2008 Pontiac G6 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND CAUSED THE STEERING TO LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WHITE BEAR LAKE SUPERSTORE (612-276-2922, LOCATED AT 3900 HWY 61 N, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN 55110) WHERE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR MODULE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALSER BUICK GMC BLOOMINGTON (612-326-6297, LOCATED AT 4601 AMERICAN BLVD W, BLOOMINGTON, MN 55437) WHERE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR MODULE WAS REPLACED AGAIN, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR MODULE COVERAGE EXPIRED. NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING FUEL AND THE FUEL PRESSURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

SO ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 GT, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I DECIDED TO REPLACE BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HASN'T BEEN TOO BAD, IT WOULD GO OUT, BUT A TAP ON THE HEADLIGHT WOULD TURN IT BACK ON. THE DRIVERS SIDE HOWEVER, WOULD GO OUT AT ANY RANDOM TIME, THEN CUT BACK ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY OR A FEW MINUTES LATER. I DID SEE THAT THE PLUG FOR THE LOW BEAM WAS A LITTLE MELTED, BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR WAS ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE CURRENT NEEDED FOR THE BULB OR THE WIRING WAS JUST TERRIBLE.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. DIFFICULT TO TURN EITHER DIRECTION

THE DRIVERSIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM CONNECTOR CONTINUOUSLY MELTS AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM PER MOST ONLINE FORUMS IF YOU LOOK IT UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN EVEN AFTER REPAIR THE PROBLEM PERSIST AND NEW WIRING HARNESS MELTS THE SAME WAY. THEIR HAS TO BE A REASON THAT SO MANY OF THESE ARE MELTING THE CONNECTORS. THERE IS NOT REASON THAT IT SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH OR REPAIR.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN MY CAR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER AND HAVE MAINTAINED IT PROPERLY. THE CAR HAS A LITTLE UNDER 67,000 MILES AND OCCASIONALLY LOSES POWER. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I CAN NOT WITH 100 PERCENT CERTAINTY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC KNOWING THAT IT WILL ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS THE ISSUE AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY CLAIM THAT SOME PONTIAC G6 MODELS (BASED ON VIN) HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THAT MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. I HAVE LOOKED UP RELATED CASES AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I LOVE MY CAR AND IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, UNTIL NOW. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE, ANYONE WITH SOME AUTHORITY IS READING THIS. I HOPE THAT THAT PERSON DOES SOME INVESTIGATING AND REALIZES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT ISOLATED AND SHOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, BUT AM FORCED TO AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. I HAVE STOPPED USING THE FREEWAY FOR SAFETY REASONS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL IN 2014 AND THE POWER CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE FUEL LINE ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THERE IS A DISTINCT GAS SMELL FROM THE CAR AND OBD CODE P0446. THIS IS A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FUEL LEAK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD OF THIS ON A GM CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL AND THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,298.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS FOR YEARS. I BUY LIGHTS EVERY 3 WEEKS, THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WAS STOPPED BY COPS & GIVEN A WARNING. NOW NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING (HIGH R LOW) DON'T COME ON. JUST DEVASTED DEALERSHIP WILL CHARGE $700 THAT I DON'T HAVE NEED HELP ARE ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO. I SEE A LOT OF PONTIAC CT VEHICLES WITH ONLY ONE LITE WORKING ?????? DRIVING IN THE DARK COMING HOME FROM WORK.....

AFTER FINDING MOVEMENT IN ENTERING THE VEHICLE LAST NIGHT AND DURING MY NORMAL COMMUTE HOME I HAD DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME HAS FRACTURED AND SEPARATED AT THE FRONT INTERIOR WELD OF THE CROSS MEMBER. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A PARTIALLY DETACHED DRIVER SEAT THAT SHIFTS UNDER WEIGHT AND LOAD MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION ALSO LEADS TO SIGNIFICANT QUESTION OF THE CREDIBILITY AND DEPENDABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, SEAT AND SAFETY RESTRAINT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, SPECIFICALLY ANYTHING BEYOND SLOW SPEEDS. IT'S DOUBTFUL WHETHER THE SEAT WILL REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY OWN FAMILY MEMBER WHO BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER AND I KNOW THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR COLLISION. IF THIS WELD FAILS UNDER NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, HOW CAN A VEHICLE LIKE THIS EVER EXPECT TO PERFORM SAFELY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT? FROM MY RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS NOW BECOMING A WELL KNOWN CONCERN AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PONTIAC G6, AND THUS IT'S A SURPRISE TO ME THAT THERE IS NOT AN UPDATE OR POTENTIAL RECALL TO STRENGTHEN THIS INTEGRAL SAFETY COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE MORE NECESSARY THAN THE SEAT OF THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE? IF THE DRIVER IS NOT SECURE, THAN THE VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER (ST CLAIR CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 3050 KING RD, CHINA TOWNSHIP, MI 48054, (810) 637-1546) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE TEN YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,462.

