EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE STATING I HAD NO TAILLIGHTS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN AND REPLACED. WITHIN ABOUT 3 WEEKS THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN. HAD IT IN TWICE SINCE AND THEY STILL CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. KEEP IT A FEW DAYS AND RESEND THE CAR OUT. I HAVE CHECKED IT OUT AND IT SEEMS THAT WHEN IT BLOWS IT IS IN AUTO MODE AND WHEN AUTO LIGHTS COME ON. THEY SAID NO CONNECTION AND LEAVE IT AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY IF WE LOSE TAILLIGHTS AT NIGHT WE COULD BE REAR ENDED. ALSO I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF HEADLIGHTS. KEEP BLOWING OUT. AND SECOND SET OF TIRES. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT A NEW 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND IT HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. THE STEERING WHEEL STEERS TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. UPON BRAKING THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE OF A NEW CAR. *TR

STEERING
I OWN A USED PONTIAC G6 40THOUSAND MILES,. DURING HEAVY DOWN POURS POWER STEERING GOES, BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON, THEN WITHIN A MINUTE OR 2 THE STEERING KICKS BACK IN. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. I FEE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE WARRANTY FOR ANOTHER 8 MONTHS. ANY SUGGESTIONS. I THINK IT MAY BE THE POWER STEERING BELT SLIPPING! SINCE I AM A WOMAN THEY DISMISS MY COMPLAINT! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION:FRONT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN
WE OWN A 05 PONTIAC G6. THIS VEHICLE HAS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WHEN THE SENSOR IS HAVING ISSUES, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE. MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH IS THEN THE SENSOR CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHT TO WORK IN REVERSE. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS GO OFF, WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, THE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SENSORS REPLACED AND NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THE "FIX" IS THE ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. THIS ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT IS ONLY GOOD FOR A FEW MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A HALF[XXX] "FIX". WE HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL "FORMER" PONTIAC DEALERS ONLY TO HAVE BEEN TOLD WE ARE "OUT OF LUCK". THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, IF YOU DEPRESS YOUR BRAKES AND NO LIGHTS COME ON IT COULD LEAD TO A REAR-END COLLISION.THANKFULLY THIS LAST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS WARNED OF THIS EVENT BY A GAL WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND HIM. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DRINKING. HE WAS TOLD THAT A CHARACTERISTIC OF A DRUNK DRIVER IS THAT THEY "RIDE THEIR BRAKES". GM NEEDS TO GET THIS CORRECTED!! IT IS NOT SAFE. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND WHO DRIVES 50 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK EVERYDAY. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATING TRADING IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE OF THIS AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THE G6. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE WE GOT IT BETWEEN THIS BRAKE ISSUE, A "CLUNKING" NOISE WHEN TURNING (WHICH WE WERE TOLD IS "NOTHING" FROM OUR FORMER PONTIAC DEALERS) AND THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF LEAKING AND NOISE ISSUES, WHICH AS WELL WE WERE TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT. (WE HAD STANDING WATER IN THE VEHICLE W/ THE LEAKS) THIS BRAKE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT!!!! WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CRAPPY SERVICE AND LACK OF CARE IN GETTING THIS VEHICLE RECALLED. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE??? I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ADDRESSING THIS SAME THING. I WOULD IMPLORE NHTSA TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKE ROTORS WARPING AFTER JUST 7,000 MILES, TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY CUT THEM. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED SOONER (12,000 MILES). SHOULD BE A RECALL, BRAKES SHAKE THE FRONT OF THE CAR SO BAD THAT IT PRACTICALLY TEARS THE STEERING WHEEL FROM YOUR HANDS.

STEERING
I OWN A PONITAC G6 THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS INDICATED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN # SB-10183 WHEN CONTACTING GM THEY SAID THEY WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS UNLESS I WANT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY POCKET, IF IT IS THE SAME THEN I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TALK TO GM TO SEE IF THE WILL FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. I REALLY THINK THIS A LOAD OF BS BECAUSE IF THE NHTSA HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS THEN WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FORCING THE GM TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON ALL THE PONTIAC G6. *TR

I SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND RE-STARTED AND THE POWER STEERING BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR THE FAILURE, BUT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 74,000 MI ON IT. RECENTLY, WHEN I MAKE AN EXTREME TURN TOWARD THE RIGHT, THE RADIO BEEPS THREE TIMES AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. I CAN STILL STEER THE HARD BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. TO REPAIR IT, I MUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN '06 G6'S. *TR
