2009 Pontiac G6 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

THE STEERING FAILED 2 OR SO YEARS AGO, THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR AND SENSOR UNDER A SERVICE ORDER FROM GM #15356 SO THEY NEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT WANT TO GET RECALLS INVOLVED. THEY GAVE A WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES THE CAR HAS 155867 MILES ON IT AND THEY ARE SAYING SORRY ITS NOT OUR PROBLEM, (#8-3849375898 CURRENT GM CASE #) EVEN WITH ALL STEERING ASSIST GONE.

HI I HAVE A PROBLEM I HAVE A RECALL AND THE RECALL NUMBER IS N140115 AND IT WAS FOR MY POWER STEERING I HAVE CALLED PONTIAC AND IF TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A SPECIAL COVERAGE WITH A LIMITED WARRANTY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT CANNOT BE A RECALL AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, I ALMOST CRASHED GOING INTO WORK BECAUSE IT WENT OUT ON ME, I GET IN MY CAR TURN IT ON AND START DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ABOUT HALF WAY TO WORK AND I GO TO TURN AND IT GOT REAL HARD AND ALMOST WENT INTO A DITCH TRYING TO TURN, THIS IS NOT SAFE AND I NEED TO GET TO WORK, I HAVE TRIED TALKING TO GM AND PONTIAC BUT THEY WOULD NOT HELP, IT SAYS RECALL NOT "SPECIAL COVERAGE"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

I HAVE REPLACED 6 BULBS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHTS I THOUGHT THEY WERE BLOWN BUT COME TO FIND OUT THEY SHORT BECAUSE THEY ARE MELTING. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING AND THE HEADLIGHT SOCKETS JUST FOR THEM TO MELT AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED CHEVORLET AND GM MOTORS TO SEE WHY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE??? TONIGHT I DROVE DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD (WE'VE HAD A WRECK ON THIS ROAD EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK) IN VERY DANGEROUS FOG AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT THANK GOD ONE OF MY BRIGHTS WORKED AND I HAD A QUICK REACTION GOING 55MPH NOT EVERYONE WILL AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE CHEVORLET & GM MOTORS KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE AS THEY TOLD ME IN OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. THE WIRES TO MY HEADLIGHTS ARE MELTING I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I'M TERRIFIED THEY WILL CATCH ON FIRE AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOW I AM HORRIFIED THAT ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! WE'RE RECALLING TAKATA AIRBAGS (AIRBAGS PROTECT YOU IN A CRASH) BUT NOT HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT? THAT IS PUTTING EVERYONE'S SAFETY AT RISK. WHY ARE WE NOT TRYING TO PREVENT FATALITIES???!!!!

POWER STEERING IS LOST WHILE DRIVING AND LOCKED UP AT START OF CAR. THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AS WELL.

WHEN I START THE CAR, OCCASIONALLY THE STEERING LIGHT WILL DISPLAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I START IT BUT IT IS A CONCERN AND THERE ARE SOME RECALLS CONCERNING STEERING BUT I DO NOT FIND MY CAR LISTED.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE I AM DRIVING MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 IT WILL RANDOMLY DING AT ME SAYING POWER STEERING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I WAS TURNING ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND I ALMOST HAD A WRECK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AGAIN YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2009 G6 FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND PULLED ONTO A VERY BUSY ROAD. AFTER GOING ABOUT 200 FEET, THE ENGINE REVVED, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT "PULLING". OTHER CARS CAME UP BEHIND ME VERY QUICKLY AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR ME TO PULL OVER, AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT HILL AHEAD OF ME. I "PLAYED" WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO TRY TO GET THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION TO CATCH, ALL THE WHILE CARS WERE PRACTICALLY PUSHING ME. THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT I HAD PULED OUT AND WAS JUST DRIVING VERY SLOWLY. THEY STARTED TO HONK THEIR HORNS. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION BUCKED AND BANGED AND I MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL, AND OVER TO A SPOT ALONG SIDE THE ROAD WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. THE COMPUTER HAD PUT UP TWO ERROR CODES OF P0776 (CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 2 STUCK OFF), AND P0700 (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REQUESTED MIL ILLUMINATION). I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS LIKELY WAS A FAILURE OF THE "3, 5, REVERSE PLATE" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND TRANSMISSION. GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND HAS EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS FAILURE FOR 2007 TO 2009 PONTIAC G6'S FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW ON 12/20/09, AND IT HAD 100,160 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED GM (CASE #[XXX]) AND THEY CLAIMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS A CODE OF MH8. THEY SAID ONLY TRANSMISSIONS WITH A BUILD CODE OF MH2, MH4, MH6, AND MY9 ARE COVERED. THEY TOLD ME THAT TH

MY NEIGHBOR WHO ALSO OWNS A G6 WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK MY CAR WITH HER KEY? HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED?

I OWN A PONTIAC G6 2009 AND OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT GOING ON AND OFF WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATIONAL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE GROUND IS SMOOTH OR ROUGH IT GOES ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD THE BULB REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS THE CONNECTOR AND THE HEADLIGHT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG G6 OWNERS. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

I RECEIVED A BRAKE LIGHT RECALL IN THE MAIL. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING AND SOMETIMES NOT. THEY SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN I AM NOT BRAKING AND SOMETIMES DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN I AM BRAKING. I CLEARLY HAVE THE PROBLEM NOTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I AM NOW TRYING TO FIND THE NOTICE THAT CAME IN THE MAIL. I HAVE MISPLACED IT, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME. I AM A LOW INCOME PERSON AND CANNOT AFFORD THE EXPENSE OF HAVING THIS REPAIRED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT.

GERALD HORNE A & A AUTOMOTIVE 1620 STATE ST. FLORENCE, AL 35630 CONFIDENTIAL THIS MAN SOLD ME A 2009 PONTIAC G6 GXP THAT HE BOUGHT AT AN AUCTION THAT HAD BEEN WRECKED ON JULY 17, 2017 FOR $6,000. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD 'FIX EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED FIXING ON THE CAR TO MAKE IT DRIVABLE AND ACCEPTABLE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT,' EVEN SAYING HE WOULD 'PROVIDE AN OIL CHANGE.' ON JULY 17, 2017, HE DELIVERED CAR TO MY HOME. CAR 'LOOKED' PRETTY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE TWO BACK 'CHROME' (HE'D TOLD ME 'CHROME' BUT THEY ARE PLASTIC) RIMS. THEY WERE SCRATCHED REALLY BAD. MY GRANDSON CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS QUITE LOW, DIRTY, AND DARK. I CONTACTED MR. HORNE AND TOLD HIM I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE SCRATCHED RIMS AND THAT HE NEEDED TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE HE HAD PROMISED. HE SAID HE WOULD REPLACE THE RIMS AND PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE. HE PICKED UP THE CAR THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN JULY 18, 2017. ON JULY 20, 2017, HE DELIVERED THE CAR TO THE FLORENCE, AL YMCA WHERE MY GRANDSON WAS PLAYING BASKETBALL AND MY GRANDSON DROVE THE CAR TO OUR HOME, WHICH IS CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN FLORENCE. [THE RIMS WERE STILL THE SAME. HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANY MORE USED RIMS AND WOULD HAVE TO ORDER NEW ONES. I TOLD HIM OK. HE HAS YET TO PROVIDE THOSE NEW RIMS.] WE DID NOT CHECK THE OIL AT THIS TIME, AS HORNE HAD GIVEN HIS WORD THE OIL WAS CHANGED AT THIS TIME, BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF THE OIL WAS CHANGED OR NOT, AS HE SAID IT WAS. REMEMBER, UPON INITIAL DELIVERY, OIL WAS CHECKED AND WAS QUITE LOW, DARK, AND VE

HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT DOESN'T WORK - THE LEFT CUTS OUT. I'VE SEEN REPORTS THAT GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP OR GM SERVICE DIRECT THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. GM SERVICE HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I TOLD THE PERSON THAT IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THROTTLE BODY AND A HEADLIGHT THEY SHOULDN'T BE MANNING THE SERVICE LINE FOR GENERAL MOTORS.

AFTER PARKING MY CAR I SMELL A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL FOR SEVERAL HOURS SO I CAN NOT PARK MY CAR IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE BECAUSE IT MAKES MY WHOLE HOUSE SMELL LIKE GAS. IT STARTED IN OUR OVER 100 DEGREE SUMMER WEATHER AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. IT ALSO STARTS HARD AFTER IT HAS SAT FOR SOME HOURS. I AM AFRAID IT COULD START A FIRE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR!!! I SEE THE 2009 G5 HAS A RECALL FOR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE. A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE (A CRACK) BUT I DO NOT SEE ONE FOR THE G6.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY RIGHT FRONT LOWBEAM HEADLIGHT. I HAD IT CHANGED OUT AND IT STILL WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE BODY SHOP MAN THERE TOLD ME IT MAY BE A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FOR ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE FRONT AND TALK TO THEM. THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE JUST TO SEE IF IT IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I CAME CLOSE ON GETTING PULLED OVER. THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDN'T IS BECAUSE I HURRIED UP AND GOT OUT OF SIGHT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET HAS GOTTEN OVERHEATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE PLASTIC HAS MELTED AWAY CAUSING THE LIGHT TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. I REPLACED THIS SOCKET MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE ALSO MADE SURE THAT ALL GROUNDING POINTS WERE CLEAR AND WORKING PROPERLY, WHICH THEY WERE ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE DATE I HAVE PROVIDED IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IF YOU GO ONTO THE INTERNET AND DO A GOOGLE SEARCH IT COMES UP INSTANTLY WITH COUNTLESS ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. MY SISTER OWNS THE SAME VECHILE BUT IS A 2006 AND SHE HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD BOTH LIGHTS FAIL AT NIGHT.

