there is a steering-related problem with my pontiac g6 sedan. it has a clunk or snap upon backing out of parking-spaces and upon making turns from a dead-stop. it does not occur while at highway speeds. i am worried the steering-box is bad, as this problem occurred on a family 2005 pontiac g6. the box-assembly had to be replaced. why again two years later on a newer car.

STEERING

under good, dry road conditions on a freeway, a vehicle appeared to be moving into my lane and could have hit me. i started to brake to back off and moved to the right of my lane. the result was that the vehicle fishtailed 4 to 6 times before i regained control. there was no collision because i regained control and other drivers backed off. i took the vehicle to the dealership. their technician replicated the fishtailing. the service department person said that the combination of the g6 suspension, struts, weight distribution, and swept up design resulted in the g6 front dipping down when braked, lifting the rear and locking the brakes. gm and the dealership did nothing to correct the problem because they claimed that was normal for the vehicle and that the brakes and steering checked out as satisfactory. the dealership which checked the car out bought the car back for $3633 less than i paid for the vehicle a few months before. the vehicle had approximately 2000 miles on it. i believe the basic vehicle design is unsafe if fishtailing occurs with a common evasive maneuver under good weather and road conditions.

PARKING BRAKE

i've had my 2007 pontiac g6 in the shop several times for brake "issues". they changed pads, rotors and told me they couldn't stop the squeaking and that the strange "jumping" the brakes seemed to do was "normal" for abs - which i know is not correct as i have owned many cars with abs that didn't feel like this. recently, the traction control light came on, the brakes failed, the emergency brake failed and we hit the back of another car. gm sent an engineer out to look at the event data recorder; however, would not provide me with a copy of the report (they said it was "proprietary"). they are refusing to fix my car and when i asked why the traction control light came on, their "professional" told me "i don't know - i wasn't there!". i've seen several complaints on edmunds.com about the rotors, over-heating problems and the need to have them replaced with non-gm parts to (hopefully) fix the problem. this is a major safety concern for me and i intend to dispose of the car as soon as possible.

as a consumer i am writing you this letter to lodge a complaint for the car/lemon i have been leasing. the type of car i am leasing is a 2007 pontiac g6 4 door sedan, #. since leasing this vehicle i have many concerns of not only my own safety but the safety of other people on the road. here are the following issues since leasing this car: 1.replaced signal switch located on steering column on 1/16/08 2.replaced right visor for mirror on passenger side of car 1/16/08 3.replaced broken cable for right rear window regulator on 3/14/08 4.replaced steering column on 7/28/08 5.replaced front brakes with high end pads estimated date 8/08 6.replaced rear left bulb for brake lights estimated date 10/08 7.about a month after steering column was replaced the steering column again was making a clicking sound when turning right and left at a slow rate of speed. 8.instead of replacing the steering column they chose to lube intermediate steering shaft instead on 1/20/09 and i will have to keep coming in when the lube wears off!! really me having to come in every month or so!! that was their response to me!! 9.replaced radio because it didn?t come on when i turned on the car the display was blank. would eventually turn on when it wanted to replaced on 1/20/09 also in researching the steering column problem some peoples steering wheels have locked up and they were almost involved in accidents and said in there complaint does somebody have to be killed before gm has a recall on these cars?? it has been a known issue since the first model year 2005 has come out. per dominic torres my sales rep this has been a known issue but there have not been very many complaints lodged for any recall. per dominic it is because the steering column is electrical instead of using fluid and the design was changed in the 2008 model year. gm has contacted me and said they are not willing to lease a new car to me to replace this one. it will be re-poed shortly.

at approximately 35,980 miles i began getting 'clunking' noises from my steering at low speeds and while turning. this is apparently a very common problem with the pontiac g6. it is appears to be a problem with the steering column. unfortunately i will have over 36,000 miles on the vehicle by the time i can get it to a dealership. this is a manufacture defect which if not addressed will eventually cause injury or death if not addressed by your office. a redesign and recall is required for this issue. does someone have to die for action to be taken? additionally, the factory brakes on the vehicle are very cheap. vented rotors are needed because they warp at approximately 20,000 miles due to heat.

brakes became spongy then had problems stopping the car. the problem is that the brakes have an open design and uses inferior brake pads. with the open design the disc rotors then corrode from the weather and become pitted and tear the inferior pads to pieces resulting in brake failure.

my pontiac g-6 has steering problems. it started out making this popping noise whenever i turned a sharp turn. now the popping is getting worse. i was informed through a guy at work who has an 08' g-6 that the problem is in the steering knuckle. he has taken his to the dealership countless times to get it replaced and the new parts just keep going bad. he told me the problem was because of lack of lubrication, but yet there are no grease zerks to at grease. what a very poor design, what ignorance, especially this day and age. its common sense that moving metal parts need lubrication. i was told that the new proposal to fix it was to put a plastic shroud around the knuckle, pumped full of grease, and just hope and pray it works. i'm no mechanic but that seems pretty crappy if you ask me. i haven't had the time to take my car in to have it looked at yet, i'm hoping i don't have to pay for this out of my own pocket, because of pontiac's stupidity. i'm hoping that they come out with a recall soon before this problem causes a serious accident.

brake lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 are malfunctioning. the brakes stay on when not applied and go off when applied. i noticed the problem about 2 months ago. i have looked on the internet and found many other people with the same issue. this is a serious safety issue that needs to be looked into. frankly , i am surprised there is not a recall in place for this problem already , especially given the amount of complaints that i have come across. in my opinion this is a design flaw and the customer should not be responsible for fixing the car manufacturers mistake.

squeak in steering wheel or column. it only happens at slow speeds when turning. already had intermediate shaft greased. sounds like squeaky windshield wipers. it's like something rubbing in steering wheel, i first thought maybe the sir coil. concerned about possible airbag malfunction. took into dealer and was told it's just plastic or rubber rubbing in steering column and not to be concerned & squeaks are not covered by extended warranty. i have noticed this problem on the internet with other pontiac's and it's either been the sir coil or some cases even the whole rack and pinion. it's very annoying.