ADVISED CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID IS BAD, TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICHLE TO SHUT DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED SUCH AS THE EXPRESSWAY.

STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, NOW I SMELL IT WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. THEY SAID IT WAS EITHER THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE CRACKED ON THE FUEL PUMP OR THE MODULE. THEY SAID THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 G6. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. GM NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. GM HAS HAD RECALLS ON PRIOR YEARS OF THE G6 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

GEAR SHIFTER MOVES BUT CAR ROLLS AS ITS IN NEUTRAL NO MATTER WHAT WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IT STILL ROLLED FORWARD, WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT STILL ROLLED FOWARD. ITS AS IF THE GEAR SHIFTER ISN'T PUTTING IT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. NOW I HAVE TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IT WON'T RESTART BECAUSE IT DOESN'T THINK ITS IN PARK? WHAT COULD THIS BE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE GEARS IN THE GEARSHIFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY CITY STREET ON MY WAY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN PATRIALLY THROUGH IT MY POWER STEERING FAILDED AND I ALMOST HIT A POLE.

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS A POPPING IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN I TURN IT. MY TRACKING LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.

EVERY TIME I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A POPPING / SCRAPING LIKE SOUND. THE STEERING IS INCREDIBLY TIGHT WHEN TURNING. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 12,800 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT CABLE ISSUES. *SMD *CN

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ALMOST EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I TOOK IT TO AN ELECTRICIAN. HE REPLACED A PIECE IN THE WIRING, THEN THE OTHER HEADLIGHT, AS SOON AS I FIX ONE SIDE THE OTHER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. I KNOW IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR ALMOST 8 YEARS THIS MAY. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT NOW. I LOVE THIS CAR, IT RIDES GREAT, BUT THIS HEADLIGHT SITUATION IS FRUSTRATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SWEENY GMC (7997 MARKET STREET, YOUNGSTOWN, OH 44512) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO A RECALL. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I'VE HAD THE POWER STEERING RECALL DONE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND RECENTLY 3 TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY IN MY PONTIAC G6 AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE DISPLAYED AND THEN LOSE STEERING ALTOGETHER UNTIL I FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE THEN IT WORKS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING SMALL TURNING ADJUSTMENTS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THE STEERING GOES OUT IT MAKES FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! MY STEERING WORKED FINE BEFORE DOING THE RECALL AND AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW.

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I HAD THE CAR LIFTED UP ON LIFTS AT THE DEALERSHIP I WORK AT AND SAW THAT THERE WAS FUEL ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE SECOND ATTEMPT BUILDS UP ENOUGH FUEL PRESSURE FOR A NORMAL START. THE FUEL ODOR HAS GOTTEN SO BAD INSIDE THE CABIN THAT I HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOWS CRACKED AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING A HEADACHE. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LITERALLY WATCH THE FUEL NEEDLE DROP. GM NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IN A FIRE!

I HAVE SENT IN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 LOSS OF POWER STEERING PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS. THE DEALER SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOK I SEE THAT IT IS A RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 IS FOR MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO.

THE POWER STEERING KEEPS FAILING ON ME WHEN I DRIVE AND SOMETIMES STAYS OFF ALL DAY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I RESTART THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND IT DID NOT COME BACK UNTILL I GOT HOME AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK AROUND A CORNER AND I ALMOST WENT OFF OF THE ROAD. OTHERWISE IT KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF ON ME EVERY DAY (MOSTLY OFF).

DRIVERS SEAT LEANING TOWARDS THE LEFT. SEARCHED FOR CAUSE AND FOUND METAL FRAME IN SEAT CRACKED THROUGH. NO SUPPORT ON BACK LEFT SIDE.

