2007 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL 4 DOOR 2.4L. AT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES I STARTED GETTING BRAKE PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED THE BRAKES TURNED AND GRINNED. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DO THAT BECAUSE OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND WHEN THEY GOT THEIRS TURNED AND GRINNED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OCCURRED THEREAFTER. NOW (@24,000) I HAVE WARPED BRAKES, WORN OUT PADS, AND A DEFECTIVE WORN OUT I-SHAFT(STEERING ROD). I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE ROTORS IN THE REAR, REPLACED ALL PADS AND GRINNED AND TURNED THE REST OF THE ROTORS. THEY CLAIMED MY CAR WAS FIXED BUT THE SECOND I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME WARPING NOISE WAS APPARENT COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I WAS STILL HEARING THE CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY AMERICANS AROUND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BRAKES AND I-SHAFT. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE LAST WEEK AT ONE POINT WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. I KEPT HITTING IT AND FINALLY IT GAVE IN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND PONTIAC/GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY GET THE SAME PROBLEMS TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH! VIEW WEBSITE BELOW TO VIEW CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT..THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE TO THIS PROBLEM. LET'S ENFORCE GM TO RECALL THIS MODEL AND CAR SO MANY AMERICANS CAN STOP DISHING OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ONCE FIXED! THANK YOU *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY CAUSING THEM TO GO ON WITHOUT BRAKING AND ARE OFTEN NOT ILLUMINATED WHILE BRAKING. THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE ALSO CAUSES THE STABILITY CONTROL TO SHUT OFF. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THEY ARE TYPICALLY ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND TURN OFF WHEN IT IS. SOMETIMES IF I'M PARKED, AND I PUSH REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEY WILL COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN I LET UP (AS THEY SHOULD). HOWEVER, AFTER SOME TIME, THEY REVERT BACK TO WORKING OPPOSITE FROM HOW THEY SHOULD. I'VE HAD THE CAR SINCE 2008 AND DISCOVERED THIS ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER I HAD IT WHEN A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING ME. AT THE TIME, I FOUND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS OF THIS CAR, BUT THERE WAS/IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME FOR MORE RECENT MODELS. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE OCCASIONALLY HAD THE PROBLEM OF THE CAR BEING DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I'VE FOUND THAT IF THIS HAPPENS, I CAN SHIFT WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

BRAKE LIGHT REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN PRESS ON BRAKE, BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT. SOMEONE CAN EASILY HIT ME IN THE BACK DUE TO BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION. THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON ENTIRE TIME DRIVING DOWN ROAD. I REPLACED BRAKE SENSOR AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE. I WAS FOLLOWING MY SPOUSE HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHEN HE WAS DRIVING BUT THEY WENT OFF EVERY TIME HE BRAKED TO TURN A CORNER, STOP AT A LIGHT, OR SLOW DOWN WHEN BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR ONLY 2005 - 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT NONE FOR 2007 OWNERS. IT'S OBVIOUS THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH GM NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX (FOR FREE.) *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FLICKERING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED ON ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,642.

POWER STEERING NO PLACE TO PUT FLUID IN VEHICLE WENT OUT HAVE NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. PONTIAC G6 2007 VERY SCARY NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE CALLED PONTIAC TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR WHERE DO I PUT FLUID FOR STEERING IN AT THEY SAID IT IS ELECTRONICALLY STEERING GOD BLESS PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS INFO AND THEY ARE DRIVING AND THAT HAPPENS ANGELS WERE WITH ME.. COGGIN PONTIAC SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT 58,103 MILES 3 YRS OLD WOW .VERY SCARY WHEN YOU GET IN YOUR VEHICLE YOU PRAY AND HOPE IT DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO I STARTED CRYING CAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL THANK GOD I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND NO VEHICLES WERE AROUND. *TR

I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 4 CYLINDER ON OCT 26 2010. THE STEERING WAS REPLACED AFTER WE USED WHAT LITTLE WE HAD IN SAVINGS. BELIEVING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED I DROVE IT 15 MILES INTO TOWN AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP AGAIN. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND IT HAS SAT IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS. WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN WE LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEIR G6 CARS. SURELY THIS IS A RECALL. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