2007 pontiac g6 brake lights come on while driving and go off when brakes are applied. i have read several complaints from others owners that are having the same issue. this is a big safety concern and needs to be looked into at once. we have been told twice by the dealer that it is fixed but once we leave the dealer the brake lights start acting up once again. this should be a recall in which pontiac should have to pay for to fix right. so far i have not read of any deaths from this issue but i can assure everyone if there is an accident that happens from this issue there will be legal actions!

i bought a 2007 pontiac g6 used in june of 2008 with 15,000 miles. since i have had tons of warranty work done. but the issue i am having now is with the air bag light in the dash coming on and the radio saying service air bag soon. it fist happened about a month after we bout the car. so when i took it in for service it was one of the warranty items that i wanted to be fixed. when i said something about it the service manager said there was nothing they could do unless the light was on, and bring it back when it came on again. well the next time it came on was about 6 months later. i was out of town and didn't know where to even try and take it. so it came on again about 2 weeks ago with 37,500 miles on it now. so i take it back were i normally get it serviced and purchased the car, being as it is on my way home. well they say that the service manager that wasn't there any longer didn't make a note of it so it would come out of pocket and at $88 just to plug the computer to it and me being flat broke i couldn't do it. all i want is it to be fixed at no cost to me. and they won't do it due to lack of ability on the previous service manager. they gave me gm's number to call and see if i could get good will warranty but they said no as well. this ins all only 1500 miles out of warranty. no one has got hurt yet but i am afraid that if i am going up the road one day and get into an accident with my family in my car. the air bag may not deploy and someone will get hurt.

power steering failure my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder has electronic power steering. the alert will chime,the radio readout will flash power steering,and the power steering motor will shut down. this has happened several times ,including exiting the interstate approaching an exit ramp. i can re engage the power steering, by shutting off the engine,waiting a few seconds and restarting the engine.the ability to reset the power steering leads me to believe,this is a defect that should be resolved by the manufacturer by a re-call.

2007 pontiac g6 - purchased new. steering column started squeaking and squealing a year ago. took it to dealer numerous times but they can't fix it for good. now you can feel a rough vibration when you turn the wheel left or right and it is getting less smooth to turn - very apparent squealing now everytime the wheel is turned. about a year ago they replaced the rack and pinion but the squeak got worse and they "lubricated" something but the mechanic didn't clearly say what as he couldn't diagnose the problem. the dealer now refuses to look at it unless i pay a "diagnostic fee" and they say all they can do is lubricate it for an additional exorbitant fee. gm refuses to make the dealership investigate it further eventhough my complaints are on file at the dealer. the mechanic previously told me that as long as the complaint was on file then it will be covered by warranty even after the 3 year warranty expired but i guess that was a lie.

i own a 2007 pontiac g6 (bought as new in july 2007). the steering column is making very load clunking noises when turned at a stop or at low speeds. i am very concerned that the steering will fail while driving. i am also disappointed (to put it mildly) that despite this problem being very common among other owners of the same vehicle and having read 100's of the same complaint that gm has not issued a recall on the steering box problem. i know the us government (aka the taxpayer!) owns gm via bailout and i'm sure they don't want the negative publicity of the auto-maker having to fix a design flaw, but you are dealing with lives here. if there are fatalities due to not fixing the problem, do you think that publicity will be any less severe (assuming it ever gets reported). please, force gm to repair this known defect before someone gets killed!

i turned into a gas station and the steering locked up on my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder on oct 26 2010. the steering was replaced after we used what little we had in savings. believing that the problem was solved i drove it 15 miles into town and the steering locks up again. we cannot afford to fix it and it has sat in the shop for two weeks. we were surprised to find out this is a major problem when we looked on line and saw there were so many others that are having the same problem their g6 cars. surely this is a recall. it is definitely a safety issue.

VISIBILITY

situation: the g6 was on cruise control at about 50 mph, the road was in vermont hills/mountains, the weather was raining -- from light to an increasing intensity. the wipers were turned on to the low pulse setting, and as the rain intensity increased the pulse frequency was increased one step at a time. when the pulse was at its fastest, and the g6 was proceeding up an incline and the cruise logic was in the process of deciding to shift gears, the windshield wipers stopped enough to obscure all vision. this condition repeated itself until i changed the pulse setting to constant. then, again, but this time in west lafayette traveling from the main road north out of town up route 443 between route 43 and 52 on cruise at 35 mph in a rain with the wipers on fast pulse the wipers stopped and vision was obscured. sooo, the hill/incline does not have to be 'mountainous' or very long in duration. the dealer in vt suggested i should just put it on constant pulse to avoid the issue -- duh. the dealer in michigan attempted to replicate the condition but city traffic, etc. prohibited the 'experiment'. the gm customer relations contacts simply kept telling me that the condition 'did not exist' because it could not be replicated -- which was the same as calling me a liar. duh. yet the gm cr would not allow me to discuss the issue with anyone involved with the vehicle design or build -- because "it could not be duplicated" yet i duplicated the vt occurrence in illinois in different terrain. since the 'hill' in west lafayette is very typical of hills in most of the states in the usa it is likely that anyone driving in the conditions noted would experience the same result. yet, no one in gm will sit and discuss this at a functional level. when the wiper stops and no one can see out the front windshield, whether traveling at 50 or 35 mph the condition is very critical and a serious accident can occur. i have been trying to discuss this frequently since it occurred.

STEERING

my power steering began to go out. at first it would just go out every three to four days and then it began to go out three to four times each time i drove it. it would go out when i was turning on the road while driving. i would have to put on my emergency blinkers, turn off my car, re-start it, and begin to drive again until it would go out again and i would have to do it all over again. it got to the point where i felt unsafe to drive my car so i had to get it fixed. i took it to the dealership and it cost me over six hundred dollars to fix the steering motor. it took the dealership over a week and a half to fix the problem when they said it would only take about three hours to put the new part in. i was without a car for that whole time and was also left to pay the large payment. gm did not offer much customer assistance in helping me to fix the problem and my warranty for the motor i had to purchase is only for 12,000 miles or one year. i am fearful that the part will go out again and i will have to pay yet another $600. there was a recall on the 2006 model of my car, and, although my car was made in july of 2006, gm refused to put my car on recall because they said that it was considered a 2006. i find this unfair and wrong. this is a major problem that could cause much harm. gm should be responsible for fixing the problem and also for helping out those people who had to fix the problem on their own. it is scary to have your power steering go out and the chance of getting into an accident because of it is a scary thought also.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

i have had my 2007 pontiac g6 gt for about 3 years and i have had numerous problems with it. the main safety concern i have is my brake lights will intermittently flicker on and off while i am driving it whether i press in the brakes or now. this causes the cruise control not to work as well as the cruise control is activated when you press the brake pedal in. i have had the brake pedal switch replaced but that only ceased the problem for a few days. i have had people pull over because they think i'm braking for a deer when i'm not. i have almost been in numerous accident especially in winter when the roads are bad and my brake lights will stay on causing the driver behind me to brake when there is now need to. thank god i don't have children because this is a huge electrical malfunction and safety hazard. the other main problem i have is my panoramic roof no longer works. it will open about a half an inch and will get stuck. i bought this car for that main feature and it was very expensive with a panoramic roof. my warranty will not cover any of these expenses because i have 40,000 miles on my car. i am very disappointed as i believe pontiac should have to pay for a malfunction such as these two. much roof also makes a lot of noise in which i didn't realize because now it is closed all the time and was usually open before this. i will never buy a pontiac vehicle again. just because they don't make them doesn't mean they should let people drive unsafe and dangerous vehicles on the road.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

cruise control was active-on; windshield wiper was on 'fast pulse'; rain was moderate to heavy; road was hilly; event: when the cruise needed to decide to shift gears going up a hill the wipers stopped long enough for the rain to obscure all vision. the stopping was repeatable by setting up similar settings when the rain/road conditions allowed. this condition even occurred at 35 mph, with cruise on, with wiper fast pulse in light rain, again obscuring forward vision, on a much less hilly terrain. discussions with gm at the time resulted in the statement that because gm or the dealer could not 'observe' the 'stoppage' that 'it did not occur.' several attempts were made to get the information to the appropriate internal gm group but none responded. since the condition occurred both in hilly/mountain terrain and in hilly city terrain it seems that it would be an important issue to resolve -- due to the lack of forward vision at the time of occurrence.

the steering on my car first started acting up so i took it to the dealership and they took forever to look at it. finally they said that they were not exactly sure but that the instructions said to first fix the steering motor and then the problem should be resolved with just that. so i had the steering motor replaced on my car, which cost over $600 dollars to fix even though they claimed they were going to try to help me get a good deal. i had the motor fixed and within a week and a half or so the power steering was going out again. it would go out when i was driving and would not come back on when i would turn off and restart the car. it was very scary and dangerous to drive like that. it would go out at any given second and on turns. i took my car back to the dealership again and asked them to replace the motor again since it was under warranty but they would not do that because they said that i needed a steering column now. i had to have the steering column replaced because a sensor in the column had went out and this cost me more money. i was very upset because that could have been the problem all along and i could have had that fixed in the beginning and not risked my safety with driving around with a car that?s steering goes out. also i could have saved money. i spent over $900 to get all of the steering replaced. i am a college student and i do not have money like that to be spending and the dealership should have gotten me a better deal like they made it sound like they were going to do. i bought my pontiac because i needed a good, reliable car but the steering problem is a dangerous and costly one. the 2006 model of my car was recalled but they refused to take mine as a recall even though it was technically built in 2006. this is a serious problem and i would hope pontiac gm would help out their customers with this problem.

STEERING

the vehicle's rubber power steering return hose is resting against the underside of the exhaust pipe. there is a reflectant covered fabric as a radiant barrier, but i suspect is not designed to prevent heat (from right after the pre-catalytic converter) from seeping through due to conduction. i have made an inspection through my fingers as there is no way of seeing the damage until the hose is removed. the reflective surface material is clearly off of the rest of the material and it feels to be completely burned through. the loss of power steering fluid could have been catastrophic for two reasons. first was the virtual loss of steering (luckily my wife was not driving at a high rate of speed). second, that power steering fluid could have caused a vehicle fire had it hit a hot exhaust instead of the one that was barely warm after less than 1/2 mile of driving. just the same, it created a lot of smoke convincing my wife that her car was either on fire or about to be. i have pictures of the hose routing and i'll be making repairs this week-end. please let me know if i can be of assistance in this matter. it is hard for me to fathom that the vehicle was designed to have this rubber hose containing a flammable fluid to rest against a hot exhaust pipe. this is either a design defect or somebody forgot to ensure clearance during assembly. gm seemed unconcerned when i phoned them this evening. ....updated 06/28/13 *bf updated 07/2/2013 *js

power steering locked up. contacted gm customer service provided them with the last seven digits of my vin was told that there are no recalls for this vehicle. however, after a thorough search via the internet looks like the same problem occurred with the 05-06 models. other 07 have also reported having the same issue. took car in for an estimate (new power steering motor, column, and labor = $1300). gm should really take a serious look at this issue for the 07 g6 models as well.

AIR BAGS

air bag deployment. while traveling at about 58 mph, i hit a dog at the center point of my front bumper. my seat belt snaped holding me from moving forward. the impact was so great it broke the seat belt, and ripped my coat, brusing my chest. i pulled to the side of the road, there was an oder so strong i thought something was hot. i realized it was airbag talac.. the light on my dash said the air bags were now disabled. the inboard dash screen said to service airbag soon. the gm dealers body shop gave me an estimate of $2,000., but that my air bags are ok and did not include them on the quote. i find this strange since my dash said to service soon. my thought is that the air bag tried to deploy exspelling a talc aroma, and setting off the dash board warning lights, but malfunctioned and remain in my steering wheel. the dealership told me my car was unsafe to drive since the seat belt is broken. i hope to find more next wenesday the 8th of feb when they are going to repair the vehical. *tt

