2006 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

JUST RECENTLY I HAD MY PONTIAC, 2006, G-6 REPAIRED AT THE CHEVY DEALER. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY FUEL LEAK UNTIL THE WERE GOING TO DROP THE FUEL TANK. THERE THEY FOUND THE FUEL LEAK. THEY REMOVED THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I HAD CALLED GM PONTIAC TO CHECK ON THE PONTIAC, 2006 G-6 RECALL. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO PONTIAC G-6 RECALLS. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2006 PONTIAC STATING THAT THE FUEL PUMP LEAKS. ACCORDING TO AIRTEC THEY DID A RECALL ON THEIR FUEL PUMPS MODEL NO. E3591M. THIS PUMP LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE PUMP THEY TOOK OUT. THEY STATED THE FUEL PUMP SEAL WILL LEAK GAS.

MY CHILD WENT TO PULL AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP AND THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NOT MOVE, SHE STATED THAT SHE COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL

POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS THE RADIO AND HARD TO STEER AFRAID TO LET MY FAMILY RIDE IN A CAR THAT ITS HARD TO STEER HAD THE RECALL DONE IN 2015

THE FIRST EVENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A TEXAS HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATLY WENT STIFF AND A CHIME AND WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF IN THE CAR INDICATING THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS FAULTING AND HAD SHUT OFF. THE EVENT CAUSED DISTRESS AS I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC USING GREAT EFFORT IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT ON AND THE ERROR WENT AWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT A LOCAL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL AFFECTING POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THESE VEHICLES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY WITH GM SAFETY RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY UPWARDS OF 1600 DOLLARS TO GET THE ISSUE REPAIRED. I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE REGARDING THE INCIDENT. THEY STATED VIA EMAIL THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME ISSUES AS THOSE VEHICLES GM ACKNOWLEDGED. THEY INFORMED US THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WERE LEFT WITH NO OTHER AVENUES. THE ISSUE HAS COME AND GONE A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE THEN LUCKILY IN LESS DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WITH THE WORST ONE EVEN LEADING THE VEHICLE TO STEER TOWARDS THE SIDE OF A STREET STRIKING THE SIDEWALK. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT INJURE ANYBODY BUT DID CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET, HOWEVER IT STILL RAISES MAJOR CONCERNS TOWARDS THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND THAT OF MY FAMILY'S. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THUS FAR THAT NONE OF THE INCIDENTS WITH GM FAULTY STEERING CONTROL ASSIST HAVE CAUSED DIRECT HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHERS.

RECENTLY, I SAW AN ARTICLE FROM A LOCAL NEWS STATION REGARDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GOING AFTER LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIPS FOR NOT DISCLOSING OR FIXING RECALLS FOR CARS SOLD OFF OF THEIR LOT. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS. UPON PLACING MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I DISCOVERED THAT I HAVE THREE RECALLS THAT HAVE AFFECTED MY CAR, HAVING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND POWER STEERING. MY CAR HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ITS BRAKES FROM THE GET-GO, I EVEN WENT BACK TO WEBSMART TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH MY WARRANTY. MERE WEEKS AFTER GETTING IT "FIXED", THE ISSUES RETURNED AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS RECALL OR NOT. MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, IN THE LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO REGARDING THIS AND COULD USE SOME HELP. THANK YOU, MATT.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM!! IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY, INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

ON APPROXIMATELY 13 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS (WHILE ON A CITY STREET AT 25MPH, AND WHILE ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH) ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES GO CRAZY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO. 'POWER STEERING' MESSAGE AND 'LOW FUEL' LIGHT (HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS) WAS SHOWN ON THE RADIO MESSAGE CENTER, ALONG WITH WARNING SOUNDS, AND 'ERROR' WAS DISPLAYED IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. GAUGES CONTINUED FLUCTUATING REPEATEDLY FROM NORMAL AND/OR CORRECT RANGES, TO ZERO, AND CONTINUED SOUNDING/SHOWING WARNING SOUNDS AND ERROR MESSAGES FOR APPROX 5-6 MINUTES. THEN ALL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AND STAYED THERE, CAR ENGINE WAS CUTTING IN AND OUT AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, DID NOT HAVE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. PARKED CAR, SHUT OFF, REMOVED KEY, OPENED DOOR AND RESTARTED CAR. DROVE FINE (NO ISSUES) FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME RADIO STAYED ON AND ENGINE DID NOT CUT OUT, GUAGES RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES OF INTERMITTENT FLUCTUATING, ERROR MESSAGES DISAPPEARED FROM MESSAGE CENTER WITHOUT HAVING TO SHUT OFF CAR, BUT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS OFF AND I COULD NOT TURN BACK ON - TRACTION CONTROL WORKED AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED A SHORT TIME LATER. RECALL REPAIR FOR POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR WAS COMPLETED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, IN 2015. TWO MECHANICS IN AREA COULD NOT FIND CODES THAT WERE THROWN BUT STATE THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE PART OR A PART PERTAINING TO THE RECALLED TORQUE SENSOR, BUT COULD NOT CONFIRM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO. DIFFICULT TO STEER. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING OF THE G6'S SO I TOOK IT TO A BUICK DEALER TO LOOK AT. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER DATE OF THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000). I HAD THE 23232310 SENSOR KIT AND 22837369 MODULE REPLACED. $1303.34. WHY IS MY CAR NOT COVERED WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS THOSE IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID MINE WAS MADE LATER WITH NEWER PARTS. BUT, IT STILL APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED THE SAME WAY. ARE THERE OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE? SHOULD MINE BE IN THE RECALL?

MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALLED PART (BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION) AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL LOCKING UP. AFTER FIXING THE RECALLED PART I HAVE PURCHASED A BATTERY, A CALIBER, STARTER, AND TWO HUBS. MY CAR IS STILL NOT WORKING IT WILL FUNCTION FOR A COUPLE OF MILES PERFECTLY, AND THEN IT RETURNS TO THE SAME PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WILL NOT GEAR UP THE CAR WILL BE ON DRIVE AND IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO CATCH, THEN THE CAR WILL LOCK UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE. SO I WILL HAVE TO GET A TOW SERVICE BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL LOCK THE CAR AND I CANNOT PUSH IT TO A SAFE AREA.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH OF 2017 ADVISING ME OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH A BCM COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNLESS I WAS CERTAIN THE PROBLEM EXISTED. THE LETTER WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT GM WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE TO COVER THE NEEDED REPAIRS IF THE PROBLEM WERE TO SHOW AS LONG AS IT WAS LESS THAN 15 YEARS, OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN TO SERVICE. THE THING THAT INSULTS ME IS THAT I HAD THE VEHICLE IN A DEALER SHOP A COUPLE OF MONTHS PRIOR TO GETTING THIS LETTER TO HAVE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. ANYTIME A VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO A DEALER THE MILEAGE IS RECORDED AND THEREFORE GM KNEW, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE SENDING THE LETTER THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY BEYOND THE MILEAGE THEY WERE ALLOWING IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF THIS WAS SUCH A PROBLEM I WOULD THING GM SHOULD COVER IT NO MATTER THE AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE ROAD OR THE NUMBER OF MILES. ATTACHED ARE BOTH THE DEALER SHOP TICKET SHOWING THE VIN, DATE AND MILEAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FOR A STEERING ISSUE, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER LIMITING THE MILEAGE TO LESS THAN WHAT GM SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WAS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LETTER WAS MAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

DUE TO A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR MY PONTIAC G6 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CORRECTIONS MADE. WHEN I SEARCH BY MY VIN NUMBER THERE ARE NO OPEN OR NEW RECALLS PRESENT. YET OVER THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY INFORMATION DISPLAY ON THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL CHIME AND DISPLAY "POWER STEERING". I DO NOT NOTICE ANY CHANGES WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CAR WHEN THE DISPLAY APPEARS. I HAVE PRESSED THE INFO BUTTON ONCE IT APPEARS AND IT THEN GOES AWAY FROM THE DISPLAY AND NO OTHER FUNCTIONING APPEARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY ON A RECALL IS MALFUNCTIONING.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HAD ZERO POWER STEERING. SHE WAS ABLE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND HAD STEERING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE MORE BUT THEN THE SAME THING! WE HAD A RECALL DONE A YEAR AGO ON THE TORQUE SENSOR STEERING COLUMN - WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK WHEN PICKING UP THE CAR. NOW THEY SAY IT IS THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE - SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I'M GUESSING ANY PONTIAC G6 HAS POTENTIAL TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TORQUE SENSOR STEERING COLUMN AND PONTIAC DOES NOT CARE. *TR

WHEN MY SEATBELT IS PLUGGED IN WHETHER I'M IN DRIVE OR I'M IN PARK THE LIGHT COMES ON AND KEEPS BEEPING IF I RATTLE THE BUCKLE INSIDE THE SEAT BELT HOUSING AROUND THE LIGHT GOES OFF AT 15 SECONDS MOMENTARILY AND THEN COMES BACK ON IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT I'M SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON IN THE DASH CONSTANTLY AND KEEPS BEEPING EVERY 45 MINUTES DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ON

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BUT BEFORE IT CAME ON I SMELLED SOMETHING FUNNY AND THEN THE AIRBAG ICON CAME ON THE DASHBOARD I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS THAT THE AIR BAG IS SUPPOSED TO BE RECALLED BUT ON MY CAR IT IS NOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE PLEASE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG FOR MY CAR SO I CAN GET IT FIXED.P.ST. IT WON'T LET ME PUT THE MILEAGE DOWN I WAS GOING IT WAS 45 MILES PER HOUR IN MY MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS AROUND A HUNDRED AND THREE THOUSAND. *TR

FOUR MONTHS AGO, WE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH THE POWER STEERING. BORCHERDING BUICK SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD US THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING COLUMN, BUT, WAIT UNTIL IT ACTS UP MORE AND THEY CAN FIX IT. JANUARY 11, 2017 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE BORCHERDING DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US A LOANER AND TYPED IN THE REPAIR WORK. LATER THAT DAY, WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THE, THE SPECIAL COVERAGE IS OUT OF PARAMETER BECAUSE THE RECALL EXPIRED 1-31-2015. THE ITEM DEFECTIVE WAS THE POWER STEERING MODULE, WHICH GM AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED WHEN THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. WE FEEL IT IS UNETHICAL FOR GM NOT TO STAND BEHIND THE RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! JEFF BOYER V.P. OF VEHICLE SAFETY IN A PREVIOUS LETTER STATED, "HE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART, AND NO WAY COULD WE HAVE PREVENTED THIS OR HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE AND REPAIRED IT. THE INCIDENT OCCURED AS WE WERE LEAVING A RESIDENCE, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! *CN
