2010 Pontiac G6 Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AS THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO FUNCTION AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS (BOTH) WILL GO OUT FROM TIME TO TIME. I CAN START MY CAR AND ONE OF THE LIGHTS WILL BE OUT. I CAN GET OUT AND HIT ABOVE THE LIGHT AND IT COMES BACK ON. THEN I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HIT A BUMP AND ONE OF THEM GO OUT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ONE OR BOTH MAY GO OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS 2 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2012. THEY HAVE NEVER BOTH GONE OUT AT THE SAME TIME, BUT I AM WORRIED ABOUT IT HAPPENING. THEN WHAT WILL I DO? THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR HAVING A HEADLIGHT OUT. WE THEN SHOW THE COP THAT ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HIT IT. THANKFULLY WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN A TICKET YET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000. UPDATED 5/27/14*CN

WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN CAUSING ME TO CLIMB OVER CONSOLE TO GET OUT ON DRIVER SIDE. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE THE TIME IT TOOK TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT 3 DAYS LATER THAT THEY COULDN'T GET IT OPEN EITHER FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY A BROKEN DOOR LATCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REASON ENOUGH FOR A MANUFACTURERS RECALL. THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO HAVE REPAIRED FOR A COST OF $463.31 ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! *TR

EPS SERVICE POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING AND AFTER TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART OR WARMS UP IT WILL FUNCTIIN AGAIN. I WAS PLACED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED WITH THIS PROBLEM. RECALLS ON 2009 AND BELOW HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE REVIEWS REPORTING 2010

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OR PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE INDICATORS SUDDENLY ALERTED ME TO ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, ESC SYSTEM, AIRBAGS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE GAUGES ALL MAXED OUT AND THEN FAILED ENTIRELY. THIS WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THERE WERE NO CODES THAT REGISTERED DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME MY SPEEDOMETER AND ALL DASH FUNCTIONS CEASED TO WORK, THE SAME ALERTS CAME ON AND THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH INTO GEAR AND SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. WHILE I AM STILL ABLE TO DRIVE IT, I AM NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING NOR DO I FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED THE RECALL LISTS AND IT APPEARS THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 IS NOT AMONGST THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED. THIS IS ABSURD AND A DANGER TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE ROAD WHILE THESE CARS ARE BEING DRIVEN. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO IT'S MISTAKES AND CORRECT THEM IN ORDER TO RETAIN CUSTOMERS AND SAVE LIVES. *TR

AS MY WIFE AND OUR 11 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN TOWN THE PONTIAC G6 LOST STEERING. MY WIFE PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD AND WAITED FOR ME TO COME AND GET THEM AND DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME. DURING THE RIDE THE POWER STEERING NEVER RETURNED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ONCE RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, A WARNING MESSAGE SHOWS AND THE DIC SAYING POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, WITH TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL OFF. POWER STEERING IS THEN NOT FUNCTIONAL UNTIL KEY IS SWITCH OFF AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES AT RANDOM. THERE'S ARE RECALLS FOR EARLIER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME PARTS AND NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ALL MODELS BUILT WITH THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BUT FROM ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT DOES AND IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55 MPH WHEN I HEARD A DINGING NOISE AND LOST POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, ESC OFF WERE THE MESSAGES THAT DISPLAYED. GOT MY CAR HOME, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE POWER STEERING HAD RETURNED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME OCCURRENCE BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. CALLED GM AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BEFORE THEY WOULD COMMENT. SERVICE REP I TALKED TO CLAIMED THAT IT WAS UNLIKELY IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL IN EARLIER G6 MODELS... CLEARLY JUST A COINCIDENCE! CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE STREET THE POWER STEERING/POWER ASSIST FAILS AND THE CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE THE CAR COULD EXIT THE ROADWAY. STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK WILL RECTIFY THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY POWER STEERING KICKED OFF AND 3 WARNINGS CAME ACROSS MY DASH "POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC AND ESC OFF" I WAS CLOSE TO A STOP SIGN AND ONCE THERE I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE ALARM WENT AWAY AND MY POWER STEERING WAS ONCE AGAIN WORKING. NOT ONLY DOES MY POWER STEERING KICK OFF ALL THE TIME NOW BUT MY STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY JERKS TO THE LEFT, EVEN WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO THE NEXT LANE. YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN YOUR POWER STEERING IS GOING TO KICK OFF. ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I'LL BE HAVING THE CAR LOOKED AT THIS WEEK BUT I KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. ITS THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER GM CARS INCLUDING 2005-2008 G6. THE RECALL DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL 2012 WHICH WAS AFTER THE 2010 G6 WAS BUILT. THEY REALLY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE ESC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED AND RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE ACTION WAS REPEATED AND AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER CONTACTED CLASSIC CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 6877 CENTER ST, MENTOR, OH 44060, (440)953-1070 AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE APPOINTMENT WAS NOT KEPT DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR FEE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