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

a hairline crack developed in the plastic elbow connecting the integral fuel pump/gas tank fuel lines to the engine. this elbow connects a fuel line which is pressurized both with the vehicle operating (about 60 psi) and after the car has been turned off as the fuel system bleeds this operating pressure. the pressure forcibly ejects highly flammable gasoline liquid and vapor into the area immediately above extremely hot exhaust pipes. when garaged, these vapors completely fill the structure which houses a gas water heater and furnace with running pilot lights. no vehicle annunciation (e.g., check engine light), performance degradation (e.g., hard starts), or visible indicators alert the owner to this potentially catastrophic condition. the fuel smell is initially mistaken for normal exhaust fumes after parked until the crack enlarges causing the gas smell to become intolerable. the potential exists for death and destruction of both the vehicle and garage and home in which it is kept because of the insidious nature of this problem.

on highway traveling out of town averaging 60-65 in my 2007 pontiac g6 i lightly pressed brakes approaching an exit for gas when a the steering wheel started shaking. i had to press the brakes again to stop after exiting the highway to stop. the shaking was noticeably worse. i purchased the car used about 2 months before this event so i did not expect any brake issues. after several months my wife mentioned a noise from the brakes. i had the brakes inspected and the service person said the brakes were fine but my front and rear struts were bad. i asked him if this would cause the steering wheel to shake when breaking at highway speeds and he said yes. i took the car back to the dealership of purchase and they did a brake inspection even though i asked to have the struts looked at and stated that rotors were warped. after this i searched for problems with the steering on the model and year of my car. i found thousands of customer complaints of all the symptoms and issues i was having. i did find a service bulletin about the intermediate shaft in the steering.technical bulletin no.: 06-02-32-007g date: april 05, 2010 subject: clunk, knock or rattle noise from front of vehicle while driving or turning over bumps at low speeds (diagnose noise and perform outlined repair) models: 2004-2006 chevrolet malibu maxx 2004-2008 chevrolet malibu classic 2008-2010 chevrolet malibu 2005-2010 pontiac g6 2007-2010 saturn aura supercede: this bulletin is being revised to update the parts information for the bolt. please discard corporate bulletin number 06-02-32-007f (section 02 - steering. at this point i believe a recall should be issued on the entire front suspension including the factory rotors which warp within 2k-3k miles. re-surfacing these rotors increases the braking problem. and a non-metallic ceramic brake pad should be installed by a gm certified service department. *tt

why was the 2007 g6 not included in the new recall by gm for several models including the 2007 pontiac g5 for a serious fuel leak problem? the g6 has the same fuel tank and line that is cracking in the vehicles recalled and our g6 smells of gasoline so bad we cannot park it in the garage and fuel constantly is dripping from the tank. several forums list this problem and numerous complaints with the g6 year 2007 and up. here is just one: http://www.g6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12371 just do a search for "forum g6 gas tank leak" and you will find more complaints. local dealer wants over $2000 to replace the tank, pump and lines and we read that it does not cure the problem when others have had this work performed. (dealer installs the same plastic line that will crack in the heat and they refuse to fix just the line, stating the entire tank must be replaced) just what are we to do when gm does not fix a know dangerous problem? and just why did this recall not include the g6? and why does our fabulous government who bailed out gm not make them fix know defects?

my son noticed a smell of gas coming from his car. when i went out to look at it i could smell it also. it seemed to be coming from the rear of the car but i could not see anything and it seemed to dissipate as time went on that evening. i just assumed it came from the filler tube somehow maybe after a turn. the next day when he got home from work i was in the driveway when he pulled in and the smell was very strong and still seemed to be coming from the rear area of the car. we jacked both sides of the rear up and that?s when we saw gas run out of the protective plate that surrounds the bottom of the gas tank. further inspection revealed the leak was coming from a plastic elbow that comes out of the fuel pump that feeds gas to the engine. you could also see where the fuel had been spraying on the muffler which is located behind the gas tank assembly. this very easily could a serious fire if we had not located this as quickly as we did. i am to understand that this is the same fuel pump design as the 2007 g5 that has the exact same problem with that plastic elbow cracking and spraying fuel. this should be an immediate safety recall before someone gets hurt.

there is a fuel leak that is coming from the tank and flows onto the rear exhaust system. after removal of the tank, after gm care said there was nothing that they could do, out of warranty. i found out that it migh be leaking from the oring between the fuel pump and tank. while waiting for the parts to arrive later this week (oring and locking cam), i did some research and seen numerous post and a high failure rate of a plastic gas that supplies fuel to the engine, so i am assuming that this could be culprit and a dangerous and expensive problem since to replace this you have to replace the complete fuel pump assembly. this needs to be addressed to gm as a possible fire hazard and a recall in place to save lives!!

at least twice a week since i purchased the car from a previous owner, the power steering would lock on me and i am unable to steer anymore. this would happen anywhere from going 10mph to 70mph. the only way that i could steer again is to turn off the car and turn it back on as i am moving the steering wheel to unlock it. thankfully i managed to prevent any accidents but it is just a matter of time before something happens. i took the car to a dealership and was told it was fixed but few weeks later same problem. i would be driving on a main road and right before i have to turn it locks on me so i have to turn off the car in the middle of the road to unlock it. this is a big safety issue. something needs to be done about it. i cannot afford to keep spending money to fix this issue. this was a problem with a g5 and they did a recall on it. i cannot believe that the same problem is happening to g6 now and they will not do anything about it. i called gm several times but they said because this is an electrical problem my 10 year power train warranty wont cover it and therefore they wont even take a look at it (unless i pay out of pocket). never again will i buy a gm car.

there is a current recall on the brake lights of the 2005-2006 g6 cars, nhtsa campaign id number: 09v036000. but there are a lot of owners of 2007 cars that are having the exact same issues but we can not get the fixes applied to our cars because it's not covered in the recall dates....you guys should really think about things before you randomly slap a date on things. i bought my g6 in dec of 2006, i have had issues with the sunroof, the right side headlight wiring melted, the brake lights are coming on by themselves and we are on our third engine, which the dealership said was because we did not change the oil, but they did the oil changes. i am tired of pouring money into this crappy car, the least you guys could do is realize that there were probably some of the same parts on the floor when the next years models were started and the first few months of the next year after they changed the parts are most likely going to be affected by the issues and should be included in the recall.

