2008 PONTIAC G6 Steering Problems

Car shuts off & other lights light up on dash. Not driving over 20mph.

No warning lights came on, steering kepted locking up shutting off the vehicle

GM claims to have already completed a safety recall for Power steering, but I didn't see any issues with the power steering prior to them doing this service except for the "Power steering" message on the display. The only reason I brought in at that time (5/18/2023) was to replace the gauge cluster which they also had to replace a second time due to faulty replacement. And now the new issue with power steering still continues to persist (steering wheel locks up while driving). Also the "Power steering" error message was never cleared after the initial service. I have a carfax report showing the power steering being serviced by 2 other GM dealerships after the initial service. This is an electric power steering system so there's no fluid that can leak and should not need serviced multiple times in the same year. They now refuse to fix the issue saying that it's now my problem because the part they replaced is out of warranty. The customer service rep for GM told me there wasn't anything more they could do because it's a 2008! I'm sorry but that should not matter considering the car is still under 200k miles and only 10000 miles were driven before we took it back the second time, and 2000 miles before taking it back the third time. They also claimed that safety was their primary concern at the same time they tell me there's nothing more they will do. This definitely a safety concern but GM doesn't actually care. I'm trying to prevent an accident but they are not. I really hope a pedestrian doesn't step out in front of me the next time the steering wheel locks up because I won't be able to swerve to miss them.

Power steering motor went I have no power steering

The dashboard showed an error message regarding the power steering. I took it to my mechanic and they put it on the computer to scan. It came back with 2 error codes. The first one was DTC C0569 46. The second one was DTC C0460 00/4B. I was told the dealership would have to address the issue. They told me these codes were not covered by the recalled part they replaced. The car has approximately 81,500 miles. There doesn't appear to be a leak. At this time the steering is working. There is no stiffness or squealing. This first popped up on the screen about a month ago. I've been concerned about driving it until I know more.

Power steering stopped working

Power steering popped up on radio whenever I turn it to the left or right while driving.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the power steering warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel then independently turned. The contact stated that the steering wheel had previously became inoperable and seized. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the torque sensor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Vehicle has a sudden loss of power steering exactly described in recall reference number 14V153000 yet this vehicle is not covered by this recall. The EPS motor controller unit has failed. Two independent service centers have confirmed this. It's concerning that if this vehicle was manufactured 6 months previously it would be covered for the same exact issue. no warning lamps came on until after the vehicle had a loss of power steering. it displayed service power steering in the message center after the failure. The failed unit is being replaced by a independent service center and will be available for inspection.

Power steering is disabled while driving sometimes. In the past few weeks, right after starting the car, "POWER STEERING" will appear on the drivers information center, and the steering wheel will not turn unless using much more than normal force. Turning off and restarting the car eventually returns steering wheel to normal operation. Within the past few days the power steering has been disable while actively driving. Vehicle will start with no issues relating to power steering, but after a random time period while driving the "POWER STEERING" warning is displayed again. This has caused an immediate and unexpected return to fully manual steering while driving; much more force is needed to turn the steering wheel. This could be dangerous if in the middle of a turn power steering is disabled. Vehicle has not been inspected, yet.

Power steering went out mid-drive last week after the vehicle was purchased Used from Groove Subaru of Littleton, Colorado. The power steering went out again this morning while driver attempted to leave driveway. During both instances, driver turned the vehicle off then back on to get power steering again. The driver is elderly. The driver struggled to pull the vehicle over out of traffic when this happened the first time. All safety recalls have reportedly already been taken care of

Power Steering goes out without warning. I was driving my vehicle and the power steering stopped working, making it extremely difficult to maneuver my vehicle around the many curves on the road I live on at the regulated 30mph speed limit. I parked my vehicle and started it an hour later and the power steering was now working. I have not driven the vehicle for 4 days due to the loss of power steering at any given moment.

When making turns the electronic power steering go out causing dangerous situations.

On 08/05/2020, my car was serviced by our local GM dealership to have 3 open recalls fixed. They replaced my steering torque sensor and power steering assist motor due to the power steering going out at random. As of April 2022, I am once again having power steering issues. The steering wheel shakes back and forth, and occasionally will throw an error code and stop working. This requires me to pull over, shut the car off, and restart the car several times while manually moving the steering wheel to get it to work without throwing an error code. I used my own scan tool to diagnose the problem, and I'm getting a code "C0545-00 Steering Wheel Torque Input Sensor". This would be the same sensor that was supposedly replaced less than two years ago. I contacted the dealership, and they stated that they do not guarantee recall work, and that all services are performed "as-is". I contacted General Motors, and they want me to pay a $100 diagnostics fee to tell me what I already know, along with parts and labor for the repairs. The customer service representative rudely explained that the NHTSA is responsible for recall work (which doesn't sound right). Because this is a major safety concern, I don't feel that I should have to pay out of pocket considering this was already a recall that they were forced to address.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the power steering warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle while driving. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with an electrical power steering assist failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed her that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 173,000.

