2009 Pontiac G6 complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY CARE AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED AT MT TEMP AND IT WAS FINE. THE SMOKE STAR6COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASH. I TURNED CAR OFF THEN FLAMES STARTED BURNING THROUGH DASH AND UNDER THE HOOD. THIS TOOK PLACE IN MY DRIVEWAY

EVERY TIME I'M TURNING SLIGHTLY RIGHT MY POWER STEERING GOES OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREETS. IF I TURN OFF CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN. I HAD THE COMPUTER RESET AND AFTER ONE DAY IT FAILED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S JUST THE TORQUE SENSOR, COMPUTER OR STEERING COLUMN.

I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING WILL COME ACROSS THE RADIO AND IT'S HARD TO STEER HOWEVER IF I PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT GOES AWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES

MY VEHICLE JERKS TO THE LEFT WHEN BREAKING AND I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING IT. SO I LOOKED MY VEHICLE UP AND IT HAS A FEW RECALLS INCLUDING THE STEERING WHICH COULD BE CAUSED FRONT HE JOINT BEARING IT SAYS WHICH CAN FAIL AND PREMATURELY CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE U-JOINT AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH IS A HIGH RISK OF A CRASH. SO I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY DORMAN OR USE THIS WEBSITE TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW.

OK FIRST MY STEREO WAS WORKING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ONLY THE TWEETERS ARE WORKING NOW AND THEN JUS LAST NIGHT THE POWER STEERING MESSED UP THE LIGHT ON MY DASH CAME ON AN CAN'T BARELY STEER IT I'M NOT AS WORRIED ABOUT THE STEREO AS I AM THE POWER STEERING SO I WAS WONDERING IS THERE A RECALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT'S DANGEROUS AND SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPEN COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

THE POWER STEERING SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. ON MY MESSAGE CENTER THE WORDS “POWER STEERING” APPEARED AND I HAD LOST POWER STEERING TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER..

THE POWER STEERING SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED GM TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR MADE A 'DINGING' SOUND AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. ON MY MESSAGE CENTER THE WORDS 'POWER STEERING' APPEARED AND I HAD LOST POWER STEERING TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO MANEUVER AT THIS POINT.

UPON TURNING MY CAR ON EARLIER TODAY I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL IS HARDLY MOVING AND A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE IS BEING DISPLAYED ON MY RADIO. THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A LOT OF MILES. I READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH PONTIAC G6 STEERING WHEEL SO I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT

THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM HAS FAILED SO THAT THE POWER STEERING IS SPONTAIASLY DISABLED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS CONCERNING THIS AND THE RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT. RECALL # 14V153000. RECALL DATE IS 3/21/2014. ANOTHER RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IS RECALL #N140115, BULLETIN #14119 (TO PROVIDE EPS MOTOR FOR "THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE". I HAVE CALLED THE TOLL FREE NUMBER AND SPOKE WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE UNIT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER CHECKING, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL CONCERNING PROBLEM. RECALL DATE 3/31/14 WITH THE 2005-2009 PONTIAC G6. I CONTACTED THE GM REPRESENTATIVE AT THE 1800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL DOESN'T PERTAIN TO THE PARTICULAR 09 G6 THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT APPLICATION OF BRAKE PEDAL AND DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. RECALL 13036 HAS BEEN APPLIED...SAME PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE RESURFACED. CAN HAPPEN IN MOTION OR STATIONARY; ANY ROAD/DRIVING CONDITIONS.

PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT GM OFFER TO RECALL BUT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FOR MY CAR. MY CAR WAS CLEARLY EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. IT'S A SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALMOST KILLED MY SELF MY SON AND MY UNBORN CHILD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASTOR AND DECIDE TO GO OUT THE FIRST TIME AND CAUSED ME TO GO OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BEING PREGNANT WITH HIGH RISK PREGNANCY MADE STEERING MY CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR OR POWER STEERING WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT IS THE WORST THING GM EVER DID. IT'S PROBABLY CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED EVEN. AND THEY WON'T COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THERE RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM

MY EPS KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER MY CAR. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THE RECALLS BUT, CAN NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEMS. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I FEELS IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

WAS DRIVING AND SAW A FLAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD.*LN*JB

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT GOES OUT, I MUST STEER MANUALLY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN MY LANE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS AS OF YE, BUT CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE, IT IS FINE AND POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IN YEARS PAST BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED IN AWHILE SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN.

