2007 Pontiac G5 complaints

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G5 URAD WITH 32000 MILES ON IT, WE BOUGHT IT NEW. IN FEB 2010 MY SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND AS HE WENT AROUND A SHARP BEND IN THE ROAD, HE STATED HE FELT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR SLIDING INTO GUARD RAILS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE, THEN WE GET A RECALL FROM PONTIAC ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM . I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT , THEY HAD A INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR LOOK AT IT AND A GIRL NAMED BRANDY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS HER DECISION NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ASKED WHAT HER QUALIFICATIONS WERE AND SHE SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT HER EDUCATION WAS. *TR

JUST AFTER WARRANTY OF 3 YEARS WITH ONLY 44K, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND LEFT TURN LIGHT OF MY 2007 PONTIAC G5 BURNED. THE LIFE OF THE BULBS CANNOT BE THIS SHORT, GM SHOULD INVESTIGATE WHY THE BULBS SO EASY TO BE BURNED. *TR

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING APPROX 40 MPH. PARKED VEHICLE AT WORK, STARTED AFTER SHIFT AND POWER STEERING RESUMED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD FAIL IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE POWER STEERING ICON ILLUMINATING ON THE WARNING PANEL. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND WOULD PROVIDE NO ASSISTANCE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G5, THE POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT ON THE VEHICLE. I'VE NEARLY HAD 3 ACCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS MY ONLY FOR OF TRANSPORTATION. ONCE I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL, I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I COULD NOT HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED UNTIL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM. ALL I HEAR IS THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I AM DRIVING SLOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SUDDENLY, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

WHILE BRAKE APPLIED ON MY G5 THE STEERING SHAKES. TOLD ROTORS NEEDED "TURNING". WHEN MECHANIC WENT INTO THE BRAKES HE FOUND NO BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WARPED AND CALIPERS HAD A RIP IN THE RUBBER BOOT LEAKING FLUID! THEN HE TELLS ME I'M LUCKY I DIDN'T LOSE BRAKES AND CRASH!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND I'M AN FIREFIGHTER/EMT WHO NEEDS TO GET TO WHERE SHE'S GOING WHEN SOMEONE LIFE IS ON THE LINE!! WOULD APPRECIATE IT NOT BEING MY OWN!! NOW I KNOW WHY PONTIAC IS OUT OF BUSINESS!! *TR

LONG DISTANCE TRIP WITH POWER STEERING NOT WORKING AT VARIOUS TIMES (G5, 2007). WAS GOING TO HAVE DEALER EVALUATE UNTIL SEEING JUST THIS MORNING 03/02/2010 THAT A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING WAS BEING ISSUED. ANYWORD WITH REGARD TO POWER STEERING RECALL. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING. SHE MAY BE IN A SCENARIO THAT COULD MAKE THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT. POWER STEERING IS DISPLAYED ON DASH. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G5. STEERING GAVE OUT TWICE CAUSING NEAR COLLISION BOTH TIMES, BRAKE FAILURE AT TIMES. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES ARE FINE SOMETIMES THEY CANT EVEN SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. DASH LIGHTS, ALL GAUGES, SIGNAL LIGHTS, RADIO, HEATER FAN, REAR DEFROST COMES ON AND GOES OUT RAPIDLY AT TIMES CAUSING INSIDE OF CAR CABIN TO FILL WITH SMOKE. GM CLAIMS THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT NONE OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SAFETY ISSUES. THE CAR HAS ONLY 44000KMS ON IT. THERE WAS 42000 WHEN THESE PROBLEMS STARTED GETTING SERIOUS. THEY SAY THE HAVE THE STEERING PROBLEM FIXED, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR BACK LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW AS IT ENDS UP IN THE GARAGE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. THE CAR DUPLICATED THE PROBLEMS FOR THE MECHANIC AT THE GM DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. THE GAVE THE CAR BACK WITH THE PROBLEMS AND SAID THAT I AM STUCK WITH IT. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT FILLING UP WITH SMOKE THEY SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN GET OUT AND LET IT BURN. EASY FOR THEM TO SAY....IT IS MY FAMILY THAT IS IN THIS CAR INCLUDING TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS. SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF GM'S JUNK THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROAD. ANY HELP IN THESE MATTERS WOULD GREATLY BE APPRECIATED. *TR

