STEERING
I HAD 3 RECALLS FIXED ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 LAST WEEK. LESS THAN I WEEK LATER, MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AT THE TIME IT GAVE OUT AND NOT DRIVING AROUND LOTS OF OTHER VEHICLES, AS I COULD BARELY PHYSICALLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND CALL FOR HELP, AS THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD EVEN DRIVE TO A DEALERSHIP OR ANYWHERE FOR HELP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN VERY BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS AT NIGHT. REPLACED BULB AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED. REPLACED BULB AGAIN AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW LEARNING THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS CAR BECAUSE THE HARNESS CONNECTOR IS MELTING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT DUE TO CONSTANT OVERHEATING IT WILL NOT PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. GM KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DEEMS IT NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A FATALITY BEFORE PONTIAC/GM TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY? *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. THE STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTED SHAKING AND I WASN'T IN DRIVING MOTION. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING POWER STEERING FAILURE WITH PONITAC G6 2009. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY WON'T THEY DO A RECALL. GM PRODUCED UNSAFE CARS!! BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED ON MY OWN. I SHOULD EXPECT A REFUND WHENEVER GM DECIDES TO DO A RECALL. *TR

I NOTICED I HAD A LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT OUT AROUND CHRISTMAS BUT DIDN'T GET AROUND TO REPLACING IT UNTIL 1/19/15. ONCE IT WAS REPLACED, IT WAS AGAIN NOT WORKING WITHIN LESS THAN 24 HRS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. I RETURNED IT TO THE SHOP, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE HEADLIGHT HARNESS AROUND THE NEW BULB HAD MELTED. I AM NOW AWAITING PARTS TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH GM CARS OF THAT YEAR, AND THAT THEY TEND TO KEEP BLOWING BULBS AND NEEDING HARNESS REPLACEMENTS. *TR

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON AND THE CHIMES SOUNDED. I NOW ONLY HAVE MANUAL STEERING AND IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL(S) OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT MINE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM NEW SAID MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED FOR THIS DEFECT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT. *TR
