2010 PONTIAC G6 Electronic Stability Control (esc) Problems

THE POWER STEERING WARNING AND SERVICE ESC LIGHTS COME ON AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, IT IS A VERY CONCERNING ISSUE. IT STARTED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST LOCKED, ESP WHEN USING THE AUTOSTART. WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN USE THE KEY TO TURN BACK ON. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO DRIVE IT FOR A SHORT TIME, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD STAY LOCKED. THE MOST SCARY PART IS IT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. MY 18 YEAR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY.

Mileage: 58,900

THE TRACTION LIGHT IS COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND REVERTED TO MANUAL STEERING. SENSOR CODES ARE INTERMITTENTLY COMING UP WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS LIT. PROBLEM WITH THE EVAC SYSTEM. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER ENGAGING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVES MORE THAN IT SHOULD. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO STATIONARY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MY TEENAGE SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHICH WAS DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 179,670

AFTER STARTING THE CAR , THE ESC LIGHTS THE POWER STEERING AND THE GAUGES STOP WORKING INCLUDING THE GAS GAUGE AND ODOMETER. THE CAR BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT HAPPENS WHEN SITTING, DRIVING. ON THE HIGHWAY. ON ANY RANDOM TIME IT DECIDES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE ESC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED AND RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE ACTION WAS REPEATED AND AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER CONTACTED CLASSIC CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 6877 CENTER ST, MENTOR, OH 44060, (440)953-1070 AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE APPOINTMENT WAS NOT KEPT DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR FEE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

Mileage: 32,000

WHEN I START THE CAR AND RUNNING (PARK) , THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC SHOWS ON THE DASH AND LOCKS UP THE STEERING SO I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT HAS LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN BEFORE BEFORE TO. WHENEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO TURN OFF THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC. BUT RECENTLY THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE PARKED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WOULD NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND ON. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2010 MODEL AND ARE GETTING INJURED. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM BEING RECALLED, WHILE ALL OTHER MODELS FROM 2005-2009 HAVE BEEN RECALLED, AND 2010 SEEMS TO BE THE WORSE.

Mileage: 178,549

WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC WILL BE ON ON THE DASH AND LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I USED TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE OFF. BUT RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING A LOT MORE OFTEN. I WAS PARKED WITH CAR RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING ESC WOULD STAY ON EVEN AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF. THEN THE NO TRACTION LIGHT APPEARED. ONCE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WAS OFF I WOULD DRIVE MY CAR AND TURN IT OFF BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE ON AGAIN SO I CAN'T STEER MY CAR. THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC HAS EVEN TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND HAD FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF 2010 MODELS, AND SOME HAVE EVEN GOT INTO ACCIDENTS AND INJURED. THE 2010 MODELS DO NOT HAVE RECALLS BUT THE 2005-2009 MODELS DO FOR THE SAME REASONS. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER AND NOTIFY ALL WHO HAVE 2010 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED DRIVING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREINER BUICK GMC (14555 CIVIC DRIVE, VICTORVILLE CA, 92394, (760) 245-3451) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

Mileage: 137,000

WHILE IDELING MY CAR SOMETIMES DIES OUT BUT THEN CRANKS BACK UP. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ALL OF MY TRACTION LIGHTS ARE ON AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME.

Mileage: 147,000

RECENTLY WHEN I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE UP IT WAS SHOWING "SERVICE ESC" ON THE DASH. AND IT WOULD RUN ROUGH AND EXECUTE LOW POWER WHEN MOBILE. THIS WOULD OCCUR EVERY OTHER DAY FOR A MONTH, AND AS OF TODAY IS UNDRIVABLE. AFTER HAVING IT ELECTRONICALLY DIAGNOSED, IT NEEDS A NEW COMPUTER AND IS COMPLETELY UNDRIVABLE UNTIL A NEW ONE IS INSTALLED AND PROGRAMMED. WHY IS MY VIN # NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL?

Mileage: 130,000

RECALL FIXED THIS IS 3RD TIME . I AM DISABLED AND THIS IS TERRIBLE. AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT OR DONT WORK RIGHT AFTER REPLACEMENT

Mileage: 200,000

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. EVERY TIME I WOULD START THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING WORKED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND THEN I WOULD HEAR A FAINT SOUND LIKE A FUSE OR SENSOR GOING OUT, POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ESC WOULD BEGIN FLASHING REPEATEDLY ON THE DASH AND MY POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING. SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT ONLY CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO RETURN FOR A FEW SECONDS. AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS ROUGHLY 105,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING COMPUTERIZED/ELECTRICAL WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN AND WOULD COST $900 TO FIX. I WAS UNABLE TO AFFORD TO GET THE CAR FIXED SO I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS, RANDOMLY THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING 100% OF THE TIME AGAIN. THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING AT ALL, UP UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. THE SAME EXACT THING IS HAPPENING AS BEFORE EXCEPT FOR IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, HAVING TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE CAR AND IT IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WHILE PARKING. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 117,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT.

Mileage: 105,000

MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 WILL RANDOMLY HAVE THE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS COMES AND GOES AND CAN GO FOR MONTHS WITHOUT IT HAPPENING AND THEN RANDOMLY START UP AGAIN. NOW MY STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHILE STOPPED AND ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME I START MY CAR I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I START MY CAR AND I CAN TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY GM DEALERSHIP WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND 2,000 TO FIX, AND NOW I NEED TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WHICH IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER LARGE BILL.

Mileage: 130,000

TAKATA RECALL I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WIRING I'VE A SHORTNESS IN IT MY STEERING WHEEL COLUMN IS MESSING UP. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON THE E-WAY. I WAS GOING INTO A SHARP TURN AND NEAR HAD A ACCIDENT ON THE E-WAY. THE VECHILE WAS IN MOTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT

Mileage: 190,000

ESC IS SAYING OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME HARD TO TURN WITH.

Mileage: 185,000

'ESC OFF' WAS DISPLAYED SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED ON, WHILE IT WAS PARKED. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I RESEARCHED IT AND PONTIAC HAS RECALLED SIMILAR ESC ISSUES WITHIN THE SAME TIME FRAME THAT MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED.

Mileage: 150,000

ESC OFF AND SERVICE ESC CAME ON AS SOON AS VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED UP THEN WOULDN'T TURN AT ALL WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT IT JERKED BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE. BURNT NASTY SMELL FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CAR. NOW CAR WON'T EVEN START OR NOTHING

Mileage: 179,619

SERVICE ESC FLASHES ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT ON. ALSO MY PASSAGER HEADLIGHT BLOWS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. COULD BE ONE DAY COULD BE ONE MONTH.

Mileage: 200,000

WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, "SERVICE ESC" APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. IT FLASHES "SERVICE ESC..... TRACTION OFF...... ESC OFF". THIS DISPLAY WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND WILL SPORADICALLY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP CALLED DRIVE NOW IN LEBANON TENNESSEE. ABOUT 2 MILES AFTER SIGNING AND TRADING MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ONE THE ESC, TC OFF, CHECK ENGINE, LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHTS ALL CAME ON ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THEM 4 DIFFERENT TIMES NOW AND THEY STATED TO ME IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT!! A MONTH LATER IT ALL BEGAN AGAIN. IT STARTS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AGAIN. THIS TIME HOWEVER ONCE I REPLACED THE LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE I NOTICED IT HAD MELTED INSIDE THE WIRES. I DRIVE HOME AND SEEN THE CAR WAS SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AMD THE BATTERY CABLES WERE BLAZING WITH FIRE. LUCKILY I HAD A GALLON OF WATER THAT I PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY ARE NO LONGER LIABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY THEIR PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. SO NOW I HAVE A CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR THAT CAUGHT FIRE OVER THEIR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. WHAT DO I DO TO GET THIS CORRECTLY FIXED

