2009 Pontiac G6 complaints

MY POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY QUIT WORKING. IT HAS QUIT WORKING DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING IDLE.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE POWER STEERING ALERT HAD BEEN APPEARING SPARATICALLY ON INFO CONSOLE. I NEVER LOST POWER STEERING. AT MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT ITHERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT. FOUR AND A HALF HOURS LATER, THEY HAVE TAKEN MY STEERING COLUMN APART AND SAY THEY CANNOT PUT IT TOGETHER AGAIN UNTIL THEY HAVE A NEW PART FOR IT. THAT WAS FIVE DAYS AGO NOW AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY'VE REPLACED MY TORQUE SENSOR FIVE TIMES, BUT HAVN'T BEEN ABLE TO PROGRAM IT. SO NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME MY STEERING COLUMN IS BROKEN AND THAT I NEED TO SPEND $625 FOR A NEW ONE. MY STEERING COLUMN WAS NOT BROKEN WHEN I DROVE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHAT I FIGURED WOULD BE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. IF THE TORQUE SENSOR (RECALLED) REQUIRES A NEW STEERING COLUMN IN ORDER TO BE PROGRAMMED, THEN THAT SHOULDN'T THAT REPLACEMENT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL FULFILLMENT?

VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT STOP LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A DING AND THEN A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE RADIO SCREEN. I LOST POWER STEERING FOR ABOUT 1 MILE I DROVE. NORMAL POWER STEERING RESUMED WHEN I DROVE CAR SEVERAL HOURS LATER. DASH THERMOMETER AT TIME READ 16 DEGREES FARENHEIT

I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WHERE THE POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ALL ATOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. I HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH PICTURES, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO HELP. THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OTHER YEARS OF THE PONTIAC G6. GM WEBSITE SAYS THEY FIX THE PROBLEM ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PICTURE AND VIDEO PROOF MEAN NOTHING IF THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. CODES FLASH ACROSS DISPLAY THAT SAY "CHECK POWER STEERING " "SERVICE TRACTION" "SERVICE ESC". ONLY WAY FOR ME TO CLEAR IS TO SHUT OFF CAR AND TURN BACK ON. ALL PEER STEERING IS LOST WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. ALTHOUGH I'VE LISTED. ONLY ONE DATE, WHICH WAS THE MOST RECENT, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 1/2014, TWICE IN 7/2014, 12/2016 AND IN 3/2017.

THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE HAVE COMPLETELY SNAPPED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN 4 CYL MODELS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 6 CYL MODELS. MY CAR WILL NOT GO IN TO PARK. IT WILL NOT START. YOU CAN ACTUALLY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SEE THAT THE LINKAGE HAS PLAY. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I'M THANKFUL WE LIVE IN A FLAT AREA. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE WILL END UP HURT OR DEAD BECAUSE OF IT.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AROUND 2012 AND SINCE HAS HAD POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AT LEAST ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WOULD BE SHUT OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IN THE LAST TWO DAYS THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF EVERY FEW MILES WHILE IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WOULD TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND FEW MILES LATER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS ISSUE.

IN A ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) HOWEVER, THE REPAIR FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWAY BAR LINK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

SHIFT CABLE TAB BROKE CAUSING CAR TO BE STUCK IN DRIVE. 460000 WERE RECALLED BUT MY WAS NOT. THEY SAID IT IS BECAUSE I HAD A 3SPEED INSTEAD OF 4SPEED. THE PART IS THE SAME. DICK NORRIS BUICK SAID THEY KNEW ALL ABOUT THIS AND HAD SEVERAL REPAIR KITS ON HAND. ITHEY APPEARED TO BE ANNOYED BY RECALL WORK. WHEN STOPPING TO PARK AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK THE CAR STAYED IN DRIVE I CANNOT RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT MANUALLY MOVING THE SHIFTER UNDER THE HOOD. MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL RECALL.

THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN NOT ON THE HIGHWAY ( YET) BUT IN TOWN TURNING ON TO ROADS AND AND IN PARKING LOTS.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON "AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICED" WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN SEAT OR NOT. I AM CURIOUS IF THE PONTIAC G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE LAST RECALL FOR AIRBAGS (17V601) OR UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL? ISN'T ON CONSTANTLY. POPS ON AND OFF . DATE HAPPENED HAS BEEN VARIOUS

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON THE CAR HAS FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES AND ILLUMINATED A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY STATING "POWER STEERING". WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STRENGTH TO MANEUVER THE CAR. GM HAS RECALLED MANY OF THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES.

