2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

DURING SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS, WHEN I APPLY BRAKES, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE 5MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL INTERFERES WITH BRAKES AND CAR DOES NOT ALLOWS ME TO APPLY BRAKE. I FEEL THIS STRONG VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN HEAR SOME MECHANICAL NOISE. ITS LIFE THREATENING IN WINTERS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH FAMILY. PHYSICALLY BY BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. SEEMS LIKE PROBLEM WITH TRACTION CONTROL OR ABS.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AROUND A SHARP TURN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE RADIO DISPLAY READ 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO REDUCE SPEED DRASTICALLY AND AN ACCIDENT NARROWLY ESCAPED. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FAULTY PART OR NOT THAT MY LIFE SHOULD BE ENDANGERED OR BUT AT RISK BY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OR WHATEVER THE CAUSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE!!

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL AFTER DRIVING. HESITATION WHILE STARTING COLD ENGINE. NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAK ON GROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS SURROUNDING THE VEHICLE.

WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING BUT DID SEE THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY FLASH A FEW TIMES. WE DECIDED TO BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET THE 3 RECALLS DONE ON IT OF WHICH ONE OF THEM WAS FOR THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE. AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED A DIFFERENT PART AND CHARGED US $734.26 AND SAID THE SECOND PART WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ALSO CONTACTED GM HEADQUARTERS AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. SINCE THE PART CHANGED IN THE RECALL ACTUALLY BROKE OUR POWER STEERING MAYBE THEY WERE CHANGING THE WRONG CHEAPER PART AND BILLING THE CUSTOMER TO FIX THE ISSUE. WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS LESS THAN A MINUTE AT A TIME AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN BUT THE CAR STILL COULD BE TURNED.

I HAD A RECALL DONE FOR THE STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED BY THE PART REPLACEMENT. IN FACT, I CONTINUE TO LOSE STEERING AT LOW SPEED AND DURING PARK. THE RECALL WAS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM REPLACED A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE NOW. WHEN IS GM GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY NOT TO MENTION TO THE PUBLIC. GM ARE YOU FOR REAL? PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

I WAS DRIVING MAKING A TURN AND I HARD A NOISE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I FELT MY STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN UP.

I WAS GOING THROUGH AN S CURVE ON A LOCAL ROAD DOWN THE STREET AND WHEN I WAS COMING OUT OF THE CURVE THE WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT I HEARD THE CAR CHIME AND I LOST THE STEERING. WAS UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD FAST ENOUGH AND AT THE END OF THE CURVE WAS A PARK PARKING LOT. LUCKILY THE SIDE I HAD TO SWERVE INTO WAS EMPTY AND NO KIDS WERE IN THE AREA ON THE BIKE PATH BECAUSE I ENDED UP GOING INTO THE GRASS. AFTER I GOT THE CAR STOPPED I SHUT IT OFF,TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TURN LEFT TO HEAD BACK HOME BOOM CAR CHIMED AND LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN. LUCKILY THIS TIME I WAS EXPECTING IT AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AS I WAS TURNING AROUND TO HEAD BACK HOME. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE THE CAR BACK THE SHORT MILE BACK TO THE HOUSE THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY STATING THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE RECALLS ON IT BUT ALSO SAID THAT THE REASON IT WENT OUT ( SHORT IN THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE) WAS A RECALL ITEM BUT NOT ON MY YEAR G6. I TOLD THEM THAT WHEN I PULLED THE YEAR ON MY CAR , IT SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AND THEY SAID MINE WAS MADE TOO EARLY IN THE YEAR OR SOMETHING AND HE ALSO SAID ITS A VERY VERY COMMON PART FAILURE. I ASKED WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS BETWEEN MY STEERING MODULE AND THE ONES ON RECALL WERE, AND HE STATED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE PART NUMBER AND IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART. SO FOR $900.00 TO FIX IT I TOLD THEM TO TOW IT BACK TO MY HOUSE UNFIX

MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND STAY ON. THEN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER BEING TOLD THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. I THEN RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS BRAKE ISSUE AND HAD THE BCM AND BPPS AND HARNESS REPLACED (RECALL 13036) AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE (RECALL 14152). IT HAS NOW BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE BPPS AGAIN AND IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST. I FEEL SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OR NOT EVEN AFTER I'M TOLD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED.

