REPEATED LOSS OF POWER STEERING, DISPLAYING "SERVICE ESC" MESSAGE ON DASH WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ONCE ON A HIGH SPEED ROAD. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO HELP AT GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

I lost my low beams about a year ago and also one high beam. Just one month ago that headlight went out also. I have read that there are wiring problems r/t the Pontiac G6. I am unable to drive my car at night without headlights. The fuses, bulbs and relay switches are intact and working. My mechanic says it’s a wiring problem. Is the manufacturing company responsible for this kind of problem? Other electrical issues are present. When my seatbelt is on I get a message that it is not. Sometimes if I wiggle or reinsert it the light goes out, but more often than not it is on. I also get messages that says my airbag isn’t working on drivers side. The check engine light goes on and off if I hit a good size bump. I also had a mechanic spray WD40 under my drivers seat and that made the check engine light go out for several months.

i HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY POWER STEERING AND EPS TURNING OFF AFTER MY CAR HAS BEEN CRANKED A MINIMUM OF 2 MIN MAYBE NOT EVEN THAT LONG. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO ROTATES (LIKE SHAKING) WITHOUT THE CAR MOVING AND IF THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN IT POSES A HUGE RISK TO CRASHING AS THE JERKING CAUSES THE CAR TO SWERVE. i TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL ISSUES REPLACE SEEING THAT THE ISSUES I AM HAVING ARE THE EXACT SAME AS THE RECALL RELEASED ON THE PONTIAC G6 WITH RECALL # 14V153000 AND ALSO RECALL# 14E044000. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED I WAS WRONG AFTER THE SERVICE AGENT I SPOKE TO THAT SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT SAID ALL THE PART WERE THERE TO FIX MY CAR AND THEY SEEN THE RECALLS. I NEED ASSISTANCE AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF SEEING AS I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR AND I HAVENT EVEN HAD IT TWO MONTHS YET

IT STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN AFTER NEW BULBS. THIS CAR SEEMS TO HAVE MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH A CHAIN OF EVENTS HAS TURNED INTO STEERING PROBLEMS AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD CLICKING AND FLASHING TO THE RYTHYM OF THE CLICK. WHEN THE DASHBOARD GOES BLACK THE WHEEL WONT TURN AT ALL. I KNOW OF SOMEONE WITH THE SAME CAR WHO HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. EASY TO GET PULLED OVER FOR THAT ONE. CALLED PONTIAC THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. WILL NEVER BUY A PONTIAC AGAIN.

RECALL FIXED THIS IS 3RD TIME . I AM DISABLED AND THIS IS TERRIBLE. AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT OR DONT WORK RIGHT AFTER REPLACEMENT

I WAS COMING OFF OF AN EXIT ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL SEIZED UP, I COULD NOT TURN. MY CAR SMASHED INTO A CEMENT BARRIER COMPLETELY DEMOBILIZED THE CAR AND THE A FRAME COMPLETELY BENT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF.

CAR TURNS OFF WHEN IDLING AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DON'T WORK WHEN IDLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE, ABS, AND SEVERAL OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. ADDITIONALLY, THE TACHOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT GEARS ERRATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

THE TRACTION LIGHT IS COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND REVERTED TO MANUAL STEERING. SENSOR CODES ARE INTERMITTENTLY COMING UP WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS LIT. PROBLEM WITH THE EVAC SYSTEM. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER ENGAGING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVES MORE THAN IT SHOULD. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO STATIONARY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MY TEENAGE SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHICH WAS DANGEROUS.

MY CAR STARTED SMELLING OF GAS. ANOTHER MECHANIC NOTICED A SLOW GAS LEAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE FUEL PUMP. I SEE THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON EARLIER YEARS OF MY MODEL BUT NOT THE 2010. GIVEN THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE CAR.

PASSENGER SEAT NO LONGER SENSES WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER SEATED SO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED. PASSENGER AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IF NEEDED.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED IN REAR RIGHT AREA. SEAT HAS A CRACK IN STEEL FRAME, CAUSING IT TO TILT IN AN AWKWARD DIRECTION, MAKING DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

ON APRIL 16TH 2016 I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. ME AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING BACK TO HIS HOUSE THE ROAD AT NIGHT, WHEN A DEER CROSSED THE ROAD, I ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER TO DODGE THE DEER AND ENDED UP GOING OFF THE ROAD AND LOSING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. MY CAR HIT A FENCE LINE, AS WELL A MULTIPLE SMALL TREES. THE CAR WAS TOTALED YET MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I'VE ALREADY CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND AS EVERYTHING STARTS TO SETTLE WITH THEM I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. WE WERE BOTH BRUISED UP PRETTY BADLY, AND HAD TO GO THE THE EMERGENCY ROOM, AND MY FRIENDS WRIST WAS BROKEN IN THE CRASH.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR DOES NOT OPEN, FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, WHEN UNLOCKED AND WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY.

LEAKING SUNROOF/MOONROOF ISSUE: THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FRONT SEAT NEAR THE INTERIOR LIGHT SWITCH AND SUNROOF BUTTON AREA. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS. THEY STATE YOU MUST PAY A BOGUS DIAGNOSTIC TEST FEE ONLY TO TELL YOU THERE IS A BACK UP IN THE SUNROOF RUNOFF DRAIN AREA THAT CAUSES THE LEAK. STATED THEY NEEDED TO CLEAN THE DRAINS. AFTER THEY "CLEAN/ UNCLOG THE DRAINS, THE NEXT RAINY DAY COMES AND THE LEAK IS BACK. I HAVE VIEWED SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES SEARCHING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE AS THIS LEAK IS DROPPING WATER ON THE INTERIOR CONSOLE WHERE THE DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK AREA IS. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A MECHANICAL ISSUE FURTHER IN THE FUTURE. *TR
