06 PONTIAC G6- LOUD CLUNKING IN FRONT END. POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED AT 35,200 MILES. CAR HAS HAD NOISE SINCE PURCHASED WITH 15,000MI. CAR STILL HAS STRANGE STEERING, LOOSE WOBBLY FEEL. CAR ALSO HAS EXTREME TORQUE STEERING WHEN ACCELERATING HARD, PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT. CAR HAS HAD WARPED ROTORS SINCE 20,000MI. I REPLACED ALL ROTORS AND PADS WITH NEW AT 35,000MI.

STEERING
UNDER GOOD, DRY ROAD CONDITIONS ON A FREEWAY, A VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE MOVING INTO MY LANE AND COULD HAVE HIT ME. I STARTED TO BRAKE TO BACK OFF AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT OF MY LANE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED 4 TO 6 TIMES BEFORE I REGAINED CONTROL. THERE WAS NO COLLISION BECAUSE I REGAINED CONTROL AND OTHER DRIVERS BACKED OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR TECHNICIAN REPLICATED THE FISHTAILING. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSON SAID THAT THE COMBINATION OF THE G6 SUSPENSION, STRUTS, WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION, AND SWEPT UP DESIGN RESULTED IN THE G6 FRONT DIPPING DOWN WHEN BRAKED, LIFTING THE REAR AND LOCKING THE BRAKES. GM AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE BRAKES AND STEERING CHECKED OUT AS SATISFACTORY. THE DEALERSHIP WHICH CHECKED THE CAR OUT BOUGHT THE CAR BACK FOR $3633 LESS THAN I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS BEFORE. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE THE BASIC VEHICLE DESIGN IS UNSAFE IF FISHTAILING OCCURS WITH A COMMON EVASIVE MANEUVER UNDER GOOD WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
I HAD THE TIRES OF MY PONTIAC G6 ROTATED AND DISCOVERED THAT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THE LEFT REAR OUTBOARD IS NEARLY METAL ON METAL. IT HAS WORN IN SUCH A PATTERN THAT CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED BY USE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 22,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC FEELS IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN EITHER THE CALIBERS OR THE ROTOR. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR G6 VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. APPARENTLY, PONTIAC IS FIGHTING WARRANTY CLAIMS AND REFUSING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 06 PONTIAC G6 W/ 20K MILES. AT 4K MILES IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CD PLAYER PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS. 3 WEEKS AGO WE WENT TO USE THE VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND BATT. FOUND TO BE BAD. LAST MONDAY 29TH WE FOUND THE BATTERY TO BE DEAD AGAIN SO IT WAS TOWED BACK TO TE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN BATTERY WAS BAD AND REPLACED. THEN WE HAD BEEN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL RANGE, MILEAGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT. YOU WOULD BE DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE WOULD SAY YOU HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT AND 39 MILES TO EMPTY. YOU DRIVE A MILE AND THE GAUGE IS ON EMPTY AND IT SAYS LOW FUEL!!! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS " NO PROBLEM FOUND, WORKING AS MANF. BUILT" THEN IT WOULD SAY YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF MILES TO EMPTY THEN THE NUMBER WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID. " NO PROBLEM FOUND, WORKING AS MANF. BUILT". I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SAID 206 MILES TO EMPTY, I DROVE A HALF MILE AND IT SAID 180 MILES TO EMPTY. THEN DROVE A QUARTER MILE AND IT SAID 193 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS WAS UNDER NORMAL SPEEDS AND ACCELERATION. MY DEALERSHIP FINALLY REFUSED TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO SAID "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" SO I DROPPED IT OFF TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. COME BACK 15 HOURS LATER AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN. I PICKED IT UP ONCE AGAIN AND THE FUEL MILEAGE SAID 142 I DROVE A HALF MILE AND IT WENT TO 130 I DROVE A QUARTER MILE AND IT SAID 126 MILES AND THEN I DROVE 700 FEET AND IT SAID 116 MILES. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I STOPPED I HAD 131 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY DAY SINCE MONDAY THE 29TH. *TR

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
RECENTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING MY POWER STEERING WILL DISABLE ITSELF AND THEN I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT. THE THING THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT WEATHER IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN NORTHERN OHIO AND WHAT IF I AM DRIVING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING DISABLES. I AM ASSUMING THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME SORT OF ACCIDENT AND OR INJURY. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ELECTRONICALLY POWER STEERING ON THE PONTIAC G6 AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN AN INVESTIGATION OPENED. CAN YOU PLEASE UPDATE ME ON THE STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION AND FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH PONTIAC ON MY BEHALF. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY PROVIDE. *TR