4 DAYS AGO DAY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE GYM THE POWER STEERING STARTED GOING OUT. SINCE THEN IT HAS LOST ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING . THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH AND NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL UP UNTIL 2009 MODEL YEAR BUT NOT ON THE 2010? THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST US G6 OWNERS. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS AND MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE BEFORE SOMEONE OR MYSELF GET SERIOUSLY HURT. ALSO THE SERVICE ESC MESSAGE HAS BEEN APPEARING AS WELL AND "ESC OFF" LIGHT IS ON. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TOMORROW OR MONDAY IF THEY CAN GET ME IN. OF COURSE I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL. SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND LACK OF OR LOSS OF STEERING COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIBRATE AND SEIZED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

2010 PONTIAC G6 IT STARTED OUT WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR A LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE DASHBOARD THAT SAID ESC OFF ,THEN POWER STEERING. I WOULD TURN OFF CAR AND TURNED BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE FINE THE INFORMATION WENT OFF. IT IS GETTING WORSE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING, SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED IT WAS VERY SCARY.I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND I SEE WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH THE 2010 PONTIAC G 6. I HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT AND THE DEALER SHIP SAID IT WAS IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE STEERING COLUMN COST 1200 DOLLARS I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET ,I DON'T HAVE 1200 DOLLARS.I SEE THE 2009 PONTIAC G6 HAD A RECALL ON THE VERY SAME ISSUE, PLEASE HELP US 2010 PONTIAC G 6 OWNERS AND HAVE THIS YEAR RE CALLED AS WELL WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED. PONTIAC DOES THIS TO US GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO HELP. P FOR SOMEONE IS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE P FOR PEOPLE DIE. *TR

THE PROBLEM START BACK IN JUNE 2013 WHEN MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 STARTED FLASHING A TROUBLE CODE IN THE DIC MESSAGE SCREEN. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AS AN ANNOYING ISSUE THE CODE WOULD SAY CHECK POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC AND THE ESC OFF INDICATOR WOULD LIGHT UP THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON STARTUP AND FOR MONTHS ALL I WOULD DO IS TURN THE KEY OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT WENT AWAY AND THE CAR WORKED FINE. THIS WOULD POP UP SPORADICALLY SOMETIMES MULTIPLE WEEKS WITHOUT OUT A PROBLEM. THEN BACK IN NOVEMBER 2013 THE PROBLEM REMAINED EXACTLY THE SAME BUT IT WOULD NOT RESET UNLESS I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION THEN REINSERT THE KEY AND IT WOULD START AND THE CAR WOULD AGAIN WORK FINE. HOWEVER, IN DECEMBER 2013 AS I WAS TRAVELING 70MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE RADIO CRANKED UP AND DID NOT HEAR THE ALERT OF THE TROUBLE CODE (WHICH NEVER HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ONLY WHEN STARTING) I WENT TO PASS A CAR AND MY CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO THE STEERING. I IMMEDIATELY GRABBED THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND WITH EVERYTHING I HAD I STEERED THE CAR AND GOT PULLED OVER TO SAFETY ON THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD. I WAS HAPPY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN JUST 3 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AS I WOULD HAVE HAD TO NEGOTIATE A SET OF CURVES THAT I'M ALMOST CERTAIN WOULD HAVE REQUIRED MORE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION AND MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE SINCE AS I TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I WENT TO TWO LOCAL GM/PONTIAC DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THE ISSUE IS A COMMON ONE ON EARLIER MODEL G6S AND THERE IS A GM RECALL/SERVICE BULLETIN ON EARLIER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2010. THEY WENT AS FAR AS TO EXPLAIN IT WAS THE SAME EQUIPMENT USED ON THE 2010 MODEL BUT DID NOT HAVE A RECALL/SERVICE BULLETING ON THE 2010. *TR

FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE HAS BEEN SHOWING UP ON THE DIC AND THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL HAS HAD A BAD SHAKE TO IT WHILE DRIVING AT JUST ABOUT ALL SPEEDS. AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A DAY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN POWER STEERING. IT HAS ALSO LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS GETTING WORSE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH AND NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL UP UNTIL 2009 MODEL YEAR BUT NOT ON THE 2010? THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST US G6 OWNERS. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS AND MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE BEFORE SOMEONE OR MYSELF GET SERIOUSLY HURT. ALSO THE SERVICE ESC MESSAGE HAS BEEN APPEARING AS WELL AND "ESC OFF" LIGHT IS ON. PLEASE GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 2ND 2013 THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE HEADING TO WORK WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CHANGE LANES BUT WAS FORCED THE LEFT NEARLY HITTING THE CEMENT BARRIER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF SO THAT IT WOULD RESET BUT IT ONLY WORKED FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES THEN IT DID IT AGAIN. I TRAVEL 62 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AND THANK GOD I DID NOT BOUNCE OFF THE CEMENT BARRIER AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I STOP BY A LOCAL STORE TO PURCHASE POWER STEERING FLUID BUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I COULD NOT LOCATE THE RESERVOIR ON OUR 2010 PONTIAC G6. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FROM GM, BUT THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE 2010 MODEL AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON ALL PONTIAC G6 MODELS. I PLAN TO TAKE THIS MATTER UP THE CEO OF GM AND IF NOT RESOLVED THERE WILL HIRE A LAWYER TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL BEFORE MYSELF OR A FAMILY MEMBER BECOME A FATALITY NUMBER FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG COMES ON AND GOES OFF , AND ON STAR SAYS THEY MAY NOT DEPLOY. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS AND THEY DONT DEPLOY. I FEEL LIKE THE AUTO COMPANY SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THIS. *TR

WHILE ON HER WAY HOME FROM PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN SHE HEARD A "DINGING" NOISE FROM THE DASHBOARD. 3 INDICATIONS CAME UP ON THE LED DISPLAY, "POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF." THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY ALMOST CAUSING HER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD REPORTED BY MANY, MANY G5, G6 AND G8 OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010 IN PARTICULAR. WHY CERTAIN MODELS/YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND NOT ALL OF THEM IS BEYOND ME. THEY ALL USE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME EPS. *TR

LOW TRACTION LIGHT AND ESC LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AT RANDOM DURING LOW SPEED WITH-OUT APPLYING THE BRAKE, WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT AT LOW SPEED WITHOUT THE WHEELS LOSING TRACTION. NO CODE ERROR DETECTED WHEN THE CODE PROGRAMMER WAS RAN AND THE CODE ERROR AUTOMATICALLY SELF CLEARS AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF THEN TURNING BACK ON. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED DURING TIMES OF EXTREME HEAT GREATER THAN 98 OUTSIDE UNCERTAIN IF A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. THE BRAKES OPERATE NORMALLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CODE ERROR OCCURS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND CRASHED INTO A CURB. THE STEERING WHEEL REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE WAS IN THE STEERING COLUMN POWER ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

SOMETIMES AROUND 40 TO 55 MPH THE CAR BEGINS TO JERK, AND THAN WHEN I GIVE IT GAS THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS SOMETIME AT LOW SPEED TOO. I TOOK THE CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS. ONE GM COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION. BUT I COULDN'T GET IT FIX THERE BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER A PONTIAC/GM DEALER. TO GET IT FIX UNDER 100000 MILES POWER TRAIN WARRANTY I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER. SO I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER JUST DOWN THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY FELT SOMETHING GOING ON, BUT COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. NO CHECK LIGHT, SO THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A LIGHT COMES ON. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH RECENT RECALLS ON G6, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER'S DRIVES THIS CAR TO SCHOOL AN HOUR AWAY THREE TIMES A WEEK. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINS LIKE THIS? THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR, STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR, AND STEERING COLUMN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASED ACCELERATION TO 60 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES WITHOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE STOPPING THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION ERRORS COME UP ON THE DASH AND THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER I STOP AND RELEASE THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION AND TO THE DEALER THE ONLY CODE REGISTERED WAS C0561 WHICH, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, IS ANOTHER COMPUTER TELLING THE BRAKE CONTROLLER TO DISABLE THE ABS OR A COMMUNICATION FAILURE. I HAVE ALSO HAD ONSTAR RUN THE CODES AS IT HAPPENED AND THEY ONLY HAD THE ONE CODE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND SOMETIMES 2 TO 3 TIMES DURING ONE DRIVE. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL ARE NEEDED. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED. WE WALKED TOWARDS THE CAR, UNLOCKED IT, STARTED IT, BUCKLED UP, PUT IT IN REVERSE, THE CAR CHIMED AND THE LED SCREEN READ "DOOR AJAR" PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH (I'M ALWAYS PICKY ABOUT MY CAR, I ALWAYS TELL MY PASSENGERS "DON'T SLAM THE DOOR" BEFORE WE GET IN THE CAR) SO I KNOW THE PROBLEM WAS NOT GENERATED BY ME. WHEN I GOT THE DOOR TO LATCH I WAS HAPPY. BUT NOW THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. MY PASSENGER HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE DRIVERS DOOR. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (NO POTHOLES) AND THE FRONT AXLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAME APART LEAVING MY CAR AT A SUDDEN STOP AND UNABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. NO NEW CAR WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE LINE AFTER 30,000 MILES. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND COST OVER $1,500 FOR REPAIRS. *TR