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING AND VEHICLE BECOMES UNTURNABLE UNTIL CAR IS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON.

LOW BEAMS HAVE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. THEY STARTED TO GO OFF ONE AT A TIME AND WOULD COME BACK ON IF I BANGED ON THEM..HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.. I NOW DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH HIGH BEAMS ON SINCE THOSE ARE THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT WORK.

WE HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ALMOST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS DUE TO WIRING 'BURNING' AND CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE ACTUAL LIGHT BULBS THEMSELVES ARE FINE. IT IS THE CONNECTION TO THE BULB THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS FIRST NOTICED WHEN STARTING THE CAR WHILE EVEN HAVING HEADLAMPS SET TO AUTOMATIC, THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP. SOMETIMES ONCE YOU START DRIVING, ONE LIGHTS UP WHILE THE OTHER REMAINS OUT. HIGH BEAMS, FOG LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE FINE.

POWER STEERING LOSS INTERMITTENTLY AT TIMES POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE LIGHT GOS OUT BUT THE SAME POWER STEERING LOSS HAPPENS A FEW DAYS LATER.HAPPENS AT OFF RAMPS TOO WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION

TWICE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY 09 PONTIAC G6. BOTH TIMES THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN USE AND MAKING A TURN. I NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUED IN 2014, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMP IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, AND AM NOW ON APRIL 27 2017 HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK IN DUE TO POWER STEERING ISSUES. I AM UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THE 09 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING RECALL DID NOT EXTEND TO MY VIN NUMBER, BUT CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING THAT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND NORMAL WEAR FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 45 MPH STREET WHEN POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE WITH AN ALARM. SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL EXPERIENCED, BUT NO ACCIDENT. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED AND POWER STEERING BECAME OPERABLE AGAIN. GOT VEHICLE HOME AND NEXT DAY TRIED STARTING AND ALARM CAME BACK ON WITH NO POWER STEERING. AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND HOPE THERE IS A RECALL IN THE WORKS. NOT SAFE! *TR

'STEARING ANGLE SENSOR RECALL' THERE IS A RECALL ON 2 DOOR MODELS AND NOT THE FOUR DOOR MODELS. THESE VEHICALS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PART ON THEM THAT GOES BAD. IS THERE NO SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ITS A FOUR DOOR. IF THE STEERING COMPONENT IS BAD IT DOSE NOT MATTER HOW MANY DOORS THE CAR HAS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TODAY AND MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKET TWICE. BOTH TIMES IT SHOWED SIGNS OF IT BEING MELTED. PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LAMPS WORK, SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES A TAP ON THE LENS COVER TO GET THEM WORKING. PLAYING AROUND WITH HOW THEY SIT IN THE SOCKET WORKS, UNTIL THEY WIGGLE OUT AND NO LONGER WORK UNTIL YOU WIGGLE IT BACK IN, OR TAP THE LENS COVER. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF MY HEADLAMPS.

VEHICLE STEERING STUTTERS,CLANKS,CLUNKS AND HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR/MODULE ASSEMBLY AND SAID IT WAS COVERED BY GM,AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING CAR IT STILL DID THE SAME THING,NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE US TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WE TOOK IT IN FOR TO BEGIN WITH. THE (ISS) INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WITH FACTORY GM PART , WHICH WAS ALSO BAD WHEN 1ST TOOK IN BUT THEY DIDN'T POINT OUT. THIS HAS SO FAR BEEN A GREAT CAR AND NOW HAS OVER 144,000 MILES AND I REALIZE THERE ARE GONNA BE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MUCH MILEAGE , BUT THE STEERING ISSUE IS REALLY GETTING SCARY AND STILL NOT FIXED AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING PARTS THAT AREN'T FIXING IT. GM SHOULD'VE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR AS THEY DID OTHERS AND FIXED IT WITH NO COST...

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. DOES NOT WORK ABOUT ONCE OUT OF EVERY 4 TIME CAR IS STARTED. MUST SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART TO HAVE STEERING WORK. SOMETIMES GOES OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN CAR IS STOPPED OR IDLE.