Mileage: 101,880

WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR THE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ESC MESSAGES APPEAR. . SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED TURNING THE WHEEL, IT WILL BECOME HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CAR WILL BE DRIVING FINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD AND STIFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON MAJOR ROADS AND WHILE COMING IN ANG GOING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IT'S REALLY RANDOM AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T HAPPEN AT ALL FOR A WHILE. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT HAPPENS FOR A FEW TIMES A DAY. MY REMEDY IS USUALLY JUST PULLING OVER, PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF., LETTING IT REST FOR A MINUTE AND START IT AGAIN.

Mileage: 135,850

SERVICE ESC KEEPS COMING ON AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY. ALSO DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS BLOWING. BELIEVE THERE WAS A RECALL BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO.

Mileage: 89,000

THE POWER STEERING MODE/ LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF OR ALLOW STEERING. IT'S NOT DRIVABLE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BEFORE IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT IT WOULD LOSE STEERING GOING UP HIGHWAY AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND SPEEDS, BUT ONCE U CUT OFF IGNITION AND RESTART IT WOULD BE OK FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES.

Mileage: 161,000

GOING DOWN ROAD ESC WARNING AND POWER STEERING WARNING. POWER STEERING WENT. WILL NOT RESET

Mileage: 130,000

TAKATA RECALL ESC AND TRACTION LIGHTS WONT GO OFF WEATHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. LEFT HEAD LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING OUT, I'VE SEEN THIS ON SEVERAL CARS JUST LIKE MINE

FIRST THE POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING AND THE THEN SERVICE ESC IS NOW ON AND IT SHUT OFF. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WASN'T FIXED IN THE 2014 RECALL. ALSO THE SERVICE ESC AND BRAKE LIGHTS SOMETIME ILLUMINATE AND THEN GO OFF. NOW IT'S JUST ON ALL THE TIME AND HAS SHUT OFF MY ESC. IT IS LIT WHEN DRIVING AND IN PARK.

Mileage: 76,789

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, CITY & RURAL DRIVING, SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING AND WHILE ON STRAIGHT, IN MOTION AND WHILE PARKED, SMOOTH ROADS AND ROUGH, RAINING AND DRY. HOWEVER, PROBLEM OCCURRED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES DURING THE WINTER. STARTED OVER 6 MONTHS AGO, APPROX 93,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, 3 BELL-DINGS, "POWER STEERING," "DISABLED ESC," AND "SERVICE ESC" DASH LIGHTS COME ON, ALONG WITH ICON OF CAR W/SWERVY LINES. CONTINUE DRIVING AND STEERING SEEMED OK. DASH CONTINUES TO CYCLE "POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE ESC" WARNINGS. ISSUE REPEATS RANDOMLY. AFTER A PERIOD OF NORMAL USE, PROBLEM INTENSIFIES TO DASHBOARD GAGES, RADIO SCV, AND CRUISE TO OFF ; AUTO SHIFTING BECOMES ROUGH. ALL GAGES THEN FLUTTER UP AND DOWN INTERMITTENTLY. WORK DONE: MECHANIC = 9 PAGES OF CODES. NEW BATTERY/BATTERY CABLES. DROVE A WHILE, RECURRED - NO CODES. DROVE A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, RECURRED; CLEANED BATTERY, CHECKED FUSES. PASSED INSPECTION. DROVE A WHILE; 5 PAGES OF CODES. APPLIED ELECTRIC GREASE TO BCM TERMINALS. DROVE 3 DAYS; "POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE ESC" ISSUE RECURRED. HAVE VIDEO; FORMAT NOT ALLOWED

