STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
STARTING IN 09 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I'VE HAD PROBLEMS AND STILL TO THE CURRENT DATE (2/26/2013) I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH RESULT IN NEW BRAKES AND TIRES, WHICH AREN'T CHEAP FOR THIS CAR! I RECENTLY WENT IN TODAY TO GET MY CAT CONVERTER REPLACED BECAUSE THE SENSOR WAS MELTING OH AND AGAIN THEY TELL ME I NEED NEW BRAKES(SHOCKER)-THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NONE THE LESS. I'VE SPENT ABOUT 7 GRAND IN REPAIRS ALL FOR THE CAR TO JUST BE "OK" TO DRIVE FOR THE TIME BEING. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED BECAUSE IT'S A PIECE OF JUNK! I HAVE SAVED ALL THE RECEIPTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S ASTRONOMICAL HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO BRING IT IN, LET'S JUST SAY THE "GUYS AT THE SHOP" ALL KNOW ME BY NAME.. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ISSUES. MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS AND A COUPLE OF TIMES THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT. IF I TURN OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR, IT HAS BEEN WORKING, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY GO OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER G6'S. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE WILL COME ACROSS AT INTERMITTENT TIMES. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS SOMETHING(CANT REMEMBER THE EXACT PART) WITH THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THIS PART YET. I'M HOPING THAT THEY DO A RECALL ON THE PART LIKE THEY HAVE FOR OTHER VINS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING WHEN I TURN EITHER DIRECTION IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. LOCKS UP NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. FOUND THAT THEY REPLACED THIS FOR THE 05,06, 08 YEARS BUT NOT 07? REALLY? APPARENTLY IT IS STILL A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED BY PONTIAC. I VIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND PONTIAC DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2007. NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. MUST REPLACE OR DON'T DRIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER MAKES OF CARS BEFORE AND THEY HAVE REPAIRED THEM IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THIS IS MY FIRST NEW PONTIAC THAT THEY REFUSE TO RECALL. NEXT NEW CAR WILL NOT BE PONTIAC. SPREAD THE WORD, DON'T BUY A USED PONTIAC G6. MINE WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, AIR BAGS, STEERING
UPON THE PURCHASE OF A BRAND NEW PONTIAC G6 IN 2008, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM ABOUT THE 5000 MILE MARK. IT BEGAN WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO OFF AND COME ON WHILE DRIVING. A MONTH LATER STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO KNOCK WHEN MAKING TURNS, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REGREASED THE SHAFT AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THE NOISE. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL NOT HURT ANYTHING AND WILL NOT REGREASE IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL HEAD LAMPS, ONCE ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS AND WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE THEY MELT. THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 AND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE; IT LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT JUST MAGICALLY FIXES ITSELF. I HAD TROUBLE PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK IN JANUARY 2013 AND MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I LEFT IT IN FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CAME BACK OUT. YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2013 THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON. WE HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NONE OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT NOT EVEN A DENT ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE EITHER. MAYBE THEY ARE JUST NOT GETTING TO ME? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED NOTICING A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER A WHILE THE SMELL BECAME STRONGER AND WE COULD SMELL IT A DAY AFTER WE HAD EVEN DRIVEN THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND IT IS ACTUALLY LEAKING GASOLINE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS CAR RELIGIOUSLY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND OTHER YEAR MODELS. ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH GM THE 2006 G6 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALL 09V-419 WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OCCURS JUST FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM NHTSA THAT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAD/HAS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHILE ACCELERATING AND TURN OFF WHILE BRAKING. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN MY BROTHER WAS FOLLOWING ME AND ASKED WHY I WAS RIDING MY BRAKES. HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE SAW, AND WE FIGURED OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BACKWARD. THE ISSUE CONTINUED, WITH SEEMINGLY NO PATTERN. AT TIMES THEY ILLUMINATED CORRECTLY AND AT OTHERS, NOT. I TESTED THE LIGHTS OFTEN AND SPEED ALSO DID NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS CHARGED $162.90 FOR A NEW BRAKE SWITCH THAT WAS NOT NEEDED. UPON FINDING THE ISSUE STILL IN EXISTENCE, I CONTACTED THE SHOP TO REQUEST A REFUND, WHICH I WAS ULTIMATELY DENIED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE WITH BRAKE LIGHTS, EVEN THOUGH THEY WITNESSED IT THEMSELVES WHILE MY CAR WAS THERE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. UPON FINDING NO ONE WHO SEEMED TO HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, I FOUND A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE OF A DEMONSTRATION TO FIX THE ISSUE, HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=N7RA7MC_TLO. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FRIEND WHO FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE VIDEO. MY BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING OK AT THIS POINT, BUT AS THE MAN IN THE VIDEO POINTS OUT, THE FIX MAY ONLY LAST FOR 8 OR SO MONTHS. PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE ?FIXING? MY BRAKE LIGHTS, I HAVE SEEN TWO G6?S ON THE ROAD WITH THIS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, OF WHICH THE DRIVERS MAY OR MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN. MY DAILY COMMUTE OFTEN INVOLVES TRAFFIC BACKUPS, AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE, NOR WOULD I WANT ANYONE BEHIND ME UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT I AM BRAKING. I LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING NHTSA REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, AND HOPE TO GET A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR AN HOUR AND WENT OUT. IT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR A FEW DAYS, AND CONTINUED TO BE INTERMITTENT. NOW THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" MASSAGE IS BEING DISPLAYED. THE CARS LISTED IN THIS RECALL ARE 2006 PONTIAC G6 64100131 - 64146959 ( THAT'S THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN). OUR CAR IS IN THE 64200000'S. I BE-LEAVE THIS CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHERS DUE TO THE FACT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THIS RECALL NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. ALSO NO NOTICES WERE SENT TO US ON ANY OF THE RECALLS. GM IS REALLY LACKING IN CUSTOMER SAFETY AND CARE. WE ARE TAKING IT IN TO A GM DEALER TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 PONTIAC G6, ONE OF WHICH I HAVE CONTACTED GM BUT AM UNABLE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT A DEALER TO THEN BE REIMBURSED, WHICH IS FOR THE ACTUATOR ON THE REAR DRIVER' SIDE DOOR THAT PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM LOCKING AND UNLOCKING; A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO CHECK THE DOOR EACH TIME I EXIT MY CAR, AS IT BEING LOCKED OR UNLOCKED IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE FOUND MANY POSTS ON WWW.G6OWNERSCLUB.COM WHERE OWNERS SHARE SIMILAR STORIES; ALONG WITH OTHER COSTLY, SAFETY ISSUES I EXPERIENCE. I WILL ALSO NOTE SOME OTHER ISSUES I HAVE REGARDING THE DOME LIGHT AND THE DOOR AJAR ESSAGE. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY DOME LIGHT IN THE OFF OSITION BECAUSE WHEN LEFT ON AUTO, IT DOES NOT DIM AND TURN OFF. ON DAYS I HAVE FORGOTTEN, I FIND MY DOME LIGHTS ON AFTER 12 OR SO HOURS OF NON-USE. IN AN EFFORT TO NOT FORGET AND DRAIN MY BATTERY, I LEAVE IT OFF; THIS LEADS TO MY HAVING TO GET IN AND OUT OF A DARK CAR AT NIGHT AND EARLY IN THE MORNING. ALSO, THE DOOR AJAR MESSAGE DISPLAYS CONSTANTLY AND OFTEN MAKES A BEEPING NOISE IN WARNING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR SENSORS, CAUSING "DOOR AJAR" TO APPEAR. OTHER THAN BEING PURELY ANNOYED, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF A DOOR WERE TO EVER ACTUALLY BE AJAR, I WOULD HAVE NO PREMISE TO PULL OVER AND CHECK. ALSO, THE WARNING NOISE DOES SOUND AT TIMES WHEN THE MESSAGE IS NOT DISPLAYING, WHICH LEADS TO DISTRACTED DRIVING AS I CHECK FOR ISSUES ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THAT ALL PASSENGERS ARE WEARING SEAT BELTS. ALL THREE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES STARTED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ONE ANOTHER IN 2011, SHORTLY AFTER MY LEASE ENDED AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN READING MY CONCERNS. I HAVE ANTICIPATED A DAY FOR A RECALL TO ASSIST THOSE LIKE MYSELF, WHO LIVE ON A LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT ADDRESS ALL OF THESE NON-DEBILITATING, YET UNSAFE G6 ISSUES, OUT-OF-POCKET. *TR

