2009 PONTIAC G6 Steering Problems

There is an immediate loss of steering while driving a 2009 Pontiac G6. The steering wheel locks up making it difficult, at times impossible, to steer the vehicle left or right. The only way to unlock the steering wheel is by placing the vehicle in 'Park' and turn the ignition off to restart the vehicle.

I purchased a used 2009 Pontiac G6 3.9L almost 4 years ago. I have experienced white smoke pouring from under my hood 3 times so far. I've taken it to the dealership and first time was informed it was a bad power steering hose leaking onto the exhaust- preCat area. The second repair dealership said it was a faulty hose. The third time dealer said it was a bad motor mount. After extensive research online, found out several years of G6 cars have the high pressure power steering hose about 1 inch from the exhaust pipe. This is causing the hose to melt due to the heat. GMC started making heat protective wrap around these hoses which still does not solve the problem-still burns thru. With a simple online search 2006-2010 G6 with the v-6 engines are still having this problem, costing owners money/time and safety issues. When I saw the white smoke, I lost my power stearing, causing panic and difficult steering. GM should have a recall, find a permanent solution where owners/family can feel safer. Most of these cars have low miles considering the age- Are owners afraid to drive the car due to the power steering hoses and exhaust being too close. Causing more concern for safety, and the costs for repairs and tow trucks.

The power steering warning flashed on the radio and immediately the car was not controllable the car was stopped and restared and clicks now when turning the wheel but hasnt been driven becauseofthe steering and there are multiple recalls for this but this specific vin number is not included but has the eps that is referred to because it has a 2.4 l engine which only comes with eps

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the message "Power Steering" was displayed, and then there was a faint clicking sound before the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was taken to the residence; however, the failure recurred while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that only after restarting the vehicle with the steering wheel turned, the steering wheel would turn without difficulty for a short while, causing the contact to restart the vehicle with the steering wheel turned several times. The contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering), however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the recall had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000.

I was driving down the road around 25 miles per hour and I heard a beep like a chime and then power steering went out making it very hard to control the vehicle. Power steering was flashing on the dashboard. Turn vehicle off then back on it was fine and then a mile down the road done it again

Power steering goes out when it wants to, will go back on if you turn the car on and off , my safety for me and my daughter was at risk I couldn’t stop to turn it on and off because I wasn’t at a red light , it has not been inspected but it seems like the problem is we’ll known ,theirs a warning message that will pop up on the radio that you can’t hear go on or see until it’s to late

My eps keeps going in and out causing steering to be lost .loss of steering .I don't know.as the issue happened there was a display on radio said power steering,service traction control

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to maneuver. The power steering warning light illuminated, and the contact’s wife veered the vehicle off the road and turned off and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery and the torque sensor assembly failed and needed to be replaced.

The car steering wheel gets super loose over bumps. The car shuts off at anytime when driving. I got it check, there’s a unknown problem with electrical system

My Pontiac G6 has only 80,000 miles on it. Just starting the car to pull out if the garage; power steering goes out; can't steer. So, I shut car off; wait a few minutes restart car goes away. within one block or less from home dash light say power steering problems can't steer. So have to do the same as before shut car off restart car goes away then goes out again in a few seconds. Had the car sense it was new. Look up recall #14V153000 Bulletin 14116 an called Dealership they said it is not covered. So how can I get a dealership to except what I found and fix the problem to make my Pontiac G6 safe to drive without having to pay for what's not my problem?

Sudden loss of power steering while driving. There was no warning on both occasions. One time I could not turn the vehicle and ended up leaving the road. Traffic behind me, as well, as cross traffic from the light change, piled up until I was able to run back over the curb and get back on the road. The car is currently at a repair shop for the 2nd time. The power steering recall affected the same year and model of my vehicle, but not the same manufacture date. My car was manufactured in July 2008. The power steering recall for my car ended in late June 2008.

Power steering failed while driving. Turning was very difficult on snowy streets without power steering. After shutting off the car and restarting, power steering came back on briefly, then failed again. The car did display a warning that the power steering failed while it was happening, but nothing prior to the event. The car model uses electric power assist system. It has not yet been inspected by a dealer.

Power steering goes off while driving. Previous recall for this reason while checking my Vin it states that there are no unrepaired recalls however either mine was never actually fixed or it has not been repaired properly.

I have had two incidents when powering steering failed. Luckily I wasn't going fast both times. Problem resolved after restarting car. I took to mechanic and was given a recall number and told to contact the dealership. I made appointment and was told that recall had expired. Apparently this has been an issue with this car for many years but dealership isn't always acknowledging it. The recall was issued before I bought the car therefore I didn't know any info or I wouldn't have purchased it. Since this has been an issue for many years, I feel that the dealership should always repair.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at slower speeds, the power steering warning system would chime and illuminate then the power steering would fail intermittently. The contact had to use excessive force to maneuver the vehicle. The contact would then turn off and restart the vehicle for the power steering to function as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred soon after turning off the vehicle. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 94,639.

My 2009 Pontiac G6 power steering has been intermittently going out over the past 3 years between my self and my grandfather who bought the vehicle brand new before gifting it to me. It's done so while driving several times but not consistently. It can be reset by turning the car off and back on but that doesn't negate the danger it poses while driving and having sudden loss of the power steering. It's my understanding that several models both before my year model, during, and even after have been recalled for this issue but my car has not and I don't under why! My grandfather had it looked at and the mechanic couldn't find any issue at the time as the problem didn't occur while it was being looked at. I have had the car scanned for codes immediately after the incident occur and no codes are showing. I believe that this is a danger as there's no warning that it's about to go out and it's not always an option to immediately turn the vehicle off and back on to correct.

Please reference G.M. Bulletin 14116B or NHTSA recall on this vehicle for a defective Steering Torque Sensor. According to G.M., my car/VIN is not affected by this issue. The fact is it also has the defective Torque Sensor and it has disabled my power steering every winter since new on a cold day. I took it to the dealer when it was still under warranty in 2010, but the problem was not identified at that time so they didn't replace anything. I recently contacted G.M. to allow them to make this right. They told me to take it to a local dealer and have it properly diagnosed and then they could help me. I took it to a G.M. dealer, paid the $150 diagnosis fee. The dealer confirmed it was a defective Torque Sensor. Now G.M. won't call me back and left me hanging. They obviously know this Recall needs to be expanded. Please investigate.

