THE PONTIAC G6 2006 HAS A PROBLEM WITH ITS STEERING. THE DRIVER HAS TO HAVE MUSCLES IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN. IF IT IS A SHARP TURN YOU WILL BE UP ON THE CURB. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ONE WOULD THINK THE CAR COMPANY WOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY DID RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP UNTIL THE YEAR OF 2005!!! PLEASE HELP!! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2005 PONTIAC G-6. THE PROBLEM I HAVE FALLS INTO ONE OF THE RECALLS YOU LIST - BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, BUT REMAIN ON WHEN NOT PRESSED. ALSO, DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND WAS TOLD THAT YOUR WEBSITE IS INACCURATE AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. I ALSO CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I'D LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED, BUT GM WILL NOT HONOR MY REQUEST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF THERE IS A RECALL, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY GM DENIES THERE IS A RECALL. *TR

STEERING
WHILE ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY ON RAMP THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE FOR AROUND 3 SECONDS WHICH CAUSED ME TO VEER INTO THE NEXT LANE UNCONTROLLABLY. STEERING SHAFT HAS BEEN TIGHTENED TWICE PRIOR AND REPLACED ONCE ALREADY AND FEELS LIKE IT IS LOOSENING AGAIN. THE FAILURE IS NOW HAPPENING AROUND ONCE A WEEK AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED. THE CAR NOW HAS 93,000 MILES, BUT THE STEERING SHAFT PROBLEMS HAPPENED BEFORE AROUND 45,000 AND THEN AGAIN AROUND 55,000. *TR

STEERING
2008 PONTIAC G6 STEERING PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING BECAME HARD TO CONTROL AND FELT LIKE IT WOULD LOCK COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS WERE SEEN WHEN HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER. NO PROBLEMS WHEN THEY DROVE IT. THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS WITH EARLIER MODELS OF G6 AND COBALTS. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED 2008 G6 SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL. I HAVE HAD SHAKE PROBLEMS AND A POPPING NOISE, AND NOW THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WHICH SCARES ME TO DEATH. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 FEB. 2007. JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO (JUNE 2, 2010) I WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASN'T BRAKING. WHEN I DO BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE SWITCH. WELL, IT'S NOT. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND I NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL 2007 PONTIAC G6'S. *TR

STEERING
2006 PONTIAC G-6 I-STEERING SHAFT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED TO FIX A THUD IN THE STEERING OF THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE BUT MANY OTHERS AND PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE AND THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD DEF. BE RECALLED. THE CHEVY COBALTS AND PONTIAC G5'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS WHY NOT THE G6? THE POWER STEERING CAN BE FAULTY ON THIS CAR GOING OUT AND CAN CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. THINK ABOUT IT IF YOUR DRIVING DOING 60 TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL OR STEER YOUR CAR NOT ONLY IS THAT SCARY, BUT A CAR ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN!! *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
AT 38,500 MILES, HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING, INCLUDING 2 STEERING SHAFT REPLACEMENTS, STEERING GEAR REPLACEMENT. POWER STEERING WILL FAIL AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD POP WHICH THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AS THE STEERING SHAFT, BUT IS NEVER FIXED AFTER REPLACEMENT. ALSO HAD TO HAVE CV JOINT REPLACED AT 38,000 MILES DUE TO FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR OTHERWISE DAMAGED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THESE ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH G6'S AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6, AND WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A KNOCKING OR SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE ON THE LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION. THEY HAVE REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT, SWAY BAR LINKS, STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3-TIMES. I AM AFRAID SOMETHING WILL BREAK AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK. CAN HEAR IT GOOK HITTING A POT HOLE IN ON THE PAVEMENT OR GOING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD THAT HAS POT HOLES. IF SOMETHING BREAKS AND CAUSES ME TO WRECK, I WILL PURSUE IF STILL AVAILABLE I WILL SUE THE DEALERSHIP FOR NOT CORRECTING THIS. I AM TIRED OF SPENDING ALL MY TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE CERTIFIED MECHANICS, BUT THEY DON'T TAKE ENOUGH TIME TO REALLY FIX THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. *TR
