My passenger airbag light turns on and off at random points while driving. It doesn't happen every day and there is no common thing that causes it to turn off and on. Leads me to believe that it is malfunctioning and will not work properly if there were an accident.
On april 29, 2013 my husband was involved in a collision with our 2007 pontiac g6. He hit the rear end of a truck, head on, going 80 mph and the airbags did not deploy. Not one. Our vehicle was totaled out.the damage sustained to our vehicle and impact of the collision should have sent every airbag in the front of the car off.
Airbag lamp illuminates while vehicle is in operation. The driver information center displays an airbag malfunction message and has a warning chime. During this time the system is identifying that the airbag system is not operating. The issues seems to be related to the sensor in the front passenger seat. If the vehicle is shut off the error message and indicator lamp go away. This has been happening more frequently over the last year. In addition the driver information center sometimes fails to turn on with the vehicle, making it hard to tell when there is an issue with the vehicle. During this time the information screen/radio are not illuminated. This is corrected by shutting off and restarting the vehicle.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 136,967.
Passenger air bag sensing system.air bag module needs to be replaced.this is a recall for certain 2007 pontiac g6 vins but mine is not covered.should the recall cover more vins if i'm having the same issue as other same year model g6's?
Whith entine running:at approximately 50,000 miles the service air bag light in the radio screen illuminated intermitently.it continued to do so for some time.at about 60,000 miles, it illuminates almost all the time.noticed that on some hot days over 105 degrees, the light goes off.currently, on constantly.phoned dealers and estimates exceed $800 without inspection.outrageous.vehicle in excellent condition.
Airbag service message &. Dash lightcomes on.often. ,when i put my fog lights on.it turns the headlights off.it was in motion &.parked
I am the 2nd owner to a g6 have noticed since about a month or so after purchasing vehicle that when turning at slow speeds there is a clanking/banging noise.have noticed several others mention of this same issue. Now it shows obvious recall for the u joint for this vehicle, yet both dealerships and pontiac are only saying it is vin specific which to me is a crock of (you fill in).there is obviously a problem with this yet they want to do nothing.guess major accidents or death must need to result in order for them to fix the issue. Also at just any random time the airbag warning will just pop up on my dashboard.vehicle has been in no accidents, so there should be no reason to that just randomly "poppign up"i will be making formal complaints to bbb and national safety website. If you post a recall for a vehicle, it is not vin specific as they are all using the same parts.come on gm we are not idiots here!!!!!
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator constantly remained illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bag might not deploy in the event of a crash.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Air bag deployment:hit a dog at 55 mph, damage over $2,000, my seat belt locked up ripped my coat and bruised ribs, broke the seat belt. Air bags did not deploy. The smell of the air bags deploying filled the car. The air bag service engine light came on but gm dealer that did the auto body repair said air bags do not deploy at that speed when you hit an animal, and they were not going to service it. Instead they disabled the light.
I was driving came across 4 deer, hit two of them damaged my front end(hood,bumper,passenger side front panel,passenger side head light) and my air bags did not deploy.
The passenger seat fails to realize that someone is sitting in the seat with the seat belt buckled. Therefore the light and bell continuously goes off when someone is sitting in it or not.
"takata recall" i have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter.the air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly.the ab light continuouslyblanking the words "needs to be serviced" and i've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.

2007 g6 gt-the air bag service light has came on approx. 3 times requiring the module to be replaced, $700 each time good for i did purchase the extended warranty so i have not had to pay yet.
Pontiac g6 2007 suffered a total failure of the power steering column and sensor, which needed to be replaced for approximately $700.00. Although this very issue is subject to recall in other model year pontiac g6 vehicles, the 2007 is not subject to the recall.a letter was sent to gm notifying them of part failures and costs. To date, gm has not responded to the notification, and the 2007 model year has not been included in the current recall.simultaneously, pontiac g6 2007 suffered a total failure of front passenger air bag system, so that the passenger air bag would not be deployed. When i notified gm, they stated it was a"warranty" issue, and normal "wear and tear". The estimated cost of repair was over $1500, for this critical safety feature. A letter was sent to gm notifying them of part failures and costs. To date, gm has not responded to the notification.
February 2017 i was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me.i turned the ignition off & then turned the car back on & it never happened again until 11/13/17.i was driving & my steering wheel locked up. I almost caused an accident.i called greenwood chevrolet hubbard to inquire about any recalls & i was told there were no recalls at this time & the recalls that were issued i was serviced for.11/13/17 was not the first time that i called to inquire about recalls for my car.i call often when i see other gm cars have recalls.i called gm to inquire about a recall & i was given the same information that greenwood gave.i took my car to firestone complete auto care on 11/15/17 & they made me aware of recall # 15356.they found the recall information when they ran the diagnostic test.they suggested that i take my car to the dealership & let the recall fix the issue.when i call the dealership and gm i was told that the recall expired on march 12, 2017.i never received and type of correspondence about the recall.what if i get in a car accident and harm someone else or myself.i feel that gm should have to pay to fix a faulty part that they installed into their product. I also keep getting a check air bag signal on my car every so often.i'm almost scared to drive my car.i also called the dealership that i purchased the car from and they stated that i would've had to call if i was having the problem then they would've honored the recall.i asked the dealership how can i call about a problem if it's not happening at the present time and why wasn't i notified about the recall.the dealership is diane sauer chevroletphone: [xxx]. I don't know if my air bag is takata; however, something is wrong for the signal to keep flashing that it needs to be checked.my phone number is [xxx] and my name is [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was parked in a parking lot and my air bag light came on and it flashes check air bags. And my seat belts won't extend to buckle. Also, under my hood it starts to smoke and there's no leak or anything.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 45 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the vehicle jerked severely when the gear shifter stick was placed in any position. The failure occurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft sensor and the evaporative control system failed and needed to be replaced. The mechanic did not provide details on the air bag issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
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.
Takata recall the air bags for both the driver and passenger take 3 to 4 miles of driving before they come on.the light says they are off.
Air bag requires service light appears.passenger "airbag off" light is illuminated when a passenger is in the seat.this happens intermittently.

I have a 2007 pontiac g6. I have been having issues with my brake lights coming on while i am accelerating and the brake lights go off when i brake putting me at higher risk for an accident. I have also experienced issues with having a hard time shifting out of park as well as my cruise control cuts off randomly for no reason and lastly i am also have a check airbag light that will not go off.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated whenever the passenger side seat was occupied the passenger air bag light failed to illuminate indicating that it was in use.the dealer was made aware of the failure who stated that there was no recalls related to the failure and that in order to determine what exactly was causing the problem they would need to run a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was notified of the failure which did not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was 87,000.
"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 cablei 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 have 61954 miles on my 2007 pontiac g6 march 30 2007 brand new. There was a recall #06143 the air bag service system /fmvss 208.my vin # was not notified. The summary of this recall is identical as to what is now happening car. If i have a passenger in my front side seat when they get out of the car. I get an alarm. I do not normally have a passenger and drive back and forth to work 4 miles 4 days a week. I feel this should be recalled since 359 complaints were submitted in back in 2007 and recalled, i never received a notification about it.please extend this recall. I very seldom have a passenger in the front right seat.recently when someone gets out get of the car i am now getting an alarm. If play with the seat belt it stops. This is a real safety hazard.i always service my car when it needs it. I took it to lannan chevelot woburn ma 01890 this week. They diagnosedand foundpassenger presence module has a intermittent internal failure. This is the same problem as recall # 06143.please review my claim, and contact me if you have any questions.
The passenger side airbag indicator light will come on. This has been happening since 2011. I believe this has a correlation with the battery because when the indicator light starts to come on every time i'm driving the car, i know the battery will soon die. I have been through three batteries since owning my car (2010). Once i get a new battery, the indicator light will not come on for a while.
2007 pontiac g6.i was driving to work today morning and suddenly i heard a beeping sound.the seat belt sign on thedashboard was lit.i also get a message that says "service airbags".i have had this car for tow years now and this car has never been even in a minor accident.am not sure what causes this message to come up.probably my airbags are defective.
I purchased a brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in 2008.the passenger side airbag light is always on.i had to replace the brake pads at 20,000 miles and the brakes are still giving me problems.when i turn the steering wheel, the car makes a crackling, loud sound.the headlight plugger had to be replaced due to them being burned out.i am very unhappy with this car.i am a single mother and i am sorry i did not research this car beforehand.i would not recommend this car to anyone.i took the car to the dealer and the price they will charge to fix everything is too expensive for me.
"service air bag" lights up on the dash.it codes as a b0081 symptom 71 passenger air bag
Driving along the road a deer came out we tried to swerve to avoid the deerand 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.
Airbag light comes on all of the timeafter startingthere is an odd whistle type noise that we cannot figure out. It occurs when accelerating.
A service airbag message and the airbag light comes on intermittently. Sometimes it stays on for 3-7 days and sometimes it doesn't turn on for over 30 days. I took the vehicle to a pontiac/gm dealer and the light was not on at the time and they could not test it. I took it back to the same dealer about 6-9 months later and they stated that the sensor below the front-passenger seat needed to be replaced. According to them, the sensor and seat cushion comes as a one unit and both needed replacement. The estimated cost of parts and labor was about $1500. After searching online for possible solutions, i realized that there are many complaints from other owners having the same issue. I think that gm should consider recalling all vehicles with this issue, especially when it starts happening at a relatively early stage or at low mileage.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. In addition, the contact stated that the gears were difficult to shift and would seize. On one occasion, the contact was unable to shift from drive into reverse or park. The contact was required to use excessive force to shift into park and activated the emergency brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling away. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 14v224000 (power train) however, the part was unavailable to remedy the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and uncertain of when the remedy would become available. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.updated 10/7/14updated 7/15/2015
The airbag dash symbol lit up and a message to check the airbag appeared on the screen. When i parked and turned off the car and turned it back on the airbag warning stopped. This happened twice on this day and once the next day. Today, a month later,the same thing recurred but i did not stop the car to turn it off. I removed a second set of keys attached to the car keys and the warning stopped while i continued to drive.
My service air bag light is on. My passenger air bag doesn't work. My traction control, esc, and abs light come on. My panoramic sunroof wont close. All of these are on the recall list but apparently every car other than mine is bad. When i drive the esc light will come on and pull me to the next lane. My passenger airbag is a safety concern for my passengers. I was on the freeway and my car went into the other lane and i almost hit a semi with my kids in the car. The car makes a loud whistle noise while driving, the car jerks to the left. The car makes loud noises in the front end like the car is gonna fall apart. Replaced the front end $1000.00 worth of work and still making the noise. Ate my brand new tires up.

I have a 2007 pontiac g6. On at least 5 occasions i have lost my power steering. Usually while backing out of a parking spot. It also happened once when i went over a frost heave. This has all been within the last month.last night i went over another frost heave and my service air bag came on. It stayed on the next 4-5 times i drove my car. It finally shut off this afternoon.
I'm on a busy city street and i went to put my vehicle from reverse into drive and i noticed that it wasn't going into gear and when i would accelerate on the gas to make my vehicle go it would just rev up like it wasn't a year and then i would you know take it back to reverse and then back to drive and it would still not go into gear finally after about two or three tries of this it finally got to go into drive and i made it to home the next morning when i went to leave i tried to crank my vehicle and it would not start so a friend of mine pop the hood and he noticed that the thing that puts my car into gear was not attached anymore and that is why my vehicle would not start and i had the problem that i had the night prior.next problem i have is my airbag symbol pops up off and on while i'm driving and we'll stay on for a while and then go off and then it'll come back on about a week later and then it'll go off again and this happens when i'm driving on the highway down the street just randomly.next is my power steering power steering when i start the vehicle and put my car into gear and attempt to turn my wheel to reverse or you know to get out of a parking position my power steering will be really hard really tight i try to turn it and i can't turn it very far because of the pressure behind it i will put my car back into gear turn off the car and turn my steering wheel as much as i can to the left as far as it'll go and then to the right as far as it'll go and then finally it will loosen up so where i can turn my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a fuel odor inside and around the vehicle. In addition, the air bag light remained illuminated and a beeping noise was present. The vehicle was taken to a certified independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,910.
The airbag sensor on the passenger side doesn't work it comes on when we are sitting in the seat with the seatbelt fasten we have taken the car to the chevrolet dealer and they said that we would have to fix it ourselves we don't have the money to do this. If we are in an accident and the air bag doesn't deploy then someone is going to get hurt bad and then there is going to be a lawsuit i hope that you can get a recall on this so ican get it fixed
While driving or stationary as i turn the wheel either way i here a clacking noise. I thought it was my c.v. Axles but my joints are still sealed. So i began to think it was my steering column because after a certain amount of turning it for really really hard to turn then a load clack then it would pass the stress point turn easier but still make the clacking noise when turning it back. That would happen in both directions.
We have a clunking in the front end of this piece of crap while turning. We have replaced the strut & spring assembly and sway bars in the front, as well asthe rear shocks. Now its getting hard to turn and appears to be the power steering or a steering shaft issue. Also the passenger side airbag light is now on after the fuse for the cruise control blew, replaced fuse and still remains on. I purchased this car for my 16 year old daughter and now feel its a death trap, there appears to be numerous problems with this car and no recalls. How would you feel if it was your child driving it, or yourself for that matter. You really need to get it together and do something!!!
I was stopped at a stop sign. Other vehicle stopped to my left, so i turned right. He accelerated, hitting my car. I had a hole in my door[ drivers] and he took my bumper off, totaling my car. The air bags never deployed. He hit me hard enough to put a large hole in the metal door, and the drivers side air bag, or any airbag, did not deploy.
The "service air bag" warning message keeps popping up on the dashboard information center this started very intermittently and has gradually become worse. When the car is first started the message appears and it stays on until the car is shut off and restarted. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the light comes on. I could happen two trips in a row or once every few weeks.
Note: the date provide in the upper part of this form is not accurate because the webpage would not let correct date be entered. This vehicle's electronic messaging system (in the dashboard) frequently shows the message: "service air bag"the first occurrence of this message occurred within the first 6 months after the vehicle was purchased.the problem was reported to the dealership service manager, who responded, "i've never heard of that."the problem has occurred randomly/semi-regularly since that time.sometime later, the vehicle was taken into the dealership service department while the message was showing, and a request was made to make a notation of theproblem on the vehicle's service record, the request was ignored by the service manager.additional information: for the first 3 years after this vehicle was purchased, it had major electronic problems that were later corrected by replacing the factory-installed battery, that the dealership parts manager stated was the wrong size (it was too small), with the correct size battery.however, the "service air bag" message has continued to appear frequently and at random.having just checked the nhtsa website (thanks to an alert from fox news) and discovering an air bag related recall, this vehicle will be taken intop the dealership. Along with a print-our of the recall, for repair.
My power steering shows on the dashboard and it is so tuff to turn either way can you replace it please
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact was driving in reverse approximately 3 mph when the passenger's side air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis and they stated that the failure was contributed to the passenger sensing system. There was a recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 07v146000 (air bags) but the contact's vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they offered to assist with sixty percent of the repair expense. The approximate failure mileage was 57,700. The vin was unavailable.
Sometimes while driving the "service airbag" message will appear and then the airbag light comes on. I have only notice it a couple of times but my husband has notice it more. Can this please get recalled because having airbag issues is a major problem.
Power steering issues and it states it on my radio screen the moment i put it in reverse.also my check engine light keeps coming on,while on i have issues rolling up/down my power windows.
Driver's side airbagdash lightcame on. With the message.serviceairbag.
1) power steering unit seems to be going in out while driving. After it acts up there is a lot of plat in the steering until the car is shut off. There has been a recall on same year model of g6's for same issue. Started last summer then stopped over the winter, then started again this spring.2) passenger airbag sensor doesn't work all of the time, or will shut off while someone is sitting in the seat. Know recall on other models of same year like above. Has done this since we bought it from the dealer. They told us it would cost us $$$$ to fix it.
My car was involved in an hit and run accident in front of my home. The front end was rebuilt. Ever since that accident the airbag light comes on in the dash and radio.this is a daily thing. It even lights up when no one is in the passenger seat. I also noticed this year that my seat belt light has come on as i was wearing it meaning the light states i didn't have it on when i did. This year i also lost steering in the car due to a bad alternator which fried my battery and passenger head lamp socket. Good thing i lost the steering while i was parking and no on a highway... These problems i encountered are very similar to the ignition switch issues.when i switched insurance companies to progressive they had on their website about recalls i clicked it and saw a recall for the issue i was having. I called about it and was denied. So i let it go because no one would help me. Then i saw on c-span that this was an issue with the ignition switch and air bag. Once again i called and was denied. They said my vin number didn't match the infected vehicles. Now i have a recall that states that gm is concerned about my safety and there is a recall for the shift cable assembly. If gm is concerned about my safety then this issue i have will be investigated. All i ask is thatgm do the right thing for me one of their customers.
Loss of all power steering while driving. Power steering displayed on display screen. Loss of power steering made it extremely difficult to drive and extremely dangerous. This issue could definitely cause a very serious accident. The problem then became intermittent in the following days it would take up about four time to start the car to be able to start driving without power steering. My car is not included in any of the recalls. I took to a gm dealership they diagnosed that the problem was indeed, the torque module sensor, which is the same as all the other vehicles under recall. So why is my vehicle not included?!?! i had this issue fixed today. Another issue that also just started happening in the past few weeks is my passenger airbag will intermittently will not work. The airbag display will show on my dash board and it will show that the passenger airbag is off. This light comes at random times whether or not there is someone sitting in the passenger seat. I also had this diagnosed at the gm dealership. The said it was my pps (passenger presence system) this also needs a new sensor and it will cost $700 to fix!!!! there is service bulletin regarding this for my car so they are obviously aware that this a common problem. The service tech at gm said that is extremely dangerous to drive with this (no kidding) and that if the airbag light is displayed on the dash none of my airbags will deploy. Lets hope that gm does not drag their feet on this, all someone needs is to loose their power steering, crash, and have no airbags deploy. I have not had my airbags fixed as i already had to spend $400 plus to have my power steering corrected. If gm does not correct this asap i predict they will have many more lawsuits coming their way. Lets hope i do not get into a serious accident until gm decides to pay for it or until i can save enough money to fix this safety issue.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the driver fell asleep while traveling 80. The driver and crashed into a metal culvert. The vehicle then rolled until crashing into a pole. The air bags failed to deploy. The seat belt also failed and became disengaged from around the driver. The driver was injured and sustained two fractured vertebrae, broken bones in the left leg, a head concussion and other head injuries, chest contusions, back contusions and several lacerations. The vehicle was destroyed and was not inspected for the cause of the air bag and seat belt failure. A police report was not filed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the incident. The failure and current mileage was 118,000.
"service air bag" comes across the dic indicating it needs service done to it. Turn vehicle off and back on and the light goes away. If the car is turned on (tried many times) and someone is sitting in the passenger seat, the service message comes on after a few tries. All connectors have been checked and liquids have not been spilled on the seats.
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
The "service airbag" warning light came on yesterday for no apparent reason.there have been no liquid spills on either driver or passenger seats, ever."deep dive" researching this topic online suggests gm did a failure analysis andknows the mysterious warning light problem and it's root cause.gm recalled just 359 individual cars of my type and vintage.ironically, the same recall covers many other gm vehicle types of multiple year models. There are apparently as many complaints from owners outside those otherwise approved for recall repair.gm appears to be following the fiat/chrysler playbook related to the jeep zj fuel tank recall in the later case.reading the accident events reported and injury related to what appears to be unwarranted and/or illegitimate g6 airbag service airbag / non-deployment events, it sound like there may be more than 359 each2007 pontiac g6's with similar bad air bag sensors that gm should otherwise want toand unilaterally with "arms wide open" invite customers to have them make the safety repair under the same recall, or just as a customer "good will" gesture.others who have contacted gm claim the customer no service feedback attained is regret that there is nothing gm customer care can do, since their vins are outside the "359".repair estimates i've read about are upwards of $850 - $900.meanwhile, there are websites that will take and reset the airbag sensing module for $45. Customers apparently found the $45 reset fixes the issue satisfactorily. Wishing gm would get bigger pants on and look beyond the little number and instead think instead about the potential"big number", as fiat/chrysler learned about in thier 1986 - 1988 grand cherokee zj case... One grand cherokee fuel tank location safety event alone.. South georgia boy burned alive in his carseat~ $50 million dollar settlement. Smart chrysler, smart gm.

The passengerair bag light is always on showing that there is a malfunction with airbag.did search and shows my year and date of manufacture there is a recall but doesn't show up with my vin number and dealer will not replace.
Driving during snowy conditions, i began to lose control and spin out.i attempted to correct my steering, then my car fish tailed. I slid into the ditch, never used my brakes. I took out a sign with the drivers side and hit about 3-4 trees with the front end. My airbags never deployed. Thank goodness no one was injured, but the amount of damage done and how many things i hit, shocks me as to why my airbag never deployed.
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.
At random times (every time the vehicle is operated), the passenger side airbag alert light illuminates (accompanied by a 3-tone alert) and a dash message saying "service air bag." the dealer diagnosed this as a faulty passenger-side airbag sensor. There is been a previous recall for these sensors (gm recall no. 06143; nhtsa campaign #07v146000), but it was limited to 359 vehicles. My vehicle's vin number was not included in that recall, so the dealer refused to replace the sensor free of charge, quoting $900 for repair/replacement. A search on safercar.gov website shows 81 other complaints about 2007 pontiac g6 airbags as of 9-27-2016, many with similar symptoms to my vehicle, so there are obviously problems with pontiac's airbag sensors systems that extend beyond the initial recall. Since this is a serious safety issue, it is imperative that pontiac extend the recall to include the additional vehicles affected.a conversation with pontiac yielded a typical response: "your vehicle is not included in the initial recall, so there's nothing we can do."
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the air bag light would turn off and on regardless if the passenger seat was occupied. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the technician was unable to diagnose a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 156,000.
My daughter was in an accident on 3/27/2015. She tboned another car totaling my car. The front end was seriously damaged. Neither airbag deployed. She sustained a neck and head injury. Nothing major but could have been more serious. Esis said they will not persue my claim with them any further as i do not have enough proof that their product is defective.
Miles 99,543 when i came back out the store i turn my car on to experience my steering wheel was harder to turn then usual. I turn my car off and on and the problem was still there. I went to advance auto to get a bottle of fluid and find out my steering wheel is electric and the recall that was on it expired a few years ago ! my concern is what if i spend my money to get it fix and the problem occur again. Anothee issue is that my service air bag pops up across the radio sometimes
I turned into a parking lot not going no more than 15 mph and my tired blew and by the tire blowing it pulled my car into a pole that be in the parking lots and again i was not going more than 15 mph and when my side passengerside struck the pole it deployed my air bags. Noted the car was not hit in the front nor damaged to where the airbags were suppose to come out. Before that when i drive my car my airbag service air bags lights would come on. And if i have a passenger sittin in the passengerside seat it would read that no one is in the seat and the air bag would be off then if you ride for awhile it would pop back on. But the airbags deploying caused great amount of pain to my husband face and my chest area.
I had rear ended somebody on the freeway doing approx 35 mph.the damage to my car included folded up hood, punctured radiator, busted up bumper and both headlights.the airbags did not deploy.there looked to be sufficient damage and speed to cause them to pop.not sure why they didn't.i had my seat belt on but am still very sore from the accident and it just happened today.
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.
As i attempted to turn left the steering was difficult to turn and the gas wasn't accelerating correctly and suddenly took off and crashed into a vehicle ahead of me.
Passenger side air bag seat sensor failure. Common problem, thousands of complaints reported online. This is a serious issue that gm refuses to fix. This should be a recall, lives are at risk because of this equipment failure."service airbag" displays on radio and dash lights after passenger exits vehicle and some times while vehicle is in motion.
I started my car and my airbag sensor lit up on my dashboard and on my stereo screen it said "service air bag". There was an issue with my passenger air bag when i purchased the vehicle in june 2014 but they said they had it reset before i purchased it. Also, on multiple occasions people have told me at stop lights that my brake lights are on while i am driving and off while i am stopped. I found online that this a recall issue but it doesn't pull up for my particular vin number. These are issues outside of the recalls that i was already forced to deal with.
I was driving home going 65 mph down a major highway on a clear warm night. All of a sudden my 2007 pontiac g6 pulled to the right and i couldn't correct it. When the car finally responded, iwas thrown across the highway into the divider cables.my airbags didn't deploy and the entire front end was crushed. Thank goodness i was not around any of the semi-trucksthat came up over the small hill behind me once i limped the car to the side of the road.i had to get the car towed and insurance totalled it out without any testing done. After reading on this site, it's sad to see that i'm not the only one this has happened to.thank god i was not seriously injured.
On morning commute to work traffic slowed and driver in vehicle attemptedto slow down. Vehicle then slid off the left sideof the roadway into the median and struck the guardrail head on. Airbags were not deployed. Vehicle deemed a total loss. Driver was not seriously injured.
Transmission , when shifting into park it will sometimes not go into park and the car will roll backwards or clanking noise happens. Also when u take the car out of park it will not go into reverse!! steering, when making turns there something going on it wants to drift and makes a noise! airbag sensor comes on and goes off by itself even with a passenger in the seat says airbag system not working these are all recalls but says my vin# isnt part of the recall! but vehicle doing everything thats it says in the recall
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 35 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously.the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the diagnosis was unknown. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.
While turning right or left usually at a slow speed or from a complete stop making a sharp turn, the steering pops, you can hear and feel it in the steering wheel. It started at about 50,000 miles and has continued while getting gradually worse. I took it in way back when it was still under warranty and told that the steering arm needed to be replaced but i could not afford it at the time so i waited and now unfortunately my extended warranty has expired at 81,000 miles. Recently (just after my warranty expired!) the passenger air bag light keeps coming on and off while my husband or i am sitting in the passenger seat. We commute 2 hours a day on a very dangerous pass. We are very concerned about this. I will be checking with my locate dealer to find out if there is a recall on the airbag.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact stated that both the driver and passenger airbag indicators would illuminate sporadically.the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 07v146000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module) but did not confirm if the vehicle was included in the recall.the vehicle was not inspected by a dealer andthe manufacturer was not contacted.the failure mileage was 51,000 and the current mileage was 53,000.
I bought the car in november 2009.i first noticed it 2 weeks after i purchased.the cruise would always turn off randomly.i noticed then that the brake lights would randomly come on.now they are pretty much on all the time even when the car is in park.they don't turn off unless car is off.the air bag light will come on and say its on when there is no one in the passenger seat.and sometimes when a passenger is in the seat it will be off.also with this the seatbelt alarm will ding and ding until i buckle in my invisible person.it isn't all the time but it worries me because having a faulty air bag is not cool.i've contacted gm because i saw that these things were on recall but they told me that my vin isn't recalled even though its the exact same issue.is there any way you can help?

We have been having trouble with car since we purchased it about a year or two ago we financed our threw browns auto world fayetteville, nc and since then we have trouble with the air bag light randomly coming and shutting off are brakes were put on backwards we also had alot of trouble with acceleration of the car you could only get up to a certain speed of the car before it began to shake, the end result being the camshaft sensor, and brakes. We have also had a situation with the fuel pump which a mechanic said was very weakfrom the begining. We have recieved several recalls on the car but everytime we took it gm motors they looked up the vin and said our was fine but it matched was written on the recalls so my question is where do i go from here? what is my next step?
I was driving and noticed that my airbag sensor light was coming on. It occasionally comes on and it goes off. I'mhaving a issue with something underneath my car. I replaced tierod and got two front end alignments.since purchasing this car in october 2013 i complained to dealership my concerns for my car not feeling safe. It seems to be something in steering or underneath vehicle.my thermostat gauge fluctuates from zero degrees to 220 degrees while driving.water pump was replaced and it still occurs.
Takata recall airbag light came on for no reason and won't go off. Information center says check airbag .tell me what to do
The air bag light goes on and a bell rings about three times and the air bag light stays on as long as drive the car,it is a very frightening situation. I feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes thinking would it go off and make me have an accident. If afraid to even let my daughter drive it. I bought the car used in 2008 so i don't know if the previous owner ever took it for the recall. I was looking in the internet and saw that in 2007 there was a recall for air bags on the passenger side. Which it is exactly where it is happening in my vehicle recall 07v146000. I'm having this problem constantly. Place advise me in what to do before there is an accident. I will not continue to drive it because i fear for my life and my family. My name is [xxx]. It is beginning to happen my often. Am i still eligible for the recall. A mechanic put a code machine and told me that it comes from the passenger side seat.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Passenger right front air bag light stays on.computer diagnosis indicates faulty air bag sensing system.recall issuedid# 07v146000 but does not cover 2007 pontiac g6.gm refuses to fix at no cost because vehicle is beyond warranty.
While driving the airbag light will come on. The light will turn off after a while then repeatgoing off and on.
Have owned vehicle since oct. 2008. Approx 1yr ago in 2009, started to experience airbag problems. Adult person of sufficient weight will sit in front passenger seat. At random points of car ride, passenger side airbag indicator will show "off" and car will chime while displaying message "airbag off" even though a person is sitting in the seat. Also, randomly when driving "service airbag" will show on dash and indicator light will show "on" when seat is not occupied. Contacted manufacturer and was told vin is not included on airbag recall nhtsa # 07v146000 despite experiencing those issues.
I was completely stopped at a red light on the off ramp of the freeway when a truck hit me from the back which forced me into the jeep in front of me. I was hit dead on in the rear which caused me to hit the jeep in front of me dead on, my air bags did not deploy. This caused damage to my neck, shoulders and back also has a bruised liver.***why didn't my airbags deploy****
Vehicle was having numerous issue's when i originally bought it under "gm certified" warranty. The vehicle when a passenger exits the vehicle after driving will keep the airbag sensor engaged and left on. The car will continue to beep for the passenger to buckle up the seat belt until you either stop and turn off the car or buckle the seat. This is without any weight on the vehicle. The airbag will also randomly turn off and on while a passenger is sitting in the vehicle during turn's and other common driving techniques. I have had three gm dealers look at the issue and they have failed to diagnose and fix the problem. I have been notified that they are pulling a code out of the ecm that they don't even know what it means... Gm has failed to fix or offer a fix for this issue and i am worried that if these continue to happen if i am in a accident with a passenger my passenger airbag may not deploy because of the sensor issue. It has been checked for faulty wiring etc all have come up negative.

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.
Ever since i purchased this car the headlights never stay on.it's either one or the other, no matter how often i replace them, one goes out.it's dangerous for me to drive with my child in the car with one headlight.i've had it "fixed" several times, even the wiring.despite my attempts, i still always only have one headlight.
My vehicle's electrical power steering has gone completely out. It went out once while i was fully stopped at a red light and another time while i was going 70mph on the highway, resulting in a complete loss of steering in the vehicle. While the power steering was still working somewhat, the steering wheel would jitter/shake left and right (mainly to the left). The vehicle's power steering would also occasionally be out when the vehicle is started and would usually come back on when the vehicle is restarted a few times. The vehicle is currently not safe to drive.
I own a 2007 pontiac g6. The brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not even touched. When i do apply the brake, the brake light shuts off. This has caused several "close calls" during highway driving. I am aware that there was a recall for this exact problem on the 2005and 2006 pontiac g6's, which was diagnosed as corrosion in a wiring connector problem. Perhaps some of these bad wiring connectors were used in the 2007 cars. I contacted gm and got the "party line""sorry but your year 2007 is not included in the recall" even though the problem is exactly the same as the recalled 2005's and 2006's. Will it take a terrible accident to acknowledge thatthere is a serious problem here??????????
The brake lights on my car come on when i am not pressing the brake.i can be driving and they will come on by themselves, i can tell because the cruise control will dis engage and will not re engage.it took me a while to isolate the problem to the brakes, i had to have someone follow me in order to tell me when it was happening.it poses a safety risk because, you have you brake lights on all the time so cars behind you don't know when you are actually stopping.
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.
Radio was not working pushed the radio button now the radio comes on and off the speedometer is not working check engine light is on where the milage is it says error i saw where there is an electrical recall but dealer says not on this car.
2007 pontiac g6 has problems with the brakes lights not working properly. Same problems as tsb-08-05-009a but, not covered under recall. Hard to shift from park, brake lights working intermittently.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights remained illuminated on the vehicle. The brake lights would disengage when the brake pedal was depressed with great force. The failure was intermittent. The dealer diagnosed that the pedal position sensor needed to be replaced. The contact believed that the diagnosis was incorrect because the pedal position sensor had been replaced two weeks prior to the diagnostic test. The vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the brake lights would remain illuminated while driving after the recall repair was performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
My brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not being touched and then go off when the brake pedal is being pushed. The brake pedal switch has been replaced along with various other attempts to fix the problem with no success.
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 itscared 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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving, the contact attempted to activate the cruise control, but was unsuccessful. The contact was informed by another driver that the brake light was constantly illuminated while the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,605.
I purchased my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder with 40k on the odometer on 5/13/2021. I notice right away it started having problem when i drove it home and it has been almost three weeks now and the problem is intermitten. This issue happens on local road city speed (25mph) and on highway doing highway speed (60mph) intermittently. When this issue occurs the steering wheel shake like crazy and it seems like it wants to pull over to the left or the right (feels like the car wants to drive itself). I would have to put some force to keep the steering wheel straight. The error code would pop up on the radio display stating "power steering". There was a recall for this issue for the electronic power steering assist. The problem is that the recall expired 6/31/2006 and my car is made on 7/2006 so the vin number does not fall in the recall list. The situation is dangerous and this issue need to be address. This recall should extend to all 2005-2010 pontiac g6 with electronic power steering not just pick and choose which year can be on the recall list. This is ridiculous because gm know this problem and they don't care enough to do what they are supposed to do..obviously i have no dealer warranty since the vehicle is 14 years old so a recall would help since the manufacturer is 110% at fault. Gm should included more years on this recall list.. The amount gm dealer wants to fix the problem is ridiculous. Please help.
My brake lights will constantly stay on. I am also having problems where my cruise control will not work. I see this is a big problem and there is a recall on the pontiac g6's for this time frame but my car is not on there. Is there a way i can get it fixed under the recall?
Electrical assist power steering quits working while driving resulting in loss of steering. Has almost caused me to wreck multiple times. Gm says there is nothing they can do. Issue happens while driving and while sitting still. Happens while going straight and also while turning on any type of road.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, both brake lights illuminated continuously even though the brake pedal was not depressed.in addition, whenever the brake pedal was engaged, the brake lights failed to illuminate.

