2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

REAR DOORS WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT UNLOCK EITHER WITH DOOR SWITCH OR KEYLESS CONTROL. THIS CREATE A HAZARD IF A SMALL CHILD IS IN A REAR SEAT RESTRAINT, HAVE TO CRAW BETWEEN THE SEATS TO TRY AND REACH THE LOCKS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THEM. *TR

I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC G6, I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, AND REAR WHEEL-WELL, ALSO WOULD NOT START ON FIRST ATTEMPT, STARTS ON SECOND ATTEMPT . LOOKED ONLINE FOUND A RECALL ON 2007 PONTIAC G5 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V41900, IN HOT WEATHER STATES WITH OTHER GM VEHICLES , OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD ADDRESS IT, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEN NUMEROUS POST AND A HIGH FAILURE RATE OF A PLASTIC FITTING ON THE FUEL PUMP. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO GM AS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND A RECALL IN PLACE TO SAVE LIVES!!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE HIGHWAY THE IGNITION BROKE SO ENGINE LOCKED UP. WHO WANTS TO PAY $6,000.00 FOR A NEW ENGINE ON A 2006 CAR? THANK GOD I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. CAR IS A LOSS AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING- LETTER TO THE SECRETARY FROM CONSTITUENT RE FOR INFORMATION LETTER REGARDING THREE SEPARATE ISSUES WITH PONTIAC G6 (POWER STEERING, SHIFT CABLE AND WIRING CORROSION) AND LACK OF SOLUTIONS FROM GENERAL MOTORS (GM). *SMD

309 LITRE ENGINE GIVES AN ACCELERATION SQUEAL IN THE EXHAUST. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T COME UP WHEN YOU PRESS THEM DOWN AND THEN COME ON WHEN YOU'RE MOVING. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH A MOTORCYCLE BEHIND US. *TR

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 2006, I WAS DRIVING AT OR AROUND 25 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT WOULD NOT START. BEFORE IT SHUT OFF I HEARD SOME SORT OF SCREECHING SOUND. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. I BOUGHT IT PREOWNED WITH 63,000 MILES. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE WOULD DIE AFTER 73,000 MILES. *TR

THE PROBLEM CAME ABOUT SLOWLY AT FIRST, BUT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR EVEN WITH MINIMAL DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST IT WAS HARD ONLY TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WHEN GOING SLOW (LESS THAN 10MPH) AS IF THERE WAS LITTLE HELP FROM THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. IT PROGRESSED TO THE POINT NOW WHERE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL AT SLOW SPEEDS IN EITHER DIRECTION. IT IS A SERIOUS DANGER WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS ACROSS ON COMING TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY. *TR

DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. BOTH BULBS WERE CHANGED AND FUSES EVALUATED BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COMBINED WITH A STEERING PROBLEM NOTED IN A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE ON THE ROAD. *TR

THE POWER STEERING LOW CAME ON THE DASH BOARD A COUPLE HOURS LATER THE CAR WASNT ABLE TO TURN THIERS A RECALL FOR THIS ON G6 BUT SAY ITS NOT MY MODEL. *TR

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE. I PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT GAME ON AND THE WARNING BELL CHIMED. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AT ALL. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES COMING. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WITH GREAT EFFORT TO THEN MAKE ANOTHER RIGHT BACK INTO THE GAS STATION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS, BUT IN RECENT MONTHS HAS INCREASED IN SEVERITY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REPEATEDLY AND AM TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED AND SHOULD BE FINE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED VIN NUMBERS. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASION I NOTICE THAT IF YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY THE CAR WOULD BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVER ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND A CAR PULLED IN FROM OF ME. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID GETTING HIT, MY CAR BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO DIE. MY SON WAS GOING TO WORK ON 6/3/2014, SOMEONE PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM HE SWERVED TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT AND AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN, AND SPIN, AND SPIN OUT OF CONTROL HE HIT THE WALL SEVERAL TIME BEFORE STOPPING, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE TOTALED. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE CHECK FOR DEFECT BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MY FAULT OR MY SON WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

REFERENCE TO:NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10594629 JUST LOCKS AND "POWER STEERING" (NO KIDDING!) COMES ON THE RADIO W/CHIME. ALL OR NOTHING. YOU CAN STILL DRIVE WITH MAJOR ARM WORKOUT. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE YOUR DRIVING, WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE CAR AND TURN THE KEY OR EVEN IF YOU LEAVE IT WARMING UP AND COME BACK OUT. RIGHT NOW WITH ME IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERYTIME I TURN THE KEY AND EVEN IF IT STARTS OK IT COULD HAPPEN THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK OR BE FINE ALL DAY. *TR

GAS SMELL AT TANK. STARTED NOTICE 2-3 YEARS AGO. DO NOT NOTICE A DRIP. VERY NOTICEABLE AFTER START AND AFTER PARKING @ 40000 MILES. CONFIDENT IT IS THE CRACK IN FUEL PUMP LINE. HESITANT TO START FIRST TRY BUT WILL START SECOND TRY. *TR