While in operation power assist stops working requires heavy input from driver to steer. Power assist works again on restart but issue reoccurring randomly. Their is a recall on this model for the same issue but being told my vehicle is not covered under that recall. Recall #14V153000 issued on 3/31/14.

About two weeks ago, my steering wheel locked up while driving on the expressway. Luckily I was in the far right lane and was able to pull over without causing a car accident. Once pulled over, I shut off the vehicle and called my mom. While on the phone, she told me to try to start it up again. This time, the steering wheel turned with no problem. Hastily, I drove home. I have made arrangements to take it to the nearest auto shop working on power steering problems.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle lost steering functionality. The contact stated that as his daughter turned off and restarted the vehicle several times and the steering wheel functionality returned; however, the steering was shaking. The TPMS warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving and turning. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering) was previously repaired. The contact was informed that the recall repair was a one-time free repair and that she would be responsible to pay out of pocket for any repairs. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the rack and pinion and intermediate steering shaft replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000.

Power steering has been going out all of a sudden. The steering wheel locks up and is difficult to turn. My safety and the safety of others around me was put at risk because I cannot easily turn the wheel and respond to a situation quickly if I needed to. I basically have to drive in a straight line and not turn. Turning the car on and off seems to help for a little while but the problem still continues. I have not taken the car to be looked at by anyone.The words "power steering" flashed across the radio. This first started to happen when the wheel started to lock up a few days ago. The vehicle has a separate issue were the seat belt monitor does not work for the drivers side. It dings even if I am buckled up.

THE STEERING IS VERY BAD AFTER SERVICING THE VEHICLE AND SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS WHICH IS A RECALL ON THE KELLEY BLUE BOOK PAGE ALSO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. WINDOWS WONT GO UP OR DOWN DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS AND GM SAID THAT YOUR RECALLS ARE INCORRECT!!!! I KNOW THAT THESE RECALLS ARE INDEED NEEDED SEVERELY. PLEASE HELP!

WITHOUT WARNING POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I WAS ONLY BACKING UP DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. VERY DIFFUCULT TO STEER VEHICLE MANUALLY. POWER ASSIST STEERING MODULE, WAS ALREADY REPLACE +/- 5 YEARS AGO. BUT WHEN I RESTART VEHICLE ACTS NORMAL, BUT THEN JUST FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. HESITANT TO DRIVE CAR NOW, DUE TO UNPREDICTABILTY OF STEERING. NO WAY, I WOULD LET ONE ON MY KIDS DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING TO TOWN, AND WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL, AND WHILE ON A CURVED SECTION OF ROAD, CHIME CAME ON, POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARED ON RADIO SCREEN, CAR BEGAN GOING STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE CURVE. I FORCED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. TURNED CAR AROUND AND DROVE BACK HOME. CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. STEERING WORKS NOW, BUT FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MOVING THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY, THIS PAST WINTER. I KNOW MANY FOLKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING, BUT THEY DON'T REPORT IT.

NOT UNTIL THEN DID HE TELL ME THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2014 AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO SERVICED IT. THE POWER STEERING HAS SINCE FAILED ALL TOGETHER AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GM DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM $700-$1000. I'VE ALSO READ THAT OTHERS HAD THEIR RECALL SERVICED ONLY TO SAY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY CARS (WITH YOUNG DRIVERS BEHIND THE WHEEL) ARE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS. THE PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY FOR A YOUNG DRIVER. I ALSO HAVE TO WONDER IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. I'M FINE WITH THE RECALL BUT I EXPECT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED AFTER RECALL SERVICE AND IT CLEARLY IS NOT.

RANDOMLY MY CARS POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN I START MY CAR. AT TIMES I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET IT TO UNLOCK. TODAY IT TOOK ME 5 TIMES STARTING AND SHUTTING IT OF AND RESTARTING BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN. IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES AND TODAY WAS JUST THE LATEST.

THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2014 ABOUT FAULTY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEMS FOR THE 2008 PONTIAC G6. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT REPAIRED. I AM NOW AGAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT AGAIN WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN. I ALSO CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR. GM SHOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT IS FIXED CORRECTLY. THERE ARE MANY BLOGS AND FORUMS WITH PEOPLE IN THE SAME POSITION AS I AM AND NO ONE INCLUDING NHTSA IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

LAST TUESDAY, JANUARY 29TH WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR ROAD HERE IN MEMPHIS, I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO ANOTHER BUSY STREET AND MY STEERING WHEEL INSTANTLY WENT STIFF THEN POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS MY DISPLAY SCREEN ALONG WITH THE CHIME. I HAD TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION SO I TRIED COMPLETE THE TURN. I GOT MY CAR TO TURN BUT WITH A LOT OF FORCE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED MY CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. I CONTEMPLATED WHETHER I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED OR TRY TO MAKE IT HOME. I CALLED GM ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAD MY POWER STEERING SERVICED IN 2014 UNDER A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR, IT WAS REPLACED. GM CONNECTED ME WITH A CERTIFIED GM DEALER NEAR ME (CHUCK HUTTON CHEVROLET) TO HAVE IT CHECKED. CHUCK HUTTON CHEVROLET ON MT. MORIAH RD. DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW POWER STEERING SHAFT TORQUE AND THAT MY REPAIR WILL BE NEARLY $700. UNFORTUNATELY, THE RECALL EXPIRED IN FEBRUARY 2018. IF THIS HAD OF HAPPENED AGAIN BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED, THEN MY REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. IT'S SO PUZZLING TO ME THAT MY CAR HAD ABOUT 67K MILES IN 2014 WHEN I HAD THIS PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. I AM AT 125K MILES NOW AND THE PART HAS GONE OUT AGAIN.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND IT SAYS 'POWER STEERING' ON THE RADIO. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL KEEPS RATTLING SINCE THE MOMENT I TURN IT ON AND WHEN DRIVING IT KEEPS RATTLING AND MOVING MY CAR LEFT AND RIGHT. THE TIRED CAN NOT BE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I KEEP THAT ON POINT AND I ALSO CHANGE THE OIL EVERYTIME IT IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT HAS BEEN WORSENING.

ON DECEMBER 27TH, 2018 I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 68MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE TO THE LEFT LANE, WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING. MY CAR IS THE 4 CYLINDER, WHICH MEANS IT HAS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. "POWER STEERING" SHOWED ON MY DISPLAY ALONG WITH A CHIME. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER 10 SECONDS, I STARTED IT BACK UP, AND REGAINED THE POWER STEERING. I CONTINUED ON FOR ABOUT 15 MILES TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER WORK, I DROVE AROUND 25 MILES TO TOWN, AND THEN DROVE AROUND RUNNING ERRANDS WITH NO ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, AT THE SAME SPEED, ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MILES. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY CAR'S YEAR, BUT SEARCHING WITH THE VIN NUMBER, IT DOESN'T SHOW THE RECALL APPLIES. IN AUGUST OF 2015 GM ISSUED A BULLETIN 15356 DETAILING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE PARTS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, IF THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, OR 150K MILES, THE SPECIAL COVERAGE DOES NOT APPLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I FEEL RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO MY CAR. I ALSO FEEL THE SPECIAL COVERAGE SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED. IF THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE OF IT, WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHETHER HOW OLD THE CAR IS, IT'S A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED.

RACK AND PINION FAILURE CAN LEAD TO A CAR ACCIDENT. THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED AROUND 3 YEARS AGO DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THE STEERING IS STIFF WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.

SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, LEAVING DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO STEER IN EITHER DIRECTION. CAUSING THE CAR TO BE UNUSABLE FOR ITS INABILITY TO CHANGE DIRECTION AT ANY GIVEN TIME INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH. THE MONITOR DISPLAYING THE CLOCK JUST HAD A MESSAGE THAT READ "POWER STEERING". MY EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED 5 MPH, I WOULD THEN PARK IT SAFELY, TURN IT OFF AND USE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. THIS WOULD HAPPEN 1-2 TIMES IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN RESPONSE TO MY VIN NOT BEING COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN RECALL # 14V153000, ALTHOUGH MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ARE ALL LISTED UNDER THE RECALL, JUST NOT MY SPECIFIC CAR.

Mileage: 160,000

IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE CAR BEING PARKED AND STARTING, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES OF TURNING THE IGNITION ON AND OFF BEFORE IT WOULD START WORKING. NOW, IT DOES IT AT BOTH STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE TRAVELING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS; THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SIMILAR VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR.

Mileage: 105,000

WHEN I START MY CAR, I RECEIVE A POWER STEERING WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT MOVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE AND THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN IM AT A RED LIGHT. TO GET IT BACK TO NORMAL I HAVE TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND CUT IT BACK ON.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POWER STEERING. WHEN I START THE CAR, IT ONLY WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO TURN HE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR 3-4 TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. IF IT GOES OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING, I COULD EASILY GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. MY SEAT BELT SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. IT BEEPS AND DINGS AT ME WHILE I'M DRIVING, VERY DISTRACTING...MAKES ME JUMP WHEN I'M CONCENTRATING ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HEADLIGHT 3-4 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. THE HARNESS WAS ALL MELTED WHEN THE MECHANIC GOT IT OUT. NOT ONLY IS IT ILLEGAL FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT ALL LIGHTS WORKING BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. ALSO, I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS...THAT THEY MAY NOT LIGHT WHILE BRAKING, OR ILLUMINATE WHILE I'M NOT BRAKING. IT SAID NOT TO TAKE IT TO BE FIXED IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN POSSIBLY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE REAR ENDS ME?