The electrical power steering randomly went out on my car causing it to lock up my steering wheel making it very hard to turn and putting me at major risk of multiple wrecks while driving and making turns. There is a recall for this issue for my car. However, my car’s vin number doesn’t fall under the recall. How can I have my car fixed if it’s having the exact same issue as the recall?

Power steering stopped working and message came on dash

Taking off to a slow roll without giving it any gas and turning right or left, the steering wheel is extremely difficult to turn. There is absolutely no power steering. It lasts as long until you you give it gas and then the power steering will start working again. While at a steady maintained speed on flat level ground and while at a steady maintained speed going up hill rpm between 2,000-2,500 , the vehicle begins to shake/buck/shudder/stall. Give it some gas and it begins to run smoothly again after about 3 seconds.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHEN I LOST POWER-ASSISTED STEERING ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER A FULL-STOP AT A STOP SIGN. SUDDENLY, IT REQUIRED A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 14V153000 EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE CONDITION EXPERIENCED WITH MY VEHICLE: "IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN BRAKING. ALSO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND IT WORKS. IT HAS ALSO KICKED OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. BASED ON YOUR WEBSITE THE ISSUES ARE LISTED FOR THE PONTIAC G6 SAAB AND CHEVY MALIBU. BUT BASED ON MY VIN # IT'S NOT INCLUDED. IN CHECKING WITH GM THEY DID THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL BACK IN 2014 ON THIS CAR BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN AND THEY SHOW NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. THE POWER STEERING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH THE PROPER FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.

I SWEAR, THAT IF THEY DON'T RESOLVE THIS AND FIX IT IT'LL BE MY LAST GM CAR. SAD, AFTER MY DAD POURED HIS BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS COMPANY FOR SO MANY YEARS. SMH. MAYBE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? HOW CONVENIENT TO CUT OFF A RECALL OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BY MANUFACTURING DATES, WHEN THIS RECALL WASN'T EVEN ISSUED UNTIL 2014!! MY MECHANIC IS FINDING THROUGH HIS RESEARCH THAT 'AFTER MARKET' PARTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY FIIXNG THE ISSUE EITHER. WHAT THE HECK?! 62K MILES ON A 10 YEAR OLD CAR AND I NEED A NEW CAR? THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS MAKES STEERING HARD AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IN SOME CASES, DEPENDING ON THE DRIVER. ALSO DEPENDING ON IF THE VEHICLE IS IN A CURVE WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUITS, WHEN THIS IS THE CASE IT ALMOST CAUSES A WRECK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND KEEPS OCCURRING. I HAVE READ LOTS OF MANY OTHER OWNERS'S ACCOUNTS OF EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES YOU CAN STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT'LL BE OKAY BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED LOTS ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I'M GOING TO PUT THE FIRST INCIDENT AS THE DATE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,000.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR ON DRY PAVEMENT IN A PARKING LOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING STALL. AFTER TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. THIS MADE STEERING THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE. THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT WAS NOT ISSUED FOR MY VIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND GM SHOULD DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC TO DRIVE AND BE SAFE WHILE OTHERS ARE DRIVING THEM.

MY CAR, WHEN DRIVING, WILL HAVE THE ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK UP. MY STEERING WILL BE LOCKED AND I CAN'T TURN IT RIGHT OR LEFT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEEDER ROAD, AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND RESTART MY CAR TO RESET THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND ME OR I WOULD OF COLLIDED WITH THEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY IF I WERE TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY I PROBABLY WOULD CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE TWICE SO FAR. ANOTHER TIME I LUCKILY WAS IN A LOW SPEED PARKING GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I RECENTLY WENT TO 2 CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL. WHEN I WENT INTO BOTH THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED AND THEY WOULD NEED TO CHARGE ME. PLEASE HELP ME SEARCH IF THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS BIG ISSUE WITH MY CAR.

MY VEHICLES AIR BAGS CODE SHOWING ON DISPLAY. IT STAYS ON WHETHER CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING OR WHILE DRIVING. I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS WON'T WORK. I QUESTION WHETHER THEY EVER WORKED. I HAD A DOG RUN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND COULDN'T STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING DOG. DAMAGED FRONT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW I'M DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, MAJOR METRO STREETS, AND I'M CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND MAJOR HARM TO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED OVER A LONG RANGE OF YEARS AND I FEEL THERE'S ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THE CALL FOR GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND EITHER REPLACE THE PROBLEM PART(S) OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. THERE ARE MULTIPLY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONAL. AS AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I'M ASKING FOR HELP.

TWICE, THE POWER STEERING HAS GIVEN OUT IN MY CAR WHEN I FIRST START IT. SIMULTANEOUSLY, "POWER STEERING" APPEARS ON THE INFORMATION PANEL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE CAR AT ALL. BOTH TIMES I TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS OBVIOUSLY UNDRIVABLE. OUT OF DESPERATION, I TURNED IT BACK ON; THE INFORMATION PANEL RETURNED TO IT'S REGULAR DISPLAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNED TO IT'S REGULAR FUNCTIONALITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS. I DID SOME RESEARCH INTO THESE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND SOME VERY DISTURBING CONCERNS. FOR ONE, THIS SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO A GREAT MANY PEOPLE IN SIMILAR MODEL YEARS TO MY OWN CAR. FOR TWO, I'M SEEING REPORTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO INDIVIDUALS AS THEY WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AT LEAST ONE PERSON CLAIMS TO HAVE REPORTED IT AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I'M ON MY OWN HERE. I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS DIED FROM AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS? IF SO, WOULD ANYONE EVEN KNOW SINCE THE PROBLEM IS TRANSIENT? I INTEND TO HAVE THIS MATTER INVESTIGATED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TOMORROW. BUT, MY REAL QUESTION IS THIS: DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED? MY KIDS LIVES ARE ON THE LINE WITH THIS CAR EVERYDAY, AND THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IS TERRIFYING.

