THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL, GM# 14772, WHICH COVERS THE PONTIAC G6 AND THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE COVERED? I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM!! IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY, INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

RECENTLY, I SAW AN ARTICLE FROM A LOCAL NEWS STATION REGARDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GOING AFTER LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIPS FOR NOT DISCLOSING OR FIXING RECALLS FOR CARS SOLD OFF OF THEIR LOT. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS. UPON PLACING MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I DISCOVERED THAT I HAVE THREE RECALLS THAT HAVE AFFECTED MY CAR, HAVING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND POWER STEERING. MY CAR HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ITS BRAKES FROM THE GET-GO, I EVEN WENT BACK TO WEBSMART TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH MY WARRANTY. MERE WEEKS AFTER GETTING IT "FIXED", THE ISSUES RETURNED AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS RECALL OR NOT. MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, IN THE LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO REGARDING THIS AND COULD USE SOME HELP. THANK YOU, MATT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DRIVER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

ON APPROXIMATELY 13 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS (WHILE ON A CITY STREET AT 25MPH, AND WHILE ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH) ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES GO CRAZY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO. 'POWER STEERING' MESSAGE AND 'LOW FUEL' LIGHT (HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS) WAS SHOWN ON THE RADIO MESSAGE CENTER, ALONG WITH WARNING SOUNDS, AND 'ERROR' WAS DISPLAYED IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. GAUGES CONTINUED FLUCTUATING REPEATEDLY FROM NORMAL AND/OR CORRECT RANGES, TO ZERO, AND CONTINUED SOUNDING/SHOWING WARNING SOUNDS AND ERROR MESSAGES FOR APPROX 5-6 MINUTES. THEN ALL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AND STAYED THERE, CAR ENGINE WAS CUTTING IN AND OUT AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, DID NOT HAVE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. PARKED CAR, SHUT OFF, REMOVED KEY, OPENED DOOR AND RESTARTED CAR. DROVE FINE (NO ISSUES) FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME RADIO STAYED ON AND ENGINE DID NOT CUT OUT, GUAGES RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES OF INTERMITTENT FLUCTUATING, ERROR MESSAGES DISAPPEARED FROM MESSAGE CENTER WITHOUT HAVING TO SHUT OFF CAR, BUT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS OFF AND I COULD NOT TURN BACK ON - TRACTION CONTROL WORKED AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED A SHORT TIME LATER. RECALL REPAIR FOR POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR WAS COMPLETED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, IN 2015. TWO MECHANICS IN AREA COULD NOT FIND CODES THAT WERE THROWN BUT STATE THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE PAR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON ONCE I CRANK THE CAR AND WILL NOT GO OFF ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT WILL WORK SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT ONCE THE CAR IS RUNNING. HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING YEARLY INSPECTION STICKER. I NOTICE THERE IS A RECALL ON 2006 PONTIAC G6 AIR BAGS FRONTAL. CONTACTED PONTIAC MAIN BRANCH AND STATED MY CAR WASN'T ON THE LIST OF THE RECALLS. RECALL ANNOUNCED: OCTOBER 31, 2006 NHTSA REFERENCE: #06V417000

POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO. DIFFICULT TO STEER. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING OF THE G6'S SO I TOOK IT TO A BUICK DEALER TO LOOK AT. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER DATE OF THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000). I HAD THE 23232310 SENSOR KIT AND 22837369 MODULE REPLACED. $1303.34. WHY IS MY CAR NOT COVERED WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS THOSE IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID MINE WAS MADE LATER WITH NEWER PARTS. BUT, IT STILL APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED THE SAME WAY. ARE THERE OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE? SHOULD MINE BE IN THE RECALL?

DUE TO A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR MY PONTIAC G6 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CORRECTIONS MADE. WHEN I SEARCH BY MY VIN NUMBER THERE ARE NO OPEN OR NEW RECALLS PRESENT. YET OVER THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY INFORMATION DISPLAY ON THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL CHIME AND DISPLAY "POWER STEERING". I DO NOT NOTICE ANY CHANGES WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CAR WHEN THE DISPLAY APPEARS. I HAVE PRESSED THE INFO BUTTON ONCE IT APPEARS AND IT THEN GOES AWAY FROM THE DISPLAY AND NO OTHER FUNCTIONING APPEARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY ON A RECALL IS MALFUNCTIONING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALLED PART (BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION) AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL LOCKING UP. AFTER FIXING THE RECALLED PART I HAVE PURCHASED A BATTERY, A CALIBER, STARTER, AND TWO HUBS. MY CAR IS STILL NOT WORKING IT WILL FUNCTION FOR A COUPLE OF MILES PERFECTLY, AND THEN IT RETURNS TO THE SAME PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WILL NOT GEAR UP THE CAR WILL BE ON DRIVE AND IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO CATCH, THEN THE CAR WILL LOCK UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE. SO I WILL HAVE TO GET A TOW SERVICE BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL LOCK THE CAR AND I CANNOT PUSH IT TO A SAFE AREA.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING IN NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN STARTING AND WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN, DOES THIS ON AND OFF.

