2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

I BOUGHT MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IN AUGUST, 2007. LESS THAN THREE YEARS LATER I HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS REPLACED ALL THE WAY AROUND. NOW, LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER HAVING THAT DONE I HAVE NOW HAVE TO HAVE MY BRAKE PADS REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND BACK AND MY ROTORS REPLACED ON THE FRONT. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES ON THE G6S. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. ON MY SCREEN FOR MY RADIO IT SAID "POWER STEERING". THANK GOODNESS I WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT HAVE CONTROLLED IT IF I WAS GOING FASTER. MY DAUGHTER AND BOYFRIEND WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT SCARED ME BECAUSE HAD I WRECKED, MY DAUGHTER MAY HAVE SUFFERED INJURIES. I AM NOT DRIVING MY CAR UNTIL I GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I HAVE CALLED AROUND AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON G4'S AND G5'S BUT NOT G6'S. I HAVE READ SO MANY ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR G6'S. I THINK GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY SERIOUSLY GETS HURT. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR (ABOUT 1,000$) AND WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS PEOPLE JUST DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THAT. I AM SO SCARED THAT I WILL CAUSE A WRECK BECAUSE OF MY CAR BEING FAULTY AND SOMEONE ELSE MAY CAUSE A WRECK AND RUN INTO ME OR MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY G6. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY CAR SERVICED BUT WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF I FOUND OUT HOW TO GET AHOLD OF GM AND ASK THEM TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 6 MONTHS. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED 2007 PONTIAC G6. HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY OTHER MOTORISTS MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK WHEN STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, AND THEN COME ON WHEN ACCELERATING AWAY. *TR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE ILLUMINATED WHEN RUNNING AND IN PARK WITH NOBODY IN THE VEHICLE. I CAN TELL WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON DURING THE DAY IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL, IF IT DOESN'T ENGAGE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. AT NIGHT WHEN THERE IS NOBODY BEHIND ME I CAN SEE THE BRIGHT REFLECTION IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE ILLUMINATED ON THERE OWN. NEW BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED AT GM DEALERSHIP 12-29-2010. CURRENTLY WORKING PROPERLY TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6, 77,000 MILES. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE A LOT. THEN I NOTICE WHEN YOU SLIGHTLY TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT IT KNOCKS. I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING POWER STEERING WARNINGS ON MY DASH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY THEN RESTARTS AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE 2007 G6 WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I'VE NOTICE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ON G6 CAR WEBSITES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SURELY THIS IS A RECALL. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A APPOINTMENT TO GET MY CAR LOOKED AT NEXT WEEK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGED THE HAZARD LIGHTS BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME ON. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATED, DECREASED SPEED AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN CHECKED BY THE MECHANIC WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 124,000.

GRINDING NOISE COMES FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURNING AT SAME TIME (I.E. TURNING FROM ONE ROAD TO ANOTHER AFTER STOPPING AT SIGNAL OR SIGN). HAS DONE IT SINCE 2008. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN AUG 07. ALSO, DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WILL GO DOWN LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO WHEN DOOR IS OPENED BUT INTERMITTENTLY GOES BACK UP ALL THE WAY RIGHT AFTER DOOR IS OPENED. HAVE TO HIT THE UNLOCK OR LOCK BUTTON TO GET IT BACK INTO PLACE. *TR

SITUATION: THE G6 WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT ABOUT 50 MPH, THE ROAD WAS IN VERMONT HILLS/MOUNTAINS, THE WEATHER WAS RAINING -- FROM LIGHT TO AN INCREASING INTENSITY. THE WIPERS WERE TURNED ON TO THE LOW PULSE SETTING, AND AS THE RAIN INTENSITY INCREASED THE PULSE FREQUENCY WAS INCREASED ONE STEP AT A TIME. WHEN THE PULSE WAS AT ITS FASTEST, AND THE G6 WAS PROCEEDING UP AN INCLINE AND THE CRUISE LOGIC WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DECIDING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED ENOUGH TO OBSCURE ALL VISION. THIS CONDITION REPEATED ITSELF UNTIL I CHANGED THE PULSE SETTING TO CONSTANT. THEN, AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IN WEST LAFAYETTE TRAVELING FROM THE MAIN ROAD NORTH OUT OF TOWN UP ROUTE 443 BETWEEN ROUTE 43 AND 52 ON CRUISE AT 35 MPH IN A RAIN WITH THE WIPERS ON FAST PULSE THE WIPERS STOPPED AND VISION WAS OBSCURED. SOOO, THE HILL/INCLINE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE 'MOUNTAINOUS' OR VERY LONG IN DURATION. THE DEALER IN VT SUGGESTED I SHOULD JUST PUT IT ON CONSTANT PULSE TO AVOID THE ISSUE -- DUH. THE DEALER IN MICHIGAN ATTEMPTED TO REPLICATE THE CONDITION BUT CITY TRAFFIC, ETC. PROHIBITED THE 'EXPERIMENT'. THE GM CUSTOMER RELATIONS CONTACTS SIMPLY KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE CONDITION 'DID NOT EXIST' BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED -- WHICH WAS THE SAME AS CALLING ME A LIAR. DUH. YET THE GM CR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH ANYONE INVOLVED WITH THE VEHICLE DESIGN OR BUILD -- BECAUSE "IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED" YET I DUPLICATED THE VT OCCURRENCE IN ILLINOIS IN DIFFERENT TERRAIN