SO I TOOK TO GM DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN VIN INFORMED ME THAT THE COVERAGE EXPIRED DECEMBER OF 2018. SO I CALLED GM HOTLINE AT 800-762-2737 AND THEY SAID SAME THING. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OF IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IF MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING THEY MAY HAVE PANIC AND GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. THEY AGAIN SAID AS OF DECEMBER 2018 THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. I FEEL THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WHY ARE THEY NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT ?

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 WAS IN PARK. STARTED MY CAR WITH REMOTE STARTER AND OPENED DOOR WITH IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE ALARM WENT OFF ABOUT MY POWER STEERING. IT WAS FROZEN AND COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS UNDRIVEABLE. LUCKILY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD AAA TOW IT TO MY MECHANIC. FAILED TWO CODES C0460 AND C0545 FOR THE STEERING TORQUE INPUT SENSOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN FREEZE UP ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. MOST LIKELY NEED A NEW STEERING COLUMN. ESTIMATE TO FIX AROUND $700. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM ON THESE CARS THAT GM FAILS TO RECOGNIZE. IT'S QUITE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN HAPPEN A MOMENTS NOTICE.

AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THERE IS ALREADY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. RESTARTING THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES 'FIX' THE ISSUE FOR A WHILE, BUT USUALLY AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES POWER STEERING WILL BE LOST. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME CONSTANT. TCM WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED DUE TO SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT THIS WAS ONLY 3 YEARS AGO. STEERING WHEEL ALSO CONSTANTLY SHAKES WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TESTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR AND THEY HAVE COME BACK SAYING THE CAR IS FINE. ALTHOUGH WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT, SOMEHOW A LIGHT COMES ON. EXAMPLES INCLUDE('ESC SYSTEM OFF' LIGHTS, 'SERVICE TRACTION' LIGHTS, 'TC' OFF. THE MAIN ISSUE THAT I AM REPORTING JUST OCCURRED TWO DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE WALMART PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND THE LIGHT ON MY CAR APPEARED 'POWER STEERING OFF SERVICE ESC' MY STEERING WHEEL THEN STIFFENED UP AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. THERE WAS A CAR TURNING RIGHT INFRONT OF ME THAT I ALMOST HIT, BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL. I THEN TOOK MY CAR INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO A PONTIAC OR A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BEING ELECTRICAL IS NOT SAFE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS MODEL AS WELL. I USE MY CAR TO COMMUTE TO SCHOOL AND WORK EVERYDAY AND THIS PROBLEM POSES AS NOT ONLY A SAFETY RISK BUT A INCONVENIENCE TO MY EVERYDAY LIFE. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIACS AND I HAVE NOTICED IT'S A REOCCURRING ISSUE, THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO CUSTOMERS WITH ALL OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO NOT ONLY HAVE THIS CAR FIXED BUT ALSO FOR A RENTAL CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER OF PONTIAC AND I WOULD LIKE ACTION TO BE TAKEN.

AS A CUSTOMER WE HAVE FIXED IT TWICE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT THE CAR HAD STEERING. DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT AS OWNERS LIKE YOU DO WITH YOUR RECALLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL BE MY EXPENSE @ 900$. THAT STEERING COVERAGE FOR THE RAN OUT AT 150,000 MILES. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER 900 TO FIX. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SOMETHING THAT'S SAFETY. IT BROKE AGAIN WHILE TRANSPORTING MY GRANDCHILDREN. AGAIN, THIS COVERAGE TO FIX IT WAS NOT BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION UNTIL COVERAGE RAN OUT AT 150,000 MILES. YOU FIXED THE OTHER 4 MANUFACTURERS RECALLS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MADE THE CONSUMER AWARE, EXCEPT WITH THIS STEERING SAFETY (COVERAGE) . IT PUT MY FAMILY AT HUGE SAFETY RISK. COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU'RE NOT FIXING IT. DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DIDN'T SEND ANY NOTICE OF THE SAFETY RECALL OR COVERAGE (YOUR WORDS) BEFORE NOW OR EVER, WE HAD TO GET IT FROM THE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP . SO I PICK UP A CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD $900 AND YOUR COMPANY WILL NOT COVER IT!

I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WELL, THE DOOR SAYS IT'S A 2009, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES BACK AS A 2010. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SAYS GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 2010'S AS WELL, YET THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS A RECALL ON MY GM VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE JUST ISN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE END OF 2009, SO IT'S CONSIDERED A 2010. THAT IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010. THIS ISN'T SOME SILLY LITTLE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT. THIS IS MY STEERING. I COULD CRASH AND DIE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EXPAND THE RECALL. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS SEEN AND SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS. IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. GM MESSED UP AND SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.

THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE THE 2009 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FALLS TO THE CONSUMER AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1,800 TO $2,000 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIRRORS THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC'S AS EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS MATTER AND HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT A LOCAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE CONTACTING ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. WHILE I APPRECIATE GM'S WILLINGNESS TO "CONSIDER" THE MATTER, I URGE THE NHTSA TO RE-VISIT THE MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTON CHEVROLET (13600 W CENTER ST, BURTON, OH 44021) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE TORQUE SENSOR WITHOUT CHARGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,900.

ELECTRONIC STEERING SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING MAKING STEERING IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IT DOES NOT SHOW A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT'S HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW, THE LAST TIME IT FORCED ME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING HIGH TRAFFIC. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER, THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT. HE SAID IT HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT. IT WILL BE UP TO ME TO TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIR WHICH WILL COST OVER $1500

SINCE 2014, I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING LOSS ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE, WHICH INCLUDES THE MILEAGE AS WELL AS THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY AND WARNING LIGHTS. THE DISPLAY WILL SAY SERVICE WAS SERVICE TRACTION POWER STEERING. HISTORICALLY, THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED, MANY TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. THE ERROR USUALLY CLEARS AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING. TODAY, IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO GM DEALERSHIPS IN THE PAST, BUT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT USE MY VIDEO TO HELP THEM DIAGNOSE. I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER ISN'T STORING A CODE SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. AFTER CONTACTING GM AGAIN TODAY, I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX, BUT ONLY IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN DIAGNOSE. I'M FRUSTRATED. I HAVE MORE THAN DONE MY PART. I HAVE A BABY THAT I PUT AT RISK EVERYTIME I PUT HER IN THE CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY CAN'T THEY USE MY VIDEOS, YES MULTIPLE VIDEOS FROM DIFFERENT DAYS, WHEN THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM? I DO NOT HAVE VIDEO FROM TODAY BECAUSE I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING?

I NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUED IN 2014, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMP IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, AND AM NOW ON APRIL 27 2017 HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK IN DUE TO POWER STEERING ISSUES. I AM UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THE 09 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING RECALL DID NOT EXTEND TO MY VIN NUMBER, BUT CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING THAT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND NORMAL WEAR FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

'STEARING ANGLE SENSOR RECALL' THERE IS A RECALL ON 2 DOOR MODELS AND NOT THE FOUR DOOR MODELS. THESE VEHICALS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PART ON THEM THAT GOES BAD.

VEHICLE STEERING STUTTERS,CLANKS,CLUNKS AND HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR/MODULE ASSEMBLY AND SAID IT WAS COVERED BY GM,AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING CAR IT STILL DID THE SAME THING,NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE US TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WE TOOK IT IN FOR TO BEGIN WITH. THE (ISS) INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WITH FACTORY GM PART , WHICH WAS ALSO BAD WHEN 1ST TOOK IN BUT THEY DIDN'T POINT OUT. THIS HAS SO FAR BEEN A GREAT CAR AND NOW HAS OVER 144,000 MILES AND I REALIZE THERE ARE GONNA BE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MUCH MILEAGE , BUT THE STEERING ISSUE IS REALLY GETTING SCARY AND STILL NOT FIXED AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING PARTS THAT AREN'T FIXING IT. GM SHOULD'VE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR AS THEY DID OTHERS AND FIXED IT WITH NO COST...

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE POWER STEERING ALERT HAD BEEN APPEARING SPARATICALLY ON INFO CONSOLE. I NEVER LOST POWER STEERING. AT MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT ITHERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT. FOUR AND A HALF HOURS LATER, THEY HAVE TAKEN MY STEERING COLUMN APART AND SAY THEY CANNOT PUT IT TOGETHER AGAIN UNTIL THEY HAVE A NEW PART FOR IT. THAT WAS FIVE DAYS AGO NOW AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY'VE REPLACED MY TORQUE SENSOR FIVE TIMES, BUT HAVN'T BEEN ABLE TO PROGRAM IT. SO NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME MY STEERING COLUMN IS BROKEN AND THAT I NEED TO SPEND $625 FOR A NEW ONE. MY STEERING COLUMN WAS NOT BROKEN WHEN I DROVE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHAT I FIGURED WOULD BE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. IF THE TORQUE SENSOR (RECALLED) REQUIRES A NEW STEERING COLUMN IN ORDER TO BE PROGRAMMED, THEN THAT SHOULDN'T THAT REPLACEMENT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL FULFILLMENT?

I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WHERE THE POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ALL ATOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. I HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH PICTURES, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO HELP. THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OTHER YEARS OF THE PONTIAC G6. GM WEBSITE SAYS THEY FIX THE PROBLEM ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PICTURE AND VIDEO PROOF MEAN NOTHING IF THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. CODES FLASH ACROSS DISPLAY THAT SAY "CHECK POWER STEERING " "SERVICE TRACTION" "SERVICE ESC". ONLY WAY FOR ME TO CLEAR IS TO SHUT OFF CAR AND TURN BACK ON. ALL PEER STEERING IS LOST WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. ALTHOUGH I'VE LISTED. ONLY ONE DATE, WHICH WAS THE MOST RECENT, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 1/2014, TWICE IN 7/2014, 12/2016 AND IN 3/2017.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AROUND 2012 AND SINCE HAS HAD POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AT LEAST ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WOULD BE SHUT OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IN THE LAST TWO DAYS THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF EVERY FEW MILES WHILE IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WOULD TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND FEW MILES LATER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON THE CAR HAS FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES AND ILLUMINATED A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY STATING "POWER STEERING". WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STRENGTH TO MANEUVER THE CAR. GM HAS RECALLED MANY OF THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES.

I STARTED THE CAR AS USUAL EVERY MORNING. I PUT THE SHIFT IN REVERSE AND BAGGED UP. I NOTICED IT MOVED A BIT TO FREELY BUT I PROCEEDED TO BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE TO GO FORWARD AND TAKE MY FEET OFF BREAKS IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I HAD TO HIT THE BREAKS BECAUSE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK AND HAD MY KIDS IN MY CAR. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD NOT GO IT WOULD STILL ROLL. I THEN RECALLED THIS HAPPENING TO MY HUSBAND AND HAVING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TO GET FIXED WITH US PAYING ALMOST $400 AND APPARENTLY IT NOT BEING DONE CORRECTLY. MORE TO THE POINT. IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT GEAR THE CAR WAS IN IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE AND I HAD TO STICK SOMETHING BEHIND IT TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING EVEN AFTER I GOT IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF IT WAS NO-LONGER ABLE TO CRANK AND OR SHIFT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

RECALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ON MARCH 2014 THE NHTSA REQUIRED GM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT ONLY COVERED THE G6 MODELS UP TO THE YEAR 2009 BUT NOT ALL 2009. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE NOT ALL OF THE 2009 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FALLS TO THE CONSUMER AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1,800 TO $2,000 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIRRORS THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC'S AS EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I URGE THE NHTSA TO RE-VISIT THE MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ACCORDINGLY AND AMEND THE POWER STEERING RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL 2009 MODELS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE POWER STEERING JUST SUDDENLY GOES OUT AND I GET A MESSAGE ON RADIO THAT SAYS POWER STEERING. I STOP THE CAR AND KILL THE ENGINE AND IT WORKS AGAIN. SOMETIMES LONGER THAN OTHERS. IT'S A 2009 JUST HIT 161K MILES SO NOT SURE IF IT IS EVEN COVER ED NY ANYTHING

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN FIRST STARTED, BUT WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS AND NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. IT QUIT ALTOGETHER 2 WEEKS AGO. *TR

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I HAD THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR REPLACED BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.

I'M FEARING FOR THERE LIVES KNOWING THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE POWER STEERING COULD GO OUT AND CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHILE KNOWING THAT ALMOST ALL OTHER G6'S ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EXCEPT OURS IS VERY UPSETTING. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THIS TO A GM DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING FOR FREE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF ME, MY FAMILY, OTHER G6 OWNERS NOT ON THE RECALL, AND OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS NO MORE POWER STEERING ASSIST. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T ON CURVE OR HAD TO TURN ANYTIME SOON. BEING A PETITE WOMAN, I BARELY HAD ENOUGH STRENGTH TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR MY HUSBAND TO SHOW UP AND DRIVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME.

POWER STEERING WARNING BEGAN COMING ON A FEW MONTHS AGO ON THE DISPLAY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY AND THE WHEEL TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT TOOK MORE THAN ONE ATTEMPT. AT ONE POINT IT TOOK HALF AN HOUR OF RESTARTING THE CAR TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. I NOTICED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN IDLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE. ONE DAY, THE PROBLEM JUST WENT AWAY. WELL, THE OTHER DAY, THIS STARTED AGAIN, ONLY IT'S BEEN MUCH WORSE.. THE CAR HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES. IN IDLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO HARD THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE CAR.WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR NOW JERKS TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING! I HAVE BEEN SO AFRAID THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE AN 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT I HATE PUTTING INTO THE CAR BECAUSE IF IT DOES GO OUT AND I LOSE CONTROL, I DON'T WANT HER TO LOSE HER LIFE.

I CALLED PONTIAC IN REGARDS TO THE STEERING RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN DID NOT INDICATE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE OTHER CARS SAME YEAR AS MINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. IT WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE TO CORRECT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T EVERY MANUFACTURED 2009 PONTIAC G6 WITH EPS.

JUST PURCHASED A G6 AND SEVERAL RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR 2009.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE IT IS STARTLING AND CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET VERY TIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING. IT CONTINUES TO BE LIKE THIS UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. BUT OCCURS AGAIN AT DIFFERENT TIMES WITHOUT WARNING.

I HAVE ALSO ALWAYS NOTICED THAT MY CAR SHIFTS WEIRD SOMETIMES WHEN I'M PASSING IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I CAN GET UP TO SPEED. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR AND 2010 IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD WITH VERY FEW MILES. RIGHT NOW I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 81,000 MILES ON IT. WITH ALL OF MY INCIDENTS WITH THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE LIGHTS I HAVE BEEN IN TOWN DRIVING ALL WERE IN MOTION.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE I TURN OFF THE CAR THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST RESETS AND THE POWER STEERING IS FINE FOR AWHILE WHILE DRIVING. THEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN.... AND IT OCCURS A MAJORITY OF THE TIME WHILE TURNING. GM SAYS THE RECALL IS VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC. I HAVE THE RIGHT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. BUT, MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT BRING UP A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING. IT IS THE SAME AND A MOST DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT OTHER 2009 PONTIAC G6'S HAVE. WHAT IF MY SON, WHO IS LEARNING TO DRIVE WITH HIS PERMIT, WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL AT THE TIME? I THINK GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO ADDING A FEW MORE VIN NUMBERS TO THEIR RECALL LIST. I BELIEVE THAT READING OTHERS POSTS PRIOR TO MINE SHOWS THIS ALSO... ESPECIALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM JAMES CORLEW AND WAS COMING HOME PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I WENT OUTSIDE TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR WASH GOING DOWN A HILL AND WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL MY CAR JUMPED ALL THE LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER WENT OFF THE RADIO FLICKERED AND AND OUT AND MY CAR DIED MID DRIVING DOWN A HILL I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION DOWN MY HILL AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT AND TO THE OFF POSITION. AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT CAME ON FINE I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME AND HE JUST TOLD ME THAT IT HAD AN ELECTRICAL JUMPSTART WHERE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG TIME. I WEEK PASSES AND I'M GOING TO WORK PARK IT. I GET OFF AND IT'S 9 O'CLOCK AND I'M TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY I PULLED OUT AND MY CAR JUMPED AGAIN BUT IT DIDN'T SHUT OFF THE POWER STARING WARNING CAME ON ON MY RADIO AND THE STEERING WENT OUT . I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF SAT THERE FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. IT DID IT TWO MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. I WAS TIRED OF IT HAPPENING SO I TOOK IT BACK TO MY CAR LOT AND ASK THEM IF IT HAD ANY RECALLS ON IT THEY TOLD ME NO IT ONLY HAD ONE ON THE BACK TAILLIGHT AND THE GEARSHIFT. SO THEY ACTED LIKE THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS NOW IT'S STEERING EASY TO THE RIGHT BUT STEERING HARD TO THE LEFT. AND THEY SAY THERE'S NO RECALL ON IT BUT I LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT 2009 G6 HAS RECALLS ON IT ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BUT I HAVEN'T GOT NO PAPER AND THE MAIL FROM GM I'M NOT PAYING FOR THEIR MISTAKES. IF I GET INTO A WRECK OVER IT SOMEBODY WILL GET SUED. BECAUSE I LET JAMES CORLEW NO THREE TIMES AND THEY ALL TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING. THERE WAS ONE PREVIOUS OWNER SO IF IT HAD A RECALL ON IT COULD THE PAPER HAVE WENT TO THEM ON ACCIDENT?

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO BE "FIXED" AND NOW MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE: LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL, MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEAR OUT OF PARK POSITION. THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN OCCURRING IN 2013. GM SHOULD HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THE "FIX" WAS TEMPORARY, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY DUE TO MY BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL NOTICE AND TAKING MY CAR TO BE SERVICED, I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN. IT TURNS OUT THE MECHANICS AT THE GM DEALER JUST CLEANED THE BCM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO IT, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING BEFORE THE RECALL EVEN CAME UP...IT IS INSULTING THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER THIS A "FIX" AND ENDANGER THEIR DRIVERS, WHEN THEY HAD TO KNOW THAT THIS WOULD ONLY HELP TEMPORARILY. IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE BCM NEEDS REPLACED TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS, AS I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER HAVING REPEAT ISSUES AFTER HAVING THE CAR "FIXED" DURING THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR), AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). WHEN I SMACK THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY COME BACK ON. I SEE THAT OTHER DRIVERS ARE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR POWER STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS, AS WELL AS WITH THE BCM. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NOT PROVIDED A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUES, AND I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR.

