THERE WAS A CHIME AND "POWER STEERING" DISPLAYED ON THE DASH, NOTICED AN OCCASIONAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I CALLED WICKSTROM CHEVROLET IN ROSELLE AND I PROVIDED MY VIN NUMBER. THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE ON MY CAR AND I'M EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL DESCRIBES. I AFRAID THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. *JS

2009 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER SENT IN REPAIR INVOICE. *TA RECALL # 14V252000. *JB

THE GAS TANK ON THIS 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT IS LEAKING FUEL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT IS LEAKING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION USING NON GM AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT ONLY ON THE G6 BUT MANY OF THE GM VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO 2009. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY DUE THE FUEL LEAKING FROM TANK AND SPLATTERING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY DEATHS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL CONTINUE MY RESEARCH. THIS IS MY 24 YEAR OLD NIECE'S CAR. I'M HER UNCLE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM DRIVE TIME AUTO AND AFTER A MONTH I HEARD A SCREECHING NOISE IN THE STEERING AS I TURN THE CAR.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR 9 MONTHS AND ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT IS VERY ANNOYING. *TR

WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE IN THE SHIFT LEVER, IT MOVED BACK AND FORTH FREELY IN THE CASING. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. IT BROKE IN DRIVE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING FORWARD, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED . THE DEALER SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE, AND SAID THE PART WAS A G.M. RECALL PART. HOWEVER, OUR CAR WASN'T COVERED ON THE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A PART CAN BE RECALLED, BUT NOT ALL CARS WITH THE PART ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL TO ME. I HAD TO PAY THE G.M DEALER $306. TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED. I REALLY WANT MY MONEY BACK, I WORK HARD FOR IT, AND THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT. WE DID NOTIFY G.M. AND THEY TOLD US TO NOTIFY YOU. THANK YOU *TR

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN VERY BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS AT NIGHT. REPLACED BULB AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED. REPLACED BULB AGAIN AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW LEARNING THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS CAR BECAUSE THE HARNESS CONNECTOR IS MELTING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT DUE TO CONSTANT OVERHEATING IT WILL NOT PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. GM KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DEEMS IT NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A FATALITY BEFORE PONTIAC/GM TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY? *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. THE STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTED SHAKING AND I WASN'T IN DRIVING MOTION. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING POWER STEERING FAILURE WITH PONITAC G6 2009. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY WON'T THEY DO A RECALL. GM PRODUCED UNSAFE CARS!! BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED ON MY OWN. I SHOULD EXPECT A REFUND WHENEVER GM DECIDES TO DO A RECALL. *TR

2009 PONTIAC G6. REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS DUE TO RECALL. *TA ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR INVOICE, THE BCM SHORTED OUT. RECALL #14V252000. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING TORQUE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

MY POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON AND THE CHIMES SOUNDED. I NOW ONLY HAVE MANUAL STEERING AND IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL(S) OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT MINE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM NEW SAID MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED FOR THIS DEFECT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT. *TR

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 HAD APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT FIRST CAME ON. IN THE BEGINNING, THE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND SEEMED TO BE LINKED TO A SENSOR MALFUNCTION IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CERTAIN SEAT POSITIONS AND PASSENGERS (WEIGHT?) COULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE RIDE. OVER A PERIOD OF MANY MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY CLICK ON. EVENTUALLY, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS NOW ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 400$, WITHOUT REPLACING THE ACTUAL AIR BAG IF NECESSARY. ON ANOTHER VISIT AT GM FOR A RECALL, I WAS TOLD THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THESE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE SOLD FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO MORE THAN JUST GM. I WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS SO THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND GM WOULD KNOW. I AM HOPING THAT UPON YOUR INVESTIGATION, GM WILL COMMIT TO A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, AIR BAGS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A POWER TRAIN OR EXTENDED WARRANTY (LIKE HOW RUST IS COVERED) AS THEY ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF PASSENGER SAFETY. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, FLOODED, SET ON FIRE, STOLEN, OR HAD ANY WORK ON INTERIOR SEATING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I NEVER SPILLED ANYTHING IN THE INTERIOR OR HAD ANYTHING IN THE CAR THAT COULD "PULL WIRES" OR CAUSE ANY FORESEEABLE DAMAGE. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS A FUEL LEAK AND GAS FUMES. CAUSED BY HEAT AND VEHICLE VIBRATIONS. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN ON PONTIAC G6'S DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE RECALL NUMBER IS #140115. I CALLED A GM DEALER TO SCHEDULE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT IS CLEARLY RECALLED. I ALSO SEE ON THE RECALL WEBSITE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE WHEEL SHAKES BAD WHILE DRIVING AND MAKES A NOISE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THESE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND PONTIAC/GM DEALERS NEED TO REPLACE IT NOT MAKE ME PAY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT THEY PUT IN THE CAR. *TR