STRUCTURE, SEAT BELTS:FRONT, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST LEAK WAS THE XM ANTENNA. WATER CAME IN THROUGH ROOF CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS. SECOND LEAK WAS FROM THE SUNROOF WATER ENTERED THE CABIN THROUGH THE SAME PLACE. DEALER REPAIRED SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE. THIRD LEAK WAS THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE. DEALER REPAIRED THE OTHER SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE. THE WATER ENTER THE CABIN AND RAN ON THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT. THIS HAPPENED IN THE WINTER AND THE SEAT BELT FROZE SOLID IN THE RETRACTION REEL. AT THE SAME TIME THE WATER ALSO DAMAGED THE AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED THE AN AIRBAG FAILURE. THE FORTH LEAK SOAKED BOTH SEAT BELTS. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP EXTENDED THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES PER A SERVICE BULLETIN. NOW THERE ARE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. THE HEADS LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THEN RESTARTED. THE TURN SIGNALS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS, AND HEATER CONTROL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. OF COURSE THEY WORKED FINE WHILE THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, STEERING:COLUMN, EQUIPMENT
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED PONTIAC G6 (2006) SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN SIX MONTHS THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN I WOULD BRAKE AT HIGH SPEEDS. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THEY SAID THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RE-MACHINED AND THAT THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, 10,000 MILES LATER THE WHEEL IS SHAKING AGAIN AND I AM IN FEAR OF THE SAME PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THE WHEEL HAS BEEN MAKING CLICKING/BUMPING NOISE WHEN IT IS TURNED AND A CREAKING TENSION NOISE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ROTORS BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM RE-MACHINED/TURNED EVERY 10,000 MILES BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO FEEL THE CAR IS NOT SAFE IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN IN A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY BRAKES STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE THE WEEK OF 11-12-07. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER ON 11-21-07..THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS AND RECOMMENDED TO HAVE THE ROTORS RESURFACED. MY CAR FIRST CAME OUT IN 2005. I'VE HAD MY CAR 1.5 YEARS. I DO NOT DRIVE IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. IF ANYTHING I DRIVE LESS THAN WHAT I'VE EVER WITH ANY CAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS LEADING UP TO THIS ONE AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE/FIX ANYTHING WITH THE BRAKES. I HAD MY BRAKES FIXED 11-26-07 AND HAD TO RESURFACE THE BACK ROTORS DOWN TO A 1,000. THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE THE FRONT ROTORS AS WELL. I AM VERY SHOCKED THAT I HAD TO FIX THE BRAKES THIS SOON! *TR

MY CAR IS NEW, WHY AM I REPLACING A STEERING GEAR ON A CAR WITH LESS MILES ON IT? ALSO, AFTER RESEARCHING ON LINE, I NOTICE THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. *TR

STEERING, STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 PONTIAC G6 GT: WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, WE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR A LEAKING PANORAMIC ROOF. THE SECOND TIME IT LEAKED, THE DASH SHORTED OUT. THEN AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES WE STARTED HEARING POPPING NOISES WHEN STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. AT AROUND 42,000 MILES THE POPPING NOISES GOT SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. IT WAS AT THIS POINT, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THE MAN AT THE SERVICE DESK SEEMED TO KNOW RIGHT AWAY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WITHOUT EVEN DIAGNOSING IT. HE TOLD US THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN A LOT OF G6S. I ASKED HIM IF IT WAS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND HE SAID NO. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $550 TO FIX IT AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE ON ME AS I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ON MILEAGE. AFTER I RETURNED HOME I DECIDED TO DO SOME SURFING ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING G6 STEERING ISSUES. I FOUND PAGE AFTER PAGE OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR STEERING ISSUES. IN FACT, I NOTICED THAT THE NHTSA WAS EVEN INVESTIGATING GM FOR G6 POWER STEERING FAILURE AFFECTING SOME 176K VEHICLES. FRANKLY, THIS SCARED ME TO DEATH! SO MUCH SO, THAT THE VERY NEXT DAY I WENT DOWN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TRADED IN THE G6 FOR A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (5-STAR RATING). I TOOK IT IN THE SHORTS ON THE TRADE-IN, BUT I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM TO GET RID OF THIS NIGHTMARE! PARTING QUESTION: SINCE WHEN IS ?POWER STEERING FAILURE? NOT WORTHY OF A RECALL. SHAME ON GM! *TR

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
I WAS DRIVING AND THE SERVICE VEHICLE (NOT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) CAME ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING A CURVY ROAD WITH TRAFFIC. I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING INTO A VEHICLE TO VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I PARKED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED TO FIND THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I CONTINUED HOME AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE BELTS WERE INSPECTED AND THEY ARE FINE. THERE IS ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE AND FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT GM SAYS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT TO ME!!! *TR

STEERING
THERE IS A STEERING-RELATED PROBLEM WITH MY PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. IT HAS A CLUNK OR SNAP UPON BACKING OUT OF PARKING-SPACES AND UPON MAKING TURNS FROM A DEAD-STOP. IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AM WORRIED THE STEERING-BOX IS BAD, AS THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ON A FAMILY 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE BOX-ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHY AGAIN TWO YEARS LATER ON A NEWER CAR. *TR

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THIS COMPLAINT IS PERTAINING TO A 2006 PONTIAC G6. SINCE JULY 2006 I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE PARALLEL PARKING. THIS OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES A WEEK. I DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS LOSS OF POWER STEERING ANY OTHER TIME EXCEPT WHEN PARALLEL PARKING. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE YOU CAN ONLY PARALLEL PARK, SO THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STUCK PARTIALLY IN SPACES AND PARTIALLY ON THE STREET, NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER THAT SOLD THE CAR, AND REPORTED THAT THEY CAN LOOK TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, HOWEVER, THE COST IS DEPENDENT UPON THE WARRANTY. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CAR HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO START. THEN I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT A STOPLIGHT STOPPED WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REAL TIGHT THEN THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON THE RADIO. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AFTER THAT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS A FUSE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE BEFORE FOR A GRINDING IN THE STEERING WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD BUT THEY CLAIM EVERYTHING WAS FINE. *TR
