STEERING
TAKATA RECALL WHILE I AM DRIVING MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 IT WILL RANDOMLY DING AT ME SAYING POWER STEERING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I WAS TURNING ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND I ALMOST HAD A WRECK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AGAIN YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2009 G6 FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND PULLED ONTO A VERY BUSY ROAD. AFTER GOING ABOUT 200 FEET, THE ENGINE REVVED, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT "PULLING". OTHER CARS CAME UP BEHIND ME VERY QUICKLY AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR ME TO PULL OVER, AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT HILL AHEAD OF ME. I "PLAYED" WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO TRY TO GET THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION TO CATCH, ALL THE WHILE CARS WERE PRACTICALLY PUSHING ME. THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT I HAD PULED OUT AND WAS JUST DRIVING VERY SLOWLY. THEY STARTED TO HONK THEIR HORNS. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION BUCKED AND BANGED AND I MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL, AND OVER TO A SPOT ALONG SIDE THE ROAD WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. THE COMPUTER HAD PUT UP TWO ERROR CODES OF P0776 (CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 2 STUCK OFF), AND P0700 (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REQUESTED MIL ILLUMINATION). I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS LIKELY WAS A FAILURE OF THE "3, 5, REVERSE PLATE" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND TRANSMISSION. GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND HAS EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS FAILURE FOR 2007 TO 2009 PONTIAC G6'S FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW ON 12/20/09, AND IT HAD 100,160 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED GM (CASE #[XXX]) AND THEY CLAIMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS A CODE OF MH8. THEY SAID ONLY TRANSMISSIONS WITH A BUILD CODE OF MH2, MH4, MH6, AND MY9 ARE COVERED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE IDENTICAL, BUT "MORE THAN LIKELY SOMEONE WAS KILLED WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED IN CARS WITH THOSE CODES, AND PROBABLY THIS WASN'T THE CASE FOR MY CODE". THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THAT MY TRANSMISSION CODE COULD BE COVERED, AND GET REIMBURSED. I DID HAVE THIS FIXED. IT WAS THE 3, 5, REVERSE PLATE AND IT COST ME $2442.38 (SEE ATTACHED). *LN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT. IT WORKS BUT GOES OUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A LITTLE BIT. OR DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. RESTARTING THE CAR IS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE WHEEL ALSO JERKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN STILL. I SEE THIS IS RECALLED FOR A 07 PONTIAC G6 BUT NOT FOR MY VIN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC G6. STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE CAR. IT TAKES A 2ND ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR AS WELL. I'VE SEEN THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OVER THE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE BUT NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2006. SINCE WE'RE LONG PAST ANY WARRANTY, I HAD HOPES OF A RECALL BUT SINCE THERE ISN'T, I'M LOOKING AT OVER $1000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP LINE NOW RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT'S SCARY TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

VEHICLE ONCE A WHILE DOES NOT WANT TO START. STARTER IS CRANKING AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING. THEN YOU LET IT STAND FOR A WHILE AND VEHICLE STARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND DOES IT AGAIN. YESTERDAY IT STALL ON HIGHWAY IT WAS VERY UNSAFE AND AFTER FEW MINUTES RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD AND NO OBD CODES. LOT MORE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM DEALERS ARE NOT ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT.