Mileage: 93,000

WHILE DRIVING, UNEXPECTEDLY, AN ERROR WILL APPEAR STATING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING. AT THIS TIME, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME, A "SERVICE ESC" CODE APPEARS ALSO AND IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEEDS WHICH POSES A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE. SOME INSTANCES HAVE INCLUDED THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR THE TAIL LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE IS PAID OFF AND EXPENSES HAVE BEEN INCURRED BY THE OWNER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE IS RECURRING. THE REPAIR CENTER CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE LARGE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THESE ISSUES POSE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE OWNER SHOULD CONTINUE TO ACCRUE COSTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THE PROBLEM ULTIMATELY IS NOT MITIGATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I HAVE A 2010 PONTIAC G6 AND SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I'VE HAD IT INTO GM SERVICE CENTERS SEVERAL TIMES TO CORRECT AN ISSUE WITH MY BRAKE LIGHT LAMPS NOT WORKING. WHILE DRIVING, WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE LAMPS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE, AND WHEN NOT PRESSING THE PEDAL AND DRIVING THE LAMPS WOULD OCCASIONALLY ILLUMINATE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT AND SERVICE ESC LIGHT WOULD COME AS WELL AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. THIS PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" AT LEAST 4 OR 5 SEPARATE TIMES (AND WOULD ALWAYS RETURN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER) BEFORE LAST YEAR WHEN IT THEN WAS "FIXED" AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2014 AS AN OFFICIAL GM SAFETY RECALL (GM RECALL 13036). APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS AGO, JUST OVER 12 MONTHS LATER, THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS BEGAN HAPPENING TO MY CAR AGAIN! WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL, ALONG WITH THE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN MY RECALL LETTER (SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ESC, ETC). I TOOK IT BACK TO GM SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ARE CLAIMING NOW THAT RECALL REPAIRS ARE ONLY DONE ONCE, AND SINCE THEY CAN'T BE SURE THAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS THE SAME, THAT I NOW HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ($1200) TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. THEY TRIED TO RE-DO THE RECALL REPAIR AS IT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE LETTER, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED. AT THAT POINT, GM TECHNICAL SUPPORT ADVISED THEM THAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO REPLACE ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND SAID THAT NOT ONLY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS, BUT ALSO THAT IT MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY THEN SAID MY OTHER OPTION WAS TO DRIVE IT HOME AS IS, WITHOUT FUNCTIONING BREAK LAMPS. IF THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME (I.E. BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK) AS BEFORE WHEN THE NHTSA DETERMINED THIS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE, WHY IS GM NOW UNWILLING TO FIX MY VEHICLE?

WHILE DRIVING SERVICE POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMS RECEIVED. LOST POWER STEERING/VERY HARD TO STEER. TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED THEN HAD NO ISSUES. THEN SEVERAL HOURS LATER HAD SAME ISSUE OCCURRED...TURNED CAR OFF/ON AND POWER STEERING RESTORED. THIS ISSUE KEEPS RE-OCCURRING WITH THIS 2010 G6, 2.4L V4 WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. DEALER INDICATES NO OPEN RECALL FOR THIS 2010 MODEL DESPITE RECALLS FOR EARLIER YEAR G6 MODELS WITH THESE EXACT SYMPTOMS.

I HAD AN INCIDENT IN 2013 THAT MIGHT COME IN TO PLAY WITH A RECENT RECALL. I OWN A 2010 PONTIAC G6. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD TRAVELING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 45MPH MY VEHICLE BECAME IMPAIRED. THE DASH SCREEN PROJECTED SERVICE ESC/ LOW TRACTION. THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH. THE CAR ALSO BECAME JERKY, JERKING THE WHOLE CAR BACK AND FORTH FOR A MOMENT. I THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GM SHOP AND AFTER CHANGING A LOT OF PARTS THAT DIDN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED THEY FINALLY CHANGED A PART CALLED A SENSOR AND THAT SEEMED TO STOP THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THERE IS STARTING TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BUT NOT MY CAR AND I'M NOT SURE WHY. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH THIS CAR SENSE I GOT IT. ...UPDATED 08/12/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/29/17*CN