ON 10/3/09, HAD FUEL LEAK ON 2007 PONTIAC G5. FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED. ON 12/8/09, SAME VEHICLE HAD A LARGER FUEL LEAK AT WHICH TIME THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G5. IN DECEMBER 2009 MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THIS CAR HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT. THERE IS NO REASON THAT MY POWER STEERING SHOULD BE GOING OUT. NOW, IT GOES OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR, AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. I DO THIS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES A DAY. I READ WHERE GE SUED THEIR POWER STEERING SUPPLIER, SO WHEN ARE THEN GOING TO FIX OUR CARS! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 1 MILE SHE NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING RESUMED AND BEGAN WORKING PROPERLY FOR 1 MILE BEFORE THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 66,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT BECAME HARD TO STEER AND THE DIGITAL READ OUT ON THE PANEL ADVISED THERE WAS A POWER STEERING FAILURE. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WORKED FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW, LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY APPROXIMATELY 38,700 MILES. *TW

LOSS OF POWER STEER AT 22,000 MILES AND LESS THAN 1 MONTH BEYOND 36 MONTHS... OUT OF WARRANTY. TOLD ELECTRIC MOTOR OR STEERING COLUMN NEED REPLACEMENT...OVER $1200 TO REPAIR. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE. *TR

POWER STEERING LIGHT TURNED ON DASH AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. SON WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT SO SPEED WAS LOW AND HE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. IF THIS HAD BEEN AT A HIGHER SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 36,000 MILES ON IT. SON IS SUPPOSE TO GET AN APPT TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK. IT SEEMS THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION. SEEMS VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THE FORD COBALT, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME CAR AS THE G5, IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE TO DATE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 42,000.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (PONTIAC G5 2007) STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING CAR. IT WILL OCCUR A RANDOM INTERVALS AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. OF COURSE THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD AND DANGEROUS TO DO SINCE YOU HAVE HARDLY ANY CONTROL OF THE CAR. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SEEKING REPAIRS. *TR

I NEED THIS INVESTIGATED PLEASE !!!!!!!I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G5 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ERRATICALLY. THE RPM WILL JUMP UP WHILE I'M DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT SPEED UP AND RED LINED AND LURCHED INTO THE INTERSECTION. THANK GOD EVERYONE AVOIDED EACH OTHER. IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR !!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING AND I WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY A SEMI !!! I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE HAS FOUND ANYTHING!! THERE WAS A MECHANIC THAT HAD IT CUT UP SOME WHEN HE DROVE IT BUT SAID IT WAS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AND IT IS RANDOM DOING IT. WE HAVE TRIED PUTTING IT IN THE SAME SITUATIONS TO GET IT TO DO IT SO THE MECHANICS CAN SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES,BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK !!!!! I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND WANT SOMETHING DONE !!!!! IF MORE OF THESE CARS ARE DOING THIS SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE !!!! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS INVESTIGATED PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

POWER STEERING PROBLEM IN PONTIAC G5 - DRIVES NORMAL DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY (STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH). *TR

THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I AM TIRED AS ?!@#$% GOING THROUGH THIS RECURRING PROBLEM EVERY FEW WEEKS. I HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN THE SHOP OR GONE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE MY CAR IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS AT LEAST 8-10 TIMES. ALTHOUGH, THE CAR GETS TEMPORARY FIX, THIS CONCERN IS A PAIN AND REALLY AGGRAVATED. ALSO, CONSIDERING THE DEALERSHIPS USES POOR QUALITY MATERIALS OR SHALL I SAY CHEAP PARTS I AM RIGHT BACK AT SQUARE ONE. THE POWER STEERING LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT REPEATEDLY AND THE SERVICES TECH'S AND SERVICES MANAGERS TELLS YOU TO PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THEM SO THEY CAN SEE THAT THE POWERING STEERING IS OUT AND THEN MAKE THE DECISION THAT THE POWERING STEERING COLUMN HAS GONE OUT. ALTHOUGH THIS IS WHAT I AM TELLING THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I GUESS I SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT THE CONCERN IS BEING FIXED RIGHT? WELL HELL NO BECAUSE, I AM PAYING FOR EXTENDED SERVICES TO COVER CONCERNS LIKE THIS. I HAVE TO PUT MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY BY DRIVING A VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING BARELY ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I AM MAD AS?!@#$% AND I WANT SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM COMING FROM. I DON'T EVEN WANT THE CAR NO MORE BUT I AM STUCK! PONTIAC G5'S ARE A NICE LITTLE CAR FOR A ONE PERSON BUT IF I COULD GET OUT OF THIS CAR I WOULD! *TR

MY 2007 PONTIAC G5 IS HAVING POWER STEERING FAILURE AND IT IS HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 07/16/2009 DUE TO THIS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED "BRAND NEW" AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES THIS EARLY. THE ASHLAND, VA PONTIAC DEALERSHIP WANTS $100 TO LOOK AT IT. I KNOW THAT THEIR IS AN INVESTIGATION FOR THE PONTIAC G6'S, BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE. *TR

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING JUST CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NEVER CAME BACK ON. *TR

POWER STEERING MOTOR MODULE FAILURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL WHILE TURNING. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF DURING EACH RESTART ATTEMPT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,500.

MY G5 HAD ONLY 8,311 MILES AND WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THE BUNNIN DEALER HAD TO "MACHINE" MY ROTORS. 8,000 MILES LATER, IT STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AND PULLING TO SIDE. BUNNIN PLACED A "SHIM KIT" ON CAR. I HAVE 4-5 DIFFERENT RCPTS THAT I'VE TAKEN CAR IN ..DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD.. BUT NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY $800 TO "REPLACE MY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS" CAR NOW HAS 27,000 MILES.. AND BRAKES BARELY WORK.. ALMOST HIT SOMEONE OTHER DAY.. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTS GEARS, SHE HEARS A NOISE THAT INDICATES THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IN ADDITION, THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT ENGAGE SUCCESSFULLY, WHICH COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES OR PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,600. UPDATED 4/16/09 *CN UPDATED 04/21/09.*JB

THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 07 PONTIAC G5 GT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY FOR A PLASTIC PIECE OF THE RATCHET MECHANISM IN THE HANDLE BREAKING. IN ORDER FOR THE PARKING BRAKE TO BE REASONABLY EFFECTIVE ON A HILL, IT MUST BE VERY FIRMLY APPLIED. WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RATCHET ALREADY GIVING OUT ONCE, I'M WARY OF LEAVING MY CAR PARKED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR TO AID THE PARKING BRAKE TO AVOID A ROLL-AWAY. THE BRAKE CONTINUES TO BE INSECURE WHEN UNDER NOMINAL TENSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHILE DRIVING 40-45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING POWER AND THERE WAS A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL OCCASIONALLY. THE BRAKES ALSO FAILED AND SHE CRASHED INTO A POLICE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE ROTORS. AFTER THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD MADE THE REPAIRS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED A FEW DAYS LATER THAT THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE FINALLY AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR WAS SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED ALREADY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,188.

WHEN PULLING UP THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER TO SUFFICIENTLY HOLD THE CAR ON A GRADE, THE PAWL (PLASTIC PART) FAILED, AND THE LEVER WASN'T HELD MECHANICALLY IN THE 'ON' POSITION. TYPICALLY, THE PARKING BRAKE ON DISC-EQUIPPED REAR AXLES OF CHEVROLET COBALT/ PONTIAC G5 MUST BE VERY TIGHT TO EFFECT ANY SIGNIFICANT HOLD ON A GRADE. THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE OF ME, AND OTHER G5/COBALT DRIVERS -- WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. IT WAS REPAIRED FOR ME UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS EITHER REPLACED WITH A SIMILAR PART, OR A REDESIGNED ONE. *TR

LESS THAN 100 MILES AFTER MY BUMPER-TO-BUMPER COVERAGE RAN OUT, THE BUTTON ON SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN. MY KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED BECAUSE IT WON'T TURN BACK TO THE RIGHT POSITION. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH WERE SOMEONE MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF HER. HER NEW PONTIAC G5 HIT THE OTHER CAR HEAD ON ABOUT 25-30 MILES AN HOUR. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED WHICH ALLOWED HER HEAD TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WERE SEVERAL TEST WERE TAKEN. SHE IS LUCK THAT SHE HAS ONLY MINOR NECK PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAD OVER $4500 IN DAMAGE AND NEEDS NEW FRAME RAILS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAD REST BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCES. THE CONTACTS LOWER BACK TOUCHES THE SEAT, BUT HER UPPER BACK DOES NOT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT FASHION. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED A PHOTO OF THE DEFECT AND ALSO A REPAIR INVOICE TO STATE NOTHING DEALER CAN DO BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THE VEHICLE IS MADE. UPDATED 08/29/07 *TR
