Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Steering
Reports naming the steering system — racks, columns, power-steering assist and steering linkage.
From owner reports, verbatim
When driving the vehicle on the highway the vehicles steering wheel started shaking lightly and then all of a sudden the steering got hard and locked up the power steering and it also put a message on the stereo display saying “power steering”. I was able to pull aside of the highway and turn the car off and then back on. That seemed to reset it but the steering wheel kept shaking on its own. I drove it to the nearest car mechanic and explained the problem. I was told it’s very common on the Pontiac G6 and that there is a recall for this issue. Now unfortunately when we look up the car by VIN it says it doesn’t have a recall but the mechanic and myself have done research and there’s a notice about the Pontiac G6 have this exact same issue about the power steering. The problem is very concerning and is also very consistent as it does not go away unless a specific part is replaced which has been inspected and confirmed to be the exact part that is listed on the recall notice. Part #23232310.
The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized, with the air bag warning light and check engine warning light illuminated.

Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, there was a gasoline odor coming from the vehicle. The odor was also outside the vehicle. The contact became aware of a fluid leak underneath the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and a fuel leak was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13E043000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Equipment). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that parts were not purchased from the manufacturer, so the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was unavailable.
I bought my G6 in 2022. After about a year of having it, issues started happening. Everything was fine up until my passenger side airbag warning appeared on my radio screen and it won't go off. Could be a serious issue with the airbag. Maybe around the end of 2023 I started having problems with my power steering. I could drive down the road and all of a sudden my steering wheel would lock up. I could barely get myself to a spot to get off the road. I had to force the steering wheel to turn. I shut the car off for a minute or so just to see what would happen. After I turned the car back on the steering cleared, but as soon as I decided to go back home it locked back up. Now it's starting to lock back up this year. My major issue I have is the gas smell that's coming from the car. The smell is so strong, it's coming inside the car. When I went to get some tires put on car, the mechanic said he smelled the gas and there was a gas leak coming from the tank. The smell is so strong it can cause someone to pass out. It also causes the car to stall when trying to start it. I don't think this is safe. I have to drive my grand kids in my car. There needs to be a recall on this gas leak issue. Someone can get killed or badly injured if not taken seriously. I didn't have any warning signals appear at all about the gas/fuel issue.

From owner reports, verbatim
MY PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I GOT IT. THERE IS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND PONTIAC DOES HAVE OPEN RECALLS FOR THE ISSUE I AM HAVING FOR INADEQUATE SUPPORT OF THE U-JOINTS AND STEERING SHAFT BUT MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE STATE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I ALSO PERIODICALLY LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER RECALL BUT AGAIN PONTIAC SAYS MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR WE HAVE REPLACED PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE SUSPENSION AND BOUGHT NEW TIRES STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT DOES GO OUT COMPLETELY AND IT CAUSES ME TO HAVE A MAJOR CRASH I PRAY TO GOD MY KIDS ARE NOT IN THE CAR AND THAT I DON'T DIE OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. I DO A LOT OF DRIVING FOR MY JOB AND THE SHAKE JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE PONTIAC SAID THEY COULD SET ME UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE JUST BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT STATE DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY USED DIFFERENT PARTS OR PUT IT TOGETHER A DIFFERENT WAY. THE PONTIAC G6 IS A HUNK OF JUNK I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC PRODUCT IN MY LIFE IF THIS ONE DOESN'T KILL ME. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS THREADS DISCUSSING THE TOPIC ON G6PERFORMANCE.COM. THE SHAKING STARTS AT ABOUT 40MPH AND THE FASTER YOU GO TE WORSE IT BECOMES. PLEASE IF ANYTHING AT ALL CAN BE DONE TO HELP I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP SINKING MONEY IN TO THIS CAR NOR CAN I AFFORD TO GET A NEW VEHICLE
AGAIN, I BOUGHT THIS CAR BACK IN 2009 AND THE FRONT END WAS MAKING CLUNKING SOUNDS IN THE FRONT END AT SLOW SPEEDS. ALSO, EVERY SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD SEEMS LIKE I'M DRIVING DOWN A WAR ZONE. I UNDERSTAND THESE ARE LOW PROFILE TIRES AND THE RIDE ISN'T LIKE A CADILLAC, HOWEVER, THE FRONT END ON THESE CARS ARE NOT WELL BUILT. FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE SOUNDS MAKE ME FEEL UNEASY AS IF THE TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FALL OFF FROM ALL THE CLUNKING, POPPING AND OTHER SOUNDS! THIS IS ALSO TRUE IN MANY OTHER GM MODELS, AS WELL. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? OR NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT? WHEN I TRADE THIS IN, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT, THAT'S FOR SURE!
Visibility
Reports naming windshields, glass, wipers, defrosters and mirrors.
From owner reports, verbatim
TAKATA RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR IN JANUARY. WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR IT WAS ALREADY MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE THAT WORSEN. ONCE PURCHASED AND DROVED OFF LOT I NOTICED THAT THE CIG LIGHTER/BATTERY CHARGER DIDN'T WORK EVEN WHEN I CHANGED THE FUSE. THE DOOR LOCKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOT STUCK, THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN POURING RAIN AND NOW OUT OF NOWHERE THE TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS ON A FLAT.
I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY ON THE ON RAMP, JUST AT THE END OF THE RAMP AND MERGING ON I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT GO OFF AND THEN HAD SHATTERED GLASS FLYING INTO MY FACE. I WAS JUST ABOUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. I INSPECTED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND FOUND THAT MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED ON ME. GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING ALL OVER ME. WHEN I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME, OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS MERGING, THEREFORE, NO ROCKS COULD HAVE HIT IT. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. A COUNTY SHERIFF PULLED UP BEHIND ME SHORTLY ON THE SHOULDER. HE STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I BRUSHED THE GLASS OFF OF ME THE BEST I COULD AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE SLOWLY ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 4 WAYS ON TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP, TRYING NOT TO GET A GLASS SHARD IN MY EYE. WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IN THE GARBAGE THEY THROW ENGINE BLOCKS ON TOP OF SUNROOFS TO TRY AND SHATTER THEM AND THEY NEVER DO. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND INSURANCE DOESN'T PAY FOR THIS. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OR BE UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THE RAIN OR THE SNOWY WINTERS IN WISCONSIN.