I HAD AN INCIDENT IN 2013 THAT MIGHT COME IN TO PLAY WITH A RECENT RECALL. I OWN A 2010 PONTIAC G6. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD TRAVELING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 45MPH MY VEHICLE BECAME IMPAIRED. THE DASH SCREEN PROJECTED SERVICE ESC/ LOW TRACTION. THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH. THE CAR ALSO BECAME JERKY, JERKING THE WHOLE CAR BACK AND FORTH FOR A MOMENT. I THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GM SHOP AND AFTER CHANGING A LOT OF PARTS THAT DIDN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED THEY FINALLY CHANGED A PART CALLED A SENSOR AND THAT SEEMED TO STOP THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THERE IS STARTING TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BUT NOT MY CAR AND I'M NOT SURE WHY. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH THIS CAR SENSE I GOT IT. ...UPDATED 08/12/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/29/17*CN

DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK. IT WAS SNOWING SO EVERYONE IS GOING SLOW. RANDOMLY THE CAR WOULD SLIP AND SAY "LOW TRACTION" ON THE LED SCREEN. NO BIG DEAL IT'S JUST SAYING TO DRIVE CAREFULLY. AFTER ONE HOUR IT STARTED SAYING "ESC ACTIVE" AND I COULD FEEL THE CAR TRYING TO CORRECT ITSELF. FIVE MINUTES LATER AFTER ESC KEPT POPPING ON THE SCREEN THE CAR CHIMED AND NOW IT WAS READING "SERVICE ESC" ON THE LED SCREEN AND AN ICON CAME ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "ESC OFF" THE LED SCREEN KEEPS SWITCHING BETWEEN "SERVICE ESC" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" BEING THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF SNOW THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS REALLY HELPFUL BUT SINCE THE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR WAS JUST GOING ALL OVER AND HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO MANEUVER IT, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON\OFF THEY ARE STILL THERE. TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. IM ON MY SECOND G6 FIRST ONE WAS GREAT. THIS ONE NOT SO MUCH. *TR

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT AND WARNING SCRIPT COME ON AND OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES. DEALER WILL ONLY LOOK AT IF WE PAY FOR IT. THEY SAY AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. IT IS CAUSED BY A LOOSE OR BROKEN WIRE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HAVE FIXED IT MYSELF SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT A PERMANENT OUT COME. WE FEEL DEALER SHOULD FIX THIS SAFETY DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. *TR

HEADLIGHT BULBS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES NEED TO BE REPLACED REPEATEDLY. THE PIGTAIL SOCKET FOR THE BULB APPEARS TO HAVE OVERHEATED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND REPLACED HEADLIGHT BULBS SIX TIMES. *TR

THE OTHER DAY MY WIFE AND I WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND AS I WAS GOING INTO A CURVE I LOST MY POWER STEERING ALMOST HIT THE BANK AND SINCE THEN I CANT EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING GOING I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE GOT INJURED OR EVEN WORSE KILLED THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR THEY DO AND THEY SUE GM FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND WHEN I GO TO THE DEALER SHIP I WILL NOT PAY FOR IT AND IF I DO GM WILL HEAR ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

WHEN I START MY CAR I GET 3 ERRORS "POWER STEERING. SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF." I AM ABLE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL THE ELECTRIC SIGNAL SENDS TO THE EPS SYSTEM SO I AM ABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED BACK OFF. BECAUSE THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IT DOESNT SEND MESSAGE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR AND CAUSES THE POWER STEERING NOT TO WORK. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA ID 10499437 AND 10479698. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS AN EXISTING RECALL WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 AND NOT JUST THE G5. *TR