i have been having powers steering problems with my car for months. power steering light comes on, the wheel jerks making it hard to control sometimes. at higher speeds it seemed to be worse, and the steering wheel will vibrate. i did bring it to a dealer that told me there was extended warranty coverage on 2005 and 2006 g6 models , but not 2007. i would be responsible for repairs. yesterday i was in a car accident and i believe the steering problem played a role. the wheel was jerking, prior to the accident. we were driving on an interstate traveling at a faster speed. i don't know how i ended up bouncing off the back tire of a semi truck in the lane next to me, but i was fighting the car to gain control of the vehicle again. not only with all the "normal" physical forces, but the car still wanted to go its own way. over compensating and fishtailing the whole way. thankfully we are all alive, the car probably will be a complete loss.

brake lights stay on while pressing gas...when pressing brake they shut off. when this problem is occurring you have to press real hard to get out of park to drive. this is a serious issue which where the brake lights doesn't warn other drivers when stopping which could lead to a crash. there hasn't been any accidents reported yet what i have read but i do believe this issue needs to be resolved before you do have a accident. i would hate to see this not get recalled and kill someone over a simple fix.

my car started to be slow to turn on and would crank. at the same time i would notice a smell of gasoline from the rear of my vehicle. the smell of the raw gasoline was very apparent when the car would sit in my garage. the slow starting of the car became worse and worse. i read about similar issues with a recall on the pontiac g5 model fuel pumps. i took it to a certified gm service shop and they indicated it was a crack in the fuel pump causing leaking of gasoline. this is very alarming as it is a fire hazard. the cost to fix was approximately $1100.00.

approximately 4 months ago my traction control light would come on randomly. after car would be shut off the warning light would go away after i re-started the vehicle. did not think to much of it due to it being winter and thought the road conditions were causing it. since the weather has cleared i noticed when driving on the interstate with my cruise on all of a sudden my cruise would shut off and could not get it to go back on, and again the service traction light came on until i shut off my car. could not use my cruise at all. it wasn't till recently that someone on the road flagged me down and said that when i am driving the brake lights were on and when i brake they went out. not good. talked with the dealership and they said it was the brake light switch. had that replaced but did not even fix the problem for a day. next day the entire process started over and i am still have problems with the brakes on when i am depressing the gas and going out when i hit the brakes. did some research and have found my other people have this same problem. i feel this should be a recall!!!! asap this is an accident waiting to happen. i also read that the bcm has fixed this problem for some but also need to be re calibrated after the part it replaced. i am going to try this and see what happens, don't really like driving my car in this condition. i hope that with all the complaints i have read on this something will be done before the accidents start happening.

my son was driving his 2007 pontiac g6 gtp on a highway (55 mph speed limit) and suddenly the car downshifted and started shaking. it started to slow down and he finally got to our hometown.... the car downshifted again, and went down to 10 mph before he finally coasted into our driveway. he could not get it up to speed at all and had to go as fast as the transmission would allow him in order to get home and get the car off the road. this problem - a broken 3,5,r clutch wave plate - has been identified via gm service bulletin 09-07-30-012 and i am getting the runaround from gm on them fixing it, all because it's over 100,000 miles. had this problem occurred on the interstate (which he was on just prior to this incident), he could have been rear-ended or even killed from the sudden drop in speed since the speed limit on the interstate in iowa is 70 mph). this problem is well known, yet gm won't acknowledge it since the cost to repair is phenomenal. gm needs to be held responsible for this faulty clutch wave plate, which is also a problem in acadias, buick enclaves and saturn outlooks from 2007 - 2009. i'm sure this repair will be very costly, but more importantly - my son could have been killed had he not been where he was when it broke.

while driving my 2007 pontiac g6 gt sedan i had someone flag my attention. he said that my brake lights were on while i was driving and shut off when i was actually braking at a stop light. also, the cruise control was no longer in operation during this period of time. i had the brake switch replaced on my car. the problem still occurred at random. i have also been stuck in a few parking lots not being able to shift my car out of park. i had to re start my car several times and wait for a prolonged period before the car was able to shift to reverse so i could leave. i was alone in the dark on a snowy night for 30 minutes in a deserted parking lot the first time it happened. the brake light malfunction comes and goes throughout the years subsiding for a short periods of time but then returns at any given moment. this spring, the problem has returned non-stop and i have again, been flagged down by 3 other drivers to inform me of my brake lights being on while driving and going off when actually braking. i have also been followed too close by many drivers and cut off in traffic several times. the problem with the rear brake lights going on and off at the wrong times has been causing this type of road rage to be aimed at me and i feel it is putting me and my passengers in danger. in addition, i am unable to use my cruise control on the car due to the rear brake lights malfunction. i feel this problem with the brake lights is seriously dangerous and could easily cause an accident by sending the wrong signals to drivers who are driving behind this vehicle.

i was driving my 2007 g6 when someone pulled up beside me and honked their horn to get my attention. the man informed me that my brake lights were on while i was driving but turned off when i went to brake for the red light. i took my car to be fixed at a shop near my home, he replaced the sensor in the brake pedal. when i left his shop it worked perfectly fine. working fine only last about 8 months when i noticed the reflection of my brake lights in traffic signs when i wasn't pushing on the brake i realized i once again was having the same issue. since i have left that first shop in 2010, i have taken my g6 to 2 different shops within the last 3 years paying upwards of $500.00 to get the same issue resolved each time. the last time i took my car to the gmc dealership (2 weeks ago); they informed me that i have been there in june of 2011, september of 2012 and now june of 2013. the head technician told me he "has no idea what the issue is". he unplugged everything and plugged it all back in and they worked fine but the issue is obviously not resolved.

while driving down the road i came to a stop when traffic ahead of me began to slow down. i was at a dead stop when a car came sliding past me in the gravel to the right of me. when we got to the stop sign the driver of that vehicle informed me that my brake lights were inoperative. i found this hard to believe considering i had just purchased the vehicle a month prior. about a week later i had a car honk at me and yell over to me that i had no brake lights when coming to a stop. when you start the car, you can walk around the back of the car and see that the brake lights are on, with nobody even in the car. i have followed my girlfriend while she was driving the car and they function the exact opposite way that they should, the brake lights are on the whole time you are driving and when coming to a stop the lights go out completely and do not return on until you begin accelerating again. i have had the brake pedal position sensor replaced, calibrated and it did cure the problem for a month or so, then the problem returned. next i had the "fix" for the bcm connector performed, the dielectric grease did nothing. so now the problem remains, everyday people ride right on my bumper and i fear that an accident can come of this, and gm needs to find a fix for this and recall these vehicles asap.

