2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

I WAS ATTENDING MY AUNTS FUNERAL IN HACKENSACK, NJ. I RESIDE IN MARYLAND, SO ITS ABOUT A 5 HOUR DRIVE FOR ME. HALF WAY THERE, MY SISTER CALLED ME AND ASKED WHY WAS I RIDING MY BRAKES. I TOLD HER, I WAS NOT RIDING MY BREAKS. SHE INFORMS ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS FLASH ALL THE TIME. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HER. COMING HOME FROM THE FUNERAL, WE WITNESSED THE SAME THING. THEN SEVERAL DAYS LATER, I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO SIT AT FOODLION FOR ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES, BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN GEAR. I CALLED GM 800-620-7668 AND TRIED TO ISSUE A COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT I HAPPEN TO SEE THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. MY ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING, AGAIN I CALLED GM AND I WAS BRUSHED OFF. I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM AND NOT MY BANK ACCOUNT. *TR

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILS TO WORK. UNBELIEVABLY DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROL CAR. MECHANICAL CLICKING SOUND HAS BEEN HEARD SINCE CAR HAD 14000 MILES. DEALER INSISTS THIS IS NORMAL. *TR

THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BROUGHT IT, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO INTO A LEFT TURN ON TO THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO A SOFTBALL GAME, WAS GOING 65 ON THE FAST LANE, AND ALL OF SUDDEN I READ POWER STEERING ON THE RADIO, THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT THE GAS DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND MY WHEEL WAS TENSED, THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE LEFT SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THIS AM. ON MY WAY TO WORK I NOTICED A LOT OF GAS WAS COMING OUT OF VEHICLE. PARKED MY VEHICLE WENT TO WORK AND CAME OUT. VEHICLE HAD STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND UNDER VEHICLE THERE WAS A LOT OF GAS. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THE PLASTIC PART ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT CONNECTS HOSE WAS CRACKED/BROKEN. THERE IS CURRENT,Y A RECALL FOR 2007 MODELS AND UP BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE PLASTIC CONNECTORS ARE THE PROBLEM AND ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK AT TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. HE SAID THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR NEEDED RECALIBRATED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED (3) TIMES. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT MALFUNCTIONING LIGHT ON WITHOUT BRAKES PRESSED GO OFF WHEN PRESSED CAN NOT SHIFT VEHICLE FROM PARK WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL HARD. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SAFETY ISSUE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM OF MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 KEPT GOING OUT. EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ONCE THE WIRES ON THE BACK OF THE CONNECTOR WERE IN A CERTAIN POSITION THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON ONLY TO GO RIGHT BACK OFF. *TR

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND MY POWER STEERING CUT OUT. I ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO A POLE, BUT WAS ABLE TO TUG AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND AVOID THE POLE. I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO REST THE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS OCCURRED COUNTLESS TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AT LEAST 20 TO 30 TIMES. *TR

AIR BAG ERROR MESSAGE SHOWS. NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. DEALER SAYS CORROSION ON COILS AND WIRES. THIS IS ALSO AFFECTING THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR MODEL MY CAR IS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING (RECALL #80317 SUMMARY: GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. CONSEQUENCE: 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.) AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORM ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND SEND ME ON MY MERRY WAY WITH NO HELP OR OTHER SOLUTIONS BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND I'M TO THE POINT WHERE I'M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE THING AND THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. MINE IS THE 2006 2 DOOR GT I'M NOT SURE WHICH MODELS WERE INVOLVED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL BUT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS WELL. EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED HAS BEEN A GM AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS ONE AND IT HAS REALLY PUT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. IF I COULD GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW I WOULD. *TR

FAMILY NOTICED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. INSIDE THE CAR, THE SMELL WAS LESS STRONG, BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. IN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND BOTH A FUEL LEAK AND A COOLANT LEAK AND REPAIRED BOTH. WHEN I TOOK BACK THE VEHICLE, I COULD STILL SMELL IT AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WAS RESIDUAL. AFTER A WEEK, THE SMELL WAS JUST AS STRONG AND I RETURNED IT. THEY WASHED THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SAID THAT WOULD DO IT. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I RETURNED IT AND THEY DROPPED OUT THE FUEL TANK (AND FORGOT TO REATTACH IT!), BUT STATED THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE. THEY WASHED IT AGAIN AND SAID IT WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT PONTIAC'S FUEL PUMP. I NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS (RECALL 09V-419), BUT NOT 2006 (YET). ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH GM THE 2006 G6 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALL 09V-419. I AM SURPRISED THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY, BUT APPARENTLY, IT IS A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO THE FUEL PUMP AREA. PLEASE ADD 2006 TO THE RECALL! *TR

