STEERING
POWER STEERING RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND CITY STREETS, MAY BEGIN TO WORK A SHORT TIME LATER OR IT MAY TAKE DAYS FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. THIS STARTED ROUGHLY ONE WEEK AGO. I HAVE REVIEWED RECALLS AND SEEN IT ONLY GOES TO 2009 MODELS. I REVIEWED COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND NUMEROUS 2010 OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING
ELECTRONIC STEERING SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING MAKING STEERING IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IT DOES NOT SHOW A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT'S HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW, THE LAST TIME IT FORCED ME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING HIGH TRAFFIC. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER, THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT. HE SAID IT HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT. IT WILL BE UP TO ME TO TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIR WHICH WILL COST OVER $1500

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 54 THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT DISPLAYING A SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING CODE. THE CAR CANT NOT BE STEERED AT THAT SPEED (55MPH) AROUND CURVES, THERE IS A RECALL UP TO 2009 FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY NOT THE 2010? OBVIOUSLY SEVERAL OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. IT WENT OUT ON A CURVE ON ME YESTERDAY AND COULDN'T STEER THE CAR. ALMOST KILLED MY SON AND I. WE MISSED AN ONCOMING TRUCK BY INCHES AND IF HE WOULD NOT OF SWERVED AROUND US WE WOULD BE DEAD. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND I DONT HAVE THE $$. I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A RELIABLE VEHICLE WITH MY 2010 PONTIAC G6. GUESS I WAS WRONG. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE G6. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS TO WHY IT ISN'T. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. WE PUT OUR MONEY INTO THESE VEHICLES THINKING ITS RELIABLE. WHY HASN'T GM BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? IS IT GOING TO TAKE DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE TO GET A RECALL ON IT??

STEERING
SINCE 2014, I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING LOSS ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE, WHICH INCLUDES THE MILEAGE AS WELL AS THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY AND WARNING LIGHTS. THE DISPLAY WILL SAY SERVICE WAS SERVICE TRACTION POWER STEERING. HISTORICALLY, THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED, MANY TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. THE ERROR USUALLY CLEARS AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING. TODAY, IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO GM DEALERSHIPS IN THE PAST, BUT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT USE MY VIDEO TO HELP THEM DIAGNOSE. I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER ISN'T STORING A CODE SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. AFTER CONTACTING GM AGAIN TODAY, I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX, BUT ONLY IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN DIAGNOSE. I'M FRUSTRATED. I HAVE MORE THAN DONE MY PART. I HAVE A BABY THAT I PUT AT RISK EVERYTIME I PUT HER IN THE CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY CAN'T THEY USE MY VIDEOS, YES MULTIPLE VIDEOS FROM DIFFERENT DAYS, WHEN THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM? I DO NOT HAVE VIDEO FROM TODAY BECAUSE I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING?

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT, GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR JUST SITTING STILL. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE LIKE CRAZY. IT WILL STAY OUT UNTIL YOU GET PULLED OFF OR STOP TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THESE VEHICLES HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THERE ISN'T ANY PLACE TO ADD POWER STEERING. IT'S A FAULT. I HAVE OWNED 2 G6 AND THEY HAVE BOTH HAD AN ISSUE, I HAD AN '09 AND NOW HAVE A '07 BOTH WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE. IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, TO YOURSELF AND FELLOW DRIVERS.

SEAT BELTS, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POWER STEERING. WHEN I START THE CAR, IT ONLY WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO TURN HE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR 3-4 TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. IF IT GOES OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING, I COULD EASILY GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. MY SEAT BELT SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. IT BEEPS AND DINGS AT ME WHILE I'M DRIVING, VERY DISTRACTING...MAKES ME JUMP WHEN I'M CONCENTRATING ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HEADLIGHT 3-4 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. THE HARNESS WAS ALL MELTED WHEN THE MECHANIC GOT IT OUT. NOT ONLY IS IT ILLEGAL FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT ALL LIGHTS WORKING BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. ALSO, I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS...THAT THEY MAY NOT LIGHT WHILE BRAKING, OR ILLUMINATE WHILE I'M NOT BRAKING. IT SAID NOT TO TAKE IT TO BE FIXED IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN POSSIBLY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE REAR ENDS ME?