CURRENTLY, THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS OUT AGAIN AND A NEW HEADLAMP AND ANOTHER CONNECTOR WAS INSTALLED AND STILL WILL NOT STAY ON. OTHER OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHAT SO EVER. THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 2009 MODELS THAT WERE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE AIR BAG ALERT STAYS ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT ALERT AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAT BELT SENSOR MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY REAR DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THAT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I FEEL THE CAR MANUFACTURER KNEW THESE PROBLEMS EXISTED AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING THESE DEATH TRAPS. WITH ALL THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS, I CAN'T GRASP WHY GM DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THIS AND GET THEM OFF THE RODE. I AND OTHER MOTORISTS ARE NOT SAFE WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING THIS CAR.

ALTHOUGH I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION THE FORCE REQUIRED TO TURN THE WHEEL WHILE THE POWER ASSIST IS FAILING IS MASSIVE. I AM 6 FT TALL AND 200 POUNDS, AND I HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME MAKING A TURN OR SHARP CURVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $700 OR MORE TO HAVE IT FIXED. 14 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL TWITCH AT IDLE. HOWEVER THE CAR STOPPED HAVING THE POWER STEERING FAILING ALL THE TIME UNTIL 3/10/2015.

ALL IN ALL THE ORIGINAL POWER STEERING MODULE AND THE ONE I PAID TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL ONE HAVE BOTH FAILED MISERABLY AND ARE A REAL DANGER ON THE ROADS.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. THE STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTED SHAKING AND I WASN'T IN DRIVING MOTION. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING POWER STEERING FAILURE WITH PONITAC G6 2009. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY WON'T THEY DO A RECALL. GM PRODUCED UNSAFE CARS!! BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED ON MY OWN. I SHOULD EXPECT A REFUND WHENEVER GM DECIDES TO DO A RECALL. *TR

FAULTY STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. RECALL ON YEAR,MAKE,MODEL BUT DOESNT INCLUDE MY VIN NHTSA RECALL # 14V-153, GM BULLETIN 14116. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR IT MADE AN ALARM NOISE, THEN THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. SHE WAS ABLE TO BRING MY CAR TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. AFTER STARING AND STOPPING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, AROUND 10 MINUTES LATER, THE STEERING RETURNED. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY OPENED A CASE # [XXX]. THEY SAID TO BRING TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. AFTER PAYING $93 THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR, WHICH WAS A RECALLED ITEM ON A 2009 G6, BUT NOT MY PARTICULAR CAR. THE DEALER WANTED OVER $750 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DISPUTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED GM WHO AGREED TO LOWER THE COST TO $250 WHICH I DISPUTED. NOW THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. AFTER TRYING TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER WITH GM DIRECTLY, THE SENIOR ADVISER TOLD ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED. I WAS TOLD I AGREED TO THE COST ASSISTANCE WHICH I DIDN'T. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM A HIGHER LEVEL GM ADVISER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER READING THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER 2009 G6 NON RECALLED STEERING PROBLEMS WHICH ARE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED ONES I FEEL THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT.

I TURNED INTO THE PARKING LOT WHERE I WORKED. ALARM SOUNDED, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. RADIO DISPLAYED: POWER STEERING LIGHT. AFTER WORK SHIFT WAS DONE, POWER STEERING FUNCTIONED. CAREFULLY DROVE HOME. ON ROUTE TURNED RIGHT ONTO TO STREET, POWER STEERING WENT OUT & POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SWERVED INTO TURNING LANE: STEERING WAS TO DIFFICULT. FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS IN THE LANE. CAREFULLY DROVE HOME. POWER STEERING CAME BACK IN. NEXT DAY, CALLED DEALER SHIP & GM. GM TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE THREE COMPANIES WHO MADE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST PART FOR MY MODEL OF G6 AND THAT ONLY ONE HAS BEEN RECALLED. EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING, MY VIN HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE MY PART CAME FROM ONE OF THE OTHER TWO MANUFACTURERS. GM WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. I'M DRIVING MY CAR, ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, FOR VERY SHORT DISTANCE TO WORK, BEING VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TURN WHEEL TOO TIGHTLY, BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST HAS FAILED DURING TURNS. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY, THE HIGH COST OF THE REPAIR AND THAT OTHER G6S & CARS THAT ARE NOT UNDER THE RECALL, ALSO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS, WHEN THE ASSIST TURNS OFF. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME WHILE AT A HIGHER SPEED, I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE RUN INTO ANOTHER CAR OR OFF THE ROAD. I KNOW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY 2009 G6 OWNER, NOT UNDER THE RECALL, HAVING THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE. I LIVE ALONE. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. WE ARE IN A WINTER STORM WATCH. GM HAS OPENED A CASE # [XXX] AND REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM SUPPOSED TO CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THEY WILL CHARGE $55 JUST TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR.

