EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2008 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THEN LIGHTS GO OFF MOMENTARILY AND COME BACK ON. OTHER MOTORISTS FOLLOWING CANNOT DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT I AM ACTUALLY BRAKING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. THIS FAILURE HAS YET TO CEASE AND IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AS IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REFUSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH A MANUFACTURE DATE OF AUGUST 2005. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT CONSTANTLY ON THIS VEHICLE(DAILY), REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE, SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS, BACKING-UP,MOVING FORWARD, TURNING, DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (IN THE THOUSANDS) ONLINE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I HAD NO WARRANTY NOTHING COULD BE DONE OTHER THAN PAYING A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL (900-1200). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. I AM CURRENTLY FINANCING THIS CAR AND I THINK IT'S AWFUL THAT THEY ARE STILL SELLING THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE PLEASE HELP US. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2008 PONTIAC G6, BRAKES SQUEAKING AND AFTER IT SITS FOR AWHILE, UPON STARTING OUT, MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED 2-3 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL. THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I BECOME CONCERNED WHEN THE BRAKES ON MY CAR BEGIN TO MAKE NOISES, CAN THIS BE A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC G6 AND EVERYTIME I TURN MY WHEEL THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS COULD BE LINKED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING. I HAVE HEARD SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOST ALL STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE AND FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ALL OVER THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I WAS MAKING A LEFT ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME, SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. UPON MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ALMOST EVERY MORNING WITHOUT FAIL. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN AND I NOTICE THERE'S A "SCRAPING" OR "SCRUBBING" SOUND WHEN I BEGIN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ASAP. I KNOW THEY DON'T WANT A LAWSUIT WHICH COULD RESULT IF THIS ISN'T RESOLVED IF , GOD FORBID, SOMEONE IS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL OR WHERE YOU'RE AT WHEN IT FAILS. THE GOVERNMENT OR GM NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING SOON! *TR

STEERING
MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT PULLS TO THE LEFT WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD IT INSPECTED BY 2 DIFFERENT AUTO MECHANICS, BOTH OF WHOM INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. UPON INSPECTING THIS CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE POWER STEERING IS ENGAGING BY ITSELF AND CAUSING THE STEERING TO TURN LEFT WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT AT THE WHEEL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PONTIAC SHOULD PAY TO REPAIR, AS IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AUTOMOBILE PURCHASED AS NEW. ROTORS NOT VENTED PROPERLY AND WERE REPLACED WITH BRAKE PADS AT 32,200 MILES. INSISTED THAT DEALER/PONTIAC CORPORATE HANDLE UNDER WARRANTY. AT 32,900 MILES CAR STOPPED AT LIGHT AND DID NOT ADVANCE WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED FULL REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE SPRAG "BLEW UP" AND WAS COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. WILL NEVER LEASE OR BUY PONTIAC AGAIN. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE WITH MY 68 YR OLD GRANDMOTHER ON MY PASSENGER SIDE. WE WERE SITTING AT THE LIGHT WAITING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO TURN GREEN WHEN SUDDENLY MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON & MY CAR STATES POWER STEERING LOSS. THEN I REALLY LOST POWER STEERING IN MID TURN. THANKFUL ENOUGH THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS GREEN LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE TURN BECAUSE HAD IT NOT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT MULTIPLE WAY. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE PONTIAC G6 2005 MODEL & I TRULY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED? *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE STEERING RACK FAILED APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS AGO WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN IT FAILED THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER IN ONE DIRECTION, THE RACK WAS REPLACED BY GM. THE RACK HAS FAILED AGAIN AND NOW LITERALLY LOCKS UP TO WHERE YOU CANNOT STEER IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPT. 2007. 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY. THEY WOULD EITHER COME ON AND STAY ON OR BLINK OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN AT LEAST 9 TIMES AND THE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND I'M WORRIED THAT SOMEONE WILL REAR-END US WHILE MY SON AND DAUGHTER ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE'VE CONTACTED GM TWICE NOW AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE. THEY REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER G6 OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL, WHICH THEY APPLIED A LUBRICANT TO THE WIRING; THIS HAS NOT EVEN BEGAN TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. TO ME THIS WAS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE RECALL THAT COULD BE ISSUED AND WAS ACCEPTED FOR SOME REASON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR GM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR PRODUCT THEY PRODUCED? IT'S A NO WONDER WHY MORE CONSUMERS PURCHASE FOREIGN CARS OVER OUR OWN. WE DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SON RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF THIS CAR. THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO MY FAMILY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY B/T 60 - 65 MPH, HEARD A CHIME THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ON A RELATIVELY STRAIGHT RUN OF ROAD AND THERE WERE FEW CARS, SO MY PARTNER WAS ABLE TO DRIFT THE CAR UP ONTO THE GRASS. WE HAD SHUT THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEN THOUGHT IT SAFER TO MOVE UP FURTHER; UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE STEERING RETURNED. WE DROVE HOME ON THE SERVICE ROAD AT 30 MPH EVEN THOUGH THE STEERING FELT BACK TO NORMAL. AS I WRITE, THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF AN ISSUE MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IS HAVING. PEOPLE THAT ARE FOLLOWING ME REPORT THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE SOMETIMES ON WHEN I AM NOT PUSHING THE BRAKES, AND OFF WHEN I AM PUSHING THE BRAKES. I HAVE ALSO HAD INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. I FOUND A RECALL FOR 2005, AND 2006 PONTIAC G6'S WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM (NHTSA ID# 09V036000). I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2007 MODEL AS WELL. *TR
