STEERING
MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 HAS HAD THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF, THE POWER STEERING USUALLY COMES BACK ON WHEN I RESTART THE CAR. THE LAST 2 TWOS, IT GOES BACK OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TURNING OF THE CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 WILL RANDOMLY HAVE THE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS COMES AND GOES AND CAN GO FOR MONTHS WITHOUT IT HAPPENING AND THEN RANDOMLY START UP AGAIN. NOW MY STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHILE STOPPED AND ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME I START MY CAR I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I START MY CAR AND I CAN TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY GM DEALERSHIP WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND 2,000 TO FIX, AND NOW I NEED TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WHICH IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER LARGE BILL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I HAVE THE 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. ALSO THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT REPLACED A YEAR AGO. A WEEK AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART. TURNS OUT THERE IS ONE FOR THE 2009 BUT NOT THE 2010. THE MECHANIC SAID ITS THE SAME PART. SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, WHY DOES THE 2010 NOT HAVE A RECALL. TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE TWICE SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM. AS I WAS CHECKING THE RECALL FOR THE 2010, I FOUND A RECALL INVOLVING A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY IT CAN CAUSE THE ESC TO HAVE A PROBLEM. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. I NEED THIS FIXED PROPERLY SO IT'S SAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. THANK YOU

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH THE 3.5L LX9 V6 ENGINE. AT 90,000 MILES I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (AUTOMATIC). THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THE CAR REVERSES NORMALLY. ALL MAINTENANCE IS DONE BY MYSELF OR THE DEALER. I CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH GENUINE GM PARTS AND FLUID. I NOTICED THE FLUID WAS SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED AND VERY TINY PIECES OF METAL WERE IN THE PAN. THE TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPPED IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR AFTER CHANGING THE FLUID. OBVIOUSLY I WANT TO AVOID PUTTING IN A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. I WANT TO CHECK THE COMPUTER AND AND ANY ELECTRICAL PIECES THAT CORRESPOND WITH THE TRANSMISSION FIRST BEFORE I DECIDE. AS A SIDE NOTE,I DID BRING THE VEHICLE TO GM FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A CODE FOR A TRANSMISSION POSITION SENSOR. HOWEVER I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHICH IS WHAT THAT SENSOR IS SUPPOSE TO DO SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE SENSOR.

STEERING
IN 2014 I RECIEVED A RECALL ON MY PONTIAC G6 2006 TO INFORM ME OF A FAULTY POWER STEERING. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. AT THAT TIME I WASN'T EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING. NOW IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS LATER MY CAR POWER STEERING IS LOCKING UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS, WHILE IN PARK. I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM GM MY CAR IS NEEDED FOR WORKING AND SCHOOL BUT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE FEAR THR CAR MAY LOCK UP ON ME AGAIN. FEB 22, 2019 WHILD PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WHERE COMING, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON... I PRAYED THE WHILE TIME WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD SON IN THE BACK SEAT.

STEERING
THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2014 ABOUT FAULTY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEMS FOR THE 2008 PONTIAC G6. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT REPAIRED. I AM NOW AGAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT AGAIN WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN. I ALSO CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR. GM SHOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT IS FIXED CORRECTLY. THERE ARE MANY BLOGS AND FORUMS WITH PEOPLE IN THE SAME POSITION AS I AM AND NO ONE INCLUDING NHTSA IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