10/5/10 I WAS GOING TO HAVE WORK DONE ON MY PONTIAC G6 2007 BASE MODEL, I WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND SAW THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOT WHEN STOP. ON 10/06/10 I WENT TO A GM DEALER AND HAD SENSOR REPAIR AND BRAKES RECALIBRATED. TONIGHT 10/22/10 AT 9:05PM I WAS PULLED OVER BY AND OFFICER WHO STATED HE SAW MY BRAKES WERE ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOT WHEN STOPPING. I WANTED TO BE REFUNDED FOR WHAT I PAY TO FIX IT AND HAVE GM FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE..BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING AND BE CHARGED AGAIN....SOMEONE NEEDS TO CONTACT ME AND I WANTED REFUNDS FOR ME HAVING TO TAKE IT TWICE TO GET FIX, REFUND ME FOR BOTH.... *TR

HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE OCT. 2008. APPROX 1YR AGO IN 2009, STARTED TO EXPERIENCE AIRBAG PROBLEMS. ADULT PERSON OF SUFFICIENT WEIGHT WILL SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AT RANDOM POINTS OF CAR RIDE, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL SHOW "OFF" AND CAR WILL CHIME WHILE DISPLAYING MESSAGE "AIRBAG OFF" EVEN THOUGH A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. ALSO, RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING "SERVICE AIRBAG" WILL SHOW ON DASH AND INDICATOR LIGHT WILL SHOW "ON" WHEN SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD VIN IS NOT INCLUDED ON AIRBAG RECALL NHTSA # 07V146000 DESPITE EXPERIENCING THOSE ISSUES. *TR

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A 2007 PONTIAC G6 WITH 24,000 MILES ON IT AND IT NOW HAS 39,000 MILES. SOMETIME WITHIN THOSE 13,000 MILES IT HAS DEVELOPED A CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED MOST NOTICEABLY AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE PINPOINTED THE NOISE TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING BOX OR STEERING SHAFT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO STEERING CONTROL FAILURE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED SOON. I AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HAVE GM ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL PONTIAC G6 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING POWER STEERING WARNINGS ON MY DASH SO I COULD MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR WITH COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WOULD 1200.00. WHY ISN'T A RECALL ON THE 2007 G6 BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT 2006 HAS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO BECAUSE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD THAT. AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL? PONTIAC KNEW THAT 2007 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2006 HAS.

I HAVE A PONTIAC 2007 G6 THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WENT INTO A VERY SWALLOW DITCH. I WAS NOT HURT AND THE CAR WAS NOT DAMAGED, HOWEVER IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CANAL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILL. ALL MY FLUIDS ARE CHECK AND CHANGE ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE ERROR AND NEEDS TO BE LOOK AND THIS WILL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND I AM NOT FIXING IT MY SELF. NOR AM I GOING TO PAY TO HAVE FIX WHEN THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD PAY TO FIX IT . THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION AT ANY TIME NO MATTER WHAT YEAR OR MAKE !! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER I COULD HAVE BEEN KILL DO TO A DEFECT AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIX NOW !!!!!!!!! *TR

THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF STEERING PROBLEMS - A THUMPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT AND ACCELERATING - INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ON 07-18-2012. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN I FELT IT WOULD NOT PROPERLY TURN- HAD TO FORCE STEERING WHEEL. ON 07-19-2012 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MAKE A 130 DEGREE RIGHT TURN. SHE WOUND UP IN THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY, THE STEERING RACK GEAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAD ONLY 39,002 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GENERAL MOTORS, PONTIAC DIVISION BECAUSE I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I ASKED FOR SOME REIMBURSEMENT, WHICH THEY REFUSED, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET THIS REPORTED. I HOPE THIS GETS LOOKED INTO AND PERHAPS A LIFE SAVED. THANK YOU *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES WITH THE REPAIRS FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH A DAMAGED TIRE. A BOLT WAS IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THERE WAS A CRACKED RIM ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAITED TWO WEEKS FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WITH THE BOLT STILL IN THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT HAD THE POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED TWICE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SUNROOF HAD A LEAKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE SUNROOF WAS REPAIRED AND UPON INSPECTION BY ANOTHER DEALER IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO LINING ON THE SUNROOF AND A WRENCH WAS STUCK IN THE TOP OF THE SUNROOF FRAMING. THE LEAK HAD DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTION OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT AND EXTENSIVE MOLD WAS ON ALL OF THE SEATBELTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND INDICATED THAT THE CONTACT WAS TO BE INCLUDED IN RECALLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SENT OUT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE NOTICES WOULD BE SENT. THE MULTIPLE FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. DYD

