2006 PONTIAC G6 Electrical System Problems

The electronic stability control has failed, due to sway bar links are worn out and causing wheels to vigorously wobble causing the Eps input circuit to shut down the system to avoid overloading the circuit and burning up the module , I believe the recall hasn't been fixed , Can you please consider the issue as dangerous and repair my car ... I am not trying to say this but I am homeless and dependent on the car for shelter as well as transportation... Please note don't use last statement to show sympathy on me ... I am doing ok today, Thank you, have a blessed day

Power steering loss in dangerous weather conditions and almost lost control and I'm not going to feel safe until I find a way to get it repaired recall (15V064)

On kelly blue book, my 2006 pontiac g6 has a recall for power steering which is the number 1 recall for the exact make and model in other people’s cars, but the recall is not showing on the nhtsa. power steering does not work and the steering wheel shakes a lot. i just bought the car in late december

Recall history for my car says that the recall has been taken care of for the power steering, but the car has power steering issues very badly

Steering and steering wheel shakey and the power steering randomly goes out.

When driving I can’t steer correctly steering wheel goes stiff where I can’t turn the electric powering light comes on

When I go to pull into a parking spot or leave a parking lot I sometimes (often) hear a dinging sound then all of the sudden I lose power steering to where I almost hit the cars around me. There has been the same make, model and year of my car that has had a previous recall for electric power steering assist (eps) in the past

While driving the vehicle, the break lights are on, when you stop, or press the break peddle, the break lights go out, therefore giving no warning to the vehicles behind you.

I have had to get 3 new keys made for this car due to the security light coming on, sometimes it will not crank or start, so I have replaced the starter twice, have replaced relays and fuses, and the security light will come on while drive down the road and all gauges drop to zero, even the gas light says empty and every light on the dash comes on. But the car will still drive. But once you turn it off it will not start for a few hours! It’s impossible to find parts for Pontiac anymore so everything has to be ordered! This should’ve been recalled a long time ago!

The electric power steering went out while driving. I could not steer the car. Very dangeres in traffic. The Torque Sensor failed which controls the power steering. There is a recall on the issue (#14772) but my Vin is not listed.

Power steering warning on radio, never once did a warning light on dash come up. This started at about 193,000 miles. Turning over car constantly to get my power steering to start. About a month after it just went out while driving approximately 40 mph. Kept pulling over to restart car, never turned back on. Potential wreck trying to turn to get into work parking lot when the car wouldn’t turn. Dealerships claim my car was fixed already years ago, however this problem with the steering started again apparently at about 193,000 miles. The steering wheel started jerking and shaking when the car was idle around the same time the power steering message came across the radio. The car would also randomly lock my horn, didn’t realize it could do that until I couldn’t honk when someone was merging into me.

My car stopped working all of a sudden in the middle of the road. no warning signs were made nor any of my lights came on. it’s rough running and never stays on long to drive. when i brake it completely shuts off. it overheats without the temperature gauge telling me it is. i don’t know exactly what is wrong but it’s not working now. i couldn’t go over 35 mph without it shutting off either.

WHILE DRIVING STEERING LOCKED UP, I HAD TO STRONG ARM THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO DRIVE CAR TOO A SAFE PLACE. ONCE I CUT THE CAR OFF AND CUT IT BACK ON IT IT WAS WORKING FINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE GOTTEN IT LOOKED AT AND THRU CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE HELP PLEASE

Mileage: 160,000

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

MY CARS ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. MY HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT OUT . ITS EXTREMELY HARD JUST TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND ITS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN THE IGNITION, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO LOCK YOUR DOOR SO NO ONE WILL STEAL YOUR CAR WHILE YOUR SLEEPING. AND THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OR WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR IS, WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE MEDAL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MASH WHILE DRIVING EVEN WITH TWO FEET. AND MY MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK REQUIRES ME TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD RECALL WORK DONE TO MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 BEFORE DUE TO MY ELECTRIC SYSTEM FAILING AND THESE ARE ALL OF THE SAME SIGNS OF THE RECALL. AND I WOULDN'T DARE LET MY FAMILY RIDE IN THIS CAR. THANK YOU

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BARELY BEEN WORKING. EVER SINCE I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THEM AND HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED PLUS WIRING REDONE MORE THAN 3 TIMES. EACH TIME MY LOW BEAMS GO OUT. IT STARTED WITH ONE WORKING AND ONE NOT, AND QUICKLY LED TO BOTH GOING ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS, ALONG WITH MY FRIENDS MOM HAVING THE SAME EXACT CAR, DIFFERENT YEAR MIND YOU BUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS AND CAN'T COME ACROSS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR GM. MY INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY LIGHTS, AS THEY WON'T WORK NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FIX THEM. MY HIGH BEAMS DO SO I'VE BEEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THEM. I'M MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL MAJOR ANXIETY AND UNEASE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON DURING A ROUTINE DRIVE, AND REMAIN ON. HAD MECHANIC INSPECT- CONCLUDED THAT BOTH SENSORS WORKING, MALFUNCTION DUE TO NO ELECTRICITY BEING DELIVERED. AS A RESULT, CRITICAL CRASH AVOIDANCE FEATURES (BOTH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE CRITICAL) ARE DISABLED / FAILING. REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE TRACING WIRE BACK TO POINT OF ISSUE. BEFORE HAVING A PRIVATE MECHANIC ADDRESS, I LEARNED OF RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000) EFFECTIVE AUG 18, 2014, WHEREBY GM TO ADDRESS WIRING HARNESS WITH SPACERS AND DIELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ON THIS AND TOLD NO OPEN RECALL; TOLD THAT IT WAS ALREADY ADDRESSED BY SERVICE AT DEVAN CHEVROLET, WILTON CT ON AUG 13, 2015. I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAD THE CAR AT THAT DEALER / SERVICE CENTER ON THAT DATE FOR ANOTHER MATTER- I HAD NO ISSUES OR SYMPTOMS WITH ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WHILE ITS POSSIBLE THAT DURING THAT VISIT THEY ACTIONED THE REMEDY DETAILED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER, AS THERE WAS NO NOTED ISSUE AT THAT TIME, I AM NOT SURE THEY DID ANYTHING THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE. NOW THAT THE SYMPTOMS ARE PERSISTENT, GM APPEARS TO DECLARE NO REPAIR IS REQUIRED UNDER THE RECALL.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ON NOVEMBER 03, 2017, MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP, AUTOMOBILE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT FLIPPED AND CRASHED AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON THE HWY AND THE CAR LOST STEERING POWER AND THE CAR WENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE HWY. I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN AT THAT TIME THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN 2013, I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE RECALL NOTICE IN 2015 AND I TOOK MY PONTIAC 06 G6 GTP TO OAKS GMC DEALER TO BE FIXED BY GM, AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER RECALLS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING UNTIL I FOUND RESEARCH THROUGH NHTSA AFTER THE ACCIDENT, NHTSA RECALL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 15V064000,

THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED THIS RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. I CANNOT GET MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO DELIVER THE VEHICLE TO ME UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REMEDIED. SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAYS THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) NEEDS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR RECALL, THE RECALL DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND AM TOLD THAT 1) THE PROBLEM IS THE BCM AND 2) I CANT HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I AM NOT SATISFIED. THE VEHICLE PROBLEM IS NOT REMEDIED. I AM HAVING TO PAY TO GET THE VEHICLE REMEDIED. PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERS ME TO THE NHTSA. THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS FELLOW MOTORISTS AROUND THE VEHICLE. I AM UPSET THAT A LARGE CORPORATION WOULD NOT TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE, AFTER NOT FIXING A RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14V252. THANK YOU

DRIVING ON WAY HOME FROM WORK, WHOLE TRIP NOTHING OVER 45 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ITS THE LIGHT WITH TC AND A SLASH TROUGH IT. THE LIGHT TURNS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL BUT COMES ON WHEN SHIFTER IS IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON I NOTICED EXTREMELY SLUGGISH ENGINE PERFORMANCE, EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING ALL THE WAY THROUGH 4TH GEAR WITH BAD SLAMS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS OF DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT STILL ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN BARELY GET GOING FROM A STOP LIGHT. I PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT TO WORK ON IT THE NEXT DAY, AND TO MY SURPRISE THE NEXT MORNING THE TC OFF LIGHT WAS GONE AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE NORMAL. THE NEXT DAY IT ALL HAPPENED OVER AGAIN WITH ALL THE SAME ISSUES AND THEN THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE CAR RAN FINE. THEN FOR A THIRD DAY IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN AND NOW THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE NO POWER, I MIGHT AS WELL BE PUSHING THE CAR DOWN THE STREET. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DRIVES ON A NORMAL NO WET WEATHER DAY. THE DEALERSHIP AND A PRIVATE GARAGE TRIED READING THE CODES THROUGH THE CONNECTOR UNDER MY STEARING WHEEL AND NO BODIES READER CAN CONNECT TO THE ECU. I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS AND NONE ARE BLOWN OR DAMAGED. I KNOW THE G6 HAD RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE A FEW YEARS AGO AND MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THIS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN GET UNDER THE CAR AND LOOK FOR ANY MELTED WIRES OR GROUND FAULTS BUT I WOULDNT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. TC OFF LIGHT COMING ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON WITH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR OR NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE. THIS IS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO HAVE LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION AND REALLY SPOTTY SHIFTING. IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT RANDOM TIMES.

THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT AREAS THAT I ASSUME ARE THE CAUSE OF MY CAR'S PROBLEMS. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS HAS STAYED OFF, REGARDLESS OF PASSENGERS BEING PRESENT SINCE 2014, I BELIEVE. USING THE KEY DOES NOT CHANGE THE AIR BAG STATUS. ALSO THIS MAY BE PART OF THE ELECTRICAL AREA, BUT AT AROUND THE SAME TIME MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN I REALIZED BOTH THINGS. ALSO I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRACTION CONTROL COMING ON OUT OF NO WHERE, AND INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE SPEED BEING REDUCED, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. SOMETIMES IT WILL LIKE RESET AFTER I PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR OVER 10 MINUTES, BUT IT WILL COME BACK ON REPEATEDLY. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WAIT RESTART, PULL OVER WAIT RESTART SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A USUAL 20 MINUTE DRIVE AT TIMES. ALSO I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR COMPRESSOR STAYING ENGAGED. MY CAR KIND OF BOGS DOWN WHEN THE COMPRESSOR DOES KICK IN, AND IT REPEATEDLY KICKS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ANY DISTANCE AT ALL. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY. THE MESSAGE CENTER ON THE RADIO CONSTANTLY SAYS THAT I HAVE LOW COOLANT, BUT THAT IS AN ERROR MESSAGE. IN THE SUSPENSION AREA MY WHOLE FRONT END(STRUTS, BALL BEARINGS, ETC) SEEM TO BE BAD. WHEN I DRIVE OVER A SMALL BUMP THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERS AND PULLS WILDLY TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. IT FEELS LIKE MY TIRES HIT INTO THE RIM ITSELF OVER SPEED BUMPS WHEN I AM DRIVING MERELY 10 MILES PER HOUR.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH OF 2017 ADVISING ME OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH A BCM COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNLESS I WAS CERTAIN THE PROBLEM EXISTED. THE LETTER WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT GM WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE TO COVER THE NEEDED REPAIRS IF THE PROBLEM WERE TO SHOW AS LONG AS IT WAS LESS THAN 15 YEARS, OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN TO SERVICE. THE THING THAT INSULTS ME IS THAT I HAD THE VEHICLE IN A DEALER SHOP A COUPLE OF MONTHS PRIOR TO GETTING THIS LETTER TO HAVE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. ANYTIME A VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO A DEALER THE MILEAGE IS RECORDED AND THEREFORE GM KNEW, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE SENDING THE LETTER THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY BEYOND THE MILEAGE THEY WERE ALLOWING IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF THIS WAS SUCH A PROBLEM I WOULD THING GM SHOULD COVER IT NO MATTER THE AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE ROAD OR THE NUMBER OF MILES. ATTACHED ARE BOTH THE DEALER SHOP TICKET SHOWING THE VIN, DATE AND MILEAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FOR A STEERING ISSUE, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER LIMITING THE MILEAGE TO LESS THAN WHAT GM SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WAS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LETTER WAS MAILED.

ON APPROXIMATELY 13 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS (WHILE ON A CITY STREET AT 25MPH, AND WHILE ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH) ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES GO CRAZY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO. 'POWER STEERING' MESSAGE AND 'LOW FUEL' LIGHT (HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS) WAS SHOWN ON THE RADIO MESSAGE CENTER, ALONG WITH WARNING SOUNDS, AND 'ERROR' WAS DISPLAYED IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. GAUGES CONTINUED FLUCTUATING REPEATEDLY FROM NORMAL AND/OR CORRECT RANGES, TO ZERO, AND CONTINUED SOUNDING/SHOWING WARNING SOUNDS AND ERROR MESSAGES FOR APPROX 5-6 MINUTES. THEN ALL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AND STAYED THERE, CAR ENGINE WAS CUTTING IN AND OUT AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, DID NOT HAVE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. PARKED CAR, SHUT OFF, REMOVED KEY, OPENED DOOR AND RESTARTED CAR. DROVE FINE (NO ISSUES) FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME RADIO STAYED ON AND ENGINE DID NOT CUT OUT, GUAGES RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES OF INTERMITTENT FLUCTUATING, ERROR MESSAGES DISAPPEARED FROM MESSAGE CENTER WITHOUT HAVING TO SHUT OFF CAR, BUT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS OFF AND I COULD NOT TURN BACK ON - TRACTION CONTROL WORKED AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED A SHORT TIME LATER. RECALL REPAIR FOR POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR WAS COMPLETED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, IN 2015. TWO MECHANICS IN AREA COULD NOT FIND CODES THAT WERE THROWN BUT STATE THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE PART OR A PART PERTAINING TO THE RECALLED TORQUE SENSOR, BUT COULD NOT CONFIRM.