back in june 2012 i noticed the low beam headlight on the right was out so i took it into the local shop for repair. the shop replaced both bulbs. approximately four to five months later i noticed the same bulb was out again and took the same actions. i replaced the bulb. around february 2013 i noticed the bulb was working intermittently and flickering on and off. the light would not come on during normal operation so i would pop the headlight casing. at that point the light would come on but after driving a few miles i noticed the light was off again! at this point i have just started driving with my high beams just to ensure i was able to see because i live in a rural area. i recently received two traffic citations for using the high beams and driving with faulty equipment. i have read several online posts that gave the impression that others are experiencing similar problems with the low beams on their g6 vehicles. is there some sort of recall on these bulbs or the wiring that the bulbs stream into? if yes, please, please advise. i don't want to have to keep changing these bulbs every six months and having to pay labor. i also don't want to run the risk of getting citations just because i have to use the high beams to compensate because of the faulty standard low beams.

the front electrical port was being used by an mp3 player fm transmitter while the vehicle was off. the fm transmitter turned off, and after the car was left alone for a few minutes, smoke was coming out from the vehicle and it smelled of burnt plastic. fm transmitter was removed and the negative battery cable was disconnected. the source of smoke was the rear trunk fuse block which had melted around the site of the front electric port fuse. once smoke cleared, negative cable was reattached. after a couple minutes of checking car electrical from drivers seat, the fuse block was checked and a small fire had started. this was quickly put out and negative cable to battery disconnected again. any remaining metal bits from electric port fuse were removed and once the negative cable was again reattached, no more smoke appeared. however, park lamps would not turn off, car did not know trunk was closed, the left rear turn signal did not work (even though it lit up when park lamps were left on). other random buttons on driver control panel did not work (rear defrost, but fuse was fine).

our elec power steering is going. in checking the internet i note that this is a common problem. i note in canada where cars are manufactured differently than here in the usa they have recalled the pont g6 for this exact problem. i would suggest you look at there data and investigate the same. canada's notice is below: a grand total of 67,414 sedans are being recalled by gm including the chevrolet malibu and malibu maxx (2005, 2006, 2008), pontiac g6 (2005, 2006, 2008), and saturn aura (2008). the electric power steering may experience a sudden loss of steering assist that could occur at any time while driving. a message would be displayed on the driver information centre and a chime would sound to inform the driver. steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but requires greater driver effort at low speeds. this increases the risk of a collision. owners are advised to take their vehicle to a gm dealer to receive a special extended warranty coverage for a period of 10 years/240,000 km from the date the vehicle was originally put in service. for 2005 and 2006 models, dealers will replace the steering column. for 2008 models, they will replace the power steering motor control module.

while driving home with my brother following me in a separate car, he told me that the brake lights on my car were on the whole time, only turning off when i applied the brakes (briefly) before turning back on. i have noticed this when i start the car via remote (the brake lights and chmsl are on) and in reflections as i drive... if i apply the brakes hard, the lights will go off briefly, but come back on as i drive. i do not drive with one foot on the brake pedal, and this has been a constant problem i have been noticing. there have not been any incidents with other vehicles (i'm assuming they're keeping far away because my brake lights are on), and i am aware of the nhtsa investigation into the chevrolet malibu from that year for the same issue. my car is a 2007 pontiac g6 gt convertible. as well, the stability control (the gt convertibles were equipped with it) intermittently comes on with an error message... the dealer has used a scanner to check the problem, but nothing has registered in the computer history.

my 2007 pontiac g6 brake lights are illuminating when the brake is not depressed. it is hard to also move the gear shifter from park at times. also, at the same time my brakes lights stopped working properly my cruise control stopped operating. i feel the brake lights working in the opposite manner is a major safety issue which can lead others drivers to also not be safe.

the brake lights do not work properly. they are typically on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and turn off when it is. sometimes if i'm parked, and i push really hard on the brake pedal, they will come on and go off when i let up (as they should). however, after some time, they revert back to working opposite from how they should. i've had the car since 2008 and discovered this about 2 years after i had it when a friend was following me. at the time, i found that a recall had been issued for the exact same problem for earlier models of this car, but there was/is no recall at this time for more recent models. additionally, i have occasionally had the problem of the car being difficult to shift out of park. i've found that if this happens, i can shift when i push the brake pedal all the way to the floor.

when the car is at a speed of approximately 40mph and the brakes are pressed the steering wheel shakes. the steering wheel is also making a clicking noise when it's turned from left to right. also i noticed that the brake lights are staying on when i'm driving the car and then shuts off after the brakes are applied (for example at a traffic light) the brake lights are then back on again after driving off. in addition i have contacted the service part of gm regarding the remote start which was installed before i bought the car. the remote start has had problems since purchase and i have gone back numerous times for them to fix it, to no avail. the car starts, then shuts off. after the key is applied to start the car, which it does, when the brakes are applied there is a grinding noise to put the car into gear. if the car is started without the remote start the grinding noise is not there when the car is put into gear.

i have been notified during my most recent oil change that there is a fuel leak on my 2007 pontiac g6. the mechanic stated he has seen several gm vehicles including other g6's with this same issue this summer. the 2007 pontiac g5 was recently recalled due to this exact same issue. gm put me and my family in danger by not including the g6 in their recall. the fuel pump on this vehicle needs to be recalled before people start getting killed in fires caused by this faulty fuel pump. the heat in the state i live in (arizona) causes cracks to form in the plastic on the fuel pump causing a fuel leak. this is the exact same problem addressed in gm's recall campaign number 12190 which is an expansion of recall 09v-419 (nhtsa campaign id number: 12v459000). 5 other 2007 gm models have been recalled for this fire hazard. it is time that the recall is once again expanded to include all gm models with this fuel pump problem. this is an extremely dangerous situation because of the fuel leaks close proximity to extremely hot exhaust parts. it is only a matter of time before these fuel pumps start catching fire and killing innocent people who don't know there is a fuel leak. please investigate this problem and force gm to stop dragging their feet in this matter before they kill innocent people.