SAME COMPLAINT AS OTHERS WITH PONTIAC G6 AND BRAKE LIGHTS. WHILE I AM DRIVING OR IN PARK MY BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON. WHILE BRAKING, MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT OTHER DRIVERS HAVE STOPPED TO TELL ME THIS IS OCCURRING. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS WHILE DRIVING IN WORK TIME TRAFFIC WHERE VEHICLES TEND TO BE ALMOST BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THE OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW THAT I AM BRAKING BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. ADDITIONALLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS SPORADICALLY. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT PONTIAC AND NEITHER ACKNOWLEDGE THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD WORK SPORADICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED, THEN GO OFF WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED. ALSO DIFFICULTY SHIFTING VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. *TR

FUEL PUMP HAS A CRACK IN THE TOP AND IS LEAKING FUEL WHILE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT RUNNING. VERY DANGERUOS DEFECT. *TR

STEERING LOCKS UP, STEERING WHEEL JUMPS AND JERKS WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. *TR

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 AND WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, THE DASH WOULD SAY CHECK GAS CAP. I BOUGHT LIKE 3 OR 4 NEW GAS CAPS AND THE WARNING CONTINUED. WHILE MY CAR IS PARKED, A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE CAN BE SMELLED. SEEMS PRETTY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THEY TOOK IT APART THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS BROKEN ALSO. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD, POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING CAR TO NOT TURN SHARP CORNER EASILY ALMOST GOING INTO DITCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000. *TR UPDATED 04/30/13*LJ

BRAKES LIGHTS WILL OF THE SUDDEN COME ON, DEACTIVATING CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON CONTINOUSLY. BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF WITH THE TAP OF THE PEDAL BUT WILL THEN COME BACK ON. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND TROUBLES STARTED IMMEDIATELY. FIRST THING WAS WHEN YOU WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD MAKE A POPPING NOISE, WELL RETURNED IT A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A CAP , THAT USE TO BE METAL BUT ARE NOW PLASTIC WEARS OUT , NOTHING DANGEROUS BUT ANNOYING. WELL THAT WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE SOME KIND OF A ROD WAS REPLACED. THEN IT ALWAYS SMELLED OF ANTI FREEZE. AND WOULD LOSE IT, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAK. WELL AFTER HAVING IT IN HAVING 2 RADIATORS PUT IN IT, IT STILL DID LOSE FLUID. UNTIL RECENTLY I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE A LADY LEFT HER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND RAN OFF AND LEFT IT IN THE MIDDLE LANES COMING OFF OF A BRIDGE A MAN SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND I HIT THE SIDE OF HIS BUMPER , AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND I GOT A NEW FRONT END AND A NEW RADIATOR AGAIN. STILL LEAKED FLUID. MY HUSBAND AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE LEAK AND BOUGHT A PART AND FIXED IT HIMSELF. PRETTY GOOD AFTER 3 RADIATORS AND ALL THE TECHS WORKING ON IT OVER THE 6 YRS, HE HAD TO FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP RIGHT AFTER I GOT IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU WOULD TAKE OFF, IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT SKIPPED A GEAR. BUT IF I SHIFTED W/THE STANDARD SHIFT IT WOULDN'T DO IT. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION TRAY AND ALL WAS FINE. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING, THEY STILL SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. BUT TO THIS DAY ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK IT WILL STIL

