STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILURE, CAUSES STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE ON ITS OWN, AND CAN CREATE AN UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE CONTROL WITHIN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC, AND IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY, AND GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER CARS SUCH AS THE PONTIAC G5 OF WHICH IS HAS ISSUED A RECALL. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY RECALL. TO CORRECT THE DEFECT, THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON THE POWER STEERING REPLACED WHICH INVOLVES REMOVING THE STEERING COLUMN AND TOTAL APPROXIMATELY $400 IN LABOR PLUS THE $300 PART. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, AS I HAVE SEEN ON A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. GM APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT IS WAITING TO BE FORCED TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAD TO BE WORKED ON WHEN IT ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS AND HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED DOWN. THE WAY THE ROTOR WAS GROOVED IN 2 SPOTS AND MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE REST OF THE SURFACE WAS RUSTY. IT WAS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 19,000 MILES ON IT. I EVEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR. VERY HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER SEEING THE ROTORS WHEN I TOOK THEM OFF. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL 4 DOOR 2.4L. AT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES I STARTED GETTING BRAKE PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED THE BRAKES TURNED AND GRINNED. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DO THAT BECAUSE OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND WHEN THEY GOT THEIRS TURNED AND GRINNED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OCCURRED THEREAFTER. NOW (@24,000) I HAVE WARPED BRAKES, WORN OUT PADS, AND A DEFECTIVE WORN OUT I-SHAFT(STEERING ROD). I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE ROTORS IN THE REAR, REPLACED ALL PADS AND GRINNED AND TURNED THE REST OF THE ROTORS. THEY CLAIMED MY CAR WAS FIXED BUT THE SECOND I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME WARPING NOISE WAS APPARENT COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I WAS STILL HEARING THE CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY AMERICANS AROUND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BRAKES AND I-SHAFT. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE LAST WEEK AT ONE POINT WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. I KEPT HITTING IT AND FINALLY IT GAVE IN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND PONTIAC/GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY GET THE SAME PROBLEMS TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH! VIEW WEBSITE TO VIEW CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.(HTTP://M.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/PONTIAC-G6/TG830THJSJTP9BL0T) PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT..THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE TO THIS PROBLEM. LET'S ENFORCE GM TO RECALL THIS MODEL AND CAR SO MANY AMERICANS CAN STOP DISHING OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ONCE FIXED! THANK YOU *TR

STEERING
I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 4 CYLINDER ON OCT 26 2010. THE STEERING WAS REPLACED AFTER WE USED WHAT LITTLE WE HAD IN SAVINGS. BELIEVING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED I DROVE IT 15 MILES INTO TOWN AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP AGAIN. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND IT HAS SAT IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS. WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN WE LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEIR G6 CARS. SURELY THIS IS A RECALL. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2006 PONITAC G6 4 DOOR SEDAN. THE CAR HAS 45,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT 44,024 MILES I HAD TO HAVE A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. NOW AT 45,500 MILES I DISCOVER THAT SINCE THE FULL ALIGNMENT BOTH OF THE SWAY BAR LINKS HAVE GONE BAD. THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND THE CAR SWAYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING THROUGH CORNERS OR IN A STRONG SIDE WIND. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 32,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND AT 34,000 MILES WHILE ON VACATION I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ALONG WITH THE FRONT BRAKES WITH A TOTAL BILL BY THE CHEVY DEALER OVER $600.00. I ALSO HAVE ONE OF THE CARS THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING GETTING HARD TO TURN AND THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER ABOUT MY CONCERNS AND TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY PROBLEMS WERE THE RESULTS OF THE BAD ROADS WERE I LIVE. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT MY 1993 CORVETTE WITH 110,000 MILES ON THE SAME ROADS AS MY PONTIAC DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE SUSPENSION. *TR

STEERING
ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT. I NOTICED SLIGHT PROBLEMS WITH TURNING IN THE PAST BUT NOW THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE PROBLEM ARISES. I HAVE LITERALLY FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL G6S. WHY DOESN'T GM DO SOMETHING AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR DRIVERS. I GUESS THEY ARE GOING TO SIT BACK AND NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY HAVE A FEW FATALITIES. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR JOB WHEN ITS' APPARENTLY A DEFECT IN THE G6 MODELS WITH ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. ITS FUNNY HOW THEY WENT BACK TO THE TRADITIONAL HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP IN THE 2007 MODELS. I WONDER WHY? *TR

STRUCTURE, STEERING
POWER STEERING WENT OUT DURING BLIZZARD-LIKE CONDITIONS. I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. SINCE THEN, INTERMITTENT TIMES OF POWER STEERING LOCKING UP. THEN, IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010, CAR BEGAN RATTLING, THUMPING, HAVING A MIND OF ITS OWN. SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE. POWER STEERING NOTICE AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON PERMANENTLY NOW. I HAVE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN AND HAD TO PREPARE THEM FOR THIS BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD ALL OF THIS WORK. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 7 TIMES (IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES IN 2008 FROM MAY-SEPT). THEY HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER THE CALIPERS BECAUSE LIKE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING, THE CALIPERS ON A G6 ARE THE ONLY CAR THAT IS "DONE THIS WAY." THE STEERING FAILURE IS NOW TAKING A TOLL ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FLOODING ON THE FLOOR BOARDS OF THE CAR IN THE BACKSEAT AND TRUNK BUT NEVER MADE A CONNECTION UNTIL READING ALL 857 COMPLAINTS THOROUGHLY ON ONE WEBSITE AND 153 ON ANOTHER. I HAVE CONTACTED AND AM AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM A LAWYER. I AM ALSO CONTACTING THE COMPANY OUR CAR IS FINANCED THROUGH FOR SOME KIND OF RECOURSE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT BOTH GM AND PONTIAC. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GET THE CAR FIXED BUT I WILL FIGHT TO GET REIMBURSED OR SOMEHOW GET OUT OF THE REMAINDER OF THIS LOAN WITHOUT MY HUSBAND'S CREDIT BEING IMPACTED. I HAVE TO USE MY CAR FOR WORK. I HAD TO SWITCH JOBS SO I WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO TRANSPORT CLIENTS. I AM IN FEAR FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THAT? IS ANYTHING IN THE WORKS FOR A RECALL? SO FAR, I HAVE ENDURED ALL OF THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: INCREASED INSURANCE PREMIUMS, ACCIDENTS, TICKETS FOR FAILURE TO CONTROL AND REPAIRS. BECAUSE THE STEERING PROBLEM IS SEVERE, I HAVE TO FIND THE MONEY NEXT WEEK OR PARK THE CAR WHILE CONTINUING TO PAY THE MONTHLY CAR PAYMENT. *TR

STEERING
I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 (BOUGHT AS NEW IN JULY 2007). THE STEERING COLUMN IS MAKING VERY LOAD CLUNKING NOISES WHEN TURNED AT A STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING. I AM ALSO DISAPPOINTED (TO PUT IT MILDLY) THAT DESPITE THIS PROBLEM BEING VERY COMMON AMONG OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAVING READ 100'S OF THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE STEERING BOX PROBLEM. I KNOW THE US GOVERNMENT (AKA THE TAXPAYER!) OWNS GM VIA BAILOUT AND I'M SURE THEY DON'T WANT THE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY OF THE AUTO-MAKER HAVING TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW, BUT YOU ARE DEALING WITH LIVES HERE. IF THERE ARE FATALITIES DUE TO NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, DO YOU THINK THAT PUBLICITY WILL BE ANY LESS SEVERE (ASSUMING IT EVER GETS REPORTED). PLEASE, FORCE GM TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR