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE WILL NOT REGISTER THAT THE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHT ON THE DASH TO CONSTANTLY BE ON AND THE BEEPING SOUND TO CONTINUE. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED TO REGISTER IT IS LOCKED INTO PLACE FOR SAFETY. I AM HAVING IT REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE FOR MY SAFETY AND YES THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. *TR

I HAVE AN 07 G6 THAT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH BRAKE LIGHTS, CRUISE, AND SHIFTING OUT OF PARK THAT THE 05-06 G6'S ARE. WE'VE HAD THE BRAKE SWITCH CHANGED TWICE AND IT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. EVEN WITH THE BRAKE SWITCH UNPLUGGED THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. *TR

STEERING IS POPPING AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP. CALLED DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. CALLED GM THEY TOOK NOTE. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A YR THEY REPOSITIONED AND LUBED THE I-SHAFT. NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AREA THERE IS A POPPING NOISE WHEN ITS COLD. THAT ALSO WAS LOOKED AT 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. IT STILL MAKES THE NOISE. ACTUALLY ITS GETTING LOUDER. I WAS TOLD BY GM TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I HAVE UNDER 50,000 WITH NO WARRANTY. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED. AND HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT SOMETHING THEY SAY DOESN'T EXIST. THE POPPING IN THE STEERING AND LEFT FRONT IS STILL OCCURRING EVERY DAY BUT IS WORSE WHEN ITS COLD. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL, BRAKE LIGHT SAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. GOES OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED ,DEALER HAS LOOKED AT CAR TWICE PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. *TR

UPON STARTING VEHICLE, AFTER MAKING FIRST TURN, POWER STEERING GOES OUT. USUALLY OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER. POWER STEERING MAY RETURN MOMENTARILY AFTER CAR IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED.

HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE OCT. 2008. APPROX 1YR AGO IN 2009, STARTED TO EXPERIENCE AIRBAG PROBLEMS. ADULT PERSON OF SUFFICIENT WEIGHT WILL SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AT RANDOM POINTS OF CAR RIDE, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL SHOW "OFF" AND CAR WILL CHIME WHILE DISPLAYING MESSAGE "AIRBAG OFF" EVEN THOUGH A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. ALSO, RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING "SERVICE AIRBAG" WILL SHOW ON DASH AND INDICATOR LIGHT WILL SHOW "ON" WHEN SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD VIN IS NOT INCLUDED ON AIRBAG RECALL NHTSA # 07V146000 DESPITE EXPERIENCING THOSE ISSUES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE REVERSING LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS AT THE TOP; THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT AS WELL. THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A 360 DEGREE TURN BUT THE TIRES HAD NOT MOVED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,710 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,723.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND SWING ARM HAD BEEN FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,405.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL 4 DOOR 2.4L. AT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES I STARTED GETTING BRAKE PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED THE BRAKES TURNED AND GRINNED. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DO THAT BECAUSE OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND WHEN THEY GOT THEIRS TURNED AND GRINNED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OCCURRED THEREAFTER. NOW (@24,000) I HAVE WARPED BRAKES, WORN OUT PADS, AND A DEFECTIVE WORN OUT I-SHAFT(STEERING ROD). I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE ROTORS IN THE REAR, REPLACED ALL PADS AND GRINNED AND TURNED THE REST OF THE ROTORS. THEY CLAIMED MY CAR WAS FIXED BUT THE SECOND I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME WARPING NOISE WAS APPARENT COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I WAS STILL HEARING THE CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY AMERICANS AROUND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BRAKES AND I-SHAFT. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE LAST WEEK AT ONE POINT WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. I KEPT HITTING IT AND FINALLY IT GAVE IN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND PONTIAC/GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY GET THE SAME PROBLEMS TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH!