A YEAR AGO I HAD THE POWER STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. YESTERDAY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR (THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED). YET THE WARRANTY FROM THE LAST ONE I HAD REPLACED WAS UP. I CALLED GM TO SEE ABOUT THE DEFICIENT PART AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. ALSO, THEY DO NO SELL THE SENSOR TO CUSTOMERS, ONLY TO A DEALERSHIP - SO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN JUST TO GET A NEW SENSOR - THE PART THAT I JUST HAD REPLACED FROM THE RECALL! MY QUESTION IS NOW DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING DEFICIENT PARTS THAT THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND?!

2008 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND NEAR CRASHES. I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES, INTO OTHER VEHICLES, AND ACROSS MY FRONT LAWN WHEN TRYING TO TURN OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON 12/18/17 FOR RECALL #14118 (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING). UNDER THIS RECALL, DEALERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE THE EPS MOTOR. MY EPS MOTOR WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, REPLACING THIS MOTOR DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW RENDERED USELESS TO ME BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT ANY OTHER WORK PERFORMED TO RESOLVE THE POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT-OF-POCKET BY ME. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT (HENCE THE RECALLS) AND SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR ALLEVIATING THE PROBLEM CREATED BY THIS DEFECT.

AS FOR THE U JOINT ISSUE WITH STEERING. IVE SPENT WELL OVER $2,000 ON TRYING TO GET MY STEERING/SUSPENSION FIXED AND IT STILL HAS PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO GET THE VEHICLE ALIGNED EVERY MONTH. THE STEERING EITHER JOLTS TO ONE SIDE WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP. OR ANOTHER WAY WHEN FLOORING IT. ITS BEYOND DANGEROUS! WHEN TURNING A CORNER, YOU HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL YOURSELF OR ELSE THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO GO WHERE THE WHEEL IT TURNED. I FEAR TAKING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE ALIGNED, ALIGNMENT ONLY WORKS FOR 2 WEEKS, THEN IT BACK TO WHERE PROBLEMS STARTED.

I ASKED TO HAVE THIS MAILED OR EMAILED TO ME AND WAS TOLD "WE DON'T DO THAT". I ALSO TOLD HER ABOUT THE STRONG GAS SMELL AND I ONLY GET 125-150 MILES ON A FULL TANK.

MY PARENTS PURCHASED THE CAR FOR ME ON MARCH 1, 2013 WITH 97,629 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAD THE INTERMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACE JULY 9, 2014 BECAUSE I WAS INTERMITTENTLY HEARING A POPPING NOSE WHEN I TURNED OR BACK UP WHILE TURNING. IT HAS PRETTY MUCH DONE THIS THE ENTIRE TIME AFTER A FEW WEEKS I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. EVEN AFTER GETTING IT REPLACED LAST JULY, IT WAS QUIET FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN STARTED AGAIN. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED DAILY THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS FROM AGES 5-15 THAT ARE WITH ME. I DRIVE THEM TO SCHOOL 15 MILES AWAY AND PICK THEM UP.

STEERING WHEEL CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND IS HARD TO CONTROL, ESPECIALLY FOR A SMALLER WOMAN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND IS GETTING WORSE. AT FIRST THE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON, THEN IT SHOOK HERE AND THERE OR IT WOULD SHAKE UNTIL THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE SHAKING WOULD STOP.

NEWER VEHICLES HAVE A PROCEDURE FOR OWNERS TO INITIATE THIS SETUP THEMSELVES AND REPROGRAM THE TIRES AND KEY FOBS, BUT NOT 2008. THE LACK OF TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WHEN THEY WERE THERE PRIOR SHOULD TRIGGER AT MINIMUM A WARNING ON EVERY START. IT CAN TELL ME I NEED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY DAY. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF A LOW VOLTAGE EVENT IS TERRIBLE CIRCUIT DESIGN / BAD PROGRAMMING. IF AN OWNER CHARGES HIS KID'S DVD PLAYER AND IT KILLS THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY THE MANDATORY TMPS SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK, AND NOT WORK WITHOUT WARNING. HOPEFULLY THE DAY THE DVD PLAYER NEEDS A CHARGE ISN'T THE SAME DAY THEY DEVELOP A MEDIUM LEAK DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAINS OF UTAH, BECAUSE THE DRIVER WON'T BE NOTIFIED THE SYSTEM FORGOT THE SENSOR ID'S AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THOSE PRESSURE READINGS ANYMORE, EVEN THE FALLING PRESSURE ON THE TIRE HOLDING THE CAR IN THE CORRECT LANE AT A 8% GRADE, DOWNHILL. #1 FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE. #2 DON'T CHARGE ME TO RE-PROGRAM SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAFE AND WAS CORRECTED ON NEWER VEHICLES. *TR

