND TO OTHER MECHANICS TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. *TR

FIRST PROBLEM, THE EXTERIOR REAR TAIL BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION WELL. I DID FIND THE RECALL AND DID TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST EVEN AFTER CHANGING OUT THE DEFECTED PART. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SECOND PROBLEM, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND SERVICE LIGHT, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNS TO "NORMAL". I HAVE SEEN ON DIFFERENT FORUM OF COMPLAINT THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND DEATHS. THIS PROBLEM EXIST AND NOT ONLY IN MY VEHICLE BUT IN MANY OTHER OF THE SAME MAKE. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMING DIFFICULT TO STEER MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY ANGRY BECAUSE EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF SAFETY ISSUES WITH IT, AND AS A STUDENT ATTENDING COLLEGE IT IS EXTREMELY AN INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE THREE YEARS PAYING THE CAR AND HAVE ONE YEAR TO GO, THIS SO UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE AS FAR AS ALL THE REVIEWS THE PROBLEM IS NEVER TAKEN CARE OF WHICH WOULD MEAN I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAILURES EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE PART WOULD POTENTIALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY TWELVE MONTHS DUE TO THE QUALITY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BUSHINGS ALSO NEEDED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILANLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

2005 PONTIAC G6 - WATER POURS FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SPLASHING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND DRIVER WHICH IS AS UNEXPECTED AS A CHILD RUNNING IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE. THE SUDDEN DOWNPOUR MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY LOOK UP TO SEE WHERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM.. NOBODY WAS INJURED IN MY INCIDENT HOWEVER, THE WATER IS COMING FROM THE DRAIN TUBES FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR WHICH HAVE A TENDANCY TO BECOME DISCONNECTED. I AM TOLD THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD BUT A DRIVER DOES NOT EXPECT TO BE SUDDENLY SOAKED BY WATER WHEN DRIVING A CAR AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO BECOME RECKLESS WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY TO A VEHICLE OR A PERSON IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY HAZARD. OTHER THAN THE SAFETY HAZARD THAT IT IS, IT ALSO CAUSES THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR TO BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED FROM MOLD AND/OR MILDEW NEEDING COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERS ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT YET I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TWICE AND BECAUSE IT WASN'T LEAKING AT THE TIME, THE COULD NOT SEE A PROBLEM. MIND YOU THE BACK FLOORBOARD AND SEAT WERE COMPLETELY SOAKED FROM 8 GALLONS OF WATER WHICH HAD BEEN SUCKED OUT OF THE CAR PRIOR TO DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, A POWER STEERING CHIME WOULD SOUND AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH SOME SENSORS NEAR THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING AND TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR A FREE REPAIR; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT HE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS THE TITLE WAS BRANDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

MY WIFE'S 2005 PONTIAC G6 HAS SOME VERY BAD STEERING PROBLEMS. THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT AND THE COST IS UNREAL TO FIX. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THERE POOR DESIGN. I JUST DON'T WANT MY WIFE AND LITTLE GIRL GETTING HURT OR EVEN KILLED OVER A BAD DESIGN ON A CAR THAT SHE REALLY LOVES. *TR

ACCORDING TO RECALL #08317 BY GENERAL MOTORS, THE BRAKE LAMPS ON A 2005 PONTIAC G6 WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY DUE TO FRETTING CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR WITHIN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO VAN CHEVROLET OF KANSAS CITY, MO TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD DUE TO THE FRETTING CORROSION THE BCM NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THIS DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE BCM WITHOUT A FEE AND REFUSED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE SHOP WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING DEFECTIVE. THIS WOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED IF NOT FOR THE FRETTING CORROSION AS STATED BY THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE. GENERAL MOTORS AND ANY GM DEALERSHIPS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. UPDATED IVOQ 04/26/11 *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND MY STEERING WENT OUT, I HAD NO MORE POWER STEERING, I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND ON AGAIN THEN IT WORKED OK, LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN ABOUT A 10 MILE STRETCH IT TOOK FOREVER TO WORK AGAIN, I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I HEAR THEIR ARE MORE INCIDENTS RELATED TO MINE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RECALL BUT PONTIAC SAYS IT IS NOT! SO WHY ARE THEIR SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR CAR? I HEARD THAT THE 2007 MODELS WENT BACK TO A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, NOT LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEARS THAT HAVE ELECTRIC STEERING.

