ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN AFTER NEW BULBS. THIS CAR SEEMS TO HAVE MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH A CHAIN OF EVENTS HAS TURNED INTO STEERING PROBLEMS AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD CLICKING AND FLASHING TO THE RYTHYM OF THE CLICK. WHEN THE DASHBOARD GOES BLACK THE WHEEL WONT TURN AT ALL. I KNOW OF SOMEONE WITH THE SAME CAR WHO HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. EASY TO GET PULLED OVER FOR THAT ONE. CALLED PONTIAC THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. WILL NEVER BUY A PONTIAC AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CARS ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. MY HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT OUT . ITS EXTREMELY HARD JUST TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND ITS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN THE IGNITION, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO LOCK YOUR DOOR SO NO ONE WILL STEAL YOUR CAR WHILE YOUR SLEEPING. AND THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OR WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR IS, WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE MEDAL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MASH WHILE DRIVING EVEN WITH TWO FEET. AND MY MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK REQUIRES ME TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD RECALL WORK DONE TO MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 BEFORE DUE TO MY ELECTRIC SYSTEM FAILING AND THESE ARE ALL OF THE SAME SIGNS OF THE RECALL. AND I WOULDN'T DARE LET MY FAMILY RIDE IN THIS CAR. THANK YOU

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT FROM A SMALL DEALERSHIP, IT HAS HIGH MILEAGE BUT RUNS GOOD. JUST RECENTLY WHEN I START THE CAR THERE IS NO POWER STEERING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART TO ACHIEVE POWER STEERING, SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL RESTARTS TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. I HAVE NOT LOST POWER STEERING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION YET , JUST AT INITIAL START