I STARTED THE CAR AS USUAL EVERY MORNING. I PUT THE SHIFT IN REVERSE AND BAGGED UP. I NOTICED IT MOVED A BIT TO FREELY BUT I PROCEEDED TO BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE TO GO FORWARD AND TAKE MY FEET OFF BREAKS IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I HAD TO HIT THE BREAKS BECAUSE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK AND HAD MY KIDS IN MY CAR. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD NOT GO IT WOULD STILL ROLL. I THEN RECALLED THIS HAPPENING TO MY HUSBAND AND HAVING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TO GET FIXED WITH US PAYING ALMOST $400 AND APPARENTLY IT NOT BEING DONE CORRECTLY. MORE TO THE POINT. IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT GEAR THE CAR WAS IN IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE AND I HAD TO STICK SOMETHING BEHIND IT TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING EVEN AFTER I GOT IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF IT WAS NO-LONGER ABLE TO CRANK AND OR SHIFT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF THE FAULTY GGAS TANK LEAK COVERING THE G6 UP TO 2008 BUT MINE IS A 2009. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO NOT COVER EVERY YEAR THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE GAS LEAKS RIGHT ONTO THE MUFFLER WHICH IS HOT AND CAN BE DEADLY IN MY OPINION. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE I TOOK A GOOD LOOK AT HOW BAD THE LEAK ACTUALLY IS. PONTIAC HAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE DEATH IF THE GASOLINE IGIGNITESR THE FUMES FALLING DIRECTLY ON THE HOT MUFFLER CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.I TOOK SEVERAL PHOTOS SHOWING THE EXTENT OF THE LEAK. PONTIAC CUSTOMER SUPPORT SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN A PLANT THAT FIXED THE LEAK ISSUE ALREADY. WHEN I ASKED THE REP IF IT WAS FIXED ALREADY EHY WAS IT LEAKING HE HAD NO ANSWER. ONLY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF OUT OF POCKET. HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO PUT THE PUBLIC AT GRAVE RISK AND NOT BE RESPINSIBLE FOR FIXING THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? THIS ISSUE SERMS VERY SERIOUS TO ME SND I JUST PRAY NOBODY GETS BLOEN UP.IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO? UNBELIEVABLE... P.S. CAR LEAKS ANYTIME IT IS ON AND GAS LINES ARE PRESSURIZED. IN THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MUFFLER IS BATHED WITH GASOLINE WHICH CAN EASILY CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

DEAR NHTSA; I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6 THAT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK INCURRED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. RECALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ON MARCH 2014 THE NHTSA REQUIRED GM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT ONLY COVERED THE G6 MODELS UP TO THE YEAR 2009 BUT NOT ALL 2009. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE NOT ALL OF THE 2009 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FALLS TO THE CONSUMER AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1,800 TO $2,000 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIRRORS THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC'S AS EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I URGE THE NHTSA TO RE-VISIT THE MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ACCORDINGLY AND AMEND THE POWER STEERING RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL 2009 MODELS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE POWER STEERING JUST SUDDENLY GOES OUT AND I GET A MESSAGE ON RADIO THAT SAYS POWER STEERING. I STOP THE CAR AND KILL THE ENGINE AND IT WORKS AGAIN. SOMETIMES LONGER THAN OTHERS. IT'S A 2009 JUST HIT 161K MILES SO NOT SURE IF IT IS EVEN COVER ED NY ANYTHING

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN FIRST STARTED, BUT WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS AND NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. IT QUIT ALTOGETHER 2 WEEKS AGO. *TR

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I HAD THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR REPLACED BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. WHILE RESEARCHING, I FOUND A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT COME UP WHEN I PUT IN MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. IT IS RECALL NHTSA # 14V153000. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN GET THIS ISSUE FIXED UNDER THIS RECALL. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY CAR AS THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. *TR

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE NOTICEABLE FROM 10 OR MORE FEET AWAY FROM VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OR RUNNING. CANNOT PARK IN GARAGE DUE TO STRONG FUEL SMELL. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OVERFILLED. SMELL HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE FOR MANY MONTHS BUT IS GETTING STRONGER LATELY. RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET YIELDS MANY RESULTS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, FOCUSED ON A DEFECTIVE ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND TURNING RIGHT DOWN ANOTHER STREET MY DIC FLASHED ERROR MESSAGE POWER STEERING. WHILE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AS OF YET ON 12/26/2016, I HAVE LOOKED INTO THE RECALLS REGARDING ALL OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE PONTIAC G6 WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ISSUE. IT CONCERNS ME DEEPLY. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVES IT TO WORK DAILY, TAKES OUR 17 YEAR OLD TO WORK, AND DRIVES OUR 4 AND 10 YEAR OLDS PLACES TOO. I'M FEARING FOR THERE LIVES KNOWING THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE POWER STEERING COULD GO OUT AND CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHILE KNOWING THAT ALMOST ALL OTHER G6'S ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EXCEPT OURS IS VERY UPSETTING. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THIS TO A GM DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING FOR FREE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF ME, MY FAMILY, OTHER G6 OWNERS NOT ON THE RECALL, AND OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE AND TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT WAS DIFFICULT TO RELEASE OR PRESS DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

POWER STEERING QUIT WITHOUT WARNING. HAD JUST STOPPED THANKFULLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS MADE A CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOORS WERE DIFFICULT TO OPEN. ALSO, THE HORN SOUNDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,226.

