STEERING
I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD GO TO START THE VEHICLE I WOULD GET SOME WARING LIGHTS SUCH AS "NO POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE ESC" OR SOMETHING TO THAT AFFECT. THERE WOULD BE NO POWER STEERING WHEN I WOULD FIRST TURN ON THE CAR BUT IT I SHUT IT BACK OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT WOULD CLEAR OUT AND I WOULD HAVE POWER STEERING. SHORTLY AFTER THAT STARTED THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MAKE JERKING OR RAPID MOVEMENTS BACK AND FORTH BY ITSELF SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. EVENTUALLY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK! I BEGAN A SEARCH TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THE PONTIAC G6 REPORTED AND I FOUND THAT THERE HAD ACTUALLY BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS BUT WHEN I CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THE PONTIAC G6 2005-2006 AND 2008-2009 MODELS HAD BEEN RECALLED THAT MY 2010 HAD NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR..... EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT FAILED (STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR) ON THE VEHICLES THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.....$503! *JS

STEERING
DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH AND THE STEERING JUST WHEN OFF AND WAS HARD TO STEER. CHECK POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC AND THE ESC OFF INDICATOR CAME ON (THE WARNING CAME AT THE SAME TIME, SO THAT WAS WORTHLESS) AND HAD TO RE-SET BY TURNING THE CAR OFF. IT HAPPENS AGAIN ON 2/23/2015. WHEN IT DID HAPPEN IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I SEE WHERE GM HAS RECALLED UP TO THE YEAR 2009 BUT NOT BEYOND THAT. WHATS UP GM?? I HAVE BEEN A GM OWNER MOST OF MY LIFE, BUT IF GM DOES NOT OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS BETWEEN $800.00 TO $1200.00 GM RECALL IT NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILLED!!!!! *JS

STEERING
FAILED OR FAILING POWER STEERING RECALL REPAIR. POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON LAST EVENING (2/23/2015). VEHICLE RECALL ALERT SENT OUT IN JUNE 2014 WAS REPAIRED BY WESTON ONCE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED SINCE REPAIR UNTIL LAST EVENING ON DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I HAVE HEARD IT IS NOT POSITIVE TO ALERT DEALER AGAIN AS THEY MAY CHARGE UP TO $800-$1000 TO REPLACE AT WORSE CASE SCENARIO THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN.

STEERING
LOSS OF STEERING AND STEERING MESSAGE ON DISPLAY PANEL. HAD VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY GM CERTIFIED GARAGE. GARAGE WAS TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN, BUT EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY (EQUIS) DENIED CLAIM BECAUSE IT WASN'T MALFUNCTIONING WHEN THEY INSPECTED THE CAR. THERE IS A PRIOR RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE ON GM WEBSITE, BUT GM CLAIMS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HUSBAND AND I WERE NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP. IN RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP ASSOCIATED WITH PONTIAC G6'S FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY WE HAVE SMELLED GAS OFF AND ON SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT WHEN EXAMINED BY MECHANIC, NOTHING WAS FOUND. IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE AIR TEX FUEL PUMP USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE 2008 G6'S, THEN WHY WAS THERE NO RECALL ISSUED. I THINK THIS IS A FLAGRANT DISREGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND NEGLIGENCE. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
NOVEMBER 6 2014 I PURCHASED A 2008 PONTIAC G6 I HAD A SCHEDULED VISIT TO REPAIR A CRACKED GAUGE CLUSTER, A SEAT REPAIR AND REPAIR OF MY ADJUSTABLE PEDALS WHILE ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS I NOTICED A HESITATION IN MY TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE WRITER OF THAT HAPPENING AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I WAS GIVEN A 3 MONTH 3000 MILE WARRANTY THAT SAID NOTHING ABOUT WHO WOULD PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. IT WAS IN SERVICE AT LEAST A WEEK. THEY CALL AND SAY IT.S READY AND I PICK IT UP IT DRIVES FINE FOR 8 DAYS AND THE ELECTRONICS STOP WORKING ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON ABS, TRACTION CONTROL THE ODOMETER READ THE WORD ERROR AND MY TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT RIGHT. I DROVE IT RIGHT BACK AND THEY TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. THIS TIME THEY HAVE IT FOR 2 WEEKS ( I HAVE THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE THIS ). THEY FINALLY CALL AND TELL ME IT'S READY I PICK IT UP NO CHARGE AGAIN AND IT DRIVES FINE FOR 4 DAYS.SAME ELECTRONIC PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN.AND NOW IT WON'T START. I HAVE IT TOWED IN THEY HAVE IT FOR ANOTHER 6 DAY. THEY CALL SAY IT'S FIXED I PICK IT UP IT DRIVES FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND IT AGAIN ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON WON'T SHIFT RIGHT TRACTION CONTROL NOT WORKING AND THE ODOMETER READS ERROR AGAIN. THIS TIME I DON'T SHUT IT OFF AND DRIVE IT RIGHT THERE I COULD NOT AFFORD ANOTHER TOW CHARGE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. THEY HAVE IT FOR ANOTHER 10 DAYS. THEY CALL ME TELL ME IT'S FIXED FOR THE 5TH TIME I GO PICK IT UP 6 DAYS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING I BRING IT IN THEY TELL ME IT NEEDS A REBUILD FAR $2357.00 AND BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM I HAVE TO PAY HALF OF THE PRICE. I WAS TOLD BY A SAE CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC THAT MULTIPLE COMPUTER FAILURES MAY HAVE PREMATURELY CAUSE THE INTERNAL HARD PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL IT HAS 60,820 MILES ON IT WELL UNDER GM MILEAGE WARRANTY. CALLED GM THEY SIDE WITH THE DEALER

I STARTED MY CAR AND MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND ON MY STEREO SCREEN IT SAID "SERVICE AIR BAG". THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2014 BUT THEY SAID THEY HAD IT RESET BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. ALSO, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME AT STOP LIGHTS THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND OFF WHILE I AM STOPPED. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS A RECALL ISSUE BUT IT DOESN'T PULL UP FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. THESE ARE ISSUES OUTSIDE OF THE RECALLS THAT I WAS ALREADY FORCED TO DEAL WITH. *TR

STEERING
WE FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO. STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR CAME ON AND WE HAD NO POWER STEERING. WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED. IT WOULD WORK OFF AND ON FOR AWHILE BUT AS OF THE LAST FEW DAYS THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. I CALLED GM. THEY ARE SAYING OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A BUNCH OF CRAP. THE 2007 G6'S WERE ADDED FOR THIS PROBLEM JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE THERE ARE MORE CRASHES OR DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY GM DEALERSHIP GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $600 TO FIX THIS. WE DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR ALL ALONG. I AM BEYOND DONE WITH GM IF THEY DON'T RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR
