2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

SCARIEST INCIDENT IN MY LIFE, LOST STEERING OF THE CAR AS I TURNED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC (45 MPH). I HAD TO USE FULL MUSCLE AND WEIGHT TO TURN THE CAR OUT OF THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SOMEONE WITH LESS MUSCLE WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN HEAD ON COLLISION. THIS INCIDENT IS RELATED TO GM'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS N140115. I DO NOT THINK GM IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. *TR

WAS FOLLOWING A CAR THEY WANT TO STOP AND I COULDN'T STOP AND REAR ENDED THE CAR. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL BACK AS HE CAME OUT OF A CURVE. THIS RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE BEING WRECKED AND TOTALED. *TR

I PULLED IN KROGERS PARKING LOT AND MY BRAKES WENT OUT THEN CAME BACK ON. I WENT INTO THE STORE CAME BACK NOW MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND MY CAR WON'T START. *TR

I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. FIRST, THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THEN, THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON. YOU CAN PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON AND THEY STAY ON, OR IT WILL TURN THEM OFF AND THEY WILL STAY OFF. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO TWO DIFFERENT AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS, INCLUDING THE ONE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. GM SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT LISTED ON THE WEBSITE. SO I CALLED GM AND THEY STATED I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE A MANUFACTURER DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS NOT A "LEGIT RECALL AS OF YET" AND THAT IF IT WAS FOUND TO BE PART OF THE RECALL THE COST WOULD BE REIMBURSED. I EXPLAINED TO THE GM AGENT ON THE PHONE THAT IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. SHE STATED I NEEDED TO WAIT FOR A "LEGIT RECALL" TO BE MAILED TO ME. THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM GM PREVIOUSLY IS THE SAME TYPE OF LETTER I HAD RECEIVED ABOUT THE OTHER TWO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE THAT ARE LISTED ON THE WEBSITE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS FOR. THE MALFUNCTIONING OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT THE TIME I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO OFF BECAUSE THERE WAS A CURVE COMING UP BEFORE I KNEW IT MY CAR JUST WOULD NOT STOP AND ENDED UP CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF A PICKUP. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START BRAKING UNTIL ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE HITTING THE OTHER VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG ALSO DIDN'T DEPLOY. THIS HAPPEN 3 WEEKS AGO NOW I AM PHYSICAL THERAPY BECAUSE OF THE INJURIES SUSTAINED IN ACCIDENT. THE RECALL CAME IN THE MAIL ABOUT A WEEK AFTER ACCIDENT. GO FIGURE PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD MY CAR AT A SHOP GETTING OIL CHANGE & THEY HAD MENTIONED THERE WAS A VOLTAGE ISSUE BUT SHOULD BE OK. *TR

OUT GETTING LUNCH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING. WHY ISNT THIS A RECALL FOR THIS VIN #? HOW DID THEY SEPERATE WHAT VIN # WERE OK AND WHAT ONES NEEDED TO BE RECALLED? *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED 2 SEPARATE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE REGARDING THE POWER STEERING, ONE IN 2012 AND ONE IN JUNE OF 2014. BOTH RECALLS CLAIMED THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED IN JULY OF 2014 (2) MORE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, REGARDING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE, AGAIN STATING THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY FIANCE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IT FRIGHTENED ME TO THING THAT HER TRANSMISSION CABLE COULD GO, SO I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT HOW LONG UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, SINCE I WORRY ABOUT HER SAFETY. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, ONE OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 YEARS, AND TO IGNORE THE RECALL LETTERS, THAT THEY DON'T MEAN MUCH AND THEY ARE "FORCED" TO SEND THEM OUT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO WAIT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE FOR THE PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE, AND NOT TO WORRY UNLESS I RECEIVE MORE LETTERS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY. I HAVE ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT NO LUCK. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS SEVERELY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WHEN I AM AT A STOP AND PUSH THE GAS TO GO THE CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING. USUALLY THE SPEED IS BETWEEN 0-15 MPH. I HAVE STOPPED PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ANY CAR BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ENOUGH SPEED TO GO FAST ENOUGH AND IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT BY A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING SHOWING AS WRONG, I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A DEALER AND AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SUSPECTED AN ISSUE TO BE MODULE OR SOLENOID THAT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO FIX AND THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT IS THE ISSUE. BOTH MECHANICS DROVE THE CAR, COULD FEEL THE ISSUE BUT COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THERE IS AN HORRIBLE ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND NO ONE CAN PIN POINT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. AND NOW THE SEAT WARMER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE KEEPS TURNING ON BY ITSELF. *TR

I RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AT THAT TIME THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS THE RACKET PINION AGAIN AND THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED THIS PART 3 TIME, AND IT WAS NOT FIXABLE. I WAS UNAWARE, THEY HAD CHANGED IT THE FIRST TIME. AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I HAVE ACTUALLY LOCATED A MECHANIC WHO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT IS NOT JUST THE RACKET PINION, BUT ALSO THE BRACKET AND JOINT.

2013: AUTOMATIC LIGHT OPENING DOOR BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR FEMALES DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS, EVEN WHEN PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY OR GOING TO CAR FROM HOME. I ALSO BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TURNING SIGNAL LEVEL. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THE BLINKER OFF AFTER TURNING, OTHERWISE MY BLINKER WOULD STAY ON THE ENTIRE DRIVE. IN MARCH, 2014, THE LEVER COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF, AND I HAVE TO SHOVE IT INTO PLACE BEFORE AND AFTER TURNING TO PROPERLY EXECUTE ANY TURN BECAUSE THE LEVER HANGS AFTER EVERY MOVEMENT. I BEGAN HEARING A "THUMPING" SOUND AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN APPLYING MY BRAKES.

WAS RAINING, CAR IS DEATH TRAP. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT IT HANDLES TERRIBLE, CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT, SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE.

I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG ALERT WHEN A PASSENGER WAS WITH ME WAS READING AIRBAG OFF THEN WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A RECALL WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAD THE CLOTH SEATS CHANGED TO LEATHER. THE RECALL DATE WAS OCT 31 2006 AND I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JULY I 2006 I BELIEVE. I 'AM SCARED TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE UP IN THE FRONT AND GM SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. RECALL I.D 47191THIS RECALL BEGAN ON NOV 6 2006 AND GM WAS TO REPURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED AND STILL THEY DON'T SEE MY VEHICLE ON THERE RECALL LIST.PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING COMPLETELY. THANK GOODNESS I WAS DRIVING INSTEAD OF MY WIFE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE IT FIXED BY A CERTIFIED GM DEALER. I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VIN. AFTER ANOTHER CALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE UPCOMING RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR MODEL AND THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING A REIMBURSEMENT FORM IN APRIL OF 2014, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. UPON MULTIPLE CALLS, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY MY LOCAL GM DEALER WHO ALSO TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VIN.I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR FIXING AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL. GM IS USING SOME VERY SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES........AND ALL OF THIS AFTER HAVING IT TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SIX MONTHS EARLIER FOR A TOTAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, WHICH SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AS WELL.... *TR

MY G6 JUST KEEPS HAVING ISSUES. I DON'T DRIVE IT A LOT SO I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF MILES ON IT FOR BEING A 2006 SO SOME OF THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR LIKE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME HAVE JUST COME UP. I DO NOT THINK IT IS DO TO AGE OF THE CAR; I THINK THEY SHOULD STILL FIX ANY DEFECTS WITH THE CAR. I LOVE PONTIAC'S I HAD A SUNFIRE BEFORE THIS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVE ANY RECALLS ON THIS CAR IN THE MAIL FROM GM FROM THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED IT IN JANUARY 2007. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIX MOST OF THE PROBLEMS LIKE THE SUN ROOF LEAK I HAD TO TAKE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES I LOSS COUNT. WHAT THEY SHOULD DO IS GIVE SOME CREDIT ON BUYING A NEW ONE AND SCRAPE THE OLD ONES. I PAID CASH FOR THIS CAR THINKING IT WOULD LAST ALONG TIME I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING IT. *TR

RECEIVING NOTICES FROM GM ABOUT RECALL #14116 BUT NO DEALER HAS THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL NOTICE. RECALL SAYS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING POSSIBLE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET REPAIRED. LOCAL DEALERS HAVE NO SOLUTION AND SIMPLY SAYS THE MFR. HAS NOT SENT THE PART. *JS