"TAKATA RECALL" IN MY PONTIAC G6 AFTER I HIT 100000 MILES I STARTED HAVING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. MY ABS LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND OFF. MY THEFT-DETERRENT ALARMS COMES ON AND STAY ON WHILE I DRIVE. THEN IT GOES OFF STAY OFF FOR A DAY MAYBE THEN COME BACK ON. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON THEN GOES OFF AND COME BACK ON. THE CAR PULLS FORWARD, WHICH IS SCARY. I DRIVE SLOW BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN STOP IF I HAVE TO. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP. PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE THE CODES THAT WERE COMING UP CONTRADICTS WHAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DOING. THE MECHANIC SAID I MAY NEED A COMPUTER BUT I MAY HE REALLY DID NOT HAVE A DEFINITELY ANSWER ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY (VIN) BUT I BELIEVE THEIR SHOULD BE.

RACK AND PINION FAILURE CAN LEAD TO A CAR ACCIDENT. THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED AROUND 3 YEARS AGO DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THE STEERING IS STIFF WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.

SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, LEAVING DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO STEER IN EITHER DIRECTION. CAUSING THE CAR TO BE UNUSABLE FOR ITS INABILITY TO CHANGE DIRECTION AT ANY GIVEN TIME INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH. THE MONITOR DISPLAYING THE CLOCK JUST HAD A MESSAGE THAT READ "POWER STEERING". MY EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED 5 MPH, I WOULD THEN PARK IT SAFELY, TURN IT OFF AND USE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. THIS WOULD HAPPEN 1-2 TIMES IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN RESPONSE TO MY VIN NOT BEING COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN RECALL # 14V153000, ALTHOUGH MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ARE ALL LISTED UNDER THE RECALL, JUST NOT MY SPECIFIC CAR.

IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE CAR BEING PARKED AND STARTING, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES OF TURNING THE IGNITION ON AND OFF BEFORE IT WOULD START WORKING. NOW, IT DOES IT AT BOTH STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE TRAVELING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS; THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SIMILAR VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR.

I'VE NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT HASN'T BEEN TURNING OFF AFTER SOMEONE HAS LEFT THE PASSENGER SEAT. I USUALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF I'M DRIVING, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN FOR THE SYSTEM TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ISN'T A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT ANYMORE. OTHERWISE IT WILL CONTINUE TO FLASH THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT AND CHIME. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL KEEP FLASHING AND CHIMING EVEN THOUGH I AM WEARING MY SEAT BELT. STARTED 2/20/18.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT DID NOT SELECT THE CORRECT GEAR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE; HOWEVER, WHEN SELECTING PARK, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND REMAINED IN THE INITIAL SELECTED GEAR. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND MANUALLY SHIFT THE VEHICLE IN PARK FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,000

WHEN I START MY CAR, I RECEIVE A POWER STEERING WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT MOVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE AND THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN IM AT A RED LIGHT. TO GET IT BACK TO NORMAL I HAVE TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND CUT IT BACK ON.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POWER STEERING. WHEN I START THE CAR, IT ONLY WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO TURN HE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR 3-4 TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. IF IT GOES OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING, I COULD EASILY GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. MY SEAT BELT SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. IT BEEPS AND DINGS AT ME WHILE I'M DRIVING, VERY DISTRACTING...MAKES ME JUMP WHEN I'M CONCENTRATING ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME HEADLIGHT 3-4 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. THE HARNESS WAS ALL MELTED WHEN THE MECHANIC GOT IT OUT. NOT ONLY IS IT ILLEGAL FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT ALL LIGHTS WORKING BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. ALSO, I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS...THAT THEY MAY NOT LIGHT WHILE BRAKING, OR ILLUMINATE WHILE I'M NOT BRAKING. IT SAID NOT TO TAKE IT TO BE FIXED IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN POSSIBLY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE REAR ENDS ME?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD CLICKING NOISE THAT WAS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING COLUMN. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH TEXAS BUICK-GMC (4220 W EXPY 83, MCALLEN, TX 78501) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-3867825712. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO BRUCE LOWRIE CHEVROLET (711 SW LOOP 820, FORT WORTH, TX 76134, (817) 293-5811) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO COST. THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY WHILE IN MOTION, AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. DROVE STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL, THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH FLUID IN THE CAR. PONTIAC SPECIAL WARRANTY COVERED POWER ASSIST MODULE TO BE REPLACED. SAME THING FAILED LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL. NO WARNING. PONTIAC WILL NOT APPROVE OF STEERING COLUMN TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR. BUT SHE WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY BEFORE THIS.