THE FIRST WAS THE STEERING COLUMN, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN ITSELF. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND SO I PULLED OVER AND USED MY CELL TO RECORD THE MOVEMENT IT WAS MAKING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A COMPUTER MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN.( AFTER SHOWING THE VIDEO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THREATENING TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NEWS NETWORK) SOON AFTER THE POPPING BEGAN IN THE COLUMN WHILE TURNING. THE MODULE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE "LUBE KIT" FOR THE POPPING IN THE COLUMN HAD TO BE OUT OF MY WALLET TO FIX. ( OH HOW I LOVE THE ASS HATS AT GM ). STILL HAVE POPPING WHEN TURNING. THEN CAME THE RANDOMNESS TO THE HEADLIGHTS WORKING. ( OR NOT WORKING ) REPLACED BULBS IN LOW BEAM ( BOTH SIDES ) SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE NOTICED CORROSION IN CONNECTORS. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY ON. THE LIGHTS BEING ON CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK OR SHUT OFF WHEN LIGHTS ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN.

THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MOVING ON ITS OWN, ACTUALLY TRYING TO WRESTLE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE DRIVER AND STEER THE CAR. THE "POWER STEERING" WARNING LIGHT IN THE DRIVER ALERT CONSOLE CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHIME TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF AN EVENT. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF CLUNKING AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH AS WELL AS WHEN THE WHEELS, DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING, APPLY FORCE AGAINST THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE POWER STEERING IS APPLYING FORCE TO COUNTER IT, AS IT SHOULD, BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE MAKING ALL THE NOISE THAT IT IS. THE CLUNK ARISES WHEN THE DIRECTION CHANGES AND IS MOST NOTICEABLE UNDER SLIGHT MOVEMENTS, NOT DURING A TURN. THE RACK-AND-PINION, TIE RODS, STRUTS, LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ARE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE SO IT IS NOT WORN STEERING GEAR, IT IS BEFORE THE RACK-AND-PINION. THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WILL APPLY ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT WILL MAKE THE CAR CHANGE LANES IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT QUICKLY REACT TO IT AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO PREVENT THE INVOLUNTARY LANE CHANGE.

UPON THE PURCHASE OF A BRAND NEW PONTIAC G6 IN 2008, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM ABOUT THE 5000 MILE MARK. IT BEGAN WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO OFF AND COME ON WHILE DRIVING. A MONTH LATER STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO KNOCK WHEN MAKING TURNS, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REGREASED THE SHAFT AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THE NOISE. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL NOT HURT ANYTHING AND WILL NOT REGREASE IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL HEAD LAMPS, ONCE ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS AND WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE THEY MELT. THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 AND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE; IT LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT JUST MAGICALLY FIXES ITSELF. I HAD TROUBLE PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK IN JANUARY 2013 AND MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I LEFT IT IN FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CAME BACK OUT. YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2013 THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON. WE HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NONE OUT.

THE STEERING IS GRINDING, IT IS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE STEERING SHAKES AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT IS UNSAFE AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING ON THE PONTIAC G-6'S AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. I DID FIND A 2008 PONTIAC G6 STEERING SERVICE BULLETIN 288506, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY STATED IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY CAR.

WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO DIRT IN THE BRAKES. IN 2011 MY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO CHECK MY FUEL CAP. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, AND ENDED UP PAYING TO HAVE SOMETHING IN THE FUEL SYSTEM CHANGED. I AM STILL ENCOUNTERING ISSUES WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO CHECK THE FUEL CAP. THE GAS MILEAGE IS TERRIBLE! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO IT BEING WINTER. I THEN WAITED UNTIL SUMMER AND STILL AM EXPERIENCING FUEL ISSUES. A MAJOR ISSUE IN WHICH I HAVE NOTED THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PONTIAC OWNERS ARE HAVING IS WITH THE STEERING. MY STEERING IS MAKING TERRIBLE CLANKING NOISES. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK ON MY CAR. I AM SELF EMPLOYED AND TAKE CLIENTS ON ERRANDS/DR APPOINTMENTS AND RELY ON MY CAR TO GET US THERE SAFELY.