1. I BOUGHT A PONTIAC G6 LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO. 2. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, COLUMN OR STEERING RACK. *TR

POWER STEERING FIRST STARTED SHAKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE ELECTRIC POWERING STEERING. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE, CAR IS HARD TO HOLD ON THE ROAD BECAUSE POWER STEERING SHACKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE NOW AT 75,000 MILES POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. EARLIER MODELS WERE RECALLED. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I COMPLETELY LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE SO I VEERED INTO THE DITCH IN MY YARD. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY/ROAD IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50-55 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN BEEPING ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER ADVISED HAVING A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,720 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,790.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,200.

OUR 2007 G6 HAS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT RESULTS IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AND OFF WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. WE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED CRUISE CONTROL DROP OUT AT SPEED SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS DIFFICULTIES SHIFTING INTO DRIVE UNLESS EXTREME PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. ALL THREE OF THESE CONCERNS LINE UP WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V036000 HOWEVER OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD. GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE CONCERN BUT REPORTS THAT THERE ARE NOT RECALL NOTICES OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALL THREE SYMPTOMS INDICATE THAT THE RECALLED CONNECTOR SITED IN 09V03600 CONTINUES TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD OF 2005-2006. RELATED TO, BUT WITNESSED BEFORE, THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEMS ON OUR VEHICLE I FOLLOWED A G6 ON I75 NORTH OF AUBURN HILLS MI THAT HAD IT'S BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE AT SPEED BUT THEY TURNED OFF WHEN THE DRIVER SLOWED DUE TO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY PROBLEM THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. *TR

BRAKES LIGHTS ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 ARE WORKING INCORRECTLY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ONE WHEN I'M ACCELERATING AND OFF WHEN I'M ACTUALLY BRAKING. THE SHIFTER IS ALSO HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ON AND OFF. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V-036. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES LIGHTS WOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE AND REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. IN ADDITION, THE ROTORS AND BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING AT 19,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE ALSO WEARING PREMATURELY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 21, 000.

2007 PONTIAC G6 HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SAME PROBLEMS AS TSB-08-05-009A BUT, NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. HARD TO SHIFT FROM PARK, BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AT 70 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED AND THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED WHERE THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKE STOP LIGHT SWITCH AND ONE OF THE TWO REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE SIMILAR DEFECT UNDER NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10032206 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: SWITCHES: BRAKE LIGHT). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,535.

