2006 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL STOOPED WORKING AT 60,000 MILES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE BRAKE PAD PRESSED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 PONTIAC G6 (29,000 MILES) WHEN I MAKE TURNS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL SHUT OFF AND THE RADIO WILL FLASH A POWER STEERING WARNING THEN I WILL HEAR A DING SOUND AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL G6 MODELS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN A FATALITY IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. IT'S SAD THAT SOMEONE MAY HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIE BEFORE GM TAKES THIS SERIOUS. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODELS, JUST ABOUT ALL G6 VEHICLES FROM 2005 - 2008 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHED AND THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED, MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING UNIT MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING. THE STEERING BECAME STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY G-6 PONTIAC TO WORK, I TRIED TO TURN THE CORNER, & I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, & WENT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL HARD ENOUGH. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM PONTIAC WHICH STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM. MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE IT HAD TO MANY MILES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD & SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL INSTEAD. YOU HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON THE 2007-2009 MAZDA3 AND MAZDA5 POWER STEERING VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL . HAVE YOU NOT GOTTEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THE G6 PONTIAC, OR DOES IT TAKE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF LIFE FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO GET THE SAME RECALL. I HAD TO SPEND $708.00 TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY. I DIDN'T GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, BUT I DO HOPE YOU CONSIDER ALSO MAKING THE G-6 PROBLEM A TOTAL RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 G6, NOTICED THE POPPING SOUND IN THE STEERING AT 40K MILES AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW AT 75K MILES, THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND IN THE STEERING AND IT SHAKES BAD WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR EVEN SLOWING DOWN. I DRIVE INTERSTATE AND HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD BABY WITH ME AND AM EXTREMELY UPSET BY WHAT I AM READING. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT COVERED THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. I WILL BE BRINGING IT TO A DEALER THIS WEEK TO HAVE THE REST OF IT LOOKED AT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE FUEL PUMP LEAKED OVER THE ENGINE AND ON THE GROUND WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A FUEL PUMP RECALL (NOT IN NHTSA DATABASE). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE RECALL ONLY AFFECTED G5 MODELS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,700.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING BETWEEN 2 AND 5 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED. SHE STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THAT IT BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS CONSTANT AND WAS ON GOING FOR THE LAST THREE TO FOUR MONTHS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 57,000.

PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP, I HAVE RECENTLY CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS OF HARMING PEOPLES LIFE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF SHIFTING OF MY TRANSMISSION IN A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR SOMETIMES AND WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY IS A CHALLENGE IF I WILL MAKE IT OR NOT. THE VEHICLE DECIDES IF IT WILL GO OR NOT AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS 2006 VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD OR OTHERS TO BE SOLD UNTIL THIS ONGOING PROBLEM ACROSS THE NATION TO BE SOLVED. IT HAPPENS AT 65,000 MILES ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. *TR

PONTIAC 06 G6 GTP SEDAN I HAVE A SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM 55 TO 65 AND I'VE GOT MULTIPLY THINGS FIXED TO ELIMINATE IT FROM WHEELS BALANCED, REPLACED A BAD TIRE, REPLACED A BAD RIM AND STILL NO SIGNS OF STOP SHAKING THAT LAST COMPONENT CAN ONLY BE THE STEERING AND THE PRICE TO FIX OR REPLACE IS RIDICULOUS AND IM 19 YR OLD TRYING TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND I BUY A GM CAR CAUSE MY PARENTS HAVE OWNED MANY GM VEHICLES NOW ITS JUST AS BAD AS A FOREIGN VEHICLE GM YOU SHOULD FIX A FAULTY PART ON YOUR VEHICLES CAUSE YOUR RELIABILITY IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN BY IGNORING YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE MARCH 2010 GM RECALL OF CERTAIN PONTIAC MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2006 G6 MODEL. I OWN A 2006 G6 WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE. IF THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON ALL 2006 G6 MODELS, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