ENGINE IS 3.5 L V6 . AFTER STARTING ENGINE, SEVERAL MINUTES LATER ENGINE STARTS MAKING A LOUD RAPPING NOISE WHICH LASTS SEVERAL MORE MINUTES, THEN SLOWLY DISAPPEARS. GM DEALER INVESTIGATED AND SAID IT DID NOT KNOW CAUSE. SAID WAIT TILL NOISE IS SEVERE.I THINK IT IS TIMING CHAIN RELATED! TENSIONER, WORN GUIDE. ONLY 3000 MILES ON ENGINE. 11/5/2016.

I'VE PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MAY2016. I NOTICE ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION ISSUE RIGHT AWAY. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD FIX DRIFTING PROBLEMS I GOT IT IN RIGHTING. I'VE HAD SIX ALIGNMENT. I DRIVE TERRIFIED EVERYDAY. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY CAR JUST DON'T DRIVE STRAIGHT. THE CAR STEERING SEEMS LIKE IT DON'T MATCH UP WITH MY TURNS. OR LIKE IT DOES NOT HUG THE ROAD.VERY SCARY WHEN WINDY ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINY.STOPPING I FEEL AS IF THE CAR WANTS TO TURN. JUST DON'T SEEM STABLE.I HAVE TO PUSH ALL HIGHWAY GOING TO WORK.I JUST GOT OUT OF PAPER TAGS AFTER 120 DAYS. THE STREETS SEEM UNEVEN. WHILE DRIVING.I NEED HELP. IVE CONSULTED ATTORNEY GENERAL OFF. ALSO MVA. I PURCHASED CAR FROM WALDORF CHEVROLET IN WALDOF MD PONTIAC GT G6 2009

I PUT IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY G6 JUST THE OTHER DAY AND THE POWER STEERING FLUCTUATING ON AND OFF AND MY STEERING WHEEL MOVING UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE IN IDLE. I STATED HOW I HAVE AN 18 MONTH OLD AND HATE DRIVING WITH HER IN THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS NO MORE POWER STEERING ASSIST. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T ON CURVE OR HAD TO TURN ANYTIME SOON. BEING A PETITE WOMAN, I BARELY HAD ENOUGH STRENGTH TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR MY HUSBAND TO SHOW UP AND DRIVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ON A ROAD THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHY IS MY CAR NOT ON A RECALL LIST? I WANT THIS FIXED. *TR

POWER STEERING WARNING BEGAN COMING ON A FEW MONTHS AGO ON THE DISPLAY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY AND THE WHEEL TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT TOOK MORE THAN ONE ATTEMPT. AT ONE POINT IT TOOK HALF AN HOUR OF RESTARTING THE CAR TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. I NOTICED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN IDLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE. ONE DAY, THE PROBLEM JUST WENT AWAY. WELL, THE OTHER DAY, THIS STARTED AGAIN, ONLY IT'S BEEN MUCH WORSE.. THE CAR HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES. IN IDLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO HARD THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE CAR.WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR NOW JERKS TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING! I HAVE BEEN SO AFRAID THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE AN 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT I HATE PUTTING INTO THE CAR BECAUSE IF IT DOES GO OUT AND I LOSE CONTROL, I DON'T WANT HER TO LOSE HER LIFE. I RESEARCHED MY CAR AND FOUND OUT MY POWER STEERING IS ALL ELECTRIC. WHAT SHOULD I DO FROM HERE? I FEAR FOR MY LIFE & MY CHILD'S EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE. IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO AVOID AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO A DITCH AND ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