WHAT'S TO SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED IN 2014 WHEN THE CAR WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WASN'T HAVING ANY ISSUES AT THAT TIME. HAD DO I KNOW THE WORK WAS EVER DONE THE FIRST TIME AROUND SINCE I WAS NOT IN THE SERVICE AREA AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. WHAT'S TO SAY I WAS HANDED AN ITEMIZED LIST OF ALL CORRECTED PARTS AND INDEED IT WAS NEVER FIXED. I CALLED PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS REPLACED WITH RECALL I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET. ACCORDING TO NHTSA -THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING TO REDUCE DEATHS AND INJURIES ON THE ROADWAYS TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR THE PUBLIC. THEY ALSO NEED TO BE ON THE CUSTOMERS SIDE AND NOT THE SIDE OF THE DEALER. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING COMPLETELY. THANK GOODNESS I WAS DRIVING INSTEAD OF MY WIFE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE IT FIXED BY A CERTIFIED GM DEALER. I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VIN. AFTER ANOTHER CALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE UPCOMING RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR MODEL AND THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING A REIMBURSEMENT FORM IN APRIL OF 2014, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. UPON MULTIPLE CALLS, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY MY LOCAL GM DEALER WHO ALSO TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VIN.I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR FIXING AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL. GM IS USING SOME VERY SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES........AND ALL OF THIS AFTER HAVING IT TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SIX MONTHS EARLIER FOR A TOTAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, WHICH SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AS WELL.... *TR

PURCHASED NEW PONTIAC G6 2006 ON JUNE 2, 2007, 72 MILES. JULY 2007, PROBLEMS WITH CRUISE CONTROL. CONTACTED RELIABLE PONTIAC WITH PROBLEM. NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. TOOK IT TO THOMPSON'S PLACERVILLE, ACTED LIKE I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK A CRUISE CONTROL. CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH DAVID O'KEEF, PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE (866) 790-5600, EXT 31952, REGARDING LEMON LAW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THOMPSONS ON THE FOLLOWING DATES (THERE WERE SEVERAL MORE, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVOICE FROM THE DEALER): 7/11/07; 8/10/07; 10/05/07; 10/8/07; 10/20/07; 11/16/07; 12/12/07; 4/8/08; 4/23/08 5/14/08; 5/16/08; 5/31/08; 11/11/08; THROUGHOUT 2009 AND 2010; 4/28/11; 9/6/11; 9/14/11; 12/9/11; AND 12/14/11. PULLED OVER BY CHP SEVERAL TIMES FOR BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON, BUT I WAS NOT BRAKING, OFFICER STATED VEHICLE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE ON ROAD. ON 9/6/11, A FRIEND REFERRED ME TO MOTORTREND RECALLS. RECALL DATE FOR AIR BAGS WAS 10/31/2006 AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS 1/30/2009. STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN 2009. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY GM OR RELIABLE PONTIAC. VEHICLE WAS A COSTLY, SAFETY HAZARD THROUGH 12/14/11. STILL HAVE ISSUES. EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT TO KEEP TAKING IT TO THE DEALER. NOW I KNOW WHY I WAS BEING FLIPPED OFF BY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, THEY THOUGHT I WAS "BRAKE" CHECKING THEM. *JS

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LAMPS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE SPOILER WERE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY . UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC , VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND TO BE REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IS SHOT. IT STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO..ONE BY ONE, EVERYTHING IN THE CAR (ELECTRICAL) STOPPED WORKING. SUCH AS.. 1. POWER LOCK FOR THE DOORS DOESN'T WORK 2. TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON DOESN'T OPEN THE TRUNK 3. CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF EVERY TIME I OPENED THE DOOR (AS THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED) 4. AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING 5. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD GO OFF WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. 6. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULDN'T ILLUMINATE AT ALL SOMETIMES. 7. HEADLIGHTS AND/OR TAILLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT, OR DIM RANDOMLY 8. PUSH-LOCK BUTTON ON EACH DOOR WOULD GO UP AND DOWN (BY ITSELF) AS I WOULD BE DRIVING, OR WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. (COULDN'T LOCK MY CAR DOORS) BECAUSE OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES, I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE. I ALSO HAD MY CAR REPAIRED A COUPLE TIMES (MECHANIC EVEN CALLED PONTIAC FOR ASSISTANCE). AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED, (IF POSSIBLE), THE LIGHTS WOULD STOP PROPERLY WORKING AGAIN, SHORTLY AFTER BEING 'REPAIRED' . EVENTUALLY, I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE FEBRUARY, 2014 (5 MONTHS). I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUOUSLY GET THE CAR FIXED (TO PASS INSPECTION), OR PAY FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS. THEREFORE, I HAVEN'T HAD A CAR TO DRIVE FOR 5 MONTHS. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL (PRIOR TO THE RECALL LETTER IN JUNE 2014) STATING THERE WAS A DEFAULT WITH THE POWER STEERING. I CALLED THE NUMBER TWICE. AT FIRST, I WAS TOLD MY CAR ISSUES WERE NOT RELEVANT TO THE DEFAULT. THE SECOND TIME, (PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS LATER) I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOW OVER THE MILEAGE TO BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY (STATED IN THE LETTER), AND THEREFORE IT VOIDED MY ELIGIBILITY TO HAVE THE REPAIRED BY THEM. *TR

DRIVING ON HWY 526 CHARLESTON SC. WITH MY TWIN DAUGHTERS AND 7YR. OLD SON AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING, CIGARETTE LIGHTERS STOP WORKING. I COULD NT SEE FEARED FOR MY KIDS LIFE.

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT MAKES YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND COULD RESULT IN A WRECK. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SERVICE AIIR BAG WARNING THAT HAS ALSO BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES. THE BREAKING SYSTEM ON MY GM IS ALSO FAULTY WITH THE LIGHTING. WHEN THE BREAK IS PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT PUSHED THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON.