POWER STEERING FAILS AND CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP RESPONDED TO WARRANTY UPGRADE AND HAD ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE CAR , BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH IN A CURVE.

LOST STEERING RESULTED IN HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS OBSERVED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR, STEERING RACK, AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V153000 (STEERING) AND 15V064000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN.

THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14E044000 (STEERING) AND 14V153000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL AND WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HAD ZERO POWER STEERING. SHE WAS ABLE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND HAD STEERING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE MORE BUT THEN THE SAME THING! WE HAD A RECALL DONE A YEAR AGO ON THE TORQUE SENSOR STEERING COLUMN - WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK WHEN PICKING UP THE CAR. NOW THEY SAY IT IS THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE - SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I'M GUESSING ANY PONTIAC G6 HAS POTENTIAL TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TORQUE SENSOR STEERING COLUMN AND PONTIAC DOES NOT CARE. *TR

FOUR MONTHS AGO, WE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH THE POWER STEERING. BORCHERDING BUICK SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD US THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING COLUMN, BUT, WAIT UNTIL IT ACTS UP MORE AND THEY CAN FIX IT. JANUARY 11, 2017 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE BORCHERDING DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US A LOANER AND TYPED IN THE REPAIR WORK. LATER THAT DAY, WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THE, THE SPECIAL COVERAGE IS OUT OF PARAMETER BECAUSE THE RECALL EXPIRED 1-31-2015. THE ITEM DEFECTIVE WAS THE POWER STEERING MODULE, WHICH GM AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED WHEN THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. WE FEEL IT IS UNETHICAL FOR GM NOT TO STAND BEHIND THE RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! JEFF BOYER V.P. OF VEHICLE SAFETY IN A PREVIOUS LETTER STATED, "HE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART, AND NO WAY COULD WE HAVE PREVENTED THIS OR HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE AND REPAIRED IT. THE INCIDENT OCCURED AS WE WERE LEAVING A RESIDENCE, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! *CN

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BUT BEFORE IT CAME ON I SMELLED SOMETHING FUNNY AND THEN THE AIRBAG ICON CAME ON THE DASHBOARD I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS THAT THE AIR BAG IS SUPPOSED TO BE RECALLED BUT ON MY CAR IT IS NOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE PLEASE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG FOR MY CAR SO I CAN GET IT FIXED.P.ST. IT WON'T LET ME PUT THE MILEAGE DOWN I WAS GOING IT WAS 45 MILES PER HOUR IN MY MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS AROUND A HUNDRED AND THREE THOUSAND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT OBSERVED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE PULLING OFF THE ROAD, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT FLED THE SCENE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THE STEERING WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED 2014 AS PART OF RECALL. NOW IN 2016 IT HAS WENT DEFECTIVE AND GM WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM ONE FOR THE FIRST 8 YEARS I OWNED THIS CAR. NOW THE STEERING GOES OUT WHILE I'M LEAVING A GROCERY STORE. I TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER TO GET IT BACK HOME. ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ITS SUPPOSED TO COST ME, $1400 TO REMEDY? *TR

MY CAR WAS RUNNING JUST FINE. ALL OF A SUDDEN ON A VERY RAINY NIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT CATCH GEAR IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO RUN SMOOTHLY. ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATER WHEN I GOT TO THE FREEWAY IT DROVE SMOOTHLY. THE NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STARTED BURNING. I STOPPED TO LET IT COOL AND CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS, EVERYTHING WAS OK. I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR 10 MINUTES TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE. WHILE REVERSING A LOT POP HAPPENED. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AND PINK FLUID WAS RUNNING DOWN THE PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER AN HOUR I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A RELATIVES HOUSE AFTER REFILLING THE CAR WITH POWER STEERING FLUID. AFTER 2 HOURS OF SITTING WE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO MY HOUSE AND AS WE LEFT THE CAR LOCKED UP. THE ENGINE RAN BUT THE TIRES WERE GETTING NO ROTATION. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHILE A MECHANIC TOOK THE BRAKE CALIBER AND BRAKE PADS OFF, SO WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY. I AM PAYING ON A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD FOR SIX MONTHS AND IS NOT WORKING. *TR