THE CAR HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE ITS PURCHASE. TO SUMMARIZE: I HAD AN IGNITION FUSE REPAIRED IN 2009 WHEN THE CAR TURNED OFF SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. REPLACED A FAULTY HEADLIGHT SOCKET THAT WAS MELTED TO THE INSIDE HOUSING, HAVE REPLACED AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF LIGHT BULBS IN THE CAR, AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAIL. MOST RECENTLY, REMOTE IGNITION WAS NOT WORKING, BUT WAS LATER FIXED AFTER A MAJOR REPAIR LAST MONTH TO THE POWER STEERING. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID MY POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $750 DOLLARS. WAS AWARE OF A RECALL FOR 2009 G-6'S FOR POWER STEERING, BUT DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING RECALL. WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. CONTACTED GM, WHO TOLD US TO WAIT FOR A NEW ROUND OF RECALL LETTERS TO BE DISTRIBUTED. IN THE MEANTIME, IT TAKES 6 DAYS FOR THE REPAIRS, AND ONLY AFTER SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONING DID THE DEALER ADMIT THAT PARTS WERE HARD TO FIND DUE TO THE RECALL. WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET US HAVE THE FAULTY PART TO PURSUE ACTION FROM GM. DEALER TOLD US THEY HAD THROWN PARTS AWAY, DESPITE THIS BEING AGAINST GM PROTOCOL. THEY LOCATED OUR PART AFTER WE PUSHED THEM TO INVESTIGATE (CAR HAD BEEN REPAIRED THAT VERY MORNING, PARTS HAD NOT BEEN THROWN AWAY), AND ASSESSED A $100 CORE CHARGE. HAVE BEEN BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GM AND DEALER SINCE, WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY EITHER PARTY. MOST RECENTLY, GM SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT, AND DEALER SAID THE PARTS THEY REPAIRED WERE NOT RECALLED SO THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE EITHER. AS THESE PARTS ARE UNLIKELY TO BREAK WITHOUT CAUSE, AND DON'T NEED FREQUENT SERVICING, IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY ARE FAULTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO REEXAMINE THEIR RECALL. *TR

THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AND TRIED TO GET ME TO FORK OUT OVER A GRAND FOR REPAIRS ON THE SPOT. AFTER HAVING MY USUAL MECHANIC LOOK AT THE ISSUE THE FOLLOWING DAY, HIS OPINION WAS THAT IT WAS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL. MY MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT THE PARTS LISTED IN THE RECALL TO BE REPLACED, SUCH AS THE TORQUE CONVERTOR, ARE APART OF THE STEERING COLUMN. GM HAS OFFERED ME NO HELP IN RECTIFYING THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. THE CSR I SPOKE WITH WAS VERY RUDE AND IN A SHORT SUM OF WORDS BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE EVEN IF I WERE TO HAVE MULTIPLE GM DEALERS FIND THAT MY CAR IN FACT IS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. SHE ALSO OFFERED NO CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY AS A DRIVER AND WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THAT AN OVERSIGHT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE ON AT LEAST ONE VEHICLE REGARDING THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH GM HAS REPORTEDLY OVERSIGHTED IMPROPER MANUFACTURE OF MILLIONS OF VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS MY CAR NEEDS ON A PART THAT DOES NOT NEED FREQUENT SERVICING OR DOES NOT SUDDENLY BREAK WITHOUT CAUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY WITH FORCE BEING APPLIED TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE INPUT SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,957.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN FROM ONE STREET ONTO ANOTHER, AT WHICH TIME I LOST ALL POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE AND A CHIME WENT OFF WITH AN INDICATOR ON DASH. I PROCEEDED TO HIT THE CURB DAMAGE MY TIRE AND RIM. I TURN IGNITION OFF AND RESTART AND IT WILL WORK FOR A DAY OR TWO AND RANDOMLY TURN OFF ASSIST POWER STEERING. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL G5 FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE, THAT DOES NOT COVER G6. I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO POSSIBLY EXTEND THE RECALL TO 2009 G6. *TR

CLEAR DAY, DRY, STRAIGHT, FLAT ROAD, NO OBSTRUCTIONS. SAW 2 VEHICLES STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, WELL AHEAD OF ME. REMOVED FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL FOR NORMAL BRAKING AND STOP. WHEN APPLIED BRAKES, THEY DID NOT SLOW MY CAR DOWN. TRIED MORE PRESSURE ON BRAKES, BUT THEY WERE SO "STIFF", CAR STILL DID NOT RESPOND. WHEN IMPACT OBVIOUS, TRIED TO STEER TOWARD CLEAR LANE ON LEFT TO AVOID STRAIGHT-ON IMPACT. THOUGHT MIGHT CAUSE LESS INJURY TO ALL AND LESS DAMAGE. STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. STRUCK THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT-ON FROM REAR AT ABOUT 35 MPH. AIR BAG DEPLOYED. WEARING SEAT BELT. TAKEN FROM CAR BY EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS, THEN BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. SEVERAL X-RAYS TAKEN, PLUS EITHER CAT SCAN OF HEAD. TOLD NO BONES BROKEN, GIVEN SHOT OF MORPHINE AND PRESCRIPTION FOR NORCO. DRIVEN HOME AND WENT TO SLEEP. REMEMBER NOTHING OF NEXT DAY OR FACT I WAS GIVEN DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS. FOUND YESTERDAY AND HAVE MADE APPOINTMENT TO FOLLOW UP WITH DOCTOR FOR HEADACHES, MIGRAINES, LIMITED USE OF LEFT HAND, LOSS OF WORDS, THOUGHT AND SHORT TERM MEMORY. OTHER PAIN, I ASSUME IS FROM JOLT OF IMPACT OR "WHIPLASH." *TT

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO DRIFT AND I WENT TO CORRECT AND THE CAR FLIPPED 4 TIMES. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING LOCKED UP. THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER RIGHT BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I DID NOT GET A TICKET FOR ANYTHING. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE TWO PASSENGERS WERE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND LATER RELEASED WITH MINOR INJURES. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING HEADACHES AND BACK PAIN AND KNEE PAIN. *TR

STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO STEER WHILE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO TURN AND WAS UNABLE TO MAKE COMPLETE TURN DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN STEERING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BEHIND A VEHICLE WHO STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WHEN I BRAKED, A POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ACROSS THE RADIO AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. IT CAN LOCK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING MY CAR. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK. HEATER ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT WORK. TIRE SERVICE MONITOR COMES ON RANDOMLY. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT DOES NOT WORK MORE OFTEN THAN IT DOES. LOUD, RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKING TURNS. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY (GOT STOPPED BY A POLICEMAN AND WARNED OF A CITATION THE NEXT TIME I WOULD GET STOPPED). I HAD ONE BULB CHANGED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT, BUT THE BULB WAS NOT BURNT. THEN, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A MONTH OR SO LATER THE OTHER ONE WENT OUT. I HAD BOTH WIRING HARNESSES CHANGED AND NEW BULBS PUT IN. RECENTLY, I WAS TOLD I HAD A BURNT HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM AGAIN). I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON THE INTERSTATE TO BE TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE FLASHING (WHILE DRIVING) AND THEN THEY WERE WORKING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE (BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AND OFF WHILE BRAKING). I HAVE SEEN OTHER PONTIAC G6'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IN MY OPINION AS I COULD EASILY BE REAR-ENDED DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. I HAVE READ SIMILAR ISSUES BY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS. WILL RECALLS BE ISSUED FOR ANY OF THESE ISSUES? I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO POUR INTO THIS CAR SO MOST OF IT STAYS BROKEN! SAD CONSIDERING I PAID OVER $26K FOR THIS CAR AND STILL OWE OVER $10,000, YET IT'S WORTH PROBABLY $7,000. I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT WITH THESE ISSUES!!! I WOULD LOVE TO TRAVEL, BUT I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANY LONGER. *TR

INITIALLY POWER STEERING WORKED ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY. WHEN POWER STEERING WAS WORKING, STEERING WHEEL SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AND CAUSED THE WHEEL TO STEER IN UNINTENDED DIRECTIONS. WHEN POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING, LIGHT COMES ON AND STEERING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. POWER STEERING WOULD CEASE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. A WEEK LATER, POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. GM STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THE STEERING COLUMN HAS A RECALL IN OLDER MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR: $1,200.00. *TR

POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AND WARNING ON IT COMES UP ON DISPLAY. THERE IS MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED. MY WIFE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT AHEAD OF TIME. GM DOES HAVE A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES. MY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A ACCIDENT IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME. SHE DRIVES THIS CAR MOST OF THE TIME. I CAN UNDERSTAND A FAILURE ON A PART WITH HIGH MILEAGE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS PART. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS WITH HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING WITH MILEAGE MUCH HIGHER MILES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE REPAIR IS VERY PRICEY TO FIX. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE DECEIVING THE PUBLIC FOR NOT FIXING IT AND REPORTING IT TO BUYERS. *TR

THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING THE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID POWER STEERING ESC. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON 2009 GS6. I TOLD THEM THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT CORRECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH EXTREME FORCE. THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION FOR A BRIEF MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE STEERING FAILURE HOWEVER, THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT STEERING SYSTEM WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

Mileage: 45,000

INTERMITTENT VERY HARD UP SHIFTS (INCLUDING CHANGES FROM PARK-DRIVE ETC), CRUISE FLYS OFF AND STOPS WORKING WHILE GOING DOWN ROAD, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND FLICKERS RANDOMLY, CAR FLASHES "POWER STEERING" ON RADIO PANEL AND "ERROR" ON ODOMETER READ, HARD TURNING, CAR LOSES POWER AS IT REVS TO REALIZE IT NEEDS TO SHIFT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) INITIALLY, RESTARTING CAR WOULD HELP FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT. GM DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THOUGHT IT WAS LOOSE WIRING. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO TRACE THE COMMUNICATION ERRORS THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY GAVE IT BACK WITH NO FIX OR ANSWERS. MAJOR ISSUE CONSIDERING THE CAR HAS ONLY 36500 MILES TO DATE WITH AN ISSUE CLEARLY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH AS WELL. THE INCONSISTENT ISSUE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A RECENT CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

Mileage: 35,000

G6 BEGAN TO SHIFT GEARS ON ITS OWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY LEADING TO NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO SUDDEN STOPS OR SLOW DOWNS. CARS TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN PARK AND WON'T REVERSE. CAR BEGINS TO REVERSE ON ITS OWN IN PARK BUT ENDS UP CATCHING ITSELF BACK IN PARK. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SET ON PARK AND WON'T CHANGE TO GO IN REVERSE. ALSO THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE BURST AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, CAUSED SEVERE MELTING OF VARIOUS WIRES AROUND IT. NEARLY LIT THE CAR ON FIRE AFTER CAUSING THE STARTER TO CATCH FIRE FROM THE POWER STEERING FLUID GETTING INSIDE OF IT. *TR

Mileage: 78,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET ( WHERE SPEEDS ARE SLOW) THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD AND POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK. IT WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I ALMOST TURNED THE VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE ON IT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, HE SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND THE COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE BUT AGAIN I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. IT WAS A COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

Mileage: 55,000

STARTED CAR AND POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND A CHIME SOUND AND POWER STEERING WAS GONE. WHEN I RESEARCHED FOUND THAT MANY G6 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH SAME PROBLEM. REPAIR WILL BE FOR PART IN ELECTRICAL MODEL FOR POWER STEERING AND PART IN STEERING COLUMN. WHEN RESEARCHED FOUND MANY ITEMS REGARDING RECALL ON G6 MODELS UP TO 2008 WITH EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS. REPAIR COST WILL RUN OVER $12000. MY CAR IS A 2009 WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE. *TR

Mileage: 55,000

WHEN TURNING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND TIGHTER CORNERING A SQUEAKING NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO WHEN PUSHING AND PULLING ON THE STEERING WHEEL THE SQUEAKING NOISE IS HEARD. HAD SIMILAR ISSUE ON 2003 PONTIAC. SEEMS THEY WOULD HAVE CORRECTED IT IN 6 YEARS.TOLD BY DEALERSHIP ON 2003 PONTIAC THAT IT WAS GREASE PACK ISSUE AND NEEDED REPLACING. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. TOOK TO A GARAGE, CODE C0545 WAS FOUND, GARAGE RE-CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM. THEN ON 2/4/2012 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN AROUND. THE WHEEL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND VIBRATES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL ON STRAIGHT ROAD HAS PLAY IN IT ALSO ONCE THE POWER STEERING IS GONE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION, AND MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR PERIODICALLY. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FAIL SPORADICALLY AND WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THREADING IN THE STEERING COLUMN TWICE TO NO AVAIL AND THE DEALER NEVER GAVE THE CONTACT A REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ALSO ATTEMPTED TO DETECT THE ENGINE NOISE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.