ONCE AGAIN GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2006 PONTIAC G6'S FOR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, AND DIFFICULTIES GETTING THE CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS AND SHUT OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY DISENGAGE AS WELL. ONCE AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? THE SYMPTOMS I'VE EXPERIENCED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. BOTH RECALLS TO BE EXACT. THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS BUT I'M NOT COVERED AND THE GM REPS ARE NO HELP. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE REGARDLESS OF SPEED. GASOLINE RUNS DOWN TANK NEAR EXHAUST SYSTEM. PUMP IS NOT IN AN AREA OF THE CAR WHERE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS EXPECTED. *TR

I WAS GOING AROUND A CURB AND NOTICE THE WHEEL TURNING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THAN I SAW THAT MY RADIO SHOW IN RED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS A PROBLEM. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. IT WAS STIFF AND HARD TO MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND NOTICE THAT IT WAS NOT STIFF ANY MORE AND I COULD DRIVE THE CAR AS NORMAL. VERY AFRAID THAT IT WILL LOCK UP AGAIN. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TEST AND REPLACED WITH NEW PART CONTAINING A NEW STARTER AND STARTER RELAY. WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR TESTING ON THEFT AUTO SWITCH AND THEY REPORTED IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WILL START AT TIMES WHEN ITS READY ALL OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS WERE FINE. SO WHATS THE CAUSE BEHIND THE DELAY. IGNITION SWITCH! DOES SOMETHING HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE MATTER IS PROPERLY TAKING CARE OF. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL.... *TR

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WAITING TO TURN LEFT ONTO MY ROAD, AS I BEGAN TO TURN LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS BACK TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AT THE TIME. I THEN CAME TO A STOP AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL UNTIL I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REPEATEDLY BY PHONE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY POWER STEERING B/C MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THEIR RECALLS. THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT MY CAR AND ACT LIKE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I CALL. EVERY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED, SO I DO NOT SEE WHY MINE IS NOT ALSO INCLUDED. I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING MY CAR ALL TOGETHER AND FEEL THAT THE POWER STEERING ISSUES ARE VERY EXTREME THAT THEY MAY RESULT IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

WHY ARE THE PARTS FOR THE STEERING RECALL FOR THE PONTIAC G6 NOT YET AVAILABLE FROM GM? HOW MANY MORE CRASHES MUST TAKE PLACE? HAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BEEN FILED YET ON THIS MATTER? IF SO, HOW DO I ENTER MY NAME INTO THAT SUIT? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON OUR RADIO UNIT. I CLEARED IT AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AFTER THIS THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND IT SEEMED LIKE TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON SOLVED THE ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE IT HAPPENED FIRST AS IT HAPPENED QUITE SOME TIME AGO, BUT IT HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED SINCE. I NOTICED THE RECALL ON THE NEWS AND WAS DOING RESEARCH ON IT AND THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT IT. I HONESTLY SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT THEN. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,126 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,405. DR

AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR'S TAILS LIGHTS UP AND STAYS LITE EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PETAL IS BEING APPLIED. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR BEING DRIVEN. *TR

USED FROM HURD R.I MY PONTIAC G6 2 YEARS AGO AND ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING , THEY REPLACE SOMETHING BUT NEVER GIVE ME PAPER WORK THEN AROUND 8 MONTHS AGO THE HEATER BLOW WENT AND HAD TO REPLACE IT THE STEERING LIGHT ON DASH GO OFF AT LEAST 2 TIME A MONTHS THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT I NEED STEERING FLU I WAS TOLD YOU DON'T PUT THAT IN THIS CAR..AIR BAG MY SEATS ARE AFTER MARKET LEATHER SEATS AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT INDICATES THE SEAT IS ON THEY ALSO HAVE HEATED SEATS THAT WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO ..MY BRAKE THE I HAD IT CHANGED 4 TIME THIS PAST YEAR I BRING IT TO THE PLACE I BROUGHT IT AND THEY PUSH ME OFF AND SAY IT'S FINE. *JS

WHEN I TURN TO THE LEFT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL LOCK UP.

WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN, THE DISPLAY OCCASIONALLY WOULD DISPLAY POWERSTEERING. NOTHING SEEMED WRONG OTHER THEN THE MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. THEN ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWERSTEERING WHEN OUT GOING 45MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT BACK UP IN ORDER FOR THE POWERSTEERING TO WORK. THIS SINCE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. POWERSTEERING IS DISPLAYED EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON AND THE POWERSTEERING FREQUENTLY GOES IN AND OUT. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN MY CAR. I AM VERY VERY LUCK I HAVE NOT HARMED ANYONE ELSE OR MYSELF. I AM SCARED TO GET INTO MY CAR AND DRIVE IT BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE POWERSTEERING WILL DECIDE TO CUT OUT. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $800-1,000 TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART. I KNOW I AM JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I HOPE THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE GETS FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSES THOUSANDS OF INJURIES OR POSSIBLE FATALITIES. THANK YOU. *TR

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, LOSS OF STEERING, ALSO AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF. I AM UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. IT JUST HAPPENED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AGAIN. IT IS DANGEROUS AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING! MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 MONTHS LATER THAN THE RECALL IS THROUGH. OBVIOUSLY, ALL CARS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THEY TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN IGNITION BROKE AND THEN THE ENGINE LOCKED. PLEASE INCLUDE THIS IN THE RECALL. OR SHOULD I GET A LAWYER? *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 PONTIAC G6 (179,000 MILES) FOR MY SON ON APRIL 26, 2014. A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN THE POWER STEERING HAS LOCKED UP ON HIM, CAUSING HIM TO HAVE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR SO THE STEERING WILL AGAIN WORK.SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE THE CAR ON MAY 11, 2014. I LOOKED UP ON-LINE TO INQUIRER IF THIS WAS PART OF RECALL, BUT WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT IN RECALL. CALLED DEALER THEY STATED THAT GM HAS POLICY OUT THERE IF NOT ON RECALL THEY ARE ONLY FIXING VEHICLES UNDER 150, 000 MILES. HUH? SO BECAUSE THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN MORE, IT IS NOT COVERED BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THOSE COVERED. PLEASE HELP.ALL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED, MY CHILDS SAFETY IS ON THE LINE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT USED TO JUST GO OUT ON OCCASION. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THINK IT SHOULD BE SINCE IT GOES OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT TURNING LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL JERK PULLING RIGHT. I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING. MY CAR ENDED UP ON THE SIDEWALK OF LOWE'S TREES. I WAS SO AFRAID BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN. RIGHT THEN MY CAR BECAME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR HOME. THAT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE. MY ARMS AND HANDS HURT DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING IN ANY DIRECTION. *TR

THE 2006 PONTIAC'S BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE, AND THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. I'M NOT SURE THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS SCARY!!!!!! *TR

WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION (GOING STRAIGHT) I WAS COMING TO THE STREET I NEEDED TO TURN RIGHT ON AND MY STEERING LOCKED AND I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT GO STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER, TURN CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE STEERING RESET AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE TURNS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THE TROUBLE CODE ON THE CAR WAS CO545 WHICH INDICATED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. UPON RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING IN 2005-2006 AND MORE CURRENT PONTIAC G6 HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER THE 10 YEAR/150,000 MILE SPECIAL POLICY I WAS TOLD NO BASED ON MY VIN. THIS UPSET ME SINCE THERE HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN MANY REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING. *TR

CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WILL LOCK PUTTING THE CAR INTO STRAIGHT POSITION, WHILE IN TURNS, BENDS, CURES,. ETC. THIS HAS LEFT ME I N TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, NEARLY SIDE SWIPING CARS BESIDE ME, HEADING FRONT ON WITH CARS NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AND HAVE CONTROL. *TR

6/10: DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND LOST POWER STEERING. IN 9/10, RECEIVED LETTER FROM GM INDICATING ISSUE SO BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER FOR STEERING COLUMN REPLACEMENT. IN 10/10, DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, LOST ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING WITH INDICATOR ABOVE RADIO SAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURN CAR OFF, THEN TURN BACK ON AGAIN, TO REGAIN POWER. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BETWEEN 10/10 AND EARLY 12/10 AT WHICH TIME I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE TO MY NEPHEW WHO HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS. NO RHYME OR REASON TO OCCURRENCES AS WELL AS WHETHER THE CAR WOULD REGAIN ENGINE POWER OR NOT. I DID HAVE A HEAVY KEY CHAIN AT THAT TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF OUR SUBDIVISION ON A SMALL HILL WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS ABLE WITH DIFFICULTY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT A BLOCK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER. I DID NOT SEE ANY WARNING DISPLAYED OR HEAR ANY BEEP. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE SO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE VEHICLE NUMBER OR EXACT MILEAGE IS. I DID NOT RECALL HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL AND RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE IGNITION SWITCH IN SOME VEHICLES HAS RECEIVED A GREAT DEAL OF PRESS, BUT I DIDN'T RECALL ANY NEWS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL STEERING ISSUE. GM SHOULD HAVE WARNED OWNERS DIRECTLY OF THE POSSIBLE FAILURE. *TR

I WENT TO START MY CAR N IT HESITATED AS IF IT WOULD NOT KICK OVER... I RETRIED SEVERAL TIMES N IT SEEMED TO REV IT'S ENGINE HARDER THAN NORMAL. AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS IT KICKED OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DAYS SINCE. I HAVE HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE, BATTERY CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES N NOTHING SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED WRONG! FRUSTRATING.... TO SAY THE LEAST! *TR