(2006 PONTIAC G6 GT) THE FIRST TIME I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY IGNITION & POWER STEERING WAS IN JANUARY OF 2014. I STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I TOWED IT TO A MECHANIC WHICH SAID EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING KNOWING THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. RECENTLY ON MARCH 6 2014 WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ONTO THE RADIO SCREEN. THE POWER STEERING DISABLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER AWAY FROM OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIFYING FEELING KNOWING I HAD NO CONTROL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WHICH THE WHEEL WAS MOVING AND SEEMED FINE TO DRIVE. I PULLED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 35 - 40MPH AND THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL. I STOPPED PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WENT HAYWIRE ALSO MY 6 CD CHANGER CHANGED THROUGH EVERY CD AND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. MECHANICS ARE STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WEEKS LATER, NOW MARCH 30 2014 I STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWEER STEERING IS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND IT IS NOT DRIVABLE. *TR

WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE, BUT ONCE I WOULD GET GOING IT WOULD QUIT WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK SINCE 4/11/12. IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AS I'M DRIVING THE POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS AND THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.MY BREAK LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON IF THE BREAK IS NOT PUSHED DOWN AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS GO OFF. MORE RECENTLY, WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. I CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. MY CAR IS AFFECTED, BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN THE DFW AREA AND THE BREAK LIGHT ISSUE AND THE POWER STEERING ISSUE ARE CAUSING HUGE PROBLEMS FOR ME. IT IS TERRIFYING EACH TIME I HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE BY TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS BUT DOESN'T START. IT WILL MAKE A "WINDING" NOISE. IT WILL TAKE 2-3 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 30-40 TIMES SINCE 2009. DURING THIS SAME PERIOD WHILE DRIVING THE BEEP ALARM INSIDE THE CAR BEGINS GOING OFF CAUSE IT READS THAT SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE SEAT WAS EMPTY. IN ADDITION, WHEN A PERSON HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND VACATES THE SEAT THE SEAT OR SENSOR STILL REGISTERS A PERSON THERE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE ABOUT 6-8 TIMES. I HAD THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE MAKER LIGHT REPLACED AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS 6-8 TIMES. LASTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN STALLING BOTH AT INITIAL ACCELERATION AND WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 35MPH THE VEHICLES SUDDENLY LOSES ITS GEAR AND BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKES. THEN THE SECURITY LOCK ON THE DASH PANEL LIT UP, AS IF I HAD LOCKED AND ACTIVATED THE SECURITY SYSTEM VIA THE KEY FOB. I WAS STILL DRIVING, SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO ACTIVATE THE SECURITY SYSTEM. AS I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE, I NOTICED THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY ACROSS THE STREET BEFORE THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. I LET IT REST ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS WENT THROUGH THE SAME SEQUENCE. ABS LIGHT, SECURITY LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AS THEY BOTH READ LOW ON VOLTAGE. TO THIS DAY 2/15/2014, THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING IS TO RUN A DIRECT CABLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GIVE OFF THE CORRECT VOLTAGE AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER. THEY CAN NO LONGER FUNCTION SEPARATELY OF EACH OTHER. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON EDMUNDS.COM WITH NO RESPONSE FROM GM. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I INFORMED THEM I'VE HAD MY OWN TRUSTED, LOCAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE OTHER THEN A MASSIVE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I ASKED GM WHAT THEIR RESOLUTION WAS SINCE THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AGAIN, WAS JUST TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER. NO FURTHER RESPONSE OR POSSIBLE SOLUTION WAS OFFERED FROM GM. *TR

I HAVE A '06' G6 GTP HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE. ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUTS OFF AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I HIT A SPEED BUMP, DRIVE OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, HIT A POT HOLE. ETC. BASICALLY, EVERY TIME I HIT SOME SORT OF BIG BUMP ON THE ROAD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I WOULD PULL OVER THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE. BUT, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR TURNS OVER. I WOULD PUT CAR IN TOTAL STOP, PARK, TURN OFF KEY, AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE RESTARTING CAR. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP, OTHER TIMES WOULD TAKE A FEW ATTEMPTS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE I NEED TO WAIT FOR THE CARE TO RESET ITSELF. THERE IS POWER WHEN RESTARTING, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY. NOT EVEN A STARTER SOUND OR ENGINE CRANK. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST WEEK AND MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF MORE OFTEN. THIS HAS BECOME HAZARDOUS ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON A THRU-WAY. I DID TAKE THE CAR TO A PONTIAC DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AGO TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHANGED OUT THE ELECTRICAL UNIT TO A TUNE OF $600.00. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE, AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING GOES OUT PERIODICALLY WHEN IT GETS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SOMETIME NOW. IF THE TEMPERATURE GETS CLOSE TO FREEZING OUTSIDE THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF A FEW AFTER I FIRST START UP THE VEHICLE AND IF I MAKE VERY SHARP TURNS IT GOES OUT. I NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WHEN ITS WARM OUTSIDE. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THIS NO MATTER IF YOUR VEHICLE IS PAST 70000 MILES.

IT STARTED WITH THE KEY NOT WANTING TO MOVE, FIRST TO START THE CAR AND THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE RADIO FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. THE LATEST IS THAT THE POWER ASSIST STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I'VE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT SITES AND IT SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AND CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

BRAKES ARE ILLUMINATED WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON BRAKE PEDAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN FOOT IS APPLIED AT THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! IF NEEDED TO APPLY BRAKES IN A FAST MANNER A FOLLOWING CAR COULD REAR-END THE PONTIAC G6. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. SO WHY HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE TO MAKE PONTIAC RECALL THE BRAKE SENSOR RELAY BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENTS? THE "RECALL" TO ADD DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO THE CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CORROSION IS NOT WORKING!!!!! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN MY BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AUTOMATICALLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS RECALL FOR 2006 PONTIAC G6 RECALL ANNOUNCED: JANUARY 30 2009NHTSA REFERENCE: #09V036000NUMBER AFFECTED: 8,012SUMMARY: GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. CONSEQUENCE: BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. FIX: DEALERS WILL APPLY A DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO THE CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CORROSION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 17, 2009. *TR

THE CAR WAS TOWED AND HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK AT TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. HE SAID THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR NEEDED RECALIBRATED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED (3) TIMES. *TR

MY POWER STEERING COLUMN WENT OUT WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TURN INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED FOR $700 AND WITH IN THE TIME OF THE PART WARRANTY IT WENT OUT AGAIN. IT IS NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND IT JUST WENT COMPLETELY OUT AGAIN. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF 2006 PONTIAC G6 OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD END UP BEING FATAL FOR SOMEONE IN THE RIGHT SITUATION.