I BOUGHT MY G6 GTP WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IN 2006. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. FIRST THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT ON THE CAR, IT LOOKED LIKE WATER SPOTS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER 2WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE SPOTS OFF BUT THEY HAVE SLOWLY CAME BACK. SECOND MY SPEAKERS BLEW AFTER 1 MONTH OF HAVING MY CAR. THEY WERE REPLACED. THIRD, MY TWO FRONT LIGHTS MUST OF HAD TINY HOLES BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET REALLY FOGGY AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE CARWASH. THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. FOURTH TIME I RECEIVED A LETTER FOR A RECALL DUE TO A BAD MOUNTING OF THE SUNROOF HOSE. IT STAINED MY HEADLINER AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK LIKE 3 TIMES BECAUSE AFTER REPLACING THE HEADLINER THEY APPARENTLY DIDN'T PUT THINGS BACK HOW THEY SHOULD THEREFORE ON RAINY DAYS THE WATER WOULD COME INSIDE MY CAR THROUGH VARIOUS PLACES. FINALLY THEY GOT IT RIGHT AND IT WAS RAIN FREE INSIDE MY VEHICLE. FIFTH, MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT ON ME TWICE. SIX, WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL IT MAKES THIS HORRIBLE POPPING NOISE, VERY IRRITATING. SEVENTH, MY ABOUT A MONTH NOW MY CAR HAD BEEN SMELLING ALOT LIKE GAS, NOT TO MENTION I HAVE A 2YR OLD AND A 7MONTH OLD THAT ARE ALWAYS IN THE CAR. I REGRET BUYING THIS VEHICLE AND I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF! THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS GAS PROBLEM. IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE ALL OF US THAT OWN THESE PONTIAC G6 PLEASE DO! *TR

MY POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, IT USUALLY IS WORKING. AS SOON AS I MAKE A RIGHT TURN THE STEERING TURNS VIOLENTLY AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IF THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS OVER 5 MPH, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT AM FEELING THE LONGER I ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN, MY LUCK WILL RUN OUT. *TR

1) STATIONARY - KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE DOES NOT OPEN EITHER DOOR AFTER SEVERAL TIMES PRESSING THE REMOTE BUTTON. THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE A KEY HOLE TO MANUALLY OPEN EITHER DOOR OR THE TRUNK. 2) STATONARY OR IN MOTION - LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE BOTH WIRING CONNECTORS FOR LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE MELTED AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST LOSS ON 2006 PONTIAC G6. I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL LETTER FOR MY G6 ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST LOSS. IT SAYS IT WILL COVER THE DEFECT FOR 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 130,000 ON IT SO THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED. I GET THE CHIME AND POWER STEERING DISPLAY ON MY CONSOLE INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 95,000 MILES BUT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO GET FIXED. THEY SENT ME THE FIRST NOTICE WHEN MY CAR HAD 96000 MILES ON IT SAYING THEY WOULD COVER IT TO 70,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD BY PONTIAC THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE LIMIT. IF THEY WOULD HAVE MADE IT 100,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THEY KNOW ITS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY KEEP BOOSTING THE MILEAGE UP, BUT ALWAYS LOWER THAN THE MILES I HAVE ON MY CAR. MY STEERING IS GOING TO QUIT WORKING ONE OF THESE DAYS, AND THEY KNOW WHY, BUT THEY WONT FIX IT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 3 MONTHS AGO....A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 CHILDREN THE POWER STEERING WENT, I TURNED THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED AGAIN. I GAVE GM MY VIN # AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS CAR, BUT WHY WOULD THIS CAR DO THIS, IT ONLY HAS 108 KM ON IT AND IF OTHER PONTIAC G6 WERE BE RECALLED WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WHY WOULD MY CAR NOT QUALIFY. JUST A NOTE, THAT THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION AND COULD OF BEEN A LOT WORSE IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6.. I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FROM APRIL 25TH 2007-SEPTEMBER 25TH 2007 IN WHICH IT WAS CLOSED. MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL IN 2007 AM I ABLE TO STILL GET MY CAR FIXED WITHOUT COST TO ME...STEERING ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD A THUMPING IN THE CAR WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THERE COULD BE OTHER DEFECTIVE PARTS ONCE THEY GET INTO IT. AT PRESENT I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND AM SAVING UP TO GET THE $800 REPAIR STARTED. I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO RECALL THE G6'S FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE A FAULTY STEERING SYSTEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BUT IT IS THE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION I HAVE, SO AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO CHOICE. ALSO, I HAVE HAD OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR EVERY YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT 3 YEARS AGO. THE FIRST YEAR WAS A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION, THE SECOND WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND NOW THIS YEAR THE THERMOSTAT AND SENSOR AND THIS STEERING PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! *TR

DRIVING ONE DAY AND HEAR THUMPING, ENDS UP THAT 2 LUG NUTS ARE MISSING ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE, BUY 2 LUG NUTS AND PUT THEM ON PROBLEM FIXED RIGHT? WRONG!!!!!! NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER, (HOW MANY PEOPLE CHECK THEIR LUG NUTS EVERYDAY, NO ONE BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO.) THERE ARE 3 LUG NUTS MISSING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR 1 ON THE BACK TIRE AND NOW 2 BROKEN LUG NUT SCREWS ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE???? I KNOW, HOW DO THE SCREWS THAT THE LUG NUTS GO ONTO BRAKE?? I'LL TELL YOU WHY, BECAUSE THE CAR IS ALWAYS SHAKING, HIT A BUMP AND THE WHOLE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO BRAKE. INSTEAD OF "FEELING SO FLY IN MY G-6" THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE A SONG CALLED "BRAKING DOWN IN MY G-6" I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT SONG CAUSE ITS TRUE!!!!!!!!! WITH THE RECALL ON THE STEERING, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH THE SHAKING OF THE CAR AS WELL AND I DON'T THINK ITS THE STEERING BUT MORE LIKE THE SUSPENSION MAYBE... *TR

PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THEN LOST POWER STEERING, ALMOST CRASHED TWICE. VEHICLES SUDDENLY HARD TO CONTROL AND UNABLE TO MOVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN SHE WAS INFORMED THAT HER BRAKE LIGHTS WERE SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATING WHEN DRIVING BUT WHEN BRAKING, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE SOMETIMES WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR FROM PARK UNLESS THE BRAKES WERE FIRMLY AND STEADILY APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000- EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS) BUT WAS ADVISED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,380 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,416.

THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAD TO BE WORKED ON WHEN IT ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS AND HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED DOWN. THE WAY THE ROTOR WAS GROOVED IN 2 SPOTS AND MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE REST OF THE SURFACE WAS RUSTY. IT WAS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 19,000 MILES ON IT. I EVEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR. VERY HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER SEEING THE ROTORS WHEN I TOOK THEM OFF. *TR

PULLING OUT OF MY ROAD AND POWER STEERING JUST GIVES OUT.. I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE DITCH ACROSS THE STREET. IM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THERE WERE CARS COMING AT ME AT 55 MPH. I MANAGE TO TURN AROUND AND GO HOME, MY BOYFRIEND CHECKS IT OUT AND THE MANUAL SAYS POWER STEERING FLUID. NO POWER STEERING FLUID IN THIS CAR, ITS ALL ELECTRICAL. HE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND I'M PAYING 80 DOLLARS AN HOUR TO "DIAGNOSE" THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE DIED IF I WERE DRIVING, I'M NOT THE HULK, I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF THE POWER STEERING JUST DECIDES TO GIVE OUT ON ME. WHAT IF I WERE ON A BACK ROAD WITH LOTS OF TURNS? I WOULD HAVE CRASHED RIGHT INTO A TREE. THANK GOD I WAS JUST PULLING OUT WHEN IT ACTED UP, THANK GOD THE CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN FOR ME. *TR

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THERE IS A CLUNKING IN MY STEERING WHENEVER I TURN, AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP MY CAR SWAYS A BIT. AS WELL AS ONCE IN A WHILE I LOSE MY POWER STEERING WHICH I ALMOST CRASHED BUT MAINTAINED MY COMPOSURE. *TR

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6, 2006, RECENTLY THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR STARTING GOING OFF AND ON. TODAY WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED, LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. CAR IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO GM DEALER ON THURSDAY, 8/5. *TR

GM NOT RECOGNIZING A LARGER VIN # RANGE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :09V036000 THIS INVOLVES BRAKE ILLUMINATION ACTIVATING WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN BRAKING. ISSUE IS DUE TO CORROSION ON WIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN ABNORMALLY PULLING TO THE LEFT MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT.

THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT HAS FAULTY STEERING. I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN AT 45MPH AND MY STEERING GAVE OUT AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AS I WAS GOING AROUND THIS TURN. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE COMING THE OTHER WAY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SEVERAL OCCURRENCES HAPPENED LIKE THIS AND MY MECHANIC CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. ON A WEBSITE CALLED G6 OWNERS FORUM, I WAS READING THROUGH DIFFERENT PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH DIFFERENT YEARS. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THERE WAS ONE DEATH INVOLVED WITH THIS VERY ISSUE AND MANY INJURIES REPORTED. I REALLY THINK GM/PONTIAC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THIS ISSUE AND SCHEDULE A RECALL TO PROTECT THE OWNERS OF CURRENT GM VEHICLES. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 --WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IT ACTED FINE. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROX. 15-20MPH THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE RADIO AND BEEPED AT ME. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE RADIO AGAIN. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND HAD I BEEN GOING ANY FASTER IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. TAKING THE CAR INTO THE SHOP TOMORROW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE G6 IT WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING.. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF; IT HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DRIVING IT TODAY THE POWER STEERING WENT TOTALLY OUT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MAKE THE POWER STEERING WORK. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, YOU THEN CAN DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE MILES BEFORE IT GOES OUT AGAIN. THEN RESTART THE PROCESS.. AND IF IT GOES OUT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN, IT CAUSES YOU TO GO OFF ROAD. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, 4CYL. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IS FAILING ON THIS CAR. WITH A QUICK RESEARCH ON GOOGLE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE AND ACCIDENTS ARE OCCURRING. THE RECALL ON THE COBALT, G5 AND OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME POWER STEERING ASSIST. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THE PONTIAC G6? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON FIRST AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE STEERING WAS SO HARD TO TURN THAT I HAD TO PARK THE CAR CAUSE I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. OTHER YEAR MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT THE 06 HASN'T. THE VEHICLES A UNSAFE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE WARNING CHIME BEGAN TO SOUND. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT HAS A CLUNK IN THE STEERING WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND TURN THE WHEEL. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE POWERSTEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT. I CAN PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL RESET. HOWEVER, MORE RECENTLY THAT IS NOT WORKING AND IF I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A WRECK. THE POWERSTEERING GOES OUT AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK AND THE DAYS IT GOES OUT IT CONTINUES ALL DAY LONG. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A VERY BAD WRECK. I HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO WAS REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND HE DIDN'T SUGGEST DOING THAT JUST YET. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDS CHECKED OUT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING ACCELERATED AND WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED.