When i was driving, don't know for sure the speed, the engine started to overheat the a/c started blowing hot air i stopped at an auto parts store and replaced a cooling sensor on the side of the engine. Some how it kept doing it only in the summer. Then not long after that my oil pressure light kept going on and off periodically.either speeding up or going around corners it comes on dining and turning the light on. The oil pressure light started coming on just after an oil change. I've had it changed twice since then and its still happening.no one seems to know what it is.
I had to replace the passenger low beam headlight back in february 2015 and again in april 2015. The low beam headlight went out again 3 days later. I have since been pulled over for a headlight lamp being out. I keep replacing the low beam headlight but clearly it's not the bulb. I had a 2008 pontiac g6 prior to the 2007 pontiac g6 and it had the same problem with the passenger low beam headlight. I called gm to see about recalls for this issue and was told it was the brake lamp malfunction. I specified that nothing was wrong with my brake lights and they then told me it was still under the recall so they scheduled and appointment with the dealership to have it fixed. Upon arriving home after i left the dealership for this recall and the passenger low beam headlight was still out. I immediately called the dealership back and told them it was still out and they preceeded to tell me it was not part of the recall. So now my headlight is still out and i have nobody to help me address this issue. It is a safety issue. I have to drive with the high beam lights on just to be able to see at night.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact received a notification for recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control). However, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Small stream of white smoke began to emit from the steering column, suddenly the chime went on and the power steering failed.drove vehicle to dealership who advised me the issue is a common electrical failure in g6 models and that several other years have been recalled for the same issue, but not 2007.dealer advised me to hold on to the receipt for reimbursement in the event that gm does recall the 2007 model.after waiting nearly two years, i decided to issue a letter to gm requesting reimbursement.on 2/6/14 i was contacted by gm customer service representatives who explained a recall was not in place and therefore they would not reimburse.i was further advised by gm representative 'joseph' that gm is "not a charity" and that i would just have to "deal with it."in a final effort to resolve the issue i requested a voucher toward a new gm purchase instead of reimbursement as sign of good-faith that gm would stand behind their products; this request was also denied.gm representatives also refused to issue me a written explanation of denial.i am able to provide a copy of the service invoice and proof of ownership at the time of the incident.
The car will intermittently loose the power steering. Usually when you first started it but at time while driving at any speed. If you stopped and restarted the car the power steering might start working. We spend over $2,500 to get this repaired and our dealership is claiming that there is no recall on the power steering. I currently have all the invoice of what they repaired or replaced.
Front driver side low beam headlight keeps blowing out.
Brake lights stay on even with no pressure on the brake pedal.the cruise will not stay engaged when this happens.people following me have told me i should not ride my brake as they can't tell when i am going to stop.the brake lights staying on is intermittent, it can happen with the car in park and at various speeds. This is a safety concern.my research has identified that there has been many complaints for this and that a recall is available for 2005 & 2006, our 2007 has the same problem and needs to be included in the recall.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and i am having issues with the brake lights malfunctioning.the brake lights will come on when i am not pressing down the brakes and when i do press on the brakes the brake lights go off.i have also had trouble shifting out of park.i understand there is a investigation going on that may possibly result in a recall.i just wanted to put my complaint in because i feel this is a huge safety hazard.also i see alot of other people have complained about this as well.thanks.
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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that there had been multiple failures with the repairs from the authorized dealer and that the vehicle was sold with a damaged tire. A bolt was in the rear drivers side tire at the time the vehicle was purchased, there was a cracked rim on the front drivers side and the power steering pump failed intermittently. The contact waited two weeks for an inspection of the vehicle to no avail. The contact drove the vehicle from the authorized dealer with the bolt still in the tire. The vehicle was diagnosed by an authorized dealer to replace the power steering pump which was repaired and the failure recurred. The contact had the power steering pump replaced twice by an independent mechanic and the failure recurred. The sunroof had a leaked intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer who stated the sunroof was repaired and upon inspection by another dealer it was found that there was no lining on the sunroof and a wrench was stuck in the top of the sunroof framing. The leak had damaged the electrical function of the front drivers seat and extensive mold was on all of the seatbelts.the manufacturer was notified of the failures and indicated that the contact was to be included in recalls that have not been sent out. The manufacturer was not able to confirm when the notices would be sent. The multiple failures have not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000. Dyd
March 2008 my car started not responding properly with my throttle pedal position. I took it to 2 car dealers under warranty to have it repaired. While in stop and go traffic the car will accelerate on it's own. It has traveled in excess of 35 mph on it's own - i usually shift the car to nuetral to get it to stop. As of july 1 / 2008 the dealer has all but given up repairing this problem. I now have parked the car because it is unsafe to drive and hired a attorny to fight gm to repair or refund my money for this car.
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.
Our pontiac g6 hardtop convertible caught fire without any notice.the car had been previously driven at 75 mph for an hour an and a half.it sat for 5 hours and then when we were driving at 10 mph, it suddenly caught fire.
On my way into work this morning, the warning for "power steering" flashed on my car and the steering suddenly quit working on my 2007 pontiac g6. I was going about 40 mph on a straight stretch through town. Luckily, i hadn't merged to get on the interstate yet. Took the car to the nearest dealership and they informed me it's the torque sensor on the electric power steering. They also stated that there was a recall for 2006-2007 pontiac g6's, but that my car/vin was not covered under this recall as it was built outside of the batch of cars the recall covered. I have to pay $230 out of pocket until they decide that this is an issue. This is clearly a manufacturing issue and could be very dangerous for all drivers on the highway. See recall details below: recall subject : sudden loss of electric power steering , 1 investigation(s)report receipt date: feb 04, 2015nhtsa campaign number: 15v064000component(s): steeringpotential number of units affected: 69,633manufacturer: general motors llc.
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.
I bought this car used, and have since had nothing but electrical problems with it.i had the wiring housing for my headlight replaced and still have issues.my brake lights?where do i start?i have had the brake light switch replaced at least twice and they still do not work right.they work in reverse most of the time.the brake lights stay on while i'm driving, and when i stop they turn off, or they just go on and off at will.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the headlights were flickering and the passenger side air bag light and all lights on the instrument panel were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local shop who stated that there was an electrical short. The manufacturer was contacted and they said that they were unable to help because the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 57,642.
I was pulling into my driveway and before i put my car in park it died. After i placed it in park and began to get me and my children out it started rolling away. Brakes wasn't stopping it but emergency brake did. Mow my car wont start at all.
Started my car and the steering wheel is locked. I cannot turn. I have turned the car on and off several times to no avail.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that he noticed that the adelco battery was weak and decided to have it evaluated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the dealer stated that some of the wires were melted and corrosion was also present. In addition, the dealer located a hole in the fuse box and damage existed on various other electrical components. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.
I have a problem that intermittently affects different aspects of the vehicle.the brakes lights will not operate properly.when the issues occurs the vehicle is very difficult to shift out of park.the brake lights will all be on with no pressure on the brake pedal.when the brake pedal is depressed the brake lights will go out.basically working in reverse.when pressure is applied to the gas pedal the brake lights will come back on.the cruise control will not operate when the issue is occurring.sometimes the issue can be resolved by stopping the vehicle, turn off the vehicle and restart.the issue will also just begin while the vehicle is in motion and may just as suddenly quit while the vehicle is in motion.there are no warning lights on the dash to indicate the issue is occurring.only at night, in a dark environment, are you able to know the issue is occurring because of the ability to see the center brake light is light.during the daylight, or city light environment, the non-functioning cruise is the only indication of the problem.improperly functioning brake lights is a high safety concern for me.when the issue is not occurring all brake lights are working properly as is the cruise control. Internet search indicates this is a common problem with this vehicle.
My steering wheel suddenly gets hard to move. It happens when im on the freeway going 60+ mph and my power steering pump just completely goves out. I can pull over and turn my car off and back on and it stops doing it til i get back up to the speed limit. I was told by a repair shop that my power steering was covered by a gm recall, and i cant get anyone to find the recall information. My concern is why is it just a few makes recalled if the entire year of that make and model are faulty.
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).
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brake lights randomly illuminated. In addition, when the brake pedal was engaged, the brake light failed to illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear brake lamps needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on two separate occasions, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the body control module and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The failure mileage was 128,000.
Brake lights always appear on when driving, brake lights go off when brake pedal is pressed. Because my vehicle shows that the brake lights are always on it effects my cruise control and it will not engage when driving. I have been pulled over and close calls of being hit because when i am actually braking, it shows i am not so vehicles behind me do not know i am applying the brakes.
The car totally lost electrical power. My wife, daughter and two grand kids (1 & 4 yrs old) were in the car. The power windows had be acting up for a while but on this day all the power went out. After she controlled the car to a stop on the highway and waited 10 minutes it would start again. She then tried to drive back roads home. Only to have it happen multiple times again. Finally we had it towed to the dealer ship. And again they are saying there is no recall on this car. It will now cost us over $500 dollars to fix on top of the $2500 last time. The dealership in the past as been great but in this case have been of no help. Over $3000 dollar out without any compensation from gm or the dealer (betten / baker chevrolet in coopersville, michigan).
Low beam headlights went out at same time, not the bulbs or the anyone of the 3 fuses.wiring harness is corroded. Unusual problem for a 2007 vehicle.
The brake lights on my pontiac g6 2007 do not function correctly. When driving they stay on, when pressing on the brake they go out. My cruise control does not work either. I have changed the brake light sensor five times and it works for a day or so, and goes out again. I have read that other customers have this problem as well. It is very dangerous.

"takata recall" i have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter.the air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly.the ab light continuouslyblanking the words "needs to be serviced" and i've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.
My headlight burned out on the driver's side of the car. I replaced it and it lasted about two weeks and then burned out again. Found the socket melted and burned up real bad. I replaced the headlight socket assembly and it worked for about a month and then would come on only when i slammed the hood(sometimes.) and then stopped working for good. The bright light on the driver's side of the car worked fine up until then, but soon after went out so i replaced that bulb and socket assembly with no result. Neither bright nor dim light works on driver's side. I can't figure it out. No one can tell me why it's doing it, and none of the mechanics i've been to have any idea why the headlights aren't functioning properly(at all.) it's frustrating. It's dangerous. And it has cost me more money than lights should ever cost a person. I haven't driven the car in months because i'm tired of getting pulled over.it sucks and i still am paying on this car and can't even use it.i hate pontiac. Gm needs to shutdown.never been satisfied with a gm vehicle.
2007 pontiac g6 gt-electrical problem.approx. 3 times over the past year my battery has been drained because the radio failed to turn off after the engine was turned off and the key removed.i have now replaced the battery,.
I want to know how to get a letter regarding a recall on my vehicle. I went to pepboys.com and my vehicle was listed as having recalls.
Brake lights come on while driving and turn off when brake is pressed passenger headlight comes on sometimes severe leaking into passenger floor board when rains.
I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since i have had this car i have not had the chance to really enjoy it because i am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and i have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.

I work nights and noticed my tail lamps were really bright when i drove by reflective signs.though i didn't think much at the time this continued.i stopped for gas one morning when i couldn't get my car from park to drive.i really had to mash the brakes down to get from park to drive.i recently was pulled over due to my tail lights not working correctly.the police officer noticed that my tail lights were lit up while driving and would turn off when i came to a stop at the light and when he pulled me over.he didn't ticket me but wanted to let my know about the issue.i looked for recalls and sure enough my 07 g6 was on the recall list but apparently it's vin specific.i even took it to the local gm dealer, kerry chevrolet, and they couldn't find any recalls with my car.the person at the dealer ship gave me gm's number and even they told me i probably shouldn't drive the car.though all my issues are on the recall from the nhtsa campaign number 14v252000 my car is not included in the recall.nor is the transmission cable thing.i won't go into this.this is a problem waiting to happen.gm should make this right and all inclusive for all model years that are affected by this not just vin specific.i've been loyal to you for many years but maybe not for long!
Was a a stop on a 2 way street getting ready to make a left turn and a suv hits us from behind and send me forward with my right arm slamming into dashboard of car with a strained tendon in my shoulder shoulder. Called gm and they state the electrical problem on my car was fixed during our visit for another recall in jan 2014 however we were in an accident for the same issue they said they fixed!
I was driving my car home on dec 11,2019 and i heard a load pop that came from under my dash. Smoke started to fill my car and i was able to pull the car over and see what was going on. Upon further investigation i had noticed all my interior lighting and components had stopped working. I was able to get home safely and when i open my trunk i noticed the fuse box located in the truck and completely burner up. Also the wires that are located under the dash has also caught fire and that is where the smoke was coming from. This is the second time something has happened to this car and both cases have been recalled in the 2006 pontiac g6 sedans. The first case was when my power steering went out and i almost wrecked trying to get the vehicle off the road. Something needs to be done and i want this problem to be looked at. I have spoke to an attorney and he advised me to fill out a report and hopefully i can get this matter taken care of. It's not fair for an individual to buy a car and expect to be safe knowing that they have put cheap parts and faulty wiring in it. Something serious could have happened and my car could have easy fought fire. The estimate for the damage will be about $1000-$1200 dollars and i don't have that kind of money. The power steering problem cost me over $600. I want a reimbursement and i want my car fixed. There is no reason why gm can't fix it for free. It's currently sitting at my mechanics because i can't afford to get it fixed. Please take time and look into this matter i feel that i have been taken advantage of and this should have been recalled when the other cars were.
Brakes, and brake rotors have been replaced numerous times. Too many electrical malfunctions to mention. Today, my wife said her power steering light came on. It scares me that she has to drive my son to school in this car.i have researched this vehicle, and found numerous safety issues with other owners as well. I have contacted the different dealers for help, to no avail. Why isn't there a recall yet?
My passenger side low beams were burning out, i took my vehicle to the dealer in dec (2010), one year later, it's back. I noticed the connection was completely shorted and burnt. Prob won't last much longer.this past aug (2011) my fuel pump started leaking fuel, it was the assembly which had a hairline fracture which was unrepairable, had to replace the complete assembly for $350.for the last couple years my steering does a popping sound and feel when i make slow sharp turns (as in u-turns). The dealer temporary fixed it once, but it returned before i could even forget about it. Their solution was greasing the steering joint.my ac/heating fan was making a ticking sound while it was on a couple years back (around nov 2009), the dealer fixed the ticking but it returned last year. Though it's not as loud or annoying as before i've learned to tune it out, not too fun for my passengers though.

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.
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.
While accelerating, "service traction control" warning lights up and transmission shifts roughly. Warning message usually goes off after a short time or when vehicle is turned off and restarted.
When the car is in park, the brake light will automatically come on after about 3-5 seconds without pressing the pedal.while driving, the brake lights will stay on until application of the brakes.the brake lights will then turn off when the brakes are pressed. On multiple occurrences, i have had other drivers flag me down while on the road to tell me about the problem.this issue is especially dangerous at night since the driver behind you will have no indication you are slowing down since pressing the brake turns off the brake lights.this issue has been going on for over 2 years now and is becoming unsafe to drive.i am constantly worried driving at nights because the risk for being rear ended is very high.i have seen many others having the same issue and request the nhtsa recall this issue before someone gets seriously injured or killed.also, the car gets stuck in park after starting the car.the only way to get the car out of park is to repeatedly press the brake to unlock.

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
When opening a door on the car i gotta hit tap on the ceiling then it will come on. The door locks stay unlocked even at 55 mph. Radio stopped working at 82000 miles then at 86000 the front speakers cut in and out.
A year ago during very hot weather in wi the cruise control would not work.after the heat subsided the cruise control worked again regularly.in the last couple weeks cruise control was not working again.friends following me one day said my brake lights seemed to be on when driving and off when braking.a local mechanic replaced the stop light switch after receiving the code during a diagnostic test.i was informed he could not troubleshoot the cruise control problem and it would need to be seen by a dealer.this is very concerning if other drivers cannot see i'm braking when following.what is being done to remedy this problem that appears to be a nuisance for many others?
I have had to change my driver's side headlight bulb four times in four months. The last one that i had changed blew almost immediately after installation (within three hours).when i took it back to be fixed i was told that the connecter cable has melted because the light gets to hot. Now i have to have that part replaced as well, and i am given no guarantee that it will last either. The worst part is that the dealership wants $55.00 for the part and $143.00 for labor! crazy!
Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.

I cannot remove my key from the ignition in the morning before my car warms up.if i stop to get gas in the morning, i have to leave the key in the ignition because it gets stuck in the key ignition.only after my car warms up will i be able to remove my key.
Headlight wiring harness overheated and melted, causing lamp failure and no low beam headlights.
Low beam head light always burning out! going in for the third time to have replaced within a 2 month period!..updated 06/28/16the low beam headlight light, has since be replaced for the fourth time. The wires melted, which caused the bulb to burn out. Updated 06/29/16.updated 07/14/16.
While the car is stationary or moving the brake lights appear on but once pressure is applied to the brakes they turn off. Basically the opposite way the brake lights should be working.
Intermittent ability to use cruise control. System would randomly not work or deactivate while driving.this problem has been ongoing since purchase.
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.
The brake lamps to illuminate when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, and greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of park.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact's vehicle had been turned off for thirty minutes when she was alerted that it was engulfed in flames.a police report was filed.the fire department extinguished the fire and stated that it was an engine compartment (electrical) fire.she notified general motors and filed a complaint.the fire department chief and the general motors inspector informed her that it was an engine compartment electrical fire.general motors closed the case and stated that they did not find a defect.they stated that the vehicle was not running hot at the time and could not suddenly catch fire.general motors advised her to go to her insurance company.the current and failure mileages were 9,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the gears failed to shift and the cruise control failed to activate. When driving, the power door locks failed to lock and when in park, the power door locks failed to unlock. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred after the vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) and 14v224000 (power train). The approximate failure mileage was 159,004.
The brake lamps may not operate properly because of corrosion in a wiring connector. Corrosion in the connector could cause the brake lamps to illuminate when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, and greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of park.brake lamps that are not operating properly may not warn a driver in a following vehicle of the braking status and could lead to a crash without prior warning.
Brake lights were reported on while i'm not depressing the brake pedal and going off when i press the brakes in.i started having trouble shifting out of park, and my cruise control works intermittently.
My brake lights are getting stuck on. The issue happened a couple of times shortly after i bought the car, but nothing to worry about. Now each time i drive the car, my brake lights are getting stuck on. When i tap the break, the lights turn off all together. I am going to have to get this repaired since i can be ticketed for this, and/or get into an accident. Faulty brake switch? the issue also causes a problem with my cruise control to refuse to engage.
Airbag lamp illuminates while vehicle is in operation. The driver information center displays an airbag malfunction message and has a warning chime. During this time the system is identifying that the airbag system is not operating. The issues seems to be related to the sensor in the front passenger seat. If the vehicle is shut off the error message and indicator lamp go away. This has been happening more frequently over the last year. In addition the driver information center sometimes fails to turn on with the vehicle, making it hard to tell when there is an issue with the vehicle. During this time the information screen/radio are not illuminated. This is corrected by shutting off and restarting the vehicle.
When the brake pedal is not being used, the brake lights will stay on and will turn off when the pedal is depressed. Additionally, car hard to shift out of park, and that cruise control does not engage properly.
Noticed my passenger headlight was out,checked it and wiring connector was burnt.
Cruise control turns off mid driving sometimes, and at times doesn't work at all. Brake lights come on at random times and sometimes stay on while im driving. They turn off when i actually do push the brakes. The problem is constant and has happened many many times.
Brake lights come on randomly and will not always illuminate when pedal is depressed.

Car has caught on fire twice due to power steering hose rubbing and leaking flammable fluidsbrake lights malfunction always....on when accelerating and off when you actually apply brakesair bag lights on and off on and off--malfunctioning all the time.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake system failed. The brake lights failed to illuminate while the brake pedal was engaged. On some occasions, the brake lights remained illuminated when the brake pedal was not engaged. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the repair did not correct the failure. The failure mileage was 77,400.
I was parked in a parking lot and my air bag light came on and it flashes check air bags. And my seat belts won't extend to buckle. Also, under my hood it starts to smoke and there's no leak or anything.
Brake lights go on when pedal is not pressed, goes off when you step on the brake. Also, cruise control shuts off automatically while driving or will not engage at all.
Brake lights stay on . This only happens after the car has been driven 10+ miles.at this point the cruise control disengages and the manual shift feature won't work. I took it to a pontiac dealer (now a buick gmc dealer) 2times and spent $250.00 on repairs with no success. Dealer says he has no idea. This is a serious safety matter.the g6 owners club is getting more and more complaints of this every day.
Upon starting the vehicle the passenger low beam did not illuminate. Changed the bulb, did not help. Checked the wiring and the connection between the bulb and the wiring was melted. Replaced the entire headlight assembly which solved the issue for a month. One of the connections on the female terminal of the wiring harness to the assembly has corroded and causes the light to short. This has made driving difficult if not impossible at night.
Brake lights illuminate while driving and foot is not on the brake, then turn off when the brake is pressed. Sometimes blink first and they illuminate after about a minute. Also sometimes it is difficult to shift out of park. I brought the car in to the gmc dealership once already, the brake lights seemed to work fine for a few months and then the issue started all over again. Have 2nd appointment at the dealership today for the same issue.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 45 mph on icy road conditions, the vehicle stalled without warning. The battery was replaced on three occasions within three years.

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.
2007 pontiac g6 gt. When i am not pressing the brake pedal the lights remain on as if i were braking. When the brakes are depressed, the lights turn off. Condition has been continually occurring and i fear it may present itself one day resulting in an accident.
Brake lights come on for no reason and when pedal is pressed the lights go off.. This is very dangerous and have almost caused 2 accidents in one trip home from work. I have brought car to sts and they replaced the brake pedal position sensor and it still did not correct issue. I see many other owners are dealing with the same issue, and believe this to be a major concern for all.
Cooling fans fuses replaced because it was running hot.it started running hot a few years later and wiring to the cooling fans had to be fixed.check engine light then came on and wouldn't go off and engine module was replaced.check engine light came back on immediately, power steering randomly stopped working but came back, power seats stopped working randomly but started to work again, radio wouldn't go off after taking out the key and opening the door, and now the car will only go in reverse and drive in the manual mode.i'm never buying another gm vehicle!
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.
The car's anti theft system doesn't work properly or regularly, so at times you can start the car right away but other times when the anto theft won't go off you can't start the car for days.

Driving and loss of power steering and eps light and chime.
Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when i was driving and something broke,i think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when i don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when i was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about0 to 40 day ago.

Vehicles brake lights staying on when brakes are not being applied. This issue is on going for over a year and have attempted to have this issue fixed by three different shops even a gm dealer with all saying they can not find an issue. This issue is when the vehicle is in park and when in drive.
Brake lights illuminate without pushing brake pedal. Cruise will not engage. Car fails to come out of park.
While driving on a street and also on the highway my power steering warning will appear on the info display and all my gauges such as gas and speed will fluctuate with the needle constantly going up and down. I can not tell how much gas i have or the speed i am going.the car then seems to become jerky in its movements so i pull over and turn it off and wait a few minutes, but then it continues to happen moments later.i see that there has been a recall for power steering however my vin shows i have no outstanding recalls at this time.
Brake light remain on while driving.when press on brake, brake light goes out.someone can easily hit me in the back due to brake light malfunction.the brake light stays on entire time driving down road.i replaced brake sensor and it did not fix the problem.
I plugged in my phone to charge it like i do all the time a few moments later there was smoke everywhere i unplugged the phone but smoke was still coming out so i went to where the smoke was coming from and all the wiring was burnt and now my locks don't work my alarm is all crazy my top wont work i cant open my trunk is just a mess.
Car wouldnt start thought it was alternator, then tried the battery and found out it was the brake switch. Brake lights stay on while car is driven and turn off when depressed
Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day.lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: stationary, city driving, and highway driving.
One day, without any incident, the brake lights started acting up. When not applying brake, brake lights shine. When i hit the brake, the brake lights turn off. I have had the brake switch replaced and have had dielectric grease put on conductors. The problem went away for a few months and now is back to acting up. I have read many other posts and blogs about said problem and i cannot believe that gm and the nhtsa have not done something for models newer than the 2005 g6. Someone is going to get killed because of this faulty system. I want these problems fixed before someone gets seriously hurt because of the company's negligence.

While driving-the stop lights stay on, when the brakes are applied the lights go out. Have difficulty getting shifter out of park. Also speed control quit working. There is a recall for this problem-number 13036. It covers cars built between may 26. 2004 to jan. 4 2010.[ my car was built may 2007 ]. When i called g. M. Phone-800-553-6000. This is the pontiac number. They said my serial number is not on the list.{ i don't understand }. This car has the exact problem that is addressed in this recall. Problem with the body control module. This is a safety issue--- i have had drivers blowing horns at me when i stop because my brake lights don't come on.--they stay on while driving. Hope you can help me. Thank you.

I have a 2007 pontiac g6 sedan.it has had several electrical issues in the past but they are getting worse.the delay power to the lights and radio do not seem to function properly.the radio is to remain on until the driver door is opened.well it now does not shut off at times.sometimes it will "time out" after the 10 minutes if the ignition is turned off but once i turned off the car, locked the doors and assumed it would time out.the next morning i got in the car and the radio was still playing and the interior dome lights were on.i was amazed the battery wasn't dead.this has been happening more often isquite an annoyance to make sure the power is off when exiting the vehicle.sometimes is requires me to open and shut the door several times to get the delay to cut off.

1. Blower motor for the heating and cooling system stop working, took it back to the dealer as it was still under warranty, but because the blower was working when i took it in the dealer said nothing is wrong..took the car in three times for the same thing...i slowly lost all dial control 1-3 except 4...in 2009 gm recalled 2007 silverado's trucks for same thing the g6 blower motor was doing. Why is gm aloud to cherry pick who gets their car fixed and who doesn't...2. Airbag light come on and says to service air bag, so i call my gm dealer he had no idea of what i was saying. I took a picture when the service air bag light came on , showed the picture to the dealer and because it did not do that while looking at the car, again they say can't see nothing wrong with it...it still happens, and i am very afraid of the air bag issue's. Beginning to think gm dealers are working with gm to avoid repairs, as my car was still under warranty. And because the car does not do it when they look at it , nothing is wrong...don't feel safe, my children are informed, if i get into a car accident they know where to look, and who to go after.. Help !
My 2007 pontiac g6 has repeating brake light illuminating issues. For almost two years the vehicles brake lights illuminate while brake is not applied. The brake lights are on driving at all speeds and actually stop illuminating when brake is applied. This has been happening consistently in warm and cold weather, rainy and dry weather. I have taken the vehicle to the local gm dealership here in cincinnati, oh and was told that they could not get the problem to repeat itself and therefore could not diagnose the vehicles issue. I am extremely concerned for my family's safety and the safety of other drivers on the road. Not only have i experienced this problem but a handful of times i have also seen other 2007 g6 on local roadways with illuminating brake lights during acceleration. Again i am extremely concerned and hope that with your help gm will recognize this issue and attempt to provide me as a owner the steps to ensure safety.thank you
Brake lights sometimes do not work. Other times they are on w/o pressing the brake, then they go off when pressing the brake.
Brake lights, including the third brake light, appear to be illuminating when the brake is not applied and not illuminating when the brake is applied.they appear to be working opposite than intended.also, cruise control disengages intermittently and cannot be reset until after the car is turned off and started again. I have replaced the wiring harness for both headlamps because the connectors overheated and caused headlamps to fail.the brake light may cause me to have an accident and will most certainly cause me to fail the state inspection.i don't understand why a further recall has not been issued other than the 2005 models.obviously the problem is across the entire product line of g6's.
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.
Electrical spasms.all gauges(including speedometer and tac) flake out, bounce around, go to zero.traction control shuts down. Hvac electrical goes out.no way to see out windshield as defrost will not work when this occurs.warning lights come on an off and on again etc.this can occur when driving or stationary, you never know when it will occur.very unsafe and relates very well with recall already made by gm on 05/15/2014 for 2007 g6 but not for my g6???how???i have been fighting this for many years and can't get them to take care of it properly.dealer did actually fix one problem once when the blower fan would come on whenever it felt like it even when the car was off, key out of the ignition, doors locked, and us walking away.needless to say we had a few dead battery instances.actually had a dealer and gm involved.dealer wanted to have a blank check to continue to do diagnostics after having see the problem and extracted 17 error codes from the vehicles computer.they couldn't figure it out, asked gm who had no idea, and wanted me to let them diagnose with no limit.unbelievable.many reports of the same problem can be found on the internet.
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.
The electrical connectors for the headlights (low beam) keep needing to be replaced. This is a common problem among other g6 owners i know.it appears the company used cheaply made parts for this and thus they are corroding and not working properly.huge safety issue if you don't have working lights.
The wiring harness thatthe whole headlight assembly connects to is eroding and causes the headlight to go on and off and my low beam light does not work at all. I cleaned the wiring harness and put electrical grease for the connection to connect better it started to work but then started turning off again and the cable that is the power to the low beam seems to be burning up.

Our pontiac g6 was recalled for electrical issues. The brake lights went on when not braking and wouldn't go on when i braked. Anyway, it was "fixed" on 10/12/14 with the recall .so now the same issue is occurring. We had it fixed 2 times previous to the recall.the problem is this is a serious problem, if their recalled "fix" didn't work, all of the owners are in the same dilemma.

I have once noticed while using the remote start feature that the headlight will get really bright then appear to burn out as the vehicles engine starts. A connector with such high impedance i consider outright dangerous and a potential fire hazard. Not to mention the risk of a serious crash due to a malfunctioning headlight.
I have had many recall problems and the dealer will not fix them
I hate my g6!!!! i am so disappointed and will never buy a pontiac of gm car again. First of all my power steering goes out everytime it rains causing me to have to stop my car in the middle of the road and nearly get into a serious injury accident. Next, my passenger head light has been replaced at least 20 times ive had the entire head light itself replaced ive had wiring replaced and it wont seem to last for more than a month or two... My radio stays on sometimes after i have shut my car off and taken my key out and opened my door, what the heck! and lve had some weird clicking noise i have no idea what it is. And lastly, now everytime i turn on my car my trunk opens up!?! ughhhh!!!!!!!!!
I was driving down the highway with my cruise control on when it randomly turned off. The light was still on that shows that cruise control is ready to be on but it would not come back on and has been on and off since. The cruise control no longer works. My brake lights also have been acting up. While i drive without applying pressure to the brakes, the brake lights are on, but when i go to stop, they turn off.
Power steering keeps making a whinning when vehicle is not turning or in motion. Having continuously fill reservoir with fluid. Causes very hard steering when turning wheels. I ran into my friends vehicle while turning around in my yard from hard to manage the steering. The doors lock and unlock on it's own at any given time. Caused me two occasions of locksmiths to unlock car. Key fob never worked since purchased. 10
Our 2007 pontiac g6 brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is not depressed.once the pedal is pressed the lights go off.we have had the car into the dealership at least 5 times for the same issue and we have replaced the lighting switch once.the shop has told us that they have done everything they can do to fix the issue but the problem still exists.this is extremely dangerous on the highway and we have had people behind us lock up their brakes to avoid rear rending us because they aren't aware that we are actually on the brakes when they are following us.
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.
Brake lights were coming on with out hitting the brakes. I was driving down the highway and people were yelling at me that the brake lights were constantly on. I pulled it into the shop and they were on when they shouldn't be and went off when i hit the brakes. The cruise control will not engage. I have had the brake light switch replaced and it is still doing the same thing.
I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous gm vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my vin number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the vin number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the nhtsa website, the tool says that not all vin numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 pontiac g6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific vin number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for g6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?
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 !!
When making turns there is a loud pop sound coming from the steering column. Also i am having issues with my brake lights coming on while the brake is not compressed and going off while the brake is compressed. It is a huge safety issue. I have almost been rear-ended multiple times due to the fact that the driver behind me does not know i am slowing down.
I was driving my car on my way to work when the power steering message flashed on my radio.i then lost all power steering in my car.i couldn't steer the vehicle even when force was exerted. I ended up having to replace the power steering control module and the steering column. ($1,249) however, it is still hard to steer and i am not satisfied at all with the outcome.this vehicle is dangerous!
The passenger side airbag indicator light will come on. This has been happening since 2011. I believe this has a correlation with the battery because when the indicator light starts to come on every time i'm driving the car, i know the battery will soon die. I have been through three batteries since owning my car (2010). Once i get a new battery, the indicator light will not come on for a while.
Electrical fire in engine compartment once. Repair but car still is not running right has been worked on twice. Does not idle correctly. They can not find the problem. Also when turning right there is a knock in the steering wheel.
While driving my car to work this morningon a city street downtown dallas it went into a flam and start smoking.i had to pull over and dial 911 and they came out and let the fire out the fire department told me to watch the car becuz it can start another firethe sprayed under the hood and in the dash board inside the car. The fire department said it could be some wiring issue but they wasn't sure. So i called and had the car towed to good year. They told me they could look at the car until tomorrow and will call me once they take a look
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 80 mph, the instrument panel lights illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
Brake lights are on while accelerating & go off when braking.
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.
Well one the electrical is so messed up that i have to drive with brights on i keep putting new lights in and nothing works... The last incident i had my 3 boys with me and i went to turn out of gas station and my power steeringcompletely went out and come to find out it uses no power steering fluid and i had a guy tell me it was on recall for those reasons and i still owe on this car and car lot will not help me.
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.
Check engine light randomly comes on and off while other electrical issues occur, i.e. Cruise control and traction control malfunctions.
Drivers side low beam headlight keeps burning out.the electrical wiring appears to get too hot and burns the light bulb out.the socket and the bulb would both need to be replaced because it the socket partially melts.i have replaced the socket and the bulb three times and the same thing keeps happening.
Brake lights worked intermittently. Sometimes when accelerating, the brake lights stay on and when actually braking, the brake lights go off. Sometimes the brake lights just permanently stay on. When the brake lights engage intermittently or permanently, the cruise control disengages. Had the brake pedal switch replaced and re-calibrated on numerous dates at shaheen gm in mount pleasant, mi. November of 2012, returned the vehicle to lunghamer gmc dealership where the car was purchased and had the entire brake sensor system replaced and re-calibrated. One month after the repair, the brake lights began working intermittently again. Took the vehicle to dagwood's in mount pleasant, mi where i was told that the problem was unfixable. Dagwood's claimed that they could replace the switch and re-calibrate again, but that there was no guarantee that the problem would not resume immediately after pulling it off the lot. This is a constant problem, in which i have been pulled over for a couple of times. However, it is not a matter of a simple "fix-it" ticket since there seems to be no possible repair. It is also very dangerous to be driving when the brake lights are not working properly. I have nearly been rear-ended on numerous occasions when i have been braking and the car behind me cannot tell because the brake lights do not go on. I have documentation of all of the times that i have brought the vehicle to the dealership in attempts to remedy this situation.
2007 pontiac g6 v4, turned car on today and warning message says power steering.the power steering is shot, we have done nothing but drive this car responsibly.yesterday it was working fine, this morning it was not- can't imagine having the power steering stop working while driving!!!
My power steering keeps going out while i'm driving and it's affecting my wheels and steering. The car is in motion as this is going on.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed and the brake warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the gear shifter would engage into neutral, park, or drive independently. The failures occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to bay ridge chevrolet (1575 86th street, brooklyn, ny 11228, 718-232-0186) where a diagnostic test located a failure code for the body control module, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The contact stated that the repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.
I noticed that my brake lights will stay on when the brakes are not engaged and when i press down on the brake pedal the brake lights turn off.once i depress the pedal the brake lights will go on again.this will happen on random occasions, sometimes the brake lights work fine and then sometimes they malfunction.i have also noticed that sometimes the cruise control will not engage while other times it will.there have been two occasions where the cruise control disengaged while traveling on the highway.
Takata recall for about a month now my vehicle has been randomly dying.i was on the highway when suddenly everything locked up i couldn't stop, couldn't brake, the engine seized and i was unable to restart the car.the steering wheel was moving in both directions by itself, then locked up.i had to get out and push the car into a safe place and was unable to re-start it.
My passenger side low beam light went out.when i went to replace it, noticed that one side of the connector was melted.went ahead and replaced the bulb anyways, but it will not work.have been pulled over several times.from my research on how to fix this, i have come across countless others encountering the same problem from model years 2005-2009.
The passenger side low beam headlight continuously goes out due to the wiring shorting out. I discovered the burn after replacing the passenger lowbeam bulb several times. The headlight socket has been replaced twice. The wiring has been replaced. The light will work for one day and go right back out due to something burning out the wire. This is a safety issue and has become a common problem amongst the g6 line. A recall and fix should be provided.
First the darn radio stop working off and on after i got it and all the way to now,for as long as i owned it. And then the steering wheel started making popping sounds and now the headlights keeps blowing bulbs because the darn wires are burning.on top of that the manual says that it gets 30 mpg and i only can get up to 23 mpg. If i knew this i would of left that darn car on that lot.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact was driving at approximately 35 mph at night when the radio system volume failed to function with the headlights or parking lights engaged. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and inspected. The contact was able to detect an electrical problem with the headlights. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and repair. The radio system was replaced. However, after the service repair the rear passenger brake light and rear right turn signal failed to operate. The authorized dealer had been notified of the malfunctions. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 36,300.
Power steering gives out randomly. Could be when parking could be when driving. This issue has been recalled on almost every year except this one even though this issue is prevalent amongst all g6 owners.
Headlamp wiring is defective from the factory.headlamp wiring and connectors burn out due to inability to withstand heat generated by normal factory headlamp bulbs.this is a widely known problem.numerous complaints exist on this site, in addition to service bulletins.every mechanic in town, dealership, body shop, etc. Says the same thing."until they issue a recall, there is nothing we can do but keep charging you to fix the connector."i have paid three times to have this issue fixed and my car has 62,000 miles on it. When will someone investigate this and issue a proper recall?it is not safe to have your headlights suddenly go out when driving 75 mph on the interstate in the middle of the night.

Driving along on a dry road when the car started making dinging sounds.the abs and esc dummy lights came on.the radio displayed the following, "esc service requested".the dealership determined that the sensor harness was rubbing against the front axle, which caused the casing to become compromised and short out.this caused both the abs braking system and electronic stability control system to fail.the vehicle at the time was only two weeks old and only had 480 miles on it.the dealership had to order a new wire harness and sensor control modules to replace the faulty ones.