THE PONTIAC G6 HAS A FAULTY POWER STEERING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE SHOULD BE A REINVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. WHILE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT LOW RATES OF SPEED IT WILL RANDOMLY TAKE OFF TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. MINE TOOK ME OFF THE ROAD AND INTO THE MEDIAN. ALSO, IT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE AND I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE PILON BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SNATCHED OUT OF MY HANDS WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THIS IS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS CONTRARY TO THE PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

POWER STEERING WAS LOST, LIGHT ON DISPLAY STATED CHECK POWER STEERING. WAS INFORMED BY A MECHANIC THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN.

VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A CLUNKING SOUND IN THE BRAKES AND EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE HAVING DIFFICULTIES REMOVING IT FROM PARK. SHORTLY AFTER THESE PROBLEMS STARTED THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING IN REVERSE ALL THIS TIME! WHEN YOUR ON THE GAS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT! THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE 05 G6 MODEL BUT NONE OF THE OTHERS, A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS HOW COMMON THIS IS WITH THE G6 LINE FROM 05-09! WE WOULD HAVE HAD NO CLUE THIS WAS GOING ON IF I HADN'T FOLLOWED MY FIANCE ONE NIGHT AND NOTICED IT OTHER WISE WE WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT WHEN SOME ONE HIT US DUE TO THE POOR BRAKES OR COMPUTER OF THE PONTIAC G6. *TR

THIS PONTIAC G6 WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT. 9/23/2009. THE FIRST OCCASION, THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK AND THE GEARSHIFT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR HAD TO BE LEFT AT WORK SITE AS GEAR SHIFT COULD NOT BE MOVED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. LAST, SEVERAL PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING AND TURNED OFF WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES; ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL #09V036000 SECOND OCCASION: IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AGAIN 6/20/2011 FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS THE DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT SUGGESTED IN THE RECALL WAS APPLIED BOTH TIMES AND COMPLAINTS CURED. THIRD OCCASION: THE VEHICLE IS GOING INTO DEALER 6/11/2012 FOR THE SAME COMPLAINTS.. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING INTO WORK, MY CAR DINGED THREE TIMES, THEN POWER STEERING WAS FLASHED ON MY RADIO AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP! UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR, I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THE ESTIMATED REPAIRS WOULD COST $900! THIS IS A HORRIBLE CAR, AS THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE FEW PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, SOMETHING IN THE STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING IT CLANK, AND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL BACK IT WILL CLANK AGAIN. IF I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND HAVE MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN I APPLY THE GAS, THE WHEEL WILL PULL ITSELF ABOUT HALF A TURN TO THE LEFT AND AS I PICK UP SPEED IT WILL RECENTER ITSELF. WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL THERE IS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE. THE STRUTS HAVE GONE BAD, WHICH IS $450 MORE, AND THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FRONT LEFT TIRE SOMEWHERE (NOT THE TIRE ITSELF, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS LEAKING OIL SOMEWHERE). THIS IS MY FIRST GM CAR, AND IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE MY LAST. *JS

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, A POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARS ON THE RADIO SCREEN. AFTER THE WARNING, 3 TONES SOUND INSIDE THE CAR. THEN, THE STEERING GETS VERY TIGHT AND ALL POWER STEERING GOES AWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WHEN POWER STEERING IS LOST.

ON A WEBSITE CALLED G6 OWNERS FORUM, I WAS READING THROUGH DIFFERENT PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH DIFFERENT YEARS. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THERE WAS ONE DEATH INVOLVED WITH THIS VERY ISSUE AND MANY INJURIES REPORTED.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO BE INOPERABLE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR REAR END ACCIDENTS. STOPPED BY THE POLICE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALSO THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT GM HAS IN THE 2005-06 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHT RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER RECALL 2 TIMES NOW. THE FIX LASTS APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MONTHS, THEN THE EXACT SAME, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BRAKE LIGHT AND CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE RETURNS. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AT RANDOM ALSO. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY NERVE RACKING SITUATIONS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES IN TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING UP A HILL. GM'S FIX OF APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONNECTOR IS A BAND AID TYPE FIX AND IS NOT A REMEDY FOR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL ISSUE. THE NEWER MODEL G6 VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, MAKING IT OBVIOUS THAT GM SAW A NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN HOUSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR 4 YEARS AT MINIMUM. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 89K MILES AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE NEW. I KEEP THE CAR IN IMMACULATE MECHANICAL CONDITION. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN THE CORRECT MANNER BEFORE SOMEBODY LOSES A LIFE. *TT

MY CURRENT PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE RECALL FOR THE 2009 PONTIAC G6. TODAY (12-8-10) I HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO ROLL. THE WIRING SYSTEM DID NOT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE PARK OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I LATER TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL. 4 MONTHS AGO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING IN PARK. THREE OTHER TIMES I HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE/FOOT PEDDLES. I WOULD HAVE TO BREAK TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL UNTIL IT REACHED 30MPH. IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DRIVE IN TRACTION CONTROL AND READ DECREASED ENGINE POWER ON THE PANEL. IN ADDITION, I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A FOUNTAIN OF WATER POURING INTO MY CAR SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF ON EITHER SIDE OF PANELS BTWN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS, RESULTING IN SEVERE INTERIOR DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT MOLD SPORES GROWING. INSTEAD OF THE FILTER SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF FILTERING WATER OUT, IT IS FILTERING WATER IN. *TR

1. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT I NOTICED A CRACKING IN THE PAINT ON THE HOOD ONLY. THE CAR IS WASHED AND WAXED REGULARLY WITH NO UNUSUAL PRODUCTS. PAINT HAS CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE ON THE HOOD ONLY (REST OF THE CAR IS FINE) AND IS NOW CHIPPING THROUGH THE CLEAR COAT ENTIRELY AND TO COLOR UNDERNEATH. I EXPECT THIS WILL SOON BE FLAKING RIGHT OFF! 2. AROUND SAME TIME PAINT PROBLEM STARTED, CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING. 3. HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORTS/PROBLEMS WITH THE CONSOLE AND HAVE HAD TO RESET THE CLOCK AND TEMP MANY TIMES IN ADDITION TO FAULTY "SERVICE AIRBAG SOON" WARNING THAT COMES ON THEN AND DISAPPEARS FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. 4. WITHIN LAST FEW MONTHS, HAVE BEGUN SMELLING STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE OUTSIDE THE CAR EVEN SEVERAL HOURS AFTER IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF...FUEL FILL UPS DON'T INCREASE OR DISSIPATE THIS. SMELL SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE (INTENSIFYING) OVER TIME, HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH I CANNOT DETECT A LEAK OR ANY NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE FUEL ECONOMY. 5. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY ENDED BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING CAR ON "HOT STARTS"...CAR CRANKS BUT DOESN'T IGNITE (SAME IN HOT AND COLD WEATHER). THIS BECAME MORE FREQUENT UNTIL SUDDENLY IT COMPLETELY REVERSED ITSELF. NOW "HOT" STARTS ARE GENERALLY FINE, CRANKING AND NON IGNITION TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON "COLD" STARTS (SAME IN HOT AND COLD WEATHER). FOR A CAR PURCHASED WITH 29K MILES AND IS NOW ONLY AT 66K I SAY THIS IS DEPLORABLE! ALL THESE THINGS OCCURRED AFTER 36K WARRANTY ENDED BUT WITHIN THE FIRST 20-30K MILES PUT ON CAR. RIDICULOUS! MY LAST CAR WAS A PLYMOUTH AND RAN FINE WELL OVER 100K (ONLY MAJOR JOB WAS REPLACING TIMING BELT @ 100K)...I DON'T THINK I CAN ANTICIPATE THE SAME KIND OF LONGEVITY FROM THIS CAR. CONSIDERING THE OTHER SERIOUS PROBLEMS RAISED CONCERNING STEERING AND EVERYTHING ELSE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. *TR