ISSUES WITH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY GOING OUT THEN COMING BACK ON AT FIRST FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY. REPLACED BULBS (LOW BEAM) WITH SAME PROBLEMS. FINALLY FOUND THAT THE LOW BEAM LIGHT SOCKETS (PRIMARILY PASSENGER SIDE) WERE ARCING AND SHORTING OUT CAUSING BULBS NOT TO WORK. RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO HAVE GM REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS LINE OF CARS! *TR

WHEN PUTTING MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 INTO PARK THE KEY, SOMETIMES, GETS STUCK IN THE CYLINDER LOCK AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET IT OUT SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES GM IS HAVING WITH THE CHEVROLET COBALT AND OTHER OLDER VEHICLES. BECAUSE OF THIS, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME LOCK THE DOORS. IN AUGUST, A GM EMPLOYEE SUBMITTED A CLAIM ON THEIR HELP THE CUSTOMER WEBSITE. I TOOK IT IN BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE; THEREFORE, GM WOULD NOT FIX IT. WHEN I SAW THE ARTICLE IN AUTOMOTIVE NEWS (HTTP://WWW.AUTONEWS.COM/ARTICLE/20141211/OEM/141219956/GM-OFFERS-FIX-ON-SMALL-CAR-IGNITIONS-TO-PREVENT-STUCK-KEYS) INDICATING THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN WHICH GM IS OFFERING TO REPAIR CUSTOMERS' CHEVROLET COBALTS AND OTHER OLDER SMALL CARS TO PREVENT KEYS FROM GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, I IMMEDIATELY RE-OPENED MY CASE (71_1341032883) WITH THE GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE. ON JANUARY 1, 2015, THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION THREE TIMES (I DOCUMENTED THE ISSUE IN A VIDEO). ON JANUARY 2ND, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE KEY CAME OUT. THE DEALER USED A LUBRICANT WD-40 HOPING THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM SAYS SINCE IT IS NOT PART OF A RECALL OR THE BULLETIN INDICATE ABOVE, THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED SO I WORK THE KEY UNTIL IT COMES OUT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES UP TO 5 MINUTES TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING LUCK IN THAT AREA. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON/OFF FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. SINCE THE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE, GM WILL NOT FIX IT. ARE OTHER

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND MY VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE MY CAR HAULED HOME. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE INFORMED ME ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST.

HEAD LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT...THE WIRES CONNECTED WITH THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BURNT AND CORRODED. I HAVE REPLACE THESE PARTS 20 TIMES SINCE 2009. THIS TIME ON JANUARY 1, 2015 THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS ARE TO BURNT TO REPAIR AND THE DEALER SHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE HARNESS KIT ASSEMBLY INSTEAD OF JUST THE WIRES. WHY SHOULD I, THIS PROBLEMS IS FAR AND WIDE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE PONTIAC G6. I TRAVEL WITH MY JOB AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT ON ME AND I HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM JUST TO GET HOME. PLEASE LET GM KNOW AND ISSUE SOME KIND OF RECALL BEFORE I DIE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHT WIRES. *JS

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. RESTARTED THE CAR SEEMED TO RESOLVE IT FOR A DAY OR TWO. NOW IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT A RECALL, I WAS TOLD MINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL AND THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $800. WHEN IT OR IF IT BECOMES A RECALL I COULD BE REIMBURSED. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DEAL WITH IT. IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), THE COOLING FANS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO FAIL.