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

I WAS STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING DEFAULT MESSAGE CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A CLICKING THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND WHENEVER THE WHEEL WAS ACTUATED. I NOTICED THERE WAS A LAG IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOVED. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY I ALSO NOTICED A CONSTANT SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH SYMPTOMS THAT I HAD WITH THIS ISSUE COULD DEFINITELY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED.ALSO, BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING BRAKES AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 G6 WHEN SOMEONE PULLED UP BESIDE ME AND HONKED THEIR HORN TO GET MY ATTENTION. THE MAN INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT TURNED OFF WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE FOR THE RED LIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO BE FIXED AT A SHOP NEAR MY HOME, HE REPLACED THE SENSOR IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I LEFT HIS SHOP IT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. WORKING FINE ONLY LAST ABOUT 8 MONTHS WHEN I NOTICED THE REFLECTION OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC SIGNS WHEN I WASN'T PUSHING ON THE BRAKE I REALIZED I ONCE AGAIN WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE I HAVE LEFT THAT FIRST SHOP IN 2010, I HAVE TAKEN MY G6 TO 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS PAYING UPWARDS OF $500.00 TO GET THE SAME ISSUE RESOLVED EACH TIME. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP (2 WEEKS AGO); THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE BEEN THERE IN JUNE OF 2011, SEPTEMBER OF 2012 AND NOW JUNE OF 2013. THE HEAD TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE "HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS". HE UNPLUGGED EVERYTHING AND PLUGGED IT ALL BACK IN AND THEY WORKED FINE BUT THE ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RESOLVED. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WE HAD THE LIGHT BULB AND FUSES REPLACED BUT IT APPEARED THAT THE CORDS WERE CORRODED AND BURNED. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP. ONCE WE DONE THAT, THEY LASTED ABOUT A 9 MONTHS TO A YEAR BEFORE THAT SET WENT OUT, REPLACE THE HEAD LAMP AGAIN AND STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT COVER 2007 MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR INJURY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AT RANDOM AND TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. FROM YOUR OWN BULLETIN: BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ALL PONTIAC G6 MODELS SHOULD BE INCLUDED DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT INTERMITTENTLY AFFECTS DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN THE ISSUES OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ALL BE ON WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. BASICALLY WORKING IN REVERSE. WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. THE ISSUE WILL ALSO JUST BEGIN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND MAY JUST AS SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH TO INDICATE THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING. ONLY AT NIGHT, IN A DARK ENVIRONMENT, ARE YOU ABLE TO KNOW THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO SEE THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT IS LIGHT. DURING THE DAYLIGHT, OR CITY LIGHT ENVIRONMENT, THE NON-FUNCTIONING CRUISE IS THE ONLY INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM. IMPROPERLY FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS IS A HIGH SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. WHEN THE ISSUE IS NOT OCCURRING ALL BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AS IS THE CRUISE CONTROL. INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY CAR WHEEL HAS BEEN LOCKING UP..AND SAYS I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. AFTER RESEARCH, EVERY CAR FOR PONTIAC G6 2005-2008 THERE HAS BEEN THIS PROBLEM. IT COVERED EVERY YEAR AND SKIPPED OVER MINE! THE WHEEL UNLOCKS AFTER HOURS TIME, BUT WITH NO POWER STEERING AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN ITS VERY SCARY ON A HIGHWAY. ESPECIALLY IF IT UNLOCKS IN A TURN. WHEN I CALLED PONTIAC THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR SERVICE TO BE LOOKED AT AND PAY FOR THE PART, AND I MIGHT POSSIBLY GET MY MONEY BACK. FROM WHAT I FOUND OUT ON THE WHEEL, ITS A SENSOR AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. AS YOU KNOW IN THIS ECONOMIC TIMES, A PART THAT'S 500.00 IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING IT WOULD BE SAFE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PONTIAC G6 OWNER WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME GET A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS GO OFF. PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IM ACTUALLY STOPPING. ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE AND SOMETIMES IT WONT. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND PONTIAC NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2007 OR SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED. *TR

ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6, I HAD NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS DURING AND AFTER OPERATION. THIS SMELL WOULD FILL THE CAR AND MY GARAGE WHEN PARKED. AFTER DOING SOME READING I FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6. A PLASTIC LINE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/ PUMP CRACKS OR BREAKS AND LEAKS FUEL ONTOP OF THE GAS TANK AND THE EXHAUST LINES AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A INHALATION HAZARD AND FIRE HAZARD TO ANY ONE USING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOWERED THE GAS TANK ON MY CAR THE LINE WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AT $281. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE I75 EXPRESSWAY IN HEAVY RAIN SPEED AT THE TIME WAS APPROX 60 MILES PER HOUR, DECIDED TO GET OF AT THE NEXT EXIT UNTIL THE RAIN COOLED DOWN. I THEN TURNED BY STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT TO MERGE ONTO THE EXIT LANE WHEN THE CAR INSTANTLY STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL...SPUN 5-7 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN HIT THE MEDIAN WITH THE RIGHT TAIL END. UPON IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN SNAPPED OFF INTO MY LAP WITH NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IN PULLED RIGHT OUT AND WAS NOW IN MY LAP. THE CAR IS NOW IN REPAIR AND I HAVE REQUESTED THE PARTS TO BE SAVED, THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CONTACTED PONTIAC AND WE HAD A DISCUSSION...BUT I DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED I HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THEM SINCE THE DISCUSSION. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 V4, TURNED CAR ON TODAY AND WARNING MESSAGE SAYS POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING IS SHOT, WE HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT DRIVE THIS CAR RESPONSIBLY. YESTERDAY IT WAS WORKING FINE, THIS MORNING IT WAS NOT- CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING THE POWER STEERING STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING!!! *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON MY 2007 G6. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON WHEN ACCELERATING AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. ALSO, FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS REVERSED ON PONTIAC G6 2007, BRAKES HARD TO ENGAGE. SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE IN LESS THAN A YEAR WITHOUT PROPER DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR. *TR