THIS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED 1 TIME , WE TOOK THE VEH TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WOULD SHUT DOWN AFTER REACHING A CERTAIN TEMP SO THEY REPLACED IT, IT WAS FINE ABOUT 1 MONTH BEFORE BEGINNING TO DO THE SAME THING THIS TIME ON A VERY FREQUENTLY ALMOST TO THE POINT IT DOES IT NOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES MADE TO PONTIAC/GM BY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND GM SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THE PROBLEM.

I JUST WONDER HOW MANY PPL HAS TO BE HURT BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE CARS. IM BASICALLY MAKING A PAYMENT ON SOMETHING I CANT EVEN DRIVE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SEATBELT SENSOR AND THE IDLE ARM AND I CANT PLUG IN THE CELL PHONE CHARGER BECAUSE IT BLOWS THE FUSES EVERY TIME I DO.

IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN AND I NOTICE THERE'S A "SCRAPING" OR "SCRUBBING" SOUND WHEN I BEGIN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ASAP. I KNOW THEY DON'T WANT A LAWSUIT WHICH COULD RESULT IF THIS ISN'T RESOLVED IF , GOD FORBID, SOMEONE IS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS.

I'VE HAD MY 06 G6 FOR A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS AND THE CAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS ONLY TO HAVE NOTHING DONE AND BE CHARGED RIDICULOUS PRICES. THE MAIN ISSUE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEN MAKING A TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE GEAR BOX AND HAD THAT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AND 6MTHS LATER THE EXACT NOISE IS BACK AND MY VEHICLE BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP. WELL THIS TIME IT'S NOT THE GEAR BOX IT'S THE SHAFT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S NOT COVERED. GO FIGURE! MY NEXT QUESTION TO THE DEALER IS HOW IS IT THAT MY CAR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE IT WAS MAKING 6MTHS AGO FROM THE EXACT SAME AREA AND IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW AND NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY? HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE COMPETENT WORKERS AND THEIR REPAIRING WHAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED? OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE HERE IN THIS DEALERSHIP EVERY 6MTHS LIKE IM ON THE PAYROLL.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM AUCTION IN APRIL OF 2006. I HAVE HAD THE CAR THREE YEARS NOW. FROM THE TIME THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING. IT WILL TURN OVER BUT DIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT STARTS. IT USUALLY TAKE THREE TRIES BEFORE IT WILL START. TODAY I GOT IN MY CAR AND TURNED THE KEY NOTHING WOULD COME ON, NO LIGHTS NO RADIO NO NOISE NOTHING. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. I TRIED IT THREE TIMES AND THEN ON THE FOURTH TIME IT STARTED LIKE NORMAL. I CHECKED THE BATTERY AND IT IS FINE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT BECAUSE IT WOULD NO DO IT AT THAT TIME THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING. THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING ALSO KEEPS DINGING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY RESET IT AND SAID IT WAS OK, NOW IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING BUT IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY TO HAVE IT SERVICED. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE POWERSTEERING ALSO. THERE ARE TIMES IT WILL BE EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AND THEN IN A FEW SECONDS IT IS EXTREMELY EASY AND NOW IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED TWO MONTHS AGO AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED THEY HAVE STARTED MAKING A REALLY LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE AND SOMETIMES A GRINDING NOISE. NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SINCE THE BRAKES WERE JUST MAINTENANCE. THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL NOT STAY THAT WAY FOR LONG. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR IN ANY DIRECTION, THIS CAUSED TRAFFIC TO GET BACKED UP AND ME AND MY 1 YEAR OLD STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY THEN STATED THAT MY POWER STEERING IS ELECTRICAL AND IT HAS WENT OUT AND TO REPAIR IT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE MY RACK AND PINION WHICH WOULD COST OVER $800 TO REPAIR, WHICH I DON'T HAVE AT THIS TIME, NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM STILL UNABLE TO DRIVE AT THE PRESENT TIME, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS RECALL WORTHY SEEING THAT THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, I ALSO HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING, PLEASE HELP! *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING IN MILEAGES(MPH) BUT IN KILOMETERS (KHM). I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 42,000 AND NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER IT HAS 92,000 MILES OR KILOMETERS ON IT. I'VE ONLY BEEN OUT OF TOWN ONCE IN THIS VEHICLE. I READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE CAR AND IT STATED THAT IN CANADA THE CAR'S REGISTER KILOMETERS. CLEARLY, I AM NOT IN CANADA BUT RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES. WILL THIS AFFTECT MY TITLE AND REGISTRATION IF AND WHEN I DECIDE TO TRADE THIS CAR IN AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS? *TR

I PURCHASED THE 06 IN MAY 2006. IN LESS THAN 6MTHS TIME BOTH KEY FOBS AND THE TRUNK RELEASE IN THE CAR STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD THE PROBLEMS FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. ALSO, THE CAR IS HARD TO CRANK AT TIMES. IT HAPPENED OFTEN IN THE PAST, BUT EVENTUALLY STOPPED. THEN ON YESTERDAY I HAD TO 3 TIMES TO START MY CAR BEFORE IT CRANKED. THEN TODAY, I HAD TO TRY 2X BEFORE IT CRANKED. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE. I'M GLAD TO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS. GM SHOULD TAKE NOTE AND ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE WHO HAS PURCHASED THEIR PRODUCT. I'M NOT SURE OF THE DATES I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE STARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACED AND IT HASN'T BEEN CLOSE TO A YEAR AND THEY ARE MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE ALREADY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER LOT AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE POWER WINDOWS. IN ADDITION, THE CELL PHONE CHARGER FUSE CONTINUED TO BLOW OUT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS BUBBLING IN THE PAINT JOB THAT WAS ALSO REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE STEREO CHANGES FROM XM FM TO AM. THE SCREEN FOR THE XM RADIO IS BLANK, THE CLOCK IS ALWAYS BEHIND, AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEVER WORKS PROPERLY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE TICKS PERIODICALLY AND IT SOMETIMES STALLS UPON STARTING. THE NUTS IN THE DOOR LOOSEN EVERY TWO WEEKS AND MAKE A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN THEY ARE COMING LOOSE. THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATE 09/10/08 *CW THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND WAS REPLACED, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT RIGHT. THE DRIVE SHAFT BEGAN TO UNUSUAL NOISES. UPDATED 09/10/08. *JB