MY CAR HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL OF POWER STEERING PROBLEMS, AND THAT RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN EARLY 2014. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015, NOW A LITTLE LATER THAN A YEAR, I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEMS OF THE RECALL. WHICH IS "YOUR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH EPS MAY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. IF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND A CHIME SOUNDS TO INFORM THE DRIVER. STEERING CONTROL CAN BE MAINTAINED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO A MANUAL STEERING MODE, BUT WOULD REQUIRE GREATER DRIVER EFFORT AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH.". MY CAR HAS THESE EXACT ISSUES EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN "FIXED 2 YEARS AGO". I BELIEVE MY CAR WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED IN A CORRECT WAY, OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE IN SAFETY HAZARD TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WHOSE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING. NOW I AM BEING FORCED TO ACTUALLY GET IT FIXED FROM A GM DEALERSHIP OUT OF POCKET. THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, BECAUSE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY "FIXED" 2 YEARS AGO I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I AM NO BEING FORCED TO PAY $575 TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY. AS IT SHOULD ALREADY BE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN AS GM ADVERTISES. *TR

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION. DASH BOARD BEGINS TO CHIME WHILE THIS HAPPENS.

THE STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY TRACY CHEVROLET IN OCTOBER 2014 AS PART OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. AT THE TIME IT WAS REPLACED THE CAR HAD 140,000 MILES ON IT AND CURRENTLY HAS 160,000 MILES ON IT.. SO AFTER 20,000 MILES THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD.. AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALER I'M TOLD THEY REPLACED IT AND THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY ONE YEAR. HOWEVER, FOR THIS PART TO GO BAD SO SOON MAKES ME QUESTION IF IT WAS EVER REPLACED OR REPLACED WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME SORT OF HELP WITH THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE CAR WENT 140,000 MILES BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED AND ONLY 20,000 WITH THE "NEW SENSOR"??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY THE CARS STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT LET ME TURN IT NOR WOULD MY BRAKE WORK. THE CAR DID A COMPLETE 360 AND SMASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ONLY GOING 40 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME AND PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR. FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, THE MECHANIC AND DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WHEN THEY PLUGGED THE CAR INTO THE ELECTRICAL CODE FINDER THAT THEY COULD NOT GENERATE A CODE THAT SHOWED THE WHEEL OR CAR LOCKED UP.

RE: PONTIAC 2006 -G6 GT ELECT. SYSTEM, ELECT. STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL --- THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR ABOVE PROBLEMS IN 2014. AT THAT TIME I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER TO BE FIXED, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS NOT IN NEED OF REPAIR BECAUSE NO PROBLEMS HAD EXISTED, DEALER STATED HE FIXED ALL RECALL PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. NOW TWO YEARS LATER I AM EXPERIENCING ALL THE LISTED PROBLEMS ABOVE. I TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC WHERE HE DID REPLACE PARTS BUT STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEM. IT MUST GO BACK TO DEALER SO PROBLEM CAN BE ALLEVIATED. BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON WHEN BRAKING ALSO WHEN APPLYING GAS THEY SOMETIMES GO ON. CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO NOT WORKING. WHAT'S TO SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED IN 2014 WHEN THE CAR WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WASN'T HAVING ANY ISSUES AT THAT TIME. HAD DO I KNOW THE WORK WAS EVER DONE THE FIRST TIME AROUND SINCE I WAS NOT IN THE SERVICE AREA AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. WHAT'S TO SAY I WAS HANDED AN ITEMIZED LIST OF ALL CORRECTED PARTS AND INDEED IT WAS NEVER FIXED. I CALLED PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS REPLACED WITH RECALL I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET. ACCORDING TO NHTSA -THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING TO REDUCE DEATHS AND INJURIES ON THE ROADWAYS TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR THE PUBLIC. THEY ALSO NEED TO BE ON THE CUSTOMERS SIDE AND NOT THE SIDE OF THE DEALER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD GO TO LOWER SPEED AND STOP, MAKING LOUD GRINDING NOISE AFTER ABOUT 3 TO 5 MINUTES IT WOULD DRIVE AGAIN. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE ANTI SKID WAS ON, CAR ONLY HAS 66,000 MILES . THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK 3 TIMES. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT ON CITY STREETS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL VEERED LEFT TO RIGHT, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK INCURRED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. , CAUSING ME TO HAVE A SMALL CRASH. RECALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ON MARCH 2014 THE NHTSA REQUIRED GM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT ONLY COVERED CERTAIN THE G6 MODELS UP TO THE YEAR 2009. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE ONLY FEW SELECT CARS WERE INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FALLS TO THE CONSUMER AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1,800 TO $2,000 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIRRORS THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC'S AS EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHILE I APPRECIATE GM'S WILLINGNESS TO "CONSIDER" THE MATTER, I URGE THE NHTSA TO RE-VISIT THE MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ACCORDINGLY AND AMEND THE POWER STEERING RECALL. THANK YOU.