NOW WHENEVER I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A LOUD PIERCING WHINNING NOISE LIKE RUBBER OR SOMTHING IS ABOUT TO SNAP. IT IS EVEN LOUDER THAN IT WAS A YEAR AGO. IT CAN'T BE SAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED GM HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ARCADIAS, BUT GM HAS DECIDED TO PAY FOR THE FIX ON THAT VEHICLE BUT NOT DESIGN THE PART TO FIX THE PONTIAC G6. THEY STATED THAT PART WOULD NOT FIT MY G6. THEY ALSO STATED BECAUSE G6S ARE NO LONGER BEING MADE, THEY HAVE NO REASON TO FIT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW HOW TO FIT IT ON THE ARCADIA'S, THEN THEY SHOULD BE FIXING IT FOR FREE ON THE PONTIAC G6S. I THINK THIS IS SUCH BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FEEL THEY WILL BE LOSING MANY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED GM OVER THE YEARS. HONESTLY, I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THIS NOISE, BECAUSE I FEEL THE MORE I DRIVE, THE WORSE IT GETS, UNTIL THE POINT SOMETHING IN THAT STEERING WILL SNAP AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN DECEMBER 2010 WHILE TURNING STEERING WHEEL (EX..MAKING TURNS) ..LOUD CLUNKING NOISE OCCURS TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT. TOOK TO GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING RACK AND SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I'VE HAD SEVERAL NEW AND USED CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR REPAIRS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS COST ME $833 TO FIX. NOW JULY 2011 THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHILE SITTING AT IDLE. STEERING WHEEL MOVES LEFT AND RIGHT BY ITSELF WHILE SITTING AT INTERSECTION. STEERING TO THE LEFT IS VERY LOOSE AND WHEN TRYING TO STEER BACK TO THE RIGHT IS VERY TIGHT. IT IS VERY SCARY TRYING DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR MOVING STRAIGHT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE GM DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY TELL ME THE STEERING BOX IS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST: $350~. AFTER 1 MONTH WAIT FOR THE STEERING BOX UNIT ARRIVAL/BACK ORDER. WE TAKE THE CAR TO REPAIRED AND WHEN THE GM TECH OPENS THE PART PACKAGE THEY TELL US THE NEW PART IS DAMAGED AND WE HAVE TO WAIT LONGER THE NEXT PART THEY ORDER. THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE COVERED BY & RECALLED BY GM. THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER GM CARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WHY AREN'T THE G6 CARS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY GM THE PARTS ARE THE SAME WITH THE COBALT, HHR, SOME SATURNS. THIS IS OVER $1100 OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM GM. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 7 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD WIND SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAFT AND THE STRUTS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE IDENTICAL FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON A SEPARATE OCCASION WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL DEFECT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE STEERING WHEEL COMPONENTS WERE LUBRICATED TO PREVENT THE WIND SOUND WHICH THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,300.

THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENS UP WHEN DRIVING. THE WHEEL WILL MOVE BACK AND FORTH LIKE A VIBRATION. THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WHEN THE STEERING PROBLEM OCCURS. THE ISSUE BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2009 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE, MEANING MORE CONSISTENT AND REGULAR. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE VEHICLE WHEN PONTIAC SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I REGULARLY COMMUTE ON THE INTERSTATE AND FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT. AN ACCIDENT HAS NOT OCCURRED, BUT PONTIAC SHOULD RECALL THE 2008 PONTIAC G6 TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE FUTURE ACCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CAR HAVE AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE STEERING IS UNCONTROLLABLE, THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH AND IS VERY LOOSE. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THAT POWER STEERING IS LOSS AND BECOME HARD TO CONTROL. SOMETIMES THE DISPLAY READS POWER STEERING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. THE COST WAS $780. THE RECENT COBALT AND G5 RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE G6. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A NEW EPS MOTOR INSTALLED WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL COVERS. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH PONTIAC AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC. *TR

IN OCTOBER MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS HARD TO KEEP MY CAR IN ONE LANE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEN. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO STEER (LIKE DRIVING AN OLDER MODEL CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING). I DRIVE 90 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO WORK AND TRAVEL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP MY CAR IN ONE LANE. MY STEERING WHEEL POPS. WHEN I STOP MY STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST AROUND 550.00 TO REPAIR. I TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS A DEFECT. IF PONTIAC HAS RECALLED THE G5 AND THE G8 SHOULDN'T THEY RECALL THE G6. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 5 MONTHS. PONTIAC SHOULD REPAIR ALL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR INTO CITY CHEVROLET IN NOV 09 TO HAVE THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS, IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR 2 DAYS AND HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IN AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THEY FORGOT TO TIGHTEN THE SHAFT. NOW THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN BUT MUCH WORSE, THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER A TURN COMES BACK TO THE RESTING POSITION IN A JERKY FASHION AND CONTINUES GOING LEFT UNTIL IT FINALLY RESTS, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING AND ALL SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 PONTIAC G6 WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING, IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO TURN WHEN DIRECTED TO DO SO. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 THAT IS HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THE PONTIAC G5 IS HAVING. I TOOK IT TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CHARGE WOULD BE OVER $600.00. ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS OVER 40,000 MILES, I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM IN A SAME TYPE OF MODEL AUTO. POWER STEERING KEEPS COMING UP ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A USED 2008 PONTIAC G6. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, IT WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE INSIDE HIS LANE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FEEL HARD, AS IF IT WOULD POSSIBLY LOCK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME AND THERE WERE NEVER ANY WARNING LIGHTS THAT WOULD ILLUMINATE TO INDICATE A POSSIBLE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE WAS REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THERE WERE NO FURTHER FAILURES FOLLOWING THE REPAIRS.