TAKAKA RECALL MY POWER STEERING LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEGAN TO SHAKE PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE. PLEASE HELP.

THE AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE POWERSTEERING IS ELECTRIC AND NOT PUMP ASSIST AND IT KEEPS GOING OUT AND NOW MAY HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE STERRING COLUMN. HAVE CALLED GMC TO COMPLAIN AND STILL MO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. GOOGLE MY ISSUE ABD FOUND THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH MY CAR THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. FEEL HELPLESS

A YEAR AGO I HAD THE POWER STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. YESTERDAY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR (THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED). YET THE WARRANTY FROM THE LAST ONE I HAD REPLACED WAS UP. I CALLED GM TO SEE ABOUT THE DEFICIENT PART AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. ALSO, THEY DO NO SELL THE SENSOR TO CUSTOMERS, ONLY TO A DEALERSHIP - SO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN JUST TO GET A NEW SENSOR - THE PART THAT I JUST HAD REPLACED FROM THE RECALL! MY QUESTION IS NOW DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING DEFICIENT PARTS THAT THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND?!

POWER STEERING WENT OUT, NEARLY WENT INTO DITCH. NOW SOMETIMES SHAKES THE WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING. SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK AT ALL - COMES AND GOES INTERMITTENTLY, PARKED, HAS NOT WENT TOTALLY OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING BUT HAS INTERMITTENT SHAKES. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT SOMEHOW (ACCORDING TO GM) MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT COVERED WHEN MOST OF 2008 AND 3 YEARS BEFORE AND 2 YEARS AFTER WERE 100% COVERED/RECALLED (BUILD DATE FEW MONTHS WINDOW IN LATE 2007?) . IF 5 YEARS OF PRODUCTION ON AT LEAST 3 VEHICLE MODELS GETS RECALLED, WHY NOT A COUPLE MONTHS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT?

AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, OR ANY OTHER GEAR IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE SHIFT LEVER MOVES INTO THE POSITIONS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR REMAINS IN A NUETRAL POSITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT ALLOW ANY MOVEMENT. WITH THAT THE CAR IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD, OR REVERSE DEPENDING ON THE LEVELNESS OF THE AREA IT IS PARKED IN. ONCE THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF, THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THE ENGINE TRIES TO START, BUT WON'T. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE CAR WILL START AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE AGAIN.

MY AIR BAGS DON'T WORK IN MY CAR. MY CAR WAS KEPT OUTSIDE ALL THESE YEARS. MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND MY VOLUME FOR THE RADIO AND ILLUMINATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK. I NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT HAD ISSUES WITH AN AIRBAG. I'D BE WILLING TO SPEAK TO THE MEDIA AND TV PERSONNEL.

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR. FUEL MODULE ASSEMBLY AND DEFECTIVE O-RING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JS

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHILE DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN BRAKING. CURRENTLY THERE'S ONLY 50K MILES ON IT. TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY REPLACE SOME SWITCH BUT IT DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO IF THE MECHANICS CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM FOR A PERMANENT FIX. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH NO REAL "FIX." CHECKED FOR RECALL AND HAVEN'T FOUND ONE.

2008 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND NEAR CRASHES. I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES, INTO OTHER VEHICLES, AND ACROSS MY FRONT LAWN WHEN TRYING TO TURN OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON 12/18/17 FOR RECALL #14118 (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING). UNDER THIS RECALL, DEALERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE THE EPS MOTOR. MY EPS MOTOR WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, REPLACING THIS MOTOR DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW RENDERED USELESS TO ME BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT ANY OTHER WORK PERFORMED TO RESOLVE THE POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT-OF-POCKET BY ME. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT (HENCE THE RECALLS) AND SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR ALLEVIATING THE PROBLEM CREATED BY THIS DEFECT.

MY VEHICLE IS NOT REGISTERING THAT IT IS IN PARK CAUSING IT TO BE A VERY BAD CONCERN. IF I CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT REGISTERED THAT IT IS IN PARK I CANNOT RESTART MY CAR.

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY TIGHT AND I WOULD HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHILE SITTING STILL THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. STARTED IT UP THE NEXT DAY AND IT TURNED WITH NO PROBLEM.