BRAKES LIGHTS WORK IN REVERSE. WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AND WHEN I PUT THE BRAKES ON THE LIGHTS GO DIM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR 2ND HAND AND WAS UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND A GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION IN THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE AND THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER AWAITING PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. UPDATED 01/06/17*LJ UPDATED 7/10/18*JB *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY STIFF TO MANEUVER, ESPECIALLY WHILE AT IDLE. BECOMES HARD TO TURN AT CURVES

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WILL CUT OUT WHEN TURNING MAKING IT HARD THE STEER THE CAR AND WITH THIS HAPPENING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IN A MAIN ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

ON AUGUST 6, 2016 I WAS MERGING ONTO THE 33 EAST FROM THE CAYUGA ROAD ENTRANCE IN CHEEKTOWAGA, NY. AS I TRIED TO MERGE ONTO THE THRUWAY MY STEERING COMPLETELY WENT LOOSE AND LOST CONTROL. I COULDN'T GRAB HOLD OF THE WHEEL, AND MY CAR WENT COMPLETELY INSANE AND CROSSED THE 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC ON THE THRUWAY AND HIT THE GUARDRAIL, THEN BOUNCED OFF THE GUARDRAIL, CROSSING BACK THROUGH THOSE 3 LANES AND I ENDED UP IN A DITCH ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE GUARDRAIL.MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED, AND I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL ER BY MY MOTHER & MY CAR WAS TOWED BY CHEEKTOWAGA POLICE TO MILLERS TOWING ON GENESEE STREET. THE ONLY THING THE HOSPITAL DIAGNOSED ME WITH WAS WHIPLASH. I HAVE NO IDEA OR EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE CAR TO LOSE CONTROL LIKE THAT. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND FILED A CLAIM WITH THEM. GENERAL MOTORS SENT OUT AN INVESTIGATOR TO COME CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE INVESTIGATOR ONLY PLUGGED MY CAR INTO HIS COMPUTER, AFTER UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS NOT NECESSARY TO DO AT ALL). AFTER HE INVESTIGATED IT, GENERAL MOTORS CALLED ME AND SAID MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. I FEEL THAT MY CAR WAS IMPROPERLY INSPECTED, IT SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN PUT UP ON A LIFT TO HAVE THE STEERING RACK LOOKED AT, SEEING AS THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I HAVE 3 WITNESSES THAT STOPPED ALONGSIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ME AND SAID IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS "POSSESSED." THE CAR HAD A STEERING RECALL THAT I GOT FIXED AT A GENERAL MOTORS FACILITY IN

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE REPLACE THE LOW BEAM BULBS 3 TIMES AND IT ONLY LAST A FEW DAYS. I CAN BANG ON THE HEADLIGHT AND IT WILL COME BACK ON FOR A DAY OR SO BUT THEN TURNS OFF AGAIN. IT IS USUALLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. AFTER SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS I HAVE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS A SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THESE CARS THAT COULD CAUSE THEM TO GO UP IN FLAMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VEERED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THE CONTACT HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE IN EXCESS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

ON 95 HIGHWAY SOUTH NEAR CARSON VA A WHITE BIG BAG FELL OFF A TRACTOR TRAILER IN WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ROAD IT DAMAGE MY RADIATOR AND BACK END OF MY CAR. REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE TO MYBCAR

POT HOLE ON CRATER ROAD PETERSBURG, VA MESSED UP RIM AND TIRE

THE AIR BAG DOESN'T WORK AND THE LIGHT FLASHES "SERVICE AIRBAG," AND, WHILE PUMPING THE BRAKES TO STOP, YOU HAVE TO PUMPS TWICE BEFORE THE CAR REACTS TO THE COMMAND. I HAD THE PADS REPLACED BUT THE CAR OPERATES THE SAME AS BEFORE.

AT 60,000 MILES THE POWER STEERING ALERT CAME ON THE DIC AND THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I REPLACED THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION IN THIS CAR COSTING ME OVER $2500 DOLLARS. THE PAST MONTH THE WHEEL HAS BEEN SHAKING BADLY AND WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL PULL EACH WAY AND HAVE PLAY AND SOMETIMES BE STIFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I'VE ALMOST CAUSED MYSELF TO GET IN MANY ACCIDENTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY GM. I'VE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES AND MY CAR VIN ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. THE CAR NOW JUST ECLIPSED OVER 100,000 MILES AND NEED TO KEEP THIS CAR THROUGH THE WINTER BUT I'M AFRAID WITH THE WINTERS WE HAVE IN BUFFALO, I'M GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT. THE COST TO FIX THE JPOWER STEERING MOTOR IS OVER $1,000 AND I'M NOT PUTTING ANY MORE MONEY INTO THIS CAR. OVER THE YEARS I'VE HAD THE CAR, I'VE PUT WELL OVER $6,000 INTO IT. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE (AT GM) AND THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE VERY RUDE AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER 60 SECONDS.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY STAY ON AND TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES AND RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD OR EVEN JUST SITTING STILL. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND EVERY TIME IT IS AN ISSUE WITH BCM. WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ON THAT ISSUE, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WHAT THEY DID DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT DID, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.