I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 4 CYLINDER ON OCT 26 2010. THE STEERING WAS REPLACED AFTER WE USED WHAT LITTLE WE HAD IN SAVINGS. BELIEVING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED I DROVE IT 15 MILES INTO TOWN AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP AGAIN. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND IT HAS SAT IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS. WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN WE LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEIR G6 CARS. SURELY THIS IS A RECALL. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 (BOUGHT AS NEW IN JULY 2007). THE STEERING COLUMN IS MAKING VERY LOAD CLUNKING NOISES WHEN TURNED AT A STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING. I AM ALSO DISAPPOINTED (TO PUT IT MILDLY) THAT DESPITE THIS PROBLEM BEING VERY COMMON AMONG OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAVING READ 100'S OF THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE STEERING BOX PROBLEM. I KNOW THE US GOVERNMENT (AKA THE TAXPAYER!) OWNS GM VIA BAILOUT AND I'M SURE THEY DON'T WANT THE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY OF THE AUTO-MAKER HAVING TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW, BUT YOU ARE DEALING WITH LIVES HERE. IF THERE ARE FATALITIES DUE TO NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, DO YOU THINK THAT PUBLICITY WILL BE ANY LESS SEVERE (ASSUMING IT EVER GETS REPORTED). PLEASE, FORCE GM TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE TURNING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH HE HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND FELT A JERK IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE AMONG THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY WHILE MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING POWER STEERING WARNINGS ON MY DASH SO I COULD MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR WITH COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WOULD 1200.00. WHY ISN'T A RECALL ON THE 2007 G6 BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT 2006 HAS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO BECAUSE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD THAT. AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL? PONTIAC KNEW THAT 2007 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2006 HAS.

POWER STEERING NO PLACE TO PUT FLUID IN VEHICLE WENT OUT HAVE NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. PONTIAC G6 2007 VERY SCARY NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE CALLED PONTIAC TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR WHERE DO I PUT FLUID FOR STEERING IN AT THEY SAID IT IS ELECTRONICALLY STEERING GOD BLESS PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS INFO AND THEY ARE DRIVING AND THAT HAPPENS ANGELS WERE WITH ME.. COGGIN PONTIAC SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT 58,103 MILES 3 YRS OLD WOW .VERY SCARY WHEN YOU GET IN YOUR VEHICLE YOU PRAY AND HOPE IT DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO I STARTED CRYING CAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL THANK GOD I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND NO VEHICLES WERE AROUND. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE. I WAS FOLLOWING MY SPOUSE HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHEN HE WAS DRIVING BUT THEY WENT OFF EVERY TIME HE BRAKED TO TURN A CORNER, STOP AT A LIGHT, OR SLOW DOWN WHEN BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR ONLY 2005 - 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT NONE FOR 2007 OWNERS. IT'S OBVIOUS THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH GM NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX (FOR FREE.) *TR

10/5/10 I WAS GOING TO HAVE WORK DONE ON MY PONTIAC G6 2007 BASE MODEL, I WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND SAW THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOT WHEN STOP. ON 10/06/10 I WENT TO A GM DEALER AND HAD SENSOR REPAIR AND BRAKES RECALIBRATED. TONIGHT 10/22/10 AT 9:05PM I WAS PULLED OVER BY AND OFFICER WHO STATED HE SAW MY BRAKES WERE ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOT WHEN STOPPING. I WANTED TO BE REFUNDED FOR WHAT I PAY TO FIX IT AND HAVE GM FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE..BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING AND BE CHARGED AGAIN....SOMEONE NEEDS TO CONTACT ME AND I WANTED REFUNDS FOR ME HAVING TO TAKE IT TWICE TO GET FIX, REFUND ME FOR BOTH.... *TR