My son was driving at 5 pm in stop and go traffic.he hadbeen cut off by a driver who then slammed on their brakes. (out of town driver) when the car ahead of him stopped my son was driving at approx 30 miles per hour.my son slammed on his brakes with two car lengths ahead of him and the g6 rear ended the car ahead of him.when i was contacted my son reported the car panic brake assist feature did not seem to work. He indicated the car was not stopping despite his hard braking.we have had new brakes installed on this car in february 2014. My concern: a gm recall 13036 was issued and parts were unavailable.to correct this panic assist braking features.the accident took place on 9/3/14 and i received a letter on 9/5/14indicating parts to correct this were available. My son has never had a traffic citation or warning and is now considered responsible for the accident.most likely the car has been totaled.
Electrical spasms.all gauges(including speedometer and tac) flake out, bounce around, go to zero.traction control shuts down. Hvac electrical goes out.no way to see out windshield as defrost will not work when this occurs.warning lights come on an off and on again etc.this can occur when driving or stationary, you never know when it will occur.very unsafe and relates very well with recall already made by gm on 05/15/2014 for 2007 g6 but not for my g6???how???i have been fighting this for many years and can't get them to take care of it properly.dealer did actually fix one problem once when the blower fan would come on whenever it felt like it even when the car was off, key out of the ignition, doors locked, and us walking away.needless to say we had a few dead battery instances.actually had a dealer and gm involved.dealer wanted to have a blank check to continue to do diagnostics after having see the problem and extracted 17 error codes from the vehicles computer.they couldn't figure it out, asked gm who had no idea, and wanted me to let them diagnose with no limit.unbelievable.many reports of the same problem can be found on the internet.
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.
The brake lights fail to operate correctly causing them to go on without braking and are often not illuminated while braking.the brake light failure also causes the stability control to shut off.
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!!!

When traveling at about 25-30 mph 3 beeps were heard and a message on the dash said power steering.right after that there was a total loss of the powersteering.when the car ignition was shut off and the car restarted powersteering was restored for up to 10-20 miles.then the beeps were again heard and message again appeared and the powersteering went out again. On again off again. We had to operate the vehicle in this mode for a number of months.finally it was too dangerous to operate and the vehicle has been parked for 2 months. 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.[xxx], 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 must have the car repaired 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 available 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.request that nhtsa investigate this model year 2007 pontiac g6. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I work nights and noticed my tail lamps were really bright when i drove by reflective signs.though i didn't think much at the time this continued.i stopped for gas one morning when i couldn't get my car from park to drive.i really had to mash the brakes down to get from park to drive.i recently was pulled over due to my tail lights not working correctly.the police officer noticed that my tail lights were lit up while driving and would turn off when i came to a stop at the light and when he pulled me over.he didn't ticket me but wanted to let my know about the issue.i looked for recalls and sure enough my 07 g6 was on the recall list but apparently it's vin specific.i even took it to the local gm dealer, kerry chevrolet, and they couldn't find any recalls with my car.the person at the dealer ship gave me gm's number and even they told me i probably shouldn't drive the car.though all my issues are on the recall from the nhtsa campaign number 14v252000 my car is not included in the recall.nor is the transmission cable thing.i won't go into this.this is a problem waiting to happen.gm should make this right and all inclusive for all model years that are affected by this not just vin specific.i've been loyal to you for many years but maybe not for long!
On the date of the incident, the driver was traveling at approximately 45 mph, at around 2:35 am, on a rural road.the driver swerved to miss a deer, and the electronic stability control performed as designed on the initial swerve.when the driver began to correct the vehicle the electronic stability control off symbol appeared on the dashboard, the esc off displayed on the radio, and a warning chime was heard.due to the system turning off unexpectedly for an unapparent reason, the driver lost control of the vehicle resulting in a crash.the driver suffered a mid-back injury after the accident.the vehicle was declared a total loss by the driver's insurance company.prior to the incident stated above over a period of several months, the traction control system would randomly stop working, with the service tcs message displayed and the tcs off indicator light illuminated on the dashboard..the vehicle would begin to behave as if the tcs was limiting wheel spin including: reducing engine power and applying the brakes.when the vehicle would be turned off for ten seconds and then restarted, the system would not illuminate the tcs off light, and the service tcs message would not be displayed.when taken to a dealership, they stated that, after looking at the components for the tcs system, the components did not show any issues that would make the tcs malfunction.vehicle was not serviced.vehicle was bought in april 2012 with no known issues.
My power steering pump has broke 3times now in a year. My tranction control and electric systems work when they want to
Brake lights come on while traveling down road and go dim when brake is pressed. Hard to shift from park. If baking and turning esc light (electronic stability control) comes on.
My hand hit the key in the ignition switch and the vehicle cut-off(lost all power).i could not accelerate, i had to stop in the middle of the roadway and turn the switch to off and crank the vehicle again. After thinking about it i can recall this happening years ago, i thought nothing of it.

I want to know how to get a letter regarding a recall on my vehicle. I went to pepboys.com and my vehicle was listed as having recalls.
I was driving home going 65 mph down a major highway on a clear warm night. All of a sudden my 2007 pontiac g6 pulled to the right and i couldn't correct it. When the car finally responded, iwas thrown across the highway into the divider cables.my airbags didn't deploy and the entire front end was crushed. Thank goodness i was not around any of the semi-trucksthat came up over the small hill behind me once i limped the car to the side of the road.i had to get the car towed and insurance totalled it out without any testing done. After reading on this site, it's sad to see that i'm not the only one this has happened to.thank god i was not seriously injured.
Tc shuts off. The tail lights quit working. I changed the bulbs with new ones and now the blikers on the drivers side is not working. The tail lights are still not working. Possible short, corroded, or bad connection. I cannot drive this safely during low light conditions.
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 !!
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
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
I do not remember the date or mileage but my car has many problems. The traction light came on, it says traction off. It affects the steering, breaks, it causes fishtailing. I bought this car for safety! the company should replace it or give the owners new cars or a discount on a new vehicle. I am having the traction sensors replaced costing me $400. I was told the timing chain needs to be replaced as well! i was also told it could be a recall but they are trying to charge me $1200 to change it! what do i do? its not my fault it was made with faulty parts
I have had this car since 2009.one of the first problems i noticed was what seemed to be electrical with the lights in the car going dim for a bit, then kicking back in.this only happens every so often.low beam headlight on driver side keeps going out, even when putting a new light in. Passenger side window is the only window that works at all times.all three other windows are inoperable and have been for years.automatic transmission will jerk while shifting gears.feels like i am driving a stick shift vehicle, but this indeed a automatic.this has been going on for several years as well. Back break lights constantly stayed on.they would go off for a few seconds when you press on the breaks and release, but then would come back on right away while accelerating. --this was a recall that has been fixed--
The service esc light came on,brake lights failed along with disabling the stability track, and cruise control.
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.
The traction control light illuminated as off, causing the car to jerk and slow and be difficult to handle, this was intermittent for 1 week, then the abs, airbag and check engine lights would randomly come on and off, in any order, one or two at a time, then off then another one off and on. I had a recall done on the bcm issue last december, yet was told this was a separate issue with the oil control celenoid module and very common in these vehicles, which i am now paying to repair. Regarding the head lamps this has been an issue for the past two years, the bulbs would randomly go off and come back on on either side, i would change the bulb and it would happen again. Today i discovered this was a "service bulletin" and am having it repaired. However, since gm recognizes this is a problem and, has made new part for the issue, i feel this should have been a recall. Both of these issues could have compromised my safety at any time, which is why i feel they should be reported.
Power steering issues and it states it on my radio screen the moment i put it in reverse.also my check engine light keeps coming on,while on i have issues rolling up/down my power windows.
The car totally lost electrical power. My wife, daughter and two grand kids (1 & 4 yrs old) were in the car. The power windows had be acting up for a while but on this day all the power went out. After she controlled the car to a stop on the highway and waited 10 minutes it would start again. She then tried to drive back roads home. Only to have it happen multiple times again. Finally we had it towed to the dealer ship. And again they are saying there is no recall on this car. It will now cost us over $500 dollars to fix on top of the $2500 last time. The dealership in the past as been great but in this case have been of no help. Over $3000 dollar out without any compensation from gm or the dealer (betten / baker chevrolet in coopersville, michigan).

Takata recall, i have a 2007 pontiac g6 base model. It has 110,756 miles and it breaking down badly. The gear shift, transmission and steering wheel control all started to mess up around the same time. My friends father had the same exact car a few years ago and said that they have a transmission problem and to call the dealership and/or the manufacturer to find a solution to my problem.
My vehicle was stationary at a red light waiting to turn left on a city street in park, as i tried shifting gears back to drive the car jerked forward very intensely ' which it has done multiple times before' .before reaching the drive position. It then proceeded forward out of my controlinto the back of a truck linking my front bumper to the hinge on the back of the truck.. In the midst of that i immediately tried shifting into reverse but doing so was very difficult has the car kept pressing forward into the back of the truck, so i put the car in park then back to reverse when it finally shifted into the reverse gear vigorously which then abled be to detach from the truck. I pulled to the nearest parking lot to check the damage, and seen multiple leaks not sure where from.

Returned to car,after leaving the gym, car would not start making loud noise when attempting to start. Triple aaa came attempted to charge battery then change battery still not starting so it was towed to dealer.dealer reported could not get engine to go forward or backwards questioned if warning lights came on or any leaks which there were none, informed i would need new engine and decided to go forward with that. Rebuilt engine put in vehicle, dealer then informed me that car had loss of power no acceleration that the catalytic converter is bad and needs to be replaced, but is under warranty by gm. Now i'm upset that theres been a known problem with the catalytic converter, i was not notified and it cost me an engine.
Vehicle has been sitting since the first of february due to a constant coolant leak. Leak first appeared at bottom corner passenger side of radiator, and within a week had also showed up on bottom corner driver side of radiator. Eventually wound up replacing the overflow reservoir, 3/4" hose tee located directly under overflow, several clamps, transmission cooling lines, installed brand new radiator and oil pressure switch located directly above oil filter. After 10 days with absolutely no leaks, they reappeared in exactly the same locations. Finally traced leak on passenger side to upper corner passenger side of intake manifold gasket, and the driver side leak traces to almost directly at the coolant crossover pipe gasket. Now, i'm again facing another $200 payout to the parts store.! i'm going to make this repair myself, as i have made all repairs for the previous 6 months. My 07 g6 was wonderful for the first 3 years of ownership, but the last 3 years have become nothing more than an absolute nightmare. If i could file for reimbursement for my expenses during this time i have absolutely no doubt that with the prices of parts, current hourly rate charge set at $75-$100 hour, and reimbursement for time spent wasting time going to pick up parts the total would most likely come out to $8000-$9500. I can't even afford to pay for another vehicle, and sadly i also can't afford to continue investing in a vehicle that has become a mechanical monstrosity with an extremely voracious appetite for parts and money.
My g6 sports convertible has a tendency to lock me in the car.. It has a retractable roof and the windows function up and down and inch for security reasons when using the roof.. On such day, i was not using the roof and pulled in my driveway and put it in park and the driver door locked me in... Would not let me open the door .. I turned off the radio thinking it may have something to do with it but didnt.. The only door that would open was the passenger side door.. If that would not have let me out i would have been locked inside my vehicle.. Also, the traction light comes on when i didnt even have it on.. In summer i do not use the traction feature, onlyif it is raining hard. Three times for the light and two times now locking me in.. I contacted a pontiac service rep and he said i probably have a door lock defect. After many attempts once getting out of the car through the passenger side may i note that the key would not even unlock the door.. Makes me feel petrified that i am going to be locked in my car and i am claustrophobic.. Please gm look into this issue.. Thirdly there is a hiss that is coming from the motor and all is fine under the hood, the car is practically new at 22000 miles and these things should not be occuring.. At the time of this incident my car was not in the recall.. Now it is! help!

While driving on the express way, all of a sudden the reduced engine power / service traction control alert comes on..i have an 07 pontic g6 that keeps giving me a "reduced engine power" message, then cuts your power and you can't drive more than about 30 mph. This is so dangerous to have the power go from 70 mph to 30, it keeps doing that. I have replaced the gas peddle ($180) and it still does that, so i am have the throddle body replaced, god knows what that is going to cost me. Is there any recalls on this happening to others? like i said, it is very dangerour when your pulling out in front of cars and it does this.

While driving on highway at 60 mph on highway right line almost at my exit . The gps fell from the window and must of hit the area of the shiftcolumn it didn't come out of drive though.the car shut off.i was able to move over to the shoulder push the flashes and emergency break when the brakes did not work just a large nose steering didn't work well.bringing it to the dealership and have them check the steering column out again.this is the 2nd time the car shut off while drivingi feel this is a part of the original recall in 2015 that listed this make, model and year pontiac g6 2007massachusetts route 2 west leominster. Ma.restarted the car, got to my destination, and drove home that night lower speeds.
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.

Two weeks ago, it became increasingly more difficult to remove my key from the ignition after putting my key into park. At times, it may take up to 5 minutes to remove my key. Within a week, i noticed that it was becoming more difficult to shift from park to reverse. Last sunday, (june 1, 2014) i was at the grocery store, shifted into reverse, then drive. When i put my foot on the gas, it was as if it was in neutral. I had to drive the car home in the manual setting. My husband then test drove the car and noticed the same things. He added that when in drive, it was as if the car was in neutral and it would actually move backwards if on a slanted road or street. My husband drove my car into bradshaw motors, wade hampton, greer, sc the next day, monday, june 2, 2014. They said we need a brand new transmission. With only 50,000 miles on my car, (which i bought new) i became very upset and began to investigate recalls.i found a recall #14v224000 on the www.pontiacproblems,com/recalls/g6/2007 website.i called the 1-800 number and have been getting the run around on the phone sense.
This car is an automatic and when put into drive the engine jumps,when driving the car during first and second gear the car jumps.the engine light is on reads a camshaft sensor malfunction, those were replace and the system reset.once the car is on the road for ten minutes the car begins to do the something. Over and over when the car sits for two or more days the car resets automatically then later while in use does it again.oil change done engine flush done camshaft sensors changed.
Was informed that the catalytic converter was bad and need to be replaced. This was replaced three years ago so i got a second opinion and was given the same diagnostic. Called gm and was told that the recall expired at 120,000 miles. Technically the part on the vehicle doesn't have 120,000 miles on it because it was replaced at 65,000 miles. And i was never sent a recall notice.

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 wereineffective 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.
I have just received my fourth recall notice only on my 2007 pontiac g-6. I have twice spoken with someone about the importance of this matter, and when they thought it may be fixed. I have concerns on this as the car does have to be used on a daily basis, and occasional 350 mile round trip. I am not very dissatisfied with the way this is being handled,i do not want to see another notice of the recall,i want it fixed !!! i would think this time frame should not have to go by when a safety issue is at risk. Safety recall#14152and 13036 i plan to report this issue to whom it concerns.

General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 malibu, 2004-2007 malibu maxx, 2005-2010 pontiac g6, 2007-2010 saturn aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the body control module (bcm) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of park, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of park. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service esc and/or traction control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition.general motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2008 my chevrolet malibu (gmx380) and 2005-2008 my pontiac g6 with 4-speed transmissions (mn5); except for vehicles already repaired under safety recall 12106 12v-460 with labor code v2671 or v2672 and 2007 and some 2008 my saturn aura vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission (me7/mn5). These vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture at any time.
Recently smelled fuel inside car. Problem was a leaking fuel rail, which i was told was very unusual. $500 in repairs. This part is rarely defective , vehicle has 47k miles. Out of warranty, but i am looking for some type of reimbursement due to the serious safety concern of leaking fuel in a hot engine compartment.
I have attempted to speak to the dealer i purchased this car from and have been unsuccessful. I have an engine oil leak, gas leak, and i am not able to turn my wheel left or right as something is and has been going on with my powersteering. I have paid for repairs but have been pushed off and given the run around about all that i have said. My car is and has been unsafe to drive and now i do not know what to do as it has gotten terribly worse. I have been advised that all recalls were done (by the dealer), and other sources have advised me they could not have been done with the problems that i am been having and that i am currently having.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that she noticed orange and red liquid on the floor of her garage. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnose thata gasket attached to the water pump had come in contact with a dex-cool anti-freeze and caused a deterioration of the gasket and the metal. As a result, the water pump had to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The failure and current mileage was 70,000.
Water pump - continuous replacement of water pump about every 2 to 2-1/2 years (after original has quit working) along with thermostat replacement. This process is extremely time consuming and onerous to complete within a typical 8 hour day, along with a fluid drain, flush and replacement with fresh fluid. Also, constant regular replacement of both front hub assemblies, though not quite as time consuming, is still a burdensome issue. Especially as neither the individual front hub assemblies or the water pump is inexpensive. The 3 front hub assemblies - 2 for the front left since april of 2016 & soon to be 2 right front hub assemblies since march of 2016 (both of which locked up or "froze up" therefore not allowing the wheel to turn at all. Both instances of the water pump failure could have resulted in very serious engine damage and/or failure had the problem not been diagnosed promptly. I can ill afford to continue replacement of either part at current prices every couple of years, never mind the inconvenience and loss of usually both class time and availability for work. Problems began march 21, 2013 and continue through today, as i am still assessing how to afford a second much needed hub assembly for the right front of my vehicle. This, along with at least another $500 (minimum) for other parts needed to complete current mechanical issues and needs, is difficult to afford. Especially when all parts that are included in the previous mentioned amount are most definitely necessary to insure the safety of occupants and others who may be around should one or more parts fail while vehicle is in motion.

The catalytic converter was replaced 2 days after purchasing the vehicle. Fast forward to present day and diagnostic test are telling me the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. The vehicle now has 135,000 miles but has had regular oil changes. Spark plugs and the intake cam actuator solenoid were replaced on 8/5/2013 where i was informed that the p0420 code was coming back which is the code for the catalytic converter. I thought the mechanic was just trying to rip me off but the car has no power now and i've gotten several second opinions. Gm says that the recall for this part was at 120,000 miles, however i was never notified of a recall and i've had the car 3 years. They will not honor the recall now.

2007 pontiac g6. Consumer request reimbursement. *tgwthe pulley idler was replaced.
There is a smell, like really dirty socks from the dash. It does not happen every time the car is used. To smell it you have to start the car and it is there.sometimes the heater is on or the air. It also becomes less noticeable with time, up to 10 minutes. It is a very strong smell. I don't believe it is the catalytic converter, which has a different smell like rotten eggs.because it goes away most the time i don't think isa dead mouse or something like that. It is not a dead animal smell.help. You want to jump out of the car the first time you smell it. I do not know if it is a chemical or not but my noise burns a little.

2007 pontiac g6 gt convertible 3.9 v6malfunction of exhaust system behind the catalytic converters causes a loud whistle at 2-3k rpm and reduction in performance and fuel efficiency. This is a known issue and reported on the internet with this particular sport exhaust on this model and engine. It begins at approximately 50k miles. The gm dealer nor pontiac will address and fix. Cost of repair to consumer, $1500.00. Only solution is to replace exhaust assembly from the flex pipe back.
Dropped my car off for service at the dealership and they later called to say the engine had caught fire when they were test driving the car.an inspector from the insurors service bureau determined that a "rodent infestation" was the cause and that a nest had been built in the exhaust header. I have since seen several other owners reporting fires in the engine compartment and believe there might be a design defect that allows animals access to an internal location where engine heat ignites their nesting material.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While the contact was driving approximately between 45 to 50 mph; the "power steering" warning indicator illuminated, followed by a loss of power steering.

The brake lights will turn themselves on intermittently without your foot on the pedal.this happens at all different speeds and even when the car is parked and all passengers have left the vehicle.tapping the brake will turn the lights off but sometimes only for a few seconds.i've tried lubricating the electrical connections on the bcm and i've replaced the brake lights.both fixes only worked temporarily.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights failed and would only illuminate intermittently.

The brake lights turn on when the pedal is not depressed, causing motorists behind me to think i am braking. Also causing the cruise control to not come on when needed. This is a major safety concern and since there is already a recall for this issue with the previous year, the recall should be modified to include the 2007 model year. I have done alot of research and it seems to be a problem with alot of 2007 model year cars.
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.
The brake lights on my car come on when i am not pressing the brake.i can be driving and they will come on by themselves, i can tell because the cruise control will dis engage and will not re engage.it took me a while to isolate the problem to the brakes, i had to have someone follow me in order to tell me when it was happening.it poses a safety risk because, you have you brake lights on all the time so cars behind you don't know when you are actually stopping.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 25 mph with the headlights activated, the driver's side low beam headlight became inoperative. The failure recurred when driving at various speeds. The driver's side headlight bulb had been replaced three times since july of 2012. Recently, the contact noticed that the headlight socket had become completely melted and corroded. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.
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.
The cruise control kicks off for no apparent reason. This happens all the time. We wanted to let you know because we read that the nhtsa is considering a recall on all 05 to 09 models. The turn signals also do not turn off automatically and i've heard this is a fairly common problem on these cars.
Low beam sockets would get extremely hot and ended up warping the original socket had to replace new head light sockets and went thru about 8 headlights atleast until new headlight sockets were replaced.
I was driving through my town and my seatbelt light came on and then the power steering was completely gone.i was the only one in my car.this has been happening for a couple weeks.my shoulder is hurting bad now from this. Very scary for this to happen.
Low beam head light always burning out! going in for the third time to have replaced within a 2 month period!..updated 06/28/16the low beam headlight light, has since be replaced for the fourth time. The wires melted, which caused the bulb to burn out. Updated 06/29/16.updated 07/14/16.
Our 2007 pontiac g6 brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is not depressed.once the pedal is pressed the lights go off.we have had the car into the dealership at least 5 times for the same issue and we have replaced the lighting switch once.the shop has told us that they have done everything they can do to fix the issue but the problem still exists.this is extremely dangerous on the highway and we have had people behind us lock up their brakes to avoid rear rending us because they aren't aware that we are actually on the brakes when they are following us.
2007 pontiac g6 gt convertible. Brake lights stay on until brake pedal is depressed then brake lights go off. I have nearly been rear-ended several times because of this. My vehicles symptoms are identical to the 2005-2006 g6's that had a recall for the problem. Local gm dealer stated my vehicle is not on recall and all repairs will be billed. Contacted gm customer service and was told the same thing.
Driving down i 35 at 75 mph the headlights went out for over 6 minutes.this is the second time this has happened.looking online this is a common occurrence. There are numerous complaints for the same issue.

The contact had not experienced a failure.updated 09/02/14*ljupdated 11/7/2014
Headlight wiring harness overheated and melted, causing lamp failure and no low beam headlights.
My brake lights are getting stuck on. The issue happened a couple of times shortly after i bought the car, but nothing to worry about. Now each time i drive the car, my brake lights are getting stuck on. When i tap the break, the lights turn off all together. I am going to have to get this repaired since i can be ticketed for this, and/or get into an accident. Faulty brake switch? the issue also causes a problem with my cruise control to refuse to engage.
There is a problem with the driver side headlamp. It was out, so i replaced the bulb in june 2015. Two months later, it was out again, so i bought a new bulb, thinking the first was purchased defective. I replaced the bulb for the second time, and about a week later i noticed it was out again. Then began suspecting another problem. I see gm just recalled several additional makes and models for this issue, but the pontiac g6 was not a part of any of the recalls. However, i believe the g6 is a part of this issue and should be added to the recall.
Rear break lights not working,break light lamp switch failure.
Brake lights come on while driving without touching the brake pedal.
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).
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brake lights randomly illuminated. In addition, when the brake pedal was engaged, the brake light failed to illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear brake lamps needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on two separate occasions, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the body control module and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The failure mileage was 128,000.
The traction control light illuminated as off, causing the car to jerk and slow and be difficult to handle, this was intermittent for 1 week, then the abs, airbag and check engine lights would randomly come on and off, in any order, one or two at a time, then off then another one off and on. I had a recall done on the bcm issue last december, yet was told this was a separate issue with the oil control celenoid module and very common in these vehicles, which i am now paying to repair. Regarding the head lamps this has been an issue for the past two years, the bulbs would randomly go off and come back on on either side, i would change the bulb and it would happen again. Today i discovered this was a "service bulletin" and am having it repaired. However, since gm recognizes this is a problem and, has made new part for the issue, i feel this should have been a recall. Both of these issues could have compromised my safety at any time, which is why i feel they should be reported.
When the 2007 pontiac g6 is in drive the brake lights are indicated bright as if the brake pedal is being pressed.when the pedal is not pressed the brake lights are illuminated as if the pedal is being pressed.when the pedal is pressed to apply the brakes the brake lights go from bright to off indicating the brakes are not being applied when, in fact, they are.
I own a pontiac g6 2007 i was having problems with the headlights going out and the wires was burnt and a little bit after that my transmission started to grind and wine while i was driving doing 45mph so i had it towed home and it been there until i can find out if its do to the recall.

Low beam headlights went out at same time, not the bulbs or the anyone of the 3 fuses.wiring harness is corroded. Unusual problem for a 2007 vehicle.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the headlights intermittently failed.

While driving home from work on the interstate my brake lights came on without any application to the brakes and my cruise control dis-engaged. My brake lights remained on all the way home and my cruise control would not work. The next day they were working normal at first and then the same thing happened again.
My passenger side low beam light went out.when i went to replace it, noticed that one side of the connector was melted.went ahead and replaced the bulb anyways, but it will not work.have been pulled over several times.from my research on how to fix this, i have come across countless others encountering the same problem from model years 2005-2009.
10/5/10 i was going to have work done on my pontiac g6 2007 base model, i was following behind my car while i was driving another vehicle and saw that my brake light were on while driving and not when stop. On 10/06/10 i went to a gm dealer and had sensor repair and brakes recalibrated. Tonight 10/22/10 at 9:05pm i was pulled over by and officer who stated he saw my brakes were on while driving and not when stopping. I wanted to be refunded for what i pay to fix it and have gm fixed it free of charge..because it's a safety issue i will have to take it to the dealership monday morning and be charged again....someone needs to contact me and i wanted refunds for me having to take it twice to get fix, refund me for both....
The passenger side low-beam light bulb burned out.replaced and it burned out again within 2 weeks.replaced again and saw that the socket wires and part of the socket where the bulb meets the socket had melted.this is not a standard gm replacement part.i purchases an aftermarket wire harnes/socket for the low-beam.a couple weeks later, it did the same thing.my local authorized gm dealer replaced the wire harness for the whole headlight assembly (not under warranty) but said i would need to replace the whole assembly to fix the low-beam.that part is over $200 so i tried another aftermarket wire harness/socket that had heavier gauge wire.it worked for about 3 months and the bulb has burned out again.keep in mind each time i have purchased the correct light bulbs.i have now been pulled over by police 3 times since this issue began.each time i was given a warning but also each time i had repaired the problem shortly after.i have now spent more than $250 just because the low-beam issue.this is a critical safety component that should be resolved by the manufacturer.the cause behind the melted wire and socket could cause a fire.this electrical problem has cost me money, time and stress.i wish to not own this vehicle anymore.however, i can't have a clear conscience about selling this vehicle to someone and i will not recommend the pontiac g6 to anyone simply because of this critical safety issue.
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.
Last week i was following my son down the highway when i noticed his brake lights were on while driving.i also noticed that when we approached a stop light, his brake lights went off.i have no idea how long he had been driving his vehicle with no brakes lights while braking. Hindsight, most likely, whenhis cruise control stopped working (early summer).he is a college student that attends a university 3 hours from home and travels the interstate frequently. This is an extremely dangerous situation and i find it very negligent thatthere has not been a recall on this faulty sensor. Would any employee of general motors want their child driving a vehicle with no brake lights?please put a recall on these vehicles for this problem.

I was pulled over by good samaritans to let me know my brake lights were on while driving but completely off when in use. After research on internet this is highly common in these cars. I found a fix online until i was pulled over again by good samaritans. I am 7 months pregnant with two small children in this vehicle i have no way to know if they are working or not unless my father does a brake check some days they work some days they don't. This to me is highly dangerous for consumers that don't realize this is a common problem in this vehicle. I called my dealership but they are not quite sure what is wrong with it. Is it going to take a pregnant women to get rear ended or for someone to die before this brake light issue is resolved. This is scary and dangerous.
Had car parked and noticed my brake lights were on. Pressed brake pedal and depressed it and the lights went off only to come back on. Affects my third brake light as well. Happens in the daytime as well as night. Sporadic. Was told my brake lights are on when in motion and turn off when stopped. Worried i might get in an accident or get pulled over.
I have had issues with the driver side low beam headlight burning/shorting out since i bought the car almost 5 years ago. Usually i just replace the bulb and it burns out shortly but then we had it rewired. Worked for a couple months but the whole wiring is messed up again and they want to take the bumper off to see what's wrong. Too expensive for what the car is worth. I searched on some forums and i am not the only person who has had this issue with this car.

Brake lights staying on even without foot on brake and around the same time, not realizing they might be connected, difficulty shifting car out of park. Have made several attempts to get repaired and no one is able to solve the problem. Very frustrating.

Pontiac 2007 g6 sedanproblem brake light on without brake pedal depressed, brake light goes outwhen brake depressed, brake light on 2 to 3 seconds after brake pedal release.
The brake lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 gt do not operate as they should most of the time. The brake lights come on when the car is running even though the brakes are not being applied, then when i do brake the lights turn off(sometimes they will flash and come back on). This has nearly caused me to be rear ended on multiple occasions with cars swerving out of the lane behind me more than once to avoid hitting the car. Also, this being a smaller issue, when the brake lights are on while i am driving i cannot engage the cruise control or if it has been engaged with the brake lights off when they come on they disengage it.
2007 pontiac g6 base model, brake light says on continuously while driving. Goes off when brake pedal depressed ,dealer has looked at car twice problem still not fixed.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6 . On several occasions, the low beam headlights stopped illuminating. The contact replaced the light bulbs multiple times, but the lights continued to burn out. While replacing the bulbs, it was discovered that both light bulb sockets experienced burning and melting.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The brake lamps to illuminate when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, and greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of park.
Brakes lights illuminate when foot off pedal; brakes lights turn off when pushing brake pedal. Noticed issue when first purchased. Dealership installed a new body control module. 2 yeas later issue has returned. I have applied dielectric gel to body control module pins and it appears to operate correctly.
Headlamp wiring is defective from the factory.headlamp wiring and connectors burn out due to inability to withstand heat generated by normal factory headlamp bulbs.this is a widely known problem.numerous complaints exist on this site, in addition to service bulletins.every mechanic in town, dealership, body shop, etc. Says the same thing."until they issue a recall, there is nothing we can do but keep charging you to fix the connector."i have paid three times to have this issue fixed and my car has 62,000 miles on it. When will someone investigate this and issue a proper recall?it is not safe to have your headlights suddenly go out when driving 75 mph on the interstate in the middle of the night.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the passenger side headlights continuously malfunctioned.

The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving with the cruise control activated at 70 mph, the cruise control failed and the exterior brake light was illuminated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed where the failure was located at the brake pedal sensor. The dealer replaced the brake pedal sensor, but the failure was not corrected. The brake light remained illuminated intermittently. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign id number: 09v036000 (exterior lighting: brake lights). The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for further diagnosis. The vehicle was not further repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage was 58,300.
Front drivers side factory headlight (left side) became hazed over when car had low miles and had always been stored inside. Car has always been kept very clean! noticed many other pontiac g6s' having the same exact issue.
The brake pedal vibrates when disengaging the car out of park into drive; sometimes it is difficult to get the shifter out of park. The brake lights are constantly on while the car is moving. Then when the brake pedal is pushed, the brake lights turn off. The cruise control does not work either; i believe because the car thinks the brake pedal is being pushed. Updated 8/22/13 also, the cruise control would not engage. However, the light was on the steering wheel.
I own a 2007 pontiac g6, purchased in november 2008.after several months, i was alerted by another motorist that my vehicle's brake lights were not illuminated when i stepped on the brake but were illuminated when i was accelerating.the problem appears to be intermittent and the dealer claims to not know how to fix the problem.a recall was issued for 2005 and 2006 models (nhtsa campaign 09v036000)but not the 2007 model.this is extremely dangerous to myself and other drivers on the road.

2007 pontiac g6. Consumer writes in regards to gmrecall# 13036.* ldthe consumer is seeking reimbursement.
The brake lights are on when driving and go off when the brake pedal is pressed. This is opposite to how it should be. There was a recall related to this and apparently the recall repair was made. There are no outstanding recalls on this car. But the brake light problem has reappeared so the repair seems ineffective. I entered today's date below since it asks for a date, but this happens every time the car is driven and at all speeds.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the front driver's side headlight stopped illuminating. The contact replaced the bulb herself. The same failure occurred on the front passenger side the following day. The contact again replaced the bulb herself. Approximately two weeks later, both headlights failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop and was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,000. The vin was unavailable.
I have an 07 g6 that is having the same issues with brake lights, cruise, and shifting out of park that the 05-06 g6's are. We've had the brake switch changed twice and it hasn't fixed the problem. Even with the brake switch unplugged the brake lights stay on.
The brake lights on my g6 are operating in reverse. When i accelerate, the brake lights stay on but when i come to a stop, they go off. The issue occurs sporadically. Also, the cruise control will go off for no reason and sometimes it refuses to set. When i called the gm dealership where i bought my car to tell them of the brake problem, the guy in the service department told me he wasn't at all familiar with the problem. This is a dangerous issue and i'm filing this complaint as a last resort.
My driver side headlight keeps going out when i went to change it the harness was melted and almost caught fire...we changed the harness out and it still will not work i am sick of getting pulled over for my light being out..i also have picture of the old harness that was on the car from where i got it from..
I had to replace the passenger low beam headlight back in february 2015 and again in april 2015. The low beam headlight went out again 3 days later. I have since been pulled over for a headlight lamp being out. I keep replacing the low beam headlight but clearly it's not the bulb. I had a 2008 pontiac g6 prior to the 2007 pontiac g6 and it had the same problem with the passenger low beam headlight. I called gm to see about recalls for this issue and was told it was the brake lamp malfunction. I specified that nothing was wrong with my brake lights and they then told me it was still under the recall so they scheduled and appointment with the dealership to have it fixed. Upon arriving home after i left the dealership for this recall and the passenger low beam headlight was still out. I immediately called the dealership back and told them it was still out and they preceeded to tell me it was not part of the recall. So now my headlight is still out and i have nobody to help me address this issue. It is a safety issue. I have to drive with the high beam lights on just to be able to see at night.
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.
While i was driving down road which i had my cruise control, cruise control turned off by itself. Found out that my brakes are staying on and not turning off. They have been staying on or they turn on when i hit gas and turn off when i hit the brake. This has been happening for months!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
I have had to change my driver's side headlight bulb four times in four months. The last one that i had changed blew almost immediately after installation (within three hours).when i took it back to be fixed i was told that the connecter cable has melted because the light gets to hot. Now i have to have that part replaced as well, and i am given no guarantee that it will last either. The worst part is that the dealership wants $55.00 for the part and $143.00 for labor! crazy!
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the rear brake lights illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed. The failure also occurred when driving. The contact personally replaced the brake light sensor on two separate occasions. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was unavailable.
Brake lights remain on, go off when brake pedal depressed.no tail lights.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact was notified by another driver that the exterior brake lights were remaining illuminated while driving.the contact stated that the cruise control would not engage and when parked, he had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to move the gear shifter out of park. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics where the mechanic advised that the brake switch would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 09v036000 (exterior lighting:brake lights) that but was advised by the manufacturer that the recall was only for the 2005-2006 modelg6. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
2007 pontiac g6 (value leader 4 cyl,) brake lights come on while driving and go off when stepping on the brake. Shifting from park difficult at times while stepping on the brake. Brake lights sporadically work properly.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed, but the brake lights failed to illuminate. Also, while driving approximately 60 mph, the brake lights illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed. The failure recurred numerous times intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that the body control module needed to be cleaned. The failure recurred. The vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The brake lights fail to operate correctly causing them to go on without braking and are often not illuminated while braking.the brake light failure also causes the stability control to shut off.
Upon starting the vehicle the passenger low beam did not illuminate. Changed the bulb, did not help. Checked the wiring and the connection between the bulb and the wiring was melted. Replaced the entire headlight assembly which solved the issue for a month. One of the connections on the female terminal of the wiring harness to the assembly has corroded and causes the light to short. This has made driving difficult if not impossible at night.
This car was recalled in 2014 for a brake light issue. The brake lights stay on all the time until you apply the brakes. The lights go off when the brakes are applied. Gm supposedly repaired this problem in 2014 but the problem is the same now. My local dealer has told me this is a different issue and it will cost $400.00 to fix it. I have talked to 3 different people with customer service at gm but they will not resolve this problem. I own 5 gm vehicles but will never by another gm product
Brake lights, including the third brake light, appear to be illuminating when the brake is not applied and not illuminating when the brake is applied.they appear to be working opposite than intended.also, cruise control disengages intermittently and cannot be reset until after the car is turned off and started again. I have replaced the wiring harness for both headlamps because the connectors overheated and caused headlamps to fail.the brake light may cause me to have an accident and will most certainly cause me to fail the state inspection.i don't understand why a further recall has not been issued other than the 2005 models.obviously the problem is across the entire product line of g6's.
Brake lights were reported on while i'm not depressing the brake pedal and going off when i press the brakes in.i started having trouble shifting out of park, and my cruise control works intermittently.
Cruise control turns off mid driving sometimes, and at times doesn't work at all. Brake lights come on at random times and sometimes stay on while im driving. They turn off when i actually do push the brakes. The problem is constant and has happened many many times.
Brake lights stay on intermittently when the brake pedal is not depressed, while at the same time the cruise control does not operate. The brake lamp switch was replaced, which did not resolve the problem.
Brake lights were coming on with out hitting the brakes. I was driving down the highway and people were yelling at me that the brake lights were constantly on. I pulled it into the shop and they were on when they shouldn't be and went off when i hit the brakes. The cruise control will not engage. I have had the brake light switch replaced and it is still doing the same thing.
I was getting into my car to drive home and when i put the key into the ignition and turned the car on, i noticed that my rear brake lights were on. I got out of the car to double check if they were really on or not. I then got back into the car and i pressed the brake pedal and the lights turned off. Ever since then, the car goes back and forth with this problem. When i am driving, the lights will come on as i accelerate and then when i press on the brake pedal the lights will come off.
I almost was rear ended due to the fact my brake lights didn't work this is the third time in 2 years i've had this fixed and now the car is out of warranty im still having this same problem. What am i supposed to do its a lease that is unsafe to drive. I pay all this money to a car company and now i cant drive it.
My brake lights stay on while pedal in not pressed and turn off when pressed , i can not find a repair for the problem the pedal positioning sensor has been replaced and it has not fixed the problemthis is a safety concern for me due to the fact that drivers behind me receive no warning of me braking.
When stepping on the brake to engage the car into drive a clicking is heard and then brake goes to floor.brake lighting does not work all the time but is on and off. The was a recall on other g6 vehicles 14v252000 for this issue but the dealer states this vehicle is not included. The other recall is for the same issues.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 45 mph, the headlights stopped illuminating. The contact replaced the bulbs but the failure continued intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and i am having the brake light issue that was recalled on the 2005 model.when i checked into it at a local dealership i was told my car did not fall under the recall because of the year.what can i do.
Recently purchased 2007 pontiac g6. Have been notified by other motorists my brake lights don't work when stopping at an intersection, and then come on when accelerating away.brake lights illuminated when brake pedal is not depressed, and no brake lights when brake pedal is depressed. Happens sporadically. Brake lights have illuminated when running and in park with nobody in the vehicle. I can tell when the brake lights are on during the day if i am on the highway trying to use the cruise control, if it doesn't engage the brake lights are on.at night when there is nobody behind me i can see the bright reflection in my rear view mirror if the brake lights have illuminated on there own. New brake pedal position sensor installed and calibrated at gm dealership 12-29-2010. Currently working properly to the best of my knowledge.
Tc shuts off. The tail lights quit working. I changed the bulbs with new ones and now the blikers on the drivers side is not working. The tail lights are still not working. Possible short, corroded, or bad connection. I cannot drive this safely during low light conditions.
Replace the bulb but keep shortage out with the wiring burning. I don't know why but this the third time or more lost count. The most recently is 2/28/2015. I have to buy a whole headlamp because the wiring is burnt. I can take a picture of it you would like me too. Also, i don't want to get a ticket because i have a headlamp out.
Brake lights stay on while i am driving but go off when i press the brake pedal. Then brake lights turn back on after about 10-15 seconds.
The headlights have a known wiring issue. There have been reports of people that have taken thier cars to be repaired and then the same problem still exist shortly afterwards again. I am now going through this problem my mechanic was having issues finding the part. From what i have read the covering that goes over the wiring gets overheated and ends up melting the wire. This is clearly a manufactor problem and gm should be covering the expense to get this fix.
When i start the car the brake lights come on and stay on most of the time, without touching the brake pedal. When i do touch the pedal they go out. Also the cruse control stopped working about the same time. I had a mechanic look at it but he couldn't find the problem. I will get a hold of g.m. And try to find the problem. I'm afraid to drive it the way the stop lights work-backwards-.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while decelerating, the brake lights failed to illuminate and erroneously illuminated while the brake pedal was not depressed. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
Our 2007 g6 has a safety problem that results in the brake lights being on when the brakes are not applied and off when you apply the brakes. We have also experienced cruise control drop out at speed several times as well as difficulties shifting into drive unless extreme pressure is applied to the brake pedal. All three of these concerns line up with nhtsa campaign id number 09v036000 however our vehicle was built after the recall period. Gm has been notified of the concern but reports that there are not recall notices or service bulletins for this vehicle. All three symptoms indicate that the recalled connector sited in 09v03600 continues to be a safety concern for vehicles manufactured after the recall period of 2005-2006. Related to, but witnessed before, the brake light problems on our vehicle i followed a g6 on i75 north of auburn hills mi that had it's brake lights illuminated while at speed but they turned off when the driver slowed due to traffic. This is a concerning safety problem that must be addressed.
Driving along at dusk and noticed that the chmsl was lit in the rear-view mirror. Stepped on brake pedal and chmsl went out. Drove another 200 feet and light went back on. Repeated sequence several times. Brake lights stay on and then go out when brake pedal is pushed.
I purchased a brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in 2008.the passenger side airbag light is always on.i had to replace the brake pads at 20,000 miles and the brakes are still giving me problems.when i turn the steering wheel, the car makes a crackling, loud sound.the headlight plugger had to be replaced due to them being burned out.i am very unhappy with this car.i am a single mother and i am sorry i did not research this car beforehand.i would not recommend this car to anyone.i took the car to the dealer and the price they will charge to fix everything is too expensive for me.
I work nights and noticed my tail lamps were really bright when i drove by reflective signs.though i didn't think much at the time this continued.i stopped for gas one morning when i couldn't get my car from park to drive.i really had to mash the brakes down to get from park to drive.i recently was pulled over due to my tail lights not working correctly.the police officer noticed that my tail lights were lit up while driving and would turn off when i came to a stop at the light and when he pulled me over.he didn't ticket me but wanted to let my know about the issue.i looked for recalls and sure enough my 07 g6 was on the recall list but apparently it's vin specific.i even took it to the local gm dealer, kerry chevrolet, and they couldn't find any recalls with my car.the person at the dealer ship gave me gm's number and even they told me i probably shouldn't drive the car.though all my issues are on the recall from the nhtsa campaign number 14v252000 my car is not included in the recall.nor is the transmission cable thing.i won't go into this.this is a problem waiting to happen.gm should make this right and all inclusive for all model years that are affected by this not just vin specific.i've been loyal to you for many years but maybe not for long!
Brake lights stay on even with no pressure on the brake pedal.the cruise will not stay engaged when this happens.people following me have told me i should not ride my brake as they can't tell when i am going to stop.the brake lights staying on is intermittent, it can happen with the car in park and at various speeds. This is a safety concern.my research has identified that there has been many complaints for this and that a recall is available for 2005 & 2006, our 2007 has the same problem and needs to be included in the recall.
Driving on thehighway with the cruise on. The cruise control shut off and brake lights were illuminated withouth depressing the brake pedal. When the brake pedal was engaged the brake lights turned off. I have replaced the brake light switrch, fuses, added dieelectric grease to the nodes, removed the battery to reset the computer system. The problem will be fixed temporarily and then start again. This is incredibly unsafe. Please extend the recall to models newer than 2005. This is obviously a major issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt. Gm need to fix this issue with their vehicles.
Brake lights are on while car is in motion or parked.brake lights go off when brake pedal is pushed.
2007 pontiac g6 brake lights stay on constantly whether the petal is pushed or not.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the head lights did not illuminate. The contact indicated that while changing the light bulbs she discovered that wires attached to the light bulb connector harness were melted. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired by an independent mechanic, who replaced the bulb connector harness. The contact indicated that the defect reoccurred approximately two weeks later. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 59,000.
When pressing the brakes in the car the brake lights would go off. Not notifying the vehicles behind me that i am stopping. When brakes is released the brake lights in the back of the car would then come on.
I own a 2007 pontiac g6. The brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not even touched. When i do apply the brake, the brake light shuts off. This has caused several "close calls" during highway driving. I am aware that there was a recall for this exact problem on the 2005and 2006 pontiac g6's, which was diagnosed as corrosion in a wiring connector problem. Perhaps some of these bad wiring connectors were used in the 2007 cars. I contacted gm and got the "party line""sorry but your year 2007 is not included in the recall" even though the problem is exactly the same as the recalled 2005's and 2006's. Will it take a terrible accident to acknowledge thatthere is a serious problem here??????????
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving various speeds and depressing the brakes, the brake light failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the failure was a recurring problem. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the vehicle was repaired with dielectric grease. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
My brake lights do not aluminate, other vehicles are unaware when my vehicle is slowing down or stopped in traffic.
Brake lights come on while traveling down road and go dim when brake is pressed. Hard to shift from park. If baking and turning esc light (electronic stability control) comes on.
A couple of times this past year after my vehicle hit 75k miles, my steering has locked up causing me to have to pull on the wheel very hard just to make the turn which a bit of a concern. Thankfully no accident resulting from this. I have not had this problem in the last couple of months. However i have also had an issue with the brake lights. A friend who was following me advised that my brake lights were turning on even when i wasn't braking. Additionally, in july of 2013 (my vehicle was at about 70k miles) we began smelling gasoline coming from the vehicle. We took it to get the car repaired and the mechanic identified that my fuel pump was leaking gasoline and had to be completely replaced which cost about $1000. My check engine light has now come on again and i am taking it this week to get it inspected. The car jerks when moving it from park into gear, and when driving the timing seems to be off when accelerating.
Brake lights sometimes do not work. Other times they are on w/o pressing the brake, then they go off when pressing the brake.
Brake lights stay on while driving and go off when stopping. I have almost been in several accidents from behind. Other drivers have told me about this and i let them know i know. It has been looked at twice at a delaership and "fixed" but then begins again within the week. I do not want to get killed due to this faulty system but do not know what else to do.
The brake lights on my pontiac g6 switched. When brake is applied, the brake lights are off. When the brake pedal is released, the brake lights are on.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated when driving andthe brake pedal was engaged the brake light stayed on and at times it would not illuminate at all.the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 72,000.
I own a 2007 pontiac g6.the front driver's side headlight stopped illuminating. I replaced the bulb myself. Approximately two days later the headlight failed. I noticed that the connector had melted. I am not alone with this problem. I checked other websites and have found other pontiac g6 owners with the same problem. One year ago the passenger side connector cable had melted. I re-connected the cable myself. I have not had problems with that side yet. Went to the dealership and they told me that they have not received a recall notice. Please help! this is a safety issue. My daughter drives this car to school and work.
Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day.lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: stationary, city driving, and highway driving.
It is often very hard to shift the car into gear. Sometimes pressing the brake very hard with 2 feet will allow it to shift, other times we have to shut the engine off and on and then press the brake pedal very hard and it will shift. Now the brake lights are not working correctly. They stay on when the brake is not depressed. They sometimes go off when the brake is depressed. This car belongs to my teen daughter. This is a major safety issue.
The headlights keep shorting out have replaced bulbs sockets the go on and off when driving
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the rear brake lights would erroneously remain illuminated until the brakes were applied.the contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer but the dealer advised that the brake control module had become corroded and that there was not a remedy available for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 42,000.updated 12/11/12*ljthe consumer stated the brake lights went off when the brake pedal was pressed and turned on when it isn't. The 2005-2006 recalled for the same issue. The dealer performed the recall. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 12/14/2012
Brake light are on when accelerating and go off when brake pedal is depressed.also, from time to time, you have to depress the brake pedal to the floor to be able to shift out of park.
Brake lights stay on . This only happens after the car has been driven 10+ miles.at this point the cruise control disengages and the manual shift feature won't work. I took it to a pontiac dealer (now a buick gmc dealer) 2times and spent $250.00 on repairs with no success. Dealer says he has no idea. This is a serious safety matter.the g6 owners club is getting more and more complaints of this every day.
Brake lights turn on randomly and stay on while driving. Only turn off when i put on the brakes, causing a major safety concern. Only fix for now is to grease circuit, but i have to keep redoing that every few weeks.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake lights would illuminate even though the brakes were not engaged. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were approximately 81,000.
Brake lights come on while driving and turn off when brake is pressed passenger headlight comes on sometimes severe leaking into passenger floor board when rains.
The electrical connectors for the headlights (low beam) keep needing to be replaced. This is a common problem among other g6 owners i know.it appears the company used cheaply made parts for this and thus they are corroding and not working properly.huge safety issue if you don't have working lights.
I have a 2007 ponitac g6 gt and the brake lights stay on all the time and go out when you press the brake pedal.there is currently a recall for 2005 and 2006 pontiac g6's but mine is a 2007 and doesn't fall under the recall but i'm having the same issues.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and i am having issues with the brake lights malfunctioning.the brake lights will come on when i am not pressing down the brakes and when i do press on the brakes the brake lights go off.i have also had trouble shifting out of park.i understand there is a investigation going on that may possibly result in a recall.i just wanted to put my complaint in because i feel this is a huge safety hazard.also i see alot of other people have complained about this as well.thanks.
Driver's side low beam headlight keeps going out due to faulty socket/wiring.was replaced initially because factory socket melted at bulb contacts.have replaced socket twice now, but if wires are at a certain angle going into the socket, the headlight will go out.problem will usually present itself when turning car on, have to get out and give the headlight assembly a smack to get it to come back on. Also very limited room inside headlight assembly, leaving wiring cramped at an odd angle and in the direct path of the locking mechanism for the access cap.
We have a 2007 pontiac g6 convertible.i was following my spouse home and noticed the brake lights on when he was driving but they went off every time he braked to turn a corner, stop at a light, or slow down when behind another car.i can't believe that there is a recall for only 2005 - 2006 pontiac g6 with this problem but none for 2007 owners.it's obvious the 2007 pontiac g6 owners have the same problem which gm needs to acknowledge and fix (for free.)
I noticed that my brake lights will stay on when the brakes are not engaged and when i press down on the brake pedal the brake lights turn off.once i depress the pedal the brake lights will go on again.this will happen on random occasions, sometimes the brake lights work fine and then sometimes they malfunction.i have also noticed that sometimes the cruise control will not engage while other times it will.there have been two occasions where the cruise control disengaged while traveling on the highway.
This car had a recall for the brake lights randomly coming on and off. I took the car in myself and they lubed up the circuits with dielectric grease. This fixes the problem for a few weeks. I have been fighting this problem for years. This morning i was following my wife and kids and the brakes lights are on when she is going and they go off when she applies the brake. I took it back to the dealership and they tell me my recall has already been fixed. After researching this problem it seems thousands of people have the same problem. My issue is that the dealership doesn't care and someone is going to get seriously hurt. The dealership told me to look on youtube and learn how to grease the electric plug the brake lights are on. This is not fair. This problem has always been on the car and they should fix it.
Brakes lights turn on while accelerating and turn off when brake pedal is depressed. Sometimes have a problem shifting out of park. Cruise control also shuts off randomly.
My brake lights go off when i hit the brakes and when i let off the brakes the lights come on. This is a recall on my car that has been fixed 2 times already. Both times the problem stopped for a few months then came right back. This is a hugh safety concern. I called the dealership and they said its already been fixed and don't want to fix it again. Please help.
My g6 sports convertible has a tendency to lock me in the car.. It has a retractable roof and the windows function up and down and inch for security reasons when using the roof.. On such day, i was not using the roof and pulled in my driveway and put it in park and the driver door locked me in... Would not let me open the door .. I turned off the radio thinking it may have something to do with it but didnt.. The only door that would open was the passenger side door.. If that would not have let me out i would have been locked inside my vehicle.. Also, the traction light comes on when i didnt even have it on.. In summer i do not use the traction feature, onlyif it is raining hard. Three times for the light and two times now locking me in.. I contacted a pontiac service rep and he said i probably have a door lock defect. After many attempts once getting out of the car through the passenger side may i note that the key would not even unlock the door.. Makes me feel petrified that i am going to be locked in my car and i am claustrophobic.. Please gm look into this issue.. Thirdly there is a hiss that is coming from the motor and all is fine under the hood, the car is practically new at 22000 miles and these things should not be occuring.. At the time of this incident my car was not in the recall.. Now it is! help!

Drivers side low beam headlight keeps burning out.the electrical wiring appears to get too hot and burns the light bulb out.the socket and the bulb would both need to be replaced because it the socket partially melts.i have replaced the socket and the bulb three times and the same thing keeps happening.
Exterior brake lights illuminate when not pressing the brake pedal. Exterior brake lights shut off when pressing on the brake pedal.

I was riding down the highway during the daytime a couple of weeks ago and a passenger had realized that both my tail lights weren't turning on when i slowed down to stop. I checked it out later on and turns out that not only do my brakes not work when i slow down, but only when i come to a complete stop do they turn on, and stay on for about 20 secs after i release my foot from the brakes. Night time is worse because my light stays on (as if my foot was already on the brake) until i actually press the brake, then they dim down like how they were suppose to be in the first place and stay dim for about 20 secs. And turn back on as if i was at a stop sign going all the way down the highway.
Vehicles brake lights staying on when brakes are not being applied. This issue is on going for over a year and have attempted to have this issue fixed by three different shops even a gm dealer with all saying they can not find an issue. This issue is when the vehicle is in park and when in drive.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While examining the vehicle the contact noticed that the passenger side head light bulb connector was melted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The current and failure mileages were 64,000.
My 2007 pontiac g6 has repeating brake light illuminating issues.(reverse of normal functioning). For almost two years (2011) the vehicles brake lights illuminate while the brake is not applied. The brake lights are on/illuminated while driving at all speeds and actually stop illuminating when the brake is applied. This has been happening consistently in warm and cold weather, rainy and dry weather. I have taken the vehicle to the local gm dealership here in columbus oh and had the issue repaired costing $100 which solved the problem for approximately 9-12 months (2012). The issue recurred after the repair was no longer covered under the dealerships repair warranty of 12 months or 12,000 miles. In the last 6 months (jan - june 2013) in addition, i have experienced malfunctions with my cruise control,as well as unable to get the car to move from park into any other gear for as much as up to 30 mins, leaving me stuck and stranded, also when applying my foot to the brake pedal it feels like there's no padding or like there's air in the line,as well as a vibration .i am extremely concerned for my family's safety as well as the safety of other drivers as i could be very easily be rear ended at any given moment while driving on the road. I have experienced vehicles running up closely behind me as there was no indication i was slowing. Not only have i experienced this problem,but a handful of times i have also seen other 2007 g6 on local roadways with illuminating brake lights during acceleration. Again i am extremely concerned and hope that with your help gm will recognize and expedite this issue as it is a very serious and urgent matter and attempt to provide me as a owner the steps to ensure safety. Thank you
Brake lights stay on all time, then they go off. Cant even drive it for the past week now because brake lights stay on have taken it into shop including where we bought it ,they dont have any idea whats wrong with it. This has become a very dangerous situation and very frustrating, we are at a stand still with this.
I received a letter from gm stating the body control module may not work properly and cause the brake lights to not function correctly. The lights can either stay on or not come on when the brakes are applied the letter says they will extend warranty coverage but not repair the car unless it actually fails. This is a safety concern and not acceptable. Gm should be made to correct the body control module and recall the vehicles. I cannot see the if the brake lights are functioning from the drivers seat.
What is happening is that whenever i drive, my brake lights are constantly on. Then, when i step on my brakes, the brake lights turn off.because of this, my cruise control is not working.this is very unsafe for drivers following me, especially if i would happen to come to a quick stop if there were to be an emergency. I have looked up ways to fix this problem online, and one of the solutions was to apply a special lubricant to an electrical plug. This solution worked for awhile, but now it is not working anymore.please send out a recall or something to get this fixed! i see g6's all the time while i am driving with this very same problem, and i have read about a lot of people with this same problem online. Thank you for your time!
My headlight burned out on the driver's side of the car. I replaced it and it lasted about two weeks and then burned out again. Found the socket melted and burned up real bad. I replaced the headlight socket assembly and it worked for about a month and then would come on only when i slammed the hood(sometimes.) and then stopped working for good. The bright light on the driver's side of the car worked fine up until then, but soon after went out so i replaced that bulb and socket assembly with no result. Neither bright nor dim light works on driver's side. I can't figure it out. No one can tell me why it's doing it, and none of the mechanics i've been to have any idea why the headlights aren't functioning properly(at all.) it's frustrating. It's dangerous. And it has cost me more money than lights should ever cost a person. I haven't driven the car in months because i'm tired of getting pulled over.it sucks and i still am paying on this car and can't even use it.i hate pontiac. Gm needs to shutdown.never been satisfied with a gm vehicle.
My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this. The brake lights do not work when you press the pedal and turn on without the pedal being pressed. My cruise control no longer works period. A gm technician looked at my car and could not find anything that he could do to fix it. When he used the tech 2 tool, he would try and turn one tail light on and the opposite would turn on instead. Pontiac will not even look at my car at any dealer for free. They want me to pay and maybe get reimbursed for it. I have many issues with my car but this is the worst. My panoramic sun roof leaks and makes a ton of noise while i drive. The sun shade fell off on it as well.
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 fiance 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.
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.
Brake lights are on while accelerating & go off when braking.
First it begin with a clunking sound as i turn my car to the right. Then it begin with my signal light being defected to where it doesn't automatically switch off with turning, and then now it pops up on the display the word power steering, where then the wheel locks up at any given time and speed making it extremely difficultly to manage driving, turning, and switching lanes.
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.

The contact stated that the bulbs were changed three times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlamp module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not diagnosed for the steering issue. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,500. The vin was not available.
The wiring connector for the drivers side low beam h11 headlight has melted and shorted 3 times now, leaving the driver without a drivers side headlighht. Vehicle was using oem part number head lights, of which never burnt out or failed and original headlight housings that it rolled off assembly with. Each time the harness has been replaced by an appropriate harness by a gm certified repair center. I have once noticed while using the remote start feature that the headlight will get really bright then appear to burn out as the vehicles engine starts. A connector with such high impedance i consider outright dangerous and a potential fire hazard. Not to mention the risk of a serious crash due to a malfunctioning headlight.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed.

I bought this car used, and have since had nothing but electrical problems with it.i had the wiring housing for my headlight replaced and still have issues.my brake lights?where do i start?i have had the brake light switch replaced at least twice and they still do not work right.they work in reverse most of the time.the brake lights stay on while i'm driving, and when i stop they turn off, or they just go on and off at will.
Not sure how longthe brakes have been that way .a friend brought to my attention while they were following metried everything fix's it . While stationary everything appears to be normal .but while im in motion the brake light are on withoutany pressure on thebrake pedal .and when pressure is applied the brake light go off. Very scary......
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 45 mph with the headlights activated, the contact noticed that the driver's side headlight failed to illuminate. The contact was able to continue driving. The failure recurred three times and each time, the headlight bulb was replaced.

The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
In mid-july, 2015 one headlight (dim) stopped working and within a few days, the other did also.i replaced both dim headlights on july 18, 2015.within a week, both dim headlights stopped working.i limited my driving to daytime hours as much as possible.on or about december 7, 2015, the high beam light on the driver side went out.i replaced both dim headlights on december 9, 2015 since we had a trip planned that would involve some nighttime driving.the dim light on the driver's side went out within 24 hours and the other dim light went out on monday, december 28, 2015.i have mentioned this problem to two different gm dealerships, both of which advised me to pay to have the car diagnosed.neither of the dealerships seemed concerned that there might be a safety issue and both declined to notify gm of the problem on my behalf.
I live in alaska and i've never gotten a notice and i've been in two collision because of it and i haven't known why. I've had to pay my deductible because of it and numerous damages because of it.
The car's brake light doesn't work properly. The brake light may be on when i'm not pressing the brake, but it may or may not goes off when i press it. My friends drove behind us and he can't judge if i'm braking or not according to the brake light. It would be dangerous when i drive on highway.
Brake lights stay on without pressure being applied to the brake pedal. Brake lights go off when brake pedal is depressed. Brake light malfunction causes the cruise control system to work erratically.
Drivers side low beam headlight socket melted.
My headlights stopped working. We had the light bulb and fuses replaced but it appeared that the cords were corroded and burned. We had to replace the entire headlamp. Once we done that, they lasted about a 9 months to a year before that set went out, replace the head lamp again and still had the same issue.
Brake lights worked intermittently. Sometimes when accelerating, the brake lights stay on and when actually braking, the brake lights go off. Sometimes the brake lights just permanently stay on. When the brake lights engage intermittently or permanently, the cruise control disengages. Had the brake pedal switch replaced and re-calibrated on numerous dates at shaheen gm in mount pleasant, mi. November of 2012, returned the vehicle to lunghamer gmc dealership where the car was purchased and had the entire brake sensor system replaced and re-calibrated. One month after the repair, the brake lights began working intermittently again. Took the vehicle to dagwood's in mount pleasant, mi where i was told that the problem was unfixable. Dagwood's claimed that they could replace the switch and re-calibrate again, but that there was no guarantee that the problem would not resume immediately after pulling it off the lot. This is a constant problem, in which i have been pulled over for a couple of times. However, it is not a matter of a simple "fix-it" ticket since there seems to be no possible repair. It is also very dangerous to be driving when the brake lights are not working properly. I have nearly been rear-ended on numerous occasions when i have been braking and the car behind me cannot tell because the brake lights do not go on. I have documentation of all of the times that i have brought the vehicle to the dealership in attempts to remedy this situation.
Brake lights don't illuminate when applying the brake. Also they illuminate when in park or when pressing the gas. We just bought the car on saturday (9/15/12) and my husband noticed that the brake lights were on the entire time i was driving on the highway. So when we got home, i called the dealership. They told me to bring the car in. We picked it up again on monday night and they said it was fine. Tues, i was stopping at a light and the car behind me skidded to a stop but swerved away from hitting me. The next day i made my husband check the lights, and again the same issue was happening. I emailed the dealership and they said to bring the car in again. So i did and the service guy said there is a problem with this in many g6's. He replaced some brake switch or something and did what was recommended by pontiac but said he wants to keep it overnight and see if it happens again tomorrow. I'm very concerned b/c i have 3 young children who are in the car with me and i'm afraid to drive the car b/c if the brake lights don't illuminate, i will definitely get hit. There is no recall that i can find re: this issue and it looks like there is no fix. I haven't even owned the car a week and i drove it for three days. The shop has had it for 4 days.

A year ago during very hot weather in wi the cruise control would not work.after the heat subsided the cruise control worked again regularly.in the last couple weeks cruise control was not working again.friends following me one day said my brake lights seemed to be on when driving and off when braking.a local mechanic replaced the stop light switch after receiving the code during a diagnostic test.i was informed he could not troubleshoot the cruise control problem and it would need to be seen by a dealer.this is very concerning if other drivers cannot see i'm braking when following.what is being done to remedy this problem that appears to be a nuisance for many others?
Brake lights illuminate while driving and foot is not on the brake, then turn off when the brake is pressed. Sometimes blink first and they illuminate after about a minute. Also sometimes it is difficult to shift out of park. I brought the car in to the gmc dealership once already, the brake lights seemed to work fine for a few months and then the issue started all over again. Have 2nd appointment at the dealership today for the same issue.
When braking, the lights operate incorrectly.when the brakes are depressed, the lights are off and when the brakes are not pressed, the lights are on.also when this occurs, the cruise controls fails to function.also when this occurs, the brake must be depressed aggressively to shift out of park.this are the symptoms similar to service bulletin 10032206 / sb-08-05-22-009a.

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.
When we would try to shift out of park, we couldn't.then we noticed the brake lights were bright, like the brake pedal was depressed. So we depressed the brake pedal and the lights went out.then we push on the brake pedal with alot of force and finally we shifted out of park.we followed the car down the road and the brake light was on and would turn off when the driver applied the brakes.

2007 pontiac g6 gt. When i am not pressing the brake pedal the lights remain on as if i were braking. When the brakes are depressed, the lights turn off. Condition has been continually occurring and i fear it may present itself one day resulting in an accident.
2007 pontiac g6 has problems with the brakes lights not working properly. Same problems as tsb-08-05-009a but, not covered under recall. Hard to shift from park, brake lights working intermittently.
The brake lights on my pontiac g6 2007 do not function correctly. When driving they stay on, when pressing on the brake they go out. My cruise control does not work either. I have changed the brake light sensor five times and it works for a day or so, and goes out again. I have read that other customers have this problem as well. It is very dangerous.
I was preparing to stop at a red light when i noticed the car behind me was not slowing down as much.the other car nearly hit me but managed to pull up beside me to tell me my brake lights were not working.i drove later that night and noticed in my rearview mirror that my lights were on although i was not applying the brake pedal.however, when i did apply the brakes, my lights would turn off.i have taken my car to meineke twice already and they cannot find the cause of the problem.the occurrence of this problem has been about every night that i have driven.i am unable to notice if the problem occurs during the day since i cannot see the back of my car then.i feel very unsafe driving my car because i fear someone will rear end me and it would be my fault because my brake lights do not work properly.it is very unsafe and i do not feel as if i should go pay to get it fixed when i have not done anything to cause whatever the problem may be.i have only had this car for a few months and i am worried i made the wrong choice unless i can get this problem fixed.
I used to work late nights, and while driving home one night i noticed my brake lights were really bright. When i pushed the brake pedal down my brake lights would turn off. I also have problems pulling my car from park to reverse or drive. It makes me really nervous to drive and it seems as though it just keeps getting worse. I don't know what to do or even how to fix it. I really can't find anybody who knows how to fix it. Everything i've looked up is just a temporary fix. It's just extremely frustrating, and i really don't want to end up with a huge ticket or getting into an accident because of it.
My brake lights are not working properly. The brake lights would be on when i didn't use my brakes and when i used the brakes the brake lights went off. Earlier today i was very close to having someone hit me in the back end because of this. I researched this problem out and discovered that many people are having this same problem. It needs to be fixed or someone is going to get seriously hurt.

Front driver side low beam headlight keeps blowing out.
2007 pontiac g6 i've had since 2009. Within the last year or two, the brake lights appear to be on while the brake is not being pressed. Once the brake pedal is pressed, lights go off then take a couple seconds and turn back on. Dangerous for drivers behind since they can't tell when i am actually braking or not. It basically just seems like i am riding the brakes constantly!

The problem was fixed by applying dielectric grease to the c-2 connector, which was the very same fix for the recall.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 sedan. Last year my exterior braike lights were struck on. I had my brack switch replaced and had the bcm reprogrammed. It has not even been a year and now my brake lights are struck on again. When i'm driving the lights are on and when i push on the brake they go off. This a safety hazard and very costly seeming how i have to keep getting this issue fixed. I read on the internet this problem exist for many people. Why haven't this been recalled?

I own a 2007 pontiac g6, purchased in november 2008.after several months, i was alerted by another motorist that my vehicle's brake lights were not illuminated when i stepped on the brake but were illuminated when i was accelerating.the problem appears to be intermittent and the dealer claims to not know how to fix the problem.a recall was issued for 2005 and 2006 models (nhtsa campaign 09v036000)but not the 2007 model.this is extremely dangerous to myself and other drivers on the road.

Our 2007 g6 has a safety problem that results in the brake lights being on when the brakes are not applied and off when you apply the brakes. We have also experienced cruise control drop out at speed several times as well as difficulties shifting into drive unless extreme pressure is applied to the brake pedal. All three of these concerns line up with nhtsa campaign id number 09v036000 however our vehicle was built after the recall period. Gm has been notified of the concern but reports that there are not recall notices or service bulletins for this vehicle. All three symptoms indicate that the recalled connector sited in 09v03600 continues to be a safety concern for vehicles manufactured after the recall period of 2005-2006. Related to, but witnessed before, the brake light problems on our vehicle i followed a g6 on i75 north of auburn hills mi that had it's brake lights illuminated while at speed but they turned off when the driver slowed due to traffic. This is a concerning safety problem that must be addressed.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 i just purchased 6-27-07 i am now at about 17,000 miles and my brake lights are turning on when i do not have my foot on the brake pedal.. And when i actually put my foot on the pedal to stop my brake lights turn off... I have had it @ the dealer once already and they said there nothing wrong.. Last night i almost got into an accident with another vehicle because my brake lights wouldn't come on when i approached an intersection.. I am afraid if i take the car back to the dealer they are still going to find nothing wrong and the next time i am behind the wheel im afraid i am really going to get hit next time. The brakes have been calibrated which was only a temporary fix... 2 different occasions this has happened and is now continuing...

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.

Noticed gasoline smell behind the car and found gas leaking from under the gas tank.this is interesting because i took the car to local gm dealership this weekend on 2/22/14 for service and they indicated that they had found a shorted fuel tank pressure sensor.how is it that they didn't noticed the gas leaking.in reviewing other complaints with the g6, this seems to be a very common issue with this car where there is a plastic line on the fuel pump which develops the leak. Not sure how long this car has been leaking gasoline and we had not noticed it before.
My passenger side low beams were burning out, i took my vehicle to the dealer in dec (2010), one year later, it's back. I noticed the connection was completely shorted and burnt. Prob won't last much longer.this past aug (2011) my fuel pump started leaking fuel, it was the assembly which had a hairline fracture which was unrepairable, had to replace the complete assembly for $350.for the last couple years my steering does a popping sound and feel when i make slow sharp turns (as in u-turns). The dealer temporary fixed it once, but it returned before i could even forget about it. Their solution was greasing the steering joint.my ac/heating fan was making a ticking sound while it was on a couple years back (around nov 2009), the dealer fixed the ticking but it returned last year. Though it's not as loud or annoying as before i've learned to tune it out, not too fun for my passengers though.
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.
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.
Issue.fuel found to be leaking at top of gas tank from fuel pump fuel outlet elbow fitting on fuel pump.leak was such that a strong gas odor could be sensed after car was driven and sitting outside.it was determined that gas was sitting on top of the gas tank.this area is near the rear exhaust pipes.id of fuel pump:info found on fuel pump:upc 15839061 afco
The fuel pump module was leaking fuel.this year was not covered under the recall, but it was the same problem that the other pontiac g6's were having.
Fuel pump leaking gas onto exhaust system and ground.
I have had my pontiac 2007 g6 gt for 2 years & have been very happy with it . Just 2 days ago i started smelling gasoline fumes , but couldn't see any sign of a leak so i took it to my goodyear mechanic & they found a gas leak which would have me replace my whole fuel pump . This problem i guess is common with this type car . My mechanic said he just replaced 2 fuel pumps same model a week ago. I called the dealership to get a estimate on how much & they said that it was still under warranty up to 170,000 miles i have only 80,000 . So i was very happy. Still love my car.
Car started smelling like gasoline around haloween time. Smell just kept getting stronger as time went by. I would have trouble starting the vehicle and now there is gasoline dripping from the tank while the car is parked.
On my 2007 pontiac g6, i had noticed a strong smell of gas during and after operation. This smell would fill the car and my garage when parked. After doing some reading i found that this is common problem with pontiac g6. A plastic line attached to the fuel sending unit/ pump cracks or breaks and leaks fuel ontop of the gas tank and the exhaust lines at the rear of the vehicle. This is a inhalation hazard and fire hazard to any one using the vehicle. When i lowered the gas tank on my car the line was completely broken. The only way to fix this is to replace the entire fuel pump assembly at $281.
My 2007 pontiac g6 is leaking fuel from top side of fuel tank.i presume that the fuel line or pump is leaking because the vehicle does not start on first ignition cycle. The second cycle of the ignition key builds enough fuel pressure to assure a normal start.fuel residue can be seen all around bottom of fuel tank and on the exhaust pipe.
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.
Strong fuel/gas odor coming from car when driving and more so when it is turned off and parked in a garage. This seems to be a potential safety hazard, in that a fire could develop. I have noted that there have been many complaints on this issue. I feel gm should provide a free repair. The car has 58000 miles. Included document does not include my 2007 pontiac g6 and it should.
A couple of times this past year after my vehicle hit 75k miles, my steering has locked up causing me to have to pull on the wheel very hard just to make the turn which a bit of a concern. Thankfully no accident resulting from this. I have not had this problem in the last couple of months. However i have also had an issue with the brake lights. A friend who was following me advised that my brake lights were turning on even when i wasn't braking. Additionally, in july of 2013 (my vehicle was at about 70k miles) we began smelling gasoline coming from the vehicle. We took it to get the car repaired and the mechanic identified that my fuel pump was leaking gasoline and had to be completely replaced which cost about $1000. My check engine light has now come on again and i am taking it this week to get it inspected. The car jerks when moving it from park into gear, and when driving the timing seems to be off when accelerating.
This is another complaint about the defective fuel pump module on my 2007 pontiac g6 whit 50180 miles. Dealer diagnosed problem. Recall needs to be expanded to cover this model also. Numerous gm vehicles with same problem with same part have been recalled. Very dangerous. Can not park car were there is an open flame (water heater, home heater). A lot of gasoline fumes, not good for people with respiratory problems. Some one please help. Gm needs to do the right thing.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6. It has the same fuel problem that the 2007 g5 has, there is a hairline crack in the elbow on the fuel pump & is leaking gas.i don't understand why there is not a recall on this vehicle neither.i need someone to get in contact with me.i am paying out of pocket to have this problem fixed when it should be the manufactures issue. I have read online & there have been several issues with the same vehicle as mine which resulted in the vehicle catching on fire.something needs to be done about this.i live in texas & the temperature here gets very hot, so that doesn't help that i have a gas leak on my vehicle.