GOT PULLED OVER FOR BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ACTING WHEN ENGAGED, AND VICEVERSA. OFFICER NOTICED I WAS DRIVING FINE, BUT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT. ISSUES WITH STEERING, JERKY MOTIONS AT LOW SPEED CAN'T DISENGAGE PARKING OR PARKING BRAKE WITHOUT BRAKING ENGAGED SHIFT STICK WHEN CHANGING TO DRIVE CONSTANT STEERING AND TIRE SENSOR SERVICE SENSOR

ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL ODOR WHICH IS CAUSED BY POOR MATERIAL USED ON FUEL PUMP. IT IS AROUND REAR OF CAR AND INSIDE CAR, ALSO OVER MUFFLER. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO GM FOR A RECALL. HAPPENS TO 99% OF THESE VEHICLES. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN.

I WAS PARKED IN A MOSTLY VACANT PARKING LOT ABOUT 8PM. I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AFTER COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE. I PUT KEY INTO IGNITION BUT DID NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK OR MOVE THE CAR. I TURNED ON THE DOME LIGHT TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. AS I WAS LEANING TOWARD PASSENGER DOOR, THE HEAD CURTAIN AND SEAT SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED LITERALLY IN MY FACE. ONLY THE AIR BAGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT WAS VERY LOUD AND SOME POWDERY TYPE SUBSTANCE HAD BEEN DISPENSED INTO THE AIR. IT MADE INTERIOR SURFACES FEEL A BIT SLIPPERY , HAD A STRONG ODOR AND MADE MY EYES BURN. HAVING NEVER EXPERIENCED AIR BAGS DEPLOYING ,IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR HAD JUST EXPLODED.FOR A MOMENT I COULD NOT SEE OR HEAR. I THEN REMOVED THE KEY AND OPENED DRIVERS DOOR. I SAW SOMETHING DUSTY FLOAT OUT ON THE AIR. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AT THAT POINT I LOOKED OVER THE CAR ,SAW THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED.THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ANYWHERE NEAR ME NOR WAS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT ANYTHING HAD HIT THE CAR. IT WAS QUITE A SHOCK TO HAVE THIS RANDOMLY HAPPEN. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT . AFTER STARTING THE CAR TO SEE HOW IT RAN ,I DROVE IT HOME. I REPORTED IT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.AFTER MANY QUESTIONS AND SEVERAL DAYS OF REVIEW I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO IMPACT AND AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A MECHANICAL FAILURE.

BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE REPLACED BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR AND NOW THE TRUNK BRAKE LIGHT IS THE ONLY ONE WORKING REGULAR LIGHTS ALL WORK BUT THE LIGHT ON THE TRUNK IS THE ONLY BRAKE LIGHT THAT WORKS WHEN PRESSING THE FOOT PEDAL.

WHILE DRIVING CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS YOU LOSE POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT HARD TO TURN VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN POWER TO THE STEERING CONTROL IS TO COMPLETELY TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY.

STEERING WHEEL TWITCHES AND SHAKES WHILE IN IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN ON AGAIN, POWER STEERING WILL COME BACK. LOSS OF POWER STEERING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE IDLE.

THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR IS INCREDIBLY BAD. IF I START MY CAR, I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, IT NEEDS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO TURN. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN, ITS GOOD AS NEW...UNTIL I START DRIVING. IF I AM DRIVING TO A PLACE THAT TAKES 25 MINUTES, IT WILL LOCK UP ATLEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES. THIS MORNING WHILE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IT LOCKED UP AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND START IT UP AGAIN, IT STAYED LOCKED.

I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT.

WHEN FIRST STARTING UP THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL IS NORMAL. ONCE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE STEERING WHEN IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN.

EVENTUALLY, THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND A MESSAGE OF POWER STEERING WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS WAS CORRECTED TEMPORARILY AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT. I HAD AT LEAST A DOZEN EPISODES OF THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.THIS WOULD OCCUR AT TIMES WHEN FIRST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND AFTER I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT WHILE AT IDLE. I AM CONCERNED OF THIS PREVENTING ME FROM STEERING IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. I AM TRYING TO USE THIS CAR AS LEAST AS POSSIBLE UNTIL IT IS CORRECTED.