WHILE TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE POWER STEERING FAILED, EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WHEEL, BROUGHT CAR TO STOP. DASH INDICATED "SERVICE ESC", AND "POWER STEERING". PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF CAR, AND A SHORT TIME LATER, RESTARTED CAR, SEEMED TO WORK CORRECTLY, THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES OVER THE FOLLOWING SEVERAL DAYS, BUT WOULD COME BACK AFTER CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. AFTER A WEEK OF THIS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT WOULD NOT COME BACK AFTER CAR WAS RESET. UNABLE TO DRIVER CAR AT THIS TIME AS A RESULT. *TR

Mileage: 135,000

HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES PAST TWO WEEKS. ISSUE TYPICALLY OCCURS AT STARTING OF CAR, ONCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY: A CHIME IS HEARD, THE DIC DISPLAYS POWER STEERING, THE ESC OFF INDICATOR COMES ON, AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING CAN RESET AND POWER STEERING WORKS. WHEN POWER STEERING IS WORKING, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE AT A STOP, CAN SOMETIMES BE FELT WHEN DRIVING. *TR

DEAR NHTSA; I OWN A 2010 PONTIAC G6 THAT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK INCURRED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. 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. 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 2010 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. I HOPE THAT THE NTSB WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ACCORDINGLY AND AMEND THE POWER STEERING RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010 MODELS. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES MY CAR PULLS WHEN I AM AT REST AND DRIVING. TODAY, I SAT IN MY CAR TO GET SOME HEAT ON MY LUNCH BREAK. MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND MESSAGES AND LIGHTS POPPED UP. THE ENGINE, TCS AND ESC LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND CRANK IT AGAIN AND I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE RATTLING. THAT HAPPENED AROUND 1 PM. I GOT OFF AROUND 730 PM TONIGHT AND AS I DROVE THE CAR RODE GOOD FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AND THEN IT BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND ALL OF THESE WARNINGS POPPED UP REGARDING TRACTION AND POWERING DOWN. I PULLED OVER SAT AND CRANK MY CAR AND THE ENGINE RATTLED HORRIBLY. I TURNED IT OFF AND CRANK IT AGAIN. THE RIDE WAS NOT SMOOTH AND IT WAS JERKING. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THIS YEAR. I RECEIVED ONE I BELIEVE LAST YEAR AND TOOK CARE OF IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR WENT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, SHORTY FOLLOWED BY THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR. I PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE MORE ON MY 35 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK. ON THE WAY HOME, HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING WOULD ONLY WORK FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS EACH TIME I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. NOW BOTH THE POWER STEERING AND ESC DONT WORK AT ALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER WHERE I LIVE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR WAS DISPLAYING ERROR CODE C0545, INDICATING THAT THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR, THE TORQUE POSITION SENSOR IN THE STEERING, NEEDS REPLACEMENT, AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON OTHER YEARS OF PONTIAC G6'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT 2010 WAS LEFT OFF THE RECALL. NO WORD YET ON WHETHER GM IS GOING TO OWN UP TO THEIR PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT GM CAN MANUFACTURE AND SELL VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. IT'S A WONDER THAT THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *JS

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 100 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. STARTED OFF IN MID APRIL WITH THE DASHBOARD ALERT BEEPS, AND WARNING DISPLAY THAT THE POWER STEER IS NOT SERVICEABLE, FOLLOWED BY A 2ND ALERT THE ESC IS OFF. ALONG WITH THE ALERTS. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ERROR WAS CLEARED AND NORMAL STEERING CONTROL RESUMED.AND FROM MID APRIL 2014 UNTIL EARLY JUNE, THIS ERROR WAS VERY RANDOM AN OCCURRED ONLY A FEW TIME (LESS THAN 10) BUT SINCE EARLY JUNE, IT HAPPENS ALMOST CONSTANT. I NO SOONER STOP, TURN OFF THE CAR, THEN RESTART THE CAR WHICH SOMETIMES CLEARS THE ERROR AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I WAS JUST TOLD MINUTES AGO THAT MY CAR'S VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, YET THE MODEL AND YEAR IS! ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS... I CAN'T DRIVE IT AS IS, AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED... WHY ISN'T AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM ADDRESSED BETTER THAN THIS? AND WHAT AM I TO DO? *TR