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR IT ONLY HAD 10 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS IT WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS SOME LOOSE WIRING OR THAT THE WIRE WAS TO CLOSE TO A COMPONENT AND THE COMPONENT MELTED THE PLASTIC COVERING THE WIRES. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SECURITY INFORMATION BUT, IT WAS CORRECTED. THEN AT 40,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHENEVER I DROVE IT. IT SEEMED AS IF THE GAS WAS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE QUICK ENOUGH (I'M NOT A MECHANIC) THEN THE MILEAGE WENT CONSIDERABLY DOWN. FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS I USED TO GET 451 MILES THIS IS TOLD THROUGH THE FUEL MONITOR THAT IS IN THE CAR. BUT, AFTER THIS BEGAN OCCURRING THE MONITOR WOULD STATE 239 MILES AFTER I FILLED IT UP! I HAVE HAD TO FILL-UP 6 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. WHEN A TANK OF GAS USED TO LAST 2 WEEKS FOR ME. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND WAS TOLD THAT I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. ONCE THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE WOULD REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE AND THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST EITHER. WHILE I WAS ECSTATIC TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FIX MY VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE TO ME, WARNING BELLS DID SOUND OFF IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I RECEIVED THE INVOICE BACK FROM THEM IT STATED THAT THESE ITEMS WERE REPLACED: OXIDATION CATALYTIC CONVERTER, 2 GASKETS, 1 PIPE AND 2 MANIFOLD CORE CHG. AND AFTER ALL OF THIS WORK WHICH TOOK FROM 8:30A.M TO 2:00PM, MY MILEAGE MONITOR IS NOW REPORTING 300 MILES FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS WHEN ORIGINALLY I WAS GETTING 451. AFTER READING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS RE. THIS VEHICLE I AM JUST DISGUSTED. I WILL REVIEW THIS SITE WHEN PURCHASING MY NEXT VEHICLE WHICH I THINK WILL BE PRETTY SOON. *TR

2007 PONITAC G6 STALLED ON THREE OCCASIONS. FIRST TIME THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. SECOND TIME THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND WIRE WAS TIGHTENED. THIRD TIME DEALER STATED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *KB THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE RELATED TO THE RADIO COMING ON BY ITSELF AND THE DRIVERS WINDOW HAVING A PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THAT WAS THE REAL PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 06 PONTIAC G6 W/ 20K MILES. AT 4K MILES IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CD PLAYER PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS. 3 WEEKS AGO WE WENT TO USE THE VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND BATT. FOUND TO BE BAD. LAST MONDAY 29TH WE FOUND THE BATTERY TO BE DEAD AGAIN SO IT WAS TOWED BACK TO TE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN BATTERY WAS BAD AND REPLACED. THEN WE HAD BEEN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL RANGE, MILEAGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT. YOU WOULD BE DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE WOULD SAY YOU HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT AND 39 MILES TO EMPTY. YOU DRIVE A MILE AND THE GAUGE IS ON EMPTY AND IT SAYS LOW FUEL!!! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS " NO PROBLEM FOUND, WORKING AS MANF. BUILT" THEN IT WOULD SAY YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF MILES TO EMPTY THEN THE NUMBER WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID. " NO PROBLEM FOUND, WORKING AS MANF. BUILT". I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SAID 206 MILES TO EMPTY, I DROVE A HALF MILE AND IT SAID 180 MILES TO EMPTY. THEN DROVE A QUARTER MILE AND IT SAID 193 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS WAS UNDER NORMAL SPEEDS AND ACCELERATION. MY DEALERSHIP FINALLY REFUSED TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO SAID "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" SO I DROPPED IT OFF TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. COME BACK 15 HOURS LATER AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN. I PICKED IT UP ONCE AGAIN AND THE FUEL MILEAGE SAID 142 I DROVE A HALF MILE AND IT WENT TO 130 I DROVE A QUARTER MILE AND IT SAID 126 MILES AND THEN I DROVE 700 FEET AND IT SAID 116 MILES. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I STOPPED I HAD 131 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY DAY SINCE MONDAY THE 29TH. *TR

FIRST LEAK WAS THE XM ANTENNA. WATER CAME IN THROUGH ROOF CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS. SECOND LEAK WAS FROM THE SUNROOF WATER ENTERED THE CABIN THROUGH THE SAME PLACE. DEALER REPAIRED SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE. THIRD LEAK WAS THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE. DEALER REPAIRED THE OTHER SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE. THE WATER ENTER THE CABIN AND RAN ON THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT. THIS HAPPENED IN THE WINTER AND THE SEAT BELT FROZE SOLID IN THE RETRACTION REEL. AT THE SAME TIME THE WATER ALSO DAMAGED THE AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED THE AN AIRBAG FAILURE. THE FORTH LEAK SOAKED BOTH SEAT BELTS. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP EXTENDED THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES PER A SERVICE BULLETIN. NOW THERE ARE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. THE HEADS LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THEN RESTARTED. THE TURN SIGNALS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS, AND HEATER CONTROL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY.

I BOUGHT A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT, AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING IT, I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT WOULD GO COMPLETLY OUT AND IN MY INFORMATION CENTER IT WOULD SAY POWER STEERING, THEN OTHER TIMES IT WOULD GET VERY LOOSE TO WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, MIND YOU THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT LONGER. PONTIAC CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK IT UP, THAT THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE, THEREFOR COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. A WEEK LATER IT GOES OUT COMPLETLY AGAIN, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME, I ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. I IMMEDIATLEY PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, I WAS TOLD THAT IF I DIDN'T LIKE THERE SERVICE TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE, SO I DID. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ELCTRONIC SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. NOW AT 9,600 MILES THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AGAIN. *TR

MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY PONTIAC G6 GT HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE. THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS MY WINDOW SWITCH QUIT WORKING, WHICH WAS REPLACED, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED A MONTH AGO, MY POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER. THIS THEN PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES, WHEN I WAS GOING BETWEEN 0-40 MPH. I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR, THEN IT WAS OKAY (NO "POWER STEERING LIGHT" CAME ON). THE ELECTRICAL CHIP WAS REPLACED. THIRD INCIDENT, POWER STEERING LIGHT STARTING COMING ON AND STEERING WAS HARDER TO CONTROL (BUT NOT LOCKING UP). I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE G6, AND I AM EVEN MORE CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND WHEN THE WARRANTY IS FINISHED. PONTIAC NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THESE FAILURES AND TAKE THE STEPS TO ENSURE THE CONSUMERS SAFETY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC G6 GT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE HORN WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS REPLACED. 6-8 WEEKS LATER, IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER HORN REPLACEMENT. THEN, THE STARTER SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS HANGING UP, LIKE IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED. SO, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SIMPLY RESET THE COMPUTER AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. 2 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I DISCOVERED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A MODULE WAS REPLACED REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE NEXT WEEK IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. 2 WEEKS AFTER THE RETURN, GUESS WHAT! IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. I GOT THE CAR BACK LAST WEEK, AND OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE WAS NOT WORKING YET AGAIN. NOT ONLY THE BRAKES/CRUISE, BUT THE STARTER STARTED HANGING AGAIN AND NOW THE DRIVERS' SIDE HEATED SEAT COMES ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF!!! MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE TUESDAY AND PONTIAC SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A BUY BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS ARE ELECTRICAL AND NOT MECHANICAL!

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OCTOBER 3RD, 2006, AS A DEMO VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES. BEGININNING AT END OF DECEMBER MY HEATER/AIR CAME ON ITSELF AND RUNNING ON HIGH. UNIT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & KEPT APPROX 3 DAYS AND REPLACED COMPLETE HEAT/AIR UNIT. BEGINNING IN JANUARY MY CONSOLE LIGHTS COME OFF AND ON ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL GUAGES GO TO ZERO AND ALL LIGHTS IN CONSOLE LIGHT UP. VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND CONSOLE WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM AND STARTING DOING AGAIN THE THE VERY NEXT DAY. KEPT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AND HAVE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT TWO TECHNICIANS HAVE CHECKED VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AT 18,998 MILES VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED ROTORS WERE FAILING. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE ROTORS BUT TURNED THEM AND SAID IF THAT FAILED BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRES THEY WOULD POSSIBLY REPLACE

I HAD SEVERAL TYPES OF ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WAS RESET BY DEALER WITH NO CODES FOUND. THE NEXT WAS LOW COOLANT WARNING THAT WAS A DEFECTIVE WIRE AND REPAIRED. ANOTHER TIME THE VEHICLE SIMPLY WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER FILLING VEHICLE WITH GAS THE DASH PANEL WAS COMPLETELY OUT, VEHICLE RAN NORMAL. DEALER WAS AWARE THAT NO INSTRUMENTS WERE WORKING AND WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM, NO CODES FOUND. DOME LIGHT NEVER WORKED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE FIXED. IN DECEMBER I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND SMELLED MELTING OR BURNING PLASTIC AND SECONDS LATER A SMALL CLOUD OF FOWL SCENTED SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK . WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. AT THE TIME I WAS CERTIFIED PONTIAC RETAIL PROFESSIONAL AND AS OF NEW YEARS DAY HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN A RENTAL VEHICLE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL IN THE SITUATION AND AS A RESULT I HAVE SINCE LEFT MY JOB AS A GM SALES PROFESSIONAL. GM WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THEY DRAG THEIR FEET TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE WAITED UNTIL NEW YEARS DAY TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT TO GIVE GM AMPLE TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPT 05, IN DEC 05 I WENT TO GO TO WORK ON A MONDAY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HAD NOT USED THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE. MY SON JUMPSTARTED IT AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE BATTERY COULDN'T HOLD A CHARGE AND THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY. IN FEB 06, THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN, I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND TOLD ME THAT I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR ENOUGH TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. I DRIVE MY CAR BETWEEN 17 TO 20 MILES A DAY. THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT WAS DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER TALKED WITH GM TECH SUPPORT WHO ALSO AGREED WITH THE DEALER THAT I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR ENOUGH. THEY ALSO CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE PARASITIC DRAW AND THEY ALL ARE FINE. ONCE AGAIN THEY RECHARGED MY BATTERY. ONE MONTH LATER IN MARCH THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE AND TOLD ME THAT GM TECH SUPPORT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND NO FURTHER TESTS WILL BE DONE. THEY AGREED TO LET ME COME IN AND HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. APPROX TWO WEEKS LATER THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AND IT WAS FAILING SO THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO HAVE MY BATTERY TESTED UNTIL THE END OF APRIL. I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL JULY 06 WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I HAD IT JUMPSTARTED AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AGAIN AND FOUND NOTHING. ALL WAS WELL UNTIL NOV 06 WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALER ONLY KEEPS THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND HAS NOT TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CAR STARTS NORMALLY WITH NO PROBLEM AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. *NM

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT I AM LEASING SINCE 11/1/2005 AND SINCE AUGUST 2006 I HAVE BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY AND ENGINE ON AND OFF. THEN FINALLY ON AUGUST 21, 2006 I WENT TO GO START IT AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WHICH STARTED LEAKING BATTERY ACID INTO THE ENGINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IN MID SEPTEMBER 2006, I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND WENT TO START MY CAR TO GO HOME AND IT WAS DEAD. I WAS AT A STORE AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED AGAIN TO A NEAREST DEALER. THERE THEY FOUND IT WAS A WIRING HARNESS CHAFE AROUND THE STARTER MOTOR AND ALSO CONCERNING THE AIR CONDITIONING LINES AND THAT CAUSED A FEW FUSES TO BLOW. AS OF TODAY NOVEMBER 28, 2006 I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR AND THE DEALER CANT FIND WHATS WRONG. THE CAR JUST TURNED ONE YEAR AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY A PORTABLE JUMP STARTER BECASUE THIS CAR IS SO UNPREDICTABLE. IT HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS AND I AM TIRED OF IT. *NM

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE STARTING. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT I'VE HAD THE CAR JUMP STARTED 3 TIMES. AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL CRANK.

ON 6/29/2006 I TOOK IT IN FOR THIS AND THEY PUT GREASE ON MY WINDOWS AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH. IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING STOPPED WORKING AS WELL, SO ON 7/8/2006 I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH AGAIN AND REPAIRED THE WIRES TO THE WARNING FOR SEAT BELT.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE. WHEN TEMPERATURE IS COLD, BELOW 30 DEGREES F, STABILITRAK DOES NOT WORK AND MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED IN MESSAGE CENTER. WHEN TEMP IS ABOVE 30, STABILITRAK WORKS FINE. WITHOUT TRACTION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SLIDES OVER THE ROAD, LOSING TRACTION VERY EASILY. *NM