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A 2007 PONTIAC G6 WITH 24,000 MILES ON IT AND IT NOW HAS 39,000 MILES. SOMETIME WITHIN THOSE 13,000 MILES IT HAS DEVELOPED A CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED MOST NOTICEABLY AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE PINPOINTED THE NOISE TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING BOX OR STEERING SHAFT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO STEERING CONTROL FAILURE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED SOON. I AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HAVE GM ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL PONTIAC G6 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I HAVE A PONTIAC 2007 G6 THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WENT INTO A VERY SWALLOW DITCH. I WAS NOT HURT AND THE CAR WAS NOT DAMAGED, HOWEVER IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CANAL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILL. ALL MY FLUIDS ARE CHECK AND CHANGE ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE ERROR AND NEEDS TO BE LOOK AND THIS WILL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND I AM NOT FIXING IT MY SELF. NOR AM I GOING TO PAY TO HAVE FIX WHEN THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD PAY TO FIX IT . THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION AT ANY TIME NO MATTER WHAT YEAR OR MAKE !! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER I COULD HAVE BEEN KILL DO TO A DEFECT AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIX NOW !!!!!!!!! *TR

1. I BOUGHT A PONTIAC G6 LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO. 2. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, COLUMN OR STEERING RACK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FELT STIFF. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED; DURING SOME OF THE FAILURES, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6, I HAD NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS DURING AND AFTER OPERATION. THIS SMELL WOULD FILL THE CAR AND MY GARAGE WHEN PARKED. AFTER DOING SOME READING I FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6. A PLASTIC LINE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/ PUMP CRACKS OR BREAKS AND LEAKS FUEL ONTOP OF THE GAS TANK AND THE EXHAUST LINES AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A INHALATION HAZARD AND FIRE HAZARD TO ANY ONE USING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOWERED THE GAS TANK ON MY CAR THE LINE WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AT $281. *TR

ELECTRICAL, STEERING, ABS- I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, I HEARD A THUMP WHEN TURNING. NO ONE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE I SHAFT. IN JANUARY OF 2010, MY ANTI LOCK BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING- $500 LATER, I THOUGHT I WAS SET. I WAS WRONG, ANOTHER SIX MONTHS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON. A LOCAL GM DEALER REPLACED THE ECM CONTROL AND CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY, $200 LATER. AN HOUR LATER, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. MY CAR SHOOK AWFULLY. I HAD ANOTHER TWO HOUR DRIVE UNTIL I GOT HOME, BECAUSE I WAS ON VACATION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT SOME WIRES HAD RUBBED TOGETHER, AND NEEDED REPLACED, $300 LATER, I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. THIS WEEK, I TOOK MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MEN NOTICED THAT MY BALL JOINT WAS GOING OUT. MY TIRE LITERALLY SHOOK IN FRONT OF MY EYES. TALK ABOUT SCARY... I GOT MY BALL JOINT/CONTROL ARM FIXED, AT A STEAL OF $230 BECAUSE MY FRIENDS FRIEND OWNS A SHOP AND GAVE ME A DEAL. I DID GET A QUOTE FROM A LOCAL DEALER FOR $420. IN THE PAST YEAR, THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT AND IT ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. I WANT OUT! NO MORE PONTIACS FOR ME! *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I COMPLETELY LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE SO I VEERED INTO THE DITCH IN MY YARD. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY/ROAD IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CHIME WOULD SOUND, INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V146000 (AIR BAGS: FRONTAL: SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE) BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FAIL WHEN PULLING INTO A RESIDENTIAL PARKING SPACE OR PULLING OUT OF A TIGHT SPOT AT LOW SPEED. THE POWER STEERING WOULD THEN RESET ITSELF ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. THE DEALER RECALIBRATED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSIST WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IF THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500.

BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2007 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. CALLED DEALERSHIP COMPLAINT OF BRAKES SQUEALING AROUND AUGUST 2009. DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS DUE TO METALLIC BRAKES PADS AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR BRAKES TO SQUEAL. JUNE 2010 OUT DRIVING NOTICED STEERING COLUMN SHAKES AT HIGH SPEEDS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND CAR WAS HARD TO STOP. STOPPED AT NEAREST GM DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER. THEY STATED IT WAS DUE TO ME STOPPING TO HARD ON THE BRAKES OVER TIME AND THE ROTORS HAVE WARPED DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE HEAT. NOTICED CAR IS STILL HARD TO STOP AT REGULAR DRIVING SPEEDS NOW. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO INSPECT AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT AGAIN AND ALSO IT WASN'T COVERED THROUGH MY WARRANTY DUE IT BEING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THEY DIDN'T EVEN INSPECT IT.THE CAR ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT NOW. IT'S STILL HARD TO STOP AND SHAKES HORRIBLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT HIGH SPEEDS. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, MY CHILD'S SAFETY, AND OTHER DRIVERS SAFETY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50-55 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN BEEPING ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER ADVISED HAVING A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,720 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,790.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES LIGHTS WOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE AND REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. IN ADDITION, THE ROTORS AND BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING AT 19,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE ALSO WEARING PREMATURELY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 21, 000.

