2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BARELY BEEN WORKING. EVER SINCE I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THEM AND HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED PLUS WIRING REDONE MORE THAN 3 TIMES. EACH TIME MY LOW BEAMS GO OUT. IT STARTED WITH ONE WORKING AND ONE NOT, AND QUICKLY LED TO BOTH GOING ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS, ALONG WITH MY FRIENDS MOM HAVING THE SAME EXACT CAR, DIFFERENT YEAR MIND YOU BUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS AND CAN'T COME ACROSS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR GM. MY INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY LIGHTS, AS THEY WON'T WORK NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FIX THEM. MY HIGH BEAMS DO SO I'VE BEEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THEM. I'M MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL MAJOR ANXIETY AND UNEASE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

HAVE REPLACED BULBS IN HEADLIGHTS AND THE CONNECTORS YET THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL STILL NOT TURN ON HAVE TO USE BRIGHTS AND THEY SOMETIMES DONT WORK. THE FUEL SENSOR ON THE GAS TANK KEEPS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND CAUSING ENGINE TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS COMING ON WHEN ALL BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH CALIPERS AND ROTORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL DINGING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ALL THE OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN GIVING MY WIFE ISSUES WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, ABS SENSOR COMES ON, AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR START TO DIM. THIS HAS CAUSED HER TO NEARLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A POWER ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS MORE BEHIND THE ISSUE. WHENEVER I CALLED MY GM DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSORS IN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES. SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY GM OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND HAD TO CALL THEM DIRECTLY TO FIND OUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE, MY VEHICLE HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES IN A CERTAIN PATTERN WHEN ABOVE 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. ALL 4 STRUTS ARE NEW, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, SWAY BAR LINKS, CONTROL ARMS BOTH UPPER AND LOWER, ALL BRAKE ROTORS ARE NEW. CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY ANYONE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF (CODE GIVEN IS FOR RUNNING LEAN) BUT NO MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP HAVE FOUND WHY IT'S HAPPENING. ONE DEALERSHIP EVEN TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE CARS ECU. SO THEY TOLD ME TO VERIFY IF MY CAR HAD ANY RECALLS. PLEASE, ANY HELP ABOUT THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH NOW (TODAY'S DATE 5/9/19)

TAKATA RECALL, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN I HIT A BUMP. THE STEERING HAS NOT GONE OUT YET BUT IT FLASHES ALL THE TIME. I HAVE NOTICED RECALLS FOR THIS ON OTHER 06 PONTIAC G6 BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

I NOTICED AFTER I GOT THE CAR THAT THE GAS WAS GOING AWFUL FAST, SO I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A GAS LEAK AND IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY, AND I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AND MECHANICS DON'T WANT TO WORK ON IT BECAUSE OF THE AREA IT'S IN. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 1YR, AND IT'S REALLY ANNOYING AND TIRING.

POWER STEERING SHUTS ON AND OFF COMPUTER ON CAR SHOWS POWER STEERING CODE CODE FOR THE POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR IS GONE BAD CAR WILL HAVE NO POWER STEERING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME SHIMMYS ON FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING FROM POWER STEERING MOVING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS MECHANIC LOOKED IT OVER AND TORQUE SENSOR CODE IS COMING UP CODE CO545

I'VE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THE ISSUE I'M HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE, I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING. MY VEHICLE WHEEL BECOMES HARDS TO TURN WHEN REVERSING CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, I'VE BEEN TOLD MY EPS IS BAD. I TOOK MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP IN 2014 AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE ABOUT TORQUE RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING, I WAS TOLD THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED IN 2014 HAS EXPIRED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT DUE TO THE RECALL BEING FIXED AND NOW HAVING DEFAULTS. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY .

POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING NEARING CAUSING ME TO WRECK INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A BUSY STATE ROUTE IN DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS

TAKATA RECALL MY POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ON AND IT IS VERY HARD TO TURN WHEEL. SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR A FEW YEARS BACK IN REGARDS TO STEERING ISSUES. NEED HELP PLEASE

THIS IS A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH THE 3.5L LX9 V6 ENGINE. AT 90,000 MILES I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (AUTOMATIC). THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THE CAR REVERSES NORMALLY. ALL MAINTENANCE IS DONE BY MYSELF OR THE DEALER. I CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH GENUINE GM PARTS AND FLUID. I NOTICED THE FLUID WAS SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED AND VERY TINY PIECES OF METAL WERE IN THE PAN. THE TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPPED IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR AFTER CHANGING THE FLUID. OBVIOUSLY I WANT TO AVOID PUTTING IN A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. I WANT TO CHECK THE COMPUTER AND AND ANY ELECTRICAL PIECES THAT CORRESPOND WITH THE TRANSMISSION FIRST BEFORE I DECIDE. AS A SIDE NOTE,I DID BRING THE VEHICLE TO GM FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A CODE FOR A TRANSMISSION POSITION SENSOR. HOWEVER I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHICH IS WHAT THAT SENSOR IS SUPPOSE TO DO SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE SENSOR.

IN 2014 I RECIEVED A RECALL ON MY PONTIAC G6 2006 TO INFORM ME OF A FAULTY POWER STEERING. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. AT THAT TIME I WASN'T EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING. NOW IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS LATER MY CAR POWER STEERING IS LOCKING UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS, WHILE IN PARK. I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM GM MY CAR IS NEEDED FOR WORKING AND SCHOOL BUT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE FEAR THR CAR MAY LOCK UP ON ME AGAIN. FEB 22, 2019 WHILD PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WHERE COMING, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON... I PRAYED THE WHILE TIME WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD SON IN THE BACK SEAT.

THE LIGHT POWER STEERING IS ON. THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN. I BELIEVE IT IS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE, I'M AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. MY CAR WAS PARKED AND WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE OFF FROM MY DRIVE WAY THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND MY CAR HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE THEN. I HAD TAKEN IT LAST YEAR TO A SHOP IN LAS CRUCES TO FIX 3 RECALLS THAT MY CAR HAD. THAT IS WHY I'M WONDERING WHATS GOING ON WITH MY CAR.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN CAR IS BECOMING FAULTY AND UNSTABLE. WHEN LEFT IN AN IDLE POSITION, STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE TERRIBLY, EITHER THE WHOLE RIDE OR UNTIL IT LOCKS UP, AT WHICH POINT POWER STEERING IS LOST AND BECOMES HARD TO TURN. I COULD BE JUST TURNING THE CAR ON, SITTING IDLY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WILL DO THIS. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE TURNING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO TRY AND "FIX" THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN GUARANTEED, IT'S IFFY.

ELECTRIC HARTOP ROOF WILL NOT LATCH COMPLETLY AND WILL NOT ALLOW ACCESS TO TRUNK EITHER. HAPPEN AFETR HAVING CHEVOLET GARAGE WORK ON VEHICLE HAD OTHER ISSUES AS WELL . APPROX ON DATE HAD MULTIPLE DATES WORKED ON . KEY LOCKED THEY RPLCD KEY LOCK ASSY , THEN A CABLE WHICH WAS PROBLEM DID NOT ALLOW START AND SHIFTING OF VEHICLE. CHARGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND DID NOT FIX BUT CHARGED ALOT FOR PARTS SWAPPING TO TRY AND FIX ISSUE. ALSO CAUSED OIL LEAK AND NEVER REPAIRED STEERING ISSUE/POPPING IN FRONT END DRIVERS SIDE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF, TAKE THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN TURN IT ON TO GET IT TO UNLOCK. SOMETIMES IT WILL UNLOCK THE FIRST TRY OTHER TIMES IT TAKES TWO OR THREE TIMES. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE BACK AND FORTH ON ITS OWN WHILE IDLING.

MY CAR WAS FINE DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE AFTER 2.5 HOURS OF BEING THERE, A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING MY POWER STEERING WAS AT FAULT. NOW IT IS COMING BACK ON AND GOING OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY, MY SPECIFIC CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL AS THOUGH ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE OPENED FOR THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS CAR STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE.

I LOST MY POWER STEERING GM RECALL NUMBER 14772 WHICH IS THE SAME THAT I GOT SERVICED A WHILE BACK. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ANOTHER RECALL DUE TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I FEEL THAT THE NEW PART IS JUST AS FAULTY.

WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM SHOPPING, MY POWER STEERING FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD STEERING, BUT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I WAS MOVING AND ON A HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A SHOPPING TRIP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING MY POWER STEERING WAS AT FAULT. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH AND HAD DIFFICULTY STEERING. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED. IT THEN OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS WAS ELECTRONIC STEERING AND NOT HYDRAULIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITH OUT ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES.

POWER STEERING IS GOING IN AND OUT DURING DRIVING

I AM WRITING ABOUT OUR 2006 PONTIAC G6. IT HAD ALREADY HAD THE RECALL (#14772-ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) WORK COMPLETED IN 2016 WHEN WE EXPERIENCED SOME STEERING ISSUES. ON OCTOBER 29, 2018, THE VERY SAME PART THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED IN THE RECALL FAILED AGAIN, PULLING MY HUSBAND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS HE WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK. FORTUNATELY, HE AVOIDED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE TALKED WITH TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, THE ONE THAT DID THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR, AND ONE WE TRUSTED TO BETTER DEAL WITH THE ISSUE, AND ALSO WITH GM, WHO I FIRST TAGGED IN A TWEET, THEN THROUGH MESSAGING ON TWITTER. THEY OPENED CASE #8-4778293416. I HAD SOME MEDICAL WORK DONE RECENTLY, SO THE WORK HAS HAD TO BE PUT OFF LONGER THAN WE PREFER, BUT ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO DINSDALE CHEVROLET IN GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VERY SAME PART THAT WAS REPLACED PER THE RECALL WAS WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AND IT WILL COST US $715 TO GET THE REPAIR. WE HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO HAD THE RECALL DONE PROPERLY, AND HAD THE PART FAIL AGAIN, ONLY TO LEARN THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL A SECOND TIME. NOW, IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT REQUIRED A RECALL, BUT THE 'FIX' IS ONLY TEMPORARY, THEY ARE NOT REALLY 'FIXING' THE PROBLEM, ARE THEY? THAT'S LIKE MORE OF A BANDAGE, NOT A REPAIR, IF YOU ASK ME, AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO HAS BEEN PLACED INTO A POTENTIALLY HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO FIND OUT WHETHER PEOPLE HAVE

THE TRANSMISSION CABLE LINK HAS A SMALL PLASTIC BUSHING ON IT WHICH IN MY CASE BROKE OFF COMPLETELY AND WHILE MY CAR WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE. THAT MADE MY CAR BECOME UNABLE TO START AS WELL AS ROLL BY ITSELF ALMOST CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE AND COST ME MONEY IN TOWING AND CAR REPAIR FEES FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL REGARDING A SIMILAR ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH GENERAL MOTORS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SENSOR CAME ACROSS THE RADIO AND STATED 'POWER STEERING'. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND BEGAN TO TURN THE CAR, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY STIFF AS IF IT WAS LOCKED. MY STEERING WAS UNABLE TO LOCK, THEREFORE MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRIVABLE.

WHILE DRIVING I WILL GO TO EXELLERATE AND MY RPM GAGE WILL FLAIR UP AND THEN CRASH AND MY CAR WILL DIE OUT AND I WIL HAVE TO QUICKLY GET OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND TRY TO RESTART MY CAR IF THE RPM GAGE DOESN'T INGAGE THE CHANCES OF IT DYING WHILE DRIVING IS LESS BUT WHEN IT DOES I KNOW AT SOME POINT THE CAR WILL DIE. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SEMI TRUCKS DRIVING BEHIND ME.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PUMP IS GOING OUT. WHEN BACKING OUT FROM A PARKED POSITION THE STEERING IS TIGHT. RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING IS SO LOOSE THAT I CAN HARDLY CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

MY G6 2006 3.9 GTP TRANSMISSION WONT MOVE THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR THE TRANSMISSON SHOWED NO SIGN OF GOING BAD I HAVE TO PUT CAR IN MANUAL TO DRIVE IT ALSO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT POPS ON RANDOM TIMES FOLLOWED BY A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE.