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE INDICATORS SUDDENLY ALERTED ME TO ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, ESC SYSTEM, AIRBAGS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE GAUGES ALL MAXED OUT AND THEN FAILED ENTIRELY. THIS WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THERE WERE NO CODES THAT REGISTERED DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME MY SPEEDOMETER AND ALL DASH FUNCTIONS CEASED TO WORK, THE SAME ALERTS CAME ON AND THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH INTO GEAR AND SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. WHILE I AM STILL ABLE TO DRIVE IT, I AM NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING NOR DO I FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED THE RECALL LISTS AND IT APPEARS THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 IS NOT AMONGST THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED. THIS IS ABSURD AND A DANGER TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE ROAD WHILE THESE CARS ARE BEING DRIVEN. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO IT'S MISTAKES AND CORRECT THEM IN ORDER TO RETAIN CUSTOMERS AND SAVE LIVES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE STREET THE POWER STEERING/POWER ASSIST FAILS AND THE CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE THE CAR COULD EXIT THE ROADWAY. STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK WILL RECTIFY THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. *TR

4 DAYS AGO DAY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE GYM THE POWER STEERING STARTED GOING OUT. SINCE THEN IT HAS LOST ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING . THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH AND NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL UP UNTIL 2009 MODEL YEAR BUT NOT ON THE 2010? THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST US G6 OWNERS. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS AND MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE BEFORE SOMEONE OR MYSELF GET SERIOUSLY HURT. ALSO THE SERVICE ESC MESSAGE HAS BEEN APPEARING AS WELL AND "ESC OFF" LIGHT IS ON. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TOMORROW OR MONDAY IF THEY CAN GET ME IN. OF COURSE I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL. SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND LACK OF OR LOSS OF STEERING COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE! *TR

LOW TRACTION LIGHT AND ESC LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AT RANDOM DURING LOW SPEED WITH-OUT APPLYING THE BRAKE, WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT AT LOW SPEED WITHOUT THE WHEELS LOSING TRACTION. NO CODE ERROR DETECTED WHEN THE CODE PROGRAMMER WAS RAN AND THE CODE ERROR AUTOMATICALLY SELF CLEARS AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF THEN TURNING BACK ON. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED DURING TIMES OF EXTREME HEAT GREATER THAN 98 OUTSIDE UNCERTAIN IF A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. THE BRAKES OPERATE NORMALLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CODE ERROR OCCURS. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE STOPPING THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION ERRORS COME UP ON THE DASH AND THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER I STOP AND RELEASE THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION AND TO THE DEALER THE ONLY CODE REGISTERED WAS C0561 WHICH, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, IS ANOTHER COMPUTER TELLING THE BRAKE CONTROLLER TO DISABLE THE ABS OR A COMMUNICATION FAILURE. I HAVE ALSO HAD ONSTAR RUN THE CODES AS IT HAPPENED AND THEY ONLY HAD THE ONE CODE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND SOMETIMES 2 TO 3 TIMES DURING ONE DRIVE. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL ARE NEEDED. *TR

THE OTHER DAY MY WIFE AND I WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND AS I WAS GOING INTO A CURVE I LOST MY POWER STEERING ALMOST HIT THE BANK AND SINCE THEN I CANT EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING GOING I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE GOT INJURED OR EVEN WORSE KILLED THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR THEY DO AND THEY SUE GM FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND WHEN I GO TO THE DEALER SHIP I WILL NOT PAY FOR IT AND IF I DO GM WILL HEAR ABOUT IT. *TR