I HAD THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SECTOR REPLACED AND IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD THE POWER STEERING UNIT WOULD STOP WORKING FOR SHORT PERIODS WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES SHAKES WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED. THIS SHAKING IS SIMILAR TO THE SHAKING THAT WOULD OCCUR WHEN A TIRE IS BADLY OUT OF BALANCE DURING DRIVING. *TR

I OWN A 2008 PONTIAC G-6 (VALUE LEADER MODEL) 2.4L ENGINE WITH ELECTRIC STEERING. AT 15,000 MILES THE MOTOR FOR THE ELECTRIC STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING A DTC AND P/S MESSAGE ON THE RADIO DIC, I HAD NO POWER STEERING AT THIS POINT. THE MOTOR AND CONTROL MODULE WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. AT 66,000 THE STEERING BEGIN HAVING RANDOM MOVEMENT LEFT TO RIGHT ON ITS OWN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ON THREE OCCASIONS THE LOST OF STEERING CONTROL NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING LEFT TO RIGHT IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. SINCE THIS STARTED THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THREE TIMES. THE OUTCOME THUS FAR IS THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ALSO HAD CLUNKING NOISE AND MOVEMENT UP AND DOWN BY PULLING ON STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH 2ND GENERATION SHAFT FROM A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. ON 12/23/2009 I PAID TO HAVE THE TORQUE/POSITION SENSOR REPLACED AND CALIBRATED. AFTER SIX DAYS OF DRIVING THE CAR THE RANDOM MOVEMENT LEFT TO RIGHT AND CONTROL LOSS CAME BACK. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TEST DRIVING TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DUPLICATED ON 01/12/2010 MY OPTIONS SEEM TO BE AT THIS POINT FOR GM TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN OR HELP REPLACE THE CAR. I AM CURRENTLY NOT HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLE AND FEAR FOR MY SAFETY TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN BECAUSE IT DRIVES FINE UNTIL YOU TRY AND TURN A CORNER OR PULL OUT TO PASS SOMEONE, WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT IF ANYTHING HAS GM DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SAID THAT IT HAS AN ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. OF COURSE THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE PART IN STOCK BECAUSE THE SAID ALL G6'S HAVE FAULTY STEERING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE CRASHES AND IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY THE $700 TO GET IT FIXED WHEN THIS IS SOMETHING THEY ARE AWARE OF. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY SAFETY I HOPE THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 THAT HAS 20,800 MILES. WHILE TURNING THERE IS A POPPING NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. STEERING WHEEL BEGAN JERKING LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN IDLING AND IS NOW DOING IT WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE POWER STEERING WARNING ON DASH CAME ON. I WILL BE TAKING THIS CAR IN FOR REPAIRS TOMORROW, BUT I BEGAN GOOGLING FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A SILENT RECALL ON THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS OF THE G6, BUT I THINK THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED. WHILE THE STEERING ISSUE HAS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, IS HAS BECOME A MAJOR CONCERN AS THE JERKING MADE HIGHWAY DRIVING UNSAFE. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING A FEW DAYS AGO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. AS A CONSEQUENCE HER RISK FOR A VEHICLE CRASH WAS INCREASED. SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN PER THE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I NOTICED A "KLUNKING" SOUND SOMEWHERE IN THE STEERING ASSEMBLY OF MY 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT TODAY (UNDER WARRANTY) WITHOUT QUESTION. WITH SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I SEE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH REGARD TO THIS VEHICLE. THANKFULLY, SO FAR I'VE ONLY BEEN INCONVENIENCED, NOT INJURED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER TO PREVENT INCONVENIENCE AT BEST, AND INJURY AT WORST TO OTHER G6 OWNERS, AND ENCOURAGE PONTIAC TO COME FORWARD AND DO A RECALL REGARDING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU! *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UNCONTROLLABLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT IT DOES HAS A BINDING AND ROCKING MOTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESET THE POWER STEERING AFTER ITS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. GM HAS DONE NOTHING AND THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF THE DATE OF THIS POSTING TO REPLACE OR FIX THE DISCREPANCY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT THAT COULD CAUSE A FATALITY IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED AND I PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT SO FAR AND I HOPE THAT THEY TAKE THERE COMPLAINTS TO GM AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT. JUST TO SET THE RECORD MY VEHICLE HAS APPROX 49535 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 30 TIMES WITH IT GETTING WORSE. I SURELY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIX. *TR

