STEERING
WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN THAN ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL ON IT IT WAS THE TORQUE SENSOR AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT PONTIAC. I DID AND THEY SAID THAT MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER WASN'T LISTED AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROBABLY A DEFECT THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND IT COST $358.00 TO FIX. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS SHORTING OUT AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM GOING OUT. WE REPLACED FUSES FOR REAR RUNNING LIGHTS 4 TIMES. I WAS PULLED OVER BY LOCAL POLICE AND HAD TO BE PICKED UP TO GET HOME, LEAVING THE CAR AT POLICE STATION UNTIL I COULD DRIVE SAFELY IN DAYLIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULB 3 TIMES. THE LOW BEAM LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY WORK AT TIMES. NOW, AGAIN IT IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. I HAVE READ EXCESSIVE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH 2009 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LOW BEAM LAMP PASSENGER SIDE OUT. NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER I. BOUGHT A NEW SYLVANIA BULB. TWO WEEKS LATER OUT AGAIN. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH G6; GM & MORE THAN LIKELY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX IMMEDIATELY. I JUST BOUGHT CAR FROM DEALER & ON SSDI; THEREFORE, HAVE NO MONEY TO EVEN PURCHASE ANOTHER BULB LET ALONE HOUSING, CONNECTOR STUFF ETC.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUR OF VEHICLES; SEE CARFAXS ON THIS MODEL. ALTHOUGH MY CARFAX WAS CLEAN I NOW THINK THIS IS WHY CAR SOLD BY OLD OWNER. *TR
