2009 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IN A PARKING LOT, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. AFTER TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK, THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BECAME UNATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BECAME UNUSABLE. THE CAR ROLLED BACK AFTER THE SHIFTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN PARK, BUT LUCKILY THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON TO ASSIST IN MOVING THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO ALLOW THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK.

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.

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND RECALS FOR 2009 PONTIAC G6 LOSING POWER STEERING. STEERING COUMN LOCKS UP MAKING IT UNABLE TO CONTROL OR TURN.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE AN OCCUPANT AND DOES NOT DEACTIVATE IF THE SENSOR IS MADE. THE CAR LEAKS WATER DURING RAIN STORMS PROFUSELY FROM DRAIN LINES CONNECTED TO THE BODY WORK UNDER THE HEADLINER. THE LINES BECOME DISCONNECTED AT THE JOINTS DUE TO POOR DESIGN. WATER LEAKS ONTO THE SEATBELTS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE FLOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT BECOMES WET AS WELL. IN THE PAST THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AFTERMARKET SEAT UPGRADES IN THIS CAR THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAUSE THIS FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE WATER LEAKING CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE HEADLINER AS WELL AS IT CAUSES MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET DUE TO THE WATER BECOMING STAGNANT. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS MANY DOCUMENTED DESIGN FAULTS THAT WOULD CAUSE WATER INTRUSION SUCH AS POOR AIR CONDITIONING DRAINAGE CAUSES WATER TO BACK UP INSIDE THE CAR. AS WELL AS LEAKING FROM POOR SUNROOF SEALING. THE VEHICLE LEAKS PRIMARILY WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IN MOVING AND WHEN PARK IS ENGAGED.

IVE HAD ALIGNMENTS DONE BUT THE CAR STILL PULLS TO ONE SIDE. DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT OR ALIGN WITH STEERING WHEEL. TO DRIVE STRAIGHT MY STEERING WHEEL MUST BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT. IT ALWAYS PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN JERK WHILE DRIVING. PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL BE OFF WHEN PASSENGER IS IN SEAT, AND THEN SOMETIMES WILL BE ON WHEN NOONE IS IN THE SEAT.

STARTED SMELLING LOUD GAS FUMES FOUND OUT IT IS A GAS TANK LEAK WAS TOLD A RECALL WAS ISSUED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6 SERIES DEALER GM NOT AWARE IS THERE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

MY STEERING WHEEL KEEPS LOCKING UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. ITS BEEN DOING THIS BUT IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL START BACK WORKING. NOW ITS LOCKING UP ABOUT EVERY 5-10 MIN. MY AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. MY WINDOWS DO NOT WORK AND ALL OF MY CAR LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 2.4L DISPLAYED POWER STEERING. IT BECAME MANUAL STEERING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF & RESTARTED IT. THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. I CHECKED MY CARS INVOICES & THE VIN # CHECK WHICH SAID I HAD THE WORK DONE. I ALSO WAS DRIVING IN MY DRIVEWAY & THE WHEEL WOULD START TO TURN THEN LOCK UP & SNAP BACK HURTING MY WRIST. I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT.

TRANSMISSION CABLE BROKE COULD NOT PUT CAR IN GEAR, LOCK IN DRIVE

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING ALSO SPEED CONTROL SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF , NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK WHEN SOMEONE TOLD ME I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHICH I DON'T.

KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FUEL TANK LEAKING WITH THE PONTIAC G6 2009 AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I HAVE SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT WITH MY FUEL LEAKING AT THE TOP OF THE TANK THIS IS A VERY EXTREME SAFETY AND HAZARDOUS PROBLEM CAN A RECALL BE ISSUED THE DEALER SHIP WILL ONLY REPAIR IF A RECALL OR ASKI G ME FOR OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM PLEASE HELP.. SMELL OF GAS WHEN DRIVING ON DRIVER SIDE OF CAR WAS TOLD BY GMC GAS LEAK AT TOP OF TANK.

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.

POWER STEERING FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES. FAILURE MAY OCCUR WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR AT ANY TIME VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED. IF IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON THIS SOMETIMES CLEARS THE PROBLEM AND POWER STEERING WORKS. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF TRAVEL. FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS USED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT. POOR CONNECTION, BURNING/MELTED HEADLIGHT SOCKET, HEADLIGHT CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. ACTIONS TAKEN, I DIDN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL. BURNT SOCKET LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE HARNESS WASN'T ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE AMPERAGE. I REPLACED THE WIRES RUNNING TO HEADLIGHTS WITH A LARGER GAUGE. REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR. ALL HAS BEEN WELL SINCE, GOING ON 3 YEARS NOW. ANOTHER WIRING ISSUE IS THE INJECTOR/CAN SENSOR HARNESS. IF THIS BECOMES LOOSE IN ANY WAY THE CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, POOR FUEL, LOW IDLE, OR STALLING. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH I HAD NO FAULTS OR CEL. I THOUGHT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS ABOUT TO SNAP. ALL THIS DUE TO A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT WIGGLED JUST A TAD LOOSE.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET IT TO OPERATE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 156,000.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GARAGE.

DEAR NHTSA; I OWN A 2009 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, WHICH MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. 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.

TAKATA RECALL , MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO GO OUT AROUND LAST YEAR. I REPLACE THE BULBS WHICH WAS NO EASY TASK ALL TO FIND OUT THAT THE WIRE HARNESS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL GO BAD .REAL BAD WHERE THE WIRES IN THE HEADLIGHTS SHORT OUT AND CORRODE , I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND TO NO AVAIL THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN . I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEAD LIGHT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN YOU HAVE TO HAVE LIGHTS THAT WORK IN ORDER TO SEE TO DRIVE & IT IS THE LAW TO HAVE FULLY FUNCTIONS HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS. THEY CAN GO OUT AT ANYTIME JUST BY TURNING THE CAR ON OR DRIVING. I PAID 22.00 X2 FOR EACH BULB , $150 ONLINE ( 200 FOR EACH AT DEALERS) FOR A PAIR OF HEADLIGHTS AND $80 TO INSTALL THEM AND NOW JUST ANTHER $50 TO DIAGNOSE & $65.00 FOR ANTHER BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT ONLINE CAUSE I CANT AFFORD ANTHER &200 FOR KEN TOWERY OR THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO DO IT, SINCE THE DRIVER SIDE HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT YET AGAIN WITHIN LESS THAN YEAR OF ME JUST REPLACING THEM, I HAVE NO HEAD LIGHT ,NO PARK LIGHT, NO HIGH BEAM OR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CAUSE ALL THE WIRES IN THE HEAD LIGHT ARE CORRODED YET AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL , GM MADE A BIG MISTAKE WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS AND CONSUMERS ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR THIS MISTAKE THAT SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR OR ANY OTHERS. I AM SURPRISED BY THE CORROSION IN THESE WIRE HARNESS & SCARED THAT IT COULD TRIGGER A FIRE HAZARD BY SHORTING OUT .

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?

LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. ONCE IN A WHILE IT WILL COME ON BRIEFLY THEN GO BACK OUT. HAD THE HEADLIGHT TESTED, IT'S NOT THE LIGHT, ITS THE ELECTRICAL. FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER ONLINE, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, YET, NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE YET. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM, AND WILL TAKE SERIOUS THOUGHT INTO EVER PURCHASING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR MONTHS FOR MYSELF. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX.

RECALL NUMBERS: 14E044000 AND 14V153000 RELATE DIRECTLY TO ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING A PROBLEM VEHICLE, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE THAT I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN EACH RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] FOR FOLLOW-UP... 1) POWER STEERING MESSAGE POPS UP ON RADIO WHEN STATIONARY AND I CAN NOT TURN MY WHEEL..WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY AND I CAN TURN MY WHEEL - STEERING RACK PROBLEM IDENTIFIED INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS KEEP LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN AND NOW THE BACK PASSANGER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I'M DRIVING AND THE BAD LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON BUT MY GARAGE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY, THEY SAID THERE'S NO REASON FOR IT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

HI I HAVE A PROBLEM I HAVE A RECALL AND THE RECALL NUMBER IS N140115 AND IT WAS FOR MY POWER STEERING I HAVE CALLED PONTIAC AND IF TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A SPECIAL COVERAGE WITH A LIMITED WARRANTY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT CANNOT BE A RECALL AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, I ALMOST CRASHED GOING INTO WORK BECAUSE IT WENT OUT ON ME, I GET IN MY CAR TURN IT ON AND START DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ABOUT HALF WAY TO WORK AND I GO TO TURN AND IT GOT REAL HARD AND ALMOST WENT INTO A DITCH TRYING TO TURN, THIS IS NOT SAFE AND I NEED TO GET TO WORK, I HAVE TRIED TALKING TO GM AND PONTIAC BUT THEY WOULD NOT HELP, IT SAYS RECALL NOT "SPECIAL COVERAGE"

THE STEERING FAILED 2 OR SO YEARS AGO, THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR AND SENSOR UNDER A SERVICE ORDER FROM GM #15356 SO THEY NEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT WANT TO GET RECALLS INVOLVED. THEY GAVE A WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES THE CAR HAS 155867 MILES ON IT AND THEY ARE SAYING SORRY ITS NOT OUR PROBLEM, (#8-3849375898 CURRENT GM CASE #) EVEN WITH ALL STEERING ASSIST GONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CRACKING SOUND WHEN TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE U JOINT BEARING MAY BE THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. PENSKE CADILLAC OF SOUTH BAY (18600 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90504, (877) 591-3502) STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,786.

WHEN FIRST STARTING UP THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL IS NORMAL. ONCE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE STEERING WHEN IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL IS OKAY TO DRIVE THEN WHILE IN DRIVE, IT WILL SUDDENLY LOCK UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

I HAVE REPLACED 6 BULBS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHTS I THOUGHT THEY WERE BLOWN BUT COME TO FIND OUT THEY SHORT BECAUSE THEY ARE MELTING. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING AND THE HEADLIGHT SOCKETS JUST FOR THEM TO MELT AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED CHEVORLET AND GM MOTORS TO SEE WHY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE??? TONIGHT I DROVE DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD (WE'VE HAD A WRECK ON THIS ROAD EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK) IN VERY DANGEROUS FOG AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT THANK GOD ONE OF MY BRIGHTS WORKED AND I HAD A QUICK REACTION GOING 55MPH NOT EVERYONE WILL AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE CHEVORLET & GM MOTORS KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE AS THEY TOLD ME IN OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. THE WIRES TO MY HEADLIGHTS ARE MELTING I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I'M TERRIFIED THEY WILL CATCH ON FIRE AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOW I AM HORRIFIED THAT ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! WE'RE RECALLING TAKATA AIRBAGS (AIRBAGS PROTECT YOU IN A CRASH) BUT NOT HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT? THAT IS PUTTING EVERYONE'S SAFETY AT RISK. WHY ARE WE NOT TRYING TO PREVENT FATALITIES???!!!!

TAKATA RECALL WHILE I AM DRIVING MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 IT WILL RANDOMLY DING AT ME SAYING POWER STEERING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I WAS TURNING ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND I ALMOST HAD A WRECK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AGAIN YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

WHEN I START THE CAR, OCCASIONALLY THE STEERING LIGHT WILL DISPLAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I START IT BUT IT IS A CONCERN AND THERE ARE SOME RECALLS CONCERNING STEERING BUT I DO NOT FIND MY CAR LISTED.

POWER STEERING IS LOST WHILE DRIVING AND LOCKED UP AT START OF CAR. THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AS WELL.

CONSTANT FUEL SMELL, AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE RUBBER HOSE ON TOP OF FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED AND IS EMITTING GAS SMELL. SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

MY NEIGHBOR WHO ALSO OWNS A G6 WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK MY CAR WITH HER KEY? HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED?

POWER STEERING LIGHT ON WHEEL WON'T TURN AND ELECTRICAL SPARKING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND CLICKS WHEN CAR NOT IN MOTION.

THE POWER STEER QUIT WORKING. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED AND IT BLOWS HEADLIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.
