STEERING
I DRIVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6. I PURCHASED IT NEW. I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD NOISES THAT SEEMED TO COME FROM MY STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING FROM LOTS OF PEOPLE EVEN MECHANICS. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN AT 40,000 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE I ASK FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE. THEY COME BACK SAYING I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKES. I STATED IT WASN'T MY BRAKES. NOW AT 50,000 MILES AND COMING HOME FROM VACATION IN MYRTLE BEACH I NOTICE MY STEERING NOT COOPERATING. SO GOING 80MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE I BEGIN WORRYING. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND AFTER AN HOUR OF INVESTIGATION $88 FROM THE MECHANIC THEY DECIDED MY POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDS REPLACING AT $467. NOW I FIND ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TERM PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6S. I AM STILL DRIVING MY CAR. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?? 2 WEEK WAIT ON REPLACEMENT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED. DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL CAUSES LIGHTS TO FIRST GO DIM THEN ACTIVATE. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES EVERY TIME BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON SO CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING GETS REALLY STIFF AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN STOPPED THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS ON ITS OWN AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES WITHOUT WARNING BUT IS BECOMING MORE CONSISTENT NOW. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS (THANKFULLY) HOWEVER; WITHIN THE PAST 4 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY STEERING MODULE AND JUST LAST WEEK MY BALL JOINT AND CONTROL ARM. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE AND ARE VERY NECESSARY TO FIX RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL AT TIMES AND WHEN I SEEM TO TURN IT MAKES AN ODD NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT AT TIMES I STILL FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT SCARES ME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TALKED TO THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THIS TO ME ISN'T RIGHT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY STEERING SEEMING TO GO BAD OFTEN. *TR

STEERING
MY 2006 G6 HAS HAD ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING SINCE I GOT IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT 2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS DURING THE SUMMER AND I'D HAD THE CAR TWO WEEK AND POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS THE DASH. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOTHING AND TO IGNORE IT. NOW TWO YEARS LATER ITS DOING THE SAME THING, IT NORMALLY DOES THIS DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS. AT TIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO TURN BUT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN I FIRST CRANK THE CAR UP. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE POWER STEERING TIME ADJUST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, I'M CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD KEEP THIS CAR. IM REALLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I ALSO HEAR THE CLINKING NOISE WHEN I BREAK AND THUMP NOISE WHEN I TURN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IF THIS IS A PERSISTENT ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVEN AFTER ITS BEEN REPAIRED THEN IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ITS WORTH KEEPING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY G6 IS 53,000. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6, PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2008. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS, I WAS ALERTED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT MY VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT WERE ILLUMINATED WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE INTERMITTENT AND THE DEALER CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2005 AND 2006 MODELS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 09V036000) BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR
