| 2006 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6. MY STEERING WHEEL GETS REALLY TIGHT WHEN TURNING IN ANY DIRECTION THEN IT BECOMES EXTREMELY LOOSE. MY RADIO WILL NOT PLAY ANY CD'S AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP ONCE TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE IT CAUSED MY BATTERY TO DIE. MY RIGHT PASSENGER LIGHT HAS WATER IN IT. MY REMOTE STARTER NO LONGER WORKS ON THE VEHICLE. MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRE SOUNDS AS IF THE BALL JOINT IS LOOSE IN IT. |
| 2006 | STEERING | 2006 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING FAILURE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. TWICE WHILE I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND OCCURRED AS I WAS TURNING AND WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. EVEN WITH MY TEENAGE SON AND I WE COULD BARELY GET THE CAR TURNED AND OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID MY POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD GONE OUT AND AFTER ALMOST $800 HAD IT REPLACED. THE DEALER KEPT THE FAULTY PART. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT PONTIAC HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER IT ONLY WENT THROUGH 70,000 MILES AND AT THE TIME OF MY SERVICE I HAD 70,107 MILES AND IT COULD NOT BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANT. SINCE THAT REPAIR I STILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS USUALLY WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE AND WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE POWER STEERING USUALLY RETURNS HOWEVER THERE ARE MANY TIMES IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PULL OVER AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. WITH THE RECALL ON THE PONTIAC G5 IT SEEMS GM KNOWS OF A POWER STEERING PROBLEM AND THE G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED ALSO. *TR |
