STEERING
ON SEVERAL OCCASION I NOTICE THAT IF YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY THE CAR WOULD BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVER ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND A CAR PULLED IN FROM OF ME. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID GETTING HIT, MY CAR BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO DIE. MY SON WAS GOING TO WORK ON 6/3/2014, SOMEONE PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM HE SWERVED TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT AND AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN, AND SPIN, AND SPIN OUT OF CONTROL HE HIT THE WALL SEVERAL TIME BEFORE STOPPING, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE TOTALED. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE CHECK FOR DEFECT BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MY FAULT OR MY SON WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

STEERING
ON JAN 21, 2014 THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND BEEP WENT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF, TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE TURNING THE KEY BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED - FOR A WHILE. THIS TECHNIQUE NO LONGER WORKS. TWO YEARS AGO THE STEERING WENT OUT SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS-I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE STEERING WOULD WORK. WE CHECKED INTO GETTING IT FIXED BUT WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST (WHY NOT??). FOR SOME REASON,BACK THEN, THE PROBLEM JUST STOPPED HAPPENING AND THE STEERING WAS FINE AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST JANUARY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS TRIGGERING THIS PROBLEM BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO COST QUITE A BIT OF MONEY TO FIX. THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE ALREADY LONG LIST OF RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING FIRST BEGAN TO FAIL UPON STARTING THE CAR. IF I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO FAIL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO PAY OVER $800 TO HAVE THE STEERING SENSOR AND POWER STEERING MOTOR REPLACED. EVEN THEN, THE MECHANIC HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING THE NEW SENSOR TO CALIBRATE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AS I WAS COMING AROUND A TURN AT MY HOUSE, I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL IT WAS LIKE MY CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS CLOSE TO HITTING A STOP SIGN AND A HOUSE ON MY STREET. I DID GO UP THE CURB. I LOST POWER STEERING SO MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARDER TO TURN. ONCE I GOT THE CAR STOPPED MY VEHICLE CAME BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY. AT 116,000 MILES I DROVE TO RIPLEY AND PARKED MY CAR AT WORK. WHEN I WENT OUT TO LUNCH MY CAR WOULD START, BUT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE AND ROLL BACKWARDS. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AND SOME WIRES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD BE A DEFECT, BUT IT ONLY HAD 116,000 MILES AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST AT LEAST UNTIL 200,000. *TR

STEERING
REFERENCE TO:NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10594629 JUST LOCKS AND "POWER STEERING" (NO KIDDING!) COMES ON THE RADIO W/CHIME. ALL OR NOTHING. YOU CAN STILL DRIVE WITH MAJOR ARM WORKOUT. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE YOUR DRIVING, WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE CAR AND TURN THE KEY OR EVEN IF YOU LEAVE IT WARMING UP AND COME BACK OUT. RIGHT NOW WITH ME IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERYTIME I TURN THE KEY AND EVEN IF IT STARTS OK IT COULD HAPPEN THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK OR BE FINE ALL DAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
IN EARLY MAY MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE REVERSING IN A PARKING SPOT. I TESTED THE CAR IN DRIVE ALSO AND REALIZED THE IGNITION COULD BE SWITCHED OFF WHILE IN GEAR. I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM TO REPAIR THE FAULTY IGNITION BUT SINCE IT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDED TO THEIR GROWING LIST OF RECALLS, THEY WONT EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT LEAVING THE CAR FOR A $150 INSPECTION. THIS IS ABSURD SINCE THE PART SHOULD TAKE 30 MINUTES TO INSTALL AND COSTS THEM NEXT TO NOTHING. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER VEHICLES NOT UNDER THE RECALL THAT ALSO HAVE THE ISSUE. I AM DISGUSTED WITH GM FOR CONTINUING TO NEGLECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM! I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO AT THIS POINT BUT TO SEEK THE HELP OF AN ATTORNEY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ONCE AGAIN GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2006 PONTIAC G6'S FOR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, AND DIFFICULTIES GETTING THE CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS AND SHUT OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY DISENGAGE AS WELL. ONCE AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? THE SYMPTOMS I'VE EXPERIENCED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. BOTH RECALLS TO BE EXACT. THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS BUT I'M NOT COVERED AND THE GM REPS ARE NO HELP. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