I JUST FOUND OUT THE 'STEERING WHEEL TORQUE IMPACT SENSOR' IS DEFECTIVE AND THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I START MY CAR I GET 3 ERRORS BECAUSE OF THIS ONE SENSOR, "POWER STEERING. SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF." I AM ABLE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL THE ELECTRIC SIGNAL SENDS TO THE EPS SYSTEM SO I AM ABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED BACK OFF. BECAUSE THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IT DOESN'T SEND MESSAGE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR AND CAUSES THE POWER STEERING NOT TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN IN PARK THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS BACK AND FORTH BY ITS SELF AND THE JERKING CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. I HAVE NOT GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT YET AND PLAN ON PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP TOMORROW, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE HAVING. IM SURE IF I WOULD HAVE LET IT GO A FEW MORE DAYS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, OR THE CAR WOULD HAVE JERKED SO BADLY IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE ESC OFF AND POWER STEERING WARNING SENSORS WOULD ILLUMINATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND ONLY THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS COULD BE USED. THE HEAD LAMPS WERE REPLACED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAVE REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS ONCE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THEY HAVE JUST BURNED OUT AGAIN. IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE THAT I SHOULD KEEP HAVING TO CHANGE OUT HEADLIGHTS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE DUE TO HOW THE CAR WAS MADE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES A RECALL. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEPT GOING OUT ON BOTH SIDES. OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIME AT NIGHT REQUIRING THE CONTINUOUS USE OF HIGH BEAMS. AFTER REPLACING THE BULBS WITH RECOMMENDED WATTAGE 3-4 SEPARATE TIMES OVER A 5 MONTH TIME SPAN TOOK CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE FOUND THAT THE BULB CONNECTORS WERE MELTED DUE TO THE TERMINAL BEING SPREAD, AND THE HIGH AMPERAGE REQUIRED TO RUN HEADLIGHT CAUSED HEAT TO BUILD UP AND MELT CONNECTOR. HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR, SOCKET, AND BULBS (4TH SET OF BULBS IN 5 MONTHS) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. QUESTION QUALITY AND CORRECT ENGINEERING OF ELECTRICAL USED FOR HEADLIGHTS. *TR

LEAKING SUNROOF/MOONROOF ISSUE: THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FRONT SEAT NEAR THE INTERIOR LIGHT SWITCH AND SUNROOF BUTTON AREA. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS. THEY STATE YOU MUST PAY A BOGUS DIAGNOSTIC TEST FEE ONLY TO TELL YOU THERE IS A BACK UP IN THE SUNROOF RUNOFF DRAIN AREA THAT CAUSES THE LEAK. STATED THEY NEEDED TO CLEAN THE DRAINS. AFTER THEY "CLEAN/ UNCLOG THE DRAINS, THE NEXT RAINY DAY COMES AND THE LEAK IS BACK. I HAVE VIEWED SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES SEARCHING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE AS THIS LEAK IS DROPPING WATER ON THE INTERIOR CONSOLE WHERE THE DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK AREA IS. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A MECHANICAL ISSUE FURTHER IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND STAY ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY TO ME AND MY FAMILY BUT CANT SEEM TO GET GM TO FEEL THE SAME WAY WITH PAYING THE BILL. I SEEN YOU HAD A RECALL FROM 2005 TO 2009 ON THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I THINK THE 2010 SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

DRIVING HOME FROM A LONG WEEKEND IN HIBBING MN, WE ARE DRIVING AT AROUND 10PM AT NIGHT WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND BRAKES WERE NOT REACTING AT ALL DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT BEEN RUNNING. WE WERE BOTH REALLY SCARED AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN THE LIGHTS ON EVEN AFTER I MANUALLY TRIED TO TURN THEM ON. CAR ROLLED TO A STOP I SLOWLY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE TO HELP THE VEHICLE STOP AS I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN IT DID RESTART. CAR HAD PLENTY OF FUEL, I HAD JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY ROUGHLY 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THAT HAPPENING. SO I KNOW IT WAS NOT OUT OF FUEL OR A BATTERY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. *TR

THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY WERE GRABBING/HOLDING AND WERE MAKING A BUMPING SOUND. THIS OCCURRED WHILE GOING DOWN HILL OR STOPPING QUICKLY. A WEEK LATER THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. *TR

POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND ITS GOING TO COST $1200 FOR REPAIR FOR NEW STEERING COLUMN AND MODULE. GM HAS SAME RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE G6 THAT HAS SAME ISSUES.I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ADVANTAGE THAT GM SOLD ME AND THEY WONT COVER THE STEERING COLUMN. I THINK GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. *TR