I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. SINCE PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. I RECENTLY REPLACED THE WHOLE COLUMN (ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO) AND IT IS AGAIN MAKING CLUNKING NOISES. A CAR EXPERT FRIEND WHO DROVE THE CAR YESTERDAY NOTED THAT IT SEEMS TO BOTH DRAG AND HAVE TOO MUCH 'PLAY'. THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AT 110,000 MILES AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM. *TR

BOTH THE DRIVER & REAR PASSENGER HAVE WATER DAMAGE DUE TO A FAULTY MFGD SUNROOF. IT LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS AND WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY SAID THAT THEY CANNOT COVER THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE FOR THE VEHICLE INSPECTION. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILS. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON (SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES) BEFORE THE POWER STEERING COMES BACK. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SOMETIMES "JERKY". THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEMS COME AND GO. *TR

I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AND UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR TURN, AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE EXACT SAME EPS SYSTEM WAS RECALLED ON THE G5'S BUT GM HAS NOT RECALLED ON THE G6'S. THE REPAIR IS NOT MINOR - UPWARDS OF $1000. *TR

FOR PAST SIX MONTHS, MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND BACK SLIGHTLY WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. CAR HAS LOW MILES (NOW AT 21,525). HOWEVER, I HEARD A SEVERE SQUEAL/GRINDING WHEN PULLING MY CAR OUT FROM PARKING SPACE. I TOOK THE CAR TO GM DEALERSHIP . DEALER INFORMED ME THAT BOTH FRONT AND REAR ROTORS NEED TO BE RESURFACED. REAR BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED AS WELL. DECIDED TO DO ALL PADS, RESURFACE ALL ROTORS. BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN REPORTED ELSEWHERE ON INTERNET, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE G6 BRAKE SYSTEM, OR, OEM ROTORS THAT WERE INSTALLED. *TR

2005 PONTIAC G6 V6 POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. *LN

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2008. IN JULY OF 2008 I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING OPPOSITE, CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AS INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAD A NEW BODY CONTROL MODULE PUT IN MY CAR AND IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL NOVEMBER OF 2010 WHEN I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AGAIN. IN DECEMBER OF 2010 MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED WORKING OPPOSITE AGAIN AS WELL AS FLASHING WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN HARASSED BY OTHER MOTORISTS WHO I HAVE GOTTEN MAD BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHER MOTORISTS CANNOT TELL IF IM BRAKING. I HAVE CALLED GM THIS WEEK AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE WORK I HAD DONE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. SURPRISING. I HAVE DONE SOME HOMEWORK AND LOOKED UP THE 2005 PONTIAC G6 PROBLEMS AND IT SHOWS ONLY A SMALL MAJORITY OF THESE CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. MINE WAS NOT ON THIS LIST. WHY? I HAVE ALSO FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT THAT I PURCHASED IN 2005. AROUND 2007 WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE POWER STEERING "LOCK-UP". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED AND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. I REGULARLY MAINTAIN MY CAR AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. IN THE LAST YEAR THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE (HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES LAST YEAR AND AGAIN THIS MORNING) AND I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT IT IS "EASIER" TO FILE A LAW SUIT THAN FOR THEM TO RECALL THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY INCONSIDERATE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. WHAT HAPPENS IS, THE "POWER STEERING" LIGHT COMES ON ACROSS THE RADIO, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH SHOWS ON THE DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. THE CAR THEN HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO RE-GAIN CONTROL. *TR

POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MESSAGE CENTER, CHIMES HEARD AND THEN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6. EVERYTIME I TURN ON THE VEHICLE THE MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN I AM DRIVING, AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER A LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING THIS. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON PONTIAC G6 OWNER BLOGS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO GM DEALER ON 12/5/10 AS HAVE NOTICED A KNOCKING/STICKING IN THE STEERING WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE HAD 2 STEERING GEAR REPLACEMENTS. HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE IS OFTEN HARD TO TURN. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON 12/13/10, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE WARNING LIGHT CHIMED AND LIT UP ON THE CONSOLE, THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" CAME UP ON THE SCREEN DISPLAY, AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH. I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I TRIED TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND ASSURED ME THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BARELY BE TURNED WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR

I HAVE PURCHASED BOTH BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS EVERY 8-10 MONTHS. I USUALLY TRY TO GO LONGER BECAUSE IT GETS TO BE EXPENSIVE. IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. IT STARTS WITH A PULSATION OR "BUMPING" WHEN I BRAKE, EVEN GENTLY, USUALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE OLD PADS, THEY WERE HARDLY WORN DOWN. ONCE I TRIED RESURFACING THE ROTORS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP; I HAD TO BUY NEW ONES ONLY TO FIND THAT THESE TOO SOON WORE DOWN AND WARPED. I HAVEN'T FOUND A REMEDY. MANY OTHERS IN AUTO FORUMS AND ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS, SUGGESTING THAT IT IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TWO MONTHS AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A POWER STEERING ISSUE THAT MAY OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH ONE MONTH LATER WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER AFTER THE CRASH OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,813.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON NOVEMBER 7, 2010 WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE SERVICE STATION THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. SHE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE GEAR AND MOVED THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM THE FUEL TANKS. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN THE POWER STEERING RESET ITSELF, THE VEHICLE BEGAN FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 154,023.

