2006 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

ON SEVERAL OCCASION I NOTICE THAT IF YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY THE CAR WOULD BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVER ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND A CAR PULLED IN FROM OF ME. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID GETTING HIT, MY CAR BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO DIE. MY SON WAS GOING TO WORK ON 6/3/2014, SOMEONE PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM HE SWERVED TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT AND AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN, AND SPIN, AND SPIN OUT OF CONTROL HE HIT THE WALL SEVERAL TIME BEFORE STOPPING, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE TOTALED. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE CHECK FOR DEFECT BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MY FAULT OR MY SON WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. FIRST, THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THEN, THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON. YOU CAN PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON AND THEY STAY ON, OR IT WILL TURN THEM OFF AND THEY WILL STAY OFF. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO TWO DIFFERENT AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS, INCLUDING THE ONE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. GM SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT LISTED ON THE WEBSITE. SO I CALLED GM AND THEY STATED I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE A MANUFACTURER DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS NOT A "LEGIT RECALL AS OF YET" AND THAT IF IT WAS FOUND TO BE PART OF THE RECALL THE COST WOULD BE REIMBURSED. I EXPLAINED TO THE GM AGENT ON THE PHONE THAT IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. SHE STATED I NEEDED TO WAIT FOR A "LEGIT RECALL" TO BE MAILED TO ME. THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM GM PREVIOUSLY IS THE SAME TYPE OF LETTER I HAD RECEIVED ABOUT THE OTHER TWO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE THAT ARE LISTED ON THE WEBSITE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS FOR. THE MALFUNCTIONING OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC G6, I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, AND REAR WHEEL-WELL, ALSO WOULD NOT START ON FIRST ATTEMPT, STARTS ON SECOND ATTEMPT . LOOKED ONLINE FOUND A RECALL ON 2007 PONTIAC G5 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V41900, IN HOT WEATHER STATES WITH OTHER GM VEHICLES , OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD ADDRESS IT, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEN NUMEROUS POST AND A HIGH FAILURE RATE OF A PLASTIC FITTING ON THE FUEL PUMP. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO GM AS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND A RECALL IN PLACE TO SAVE LIVES!!

I WAS GOING AROUND A CURB AND NOTICE THE WHEEL TURNING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THAN I SAW THAT MY RADIO SHOW IN RED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS A PROBLEM. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. IT WAS STIFF AND HARD TO MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND NOTICE THAT IT WAS NOT STIFF ANY MORE AND I COULD DRIVE THE CAR AS NORMAL. VERY AFRAID THAT IT WILL LOCK UP AGAIN. PLEASE HELP. *TR

REFERENCE TO:NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10594629 JUST LOCKS AND "POWER STEERING" (NO KIDDING!) COMES ON THE RADIO W/CHIME. ALL OR NOTHING. YOU CAN STILL DRIVE WITH MAJOR ARM WORKOUT. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE YOUR DRIVING, WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE CAR AND TURN THE KEY OR EVEN IF YOU LEAVE IT WARMING UP AND COME BACK OUT. RIGHT NOW WITH ME IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERYTIME I TURN THE KEY AND EVEN IF IT STARTS OK IT COULD HAPPEN THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK OR BE FINE ALL DAY. *TR

WHY ARE THE PARTS FOR THE STEERING RECALL FOR THE PONTIAC G6 NOT YET AVAILABLE FROM GM? HOW MANY MORE CRASHES MUST TAKE PLACE? HAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BEEN FILED YET ON THIS MATTER? IF SO, HOW DO I ENTER MY NAME INTO THAT SUIT? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 2006, I WAS DRIVING AT OR AROUND 25 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT WOULD NOT START. BEFORE IT SHUT OFF I HEARD SOME SORT OF SCREECHING SOUND. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. I BOUGHT IT PREOWNED WITH 63,000 MILES. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE WOULD DIE AFTER 73,000 MILES. *TR

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WAITING TO TURN LEFT ONTO MY ROAD, AS I BEGAN TO TURN LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS BACK TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AT THE TIME. I THEN CAME TO A STOP AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL UNTIL I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REPEATEDLY BY PHONE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY POWER STEERING B/C MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THEIR RECALLS. THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT MY CAR AND ACT LIKE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I CALL. EVERY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED, SO I DO NOT SEE WHY MINE IS NOT ALSO INCLUDED. I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING MY CAR ALL TOGETHER AND FEEL THAT THE POWER STEERING ISSUES ARE VERY EXTREME THAT THEY MAY RESULT IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THEY TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. *TR