PONTIAC 2007 G6 SEDAN PROBLEM BRAKE LIGHT ON WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN BRAKE DEPRESSED, BRAKE LIGHT ON 2 TO 3 SECONDS AFTER BRAKE PEDAL RELEASE. *TR

LETTER TO NHTSA FROM REGARDING A PROBLEM WITH GM (SERVICE PARTS UNAVAILABILITY) 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PART(S) WERE ON BACK ORDER. *JB UPDATED 07/27/10*JB

VEHICLE WAS HAVING NUMEROUS ISSUE'S WHEN I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT UNDER "GM CERTIFIED" WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WHEN A PASSENGER EXITS THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING WILL KEEP THE AIRBAG SENSOR ENGAGED AND LEFT ON. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO BEEP FOR THE PASSENGER TO BUCKLE UP THE SEAT BELT UNTIL YOU EITHER STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR OR BUCKLE THE SEAT. THIS IS WITHOUT ANY WEIGHT ON THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG WILL ALSO RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND ON WHILE A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE DURING TURN'S AND OTHER COMMON DRIVING TECHNIQUES. I HAVE HAD THREE GM DEALERS LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THEY ARE PULLING A CODE OUT OF THE ECM THAT THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS... GM HAS FAILED TO FIX OR OFFER A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND I AM WORRIED THAT IF THESE CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER MY PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR FAULTY WIRING ETC ALL HAVE COME UP NEGATIVE. *TR

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

I WAS RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DURING THE DAYTIME A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND A PASSENGER HAD REALIZED THAT BOTH MY TAIL LIGHTS WEREN'T TURNING ON WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP. I CHECKED IT OUT LATER ON AND TURNS OUT THAT NOT ONLY DO MY BRAKES NOT WORK WHEN I SLOW DOWN, BUT ONLY WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP DO THEY TURN ON, AND STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20 SECS AFTER I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKES. NIGHT TIME IS WORSE BECAUSE MY LIGHT STAYS ON (AS IF MY FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE) UNTIL I ACTUALLY PRESS THE BRAKE, THEN THEY DIM DOWN LIKE HOW THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND STAY DIM FOR ABOUT 20 SECS. AND TURN BACK ON AS IF I WAS AT A STOP SIGN GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFTEN COME ON WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T APPLIED AND DO NOT GO ON WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED. I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FIXED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME WAS UNDER MY WARRANTY, UNDER A YEAR, SO I ONLY HAD TO PAY ONCE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED RECENTLY AGAIN, BUT THE YEAR WARRANTY HAS PASSED ALREADY. I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR OFTEN, SO IT MIGHT HAVE STILL BEEN AN ISSUE ALL ALONG, AS I ALSO DON'T NOTICE IT UNLESS IT IS AT NIGHT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AND THE A CHIME WILL BE HEARD INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47000.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR FAILURE. COMMON PROBLEM, THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REPORTED ONLINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO FIX. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, LIVES ARE AT RISK BECAUSE OF THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE. "SERVICE AIRBAG" DISPLAYS ON RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS AFTER PASSENGER EXITS VEHICLE AND SOME TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