THIS PAST SATURDAY, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND SUDDENLY (AND WITHOUT WARNING), MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AND THAT CLEARED UP THE PROBLEM FOR THE MOMENT, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME OF THE PROBLEM, THAT BY THEY WAY, GM WAS WELL AWARE OF. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, EVEN THOUGH GM HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS (THE G5 AND COBALT FOR EXAMPLE) FOR THE SAME ISSUE, POWER STEERING ASSIST, THEY BLOCKED THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION FROM RECALLING THE G6 MODELS, AND INSTEAD, ISSUED A "SPECIAL POLICY" THAT COVERS VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. IN MY CASE, MY CAR IS OVER THE MILEAGE, THOUGH UNDER THE 10 YEARS. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM OR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ADVISING ME OF THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE. AND NOW BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE MILEAGE THAT THEY CLEVERLY SET, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR (BETWEEN $700 AND $800). I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM WOULD RECALL SOME VEHICLES WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT OTHERS. I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO TREAT LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT. GM NEEDS TO RETHINK THEIR STRATEGY AND AIM TO KEEP ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND SAFE. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL CARS AFFECTED BY THIS AND ISSUE REFUNDS TO ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TODAY, THERE ARE A LOT OF ANGRY, WORRIED CUSTOMERS JUST LIKE ME AND THAT IS REALLY UNFORTUNATE. I LOVE MY G6, BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE, NOR WITH THE UNHELPFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM BOTH GM CORPORATE OFFICES AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY IS #1!

THIS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH OUR 2005 PONTIAC G6. WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND IT STARTED TO HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS EARLY ON. WE THEN BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY REPLACED A STEERING GEAR, VEHICLE WAS AT 36,000 MILES. SO THEY COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY. STILL WE HEARD KNOCKING AND A THUD NOISE EVERY TIME WE TURNED BACK FROM THE LEFT. WE TOOK IT BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES WHICH THEY DIDN'T FIND NOTHING UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS WELL PAST THE 3-36000 MILES WARRANTY AND FIXED SOMETHING ELSE IN THE STEERING THAT WAS FAULTY, THIS WAS OUT OF POCKET LIKE $300. THEN WE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING NOTE THIS HAS THE SAME STEERING UNIT THAN THE CHEVY COBALT WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR STEERING. SO NOW WE LOST POWER ASSIST STEERING AND IT WAS LIKE STEERING A TRUCK FROM THE 1950'S, I WAS FORTUNATE I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE PROBABLY WOULD OF PANIC. SO NOW WE RETURN IT TO THE DEALER AND NOW IT NEEDED A STEERING MOTOR A SWITCH AND A STEERING COLUMN. OUT OF POCKET COST LIKE $1700. NOW GM KNOWS THERE'S A ISSUE SO THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY EXCEPT THEY WOULDN'T COVER US BECAUSE THEY ONLY WENT UP TO 100000 MILES AND WE WERE OVER THAT, SO TO BAD SO SAD! THEY TURN THEIR BACKS ON US, KNOWING THERE IS A PROBLEM AND SEEING OUR PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION WERE REPLACED. SIX MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN.

(1.) MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 15MPH. PICKING UP SPEED. ALL OF A SUDDEN AND FOR THE (2.) FIRST TIME SINCE HAVING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE CONSOLE ALONG WITH A "DINGING". THE STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP EXTREMELY TIGHT. EVEN AS AN EXTREMELY HEALTHY WELL BUILT PERSON I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST WENT OVER THE EMBANKMENT. I HIT BRAKES LUCKILY WITH NO ONE BEHIND ME OR INFRONT OF ME. I MANAGED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. (3.)TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED. POWER STEERING LIGHT OFF. STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED ITSELF. IN THE PROCESSES OF CONTACTING DEALERSHIP AND/OR MANUFACTURER FOR SERVICE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT SIX WEEKS AGO. YESTERDAY AND TODAY I HAVE HAD THE WARNING LIGHT AND INFO MESSAGE REGARDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING COME ON. I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING BOTH TIMES. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE TODAY REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I'M ALSO WONDERING WHY THIS HASN'T BECOME A RECALL. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. I NEED TO KNOW THAT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY CAN BE SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO MAKE THIS ISSUE A RECALL SO THAT LIVES ARE NOT LOST DUE TO THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. IF SHE LET GO OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WOULD PULL FAR TO THE LEFT. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2010, THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED. SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT; THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HER TO VISIT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. SHE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AUGUST 2010 WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATING THAT THE STEERING WAS A PROBLEM (NOT A RECALL) AND IT WOULD BE REPAIRED OR OWNERS WOULD BE REIMBURSED. WHEN SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD COVER ONLY 50% OF THE REPAIR COSTS AS HER VEHICLE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,102. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000.

MY POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT! I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL IT WAS RECALLED AND WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE GM DEALER THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $765 FOR A NEW POWER STEERING COLUMN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY DASH LIGHT AND POWER STEERING NOTICE COMES ON EVERY DAY AND MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ABOUT 3 TIMES SO FAR. LUCKILY ONLY WHILE PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS! OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AGAIN!!!!!!!! NOR WILL I ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BUY ONE EITHER! *TR
