STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENT VERY HARD UP SHIFTS (INCLUDING CHANGES FROM PARK-DRIVE ETC), CRUISE FLYS OFF AND STOPS WORKING WHILE GOING DOWN ROAD, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND FLICKERS RANDOMLY, CAR FLASHES "POWER STEERING" ON RADIO PANEL AND "ERROR" ON ODOMETER READ, HARD TURNING, CAR LOSES POWER AS IT REVS TO REALIZE IT NEEDS TO SHIFT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) INITIALLY, RESTARTING CAR WOULD HELP FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT. GM DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THOUGHT IT WAS LOOSE WIRING. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO TRACE THE COMMUNICATION ERRORS THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY GAVE IT BACK WITH NO FIX OR ANSWERS. MAJOR ISSUE CONSIDERING THE CAR HAS ONLY 36500 MILES TO DATE WITH AN ISSUE CLEARLY OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH AS WELL. THE INCONSISTENT ISSUE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A RECENT CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

ALSO HAS A PROBLEM A STRONG SMELL IF GAS AFTER THE CAR IS SHUTOFF AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT HAS A CRACK IN THE LINES THAT RUN ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND THE SMELL IS FROM GAS LEAKING OUT OF THE CRACK AN SPRAYING THE TOP IF THE TANK. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2006 PONTIAC G6. *TR

STEERING
THE PROBLEM INITIALLY STARTED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED JUMPING RADICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL IT BETTER WHEN I GOT UP TO SPEED. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE SLOWER SPEEDS ARE THE HARDEST TO CONTROL. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THIS CONDITION PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
