STEERING
THE POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THE POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENTLY ACTING UP, WHEN I WOULD START THE VEHICLE. EVENTUALLY, THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND A MESSAGE OF POWER STEERING WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHEN I START THE CAR AND RUNNING (PARK) , THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC SHOWS ON THE DASH AND LOCKS UP THE STEERING SO I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT HAS LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN BEFORE BEFORE TO. WHENEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO TURN OFF THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC. BUT RECENTLY THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE PARKED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WOULD NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND ON. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2010 MODEL AND ARE GETTING INJURED. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM BEING RECALLED, WHILE ALL OTHER MODELS FROM 2005-2009 HAVE BEEN RECALLED, AND 2010 SEEMS TO BE THE WORSE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC WILL BE ON ON THE DASH AND LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I USED TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE OFF. BUT RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING A LOT MORE OFTEN. I WAS PARKED WITH CAR RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING ESC WOULD STAY ON EVEN AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF. THEN THE NO TRACTION LIGHT APPEARED. ONCE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WAS OFF I WOULD DRIVE MY CAR AND TURN IT OFF BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE ON AGAIN SO I CAN'T STEER MY CAR. THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC HAS EVEN TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND HAD FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF 2010 MODELS, AND SOME HAVE EVEN GOT INTO ACCIDENTS AND INJURED. THE 2010 MODELS DO NOT HAVE RECALLS BUT THE 2005-2009 MODELS DO FOR THE SAME REASONS. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER AND NOTIFY ALL WHO HAVE 2010 MODELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON DEC 11,2019 AND I HEARD A LOAD POP THAT CAME FROM UNDER MY DASH. SMOKE STARTED TO FILL MY CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAD NOTICED ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTING AND COMPONENTS HAD STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY AND WHEN I OPEN MY TRUNK I NOTICED THE FUSE BOX LOCATED IN THE TRUCK AND COMPLETELY BURNER UP. ALSO THE WIRES THAT ARE LOCATED UNDER THE DASH HAS ALSO CAUGHT FIRE AND THAT IS WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR AND BOTH CASES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDANS. THE FIRST CASE WAS WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I ALMOST WRECKED TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND I WANT THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED AT. I HAVE SPOKE TO AN ATTORNEY AND HE ADVISED ME TO FILL OUT A REPORT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S NOT FAIR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BUY A CAR AND EXPECT TO BE SAFE KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE PUT CHEAP PARTS AND FAULTY WIRING IN IT. SOMETHING SERIOUS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND MY CAR COULD HAVE EASY FOUGHT FIRE. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE DAMAGE WILL BE ABOUT $1000-$1200 DOLLARS AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM COST ME OVER $600. I WANT A REIMBURSEMENT AND I WANT MY CAR FIXED. THERE IS NO REASON WHY GM CAN'T FIX IT FOR FREE. IT'S CURRENTLY SITTING AT MY MECHANICS BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. PLEASE TAKE TIME AND LOOK INTO THIS MATTER I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THE OTHER CARS WERE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS WAS CORRECTED TEMPORARILY AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT. I HAD AT LEAST A DOZEN EPISODES OF THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.THIS WOULD OCCUR AT TIMES WHEN FIRST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND AFTER I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT WHILE AT IDLE. I AM CONCERNED OF THIS PREVENTING ME FROM STEERING IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. I AM TRYING TO USE THIS CAR AS LEAST AS POSSIBLE UNTIL IT IS CORRECTED.