A FRIEND FOLLOWING ME 09-21-2016 NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON CONSTANTLY. DRIVING HOME THAT NIGHT I COULD TELL THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON, UNLESS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEY WOULD GO OFF. ALSO CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FOR 09-27-2016. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED CAR WITH A BAD BRAKE SWITCH. CAR WAS REPAIRED AND PICKED UP ON 09-30-2016 (BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED) COST 194.81. DROVE THE CAR ON A 300 MILE TRIP ON 10-13-2016. TRACTION WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO CHECKED ON BRAKE LIGHTS AND NOW THEY STAY CONSTANTLY. TRACTION WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY ALSO NOW.. THE CAR DID GO ON FOR THE RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2014. WE WERE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMPS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BULB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND THE TIRE LIGHT BOTH COME ON (NOT NECESSARILY AT THE SAME TIME) FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN CAR IS STARTED, THE CAR IS NOT MOVING AT THIS TIME. THERE IS ALSO A "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND SERVICE TIRE MONITOR" WARNING ON THE RADIO DISPLAY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. ALSO, IF THE LIGHTS, ETC. DO NOT COME ON WHEN STARTED, THEY DO NOT COME ON WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAGS AND POSSIBLY THE SEAT BELTS ARE DISABLED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

I PURCHASED THE 2009 PONTIAC G6 IN 2011, SINCE THEN I'VE REPLACED THE PASSENGERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGH BULB A TOTAL OF 10 TIMES. I'VE HAD 2 PIG TAILS INSTALLED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS; NOW THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST AS OF TODAY. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH PONTIAC G6 HEADLIGHTS SYSTEM. I'VE READ SERVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING.

YESTERDAY, MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE BACKING THE CAR. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE POWER STEERING BEGAN WORKING. I CALLED PONTIAC IN REGARDS TO THE STEERING RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN DID NOT INDICATE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE OTHER CARS SAME YEAR AS MINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. IT WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE TO CORRECT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T EVERY MANUFACTURED 2009 PONTIAC G6 WITH EPS.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AND WILL GO OFF WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. ALSO I WILL HAVE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY. SAME ISSUES UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V252000. DEALERSHIP HAS DONE RECALL WORK FOR THIS TWICE THEY TOLD ME AND HAVE CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIRS AND REPAIRS TO MY WARNING LIGHTS AS WELL AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ACTUALLY APPLIED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MALFUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

JUST PURCHASED A G6 AND SEVERAL RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR 2009.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRACTION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V25200 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

STRONG FUEL SMELL AND TAKES LONGER TO TURN OVER. PLASTIC HOSE ON TOP OF FUEL PUMP CRACKED REQUIRES ENTIRE FUEL PUMP TO BE REPLACED. SIMILAR ISSUE THAT REQUIRED RECALL OF PREVIOUS YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE IT IS STARTLING AND CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET VERY TIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING. IT CONTINUES TO BE LIKE THIS UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. BUT OCCURS AGAIN AT DIFFERENT TIMES WITHOUT WARNING.

I HAD POWER STEERING LOSE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEN IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT LIKE RESETS AND THEN IT'S FINE I ALSO HAD A FRIEND OF MINE TEXT ME AND TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BACKWARDS WHEN I WHEN I WAS BREAKING THE LIGHTS WERE OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAVE ALSO ALWAYS NOTICED THAT MY CAR SHIFTS WEIRD SOMETIMES WHEN I'M PASSING IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I CAN GET UP TO SPEED. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR AND 2010 IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD WITH VERY FEW MILES. RIGHT NOW I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 81,000 MILES ON IT. WITH ALL OF MY INCIDENTS WITH THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE LIGHTS I HAVE BEEN IN TOWN DRIVING ALL WERE IN MOTION. IN TOWN DRIVING HAS PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT 35 MILE AN HOUR I WOULD NEVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE OR HAVE ANY OF THESE ON THE HIGHWAY.

BRAKE LIGHT INTERMITTENT. ILLUMINATES WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED OR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. FIRST OCCURED 2013. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH,. THEN AGAIN IN JUNE 2015. DEALER RELEARNED BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH POSITION. OCCURRED AGAIN THIS WEEK. I HAVE NOT RETURNED TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICES. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. THIS DOES TO SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS RAINING HEAVILY. OTHER DRIVERS ON ROAD NOTIFIED ME WHEN PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING.

STRONG RAW FUEL ODOR AROUND AND INSIDE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY NEAR FUEL TANK. THE ODOR GETTING STRONGER EACH TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT PROVIDED.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY UNLESS THE BRAKE IS APPLIED (TALK ABOUT SAFETY HAZARD!), THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY DISENGAGE, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ALARM AND LIGHT UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN LIGHT RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING REPAIRED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE AN UNUSUAL NOISE WAS HEARD WHENEVER THE WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. UPDATED 07/28/16*LJ

POWER STEERING GOES OUT EXP WHEN IT IS COLD. GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING. IT MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE. GM SAYS TOUGH LUCK DUE TO MY VIN. THE ISSUE A RECALL FOR PR BUT ONLY COVER A FRACTION OF THE CARS WITH PROBLEMS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