VEHICLE TYPE IS 2006 PONTIAC G6. FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED - THERE IS NO POWER STEERING WHAT SO EVER. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKS. THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN MORE CONCERNING. IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN A LEFT TURN WAS MADE THE CAR "DINGS" AND THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" COMES UP ON THE RADIO. NOW 2 DAYS IN A ROW WE WERE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND RECEIVED THE "POWER STEERING MESSAGE". THE CAR HAS NEVER LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED UPON READING OTHER CONSUMER COMMENTS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 12K MILES ON IT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED "U" JOINT ( I BELIEVE) SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS "SEIZING". RECEIPT STATES INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPLACED. STILL HAVING PROBLEM -PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IS AT A LOSS. *TR

THERE IS A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 11/03/08 AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CLUNKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO LUBRICATE THE SHAFT AS THE FIRST STEP TO RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE CLUNKING NOISE HAS BEEN REDUCED DRAMATICALLY, BUT I KNOW I WILL BE BRINGING THIS VEHICLE BACK IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT A PREVIOUS CAR, 2006 G-6, IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 10/24/08 AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE STEERING RACK BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 503.15. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS 3,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY 3RD PONTIAC G-6 ON 11/07/08. IT IS JUST AMAZING THAT I HAVE THREE OF THESE VEHICLES, AND THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL THAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER AT NO CHARGE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

2008 PONTIAC G6 HAS ISSUES WITH POSSIBLE DEFECTS. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WANDERED. AT 60 MPH, THE WANDERING INCREASED AND CONSTANT CORRECTIONS HAD TO BE MADE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO HIGH AND TOO FAR FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS FOOT DID NOT COME TO REST EVENLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, RATHER HIS FOOT CAME TO REST UNEVENLY ON THE PEDAL. THE STEERING WAS INADEQUATE. WHEN THE RATIO BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT DRIVING SUSPENSION WAS TOO LARGE, SO AT TIMES OF AN EMERGENCY WHEN A QUICK TURN OF THE WHEEL IS NECESSARY TO AVOID A COLLISION, SUCH RESPONSE IS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE RESPONSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SLUGGISH. THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN WITH EASE, BUT REQUIRED EXCESSIVE TURNING AND EXCESSIVE STRENGTH. THE SUNVISOR EXTENDED TOO FAR DOWN WHICH IMPAIRED THE CONSUMERS VISIBILITY. *JB

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING A 2007 PONTIAC G-6. SHE WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE ENTERING THE EXPRESS WAY AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO HER TURNING THE WHEEL THEREFORE THE CAR WENT INTO THE DITCH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSIQUENTLY SHE FRACTURED HER BACK. SEPTEMBER 2007 IN NOVEMBER 2007 MY SON WAS DRIVING A 2008 PONTIAC G-6. HE WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. THE CAR ROLLED OVER HIT A TREE AND KILLED MY SON. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. *TR

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ENTERING AN EXIT RAMP AT 50 MPH. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I'VE NOW PARKED MY VEHICLE AND HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING IT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN UNDER AGE 4 AND CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO BE IN THAT DEATH TRAP. AFTER I PULLED OVER TO A SAFE AREA, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND ABOUT 10 MIN LATER ON AGAIN. AFTER THAT, MY STEERING WAS FINE. I'VE ALSO HAD THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED 3 TIMES FOR A CLICK SOUND THAT IS MADE ANYTIME I TURN TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE THE STEERING LINKS OR EVEN THE TIE RODS AND STRUTS. IT STILL MAKES THAT SOUND. EITHER WAY, ALL THREE TIMES A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION BECAUSE THEY WERE SURE THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE CLICK AND ALL MY FRONT END ISSUES. WHEN I HAD THE FIRST RACK AND PINION REPLACED, THE WATER PUMP ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. I HAD THE SAME BODY SHOP WORK ON THE VEHICLE EACH TIME SOMETHING WAS REPLACED. I'VE FEEL JIPPED. I PAY ALMOST 400 A MONTH FOR A CAR THAT COULD KILL ME! A DEFINITE RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE KILLS SOMEONE ELSE OR THEIR CHILDREN DIE OR THEMSELVES. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS THING HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SO LONG AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. IT'S ABSURD. *TR