A VISUAL INSPECTION BY A FRIEND WHO IS A 'SHADE-TREE' MECHANIC SHOW NO OBVIOUS LEAKS NOR DO I NOTICE ANYTHING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE WINDOWS CRACKED. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING OTHER OWNERS HAVE SEEN AND IF POSSIBLY THERE IS OR WILL BE A RECALL? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING (AND GETTING WORSE) FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT LIGHTS. THIS EVENING I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD AND SUDDENLY BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I PUT ON MY HIGH BEAMS AND 15 SECONDS LATER, BOTH LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED EVERY FEW HUNDRED FEET FOR MY ENTIRE DRIVE HOME. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND AS I'M LOOKING ONLINE I SEE MANY OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING LIGHTING ISSUES. IF THIS IS A FREQUENT AND KNOWN PROBLEM, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. IT WAS REALLY SCARY HAVING BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND I'M VERY THANKFUL I DID NOT CRASH! THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND RECALLS! AS A LONG TIME GM CUSTOMER, I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE!

NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF EVEN IF THERE WAS A PASSENGER, OR STAY ON IF THERE WAS NO PASSENGER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR G6'S THAT HAD CLOTH SEATS THAT WERE CHANGED TO LEATHER SEATS. MY CAR HAS LEATHER SEATS, HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THIS RECALL. THE REPAIR SHOP INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM. THE WIRING FOR THE SENSORS WAS NEVER PROPERLY DONE. THERE WAS NO SPACE TO PUT CERTAIN WIRES AND THEY WERE NEVER CONNECTED. THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS NEVER PROPERLY CONNECTED!

THE CAR HAD A "TICKING" SOUND FOR 3 WEEKS. THE SOUND STARTS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOP AND SHUT OFF. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING SO I LEFT IT GO AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. THEY SAY THE CAR IS CRAP..THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND PART OF THE PISTON BROKE OFF AND FLEW INTO THE MOTOR, DAMAGING IT. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPEN. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH REPAIRING AND NO ONE WANTS IT FOR A TRADE IN NOR WILL THE LOAN GO AWAY. THESE CARS SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE MARKET.

WHILE PUTTING VEHICLE IN GEAR IT JERKS VERY HARD. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND WHILE DRIVING, THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON AND IT SHUTS DOWN. WHILE IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK OFF AND ON. TOOK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND PUT IT ON TEST THEY SAID WIRING WAS BAD. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. ALSO, THEY FIX RECALL FOR POWER STRAIN AND GEAR SHIFT CABLE AND CAR BEEN ACTING UP EVER SINCE SERVICE LIGHT ON AND NOT CHANGING PROPERLY.

ON JULY 9 AND 29 2015. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING MY CAR SUDDENLY WENT DEAD POWER STEERING LOCKED HAD TO WRESTLING WITH IT JUST TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE GET OFF THE ROAD. IT HAD BEGIN TO SHAKE AS IF THE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. THE CAR DID NOT START. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT STILL DID THE SAME THING AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER ON JULY 29 2015. STILL HAD NOT STARTED.

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND PARKING, BOTH CAR INTERIOR AND TRUNK SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS. CHECKED PAVEMENT UNDER CAR FOR LEAKING GAS, BUT DID NOT SEE ANY. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES WITH THE SMELL DETECTED WHILE DRIVING. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE GAS SMELL IS SO STRONG AND I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS WHO HAVE IDENTIFIED SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN TRACED TO A HARD PLASTIC FUEL LINE THAT COMES OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS TANK. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED...TOO RISKY TO DRIVE. ALL OF THIS COMBINED WITH THE CAR'S HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ISSUES ARE JUST WAY TOO MUCH. I CANNOT RELY ON THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION AT ALL, AND IT IS APPARENTLY WORTHLESS AS A TRADE-IN.
