EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING; HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS, CLEANED THE WIRES. THEY WORK FOR FEW WEEKS AND THEN WON'T COME ON. IN DOING A SEARCH ON LINE, I SEE PAGES AND PAGES OF SIMILAR COMPLAINT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN ONE HEADLIGHT OUT AT A TIME, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DO BOTH NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER, BUT DON'T EXPECT THEY WILL KEEP LETTING ME GO WITHOUT ISSUING ME A TICKET WHEN I TELL THEM IT'S BEEN IN FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TURNING THE WHEEL IS VERY HARD AT DEAD STOP TO A SLOW SPEED. EX: RED TO GREEN LIGHT TURNING BAY. AS IT SHOULD TURN FAIRLY EASILY IT IS A STRUGGLE AND A HALF TO TURN CAUSING A WIDE TURN. ON THE HIGHWAY YOU BASICALLY HAVE TO JERK IT TO GET OVER IN TIME. NOT TO MENTION IT ALREADY HAS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AS WELL WHEN I WAS LEASED THE CAR.

STEERING
WHILE IN MOTION BACKING OUT OF MY SISTERS DRIVEWAY I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL TO HAVE THE CAR GO IN THE DIRECTION I WAS GOING IN ON THE HIGHWAY AN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY AT ALL THEN THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON THE SCREEN ON THE DASH. I TRIED TO PULL FORWARD BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY OUT OF TRAFFIC AND IT STILL WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY. THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2010 PONTIAC G6 FOR THE SAME EXACT THING BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT ALL 2010 MY CAR WAS NEW WHEN I GOT IT AN IT STILL HAS ORIGINAL PARTS ON IT SO I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THE RECALL

POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY WHILE IN MOTION, AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. DROVE STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL, THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH FLUID IN THE CAR. PONTIAC SPECIAL WARRANTY COVERED POWER ASSIST MODULE TO BE REPLACED. SAME THING FAILED LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL. NO WARNING. PONTIAC WILL NOT APPROVE OF STEERING COLUMN TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR. BUT SHE WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY BEFORE THIS.

STEERING
HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES PAST TWO WEEKS. ISSUE TYPICALLY OCCURS AT STARTING OF CAR, A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY: A CHIME IS HEARD, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS POWER STEERING, THE ESC OFF INDICATOR COMES ON, AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING CAN RESET AND POWER STEERING WORKS. WHEN POWER STEERING IS WORKING, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE AT A STOP, CAN SOMETIMES BE FELT WHEN DRIVING, I'VE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH G6'S. IN FACT, MANY GM MODELS, ALTHOUGH THE PONTIAC 2010 MODEL YEAR IS NOT INCLUDED. IT'S OBVIOUS THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND 2010 G6'S NEED TO BE INCLUDED. I'M SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ASAP.
