ONE DAY MY REAR DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK OR LOCK, WHEN THIS HAPPENS HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE CLIMB INTO THE BACK SEAT FROM THE FRONT SEAT TO UNLOCK. WHEN YOU LOCK THE DOORS U MUST CHECK TO SEE IF THEY LOCKED, THERE ARE DAYS THE LOOKS WORK BUT MOST DAYS THEY DO NOT WORK. I FEEL THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR STARTED TO LAG AND SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING WITH A LOAD PUT ON SUCH AS GOING UPHILL. IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT WON'T ALERT MECHANICS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT AND HAS COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

STEERING
THIS INITIALLY OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2013. MILEAGE IS ESTIMATED AT 120000 MILES AT THE TIME. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH THAT SAID POWER STEERING. 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. WITH 167000 MILES NOW ON THE CAR THE REPLACED POWER STEERING IS FAILING WITH REGULAR FREQUENCY, EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED AND I HAVE NO ASSIST. IF ANYTHING THE STEERING SYSTEM FIGHTS YOU TO PREVENT TURNING. ALSO IT SEEMS AS IF THE STEERING PINION JUMPS OFF A TOOTH WHEN TURNING AT A STOP I HEAR A STRANGE PINGING NOISE AND THEN THE CAR PULLS TO WHATEVER DIRECTION I TURNED TO AT THE STOP UNTIL I STOP AND TURN BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. 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. IF I HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WITH THE FORCE REQUIRED TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING FAILS I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT SOMEONE SMALLER THAN ME WILL DO IF THIS HAPPENS. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD BY THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM AT #1-800-762-2737. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND IT A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE WEBSITE, RECALL# 14772, WHICH IS AN EXPANSION RECALL FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL 14V-153. PONTIAC IS STATING THAT ONLY VIN NUMBER CARS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 18,2006-JUNE 30,2006 ARE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. PONTIAC AGREED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED BY JAKE SWEENY WHICH PONTIAC ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO. JAKE SWEENY INDICATED IT WAS THE TORQUE SENSOR. I THEN, CALLED BACK PONTIAC TO ADVISE THEM WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC OUTCOME AND PONTIAC STATED THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE READ THERE ARE OVER 69,000 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PONTIAC CAN JUSTIFY THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT RELATED TO THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE UNDER MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY (TITLE 49, CHAPTER 301) THIS IS A SAFETY AND RISK ISSUE. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. ONCE I CYCLED POWER AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP THE POWER STEERING WORKED. I THEN STARTED DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES WITHIN 200 MILES. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED EXTREMELY HARD STEERING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS WHICH PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER ALONG THE INTERSTATE. *TR

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY WILL SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. POWER STEERING IS RESTORED ONCE THE CAR IS RESTARTED. OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BY GM FOR THE VERY SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE THAT OTHER SAME MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 CARS ARE INCLUDED IN. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED IN 2013 (MILEAGE UNKNOWN- AMOUNT ABOVE IS ESTIMATE) BY MY HUSBAND WHO WAS PRIMARY DRIVER AND IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ONLY IN REVERSE AND IT RESTORED ON ITS OWN. I WAS DRIVING IT IN 2014 WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH- IT WENT OUT ON ME. IT ONLY RESTORED WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED. *TR