STEERING LOCKS UP; WHILE DRIVING MAKING TURNS WHEEL LOCKS, IN STREET AND IN HWY GOING AROUND 45MPH ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. VERY DANGEROUS... *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AS IF I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE. HOWEVER WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY CAR ARE ON AS IF I'VE PRESSING THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, AGAIN ONCE I ACTUALLY DO PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEY TURN OFF. SO MY BRAKES ARE ON WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL, AND ARE OFF WHEN I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR / MODULE LOCKED UP ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, THAT G.M.C HAD RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULD ONLY FIX PART OF PROBLEM AFTER SAYING THEY WOULD FIX ALL OF IT, SO THE CAR STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAD NOT MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT, WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE LUBRICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V036000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A 25MPH CURVE, POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AT THE END OF THE TURN. BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF CONTROL, I HIT A GUARD RAIL. NO INJURIES OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST ASSEMBLY AND MODULE LOCKED UP NEARLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I CAN'T DRIVE NOW UNTIL IT'S BEEN CORRECTED BY PONTIAC. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND JUST MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASNT USING THE BRAKES AND WENT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING USED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, VERY FRUSTRATING, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT! I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T MADE AT A PARTICULAR LOCATION, IT DIDN'T FALL UNDER A RECALL THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN SHE TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTED HIS VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING DID NOT ACTIVATE. HE HAD TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIME BEFORE THE POWER STEERING ACTIVATED. AFTER THE POWER STEERING WAS ACTIVATED THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,453.

STARTED NOTICING A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER A WHILE THE SMELL BECAME STRONGER AND WE COULD SMELL IT A DAY AFTER WE HAD EVEN DRIVEN THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND IT IS ACTUALLY LEAKING GASOLINE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS CAR RELIGIOUSLY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND OTHER YEAR MODELS. ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH GM THE 2006 G6 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALL 09V-419 WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OCCURS JUST FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR AN HOUR AND WENT OUT. IT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR A FEW DAYS, AND CONTINUED TO BE INTERMITTENT. NOW THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" MASSAGE IS BEING DISPLAYED. THE CARS LISTED IN THIS RECALL ARE 2006 PONTIAC G6 64100131 - 64146959 ( THAT'S THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN). OUR CAR IS IN THE 64200000'S. I BE-LEAVE THIS CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHERS DUE TO THE FACT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THIS RECALL NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. ALSO NO NOTICES WERE SENT TO US ON ANY OF THE RECALLS. GM IS REALLY LACKING IN CUSTOMER SAFETY AND CARE. WE ARE TAKING IT IN TO A GM DEALER TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OTHER G6 2206 BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED. ALSO I AM HAVING AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FORCE AND HOPE THAT IS COMES OUT OF PARK. AGAIN G6 2006 WAS RECALLED AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO THOSE VIN NUMBERS. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THAT SAFETY AND FAULTY PIECES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL THAT SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE WERE COVERED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO BESIDES CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY TO HAVE THESE ITEMS FIXED UNDER THE RECALLS THAT WERE ISSUED FOR G6 2006 PONTIACS. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SHE NEEDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V417000 (AIR BAGS ). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

AS MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING..TROUBLE GETTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR FROM PARK,HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE LIGHTS WORK IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION AND 3RD BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKES..HELP PLEASE..THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY AND MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH..MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED ON THE GM RECALL. MY VIN NUMBER WAS ABOUT 1,000 CARS AFTER THE RECALL.I AM GOING TO A GM DEALER AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD A NEW BRAKE PEDAL COMES WITH THE BRAKE SENSOR..I DO NOT WANT TO THROW A TON OF MONEY NOT KNOWING THE EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

CID LIGHT CHIMES INDICATING POWER STEERING AND CHECK GAS CAP. TOOK CAR TO DEALER REQUIRES MODULE TO BE REPLACED COST 600.00. SPOKE TO PONTIAC MY VIN WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS PART OF A RECALL BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS FROM A SPECIFIC PLANT THAT BUILT THE STEERING COLUMN. I WOULD THINK THAT ALL SPECIFICATIONS WERE PROVIDED AND BUILT THE SAME WAY. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH REGARDS TO THE POWER STEERING ON YOUR WEB SIGHT AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED BY PONTIAC. I BELIEVE CANADA ISSUED A RECALL WHY HAVEN'T WE (USA). I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND GET REIMBURSED IF THERE IS A RECALL. I CAN'T AFFORD NOR DO I THINK I SHOULD PAY TO GET AN IMPORTANT YET DEFECTIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED USED. IT COST 99.00 FOR THE ASSESSMENT THAT IS NOT REFUNDABLE. I SEE THAT THE IS A RECALL THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING TO EXPAND IN REGARDS TO THE PONTIAC G6 PERHAPS THE POWER STEERING OR SHOULD I SAY MANUAL STEERING SINCE THAT IS WHAT MY VEHICLE IS AT THE PRESENT TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE FUEL ODOR EMITTING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE ENGINE SOLENOID WAS REPLACED. THE FUEL ODOR CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WARNING SOUND CAME ON AND "POWER STEERING" ILLUMINATED ON MY SCREEN. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR ABOUT 50 MILES LIKE THIS. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FAILURE AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THAT THESE CARS HAD A FAULTY STEERING UNITS AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE FOR NOTHING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE REPAIR WOULD COST APPROX $600.00 AND THAT THE MILEAGE HAD EXPIRED FOR THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM 20K MILES OVER THE 150K CUT OFF. NO ONE NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WAS FAULTY OR I WOULD HAVE TOOK IN FOR THE REPAIR BEFORE THE CUT OFF.. FAULTY IS FAULTY NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES THE CAR HAS!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT CUSTOMERS! *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 STARTED EMITTING A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL OR IF THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR NOT. FIRST VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THERE WAS NOT A STEADY LEAK OF FUEL ON THE GROUND UNDER THE CAR. THE FUEL ODOR PROGRESSIVELY INTENSIFIED AND UPON THE SECOND MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND ABOVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR

THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE WHILE IN USE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

THE STEERING STARTED TO MAKE A POP/ CLUNKING NOISE. AND OCCASIONALLY THE POWER STEERING ALERT GOES OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS NOW. AND STILL HAPPENS. I CONTINUALLY HEAR MORE REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE AND CONCERNED NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND NONE KNOWS WHAT EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG AND WHY IT'S HAPPENING. I'VE ALSO READ ABOUT HIGH DOLLAR "FIX" BY GM MECHANICS JUST FOR THE ISSUE TO COME BACK WITHIN A YEAR. WE NEED A INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR FATALITIES HAPPEN! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. THE ODOR WAS ALSO NOTICEABLE IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,568.

I'VE RECEIVED BUT CAN'T LOCATE DOCUMENTS INDICATING THAT THE STEERING COLUMN IN 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS PROBLEMS. THE STEERING COLUMN FREEZES UP AND I CAN'T TURN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE AND DANGEROUS, IN FACT EVERYONE REFUSES TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IT'S ESPECIALLY BAD DURING THE FALL, WINTER AND SPRING SEARSONS, NOT SO MUCH DURING THE SUMMER. I HAVE MY GRANDKIDS IN CARS AND AM SO AFRAID THEY WILL BE INJURED. *TR

SO WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED MY PONTIAC, I LOVED THE CAR, BUT THEN RIGHT AWAY AS I WOULD TURN I COULD HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY COULDN'T HEAR IT AT THE TIME OF SERVICE OR WHAT EVER THE INCIDENT WAS. OVER THE YEARS, I WAS BACK AND FORTH WITH THE MATTER AND NOW IT HAS OBVIOUSLY GOTTEN WORSE. THEN THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME UP WHERE MY RADIO IS AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I FIGURED THAT IT NEEDED MORE FLUID. WELL, THERE IS NO RESERVOIR ON THE CAR ANY WHERE, I HAD 2 MECHANICS LOOKING EVERY WHERE AND NOTHING. AND RECENTLY OUTTA NO WHERE AS I AM DRIVING IT JUST COMPLETELY LOCKS UP ON ME!! NOT ONLY IS THIS VERY DANGEROUS,BUT EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN I HAVE MY 4YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR!! SO I WENT ON A PONTIAC WEB SITE AND THE FORUM SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE PONTIAC DOESN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY ISSUE TO RECALL IT! WHILE I THINK IT IS!! *TR

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING I LOSE POWERING STEERING. I HAVE TALKED TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED THE MILEAGE THAT WAS SET. THIS PROBLEM WAS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM BEFORE THE MILEAGE THAT WAS SET. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SINCE IT WENT AWAY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON I THOUGHT IT WAS NO BIG PROBLEM. IT THEN AGAIN HAPPENED THE FOLLOWING MONTH AFTER THAT INCIDENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I95. I THEN DID A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN AFFECT SINCE 2007 AND THIS IS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. GM IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT IS I CAN'T GET FIXED JUST BECAUSE THEY DID A POOR JOB IN PUTTING THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC EFFECTIVELY ABOUT THE FAULT. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS. *TR