i've had my car since november 2011. shortly after purchasing the vehicle i noticed my brake lights were coming on when i would accelerate then shut off when i hit the brakes. i paid to get it fixed, and 6 months later the brake lights quit working period. in 2012, my cruise control quit working and hasn't worked since. i've taken my car to a shop two times in 2013 and they haven't been able to find a permanent fix. i'm 12 weeks pregnant and i don't feel like it is my duty to deal with these problems continuously. i'm not only putting my life in danger, but my unborn child. i have paid three different people to fix this problem and i can't afford temporary fixes. i was never told about any recalls, i had to find it out for myself. as a registered owner, i feel like that again is not my duty. i paid for a car that should be working properly! you should fix these problems or take these vehicles off the road permanently. please do your job and help me, as i do everyday for my job.

i have had my 2007 pontiac g6 for almost three years and the first year and a half was great no problems but january last year is when it all started going down hill first i was noticing that my gas mileage was getting worse so i took it to a mechanic and they stated i needed to replace my catalytic converter so i did. next about 3 months ago my right headlight low beam went out and my boyfriend took out light and noticed the wires were completely burned off finally got that replaced. when i got my converter replaced they told me the mileage would get better and the gas smell would go away a year later now its getting worse and i have been told by a friend that its my fuel pump and its leaking gas . i have been driving around with my 1 year old son with a gas leak for a year which scares me and also makes me upset especially when i see that the g5 was recalled for this issue also and its common because they are putting me and my family at risk by not extending the recall to the g6 something needs to be done. now im left to figure out a way to fix this when im a one car one income family . please help and please fix this before someone gets hurt.

i just hit my 80k miles. general motors extended warranty for emissions to 100k on 2.3 engine's. i have 3.5 engine. my check engine light came on; test showed cadillac converter. i telephoned #1 cochran in monroeville 5x and never received a return call to do emissions test on machine. this is where i purchased the car new. then i telephoned bowser pontiac and they couldn't get me an appt till weeks because they were busy and had employees that kept calling off. i had my mechanic do the emission's test, he made a report showing this issue. i called gm and explained if they can do the customer good will claim based on the report from my mechanic because the dealer's could not get me an appointment. they said no. they deal with only gm dealer's not mechanics. so being just missed the mileage warranty gm is not willing to work with me to accept my mechanic's report to show they should have extended the warranty to the 3.5 engine's too. due to the inability and non-willing to work with their gmac customer's i am looking to file a complaint with general motors as they could not accommodate me and i had to have my mechanic diagnose and pay for this repair out of pocket because they would not do a good will claim with my mechanic because the dealer's could not get me in to get a diagnostic test. i have documents to show this issue with the gm dealer and they reused to accommodate me with the issue that their parts were ineffective and they did not abide their warranty by a few miles and to work with me to file a good faith claim, meaning sometimes gm pays for all or some of the repair based on the report, but must have diagnostic test done at dealer and none of the dealers could get me an appt, and i was driving around for 4 weeks with the check engine light on and did not want to damage my vehicle with not being able to get an appointment at any time soon.

on sunday, september 18, 2011, i was involved in an accident when i lost control of my 2007 pontiac g6. the accident occurred in the afternoon, the weather was clear and there was no precipitation. i was traveling southbound, in the left lane, passing a vehicle, when suddenly i lost control of my 2007 pontiac g6. the car felt like it started to swerve to the right. i tried to correct it and the steering was hard, i couldn't move the steering wheel and had no control of the car. it was very scary, as i swerved back and forth and finally crossed through the right lane. luckily my car was stopped by a guard rail and was facing northbound. the dealership diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty ignition switch and replaced it. this was the scariest moment of my life. i saw my life flash in front of me, there were several vehicles traveling on the highway and i envisioned a pile up. luckily, the other drivers were able to avoid hitting my vehicle. please consider adding the 2007 pontiac g6 to the recall that was recently announced, which included the 2007 pontiac g5. this almost cost me my life.

every so often, either when i first start my g6 or after its been driving for awhile, the brake lights will come on even when the brake pedal is not being pressed. when this happens, it pulls me out of cruise control, because it thinks i'm braking, and cars behind me will honk and flash their lights. i read that this was a recall on 2005 and 2006 pontiac g6s but i believe this problem went into the 2007 model year also. this happens several times a year at random, although if there's been rain or snow, it seems to happen more frequently.

while driving through a tunnel which comes up to a sharp bend a little after exiting at about 45 miles per hour i felt like i was not in control of my car as it felt as if it was locking up and moving in its own direction. so i hit the brakes (just got brakes done) to slow down a bit but it didn't seem to brake quick enough for me to feel safe. so before coming to the bend there is another exit to go into town that i took to drive at a slower speed. while taking that way home i had lights to stop at and as i accelerate it was hesitant at times to pick up. lastly every time i start up the car there is a ticking noise that is consistent which i still don't know what it is from. the brakes may be an issue with who did my brakes but the power steering is an issue and when i waited until today to check the fluid i could not locate so i went online to find out where it was and come to find out i may have an electrical one and found numerous reports regarding power steering issues. my car does not feel safe to me and it is now my only transportation to work.

the brake lights come on, and stay on, while driving and go off when the brake pedal is depressed. (exactly the opposite of the way it should) when parked, the brake lights will stay on unless the brake is fully depressed to the floor. (something that can not be done while driving) once it is released, they will continue to stay on, even when brake pedal is not depressed. this is very dangerous and after reviewing the multitude of complaints this appears to be a common issue with g6 cars.

my 2007 pontiac g6 is experiencing the same issues that are in the recently announced gm recall. however, upon calling gm, they insist that my vin is not one of the units affected. either i am by coincidence experiencing the same problem that is described in the recall (cruise control having issues engaging/disengaging; brake lights illuminating not illuminating at proper times), or gm is not acknowledging the full extent of the issue. occam's razor says that the simplest solution is the most likely, and in this situation, the simplest solution is that the faulty part(s) were used in more vehicles than they currently recognize.

STEERING

when travelling at about 25-30 mph 3 beeps were heard and a message on the dash said power steering. this happned just as the car was being turned and there was a total loss of the powersteering. it was too dangerous to operate and the vehicle had to be fixed because of the potential loss of power steering at slower speed. i called gm and they said there was not any recall for such a problem. then in the end of march of 2014 a gm recall (id # 102624) was sent out pertaining to 2005. 2006, 2008, and 2009 pontiac g6s. 2007 cars like mine were not included in this recall. i learned that this recall could affect 1.3 million gm vehicles. jeff boyer, vice president of gm global vehicle safety, stated "with these safety recall and lifetime warranties, we are going after every(emphasized) car that might have this problem, and we are going to make it right" "we have recalled some of these vehicles before for the same issue and offered extended warranties on others, but we did not do enough." i request that nhtsa investigate why 2007 pontiac g6s were left out of this recall. i have had the power steering column replaced two times at great expense and i believe that gm should reimburse me for the repair. gm must answer if the 2007 g6s were materially different from the 2005,2006,2008 and 2009 models. were totally new parts and systems only availabler in 2007 and then changed again for 2008 and 2009? . i have filed a complaint to gm and have had the problem analyzed by my local dealership. i am awaiting whether gm will provide any financial assistance in correcting this powersteering issue. cost to repair approx $850-$1000 each time. request that nhtsa investigate this model year 2007 pontiac g6.

driving along the road a deer came out we tried to swerve to avoid the deer and slammed on the brakes, and vehicle lost steering due to anti skid failure, does not indicate anti skid failure, shows it is operational, tires were very heavily flat spotted, we went off the road and hit a sign and damaged the front of the car after this the air bag sensor is dangling we had no air bag deployment. took it into the dealership when it was still under factory warranty and we were told the anti skid and our cruise control problem was all working and normal, the car will surge forward very fast when the cruise is set, it will go about 10 mph past the set speed, and will go back to the set speed, but not until it goes very quickly to the point where if your not careful you will run up on someone in front of you.

my 2007 pontiac g6 was no longer able to shift between gears as i attempted to park. once the shifter was moved to the park position and my foot released the brake, the car continued to roll. upon inspection, it became known that the shifter cable linkage was fractured. i found there was an open recall by gm on pontiac g6 vehicles manufactured from may 26, 2004 to september 28,2007 (model year 2005-2008 vehicles). the recall (recall 14152) contains the wording "if the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash". this is the exact symptom which struck my vehicle. upon contacting gm about this recall, i was told the vin number of my vehicle isn't included in their predetermined lot of cars they believe to be affected. the fact that my vehicle exhibits the exact issue that gm openly admits to be a problem for vehicles they produced within the year range mine was manufactured, should be cause enough for them to accept responsibility for this issue. this issue is a design flaw which is agitated by the choice of materials used in this specific force application. this isn't a problem that can be isolated to certain vehicles based of the assembly process of select plants. the general engineering design approved and released by gm, or their supplier, was flawed. i find it unacceptable that i am forced to pay out of pocket for a fix relating to a design flaw that gm is trying to selectively downplay. an installation issue could be understandably focused on a specific assembly plant, but a component failure by breakage or fracturing is an obvious mis-application of a poor design.

intermittently leading up to the incident for nearly 3 weeks the car would lose power steering until the car was turned off then turned back on and the issue would not return momentarily. while driving approximately 45 mph the caution chime came on and all power steering was lost and was not able to be reset. after doing research i found that "some" models were recalled for the same issue but this model was not one, it is the same issue and the same parts had to be replaced for a cost of $800.

"transmission shifter cable; brake lights, air bag passenger side, ignition" shifter intermittently hangs up when shifting. called dealership first was told they had no recall for that vin number, that nothing was on file. then when i read him the notice i received today he said that i was to wait until they had parts. i felt uncomfortable driving this car and asked for a loaner. i was told there was nothing he could do. (service dept.) called pontiac cs. 800 762 2737 i was told after explaining my problem that it was the dealerships discretion as to whether to provide a loaner. she talked to dealership, came back and then asked me how many mi was on car. 82k then she talked to dealer again and she comes back and tells me they need to check it and provide me with an estimate for repairs then i am to call the pontiac customer serv back with the estimate. ???????? so i am still driving a car that i don't feel comfortable with because they need an itemized bill of repair? is this the process for a recall? i definitely will not take it to "that dealership" for an inspection as now i do not trust them as their computers had no recalls or repair reports for my car at all.. recall no. 14152 transmission cable i was provided with a case no. and told to call pontiac cs back. p.s. so is this part of the ignition switch and brake lights intermittently coming on while driving down the road also i am confused?????

i was driving approximately 35-40 mph approaching an intersection with a stop sign, (which can sneak up on you if you are not familiar with the area, which i am), and applied my brakes to slow for the sign. the vehicle behind me did not appear to be slowing, and then i hear brakes screeching. the vehicle did manage to stop before hitting me; however, i was rattled. after the almost crash, the driver pulled alongside me and informed me that my brake lights were out. because it was daylight, i went home to investigate, placed my vehicle in park with the engine running, and observed the brake lights were illuminated. when i applied the brake, my finace observed the brake lights go off. unfortunately, i am familiar with this problem and have taken my vehicle into the dealership on two prior occasions to have the issue fixed. apparently it wasn't and is still a problem with the 2007 pontiac g6's.

headlamps for all vehicles: the newer blue, pink, purple colored headlights are blinding to light sensitive eyes. bright lights are bad enough and then almost every vehicle has fog lights that people leave on all the time and are blinding. but, these new colored lights actually hurt light sensitive eyes & totally blind you for more than a second. first time i encountered it scared the heck out of me. more & more people i talk to have the same problem. in heavy traffic at night i have to wear my sunglasses which reduces my visibility. these lights need to be banned before there's a major accident caused by blinding.

upon accelerating at speeds above 50mph, my traction control indicator will come on, sometimes saying traction off, and sometimes saying to service traction. it will sometimes stay on and make my car jerk around a lot while it's shifting gears. if it doesn't go away shortly after it came on, it will go away once i leave my car turned off for a while. it happens so randomly, and sometimes will be months between episodes, that when i've taken it to have it looked at, they can't get it to happen.