FAULTY STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. RECALL ON YEAR,MAKE,MODEL BUT DOESNT INCLUDE MY VIN NHTSA RECALL # 14V-153, GM BULLETIN 14116. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR IT MADE AN ALARM NOISE, THEN THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. SHE WAS ABLE TO BRING MY CAR TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. AFTER STARING AND STOPPING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, AROUND 10 MINUTES LATER, THE STEERING RETURNED. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY OPENED A CASE # [XXX]. THEY SAID TO BRING TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. AFTER PAYING $93 THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR, WHICH WAS A RECALLED ITEM ON A 2009 G6, BUT NOT MY PARTICULAR CAR. THE DEALER WANTED OVER $750 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DISPUTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED GM WHO AGREED TO LOWER THE COST TO $250 WHICH I DISPUTED. NOW THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. AFTER TRYING TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER WITH GM DIRECTLY, THE SENIOR ADVISER TOLD ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED. I WAS TOLD I AGREED TO THE COST ASSISTANCE WHICH I DIDN'T. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM A HIGHER LEVEL GM ADVISER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER READING THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER 2009 G6 NON RECALLED STEERING PROBLEMS WHICH ARE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED ONES I FEEL THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IN ALL CASES VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES, PARKED AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. POWER STEERING WAS EVENTUALLY RESTORED ON RESTART. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS PATTERN TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTHORIZED GM SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. DIAGNOSTICS TROUBLE CODE C0545 STEERING WHEEL TORQUE INPUT RESULTED IN REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY STEERING COLUMN, REPROGRAMMING AND SETUP AT A COST OF $741.00. SIMILAR POWER STEERING ISSUES ARE MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V153000 BUT THE VIN OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. *TR

LEFT LOW BEAM NOT WORKING. REPLACED WITH NEW BULB TWICE IN A MONTH. BACK IN 2013, A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING USED VEHICLE, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I REPLACES THE LEFT LOW BEAM LIGHT THREE TIMES IN ONE MONTH AND THEN TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAD THE HARNESS HAD MELTED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! *TR

2009 PONTIAC G6 PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF AND FINALLY STAYED OFF. AFTER REMOVING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, I FOUND A MELTED CONNECT TO THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF. I FOUND A REPLACEMENT CONNECTOR AT NAPA AUTO PARTS AND REPLACED IT. IT WORKED FOR 3 WEEKS AND WENT OUT AGAIN. UPON OPENING UP THE LIGHT, I FOUND THE NEW CONNECTOR MELTED AGAIN. THERE IS A WIRING PROBLEM CAUSING THIS CONNECTOR TO OVERHEAT. SAFETY CONCERN IS IF BOTH FAIL OVER TIME, THE DRIVER WILL NOT HAVE ANY HEADLIGHTS FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE PART OF THE DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS. *TR

I BECAME THE RECENT OWNER OF THE ABOVE VEHICLE. THERE IS A NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE POWER STEERING IS SLIGHTLY HARD TO TURN. THERE ARE TWO RECALLS FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THAT THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR THE STEERING PROBLEMS ON THIS CAR. THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE #71-1410099624 FOR MY CALL. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN BY COLLEGE STUDENT DAUGHTER AND I WOULD NOT CARE FOR HER TO GET STRANDED DUE TO THE STEERING POWER PROBLEM. I DO NOT MIND SENDING THE CAR TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, BUT I WOULD RATHER TAKE THE CAR TO A GM DEALER IF IT QUALIFIES FOR A RECALL. *TR

I THEN NOTICED DURING THE SUMMER MY DRIVER FRONT HEAD LIGHT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BULB. AGAIN, IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 MY CAR BEGAN REPEATING ITSELF WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S THE SOLENOIDS. THIS IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BECAUSE IT'LL STOP GOING THE WAY SPEED IT NEEDS TO. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT KEEPS BREAKING DOWN. PLEASE HELP!! BY THE WAY, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER SPRAYER STOPPED WORKING. *TR