2006 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING GOES OUT RANDOMLY WHEN THERE IS EXTREME HOT WEATHER , WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IT LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO USE IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT I PURCHASED LAST SUMMER. SINCE THEN MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT ONLY LAST FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR UP IT WAS FINE. BUT THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON JULY 10, 2010. I WAS HEADING HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND AS I WENT TO TURN OFF HER STREET MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AND MY RADIO SCREEN SAID "POWER STEERING". I HAD TO USE EVERY BIT OF ENERGY I HAD TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND MAKE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE SAFELY. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THEN. I CHECK IT EVERYDAY JUST TO MAKE SURE IT HASN'T FIXED ITSELF LIKE LAST TIME BUT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK... I CALLED GM TO REPORT IT AND THEY BASICALLY SAID OH WELL AND TOO BAD, I HAVE A FEELING I AM GOING TO HAVE TO END UP PAYING FOR THIS AND I DEFINITELY DO NOT HAVE $800 TO FORK OUT AND PAY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SUCH AS THIS. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE CAME OFF. UNIT 1 PULLED OVER ONTO THE RIGHT BERM WHERE IT BECAME DISABLED. *BF ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, THE LUG NUTS BECAME LOOSE AND FELL OUT DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE. (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT #10-0461-90)*JB UPDATED 09/13/10*BF

I BOUGHT A PONTIAC G6 2006 RECENTLY AND IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD BUY BUT NOW ITS BEEN GIVING ME STEERING TROUBLES WERE THE POWER STEERING STIFFENS UP AND I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. I'VE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND I FOUND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOLLOWING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,750 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,780.

MY 2006 G6 HAS HAD ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING SINCE I GOT IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT 2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS DURING THE SUMMER AND I'D HAD THE CAR TWO WEEK AND POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS THE DASH. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOTHING AND TO IGNORE IT. NOW TWO YEARS LATER ITS DOING THE SAME THING, IT NORMALLY DOES THIS DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS. AT TIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO TURN BUT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN I FIRST CRANK THE CAR UP. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE POWER STEERING TIME ADJUST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, I'M CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD KEEP THIS CAR. IM REALLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I ALSO HEAR THE CLINKING NOISE WHEN I BREAK AND THUMP NOISE WHEN I TURN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IF THIS IS A PERSISTENT ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVEN AFTER ITS BEEN REPAIRED THEN IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ITS WORTH KEEPING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY G6 IS 53,000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH THE CONTACT WAS STOPPED BY A POLICE OFFICER AND INFORMED THAT HIS BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. THE CONTACT VIEWED A BRAKE LIGHT RECALL ON THE WEBSITE WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL ID NUMBER 09V036000, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN. *TR

A FEW MONTHS BACK I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A POPPING SENSATION WHEN TURNING AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. TODAY I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THE CAR STARTED TO DING AND ACROSS THE RADIO READ SCREEN POWER STEERING . I LOST POWER STEERING TO THE CAR AND IT WAS VERY VERY HARD TO TURN. *TR

THE 2005- 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS FAULTY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THERE SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE RIGHT AWAY! ONCE IT HAPPENS THE CAR IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS GM RECALLED THE CHEVY COBALTS AND THE PONTIAC G5'S SO WHY NOT THE G6 THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND PROOF TO THE COMPANY THAT THEY NEED TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE AND NEED TO RECALL THE PRODUCT. THERE HAVE BEEN DEATHS REGARDING THIS MATTER I MEAN GM MAN UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING IF YOU STILL WANT CUSTOMERS TO PURCHASE YOUR PRODUCT!! THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN KNOWING THE FEELING OF DRIVING YOUR CAR 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN THIS PROBLEMS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR YOUR DRIVING THAT'S MORE THAN A SCARY FEELING! THE PROBLEM TO FIX THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC ASSET POWER STEERING MOTOR. HELP ON THIS SITUATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FOR 1,000'S OF PEOPLE OUT THERE INCLUDING ME! *TR