OUT GETTING LUNCH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. *TR

MY POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT USED TO JUST GO OUT ON OCCASION. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THINK IT SHOULD BE SINCE IT GOES OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT TURNING LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL JERK PULLING RIGHT. I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING. MY CAR ENDED UP ON THE SIDEWALK OF LOWE'S TREES. I WAS SO AFRAID BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN. RIGHT THEN MY CAR BECAME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR HOME. THAT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE. MY ARMS AND HANDS HURT DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING IN ANY DIRECTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,214 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,536. UPDATED 8/11/14*CN UPDATED 8/30/2017*CN

RECENTLY IN MAY I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 . ONCE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AS FAR AS THE SPEED SENOR CONTROL, I TOOK ACTIONS AS FAR AS GETTING QUOTES FOR REPAIRS. EVERY TRANSMISSION PLACED THAT I CONTACTED WAS QUOTING A PRICE NO HIGHER THAN 3,000 BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION THAT WAS IN THE CAR. AS THE DAYS AND TIME GOES BY THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO COME WITH THIS MONEY. I CONTACTED THE LIEN HOLDER IN JUNE, STATED THAT I WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR, BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO COME UP THAT TYPE OF MONEY TO REPAIR MY CAR. AS OF 08/01/2014, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM GM STATING THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT WAS GIVING ME. I HAVE SENT A COPY OF THE LETTER TO UNITED AUTO CREDIT THINKING THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THIS IN CONSIDERATION. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE OCCURRED I WOULD HAVE KEPT MY CAR, INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE TIME AND TROUBLE BEING WITHOUT A CAR, AND PAYING ON A CAR THAT I NO LONGER HAVE. SINCE I HAD MY CAR I WAS NEVER LATE ON PAYMENTS. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME AN ON 9 MONTH PROBATION PERIOD WITH MY JOB, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO CALL OFF WORK OR LATE FOR WORK. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, I HAVE KEPT UP THE MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTS TO FOLLOW THAT, UNTIL THE DAY IT WAS RETURNED TO THE LIEN HOLDER. BY, NOT KNOWING THIS RECALL WAS GOING TO OCCUR, THIS HAS COST ME A LOT OF MONEY THAT I HAVE TO PAY BAY TO MY LIEN HOLDER. CONSIDERING THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE LETTER AFTER THE I HAD SENT MY CAR BACK. IT'S UNFAIR TO ME, THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS SITUATION AND I HAVE TO PAY MY LIEN HOLDER 5200.00 BACK, BECAUSE OF THIS. IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION FOR THIS MATTER, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS HANDY. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BROKEN ON THIS CAR. TO REPAIR THE CAR, IT HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. GM LATER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GM SAFETY RECALL 14152 ISSUED IN JULY 2014, BUT NOTED THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL NOTICE. A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WAS ISSUED BY GM IN SEPTEMBER 2014. I COMPLETED THE CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM FOR THE REPAIRS COMPLETED ON MAY 5, 2014 AND SUBMITTED TO GM ON 10/15/2014. THE TOTAL BILL FOR REPAIRS WAS $451.61. GM HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE TOW BILL OF $158.00. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE WITH THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKEN AND TOWING THE CAR WAS THE ONLY WAS TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GM CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT FORM STATES THAT ALL "REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY COSTS TO CORRECT THE CONDITION DESCRIBED WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR REIMBURSEMENT". I FEEL THE TOW BILL OF $158 IS REASONABLE AND WAS REQUIRED TO REPAIR THIS CAR A FULL TWO MONTHS BEFORE GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE CONDITION AS NOTED IN THEIR RECALL NOTICE 14152. I CAN PROVIDE ALL BILLING DOCUMENTATION I HAVE FOR THE REPAIRS IF NEEDED. GM (VIA THEIR DEALER KINDRED CHEVROLET) PAID $293.61 ON 12/18/2014 USING THEIR CLAIM NUMBER [XXX]. AS I STATED ABOVE, THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE REST OF THE BILL ( $158.00) FOR TOWING THE CAR ON MAY 5, 2014 FOR REPAIRS.

FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE REGARDLESS OF SPEED. GASOLINE RUNS DOWN TANK NEAR EXHAUST SYSTEM. PUMP IS NOT IN AN AREA OF THE CAR WHERE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS EXPECTED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. BOTH BULBS WERE CHANGED AND FUSES EVALUATED BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COMBINED WITH A STEERING PROBLEM NOTED IN A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE ON THE ROAD. *TR

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, THE FIRST RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS MAY 2014 AND THEN THE OTHERS FOLLOWED. THERE ARE 3 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND NONE OF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS? ALL RECALLS HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. AM I DRIVING A DEATH TRAP? GM CONTINUES TO PUSH CARS OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HAVE THESE PARTS AVAILABLE AND REPAIR THE CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. AS A GOVERNMENT AGENCY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 PONTIAC G6 (179,000 MILES) FOR MY SON ON APRIL 26, 2014. A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN THE POWER STEERING HAS LOCKED UP ON HIM, CAUSING HIM TO HAVE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR SO THE STEERING WILL AGAIN WORK.SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE THE CAR ON MAY 11, 2014. I LOOKED UP ON-LINE TO INQUIRER IF THIS WAS PART OF RECALL, BUT WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT IN RECALL. CALLED DEALER THEY STATED THAT GM HAS POLICY OUT THERE IF NOT ON RECALL THEY ARE ONLY FIXING VEHICLES UNDER 150, 000 MILES. HUH? SO BECAUSE THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN MORE, IT IS NOT COVERED BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THOSE COVERED. PLEASE HELP.ALL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED, MY CHILDS SAFETY IS ON THE LINE. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TEST AND REPLACED WITH NEW PART CONTAINING A NEW STARTER AND STARTER RELAY. WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR TESTING ON THEFT AUTO SWITCH AND THEY REPORTED IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WILL START AT TIMES WHEN ITS READY ALL OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS WERE FINE. SO WHATS THE CAUSE BEHIND THE DELAY. IGNITION SWITCH! DOES SOMETHING HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE MATTER IS PROPERLY TAKING CARE OF. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL.... *TR

THE 2006 PONTIAC'S BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE, AND THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. I'M NOT SURE THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS SCARY!!!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF OUR SUBDIVISION ON A SMALL HILL WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS ABLE WITH DIFFICULTY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT A BLOCK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER. I DID NOT SEE ANY WARNING DISPLAYED OR HEAR ANY BEEP. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE SO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE VEHICLE NUMBER OR EXACT MILEAGE IS. I DID NOT RECALL HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL AND RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE IGNITION SWITCH IN SOME VEHICLES HAS RECEIVED A GREAT DEAL OF PRESS, BUT I DIDN'T RECALL ANY NEWS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL STEERING ISSUE. GM SHOULD HAVE WARNED OWNERS DIRECTLY OF THE POSSIBLE FAILURE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND LOSS POWER IN HER STEERING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN FOR SOME TIME, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME WITH NO ISSUES. THE CAR WILL BE PARKED UNTIL WE CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL. *TR

YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR GM PONTIAC G6 CARS, INCLUSIVE OF MY MODEL. IRONICALLY, WHEN I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK!!!! WHEN I CALLED T HE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GM IN DETROIT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS STILL "FRESH" AND THAT A COMPLETE VIN LIST HAD BEE COMPLETED YET FOR THE RECALL AND MAY NOT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH. SHE DID HOWEVER, ISSUE ME A CASE NUMBER AND PATCHED ME THROUGH TO THE LOCAL GM PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND TOLD ME, HE WOULD WORK WITH ME AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, BUT THE INFO FROM GM COULD BE SLOW COMING. GM NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL HERE!!!!!!

I HAVE IT IN WRITING AND VOICE MESSAGES WHERE THEY STATE THEY WILL PAY FOR A TOW AND A RENTAL, WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE TOW TODAY I CALLED THE NUMHER PROVIDED FOR ME, THAT I READ BACK AS I WROTE IT DOWN, AND IT WAS A FALSE NUMBER.

ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE IT IN WRITING WHERE A MEMBER OF GM CUSTOMER CARE STATED MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE I JUST NEED TO USE EXTRA CAUTION TO STEER.
