I’ve had my vehicle for quite some time now and it’s been braking down slowly but surely. From The Switches to Wires. I’ve Had One Miner Accident due to The Brakes. I’m Just Curious
Electrical system has mysteriously drained 2 batteries, the exterior lights vary on which will work despite the bulbs being good, the electric power steering comes on then off at inopportune times makes steering heavy and difficult to maintain Speed fluctuation the car will jump into gear or rev up to appropriate gear.
Brake lights stay on when the car is in drive. Cruise control will not work. There are other intermittent electrical issues that are not safety related. With the brake lights always on, other drivers don't know when I'm stopping. The problem is ongoing and has been confirmed by an independent mechanic. there were no warning lights or messages. the problem started several years ago before I owned the car.
TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK THE BACK ROAD HOME CAR STILL SHAKING BUT MADE IT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT STOPPED. NEXT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS STUCK IN THE COLD POSITION WHILE THE CAR WAS HOT AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINS. NEXT MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP I CHECKED FOR RECALLS IT SAYS MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY BUT MY CAR IS DOING EVERYTHING SAID IN THE RECALL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH TWO TODDLER KIDS.
POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION COMES ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN CAR IS STARTED. WHILE STOPED THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUES TO JERK FROM SIDE TO SIDE, MOVING THE FRONT WHEELS WITH IT CAUSING THE CAR TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT. JERKING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT BECOMES WORSE WITH SPEEDS GREATER THAT 50 MPH
MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 SHIFTS SO HARD AND MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME I HAVE LOOKED UP ONLINE AND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 06-07 MODELS AND IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS MINE . IT SHIFTS WAY TO HARD THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FOR SURE ! NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A LEGIT SOLUTION TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM GM REALLY MESSED UP WHEN THEY MADE THESE CARS IF I WOULD HAVE READ REVIEWS FIRST I DEFINITELY WOULD NO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR ! AS SOON A SHARE YOU TURN THE CAR ON AND PUT IT IN TO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JERKS REALLY HARD THEN EVERY 10 MPH YOU GO IT JERKS YOU ALL THE WAY FORWARD TRYING TO SHIFT ! DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED REALLY HOPE THEY DO A RECALL BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK ! I'M SURE EVERYONE WILL APPRECIATE IGNORANCE THEY DO A RECALL !!
WAS ON THE HWY AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING !!! WORKS SOME TIMES!! TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN U PUT IT IN GEAR!!! TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP SOMETIMES WHEN U PUT IT IN PARK!!! EVERY RECALL THAT'S FOR OTHER 2007 PONTIAC G6 IS EFFECTING MY CAR BUT SAYS THERE'S NO RECALL!!!
THE LAST YEAR MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEATBELT LIKE GOES ON AND OFF WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THAT SEAT. MY POWER STEERING LIGHT IS GOING OFF NOW AND POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. AT HIGH SPEEDS I FEEL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND WOBBLY. AT STAND STILL AND STOP SIGNS MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING DUE TO A FEELING OF NO CONTROL OF THE CAR.
AIRBAG IS NOT ON WILL NOT TURN ON. THE ELECTRONIC MOTOR LIKE ALL THE OTHER RECALLS GM SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF IS GOING OUT AND LOCKING UP STEERING. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO GET AN ATTORNEY AND FILE AGAINST GM FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF A DANGEROUS PROBLEM
TAKATA RECALL MY SON GAVE ME THIS VEHICLE AND IT SENT ME A WARNING ABOUT ENGINE LOSS WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT PICKS UP AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I ALSO NOTICED IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRANSMISSION FLUID RESIVOIR. SOMETIMES THEIRS A GAS LEAK WHILE IDLE AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. IT IS A PONTIAC G 6 GT CONVERTIBLE WITH AN OPTIONAL GTP HIGH OUTPUT ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN. THIS IS A TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE WITH ALL OPTIONS. SINCE NEW, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STEER WELL. IT LURCHES UNEXPECTEDLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS OR JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD. IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT AS OF TODAY. IT IS STILL IN THE 36,000 MILE GM WARRANTY PERIOD. THERE HAS BEEN A SNAPPING/POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN SINCE NEW WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE, SITTING STILL OR DRIVING. THE STEERING FEELS VERY UNSTABLE. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STARTED CONSTANTLY PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IF I LET OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL DRIVE OFF THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH AND THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND BUMPY. THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE WHEELS. THIS STEERING IS ELECTRIC. THE PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE RACK AND PINION IS ALSO MAKING NOISE AND BUMPY, NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE WHEELS APPEAR OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THE TIRES APPEAR TO BE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. THIS IS BASICALLY A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE IN FLORIDA. NO RUST. LOOKS AND DRIVES NEW. EXCEPT FOR THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. INTERNET SEARCH AND DEALER PHONE CALL CONFIRMED THAT. GM HAS SEVERAL RECALLS AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS, BUT MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE STEERING SYSTEM IS MAINTENANCE FREE. THERE IS NOTHING THE CUSTOMER CAN DO. THE STEERING COLUMN SENSOR RING IS DEFECTIVE ALSO. THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALSO. THIS COULD COST WELL OVER A $1500 JUST FOR PARTS. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT STEERS IT SELF. THE TRACTION CONTROL SEEMS DEFECTIVE AND UNRELIABLE ALSO.