OUR 2007 G6 HAS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT RESULTS IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AND OFF WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. WE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED CRUISE CONTROL DROP OUT AT SPEED SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS DIFFICULTIES SHIFTING INTO DRIVE UNLESS EXTREME PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. ALL THREE OF THESE CONCERNS LINE UP WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V036000 HOWEVER OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD. GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE CONCERN BUT REPORTS THAT THERE ARE NOT RECALL NOTICES OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALL THREE SYMPTOMS INDICATE THAT THE RECALLED CONNECTOR SITED IN 09V03600 CONTINUES TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD OF 2005-2006. RELATED TO, BUT WITNESSED BEFORE, THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEMS ON OUR VEHICLE I FOLLOWED A G6 ON I75 NORTH OF AUBURN HILLS MI THAT HAD IT'S BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE AT SPEED BUT THEY TURNED OFF WHEN THE DRIVER SLOWED DUE TO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY PROBLEM THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. *TR

2007 PONTIAC G6 HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SAME PROBLEMS AS TSB-08-05-009A BUT, NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. HARD TO SHIFT FROM PARK, BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT INTERMITTENTLY AFFECTS DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN THE ISSUES OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ALL BE ON WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. BASICALLY WORKING IN REVERSE. WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. THE ISSUE WILL ALSO JUST BEGIN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND MAY JUST AS SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH TO INDICATE THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING. ONLY AT NIGHT, IN A DARK ENVIRONMENT, ARE YOU ABLE TO KNOW THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO SEE THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT IS LIGHT. DURING THE DAYLIGHT, OR CITY LIGHT ENVIRONMENT, THE NON-FUNCTIONING CRUISE IS THE ONLY INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM. IMPROPERLY FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS IS A HIGH SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. WHEN THE ISSUE IS NOT OCCURRING ALL BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AS IS THE CRUISE CONTROL. INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE I75 EXPRESSWAY IN HEAVY RAIN SPEED AT THE TIME WAS APPROX 60 MILES PER HOUR, DECIDED TO GET OF AT THE NEXT EXIT UNTIL THE RAIN COOLED DOWN. I THEN TURNED BY STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT TO MERGE ONTO THE EXIT LANE WHEN THE CAR INSTANTLY STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL...SPUN 5-7 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN HIT THE MEDIAN WITH THE RIGHT TAIL END. UPON IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN SNAPPED OFF INTO MY LAP WITH NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IN PULLED RIGHT OUT AND WAS NOW IN MY LAP. THE CAR IS NOW IN REPAIR AND I HAVE REQUESTED THE PARTS TO BE SAVED, THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CONTACTED PONTIAC AND WE HAD A DISCUSSION...BUT I DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED I HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THEM SINCE THE DISCUSSION. *TR

BRAKES LIGHTS ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 ARE WORKING INCORRECTLY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ONE WHEN I'M ACCELERATING AND OFF WHEN I'M ACTUALLY BRAKING. THE SHIFTER IS ALSO HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ON AND OFF. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V-036. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AFTER A WHILE THEN REPEATGOING OFF AND ON. *TR

I WAS STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING DEFAULT MESSAGE CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A CLICKING THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND WHENEVER THE WHEEL WAS ACTUATED. I NOTICED THERE WAS A LAG IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOVED. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY I ALSO NOTICED A CONSTANT SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH SYMPTOMS THAT I HAD WITH THIS ISSUE COULD DEFINITELY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT COVER 2007 MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR INJURY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AT RANDOM AND TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. FROM YOUR OWN BULLETIN: 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. ALL PONTIAC G6 MODELS SHOULD BE INCLUDED DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS GO OFF. PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IM ACTUALLY STOPPING. ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE AND SOMETIMES IT WONT. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND PONTIAC NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2007 OR SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON MY 2007 G6. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN STOPPING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS FROM BEHIND. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS AND I LET THEM KNOW I KNOW. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT TWICE AT A DELAERSHIP AND "FIXED" BUT THEN BEGINS AGAIN WITHIN THE WEEK. I DO NOT WANT TO GET KILLED DUE TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE I AM DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THEN BRAKE LIGHTS TURN BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. *TR