Strong odor of gasoline both inside and outside the vehicle. Very noticeable when driving and after exiting the car. Fuel leak traced to a cracked plastic elbow on top of the fuel pump assembly. Had a dealership install a new fuel pump.
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=12371just 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?
While driving there is a bad fuel smell coming from the rear area of the car. The smell was faint in the beginning but the longer i wait to have it fixed the worse it becomes. This is a serious issue that should be recalled by gm the inhalation of gas fumes is not safe but the cost to have this fixed is anywhere from $400 to $1000 depending on where you go to have it fixed. This is a manufacture default and needs serious attention. Please gm give us a break!
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.
Increasingly over the last month there has been a strong smell of gas inside and outside of the car. It's stronger when stationary.one morning the smell had entered our home from the garage which is next to my daughters room. The car hesitates or may not turn over at all when turning the key in the ignition. My vehicle is experiencing the same issue as other vehicles of this type but was not included in the recall. It was also purchased and is still registered in florida. This is a safety hazard created by gm specifications.

My 2007 pontiac g6 smells like gasoline every time i drive it....the dealership will not help me...they said they know what the problem is but they refuse to tell me how to fix it...they said it costs at least $1200. I am disabled i do not have any money to fix this problem....i receive $1064. Per month social security... I know thousands of people have this exact problem yet there is no recall...so, does someone have to die in order to get this gasoline problem repaired?? i'm waiting ....waiting....waiting

2007 g6 convertible smelling fuel upon parking and turning off car, coming from the fuel tank area.
There is a fuel leak coming from the fuel tank.the leak is directly above the exhaust which is very dangerous.i believe it is from a fuel line or the fuel pump.
Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.
Leaking gasoline
Just bought a used 2007 pontiac g6 and in doing so when i drove it then parked a strong smell of gas was coming from right sid, took the car to get a look over, it has a fuel leak. Needs a fuel pump.

There was no incident. I'm just smelling gas and my car isn't starting on the first turn like before. As i was doing my research, i came across the recall on the fuel pump.i also received a notice about a recall 13036 brake lamp malfunction as well as 14152 transmission shift cable fracture.i would like to know what action i need to take. I see the gas issue is a big concern.
The car is leaking from the fuel pump or an area connecting to it. After reading of numerous other complaints online i decided to report this. In the beginning i noticed the smell of gas when driving and parked. At this point it is leaking in both scenarios.
Car smells like gas when driving and when parked. It also smells like gas when it's off.
I noticed a fuel smell from the inside of the car, the car also would not start on first attempt, it almost always started on second attempt, notice fuel dripping from fuel pump/tank/line just in front of passenger side rear tire, i live in las vegas, nv a hot weather state, looked online found a recall regarding this issue in hot weather states with other gm vehicles, took it to the dealer, and they want $984 for parts and labor. Obviously this is a common problem and a recall should address it, it is a very dangerous situation.
In june of 2012, the vehicle did not start properly, it had a long crank. Then i started noticing a fuel smell in my garage after the vehicle was parked. The odor got worse and was apparent when just sitting. I had the vehicle inspected, due the strong odor. The gas tank was dropped and it was determined the plastic part on the fuel pump was cracked. The exact replacement part was unavailble at this time; due to a problem with the part. So the dealership sold my mechanic a more expensive pump, one that included repair for the odometer. At least that is what was explained to me.the total cost was $988.88. I have the cracked fuel pump in my garage. I have contacted gm to no avail.
The car was leaking fuel fumes into the garage. We were having to raise the garage door for fear of a fire or explosion because the fumes were so strong.the car had a very hard time starting after sitting so the entire fuel pump module had to be replaced. The mechanics told us that this seems to be a common problem in these cars.

Notice strong fuel odor. Took car to dealer and was told fuel pump leaking, fuel coming from top of fuel tank and drips on exhaust,needs attention now.this as noted on report from dealer. The nhtsa noted on 2012-09-19 for the 2007 g5 "some of these vehicles have a condition in which the plastic supply or return port on the fuel pump module may crack,which could cause a fuel leak". Gm has notified g5 owners of recall but g6 owners having same problem are not covered. This is a very dangerous and serious condition that is occurring in both models. Gm should included g6 in recall and protect the drivers and passengers that purchased their product.

Fuel smell overwhelming in garage
We have been having trouble with car since we purchased it about a year or two ago we financed our threw browns auto world fayetteville, nc and since then we have trouble with the air bag light randomly coming and shutting off are brakes were put on backwards we also had alot of trouble with acceleration of the car you could only get up to a certain speed of the car before it began to shake, the end result being the camshaft sensor, and brakes. We have also had a situation with the fuel pump which a mechanic said was very weakfrom the begining. We have recieved several recalls on the car but everytime we took it gm motors they looked up the vin and said our was fine but it matched was written on the recalls so my question is where do i go from here? what is my next step?
Strong odor of gasoline after driving the car when parked outside or in a garage. No signs of fuel leaks on the ground. The vehicle has only 65k miles on it. This can pose a danger since many home have the hot water heater in the garage with a pilot light.also this fuel odor is around the exhaust system of the car. Do we have to wait until someone dies or loses their home before gm with take responsibility for poor engineering?
A strong odor of gasoline present when the car is running, being driven and when stopped.fuel leak from around the fuel tank.
My car just out the blue while i was driving stop tryin to pull while i was driving then it started cutting off.
Strong smell of gasoline all the time, we got the in the summer
My car has a strong gas smell on th back passenger side. It's had been going on for almost a year. I'm finally able to have it looked at and hopefully fixed at a local dealership. The smell of gas is so strong it is nauseating and can be smelled several feet away from the car. I'm worried that there is a gas leak and it is the only vehicle i have to transport my three children. I've noticed the smell seems to be worse when parked but gas can be smelt inside the car while driving as well.
I live in arizona, and i was driving and there was a very potent smell of gasoline coming through my a/c vents, very hazardous to my health, also could be a potential fire hazard. I did noticed that this is a common issue in the 2007 pontiac g5.
When i visited a reputable brake shop for a brake check, it was discovered that my vehicle had a gasoline leak near the exhaust pipe.i took my vehicle to another brake shop which dropped my gasoline tank, only to discover that my vehicle had a leaky fuel pump.before this brake shop worked on my vehicle, the mechanic told me that he was almost sure that the fuel pump had been recalled.i proceeded to go to brian harris chevrolet, where the service manager checked my vin number, only to inform me that my vin number did not have a recall on the fuel pump.i was told that general motors would reimburse me for the fuel pump replacement, even if it was not replaced at a dealership, if the fuel pump might be recalled in the future.i went back to the other facility for the fuel pump replacement as a result.i looked on the internet and found out that general motors had recalled pontiac g6's for the model years 2004-2008.my vehicle had been smelling of gasoline for awhile when stationary and i did not know why.my engine light came on about one month prior, where i had a fuel sensor code pulled.about one week later the engine light went off.my leaking fuel pump was only discovered about one month later, only becausei happened to go get my brakes checked.

There is fuel leaking from the top of the fuel tank, and will have to remove the fuel tank to see exactly where the fuel is leaking from. This condition exists when the car is running, parked or driving
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact stated that the vehicle emitted a strong gasoline fuel odor while parked or when being driven. As the contact drove approximately 45 mph, the vehicle caught on fire with the illumination of the check engine and air bag warning lights.the contact was able to exit the vehicle without injury.

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.
6/11/12; when starting auto, long crank, got battery replaced, but noticed afuel smell in the garage. On 7/12/2012, aftercontinued problems with starting car and increased fuel smell in garage, vehicle was taken to hilles union 76 and allowed to sit overnight. It would only have crank problem after sitting for awhile. Mechanic noticed severe fuel odor and requested to drop gas tank due to possible fuel leak. The fuel pump was found to have a crack in the plastic piece in the center. Hilles union 76 ordered the fuel pump from jessup motors in cathedral city, ca. Part was replaced. The cost of replacement & labor was $988.00. I went to the indio gm and spoke with the service managerabout this part. It made no sense that a fuel pump would go out on a vehicle with 45,000 miles on it! he told me, "it was normal". I did not believe that and had full intention of contacting gm with this complaint. So i kept the cracked fuel pump!to this point gm is not agreeing that this vehicle is part of recall, it clearly is.
The car has been leaking engine oil and gas from the beginning and i have gotten no response, feedback. All i have been given was a constant repair list most of wich should have been done. I have had this car checked by several mechanics and they have told me from the beginning that my engine is leaking possible gaskets and leak somewhere in fuel pump. Rhodes auto sales as well as gm has given me a run for my life. Until recently have a friend gave me a carfax on this car that should not have been sold and being told how dangerous it's been for me to drive this car. Not sure of the exact purchase date but these problems have been since the beginning.
2007 g6 4dr is hard to start andgetting progressively harder to start with a strong smell of gas inside and outside vehicle.
Strong gas odor from car while car in running and after car is stopped. Check engine light codep0446 emission system vent solenoid replacement via auto zone code system reader. Gas found sitting on top of gas tank.
Strong fuel smell coming from rear of vehicle. This appears to be related to the plastic elbow gm used in the fuel pump assembly. This is a significant safety hazard. Research shows this is is a known issue with 2007 g5 models and other gm vehicles and have active recalls in place. There are several nhtsa complaints for this problem and same model/year vehicle as mine. Contacted gm and they refuse to take any action at this time. The dealer cost to repair this manufacturer defect is approximately $800.00. This is totally unacceptable that gm is not acknowledging this issue and is refusing to take action. Is this going to remain open until there is a fatality caused by this known issue?
Fuel smell at rear of vehicle near gas tank. Vehicle has 93k miles.
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.
At 67,000 miles during oil change, attendant noticed gas smell and found fuel pump assembly hose coming out of gas tank to be cracked and fuel running down fuel tank next to muffler pipe. Dangerous. Removed fuel tank and upon inspection confirmed problem.had fuel pump assembly replaced at cost of over $800 dollars.outrageous.
The vehicle appears to have the same faulty fuel pump return line found in similar gm vehicles for that year.surprisingly,the g6 was omitted from the recall although the same faulty part poses a potential fire hazard.on 04/04/2015 the vehicle began to leak fuel from the fuel pump line - releasing harmful gasoline vapor into the air that may - given the right conditions - potentially ignite.i brought the vehicle and my consumer concerns to a local gmc dealership and contacted gm directly.unfortunately, gm will not responsibly repair the flawed part at their expense - giving dealerships the leverage to insist that owners pay for gm's flawed fuel/propulsion system that somehow evaded the recall for this vehicle.given the billions of taxpaying dollars that gm was given one would expect more from the automaker.
Recently smelled fuel inside car. Problem was a leaking fuel rail, which i was told was very unusual. $500 in repairs. This part is rarely defective , vehicle has 47k miles. Out of warranty, but i am looking for some type of reimbursement due to the serious safety concern of leaking fuel in a hot engine compartment.
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 wereineffective 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.
Car's key felt stuck one day and made the card do a "hard" start where the ignition didn't kick over right away. Noticed right after ignition problem there was a strong smell of gas once car was shut off. Smell continued to just get stronger and stronger over the course of a week. There is now an intoxicating smell of gas fumes that surround the car when parked. Cannot park in garage any longer in fear that the fumes will ignite with our gas water heater which is also housed in the garage. Three year old daughter feels light headed and nauseated when getting in the car now, and can no longer use it although it is our only vehicle. It goes into the dealership tomorrow despite not having any warranty. Although it has not been confirmed yet, i am sure it is the same problem others are having with the cracked piece above the gas tank. I cannot believe that this has not been a recall yet, because this is a serious matter. I would imagine it is just a matter of time before someone's g6 ignites and causes a huge fire and explosion!
Fuel leaking onto top of gas tank, elbow coming off the fuel pump has developed a pin hole.strong odor of gasoline, car hard to start after sitting any length of time.fuel drips onto exhaust.
The problem is my gas tank. Sometimes the tank shifts where i can barely get the gas nozzle into the gas tank as it is partially blocked.it first happened over a couple of years ago, but then it goes back into place. I used the date of the most recent time i noticed it happened. I figured this was wear and tear, but i'm seeing other complaints that may be related to this.i am seeing complaints of the same car about a strong gas smell, with leaks, though, i have never noticed either one. I, also, saw a 2007 pontiac grand prix recall on a gas tank seal.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact noticed fuel fumes present in the vehicle due to an intermittent leak coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician indicated that the fuel pump neck along with the fuel pipe fractured. The fuel pump needed to be replaced, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that there was a strong fuel odor emitting from outside of the vehicle to the inside. The contact also noticed fuel leaking under the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number:09v419000 ( fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Strong fuel/gas odor coming from car when driving and more so when it is turned off and parked in a garage. This seems to be a potential safety hazard, in that a fire could develop. I have noted that there have been many complaints on this issue. I feel gm should provide a free repair. The car has 58000 miles. Included document does not include my 2007 pontiac g6 and it should.
A few months ago i noticed a strong gas odor in and around my car. Finally after taking it in, the car shop said i had a gas leak and that i needed a new fuel pump high cost me almost $900. There are days when i still smell a faint gas odor while i'm driving. I'm concerned because for my job i do a lot of traveling in my car and i am pregnant and also at times i have my toddler with me for errands. This issue needs to be addressed asap by gm! people's lives are at stake!
Power steering issues,check engine light are still coming on after my mechanic worked on it.now it's saying to check my gas cap as well... I pull over to check it by opening and closing it again and it's fine for about .25-.50 of a mile.
Vehicle has a strong gas smell emitting from the passenger side and rear of the vehicle, regardless of if it is turned on or off.there is no visible leakage but the odor is strong enough to notice anywhere in a 5 foot radius of the vehicle.many similar reports reference a hairline crack that forms over time in the plastic elbow connecting the fuel pump above the gas tank.the repair and replacement costs appear to be between $700 and $900 and the vehicle only has 47,000 miles. This issue is very concerning as i cannot park the car in my garage for fear of the gas smell building up.it seems like a common enough issue in the pontiac g6 that gm should take responsibility for this dangerous flaw in their fuel pump module.
Pontiac g6 fuel leaking and hard to start. I think this is supposed to be covered by gm. It is registered in nevada and i read an article that gm is supposed to replace the fuel pump because of a crack in the fuel pump. My local dealership says this does not cover my vehicle and my vin number is not on the recall list. The fuel module has been replaced once for a leaking fuel smell. I think in 2011. This vehicle has been diagnosed as having a fuel pump leak.
Rpm revs up at 2 going 60 mph..30 mph i have to push on the gas to get the rpm up ... Fuel pump. I see their are recalls for fuel pumps; again not mine..why is gm aloud to cherry pick what cars get recalled? same year, make and models ..i have received two recalls all ready but it does not show recall for my car on your site when i enter the vin #...why is that?
Leaking fuel pump / propulsion system...strong smell of gas inside and outside the vehicle...leaking gas on muffler.
Smelt gasoline around back of car. Happened anytime...parked or running.took to dealership and they said it was leaking on top of gas tank.said it would be around $800 to fix it cause they had to replace the whole tank. My car not under the recall.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that there was a fuel odor and noticed fuel leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous gm vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my vin number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the vin number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the nhtsa website, the tool says that not all vin numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 pontiac g6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific vin number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for g6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?
Strong smell of gasoline from right rear quarter outside of vehicle consistent with many reports online of failed fuel pump/filter module hose fittings/connections mounted into the top of the fuel tank.suspicion is supported by 10% decline in fuel economy.
Strong smell of gasoline, can not park in garage it is so strong
I want to know how to get a letter regarding a recall on my vehicle. I went to pepboys.com and my vehicle was listed as having recalls.

Pontiac g6 2007 90,000 miles fuel system leakstarted smelling fuel fumes, i lifted the car and noticed a leak coming from top of the fuel tankand wasleaking down aft side of fuel tank and onto exhaust pipe; now that has me concerned. I've read plenty of other instances with customers having the same problem. Is there any solution from the manufacturer such as a recall or special fix?
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!!
Leaking gas from top of gas tank on to a hot muffler.after reviewing info there are over 300 similar issues on these cars! why and gm issued recalls on all other models with the same fuel tank designs? please help this is very dangerous.
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 have attempted to speak to the dealer i purchased this car from and have been unsuccessful. I have an engine oil leak, gas leak, and i am not able to turn my wheel left or right as something is and has been going on with my powersteering. I have paid for repairs but have been pushed off and given the run around about all that i have said. My car is and has been unsafe to drive and now i do not know what to do as it has gotten terribly worse. I have been advised that all recalls were done (by the dealer), and other sources have advised me they could not have been done with the problems that i am been having and that i am currently having.
While drive down the street the car was going 45 and just shut off in the middle of traffic. Upon trying to turn the car on after putting it in park the car would not turn back to connect to start back up . Had the car towed to a auto shop and they checked the car out and said that the fuel pump was pumping gasto start up the car.
When opening a door on the car i gotta hit tap on the ceiling then it will come on. The door locks stay unlocked even at 55 mph. Radio stopped working at 82000 miles then at 86000 the front speakers cut in and out.
Drivers side lock indicator broke off with no unusual damage or wear that would.have caused!have seen a lot of g6s like this!
My g6 sports convertible has a tendency to lock me in the car.. It has a retractable roof and the windows function up and down and inch for security reasons when using the roof.. On such day, i was not using the roof and pulled in my driveway and put it in park and the driver door locked me in... Would not let me open the door .. I turned off the radio thinking it may have something to do with it but didnt.. The only door that would open was the passenger side door.. If that would not have let me out i would have been locked inside my vehicle.. Also, the traction light comes on when i didnt even have it on.. In summer i do not use the traction feature, onlyif it is raining hard. Three times for the light and two times now locking me in.. I contacted a pontiac service rep and he said i probably have a door lock defect. After many attempts once getting out of the car through the passenger side may i note that the key would not even unlock the door.. Makes me feel petrified that i am going to be locked in my car and i am claustrophobic.. Please gm look into this issue.. Thirdly there is a hiss that is coming from the motor and all is fine under the hood, the car is practically new at 22000 miles and these things should not be occuring.. At the time of this incident my car was not in the recall.. Now it is! help!

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.
When i put the car in park, the car would still move. When i put the car in parkon a small incline, the car rolled backwards down the incline/hill. The gear shift did not recognize the park gear. It reacted like the car was in neutral. On 10-06-2011, i paid $251.44 to the have the "trans shift cable" replaced, & that fixed the problem.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact received a notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v224000 (power train). However, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I was on may way home from work, the check engine light came on and has remained on,and the transmission all of the sudden wouldn't go in any gear, i couldn't go over 20 mph, i had to pull over turn off the car wait turn it back on put it in drive, then if i would have to stop at a light or stop sign i would give it gas & it wouldn't go, again i had to turn the car off put it in park, then wait turn it on & put it in drive, also if i tried to put the car in reverse it would not go, this caused almost several times of me being "rear ended" even with my hazard lights on.i took it to my mechanic & he said it was caused from the recall (transmission recall) gm had it towed to a dealership, all they keep saying is there is no recall on my car.they said the government puts the vin #'s on for recall, so my question is, how does my car or any car get put on the recall list? when clearly my car is doing exactly what the recall states? gm states that the government is the one to put the "vin" on the recall list.
I used to work late nights, and while driving home one night i noticed my brake lights were really bright. When i pushed the brake pedal down my brake lights would turn off. I also have problems pulling my car from park to reverse or drive. It makes me really nervous to drive and it seems as though it just keeps getting worse. I don't know what to do or even how to fix it. I really can't find anybody who knows how to fix it. Everything i've looked up is just a temporary fix. It's just extremely frustrating, and i really don't want to end up with a huge ticket or getting into an accident because of it.
The shift linkage bushing wears out and pops off while drive cannot put back in park
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While the vehicle was parked with the engine turned off, it began to reverse out of the driveway and rolled into a lake. There were no warning indicators illuminated. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by the police department to the contact's home. Bradley chevrolet of parker (2500 industrial park place, parker, az 85344, (928) 754-0481) was contacted to schedule a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle was not repaired.

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.

After making a right hand turn, speedometer quit working and transmission seemed to be in a stalled state, however it then jerked hard and power resumed. This continued for the next 2 miles until i arrived at my stopping point. Odometer then displayed error.after the car sat for 2.5 hours, i started car to return home. Odometer displayed error, but once i shifted to drive error went away. Drove 3.5 miles, once speed dropped from 30 mph down to 20, transmission went to a stalled state again and then began jerking hard again with power surges.

When the car is in park it can be easily "moved".if you push on the car slightly is moves forward or backward approx. 3-4 inches in either direction.it also seems to slip into gear when accelerating at approx. 30 mph causing a jerking motion.
Vehicle gearshift indicates that it is in park, but it's actually in reverse, luckily it started rolling down a hill before i got out of the car.

I am having the same issue as someone else who posted in may 2011.my husband came home today, parked in our driveway.put the car in park, removed the key opened the door and stood up to get out and nearly got run over when the car rolled backwards and towards are neighbors yard.we were so lucky that the neighborhood kids were not playing down the street or someone could have been killed.the car does not recognize it is in "park."you can move the shifter easily (without out any stops) through 2nd gear all the way through to park.he can manually fix the issue by reaching down and tugging on the shifter rod, but it is only temporary as soon as you start the car back up, and move it, the car doesn't recognize any gear.please help!we just bought this car last summer used from a certified dealership and have had to replace the alternator, a new battery and now this.the worst car we have ever owned.i bought this car to replacemy honda that never had any problems until it was totaled in an accident.
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!!!
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 wereineffective 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.

The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing the same failure as nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated on and off occasionally. Also, the gear shifter would not switch out of the park position. The contact had to detach the battery cable to get the vehicle to go into the park position. The cruise control would not deactivate once the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the failures were a part of an unknown recall. The failure mileage was 1,400.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the gears were intermittently slipping from the gear box. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The contact received a notification for recall nhtsa campaign id number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic and vehicle speed control) and nhtsa campaign id number:14v224000 (power train). However, the parts needed were not available. The dealer was unable to provide a specific date when the parts would become available. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was not available.
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.
The car has hard time getting in to reverse
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while stopped in a parking space, she attempted to shift into park but the gear shifter could not be moved out of drive.

There was recall on this car for transmission cable that caused may have caused the shifter to not properly stay in gear. My car did not have this issue, but the recall was fixed anyways. A year and half after recall was fixed the problem actually happened despite so called being "fixed". I called gm to report this and they stated they could only do something a year after the recall so i am 6 months out of this. Either their fix didn't work or their fixed caused the problem. Either way my car is now completely inoperable and i'm being forced to fix this out of pocket. I'm hoping you can possibly help get gm to actually fix this problem as it has been documented. I can get the copies of recall and it actually being fixed if necessary. How the problem happened: car was parked in park position at a parking lot. Once started, and foot applied to brake pedal, transmission shifter would freely move instead of shifting properly. It would not come out of park. The vehicle had to be towed as it would not be allowed to remain parked.thank you. The car is 2007 pontiac g6 [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle turned off when the steering column was turned completely. This of which put myself, as well as other drivers, in jeopardy. Luckily, this occurred in a parking lot with no other cars around. If this occurred on a highway turn-around or under different circumstances, many people could have been injured or killed.
For awhile now my check engine light has been on and my no traction control light has been blinking so i had a full diagnostic inspection done that read nothing. As a result, i had them do a fuel system cleaning since there is a small jerky feel every time i drive. I also had them do a break fluid exchange but the no traction control light still blinks. Along with that, most times after fueling up my car, my car drives well and just fine but on september 18th, after fueling up, i was turning into traffic proceeding to the farthest lane so that i can turn left into my apartments then pop! and the steering wheel locked and the gear had locked in drive. This scared me so bad so i braked in every way i could hoping i wouldn't crash then tried shifting gears and cranking my car again. I got into the gates and into the parking lot then my car stalled and cut off again. I finally parked my car, popped the hood, and there was nothing wrong that i could see from my view. So, the next day september 19th i drove to class that morning and it stalled a bit any time i increased my speed as if it wanted to cut off. I got into the parking lot of my college and it cuts off as soon as i begin to turn into a parking spot between two cars. I crank it up, complete my park then i go inside for class until lunch. On lunch, i crank up my car and wow the check engine light is finally off but as usual the no traction control light is blinking. I test drive my car to the local winn dixie and back and on the way back pop! then it stalls to cut off but doesn't cut off so i take it back to my college before lunch is over and park it. Now it's the end of the day and i'm out of class and headed home. This time i make it into the gate but i'm getting close to going over a speed bump and pop! it doesn't cut off but it's stalls badly like it wants too so i proceed to drive then park it. Please, help.

I had a recall fixed (i thought) in october 2014 with the transmission cable and bracket. On april 11th 2016 this item failed on my car. I've owned this 2007 g6 for 7 years prior to the recall with no issues. I called the dealer to purchase the connecter that broke and left my car in reverse after backing out of a parking spot turning my wheel to the right. They say i have to buy the whole cable they replaced just one year and 6 months ago. I called the dealer that made the recall repair and they said the repair warranty is only good for a year. In my opinion their fix is more dangerous than the original problem. I can drive it for over seven years with no issues, but the "fix" is only good for a year and a half?i was backing out of a parking spot at a restaurant after taking my daughter to supper. I stopped and put it in drive then when i let off the brake and applied the gas my car stayed in reverse almost hitting the pedestrian that walked behind my car walking to their car. I could not put it in park and was on a slight hill with traffic pulling into the restaurant. I had to apply the emergency brake and try to put it in neutral and push it back into the parking spot. My car almost ran over me because it was locked in reverse. I ended up letting the cars pass me that were trying to turn in to go through the drive thru. I had to back out of the parking lot and into the street in reverse and back it into the exit of the restaurant and park my car in a spot on the other side to get it out of the way and back out of the street. I feel the "recall fix" is more dangerous and not a fix at all. They would not even talk to me about the repair because it was over one year since the recall replacement part was installed. I feel gm has engineered more danger into this and not fixing a problem, but creating revenue for them in more replacement parts and service charges.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle started to hesitate. Additionally, while attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated that the check engine and air bags warning lights were illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. Upon investigation, the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v224000 (power train). The failure mileage was approximately 242,588.
I could not take my car out of park the first time i tried because the button wouldn't press down. I pressed the break harder and the break had a weird moving/vibrating feel, but the button eventually pressed down and the vehicle went into drive.i know i got it to drive, but afraid other things might be affected.
The car has been leaking engine oil and gas from the beginning and i have gotten no response, feedback. All i have been given was a constant repair list most of wich should have been done. I have had this car checked by several mechanics and they have told me from the beginning that my engine is leaking possible gaskets and leak somewhere in fuel pump. Rhodes auto sales as well as gm has given me a run for my life. Until recently have a friend gave me a carfax on this car that should not have been sold and being told how dangerous it's been for me to drive this car. Not sure of the exact purchase date but these problems have been since the beginning.
I have just received my fourth recall notice only on my 2007 pontiac g-6. I have twice spoken with someone about the importance of this matter, and when they thought it may be fixed. I have concerns on this as the car does have to be used on a daily basis, and occasional 350 mile round trip. I am not very dissatisfied with the way this is being handled,i do not want to see another notice of the recall,i want it fixed !!! i would think this time frame should not have to go by when a safety issue is at risk. Safety recall#14152and 13036 i plan to report this issue to whom it concerns.

I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since i have had this car i have not had the chance to really enjoy it because i am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and i have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
I'm on a busy city street and i went to put my vehicle from reverse into drive and i noticed that it wasn't going into gear and when i would accelerate on the gas to make my vehicle go it would just rev up like it wasn't a year and then i would you know take it back to reverse and then back to drive and it would still not go into gear finally after about two or three tries of this it finally got to go into drive and i made it to home the next morning when i went to leave i tried to crank my vehicle and it would not start so a friend of mine pop the hood and he noticed that the thing that puts my car into gear was not attached anymore and that is why my vehicle would not start and i had the problem that i had the night prior.next problem i have is my airbag symbol pops up off and on while i'm driving and we'll stay on for a while and then go off and then it'll come back on about a week later and then it'll go off again and this happens when i'm driving on the highway down the street just randomly.next is my power steering power steering when i start the vehicle and put my car into gear and attempt to turn my wheel to reverse or you know to get out of a parking position my power steering will be really hard really tight i try to turn it and i can't turn it very far because of the pressure behind it i will put my car back into gear turn off the car and turn my steering wheel as much as i can to the left as far as it'll go and then to the right as far as it'll go and then finally it will loosen up so where i can turn my vehicle.

A recall had been done on the gear shift assembly for this vehicle which i had replaced through recall on 12/31/14 however 1 year and 25 days later the gear shift assembly did exactly what the recall was originally designed to fix. I went to park the vehicle and the gear shift slid easily into park but the car kept rolling, not recognizing the gear was placed in park.upon shutting off the car, it would not start again as if it was in gear.the shift slides easily from park all the way down, not recognizing the gears.the problem remains that once the recall was fixed and a year past then the honoring of fixing the problem is not done.

I was on my way home when i continued to pull up into my driveway and tried to put my 2007 pontiac g6 into park, but it would not park. I could continuously move the gear shift back and forth repeatedly and none of the movement would register with the car. My car was stuck in drive. When my car said it was in park on my gear shift, it was still in drive with the computer. If i took my foot of the brake, since i am on a hill, my car rolled backwards. I therefore was forced to use my emergency brake and put bricks behind my tires to keep my car from rolling backwards down my driveway. The next morning i had tried again to see what the issue was and my car would not start. I decided to call my car dealership and had organized to have it towed there. When the tow truck driver arrived, i explained my issue and he immediately knew what was wrong; my car was stuck in drive and you cannot start a vehicle when it is in drive. Under my hood, where my car is in control of going from drive-to-neutral-to-reverse etc. Was disconnected and broken. My car was taken to the dealership where i had explained my issue once more and they took it in and fixed the issue over the course of a few days. I have done many hours of research and discovered this has happened numerous times in various years of this make and model. The shift cable was broken for no reason.

At red light, when light turned green, i stepped on gas and car acted as tho it was in neutral.it will not go except in reverse.i was able to drive it in the manual mode to get closer to home and same thing happened in manual mode in stopped traffic.i've since seen several other complaints on the pontiac g6 owners forum, this is a problem with this year/make/model.i've gotten verbal estimates from a few transmission repair facilities and the cost to repair ranges from $2200-$3400.i cannot afford to fix this, and it's an issue that should be recalled as it has happened to so many other people.just because no one has reportedly died it appears gm won't issue the recall.if this happens to someone on the highway in traffic it could very well cause injuries/fatalities.gm refuses to help when contacted.i need help, this is my only transportation and i could lose my job if i cannot get this fixed soon.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing failures identical to nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000: (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control).while driving various speeds, the brake lights would illuminate and, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights would dim.

Replacement part (cable kit # 23238001) under recall 14152 has subsequently failed and as a result has not remedied the original safety concern which states, "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. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' if the vehicle is not in the "park" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders." the issue is related to a failure of a retaining ring at the engine end of the cable linkage that is to securely attach to a post on the transmission. Vehicle fortunately was on level ground and stationary at the time of discovery. Vehicle would start normally but could not be put in gear due to the issue. Requested dealership to replace under the recall but dealership will not replace since it was already replaced once.
Someone stopped me in traffic to let me know my brake lights were on even though i was accelerating. The problem persisted through numerous repair and continues to be on during the entire ride. Also, it is really hard sometimes to get the gear out of park and into another selection. I have spent almost 1,000 dollars in repairsbut the problem still exist.

I had car in for recall of shift cable in 2014. On august 4 2016 i went to park car and there were no gears, car rolled into a fence before i could get it stopped. I had a mechanic look at car. He found what was wrong, which is part of shift cable that was recalled. I was told the shift cable was not replaced as the parts are original. I have pictures of original part on my car. I would like for the shift cable to be replaced properly but have gotten nowhere with any dealers, including the dealer who supposedly fixed part in 2014. I have been told that because the car was supposedly fixed that i am responsible to fix part on my own. This is an outrage! i will be in contact with a lawyer to sue the dealer and gm if car is not fixed. Thank you

Brake lights illuminate while driving and foot is not on the brake, then turn off when the brake is pressed. Sometimes blink first and they illuminate after about a minute. Also sometimes it is difficult to shift out of park. I brought the car in to the gmc dealership once already, the brake lights seemed to work fine for a few months and then the issue started all over again. Have 2nd appointment at the dealership today for the same issue.
When pulling into a parking lot after an hour long drive, my pontiac g6 gt hardtop convertible made a loud popand then filled with smoke and flames shot out of the hood. Prior to that there was a pop and liquids spilled onto the ground. I jumped out of my car and ran to alert a nearby police officer. We got back to the car in less than a minute and he was able to extinguish the flames. The local fire department was also alerted and they arrived to check the fire. When it was repaired the technician said that it had something to do with transmission, or some fluid, igniting.
Since last year, let's say in spring, i had problems shifting out of park. Doesn't do it every time.later i noticed that my brakelights are always illuminated. Will not change if the brake is pushed. But if i push hard enough on them they turn off all together. When pressed on the brake again they do not light up at all. So after a few seconds the lights all come back on when i am not pressing on the brake. Back to the beginning. Also my cruise control turns off when i'm using it. Sometimes my lights go in and out of climate controls. Now i called gm about the recall on my make/model/year and gave her my vin number. She said i am not currently included on the recall. How is that possible? i need this fixed before i get a ticket or get into an accident!

Brake lights were reported on while i'm not depressing the brake pedal and going off when i press the brakes in.i started having trouble shifting out of park, and my cruise control works intermittently.
Brake lights fail & instrument panel shows trouble. Auto headlights don't go on/offwhen take foot of brake to put in drive or reverse or neutral car jerks badly & acceleration occurs even if idon't push foot pedal. Happens when car is stopped with foot on brake & when trying to park, when at red light stopped w foot on brake & try to put in neutral.foot on brake then when engage any gear car lunges jerks & accelerates severely forward.
Approx. 2+ yrs ago i noticed that wherein pressing on the gas from a dead stop at a light resulted in nothing but high engine revs. After asecond or two the transmission would engage causing the occupants inside to be severely thrown back in their seats. Happens intermittently at any temp and any driving condition. Sometimes it happens a couple of times a day,sometimes it doesn't happen for a couple weeks. Took car in and was told there was no error codes that they couldn't help me unless they could replicate it themselves. Been a few times that i pulled into oncoming traffic into a parking lot or street and had the trans. Hesitate. Not the only one with this problem. Not sure what the exact issue is but i'm not shelling out $4000 for a new trans. On a car that only has 42,000 miles on it. Don't feel safe driving this car sometimes. Especially when it happens on wet or icy roads as the traction control engages and the wheels just spin leaving me stuck in traffic until they find purchase enough to get going. If this vehicle had 95,000-100,000 on the odometer i would get a new trans. But as i stated before with such low miles it shouldn't be happening. Gm needs to be held accountable for this. Also have the brake lights that stay on then turn off when the pedal gets pressed. Fixed that 4 times and it still happens. Don't know if these are related but if its something electrical it could be. Please help me get this rectified

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.

The brake pedal vibrates when disengaging the car out of park into drive; sometimes it is difficult to get the shifter out of park. The brake lights are constantly on while the car is moving. Then when the brake pedal is pushed, the brake lights turn off. The cruise control does not work either; i believe because the car thinks the brake pedal is being pushed. Updated 8/22/13 also, the cruise control would not engage. However, the light was on the steering wheel.

Shudder at light to moderate acceleration
The ignition switch on my 2007 pontiac g6 is not operating properly.if i do not warm up my vehicle, the key cannot be taken out of the ignition switch while in park position.sometimes after warning up, the key is hard to come out the ignition.
"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 cablei 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 have had this car since 2009.one of the first problems i noticed was what seemed to be electrical with the lights in the car going dim for a bit, then kicking back in.this only happens every so often.low beam headlight on driver side keeps going out, even when putting a new light in. Passenger side window is the only window that works at all times.all three other windows are inoperable and have been for years.automatic transmission will jerk while shifting gears.feels like i am driving a stick shift vehicle, but this indeed a automatic.this has been going on for several years as well. Back break lights constantly stayed on.they would go off for a few seconds when you press on the breaks and release, but then would come back on right away while accelerating. --this was a recall that has been fixed--
Brake lights illuminate without pushing brake pedal. Cruise will not engage. Car fails to come out of park.
It is often very hard to shift the car into gear. Sometimes pressing the brake very hard with 2 feet will allow it to shift, other times we have to shut the engine off and on and then press the brake pedal very hard and it will shift. Now the brake lights are not working correctly. They stay on when the brake is not depressed. They sometimes go off when the brake is depressed. This car belongs to my teen daughter. This is a major safety issue.

Two weeks ago, it became increasingly more difficult to remove my key from the ignition after putting my key into park. At times, it may take up to 5 minutes to remove my key. Within a week, i noticed that it was becoming more difficult to shift from park to reverse. Last sunday, (june 1, 2014) i was at the grocery store, shifted into reverse, then drive. When i put my foot on the gas, it was as if it was in neutral. I had to drive the car home in the manual setting. My husband then test drove the car and noticed the same things. He added that when in drive, it was as if the car was in neutral and it would actually move backwards if on a slanted road or street. My husband drove my car into bradshaw motors, wade hampton, greer, sc the next day, monday, june 2, 2014. They said we need a brand new transmission. With only 50,000 miles on my car, (which i bought new) i became very upset and began to investigate recalls.i found a recall #14v224000 on the www.pontiacproblems,com/recalls/g6/2007 website.i called the 1-800 number and have been getting the run around on the phone sense.

We own a 2007 pontiac g6 gtp. My wife backs out of the driveway in the morning stops completely, puts the car in drive, however the car sometimes will not go forward for 5 to 15 seconds. We have taken it to our dealership many times for this problem. They ended up replacing the transmission. At the time there were less than 2,000 miles on this car. The problem still continues,it is still doing the same thing.they just finished putting in 2 new front axel shafts. The car now has 4,700 miles on it . My wife is very afraid of this car as she almost got hit because it would not move forward. She refuses to take this brand new car out of town, because she has no idea what might happen next.
Pontiac 2007 g6 gt started to show signs of issues shifting automatic trans into park around 50 thousand miles. The issue became apparent when i put my shifter into park and pulled my keys out and went to get out of the vehicle and it started rolling backwards and almost hit two people and another vehicle in a parking lot. The vehicle will be shifted into park but isn't actually in park. I was informed by the dealer that supposedly my shifter cable has started to "fall apart" my vehicle is now at 66 540 and it has become to the point where i am forced to have this issue fixed because the shifter cable is completely destroyed almost. I am under the belief that this is not only a huge safety concern if someone doesn't realize the car isn't in park but it is ridiculous that i am asked to pay 400 dollars for a repair that should be covered under the powertrain warranty. I have requested for gm to pay for this repair and they have denied my request because they are already trying to repair the fact that my airbag's don't work that i filled in a separate complaint on here. Huge safety issue that almost cost me my car and could have cost two people their lives or at least their mobility. Gm refuses to accept that there is a defect in the shifter cable and clip on the 2007 model of the g6 and not just the 2009 that they claim. This exact same issue is present in the 2009 g6 and has been recalled but not the 2007. I am requesting that this be investigated further because gm should be paying for these repairs... A part starts to fail 3 thousand miles after i receive the car as "certified" from gm.
I purchased a used 2007 pontiac g6 for my daughter in november 2008. Since that time the car has shut off unexpectedly or not started on occasion. Recently she has been experiencing difficulty in turning the steering wheel and the power steering fluid light is on. Upon research we were informed that the g6 does not have a power steering pump and has an electrical engine. Upon further research i have found that many owners of the pontiac g6 have complained of this problem to no avail. My daughter's safety is a concern and i want to know what gm has offered to its consumers to solve this issue.
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 uproute 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 notallow 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.
Dont want to pick up speed hasitates to switch gears,clicking sound when i turn my stearing wheel,all togather runs like '!@#$%.

Rotational noise in wheel when pulling out or turning wheel left or right. Also have front suspension problems with the struts and the strut mounts which broke on both sides of the car for no reason what so ever.
I have had many recall problems and the dealer will not fix them
We always wear seatbelts.both front seatbelts click when fastened but red seatbelt icon on dash still goes off.even if i am only one in car...still goes off.stationary and again while driving on roads...streets..highways...interstates...anywhere we go..everytime.
The driver seat belt buckle will not register that the seat belt is locked in place. This causes the light on the dash to constantly be on and the beeping sound to continue.the seat belt buckle has to be completely replaced to register it is locked into place for safety.i am having it replaced at my expense for my safety and yes the part will be available.
I was parked in a parking lot and my air bag light came on and it flashes check air bags. And my seat belts won't extend to buckle. Also, under my hood it starts to smoke and there's no leak or anything.
I have 61954 miles on my 2007 pontiac g6 march 30 2007 brand new. There was a recall #06143 the air bag service system /fmvss 208.my vin # was not notified. The summary of this recall is identical as to what is now happening car. If i have a passenger in my front side seat when they get out of the car. I get an alarm. I do not normally have a passenger and drive back and forth to work 4 miles 4 days a week. I feel this should be recalled since 359 complaints were submitted in back in 2007 and recalled, i never received a notification about it.please extend this recall. I very seldom have a passenger in the front right seat.recently when someone gets out get of the car i am now getting an alarm. If play with the seat belt it stops. This is a real safety hazard.i always service my car when it needs it. I took it to lannan chevelot woburn ma 01890 this week. They diagnosedand foundpassenger presence module has a intermittent internal failure. This is the same problem as recall # 06143.please review my claim, and contact me if you have any questions.
Passenger window has extremely badwhistle road noise. I have reported this to the dealer 4 times! they cannot seem to fix this issue. As a result, it has rained inside of my vehicle causing both seatbelts to mildew. The dealer has replaced both seatbelts. Also, the brakes have squealed since i bought the car brand new in 2007! the dealer cannot seem to get this taken care of either.
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that there had been multiple failures with the repairs from the authorized dealer and that the vehicle was sold with a damaged tire. A bolt was in the rear drivers side tire at the time the vehicle was purchased, there was a cracked rim on the front drivers side and the power steering pump failed intermittently. The contact waited two weeks for an inspection of the vehicle to no avail. The contact drove the vehicle from the authorized dealer with the bolt still in the tire. The vehicle was diagnosed by an authorized dealer to replace the power steering pump which was repaired and the failure recurred. The contact had the power steering pump replaced twice by an independent mechanic and the failure recurred. The sunroof had a leaked intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer who stated the sunroof was repaired and upon inspection by another dealer it was found that there was no lining on the sunroof and a wrench was stuck in the top of the sunroof framing. The leak had damaged the electrical function of the front drivers seat and extensive mold was on all of the seatbelts.the manufacturer was notified of the failures and indicated that the contact was to be included in recalls that have not been sent out. The manufacturer was not able to confirm when the notices would be sent. The multiple failures have not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000. Dyd

The failure and current mileage was 118,000.
While i was driving down road which i had my cruise control, cruise control turned off by itself. Found out that my brakes are staying on and not turning off. They have been staying on or they turn on when i hit gas and turn off when i hit the brake. This has been happening for months!!!!!!!!!!!
Vehicle leak on both driver and passenger side of vehicle.after car is rained on or washed, when the seatbeltsare used, they are wet with a large amount of moisture.this has been reported 2 times to the local dealership where it was purchased and they have not responded to schedule an appointment.
2007 pontiac g6 with multiple problems since purchased. Consumer states some of the problems are rattle in passenger side door, plastic seat belt holder broke, convertible top broke, the top was up, and would not lock, the retractable motor would not put the top down or up. Vehicle accelerated violently on its own while stopped.when the vehicle accelerated suddenly, the consumer hit another vehicle.
The passenger seat fails to realize that someone is sitting in the seat with the seat belt buckled. Therefore the light and bell continuously goes off when someone is sitting in it or not.
I have had several issues with my 2007 pontiac g6the steering wheel sometimes locks while steering and has gotten extremely stiff while turn that i have been unable to complete the turn. The steering wheel sometimes will move from left to right about half inch each while at a complete stop and in park. The front suspension seems to be loose it clucks and knocks while turning or hitting bumps the steering wheel also has a knock in it.sometimes when a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat the seat does not notice it and the passenger side airbag light says off and the seat belt light doesn't come on.
My service air bag light is on. My passenger air bag doesn't work. My traction control, esc, and abs light come on. My panoramic sunroof wont close. All of these are on the recall list but apparently every car other than mine is bad. When i drive the esc light will come on and pull me to the next lane. My passenger airbag is a safety concern for my passengers. I was on the freeway and my car went into the other lane and i almost hit a semi with my kids in the car. The car makes a loud whistle noise while driving, the car jerks to the left. The car makes loud noises in the front end like the car is gonna fall apart. Replaced the front end $1000.00 worth of work and still making the noise. Ate my brand new tires up.

When steering wheel is started making a whining noise.. Checked power steering fluid, added power steering fluid & steering became stiff almost unturnable. About 40 miles later rechecked power steering fluid n it wasn't reading on the dipstick again. Then noticed something leaking under vehicle on the driver's side kinda close to wheel. Almost thinking the pump has a hole or something in it. I'm not for sure on that but will probably b bring it to a mechanic tomorrow to get it checked out.
"service air bag" comes across the dic indicating it needs service done to it. Turn vehicle off and back on and the light goes away. If the car is turned on (tried many times) and someone is sitting in the passenger seat, the service message comes on after a few tries. All connectors have been checked and liquids have not been spilled on the seats.
The drivers seat welds broke... The seat moves on the track... Very unsafe if a crash happens!
While vehicle in motion, the service airbag warning displays, the bell warning sounds that passenger seat belt isn't fastened when there is no passenger present and nothing on passenger seat, indicating a faulty passenger airbag sensor. This happens sporadically but is occurring with increased frequency.
Drivers side seat leather is cracking/spliting, car has always had proper care.
Airbag lamp illuminates while vehicle is in operation. The driver information center displays an airbag malfunction message and has a warning chime. During this time the system is identifying that the airbag system is not operating. The issues seems to be related to the sensor in the front passenger seat. If the vehicle is shut off the error message and indicator lamp go away. This has been happening more frequently over the last year. In addition the driver information center sometimes fails to turn on with the vehicle, making it hard to tell when there is an issue with the vehicle. During this time the information screen/radio are not illuminated. This is corrected by shutting off and restarting the vehicle.
Brake lights are on when not pressing on the brakes but when press the brake pedal they go off so people don't know when you are stopping.
When the 2007 pontiac g6 is in drive the brake lights are indicated bright as if the brake pedal is being pressed.when the pedal is not pressed the brake lights are illuminated as if the pedal is being pressed.when the pedal is pressed to apply the brakes the brake lights go from bright to off indicating the brakes are not being applied when, in fact, they are.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake lights randomly illuminated without depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, the cruise control failed to engage. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the circuit board needed to be replaced. The circuit board was replaced twice. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated the failure was like the failure stated in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The failure mileage was 70,000.
The brake lights on my pontiac g6 switched. When brake is applied, the brake lights are off. When the brake pedal is released, the brake lights are on.
While driving on highway at 60 mph on highway right line almost at my exit . The gps fell from the window and must of hit the area of the shiftcolumn it didn't come out of drive though.the car shut off.i was able to move over to the shoulder push the flashes and emergency break when the brakes did not work just a large nose steering didn't work well.bringing it to the dealership and have them check the steering column out again.this is the 2nd time the car shut off while drivingi feel this is a part of the original recall in 2015 that listed this make, model and year pontiac g6 2007massachusetts route 2 west leominster. Ma.restarted the car, got to my destination, and drove home that night lower speeds.
While driving down the highway the right front break caliper locked up without the brake being pressed. The vehicle started to slow down on its own and the front end was shaking very hard. We were in the fast lane on the highway when the brake locked up, when we stopped the right front brake caliper was locked in place and smoke was coming from the wheel. It has happened 6 times. 4 of those times were while driving down the highway shortly after cruise control was engaged. The other 2 times were while driving down the street in town. Pontiac was notified they paid for diagnostic in case it was related to a recent recall but did not pay for the repairs.
Brake lights are on while car is in motion or parked.brake lights go off when brake pedal is pushed.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake lights would illuminate when the brake pedal was not depressed and would not illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,400.
I work nights and noticed my tail lamps were really bright when i drove by reflective signs.though i didn't think much at the time this continued.i stopped for gas one morning when i couldn't get my car from park to drive.i really had to mash the brakes down to get from park to drive.i recently was pulled over due to my tail lights not working correctly.the police officer noticed that my tail lights were lit up while driving and would turn off when i came to a stop at the light and when he pulled me over.he didn't ticket me but wanted to let my know about the issue.i looked for recalls and sure enough my 07 g6 was on the recall list but apparently it's vin specific.i even took it to the local gm dealer, kerry chevrolet, and they couldn't find any recalls with my car.the person at the dealer ship gave me gm's number and even they told me i probably shouldn't drive the car.though all my issues are on the recall from the nhtsa campaign number 14v252000 my car is not included in the recall.nor is the transmission cable thing.i won't go into this.this is a problem waiting to happen.gm should make this right and all inclusive for all model years that are affected by this not just vin specific.i've been loyal to you for many years but maybe not for long!
"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 cablei 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?????
The brake lights often come on when the brakes aren't applied and do not go on when they are applied.i have had the issue fixed three times.each time was under my warranty, under a year, so i only had to pay once.the issue happened recently again, but the year warranty has passed already.i do not drive the car often, so it might have still been an issue all along, as i also don't notice it unless it is at night.
When making turns there is a loud pop sound coming from the steering column. Also i am having issues with my brake lights coming on while the brake is not compressed and going off while the brake is compressed. It is a huge safety issue. I have almost been rear-ended multiple times due to the fact that the driver behind me does not know i am slowing down.
My brake lights are getting stuck on. The issue happened a couple of times shortly after i bought the car, but nothing to worry about. Now each time i drive the car, my brake lights are getting stuck on. When i tap the break, the lights turn off all together. I am going to have to get this repaired since i can be ticketed for this, and/or get into an accident. Faulty brake switch? the issue also causes a problem with my cruise control to refuse to engage.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated independently without having engaged the brakes and when the contact had engaged the brakes, the light would not illuminate. The failure also affected the cruise control and would cause it to independently disengage. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the electrical issue caused the transmission solenoid to become defective and as a result, it would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 80,070. Updated 10/17/13
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.
Brakes have been replaced four times in the last year and a half.still not right.every time i hit them hard they stick.
While driving on interstate cruise control disengaged.also, brake lights come on when i'm not pressing brakes and go off when brakes are applied.
While driving home from work on the interstate my brake lights came on without any application to the brakes and my cruise control dis-engaged. My brake lights remained on all the way home and my cruise control would not work. The next day they were working normal at first and then the same thing happened again.
I was getting into my car to drive home and when i put the key into the ignition and turned the car on, i noticed that my rear brake lights were on. I got out of the car to double check if they were really on or not. I then got back into the car and i pressed the brake pedal and the lights turned off. Ever since then, the car goes back and forth with this problem. When i am driving, the lights will come on as i accelerate and then when i press on the brake pedal the lights will come off.
Had car parked and noticed my brake lights were on. Pressed brake pedal and depressed it and the lights went off only to come back on. Affects my third brake light as well. Happens in the daytime as well as night. Sporadic. Was told my brake lights are on when in motion and turn off when stopped. Worried i might get in an accident or get pulled over.
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 fiance 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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights would remain illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the brake pedal was applied and the brake light would fail to illuminate. The contact replaced the brake lights, but the failure persisted. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic, etc) however, the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle would not stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The brake pedal pulsated and the steering wheel shook. In addition, the service electronic stability control and traction indicators illuminated. The contact managed to drive the vehicle home. The contact stated that "all communications were lost and no codes were detected". Furthermore, the convertible roof did not close. The vehicle was towed to bowser automotive (412-469-2100, located at 132-, 168 n lewis run rd, west mifflin, pa 15122) where the technician performed a diagnostic test, but did not find any codes. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no current recalls. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired in 2017 per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failures. The failure mileage was approximately 37,300.
On the above date and time i was driving and a police officer pulled me over and told me that my brakes were coming on when i was driving but when i was stopping they went off i have brought it into the dealer to be fixed several times and they are not fixing it they are calibrating the brakes and putting a bandaid on itlasts for about 3 weeks then right back to the way it was i have called pontiac and they just keep telling us to bring it in i went online and there have been numerous complaints on this car i understand they are from 2005-07 that the issues are occurring according to the information i read on the problem. Here is the nhtsa action number for you to reference with pe08054.they have recalled the 05's but the problem still exists in their later models. It has not been recalled and believe this issue should be addressed they know its a malfunction and they should be responsible instead of nickeling and dimming their customers just to notget the problem solved. Do we really have to wait till someone gets killed in order to address the problem? i appreciate your time [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.technicalbulletin no.: 06-02-32-007gdate: april 05, 2010subject: 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 maxx2004-2008 chevrolet malibu classic2008-2010 chevrolet malibu2005-2010 pontiac g62007-2010 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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights failed to illuminate and when the pedal was not being depressed, the brake lights would remain illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 105,000.

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.
My car has had a problem with the brakes for a while. Now there is a recall on the problem that i have been having. When the car is going down the road the brakes will light up but when i push on the brakes the lights will go out. My husband has been putting the electrical grease on the body control module and it will work for a while. Now it is only lasting for a couple of days. Took my vin # to a gm dealer and they say my car is not part of the recall and want to charge me $400.00 to fix the problem not sure what to do now i thought my car was part of a recall. Please help thank you.
My brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not being touched and then go off when the brake pedal is being pushed. The brake pedal switch has been replaced along with various other attempts to fix the problem with no success.
It is often very hard to shift the car into gear. Sometimes pressing the brake very hard with 2 feet will allow it to shift, other times we have to shut the engine off and on and then press the brake pedal very hard and it will shift. Now the brake lights are not working correctly. They stay on when the brake is not depressed. They sometimes go off when the brake is depressed. This car belongs to my teen daughter. This is a major safety issue.
My brake lights will constantly stay on. I am also having problems where my cruise control will not work. I see this is a big problem and there is a recall on the pontiac g6's for this time frame but my car is not on there. Is there a way i can get it fixed under the recall?
The brake lights in my 2007 pontiac g6 come on whenever they want but not when needed (ie. When braking). Also my left front low beam was inop.
"takata recall" i have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter.the air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly.the ab light continuouslyblanking the words "needs to be serviced" and i've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.
We have been having trouble with car since we purchased it about a year or two ago we financed our threw browns auto world fayetteville, nc and since then we have trouble with the air bag light randomly coming and shutting off are brakes were put on backwards we also had alot of trouble with acceleration of the car you could only get up to a certain speed of the car before it began to shake, the end result being the camshaft sensor, and brakes. We have also had a situation with the fuel pump which a mechanic said was very weakfrom the begining. We have recieved several recalls on the car but everytime we took it gm motors they looked up the vin and said our was fine but it matched was written on the recalls so my question is where do i go from here? what is my next step?
My brake lights are not working properly. The brake lights would be on when i didn't use my brakes and when i used the brakes the brake lights went off. Earlier today i was very close to having someone hit me in the back end because of this. I researched this problem out and discovered that many people are having this same problem. It needs to be fixed or someone is going to get seriously hurt.
Vehicle was on a street driving down the road applied pressure to brakes to slow down to come to a stop and the low traction light popped on.then the brakes locked up on the car and they will not unlock.
Driving along the road a deer came out we tried to swerve to avoid the deerand 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.
Vehicles brake lights staying on when brakes are not being applied. This issue is on going for over a year and have attempted to have this issue fixed by three different shops even a gm dealer with all saying they can not find an issue. This issue is when the vehicle is in park and when in drive.
There was already a recall on the dysfunction of the brake lights.i got it fixed, according to the recall. All seemed well, but i am now about a year (longer?) after the recall and it seems to not have worked.i know, very well, of someone who owns a year later of the same car, had the same recall, and it also ended up going back to the malfunctioning.i know too well, a service isn't guaranteed after a year. Where does a recall, that didn't get fixed properly, have a time limit on getting fixed!
Brake light are on when accelerating and go off when brake pedal is depressed.also, from time to time, you have to depress the brake pedal to the floor to be able to shift out of park.
I started my car and my airbag sensor lit up on my dashboard and on my stereo screen it said "service air bag". There was an issue with my passenger air bag when i purchased the vehicle in june 2014 but they said they had it reset before i purchased it. Also, on multiple occasions people have told me at stop lights that my brake lights are on while i am driving and off while i am stopped. I found online that this a recall issue but it doesn't pull up for my particular vin number. These are issues outside of the recalls that i was already forced to deal with.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brake lights randomly illuminated. In addition, when the brake pedal was engaged, the brake light failed to illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear brake lamps needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on two separate occasions, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the body control module and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The failure mileage was 128,000.
When stepping on the brake to engage the car into drive a clicking is heard and then brake goes to floor.brake lighting does not work all the time but is on and off. The was a recall on other g6 vehicles 14v252000 for this issue but the dealer states this vehicle is not included. The other recall is for the same issues.
My brake lights come on with out me even touching the brake peddle. I have replaced the brake light switch 4 times already. With one of them being today. On my way home tonight the brake lights came back on. After doing some research it seems like i'm not the only one with this problem. I'm afraid that this is going to cause an accident . When i step on the brake peddle the lights go out. So if i had to stop quick the car behind me might not know that i'm stopping and hit me. Is there a recall on this issue?
There was no incident. I'm just smelling gas and my car isn't starting on the first turn like before. As i was doing my research, i came across the recall on the fuel pump.i also received a notice about a recall 13036 brake lamp malfunction as well as 14152 transmission shift cable fracture.i would like to know what action i need to take. I see the gas issue is a big concern.
When i start the car the brake lights come on and stay on most of the time, without touching the brake pedal. When i do touch the pedal they go out. Also the cruse control stopped working about the same time. I had a mechanic look at it but he couldn't find the problem. I will get a hold of g.m. And try to find the problem. I'm afraid to drive it the way the stop lights work-backwards-.
I received a letter from gm stating the body control module may not work properly and cause the brake lights to not function correctly. The lights can either stay on or not come on when the brakes are applied the letter says they will extend warranty coverage but not repair the car unless it actually fails. This is a safety concern and not acceptable. Gm should be made to correct the body control module and recall the vehicles. I cannot see the if the brake lights are functioning from the drivers seat.
Brake lights worked intermittently. Sometimes when accelerating, the brake lights stay on and when actually braking, the brake lights go off. Sometimes the brake lights just permanently stay on. When the brake lights engage intermittently or permanently, the cruise control disengages. Had the brake pedal switch replaced and re-calibrated on numerous dates at shaheen gm in mount pleasant, mi. November of 2012, returned the vehicle to lunghamer gmc dealership where the car was purchased and had the entire brake sensor system replaced and re-calibrated. One month after the repair, the brake lights began working intermittently again. Took the vehicle to dagwood's in mount pleasant, mi where i was told that the problem was unfixable. Dagwood's claimed that they could replace the switch and re-calibrate again, but that there was no guarantee that the problem would not resume immediately after pulling it off the lot. This is a constant problem, in which i have been pulled over for a couple of times. However, it is not a matter of a simple "fix-it" ticket since there seems to be no possible repair. It is also very dangerous to be driving when the brake lights are not working properly. I have nearly been rear-ended on numerous occasions when i have been braking and the car behind me cannot tell because the brake lights do not go on. I have documentation of all of the times that i have brought the vehicle to the dealership in attempts to remedy this situation.
My 2007 pontiac g6 has repeating brake light illuminating issues. For almost two years the vehicles brake lights illuminate while brake is not applied. The brake lights are on driving at all speeds and actually stop illuminating when brake is applied. This has been happening consistently in warm and cold weather, rainy and dry weather. I have taken the vehicle to the local gm dealership here in cincinnati, oh and was told that they could not get the problem to repeat itself and therefore could not diagnose the vehicles issue. I am extremely concerned for my family's safety and the safety of other drivers on the road. Not only have i experienced this problem but a handful of times i have also seen other 2007 g6 on local roadways with illuminating brake lights during acceleration. Again i am extremely concerned and hope that with your help gm will recognize this issue and attempt to provide me as a owner the steps to ensure safety.thank you
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving, the contact attempted to activate the cruise control, but was unsuccessful. The contact was informed by another driver that the brake light was constantly illuminated while the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,605.
Advised by a fellow motorist that i was "riding my brakes" around the end of 2010 while driving on interstate 77 through very hilly terrain. Not understanding what he meant as i was clearly not riding my brakes in the normal sense but maybe had tapped them once or twice to slow down going down hill, i dismissed this and figured he was angry.end of 2011/early 2012 advised by a friend that my brake lights were always on while she followed me and we spoke on the phone. I discovered through this conversation that they would go off when i actually pressed the brake.took this to a certified gm mechanic who could not find anything wrong with the brakes.after some research, i advised them of the service bulletin which had been issued for the 2006 model year of my vehicle that indicated this same problem and showed a fix for it.they fixed it according to that bulletin and it seemed to work at the time.july 2013, discovered while driving at night on a side road (could see the street signs illuminate behind me as i passed them) that once again the brake lights were working in reverse, they were on when i was driving and would go off when i brake.took it back to the same gm mechanic who had temporarily fixed it the first time.they replaced the brake pedal position sensor as they found that to be reading incorrectly at times and released the car back to me advising that it was working at that time.the day after i took it to the mechanic, i had a friend followed me to confirm that it was fixed.i was advised by my friend while again talking on the phone to him that this did not fix the issue as i would tell him when i was braking and he would tell me what he saw.i am currently still driving with my brakes working in reverse.taking it back to the same gm mechanic to see if they can fix this for good.
My 2007 pontiac g6 has repeating brake light illuminating issues.(reverse of normal functioning). For almost two years (2011) the vehicles brake lights illuminate while the brake is not applied. The brake lights are on/illuminated while driving at all speeds and actually stop illuminating when the brake is applied. This has been happening consistently in warm and cold weather, rainy and dry weather. I have taken the vehicle to the local gm dealership here in columbus oh and had the issue repaired costing $100 which solved the problem for approximately 9-12 months (2012). The issue recurred after the repair was no longer covered under the dealerships repair warranty of 12 months or 12,000 miles. In the last 6 months (jan - june 2013) in addition, i have experienced malfunctions with my cruise control,as well as unable to get the car to move from park into any other gear for as much as up to 30 mins, leaving me stuck and stranded, also when applying my foot to the brake pedal it feels like there's no padding or like there's air in the line,as well as a vibration .i am extremely concerned for my family's safety as well as the safety of other drivers as i could be very easily be rear ended at any given moment while driving on the road. I have experienced vehicles running up closely behind me as there was no indication i was slowing. Not only have i experienced this problem,but a handful of times i have also seen other 2007 g6 on local roadways with illuminating brake lights during acceleration. Again i am extremely concerned and hope that with your help gm will recognize and expedite this issue as it is a very serious and urgent matter and attempt to provide me as a owner the steps to ensure safety. Thank you
While the car is stationary or moving the brake lights appear on but once pressure is applied to the brakes they turn off. Basically the opposite way the brake lights should be working.
When the brake pedal is not being used, the brake lights will stay on and will turn off when the pedal is depressed. Additionally, car hard to shift out of park, and that cruise control does not engage properly.
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.
Brake lights are on all the time while driving. Brake lights are off when pushing brake pedal toslow down and stop. Also have to push brake pedalunusually hard to floor to get transmission to shift out of park.i know there was a recall on pontiac g6 cars for this ( recall#13036). I typed my vin number in this website and it said 0 recalls on it.i just recently bought this car used.not sure if this actually happened on feb. 28, 2019 but approximately then. And it probably happened when i was in park mode although can't be sure.
2007 pontiac g6, followed wife home noticed that her brake lights where always on except when she was slowing down.they appear to be the opposite way they should be..very dangerous!!!
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph the brake light illuminated on the instrument panel multiple times without warning. The vehicle was repaired twice and the failure continued to occur. The contact was advised by the dealer that the failure was unable to be diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70000.
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.
One day, without any incident, the brake lights started acting up. When not applying brake, brake lights shine. When i hit the brake, the brake lights turn off. I have had the brake switch replaced and have had dielectric grease put on conductors. The problem went away for a few months and now is back to acting up. I have read many other posts and blogs about said problem and i cannot believe that gm and the nhtsa have not done something for models newer than the 2005 g6. Someone is going to get killed because of this faulty system. I want these problems fixed before someone gets seriously hurt because of the company's negligence.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 80 mph with the cruise control activated, the wheels locked up. There were no warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (webster city auto center, 129 2nd st, webster city, ia 50595) where it was diagnosed that the brake switch failed. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,202. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed and the brake warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the gear shifter would engage into neutral, park, or drive independently. The failures occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to bay ridge chevrolet (1575 86th street, brooklyn, ny 11228, 718-232-0186) where a diagnostic test located a failure code for the body control module, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The contact stated that the repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.
I bought the car in november 2009.i first noticed it 2 weeks after i purchased.the cruise would always turn off randomly.i noticed then that the brake lights would randomly come on.now they are pretty much on all the time even when the car is in park.they don't turn off unless car is off.the air bag light will come on and say its on when there is no one in the passenger seat.and sometimes when a passenger is in the seat it will be off.also with this the seatbelt alarm will ding and ding until i buckle in my invisible person.it isn't all the time but it worries me because having a faulty air bag is not cool.i've contacted gm because i saw that these things were on recall but they told me that my vin isn't recalled even though its the exact same issue.is there any way you can help?
Brake lights come on for no reason and when pedal is pressed the lights go off.. This is very dangerous and have almost caused 2 accidents in one trip home from work. I have brought car to sts and they replaced the brake pedal position sensor and it still did not correct issue. I see many other owners are dealing with the same issue, and believe this to be a major concern for all.
Brake lights go on when pedal is not pressed, goes off when you step on the brake. Also, cruise control shuts off automatically while driving or will not engage at all.
I used to work late nights, and while driving home one night i noticed my brake lights were really bright. When i pushed the brake pedal down my brake lights would turn off. I also have problems pulling my car from park to reverse or drive. It makes me really nervous to drive and it seems as though it just keeps getting worse. I don't know what to do or even how to fix it. I really can't find anybody who knows how to fix it. Everything i've looked up is just a temporary fix. It's just extremely frustrating, and i really don't want to end up with a huge ticket or getting into an accident because of it.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the brake lamp switch was replaced. There was currently an open investigation under nhtsa action number rq13001 (exterior lighting) for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.updated 4/24/13 the consumer stated the cruise control, battery, and remote start all had failures. All were repaired except the remote start. Updated 06/03/2013
My brake lights stay on while pedal in not pressed and turn off when pressed , i can not find a repair for the problem the pedal positioning sensor has been replaced and it has not fixed the problemthis is a safety concern for me due to the fact that drivers behind me receive no warning of me braking.
I do not remember the date or mileage but my car has many problems. The traction light came on, it says traction off. It affects the steering, breaks, it causes fishtailing. I bought this car for safety! the company should replace it or give the owners new cars or a discount on a new vehicle. I am having the traction sensors replaced costing me $400. I was told the timing chain needs to be replaced as well! i was also told it could be a recall but they are trying to charge me $1200 to change it! what do i do? its not my fault it was made with faulty parts
I have a 2007 pontiac g6. I have been having issues with my brake lights coming on while i am accelerating and the brake lights go off when i brake putting me at higher risk for an accident. I have also experienced issues with having a hard time shifting out of park as well as my cruise control cuts off randomly for no reason and lastly i am also have a check airbag light that will not go off.
The contact owns 2007 pontiac g6. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000( electrical system , electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
When pressing the brakes in the car the brake lights would go off. Not notifying the vehicles behind me that i am stopping. When brakes is released the brake lights in the back of the car would then come on.
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 contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact received a notification for recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) and nhtsa campaign number: 14v224000 (power train). However, the parts needed to the repairs were unavailable.the dealer was uncertain when the parts would be available to service the vehicle under recall.the manufacturer was notified of the delay.the contact had not experienced a failure.
I was driving down the highway with my cruise control on when it randomly turned off. The light was still on that shows that cruise control is ready to be on but it would not come back on and has been on and off since. The cruise control no longer works. My brake lights also have been acting up. While i drive without applying pressure to the brakes, the brake lights are on, but when i go to stop, they turn off.
I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since i have had this car i have not had the chance to really enjoy it because i am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and i have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, while the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed, but the brake lights failed to illuminate. Also, while driving approximately 60 mph, the brake lights illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed. The failure recurred numerous times intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that the body control module needed to be cleaned. The failure recurred. The vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Brake lights stay on without pressure being applied to the brake pedal. Brake lights go off when brake pedal is depressed. Brake light malfunction causes the cruise control system to work erratically.
Someone stopped me in traffic to let me know my brake lights were on even though i was accelerating. The problem persisted through numerous repair and continues to be on during the entire ride. Also, it is really hard sometimes to get the gear out of park and into another selection. I have spent almost 1,000 dollars in repairsbut the problem still exist.
Power steering not working, brakes sometimes goes too low to the floor & pedel sensor has gone off making car accelerate at times.
2007 pontiac g6 i've had since 2009. Within the last year or two, the brake lights appear to be on while the brake is not being pressed. Once the brake pedal is pressed, lights go off then take a couple seconds and turn back on. Dangerous for drivers behind since they can't tell when i am actually braking or not. It basically just seems like i am riding the brakes constantly!
As with other g6's. Mine has the issue where the brake lights are always engaged and they turn off only when brake. I believe this to be a safety hazard.
Thebrake lights are illuminated when not braking,, and not illuminated when braking.. In addition the cruise controlmalfunctions.
Driving on thehighway with the cruise on. The cruise control shut off and brake lights were illuminated withouth depressing the brake pedal. When the brake pedal was engaged the brake lights turned off. I have replaced the brake light switrch, fuses, added dieelectric grease to the nodes, removed the battery to reset the computer system. The problem will be fixed temporarily and then start again. This is incredibly unsafe. Please extend the recall to models newer than 2005. This is obviously a major issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt. Gm need to fix this issue with their vehicles.
Brake lights wont go on when applying brakes, this is very bad. This problem can lead to an accident, injury or death. I demand a recall right away.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and i am having issues with the brake lights malfunctioning.the brake lights will come on when i am not pressing down the brakes and when i do press on the brakes the brake lights go off.i have also had trouble shifting out of park.i understand there is a investigation going on that may possibly result in a recall.i just wanted to put my complaint in because i feel this is a huge safety hazard.also i see alot of other people have complained about this as well.thanks.
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.
Two hours after driving it off the dealership lot, it started clunking /snapping in the frontend when i turn, go over a slight bump, brake and accelerate. No doubt there needs to be a recall and soon!
As i attempted to turn left the steering was difficult to turn and the gas wasn't accelerating correctly and suddenly took off and crashed into a vehicle ahead of me.
On multiple occasions the brake lights will illuminate when the brake is not being depressed, when this happens, the cruise control will disengage.if i then apply the brakes, the brake lights will go off and stay off, even if i come to a complete stop.also, while in motion, if this problem happens, i can tap the brakes and the lights will go off....i can then set the cruise control again, and it will work for a few seconds until the brake lights come on again.other motorists have told me my brake lights stay on while i'm in motion, and go off when i stop.this is a big safety concern, and someone's going to be injured.gm recalled 2005-2006 models for this same issue, but didn't extend it to 2007 models.however, i've read numerous accounts of this issue happening in 2007 models.can't something please be done before someone is hurt?i'm bringing it in as i'm afraid to keep driving it this way, and will have to pay to have them fix it, but i've heard the fix is only temporary, and i'll have to bring it back many times.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights remained illuminated on the vehicle. The brake lights would disengage when the brake pedal was depressed with great force. The failure was intermittent. The dealer diagnosed that the pedal position sensor needed to be replaced. The contact believed that the diagnosis was incorrect because the pedal position sensor had been replaced two weeks prior to the diagnostic test. The vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the brake lights would remain illuminated while driving after the recall repair was performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Brake lights are working in reverse. The brake lights are on when you are not hitting the brakes and they go out when you hit the brake pedal. The 2014 recall did not fix the problem! it was merely a bandaid and temporary fix. On more than 1 occasion, i have seen the car behind me fly up on my rear end and have to slam on their brakes. This is a huge problem!i drive my vehicle with my children in it. It is only a matter of time before i get rear ended and someone gets seriously injured or worse. I have found multiple people complaining of the same issues on car forums, after having the recall done, so i know it is not just my car that has the problem.this needs to be addressed and fixed immediately!
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 son was driving at 5 pm in stop and go traffic.he hadbeen cut off by a driver who then slammed on their brakes. (out of town driver) when the car ahead of him stopped my son was driving at approx 30 miles per hour.my son slammed on his brakes with two car lengths ahead of him and the g6 rear ended the car ahead of him.when i was contacted my son reported the car panic brake assist feature did not seem to work. He indicated the car was not stopping despite his hard braking.we have had new brakes installed on this car in february 2014. My concern: a gm recall 13036 was issued and parts were unavailable.to correct this panic assist braking features.the accident took place on 9/3/14 and i received a letter on 9/5/14indicating parts to correct this were available. My son has never had a traffic citation or warning and is now considered responsible for the accident.most likely the car has been totaled.
Our 2007 pontiac g6 brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is not depressed.once the pedal is pressed the lights go off.we have had the car into the dealership at least 5 times for the same issue and we have replaced the lighting switch once.the shop has told us that they have done everything they can do to fix the issue but the problem still exists.this is extremely dangerous on the highway and we have had people behind us lock up their brakes to avoid rear rending us because they aren't aware that we are actually on the brakes when they are following us.
Brakes lights turn on while accelerating and turn off when brake pedal is depressed. Sometimes have a problem shifting out of park. Cruise control also shuts off randomly.
What is happening is that whenever i drive, my brake lights are constantly on. Then, when i step on my brakes, the brake lights turn off.because of this, my cruise control is not working.this is very unsafe for drivers following me, especially if i would happen to come to a quick stop if there were to be an emergency. I have looked up ways to fix this problem online, and one of the solutions was to apply a special lubricant to an electrical plug. This solution worked for awhile, but now it is not working anymore.please send out a recall or something to get this fixed! i see g6's all the time while i am driving with this very same problem, and i have read about a lot of people with this same problem online. Thank you for your time!
For awhile now my check engine light has been on and my no traction control light has been blinking so i had a full diagnostic inspection done that read nothing. As a result, i had them do a fuel system cleaning since there is a small jerky feel every time i drive. I also had them do a break fluid exchange but the no traction control light still blinks. Along with that, most times after fueling up my car, my car drives well and just fine but on september 18th, after fueling up, i was turning into traffic proceeding to the farthest lane so that i can turn left into my apartments then pop! and the steering wheel locked and the gear had locked in drive. This scared me so bad so i braked in every way i could hoping i wouldn't crash then tried shifting gears and cranking my car again. I got into the gates and into the parking lot then my car stalled and cut off again. I finally parked my car, popped the hood, and there was nothing wrong that i could see from my view. So, the next day september 19th i drove to class that morning and it stalled a bit any time i increased my speed as if it wanted to cut off. I got into the parking lot of my college and it cuts off as soon as i begin to turn into a parking spot between two cars. I crank it up, complete my park then i go inside for class until lunch. On lunch, i crank up my car and wow the check engine light is finally off but as usual the no traction control light is blinking. I test drive my car to the local winn dixie and back and on the way back pop! then it stalls to cut off but doesn't cut off so i take it back to my college before lunch is over and park it. Now it's the end of the day and i'm out of class and headed home. This time i make it into the gate but i'm getting close to going over a speed bump and pop! it doesn't cut off but it's stalls badly like it wants too so i proceed to drive then park it. Please, help.
Brake lights were reported on while i'm not depressing the brake pedal and going off when i press the brakes in.i started having trouble shifting out of park, and my cruise control works intermittently.
General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 malibu, 2004-2007 malibu maxx, 2005-2010 pontiac g6, 2007-2010 saturn aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the body control module (bcm) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of park, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of park. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service esc and/or traction control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition.general motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2008 my chevrolet malibu (gmx380) and 2005-2008 my pontiac g6 with 4-speed transmissions (mn5); except for vehicles already repaired under safety recall 12106 12v-460 with labor code v2671 or v2672 and 2007 and some 2008 my saturn aura vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission (me7/mn5). These vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture at any time.
2007 pontiac g6 brake lights stay on constantly whether the petal is pushed or not.
Last week i was following my son down the highway when i noticed his brake lights were on while driving.i also noticed that when we approached a stop light, his brake lights went off.i have no idea how long he had been driving his vehicle with no brakes lights while braking. Hindsight, most likely, whenhis cruise control stopped working (early summer).he is a college student that attends a university 3 hours from home and travels the interstate frequently. This is an extremely dangerous situation and i find it very negligent thatthere has not been a recall on this faulty sensor. Would any employee of general motors want their child driving a vehicle with no brake lights?please put a recall on these vehicles for this problem.
Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when i was driving and something broke,i think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when i don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when i was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about0 to 40 day ago.
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.
The brake lights on the car remained on whether using brake pedal or not. Brake pedal sensor and control module had to be replaced.
When you put the car in drive the brake lights come on. When you step on the brake pedal to stop, the brake lights go out.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that immediately after starting the vehicle, the brake warning light illuminated and. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on five different occasions. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 124,000.
My car was recalled due to brake lights coming on and losinig cruise control.was repaired at my local gm dealership ion 9/04/2014 in compliance with safety recall.recently the same problem started again.i took my care for the final recall to my dealership for the transmission shiftcable and also reported to them the failure of the brake lights once again.i was told that that recall repair was done and they found nothing wrong, i responded with the part they fixed for this problem needs to be replaced because it failed again after the recall fix.they responded that the part was not replaced it was fixed with dialetic grease and a zip tie.please check into this problem again for it seems like gm has just put a band aid on a gushing wound to avoid paying and fixing the problem permanently.and i am stuckeither paying hundreds of dollars the dealer quoted or continue driving a car that could get me killed!for now the brake lights either stay on or may not work at all, even in park with the car idling they stay on until i tap the brakes then they sometimes do not come on when tapped again.
Car has caught on fire twice due to power steering hose rubbing and leaking flammable fluidsbrake lights malfunction always....on when accelerating and off when you actually apply brakesair bag lights on and off on and off--malfunctioning all the time.
I was told by a person following me that my brake lights we always illuminated, then when i actually applied brake pedal the lights went out.also, to start cruise control i must tap my brake before it will engage.then, after it is engaged, it will turn off by itself within 15-30 seconds.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated when the brake pedal was not applied. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 14v252000 (electrical system , electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic and vehicle speed control) and stated that the parts were not available. The dealer did not give a specific date when the parts would become available. The manufacturer was also contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repairs. The contact had experienced the failure intermittently. The failure mileage was 69,000.
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.
My first incident was with my speed control disengaging while driving on the freeway. Then my stoplights stayed on while driving and would go off when i would stop.had my mechanic look and he put on a new brake switch. That did not fix the problem.then we did a search on the internet and found other complaints and then looked on this site.i then took my car to the gm dealer where it was purchased and explained all this to themstill wasn't fixed and i must take it back to them again.
While driving my brake lights stay on without the brake peddle being pressed when brake peddle pressed brake lights go off . I was almost rear ended at the a traffic light . Also have been warned several times by motorist.please help before someone is badly injured. This problem seams to be very numerousamong pontiac g6 owners.
I own a 2007 pontiac g6. The brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not even touched. When i do apply the brake, the brake light shuts off. This has caused several "close calls" during highway driving. I am aware that there was a recall for this exact problem on the 2005and 2006 pontiac g6's, which was diagnosed as corrosion in a wiring connector problem. Perhaps some of these bad wiring connectors were used in the 2007 cars. I contacted gm and got the "party line""sorry but your year 2007 is not included in the recall" even though the problem is exactly the same as the recalled 2005's and 2006's. Will it take a terrible accident to acknowledge thatthere is a serious problem here??????????
Brake lights not working when applying brakes or stay on. I am very worried about this problemit is very bad, and i demand a recall from general motors inc., to fix this problem.thank you.
My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this. The brake lights do not work when you press the pedal and turn on without the pedal being pressed. My cruise control no longer works period. A gm technician looked at my car and could not find anything that he could do to fix it. When he used the tech 2 tool, he would try and turn one tail light on and the opposite would turn on instead. Pontiac will not even look at my car at any dealer for free. They want me to pay and maybe get reimbursed for it. I have many issues with my car but this is the worst. My panoramic sun roof leaks and makes a ton of noise while i drive. The sun shade fell off on it as well.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving at various speeds, the brake lamps illuminated when the brake pedal was not depressed and failed to illuminate when the brakes were depressed. The vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred intermittently after the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
Brake lights come on while driving and turn off when brake is pressed passenger headlight comes on sometimes severe leaking into passenger floor board when rains.
2007 pontiac g6 gt. When i am not pressing the brake pedal the lights remain on as if i were braking. When the brakes are depressed, the lights turn off. Condition has been continually occurring and i fear it may present itself one day resulting in an accident.
When i was driving one day, my break lights turned on. I found this out because i couldn't turn on my cruise control. After a while i thought it was a fluke, but then people kept pulling me over telling me about my break lights. I was so angry that they kept coming on, i took my warranty i got in the mail and car to a gm dealer. They said they can't fix it completely but just recalculated the system to turn the lights off for a while. I'm so sick of my break lights coming on at random times. Sometimes its while im driving, and sometimes they are on already right after i turn on my key. I would really appreciate getting this fixed for free because i'm so worried i might get into an accident or harm someone else because they don't know if i'm stopping or driving. I want to keep me and my son safe.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v224000 (power train) and 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the parts needed to repair the vehicle were unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Brake lights turn on randomly and stay on while driving. Only turn off when i put on the brakes, causing a major safety concern. Only fix for now is to grease circuit, but i have to keep redoing that every few weeks.
Brake lights stay on intermittently when the brake pedal is not depressed, while at the same time the cruise control does not operate. The brake lamp switch was replaced, which did not resolve the problem.
When i push the gas my vehicles brake lights are illuminated. When i push on the brakes the lights go off. I do not have any brake lights and have almost gotten into multiple accidents due to this issue.this is a huge saftey concern. I have contacted the dealership and gm, both tell me to bring it in and that i would have to pay for any and all repairs. I have done a lot of research and noticed that there is a recall for issues similiar to this, my vehicle does not fit into the recall. I have done all work that the recall suggests and it only helps for a couple of days.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake light would remain illuminated although the brakes were not engaged. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to repaired the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system , electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 134,000.
This car had a recall for the brake lights randomly coming on and off. I took the car in myself and they lubed up the circuits with dielectric grease. This fixes the problem for a few weeks. I have been fighting this problem for years. This morning i was following my wife and kids and the brakes lights are on when she is going and they go off when she applies the brake. I took it back to the dealership and they tell me my recall has already been fixed. After researching this problem it seems thousands of people have the same problem. My issue is that the dealership doesn't care and someone is going to get seriously hurt. The dealership told me to look on youtube and learn how to grease the electric plug the brake lights are on. This is not fair. This problem has always been on the car and they should fix it.
The brake lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 gt do not operate as they should most of the time. The brake lights come on when the car is running even though the brakes are not being applied, then when i do brake the lights turn off(sometimes they will flash and come back on). This has nearly caused me to be rear ended on multiple occasions with cars swerving out of the lane behind me more than once to avoid hitting the car. Also, this being a smaller issue, when the brake lights are on while i am driving i cannot engage the cruise control or if it has been engaged with the brake lights off when they come on they disengage it.
The brake lights are coming on while accelerating and going off when the brake pedal is engaged. This is extremely dangerous to my family but we are traveling and will have to take care of this at our destination. The cruise control is working intermittent and the shift interlock needs excessive pressure to unlock the shifter. I see this is being looked into for a recall this needs to be fixed before someone is hurt!
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 60 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle suddenly accelerated at high speeds. The contact also stated that the abs sensor and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact attempted to disengage the cruise control, but it failed to deactivate. The brakes hesitated to respond when the cruise control was activated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.
Brakes, and brake rotors have been replaced numerous times. Too many electrical malfunctions to mention. Today, my wife said her power steering light came on. It scares me that she has to drive my son to school in this car.i have researched this vehicle, and found numerous safety issues with other owners as well. I have contacted the different dealers for help, to no avail. Why isn't there a recall yet?
Brake lights don't illuminate when applying the brake. Also they illuminate when in park or when pressing the gas. We just bought the car on saturday (9/15/12) and my husband noticed that the brake lights were on the entire time i was driving on the highway. So when we got home, i called the dealership. They told me to bring the car in. We picked it up again on monday night and they said it was fine. Tues, i was stopping at a light and the car behind me skidded to a stop but swerved away from hitting me. The next day i made my husband check the lights, and again the same issue was happening. I emailed the dealership and they said to bring the car in again. So i did and the service guy said there is a problem with this in many g6's. He replaced some brake switch or something and did what was recommended by pontiac but said he wants to keep it overnight and see if it happens again tomorrow. I'm very concerned b/c i have 3 young children who are in the car with me and i'm afraid to drive the car b/c if the brake lights don't illuminate, i will definitely get hit. There is no recall that i can find re: this issue and it looks like there is no fix. I haven't even owned the car a week and i drove it for three days. The shop has had it for 4 days.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving an unknown speed, the brake light illuminated and turned off when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the dealers who noticed the connection was corroded and needed to clean. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred and this time the cruise control became inoperable as well. The contact was made aware of recall nhtsa campaign id number 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) however, the vin was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The brake lights on my pontiac g6 2007 do not function correctly. When driving they stay on, when pressing on the brake they go out. My cruise control does not work either. I have changed the brake light sensor five times and it works for a day or so, and goes out again. I have read that other customers have this problem as well. It is very dangerous.
I noticed that my brake lights will stay on when the brakes are not engaged and when i press down on the brake pedal the brake lights turn off.once i depress the pedal the brake lights will go on again.this will happen on random occasions, sometimes the brake lights work fine and then sometimes they malfunction.i have also noticed that sometimes the cruise control will not engage while other times it will.there have been two occasions where the cruise control disengaged while traveling on the highway.
When the car is in park, the brake light will automatically come on after about 3-5 seconds without pressing the pedal.while driving, the brake lights will stay on until application of the brakes.the brake lights will then turn off when the brakes are pressed. On multiple occurrences, i have had other drivers flag me down while on the road to tell me about the problem.this issue is especially dangerous at night since the driver behind you will have no indication you are slowing down since pressing the brake turns off the brake lights.this issue has been going on for over 2 years now and is becoming unsafe to drive.i am constantly worried driving at nights because the risk for being rear ended is very high.i have seen many others having the same issue and request the nhtsa recall this issue before someone gets seriously injured or killed.also, the car gets stuck in park after starting the car.the only way to get the car out of park is to repeatedly press the brake to unlock.
Brake lights were coming on with out hitting the brakes. I was driving down the highway and people were yelling at me that the brake lights were constantly on. I pulled it into the shop and they were on when they shouldn't be and went off when i hit the brakes. The cruise control will not engage. I have had the brake light switch replaced and it is still doing the same thing.
Takata recall for about a month now my vehicle has been randomly dying.i was on the highway when suddenly everything locked up i couldn't stop, couldn't brake, the engine seized and i was unable to restart the car.the steering wheel was moving in both directions by itself, then locked up.i had to get out and push the car into a safe place and was unable to re-start it.
My brakes lights are staying on while the brake pedal is not pressed and going off when it is. I've replaced the brake switch still not working. The cruise control will not work. When you press the brake pedal the wheel shakes a little bit and the car likes to pull to one side. After reading a few of these reviews and noticing that everyone is having the same issues, somethings needs to be done about this it is not safe for my family to be driving this car the way it is. Im afraid that nothing is going to be done in time until it is to late for someone.
I owna 2007 pontiac g6.i was driving a couple weeks and my power steering light came across my radio with beeps, with the steering wheel shaking when in stationaryand driving and then after a few minutes i would suddenly loosepower steering. I would pull over and turn car off and turn back on and it would work for a few minutes then once again suddenly loose power steering. The last 5 days the power steering goes out immediately and i have no power steering. Due to the sudden loss of power steering at any driving speed, i would still have some ability to turn the wheel but it is not easy and makes things more dangerous while traveling or during a turn.when i took my car to mechanic, my car was diagnosed : torque sensor in the eps system. I started doing some research to see if this was a common problem.i came across a recall for the sudden loss of electric power steering in a 2007 pontiac g6 which was dated february 4,2015.i was reading the recall which was described as to what my problem is with my car. The recallnhtsa campaign number: 15v064000i also came across a special coverage adjustment -loss of electric power steering.my care was not included in the gm torque sensor assembly recall. This is obviously a serious defect, when there is a recall and a special coverage. Gm told me they would not fix my car because it was not in recall and also told me that because the special coverage was expired they would not pay for repairs.i find this very disturbing, when at one point gm was fixing this problem in 2007-2010 pontiac g6. Gm told me i should have got a letter about this special warranty.i never received this letter, or i would have got this completed at that time. I feel this problem needs to be relooked at to keep people safe on the roads..
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the brake warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system , electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control) but the recall remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,522.
I was pulled over by good samaritans to let me know my brake lights were on while driving but completely off when in use. After research on internet this is highly common in these cars. I found a fix online until i was pulled over again by good samaritans. I am 7 months pregnant with two small children in this vehicle i have no way to know if they are working or not unless my father does a brake check some days they work some days they don't. This to me is highly dangerous for consumers that don't realize this is a common problem in this vehicle. I called my dealership but they are not quite sure what is wrong with it. Is it going to take a pregnant women to get rear ended or for someone to die before this brake light issue is resolved. This is scary and dangerous.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in operation, the brake lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic several times who had been unable to provide a solution.

