STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING HOME GOING 65 MPH DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY ON A CLEAR WARM NIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND I COULDN'T CORRECT IT. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY RESPONDED, I WAS THROWN ACROSS THE HIGHWAY INTO THE DIVIDER CABLES. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT AROUND ANY OF THE SEMI-TRUCKS THAT CAME UP OVER THE SMALL HILL BEHIND ME ONCE I LIMPED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED AND INSURANCE TOTALLED IT OUT WITHOUT ANY TESTING DONE. AFTER READING ON THIS SITE, IT'S SAD TO SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THANK GOD I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.

STEERING
ONCE I START MY VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR APPEARS ON THE RADIO SCREEN AND MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. SOMETIMES IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RE START IT THE WHEEL WILL NOT SHAKE FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND IT WILL DRIVE FINE. I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. MY VEHICLE BECAME HARDER FOR ME TO STEER AND THEN IT GOT EASY FOR ME TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A LOW OR HIGH SPEED AND I AM AFRAID I WILL CRASH MY VEHICLE. MY STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME CONTROLLING IT AND IT LOCKS UP ON ME CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE.

STEERING
WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, THERE IS A CLUNKING COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF TURNING, MOVING OR STATIONARY, AND IN OR OUT OF GEAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS NOT LUBRICATED AS DESCRIBED IN THE GM RECALL AFFECTING SIMILAR VEHICLES.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LOOSE. AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP I NOTICED IT BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN. ALSO I BOUGHT 2 REMOTES ALREADY FOR THE VEHICLE AND NEITHER WOULD WORK OR REGISTER. AND ALSO EVERY TIME I OPEN MY CAR DOOR WITH THE KEY THE ALARM GOES OFF WHICH IS VERY EMBARRASSING AS I HAVE TO SIT THERE UNTIL IT STOPS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP. IT WAS OUT, SO I REPLACED THE BULB IN JUNE 2015. TWO MONTHS LATER, IT WAS OUT AGAIN, SO I BOUGHT A NEW BULB, THINKING THE FIRST WAS PURCHASED DEFECTIVE. I REPLACED THE BULB FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER I NOTICED IT WAS OUT AGAIN. THEN BEGAN SUSPECTING ANOTHER PROBLEM. I SEE GM JUST RECALLED SEVERAL ADDITIONAL MAKES AND MODELS FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE PONTIAC G6 WAS NOT A PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THE G6 IS A PART OF THIS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL.

MY BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEY GO OFF WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS. THEY WILL COME BACK ON ONCE MY FOOT IS ON THE PEDDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS.
