ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The electrical harness going to the drivers door doesn't function properly in any way shape or form. My locks blow a fuse every time you hit the button my trunk pop works with my key fob but not the actual button. My passenger window only goes down if you open the door completely but then only goes up with the pass. Switch and my car radio stays on even if I shut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car... Me not being able to get windows down or trunk open in an emergency is extremely dangerous and unsafe in every way and so is the door locks not functioning properly.... I demand a safety recall be issued on the wiring harness immediately....

STEERING
Steering wheel rattle, steering moving back & forth, locks on startup and and audible chime is heard. I believe it has something to do with the original recall repair on the steering. Feels unsafe.

SUSPENSION, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1. Loss of power assisted steering making it hard to control car. But I turn off car and turn back on, it works. 2. Steering column knuckle or u-joints are making a loud clunking noise when turning steering wheel. 3. BCM or Body Control Mudule is either bad or needs cleaning because cruise control nor traction controls work. I checked fuses and they are ok.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Something is draining battery. I have a brand new battery in it and battery was checked out at battery warehouse. I run car and about an hour the car is dead. I had problems with this car since I bought it from Koons in Westminster Md. I even paid for warranty but every time I took it back it didn’t cover it. This happened a lot I got a lemon and they refused to take it back. I put soo much money in this car I could of bought a brand new car. Now I’m stuck with a car that does not want to run again. What can I do about this car? I ran out of money 💰 to fix it. Please help. Thxs

AIR BAGS, STEERING
My car will flash "POWER STEERING" across the stereo notification screen and alarm and the power steering locks up as you drive and makes steering your vehicle impossible and unsafe! This was a recall which was supposedly repaired at Titus Will (dealership) some years prior when the car was previously owned by Kristena Fulton but it is still very much a problem and a HUGE safety risk. I've contacted their location and was yelled at by a female who stated they had repaired it previously and would NOT help me regarding this. This vehicle is dangerous and poses not only a safety risk which could result in serious injury and death should it be driven on a freeway or highway at the time this error occurs. I've taken video of this and am asking for this to be repaired ASAP as I transport my two children and could result in injury to myself and my children.

STEERING
I just cranked my car up and tried to drive it in the only thing I had done was change my battery out and I watched all the forms on how to do repair this but apparently there's been a recall and it's just going to cost the thousands of dollars we could have died

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the rear brake lights stayed on continuously even when the brake pedal was not depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and an unknown switch underneath the dashboard was replaced however, the failure recurred. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I purchased my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder with 40k on the odometer on 5/13/2021. I notice right away it started having problem when i drove it home and it has been almost three weeks now and the problem is intermitten. This issue happens on local road city speed (25mph) and on highway doing highway speed (60mph) intermittently. When this issue occurs the steering wheel shake like crazy and it seems like it wants to pull over to the left or the right (feels like the car wants to drive itself). I would have to put some force to keep the steering wheel straight. The error code would pop up on the radio display stating "power steering". There was a recall for this issue for the electronic power steering assist. The problem is that the recall expired 6/31/2006 and my car is made on 7/2006 so the vin number does not fall in the recall list. The situation is dangerous and this issue need to be address. This recall should extend to all 2005-2010 pontiac g6 with electronic power steering not just pick and choose which year can be on the recall list. This is ridiculous because GM know this problem and they don't care enough to do what they are supposed to do..Obviously I have no dealer warranty since the vehicle is 14 years old so a recall would help since the manufacturer is 110% at fault. GM should included more years on this recall list.. The amount gm dealer wants to fix the problem is ridiculous. Please help.

STEERING
WITHOUT WARNING POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I WAS ONLY BACKING UP DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. VERY DIFFUCULT TO STEER VEHICLE MANUALLY. POWER ASSIST STEERING MODULE, WAS ALREADY REPLACE +/- 5 YEARS AGO. BUT WHEN I RESTART VEHICLE ACTS NORMAL, BUT THEN JUST FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. HESITANT TO DRIVE CAR NOW, DUE TO UNPREDICTABILTY OF STEERING. NO WAY, I WOULD LET ONE ON MY KIDS DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHEN I LOST POWER-ASSISTED STEERING ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER A FULL-STOP AT A STOP SIGN. SUDDENLY, IT REQUIRED A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 14V153000 EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE CONDITION EXPERIENCED WITH MY VEHICLE: "IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE WIRING CONNECTOR FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM H11 HEADLIGHT HAS MELTED AND SHORTED 3 TIMES NOW, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT A DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHHT. VEHICLE WAS USING OEM PART NUMBER HEAD LIGHTS, OF WHICH NEVER BURNT OUT OR FAILED AND ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS THAT IT ROLLED OFF ASSEMBLY WITH. EACH TIME THE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY AN APPROPRIATE HARNESS BY A GM CERTIFIED REPAIR CENTER. I HAVE ONCE NOTICED WHILE USING THE REMOTE START FEATURE THAT THE HEADLIGHT WILL GET REALLY BRIGHT THEN APPEAR TO BURN OUT AS THE VEHICLES ENGINE STARTS. A CONNECTOR WITH SUCH HIGH IMPEDANCE I CONSIDER OUTRIGHT DANGEROUS AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. NOT TO MENTION THE RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING HEADLIGHT.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED MY TURN WAS VERY EASY TO THE LEFT BUT HARD TO TURN TO THE RIGHT. A FEW MILES LATER DOWN THE ROAD I COULD BARELY MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL AND THEN THE MESSAGE POWER STEERING POPPED UP ON MY INFORMATION CENTER AS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO GO OVER A CURB AND INTO A PARKING LOT BECAUSE OF THE MISHAP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND MY STEERING WAS OKAY FOR A WHILE BUT THEN IT WOULD LOCK UP LATER AGAIN. I DID THIS PROCESS TWICE PAYING ATTENTION TO STEERING TO MAKE IT HOME SINCE I WAS ONLY A MILE AND A HALF AWAY.

STEERING
MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GIVES OUT OCCASIONALLY FOR NO REASON. IT HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTE OF MY STARTING MY COMMUTE EACH TIME AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING, MY VEHICLES VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THE SAME MAKE AS MY CAR. THE ISSUE IS FOR SURE MY POWER STEERING BECAUSE I GET A NOTIFICATION ON MY DASH SAYING THAT MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS FAILING. AFTER SHUTTING MY CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON THE ISSUE IT TYPICALLY FIXED BUT THIS IS STILL EXTREMELY CONCERNING BECAUSE IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS.