I HAVE REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS ONCE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THEY HAVE JUST BURNED OUT AGAIN. IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE THAT I SHOULD KEEP HAVING TO CHANGE OUT HEADLIGHTS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE DUE TO HOW THE CAR WAS MADE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES A RECALL. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OTHER G6 2206 BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED. ALSO I AM HAVING AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FORCE AND HOPE THAT IS COMES OUT OF PARK. AGAIN G6 2006 WAS RECALLED AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO THOSE VIN NUMBERS. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THAT SAFETY AND FAULTY PIECES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL THAT SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE WERE COVERED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO BESIDES CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY TO HAVE THESE ITEMS FIXED UNDER THE RECALLS THAT WERE ISSUED FOR G6 2006 PONTIACS. THANK YOU *TR

STEERING
I JUST FOUND OUT THE 'STEERING WHEEL TORQUE IMPACT SENSOR' IS DEFECTIVE AND THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I START MY CAR I GET 3 ERRORS BECAUSE OF THIS ONE SENSOR, "POWER STEERING. SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF." I AM ABLE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL THE ELECTRIC SIGNAL SENDS TO THE EPS SYSTEM SO I AM ABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED BACK OFF. BECAUSE THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IT DOESN'T SEND MESSAGE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR AND CAUSES THE POWER STEERING NOT TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN IN PARK THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS BACK AND FORTH BY ITS SELF AND THE JERKING CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. I HAVE NOT GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT YET AND PLAN ON PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP TOMORROW, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE HAVING. IM SURE IF I WOULD HAVE LET IT GO A FEW MORE DAYS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, OR THE CAR WOULD HAVE JERKED SO BADLY IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

AIR BAGS
A SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR 3-7 DAYS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T TURN ON FOR OVER 30 DAYS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PONTIAC/GM DEALER AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME AND THEY COULD NOT TEST IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER ABOUT 6-9 MONTHS LATER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SENSOR BELOW THE FRONT-PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE SENSOR AND SEAT CUSHION COMES AS A ONE UNIT AND BOTH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS AND LABOR WAS ABOUT $1500. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, I REALIZED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD CONSIDER RECALLING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTS HAPPENING AT A RELATIVELY EARLY STAGE OR AT LOW MILEAGE. *TR