1-cruise control comes back on after disengaging, loud clunk when turning, have fixed ball joints and front end stuff several times and it still clunks at low speeds ever since i've owned the vehicle. Have had issues with the brake system as well.
Was a a stop on a 2 way street getting ready to make a left turn and a suv hits us from behind and send me forward with my right arm slamming into dashboard of car with a strained tendon in my shoulder shoulder. Called gm and they state the electrical problem on my car was fixed during our visit for another recall in jan 2014 however we were in an accident for the same issue they said they fixed!
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.

Brake lights always appear on when driving, brake lights go off when brake pedal is pressed. Because my vehicle shows that the brake lights are always on it effects my cruise control and it will not engage when driving. I have been pulled over and close calls of being hit because when i am actually braking, it shows i am not so vehicles behind me do not know i am applying the brakes.
Brake lights sometimes do not work. Other times they are on w/o pressing the brake, then they go off when pressing the brake.
While driving-the stop lights stay on, when the brakes are applied the lights go out. Have difficulty getting shifter out of park. Also speed control quit working. There is a recall for this problem-number 13036. It covers cars built between may 26. 2004 to jan. 4 2010.[ my car was built may 2007 ]. When i called g. M. Phone-800-553-6000. This is the pontiac number. They said my serial number is not on the list.{ i don't understand }. This car has the exact problem that is addressed in this recall. Problem with the body control module. This is a safety issue--- i have had drivers blowing horns at me when i stop because my brake lights don't come on.--they stay on while driving. Hope you can help me. Thank you.
The brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is not depressed, and turn off once the pedal is applied.http://www.denverpost.com/auto/news/ci_23449828?source=rss.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 45 mph, the brake lights illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake light switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.
I bought a brand new 2008 pontiac g6 base model 4 door 2.4l. At less than 20,000 miles i started getting brake problems. I brought it into the dealership and they told me that i needed the brakes turned and grinned. I refused to let them do that because other pontiac g6 owners have complained about the same issues and when they got theirs turned and grinned the same problems with the brakes occurred thereafter. Now (@24,000) i have warped brakes, worn out pads, and a defective worn out i-shaft(steering rod). I brought my car in to the dealership last week, they replaced one of the rotors in the rear, replaced all pads and grinned and turned the rest of the rotors. They claimed my car was fixed but the second i drove out of the dealership the same warping noise was apparent coming from the brakes when i hit my brakes and also when the car was in motion. I was still hearing the clunking noise coming from the steering column. I have done extensive research and found that many americans around are experiencing the same issues with their brakes and i-shaft. This is a serious concern because last week at one point when i hit my brakes my car was not stopping. I kept hitting it and finally it gave in. This is a serious safety concern and pontiac/gm needs to do something about it before they get the same problems toyota customers have gone through! view website to view customers experiencing the same problems.(http://m.topix.com/forum/autos/pontiac-g6/tg830thjsjtp9bl0t)please do not ignore this complaint..this is a serious issue! do not wait until someone loses their life to this problem. Let's enforce gm to recall this model and car so many americans can stop dishing out hundreds of dollars to fix problems with this car that continues to be a problem once fixed!thank you
2007 pontiac g6 have the same brake lightproblems as the2005 and 2006 cars. Why are the 2007's not included in the recall?
2007pontiac g6have the samebrake light failureas the2005 and 2006 cars why are the 2007s not included in the recall.
Brake lights on when brakes aren't pressed, and go off when pressed. Cruise disengages while driving. Brake switch and relay have been replaced and problem still occurs. Appears to be an electrical issue.
Our 2007 g6 has a safety problem that results in the brake lights being on when the brakes are not applied and off when you apply the brakes. We have also experienced cruise control drop out at speed several times as well as difficulties shifting into drive unless extreme pressure is applied to the brake pedal. All three of these concerns line up with nhtsa campaign id number 09v036000 however our vehicle was built after the recall period. Gm has been notified of the concern but reports that there are not recall notices or service bulletins for this vehicle. All three symptoms indicate that the recalled connector sited in 09v03600 continues to be a safety concern for vehicles manufactured after the recall period of 2005-2006. Related to, but witnessed before, the brake light problems on our vehicle i followed a g6 on i75 north of auburn hills mi that had it's brake lights illuminated while at speed but they turned off when the driver slowed due to traffic. This is a concerning safety problem that must be addressed.
Brake light stay turned on when i press the pedal the turn off but then turn back on. Im sure it the same problem from the 05-06 g6.
Electrical, steering, abs- i've had multiple issues.when i first purchased the car, i heard a thump when turning.no one could find the problem.now its out of warranty and they found that it was the i shaft.in january of 2010, my anti lock break light came on.i had to replace a wheel bearing- $500 later, i thought i was set.i was wrong, another six months later, the check engine light and another light came on.a local gm dealer replaced the ecm control and cleaned the fuel injectors and sent me on my way, $200 later.an hour later, the lights came back on.my car shook awfully.i had another two hour drive until i got home, because i was on vacation when this happened.i took it to my local dealer and they said that some wires had rubbed together, and needed replaced, $300 later, i was sent on my way.this week, i took my car to get an oil change and the men noticed that my ball joint was going out.my tire literally shook in front of my eyes.talk about scary...i got my ball joint/control arm fixed, at a steal of $230 because my friends friend owns a shop and gave me a deal.i did get a quote from a local dealer for $420.in the past year, this car has been nothing but a money pit and it only has 55,000 miles on it.i want out!no more pontiacs for me!
Brake lights reversed on pontiac g6 2007, brakes hard to engage.second time it has happened to my vehicle in less than a year without proper diagnosis or repair.
Dont want to pick up speed hasitates to switch gears,clicking sound when i turn my stearing wheel,all togather runs like '!@#$%.
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!
Passenger window has extremely badwhistle road noise. I have reported this to the dealer 4 times! they cannot seem to fix this issue. As a result, it has rained inside of my vehicle causing both seatbelts to mildew. The dealer has replaced both seatbelts. Also, the brakes have squealed since i bought the car brand new in 2007! the dealer cannot seem to get this taken care of either.
My brake lights aren't working correctly.when i am driving and push the brake the lights to stop they don't turn on, thenwhen i take my foot off the brake and hit the gas (nothing touching the brake pedal) the brake lights are coming on while i am driving and when i got to stop and push down the brake they turn off ... Its like they are working backwards....i have taken it to pontiac dealer a few times and they say nothing is wrong with it.my daughter drove behind me today and witnessed the vehicle doing this for over a 10 mile drive w/ several stop lights in between and cars were slowing down while i was driving cause the brake lights were one when i didn't hit the gas and they thought i was stopped and i had nothing touching the brake pedal!! its dangerous for everyone near me!!!this is like the 3rd or 4th time its happened.i have police officer friends that have noticed it as well, still pontiac refuses to acknowledge the issue. See this website below to see how much it happens!!pontiac refuses to find a fix for it!!go down to post # 24 and read from there like 6-7 pages of complaintshttp://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f6416/10.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and the brake lights stay on when driving down the road and when i hit the brakes the lights go off. People driving behind have no idea when im actually stopping. Also the cruise control will sometimes engage and sometimes it wont. This is a serious problem and pontiac needs to recall the 2007 or someone could get killed.
I have an 07 g6 that is having the same issues with brake lights, cruise, and shifting out of park that the 05-06 g6's are. We've had the brake switch changed twice and it hasn't fixed the problem. Even with the brake switch unplugged the brake lights stay on.

When braking, the lights operate incorrectly.when the brakes are depressed, the lights are off and when the brakes are not pressed, the lights are on.also when this occurs, the cruise controls fails to function.also when this occurs, the brake must be depressed aggressively to shift out of park.this are the symptoms similar to service bulletin 10032206 / sb-08-05-22-009a.

2007 pontiac g6 convertible - brakes squeak and car shakes when brakes applied. Taken to the dealer twice, they sprayed something on them and told me it was because i live in a "humid" state. This has been going on for a year now and it happens daily. The dealer refuses to do anything to correct the problem.
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.
Nhtsa campaign id number: 09v036000 i have the same issue on my 2007 g6.
Automobile purchased as new.rotors not vented properly and were replaced with brake pads at 32,200 miles.insisted that dealer/pontiac corporate handle under warranty.at 32,900 miles car stopped at light and did not advance when accelerator was depressed.the transmission required full replacement because the sprag "blew up" and was covered under power train warranty.will never lease or buy pontiac again.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.while driving 25 mph, the contact heard a popping noise when she depressed the brake pedal.the dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of failure.approximately two days after the inspection, the failure recurred.as of september 5, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle.the powertrain was unknown.the failure mileage was 3,300 and current mileage was 4,300.
My car is a 2007 pontiac g6 v6 that has brakelamp issues.when i drive the brakelamps come on and when i brake, they go off.this has been occurring for over the last 3 months every time that i drive the vehicle.i replaced the brakelight switch, however that has not fixed the problem.
Front rotors poor heat disbursement warped and needed turning @ 20,000 km. Mechanic admits stock rotors are easily warped advised to buy after market rotors in the future.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.when attempting to turn the steering column, the contact heard a loud noise and the steering became difficult to maneuver.there were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failures.in addition, the brake pedal pulsates abnormally when it is depressed.the rotors have been replaced several times.the vehicle has not been inspected to determine the cause of the failure.the manufacturer would not assist because the vehicle exceeded its warranty.the failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 60,000.
Have had on and off issues with brake lights staying on. We have replaced the brake switch behind the brake pedal 3 times and it always goes back to the same problem... The brakes lights are on while driving down the road, but when you depress/tap the brakes they go off and then come back on a few seconds later... And they don't come on when you need them. We have tried pulling the fuses and the relay switch and they still continue to stay on.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the rear brake light failed. The brake light would not illuminate when the brake was depressed, but the brake light would illuminates and remained illuminated when the vehicle was started. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 92,403.
Brake rotors warping after just 7,000 miles, took back to dealer and they cut them. Next time it happened sooner (12,000 miles).should be a recall, brakes shake the front of the car so bad that it practically tears the steering wheel from your hands.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the brakes failed when engaged. The vehicle was inspected by the local dealer who stated that the brakes and swing arm had been fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 53,405.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated the brake lights illuminated when the gear was in park. When the brake pedal was being depressed the light failed to illuminate. The dealer was notified and stated the brake switch needed to be replaced. The brake switch was replaced by the contact but the problem continued to exist. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
2007 pontiac g6. Consumer writes in regards to gmrecall# 13036.* ldthe consumer is seeking reimbursement.
In less than a year i have replace the wheel bearing hub twice on both sides, issues with the abs twice, all at my cost approx. 2000, now this month my brake lights run while driving and turn off when i press on the brakes. Seriously what is going on with the g6.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While the contact was driving approximately 55 mph, the rear brake lights illuminated intermittently and when the brake pedal was engaged the rear brake lights failed to operate.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on three separate occasions where the brake stop light switch and one of the two rear brake light bulbs were replaced at different times. The failure recurred after the repairs. The vehicle had not been repaired for the most recent failure. There was a technical service bulletin related to the similar defect under nhtsa item number 10032206 (service brakes, hydraulic: switches: brake light). The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 79,535.
The brake pedal vibrates when disengaging the car out of park into drive; sometimes it is difficult to get the shifter out of park. The brake lights are constantly on while the car is moving. Then when the brake pedal is pushed, the brake lights turn off. The cruise control does not work either; i believe because the car thinks the brake pedal is being pushed. Updated 8/22/13 also, the cruise control would not engage. However, the light was on the steering wheel.
I bought my 2007 pontiac g6 in august, 2007. Less than three years later i had to have the brake pads, rotors and calipers replaced all the way around. Now, less than two years after having that done i have now have to have my brake pads replaced both front and back and my rotors replaced on the front. Something is seriously wrong with the brakes on the g6s.
Pontiac g6 developed violent vibration when braking at highway speeds. Brake repair shop reported that the rotors had warped due to excessive heat. Also stated this is a frequent problem they see happening every 14,000 to 19,000 miles on many g6's. Further reviews of internet forums show many similar experiences. Brake rotors needed to be turned and will need replacement next time. Informed rotors should be a vented style to help with cooling.
The brake lamps to illuminate when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, and greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of park.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The brake lights also remained illuminated when the brakes were not being engaged. The failure recurred intermittently. In addition, the contact stated that the cruise control engaged and disengaged independently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or a repair shop for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000. The current mileage was 90,000.updated 12-16-13 updated 12/18/13
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the current and failure mileage were 11000.the contact statedwhiletraveling 60 mph on dry road conditions when applyingthe brakes theydid not connect and failed to stop the vehicle.the vehicle then ran into a side rail.
The rear brakes of my 2007 pontiac g6 value leader worn out prematurely.i bough the car in october 2007, as brand new, from a gm dealer in toronto canada. The rear brake pads and rotors had to be replaced by the dealer with new ones, at 23700 km only due to premature wear.
The brake lights on my car come on when i am not pressing the brake.i can be driving and they will come on by themselves, i can tell because the cruise control will dis engage and will not re engage.it took me a while to isolate the problem to the brakes, i had to have someone follow me in order to tell me when it was happening.it poses a safety risk because, you have you brake lights on all the time so cars behind you don't know when you are actually stopping.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact stated that the brakes lights would only illuminate and remain illuminated when depressing the accelerator pedal. The brake lights would not illuminate when applying the brakes. In addition, the rotors and brakes needed replacing at 19,000 miles. The tires were also wearing prematurely. The brake lights were repaired under warranty. There were no further repairs. The vin was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 21, 000.
I purchased a brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in 2008.the passenger side airbag light is always on.i had to replace the brake pads at 20,000 miles and the brakes are still giving me problems.when i turn the steering wheel, the car makes a crackling, loud sound.the headlight plugger had to be replaced due to them being burned out.i am very unhappy with this car.i am a single mother and i am sorry i did not research this car beforehand.i would not recommend this car to anyone.i took the car to the dealer and the price they will charge to fix everything is too expensive for me.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 40 mph, the brakes were engaged and the brake lights failed to illuminate. The contact was aware of nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the manufacturer advised the contact that the vehicle had been previously repaired under the recall.

The failure mileage was 61,000.ma 10/14 the consumer stated the problem could be eliminated if the dealer would comply with the recall. Updated 01/11/16.
Brakes lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 are working incorrectly. The brake lights are one when i'm accelerating and off when i'm actually braking. The shifter is also hard to get out of park and the cruise control works on and off. This is the exact same problem as nhtsa campaign number: 09v-036.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control).

In attempting to slow down on an exit ramp, the brakes locked causing the rear end to fish tail. After trying to maintain control of the car, the car went off the road and struck a cement post where a light pole used to be. The insurance company had to total the car. This also occured about six months ago, when the brakes locked and, fortunately, the car was stopped without damage at that time.
Bought brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in september of 2007. Called dealership complaint of brakes squealing around august 2009. Dealership stated it was due to metallic brakes pads and that it was normal for brakes to squeal. June 2010 out driving noticed steering column shakes at high speeds while slowing down and car was hard to stop. Stopped at nearest gm dealership shortly after. They stated it was due to me stopping to hard on the brakes over time and the rotors have warped due to the excessive heat. Noticed car is still hard to stop at regular driving speeds now. Took car back to dealership where i bought it to inspect and they told me it was my fault again and also it wasn't covered through my warranty due it being normal wear and tear. They didn't even inspect it.the car only has 24,000 miles on it now. It's still hard to stop and shakes horribly when slowing down at high speeds. Concerned for my safety, my child's safety, and other drivers safety.
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.
Brake lights stay on even with no pressure on the brake pedal.the cruise will not stay engaged when this happens.people following me have told me i should not ride my brake as they can't tell when i am going to stop.the brake lights staying on is intermittent, it can happen with the car in park and at various speeds. This is a safety concern.my research has identified that there has been many complaints for this and that a recall is available for 2005 & 2006, our 2007 has the same problem and needs to be included in the recall.
The service esc light came on,brake lights failed along with disabling the stability track, and cruise control.
While driving down the highway, i attempted to engage the cruise control, and it would not set.later that evening, i noticed in my rear-view mirror that the brake lights were very bright while driving down the street.i tapped on the brake pedal, and the lights went out.a couple seconds later, the bright brake lights came back on.i tapped on the brake pedal again, and the bright brake lights went out.i pressed on the brake pedal again, but the brake lights did not come on.i have researched this problem on numerous auto forums and have found several different fixes for this issue.i believe that this is a serious safety issue because vehicles following my would not know if i have applied my brakes to slow down or stop.
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 1/16/082.replaced right visor for mirror on passenger side of car 1/16/083.replaced broken cable for right rear window regulator on 3/14/084.replaced steering column on 7/28/085.replaced front brakes with high end pads estimated date 8/086.replaced rear left bulb for brake lights estimated date 10/087.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 1/20/09also 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.
When brakes are applied, vibrations travel through steering column. The vehicle can not stop suddenly if required due to loss of control of the vehicle.
Nhtsa campaign id number: 09v036000 unfortunately does not cover 2007 model year pontiac g6 vehicles and i am experiencing the exact same issue. This is a safety hazard with the potential for major injury. The brake lights come on at random and turn off when the brake pedal is pressed. From your own bulletin:brake lamps that are not operating properly may not warn a driver in a following vehicle of the braking status and could lead to a crash without prior warning.all pontiac g6 models should be included due to the safety issue at hand.
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.
I bought my 2007 pontiac g6 feb. 2007.just about a week ago (june 2, 2010) i was told my brake lights were on when i wasn't braking.when i do brake, the brake lights go off.i took my car to the dealer and they said it was the brake switch.well, it's not.i am still having the same problem and i need to take it back to get it fixed.this is dangerous to myself and other drivers.there should be a recall on this problem for all 2007 pontiac g6's.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact noticed a vibration in the steering wheel while driving between 55-70 mph.the dealer stated there was no warranty on the vehicle and the issue was considered normal wear and tear.the dealer also stated that a vented rotor was needed in order to keep it cooler.the contact replaced the rotors with a factory model.two months later, the rotors began to pulsate again.the vibration could be felt through the steering wheel.the failure mileage was 29,000.
Exterior brake lights illuminate when not pressing the brake pedal. Exterior brake lights shut off when pressing on the brake pedal.
I had noticed that the steering wheel would shake while in a stopped position at traffic lights and then there was a chime while driving at 70mph on the interstate and i noticed the radio readout indicated an alarm of power steering.it would reset if i turned key off and on at first, but now it will not allow the power steering to work at all.i called a toll free number that i had found online for pontiac recalls and spoke to an operator.he took the last eight digits of my vin and returned a short time later and said that there were no existing recalls for my vehicle.i have almost 194,000 miles on this vehicle now and purchased it when it had about 163,000 miles on it.the previous owner told me that they had responded to all recall notices associated with the car, but he couldn't remember if it was ever for power steering.if it was previously repaired, it did not last very long. I have read that there were recalls for all of the g6 years except for the 2007, but i also saw a youtube video from 2015 that said that gm had recalled the 2007 chevy malibu and pontiac g6 so i do not know what is accurate.
Got in my car, started it , i no longer had power steering. This actually started happening intermittently at around 50000 miles. I have heard of it going out on people while driving down the highway. Someone will get killed in an accident if this happens.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, the power steering light warning light would illuminate and the a chime will be heard inside of the vehicle. The dealer was contacted and stated that there was a short circuit in the power steering motor. No repairs were made. The failure mileage was 46000 and the current mileage was 47000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 55-60 mph, the steering assist warning indicator illuminated and the steering seized. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that an alignment was needed. The alignment was performed, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v046000 (steering). The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6. On at least 5 occasions i have lost my power steering. Usually while backing out of a parking spot. It also happened once when i went over a frost heave. This has all been within the last month.last night i went over another frost heave and my service air bag came on. It stayed on the next 4-5 times i drove my car. It finally shut off this afternoon.
I was driving my 2007 pontiac g6 when the steering wheel locked up. On my screen for my radio it said "power steering". Thank goodness i was only going 10 mph in my driveway because i could not have controlled it if i was going faster. My daughter and boyfriend were in the car with me and it scared me because had i wrecked, my daughter may have suffered injuries. I am not driving my car until i get this problem fixed. I have called around and found that there is a recall on g4's and g5's but not g6's. I have read so many online forums about people having the same problems with their g6's. I think gm needs to step up and take responsibility of this before somebody seriously gets hurt. It is an expensive repair (about 1,000$) and with the economy the way it is people just do not have the money to fix that. I am so scared that i will cause a wreck because of my car being faulty and someone else may cause a wreck and run into me or my family because of their faulty g6. I am in the process of getting my car serviced but would really appreciate it if i found out how to get ahold of gm and ask them to fix my car because i have only had it for 6 months.
The vehicle turned off when the steering column was turned completely. This of which put myself, as well as other drivers, in jeopardy. Luckily, this occurred in a parking lot with no other cars around. If this occurred on a highway turn-around or under different circumstances, many people could have been injured or killed.
Transmission , when shifting into park it will sometimes not go into park and the car will roll backwards or clanking noise happens. Also when u take the car out of park it will not go into reverse!! steering, when making turns there something going on it wants to drift and makes a noise! airbag sensor comes on and goes off by itself even with a passenger in the seat says airbag system not working these are all recalls but says my vin# isnt part of the recall! but vehicle doing everything thats it says in the recall
We first started having problems with this vehicle 2 weeks ago. Started the car and the power steering indicator came on and we had no power steering. We shut the vehicle off and turned it back on and it worked. It would work off and on for awhile but as of the last few days there is no power steering at all. I called gm. They are saying our vin is not included.this is a bunch of crap.the 2007 g6's were added for this problem just a couple weeks ago. I see there are several complaints about this and gm needs to do something before there are more crashes or deaths from this issue. It is very unsafe to drive. They gm dealership gave me an estimate of $600 to fix this. We do not have this kind of money to spend especially when it is something that gm should have been paying for all along. I am beyond done with gm if they don't rectify the situation.
Purchased the vehicle with under 15k miles approx early to mid 2008.has been very difficult to steer since a couple months after purchasing.was told by a mechanic at an inspection there is something wrong in thesteering column.acts as if it does not have power steering and it sometimes takes several attempts to make a turn into a parking stall.power steering and all other related equipment tested fine.recent recall involving this issue included cars before and after mine.i also reported electronic problems and messages which i was just notified about in recall 13036 this week "after" complaining of a problem for several yearsmy vehicle has the identical problems as those with the steering column issue previously recalled. I am in hopes you will be revisiting the steering column issue and the possibility that it may involve additional vehicles.it is practically impossible to steer at times and happens sporadically without notice.car just hit 80,000 so wear and tear/excessive driving is not an issue.has happened as low as 5 mph and as high as 65 mph.
I started my car and went to put it in reverse. I then found i had no power steering. I shut the car off, waited several minutes and tried again. The power steering then worked.
Safety issue. Steering extremely incapacitated and leaking fluid. Happened after being stationary overnight. Front wheels were turned slightly while parked overnight.
Driving down the i75 expressway in heavy rain speed at the time was approx 60 miles per hour, decided to get of at the next exit until the rain cooled down.i then turned by steering wheel slightly to the right to merge onto the exit lane when the car instantly started spinning out of control...spun 5-7 times on the highway and then hit the median with the right tail end. Upon impact the steering wheel along with part of the steering column snapped off into my lap with no air bag deployment.the steering wheel was in pulled right out and was now in my lap.the car is now in repair and i have requested the parts to be saved, the steering wheel is going to be replaced.i have contacted pontiac and we had a discussion...but i don't think they understand what happened i have not heard a word from them since the discussion.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the power steering would continuously fail when pulling into a residential parking space or pulling out of a tight spot at low speed.the power steering would then reset itself once the vehicle was turned off and then restarted. The dealer recalibrated the power steering motor assembly and advised that the entire power steering motor assist would need to be replaced if the failure persisted. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 36,500.
I bought my 2007 pontiac g6 in april 2007 by sept 08 there was a steering issue that resulted in a new rack & pinion being put in by the dealership. Since then the car has had another rack & pinion replaced & a steering shaft replacement. Now it feels as if the same problem is occurring & the dealership nor gm motors wants to help because the car is out of warranty.i feel this is a ongoing issue that needs to be addressed with this year model car.
Loss of power steering.a chime and warning will occur, but power steering may still work at times.then without warning there will be no power steering.i took the car in and the dealer stated that they do not know the reason.i had noticed that nhtsa peo7023 has documented this problem.so i brought this to the dealers attention and they stated that it probably falls into the reasoning stated in above action number.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 5 mph, the steering wheel locked abnormally with the illumination of the power steering warning light. The contact stated that steering control was severely limited but she was able to drive to her place of residence using extreme bodily force. The dealer was contacted and advised that they would tow the vehicle in for testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 46,889.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while turning, the vehicle would exhibit a rubbing noise in the steering column. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the stub shaft needed to be lubricated. Additionally, the sir coil was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,371 and current mileage was 61,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel vibrated, the steering wheel seized, and the power steering warning indicator illuminated.

I purchased my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder with 40k on the odometer on 5/13/2021. I notice right away it started having problem when i drove it home and it has been almost three weeks now and the problem is intermitten. This issue happens on local road city speed (25mph) and on highway doing highway speed (60mph) intermittently. When this issue occurs the steering wheel shake like crazy and it seems like it wants to pull over to the left or the right (feels like the car wants to drive itself). I would have to put some force to keep the steering wheel straight. The error code would pop up on the radio display stating "power steering". There was a recall for this issue for the electronic power steering assist. The problem is that the recall expired 6/31/2006 and my car is made on 7/2006 so the vin number does not fall in the recall list. The situation is dangerous and this issue need to be address. This recall should extend to all 2005-2010 pontiac g6 with electronic power steering not just pick and choose which year can be on the recall list. This is ridiculous because gm know this problem and they don't care enough to do what they are supposed to do..obviously i have no dealer warranty since the vehicle is 14 years old so a recall would help since the manufacturer is 110% at fault. Gm should included more years on this recall list.. The amount gm dealer wants to fix the problem is ridiculous. Please help.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 25 mph, the steering began pulling to one side. The steering wheel also began shaking and would lock sporadically.the check engine and check power steering warning lights were illuminated. The failure would occur at various speeds intermittently and progressively worsened. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While operating the vehicle, the steering wheel suddenly began to shake. Eventually, the power steering malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rubber power steering hose melted from the hot exhaust and power steering fluid leaked out. The vehicle was repaired. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was 82,000.
The power steering light was blinking on the console off and on since i bought the car (march 2013). The power steering would shake, make clicking noises (i had repeatedly called the place i bought the car at and they said since the car was bought used and they are not a service station it was not their problem). The power steering went completely out. I had to turn off the car to get it to reset. The power steering has been going out off and on since jan. 2014. I saw on the news that gm was recalling power steering for the g6s but only on some not all. If you investigate online..this is a huge issue with all models of pontiac g6. I called gm at the time of the recall and they said that if my car was included in the recall i would receive a notice. Well i haven't received that notice to date and this is definitely a problem since this car is doing the exact same thing that the recall states for the other years...this problem is definitely affecting the 2007 g6 as well as all of the other years. Its completely unsafe to drive these vehicles on the road!
I've had several problems (4) to where my power steering will go out. I wouldn't be able to turn my steering wheel properly. I've had to get this fix multiple of times and decided to check and see if there was a recall on my vehicle for it. I don't see it so i decided to right a review about it. I hope this helps someone else not just me that fears for this to happen to them. Also, the driver (front) and brake/reverse lights has went out. I can't seem to get anyone that knows how to fix my brake/reverse lights. I've got my driver side fixed several time as well and it still tends to go out on me.
Reported clicking noise to dealership when making a sharp turn while backing up at 8355 miles - dealership checked - vehicle was operating within manufactures spec.at13313 miles reported a clunking noise when steering during slow driving and turning - dealership replaced intermediate steering and lubed.at 24008 miles reported a clicking noise again - dealership could not find anything wrong. At 27987 miles reported clicking noise again - dealership lubed all points of the steering per gm.at 36041 miles reported clicking and popping noise - dealership replaced the power steering rack.the problem never went away and the warranty had expired.i am currently at 65000 miles and the clunking noise is getting louder, it can be felt thru the steering wheel, and can now be heard outside of the vehicle.what am i to do?no one seems be able to repair this problem and there are no recalls.since this is a steering problem, isn't this a safety hazard?
Noticed a knock when turning either left or right at 40,000 had noticed that the front right tire was wearing much faster than the others.i took it to the dealer at 44,000 since the knocking seemed to be worse they advised me the steering shaft needs replaced costing me $369.00 total parts & labor since not under warranty. Have looked up the steering issues and they are very common in the pontiac g6 i feel that this should be a recalled item as it can be very dangerous.

My car wheel has been locking up..and says i have no power steering. After research, every car for pontiac g6 2005-2008 there has been this problem. It covered every year and skipped over mine! the wheel unlocks after hours time, but with no power steering and two small children its very scary on a highway. Especially if it unlocks in a turn. When i called pontiac they wanted me to pay for service to be looked at and pay for the part, and i might possibly get my money back.from what i found out on the wheel, its a sensor and has to be replaced. As you know in this economic times, a part that's 500.00 is not in my budget. I thought i bought this car thinking it would be safe. And i know i am not the only pontiac g6 owner who has had this problem. Please help me get a recall on this.

I was on my way to work. Started out fine. Drove for 5 minutes. Turned right on red, thank god there were no cars, as soon as i accelerated going 10 miles my steering wheel locked up, the power steering light went on, just aboutimpossible to continue the turn. Almost went into the median. It took every bit of strength i had to turn the wheel. I have been researching this & am seeing this is a serious problem with many g6 owners. I am deeply concerned about this defect because i have my grandkids in the car with me often. This is serious enough for a recall. This defect is going to cause fatalities.there is no warning before it happens. I am so angry that they are putting peoples lives in danger. I do not feel safe in my car anymore. I also travel twice a week on the expressway & the exit i use curves with a 35 foot drop and no barricade, guess what happens when i'm coming off the expressway & can't turn the wheel!
For a while name the dash would read power steering but the wheel wouldn't be hard to turn but i would be in park and it would be turning by its self. I would cut the car off but it would be ok start it back up be problem other night it did it again while parked cit the car off started it back up started to head home and it did it again and i was on the highway and the wheel started turning and pulling on it's on almost wrecked. *dt
As the vehicle was being driven. It lost all power steering and steering got extremely firm and could barely get to the side of road without being struck by another vehicle. Shut vehicle off waited restarted it. Steering wheel then vibrated or back and forth visibly drove a little more same incident again. This repeated till vehicle made it home and has sat since then. Contacted gm they refuse to fix the safety issue even after recall was released. Contacted them multiple times always refusing to fix issue.
My 2007 g6 is displaying an error message on odometer reading and power steering message on the radio. I suffer from panic attacks while driving, therefore there is not many miles on my vehicle. Less than 24k to be exact. I purchased this vehicle brand new. I am very concerned.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.while driving approximately 60 mph the power steering failed. The vehicle became very difficult to steer and she attempted to engaged the hazard lights but they would not come on. All the lights on the dashboard illuminated. The vehicle began to accelerated, decreased speed and the rpms increased. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic. The vehicle had not been checked by the mechanic when the complaint was filed. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were 124,000.
Lost power steering when entering a round-a-bout. Pulled over and shut down the engine. Power steering worked after restart. In the following weeks power steering was lost several times. Gm dealer replaced the torque sensor assembly at a cost of $551. Informed me that the date of vehicle manufacture is not part of the current recall.
The vehicle loses power steering assist at speeds below 20mph within 200 miles after being repaired. Once lost, power steering assist remains off and it takes brute strength to steer making it totally unsafe. Also, there are no warning indicators or check engine lights on the dashboard when this problem occurs. The dealership can't seem to fix it, so it seems a part in the power steering may be defective.
Takata recall, i have a 2007 pontiac g6 base model. It has 110,756 miles and it breaking down badly. The gear shift, transmission and steering wheel control all started to mess up around the same time. My friends father had the same exact car a few years ago and said that they have a transmission problem and to call the dealership and/or the manufacturer to find a solution to my problem.

Called gm because i seen where the nhtsa had a recall on all 2007 pontiac g6 for steering:electric power assist system recall# 15v064000 with recall date: 2/4/2015 but when i called gm they said they dont see a recall for my car even though i am having this same issue and the nhtsa has recalled this problem for vehicles like mine. Was very unhappy with the way gm treated me about this matter. Also want to know why gm has so much information about the steering recall and when i call dealer to have it fixed they dont see the recall on my car
Hearing a popping noise everytime i turn left....getting worse....took to get new tires and brakes and was told i needed to take to pontiac to find out what the noise was...(.had it in at pontiac in 2008 for steering)...i paid $95 labor for them to tell me that the steering gear was faulty...my car has low mileage,it is well maintained and the steering gear is faulty..i called pontiac customer service about this and was told that there was no recall on the steering and i was responsible for the repair...in my search for more information on this i found that i am not alone and that there seems to be a lot of us g6 owners out there that have problems with the steering .....is this not a safety hazard......from what i have read i would say so....i feel its time to demand a recall for steering issues with the g6, there is a great chance they will lock up or you may loss you steering all together from what i have read from other complaints.....when i asked the mechanic at pontiac if it was safe to drive his answerer was ...."i don't know".....what an answer to give to some that is about to pull out of your lot.....really
The power steering assist goes out at random times.have nearly crashed several times because of this!other 2007 pontiac g6's are covered under recall 14772, but this car is not.the exact thing described in this recall is ocurring with this car!
When driving my pontiac g6 there appears to be a slight clunk coming from the front steering system. On turns the same clunk happens and you can feel it ever so slightly on the steering wheel. The steering is very tight while driving but as soon as i'm stopped it loosens up noticeably. After doing some research about the car i've found that this model is a candidate for a recall involving the u-joints, which seems to be where the clunk is occurring from.
My daughter purchased a 2007 pontiac g6 with 24,000 miles on it and it now has 39,000 miles.sometime within those 13,000 miles it has developed a clunking noise whenever the steering wheel is turned most noticeably at low speeds.i have pinpointed the noise to be coming from the steering box or steering shaft.i am afraid that this will lead to steering control failure if this problem is not corrected soon. I am aware that many other people are experiencing the same problem.please have gm issue a recall on this year model pontiac g6 as soon as possible.

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.

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!
This was the first occurrence of steering problems - a thumping noise when turning left and accelerating - intermediate steering shaft, it was replaced under warranty. On 07-18-2012. I was driving the car when i felt it would not properly turn- had to force steering wheel. On 07-19-2012 my wife was drivingand the car would not make a 130 degree right turn. She wound up in the opposing lane of traffic. The car was repaired the next day, the steering rack gear had to be replaced. This vehicle had only 39,002 miles on the odometer. The car was never in an accident and was very well maintained. I talked to customer service at general motors, pontiac division because i feel this should not happen with such low mileage. I asked for some reimbursement, which they refused, but the most important thing is to get this reported. I hope this gets looked into and perhaps a life saved. Thank you
My steering wheel suddenly gets hard to move. It happens when im on the freeway going 60+ mph and my power steering pump just completely goves out. I can pull over and turn my car off and back on and it stops doing it til i get back up to the speed limit. I was told by a repair shop that my power steering was covered by a gm recall, and i cant get anyone to find the recall information. My concern is why is it just a few makes recalled if the entire year of that make and model are faulty.
While driving to work one day i noticed my steering wheel start to rattle while sitting still at a red light. Later i began feeling the steering wheel jerk to the left. These problems have only gotten worse and this is very dangerous. It is a struggle to drive to work and back trying to keep my car in line. It now swerves both ways and sometimes will not go straight. I have taken it to gm but there was no recall for my make and model. I have read about numerous others with these exact same problems and would really appreciate some sort of answer.

Sudden lose of power steering. After car starts up, power steering is present, however after vehicle is moving, sudden lose of the power steering occurs and notifications on dashboard. Gm states this is not related to nhtsa bulletin 15v064000, however it is for the same exact make, model, year, and part that is affected. The gm recall number is 14772. This is a major safety concern as i can no longer rely on the vehicle to drive as expected without knowing when the power steering will be lost.

While driving on the highway my electronic power steering service alarm went off and the eps message showed up on my clock panel. Right after,my eps suddenly turnedoff and stopped working. Steering my wheel is extremely hard to do. I'm lucky it didn't cause an accident, but because of its sudden malfunction, it very well could have. I don't even feel safe in my pontiac g6 anymore.
Bought brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in september of 2007. Called dealership complaint of brakes squealing around august 2009. Dealership stated it was due to metallic brakes pads and that it was normal for brakes to squeal. June 2010 out driving noticed steering column shakes at high speeds while slowing down and car was hard to stop. Stopped at nearest gm dealership shortly after. They stated it was due to me stopping to hard on the brakes over time and the rotors have warped due to the excessive heat. Noticed car is still hard to stop at regular driving speeds now. Took car back to dealership where i bought it to inspect and they told me it was my fault again and also it wasn't covered through my warranty due it being normal wear and tear. They didn't even inspect it.the car only has 24,000 miles on it now. It's still hard to stop and shakes horribly when slowing down at high speeds. Concerned for my safety, my child's safety, and other drivers safety.

I was driving on the freeway and went to switch lanes to the left and the car made a dinging noise and it was extremely hard to make the turn as i normally could. I looked at the display and the power steering was on the screen . When i finally made it to my destination, and cut the car off upon restarting it the power steering came back. Upon returning home that night power steering was working fine and when i went to turn from off the freeway to city streets, i almost hit a car in the far left lane of oncoming traffic because once again the power steering went out. For about two weeks the power steering could be reset by restarting the car and then finally it went out completely. What i do notice is that if my wheel is turned at 180 degrees it has no shake and i can back up and never lose power steering but as soon as i turn it left or right it locks up and the power steering goes out again. I was told i need to replace the entire steering column as well as pay for programming to get my key to work to the new column. I am extremely frustrated as gm has recalled my year make and model but my vin number isn't listed in the recall. I hope this is fixed soon as i have done investigation and to fix this out of pocket it will cost around $750.00.
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 isnot 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 06/28/13updated 07/2/2013
2007 pontiac g6 consumer seeking reimbursement according to the repair invoice, the power steering hose, power steering pump and steering gear were replaced.
My power steering is going out. It works but goes out after driving for a little bit. Or doesn't work when the car is started. Restarting the car is a temporary fix. The wheel also jerks back and forth when still. I see this is recalled for a 07 pontiac g6 but not for my vin.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the yoke in the steering column was in play. If the yoke were to fracture, there would be a loss of steering control. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called brown buick gmc (4300 s georgia st, amarillo, tx 79110, (806) 353-7211) and was informed that there were no recalls associated with the vin. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The failure began when the vehicle was purchased three years ago. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14e044000 (steering). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 176,000.

1. I bought a pontiac g6 less than two months ago.2. About 1 month ago i started hearing and feeling a clunking sound coming from the steering wheel, column or steering rack.
During operation all supporting electrical power steering failed, leaving driver unable to steer vehicle, i note that other vehicles have been recalled for same issues during the close production period.

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'slike 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.
The power steering will go out, going down the road or just sitting still. The steering wheel will shake like crazy. It will stay out until you get pulled off or stop turn the car off and then restart the car. These vehicles have electric power steering there isn't any place to add power steering. It's a fault. I have owned 2 g6 and they have both had an issue, i had an '09 and now have a '07 both with the same power steering issue. It's a major safety hazard, to yourself and fellow drivers.
I have been receiving power steering warnings on my dash so i could my car to the dealer.the dealer told me that the power steering assist motor with column needs to be replaced and the cost would 1200.00.why isn't a recall on the 2007 g6 because it is the same problem that 2006 has?i don't know what i am going to do because i'm on a fixed income and can't afford that.again i would like to know why there is not a recall?pontiac knew that 2007 had the same problem that the 2006 has.
I was driving with my son in the car and the power steering went out while driving. There was a dinging and the words power steering cam up on my screen. This happen twice in a 1 mile. The week prior to this happening i would start the car and a dinging would happen. It said power steering on the screen and i could not move the steering wheel. These cars need to be recalled this is extremely dangerous!!!
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact stated that the vehicle lost power steering with the power steering light illuminated. The steering wheel was very hard to turn.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the power steering column needed to be replaced.there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 14v153000(steering); however, the vin was not included.

The power steering has also failed when the warning light was not on. The failure mileage was 40,000. The current mileage was 52000.
The power steering would not work upon starting the car and we would need to turn the car off and on again to get the power steering to work. After about a week of this happening my husband was driving home from work and the power steering completely stopped working. We contacted gm to see if our car was included in the recall but they said our vin number was not and that we would need to pay out of pocket for the repairs. So indeed that is what we did but we are quite unhappy that we have the exact problem indicated on the recall but we need to pay out of pocket because our vin number is not included.
As i attempted to turn left the steering was difficult to turn and the gas wasn't accelerating correctly and suddenly took off and crashed into a vehicle ahead of me.
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" physicalforces, 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.
The power steering went out on my 2007 pontiac g6.the vehicle was traveling at low speeds.it went out repeatedly.the power steering went out when turning the wheel more than approximately 15 degrees.the steering wheel tightened before going out and was followed by a vehicle alert that the power steering was lost.power steering was recovered when turning off the car and turning it back on.however, steering continued to go out.it has since been intermittent and does not go out once exceeding approx 15-20 miles per hour.

I purchased my g-6 used.immediately i noticed a popping in the steering.it seemed to get worse. I took the car back to the place i purchased it.they stated that is normal for electric assist steering.i went to the gmc dealer, they stated they could not find a problem.the clunking got so bad, i returned to the gmc dealer at which time they said that the steering assembly et al had to be replaced.they replaced it under a factory warranty at that time approximately 1 year ago.about 1 month ago, the same thing started again.they told me again, nothing is wrong.the steering clunks, feels like it sticks and is very hard to control the car. I just hope that no one is seriously injured because gmc/pontiac will not do a recall to change the system to a better safer design.
Sudden loss of power steering while in motion.unable to turn more than a few degrees in each direction.very unsafe.
Power steering faulted out in my car with no warning. Car was parked thank god car started gave power steering fault steering wheel would not move and car would not either. Taken to shop when kicked back in after restarting car 9 times. Parked at dealership then did not move since had to be towed to another dealership to have diagnostics done.steering wheel shook really bad while driving and sitting still until it stopped working all together at the dealership. If this would have happened while driving it could have been really bad.this happened with no warning at all went to start my vehicle and just happened. Vehicle has been fixed i am looking for reimbursement due to recall infomation assocciated with this issue.

Brake lights go on when pedal is not pressed, goes off when you step on the brake. Also, cruise control shuts off automatically while driving or will not engage at all.
Power steering issues and it states it on my radio screen the moment i put it in reverse.also my check engine light keeps coming on,while on i have issues rolling up/down my power windows.
Takata recall for about a month now my vehicle has been randomly dying.i was on the highway when suddenly everything locked up i couldn't stop, couldn't brake, the engine seized and i was unable to restart the car.the steering wheel was moving in both directions by itself, then locked up.i had to get out and push the car into a safe place and was unable to re-start it.
Steering wheel locked while driving, "power steering" flashed across the dashboard, i had to try and avoid other cars and slow down while turning the steering wheel with all of my strength, but it would barely move and the car veered left still.
Just out of nowhere one day while i was driving i made a stop at a stop light and suddenly when i resumed driving the light indicating 'power streering' came on and my power steering was no longer working. Now the power steering works intermittently but only after the car is turned off then back on and only works for a short time. I feel like it's getting worse the longer the problem consists .
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that there had been multiple failures with the repairs from the authorized dealer and that the vehicle was sold with a damaged tire.

I was driving on the highway at 65mph when i heard the ringing sound on my dashboard indicating power steering. The steering was blocked. Because it was on a straightroad i was able to pull over by the road side. I turned off the engine and restarted the car. I am having to do this everyday when the power steering light turns on. When the power steering light is on the steering is blocked, i cant turn the car. Fromdecember 20 2014 till this day, this occurs about 4 to 5 times a day with my car.
Upon starting vehicle, after making first turn, power steering goes out. Usually occurs during cold weather. Power steering may return momentarily after car is shut off and restarted.

Loud constant clunking noise two weeks prior to incident pulling out of my garage and vehicle would not turn left or right no matter what,after turning ignition off and on numerous times i finally was able to get vehicle back in garage after doing some research on these cars they are known for having power steering and suspension problems also these vehicles have been in numerous auto crashes because of this! this vehicle also only has 70,000 miles on it there is no recall on this vehicle whatsoever,why is that?because obviously someone at gm dropped the ball!!! i am in the military and i am by no means financially able to continue to dump monies on a vehicle that gm should repair at no costs that has safety issues!!!
The steering on the g6 is hard and often incapacitated.make loud noises and even though the power steering fluid has been flushed, replaced, and refilled it is still happening.my teenage daughters drive this car and it is unsafe.this needs to be addressed immediately via a recall notice!
My power steering froze while driving on the freeway.this has happened two more times since this incident.
I am 16 yrs old and i was driving my car through town..it chimed a noise and showed power steering on dash! steering wheel locked up. Scared me i couldn't do anything, but slam on the brakes.!
When turning slowly my car makes a clunking sound that i have found out to be the rack and pinion. I had it replaced and it is already doing it again. I have heard that this is a safety issue and to bring up my situation to you.thanks
Well one the electrical is so messed up that i have to drive with brights on i keep putting new lights in and nothing works... The last incident i had my 3 boys with me and i went to turn out of gas station and my power steeringcompletely went out and come to find out it uses no power steering fluid and i had a guy tell me it was on recall for those reasons and i still owe on this car and car lot will not help me.

I hate my g6!!!! i am so disappointed and will never buy a pontiac of gm car again. First of all my power steering goes out everytime it rains causing me to have to stop my car in the middle of the road and nearly get into a serious injury accident. Next, my passenger head light has been replaced at least 20 times ive had the entire head light itself replaced ive had wiring replaced and it wont seem to last for more than a month or two... My radio stays on sometimes after i have shut my car off and taken my key out and opened my door, what the heck! and lve had some weird clicking noise i have no idea what it is. And lastly, now everytime i turn on my car my trunk opens up!?! ughhhh!!!!!!!!!

I was turning my 07 pontiac g6 going approximately 10-15 mph and the whole steering system locked up, thankfully no one was in the other lane while turning since my turn now had to be wide. I also noticed that the display said "power steering", i pulled car over to the side and turned hazard lights on. I made a phone call to my brother who told me to try to get to the nearest parking lot, i was extremely upset at this time as even driving straight to the nearest lot was hard for me to control at a low speed. I made it and physically could not turn car into a spot. My brother came to pick me up. The car was turned off for about a half hour, when he restarted the car the power steering seemed to work again, as i was afraid to drive home, he drove it home for me which was about a half hour away. Turning to the right feels like it wants to give out again. I contacted gm pontiac who said to take it to the dealer to have inspected. Today i took in and waiting for a call back from the service center. I have read multiple complaints regarding same issue and i am truly afraid to drive car as this is bound to happen again, i have 3 children that i will not put in car now until something is done. Gm needs to take responsibility for the defective product that they made. As of right now they are telling me no recall on this year and model. Service person at the dealer said some vin# are included in the other model/year recalls he would have to check mine. Something needs to be done before lives are lost due to this. I paid my car off upfront when i purchased it and do not feel the need to pay for it again. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
When i start my car, i lose electric power steering and i am unable to turn the steering wheel of my car.when i restart my car, i regain power steering.however, pontiac g6 models 2005-2006 were recalled, followed by 2008-2009 models.2007 was not recalled, but clearly i am experiencing the same problem.this is a safety issue.if i lose power steering while my car is in motion, i will put myself and everyone on the road in danger.pontiac g6 2007 should be recalled for the same issue before these cars cause any more casualties or accidents.
When steering wheel is started making a whining noise.. Checked power steering fluid, added power steering fluid & steering became stiff almost unturnable. About 40 miles later rechecked power steering fluid n it wasn't reading on the dipstick again. Then noticed something leaking under vehicle on the driver's side kinda close to wheel. Almost thinking the pump has a hole or something in it. I'm not for sure on that but will probably b bring it to a mechanic tomorrow to get it checked out.
We have a clunking in the front end of this piece of crap while turning. We have replaced the strut & spring assembly and sway bars in the front, as well asthe rear shocks. Now its getting hard to turn and appears to be the power steering or a steering shaft issue. Also the passenger side airbag light is now on after the fuse for the cruise control blew, replaced fuse and still remains on. I purchased this car for my 16 year old daughter and now feel its a death trap, there appears to be numerous problems with this car and no recalls. How would you feel if it was your child driving it, or yourself for that matter. You really need to get it together and do something!!!
Power stirring went out suddenly causing the car to shake and not respond properly to driver operation. Other males have had issue but 2007 g6 hard top convertible didn't make that list, even though many other owners have had this safety issue on same model and year.
While driving, lose ability to turn the wheel. Will get chatter as well as loud bang on occasion. This has happened a few times in the past 2 weeks and recently while my 18 yr old son (his car) was driving on the highway pulling off an exit going 45 mph and thankfully was able to slow down and avoid other cars. Car has sat since waiting for a mechanic too look at it, will have to pay for it to be towed. Very dangerous and looks to be a common issue but for some reason, not part of recall for 2006 and 2008. Car has approx 107k miles on it. Gm should do the right thing by their customers if they want to keep them. Obviously a defect in steering whcih they have owned up to for other years..
I own a 2007 pontiac g6 gt coupe,been having steering problems ever since i bought the car. Dealers refuse to acknowledge it.
I bought a brand new 2008 pontiac g6 base model 4 door 2.4l. At less than 20,000 miles i started getting brake problems. I brought it into the dealership and they told me that i needed the brakes turned and grinned. I refused to let them do that because other pontiac g6 owners have complained about the same issues and when they got theirs turned and grinned the same problems with the brakes occurred thereafter. Now (@24,000) i have warped brakes, worn out pads, and a defective worn out i-shaft(steering rod). I brought my car in to the dealership last week, they replaced one of the rotors in the rear, replaced all pads and grinned and turned the rest of the rotors. They claimed my car was fixed but the second i drove out of the dealership the same warping noise was apparent coming from the brakes when i hit my brakes and also when the car was in motion. I was still hearing the clunking noise coming from the steering column. I have done extensive research and found that many americans around are experiencing the same issues with their brakes and i-shaft. This is a serious concern because last week at one point when i hit my brakes my car was not stopping. I kept hitting it and finally it gave in. This is a serious safety concern and pontiac/gm needs to do something about it before they get the same problems toyota customers have gone through! view website to view customers experiencing the same problems.(http://m.topix.com/forum/autos/pontiac-g6/tg830thjsjtp9bl0t)please do not ignore this complaint..this is a serious issue! do not wait until someone loses their life to this problem. Let's enforce gm to recall this model and car so many americans can stop dishing out hundreds of dollars to fix problems with this car that continues to be a problem once fixed!thank you

While driving on a residential street the power steering message came across the message board and the steering became hard to maneuver. I pulled into a auto parts parking lot and turned off the car when i turn the car back on the power steering was restored. This has happened multiple times since the first occurrence i have called pontiac and asked about recall information only to be told that my vin number is not included in any open recalls.i feel unsafe driving the vehicle sometimes the steering wheel vibrates and turns by itself while the car is idling.
Brakes, and brake rotors have been replaced numerous times. Too many electrical malfunctions to mention. Today, my wife said her power steering light came on. It scares me that she has to drive my son to school in this car.i have researched this vehicle, and found numerous safety issues with other owners as well. I have contacted the different dealers for help, to no avail. Why isn't there a recall yet?
As i was driving on a main road at about 55mph, a "power steering" message displayed on the driver information center and a chime sounded. Steering control was then manual and i had to exert great force to steer at lower speeds. I figured right away that my power steering had gone out since i could not turn easily. I immediately chose to pull over to avoid putting myself or anyone else at harm. Since then, the power steering goes in and out. It has happened at all speeds (parked at 0mpgh, at 70mph, at 25mph, etc.). It is not safe and i am hoping nhtsa can help me get this resolved.i have taken extremely good care of my vehicle which has 120,000 miles on it and have a perfect driving record. I searched for a recall via my vin # only to find out that gm isn't recalling the power steering on my vehicle. I can't understand why since there is a recall for just about every other type of pontiac g6, including 2007. Where do i go from here? i don't have the money to get this fixed right now and don't want to put myself or others at harm.

When traveling at about 25-30 mph 3 beeps were heard and a message on the dash said power steering.right after that there was a total loss of the powersteering.when the car ignition was shut off and the car restarted powersteering was restored for up to 10-20 miles.then the beeps were again heard and message again appeared and the powersteering went out again. On again off again. We had to operate the vehicle in this mode for a number of months.finally it was too dangerous to operate and the vehicle has been parked for 2 months. 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.[xxx], 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 must have the car repaired 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 available 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.request that nhtsa investigate this model year 2007 pontiac g6. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My vehicle was stationary at a red light waiting to turn left on a city street in park, as i tried shifting gears back to drive the car jerked forward very intensely ' which it has done multiple times before' .before reaching the drive position. It then proceeded forward out of my controlinto the back of a truck linking my front bumper to the hinge on the back of the truck.. In the midst of that i immediately tried shifting into reverse but doing so was very difficult has the car kept pressing forward into the back of the truck, so i put the car in park then back to reverse when it finally shifted into the reverse gear vigorously which then abled be to detach from the truck. I pulled to the nearest parking lot to check the damage, and seen multiple leaks not sure where from.
While turning right or left usually at a slow speed or from a complete stop making a sharp turn, the steering pops, you can hear and feel it in the steering wheel. It started at about 50,000 miles and has continued while getting gradually worse. I took it in way back when it was still under warranty and told that the steering arm needed to be replaced but i could not afford it at the time so i waited and now unfortunately my extended warranty has expired at 81,000 miles. Recently (just after my warranty expired!) the passenger air bag light keeps coming on and off while my husband or i am sitting in the passenger seat. We commute 2 hours a day on a very dangerous pass. We are very concerned about this. I will be checking with my locate dealer to find out if there is a recall on the airbag.
The power steering light keeps coming on in my 2007 pontiac g6after a minute of being on the road in motion making the steering almost impossible.it's happened on both the highway and city streets regardless of the speed.it caused me to almost have two accidents already!but there is no where to add the steering fluid.i took it to multiple mechanics and they told me there is no reservoir for power steering fluid in the car & that its a steering column issue that's over $1000 to repair.the dealers say it's a manufacturer problem.they told me to contact gm dealer to check for a recall.i call various gm dealers and they told me there is no recall for that.this is rediculous.it is not safe for me to drive this car the way it is & it is their fault that this is happening!i've always preferred to buy american cars but this is what you get from the american companies!!i can no longer drive my car because it's not safe.this is the only car i have making it difficult for me to get to work.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 30 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the power steering warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to be pulled over. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 170,000.
My car which was previously owned by my parents was taken in for a recall of the shift cable. Since the repair of the shift cable it has broken two more times. Once while in motion to park in a driveway where my husband almost drove into the garage, the other time it broke about a year and a half later while i was parking it in a parking lot the car lunged forward almost hitting the car in front. The car never had any problems with this part until it was supposedly corrected by the dealer. Im afraid its going to break while i am driving on the highway and i wont be able to stop or control the car. When the shift cable broke i could put the car in any position the shifter just kept going up and down if i didn't have the emergency break on i would have crashed into the car in front. If my husband didn't have the car with the emergency breakhe would have crashed into the garage.i have a phot of the broken part and notified general motors twice since they repaired the part prior to it breaking.

The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. After restarting, the power steering resumed normal and an unusual noise emitted outside of the vehicle near the front driver's side. The failure recurred two times. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
My power steering keeps going out while i'm driving and it's affecting my wheels and steering. The car is in motion as this is going on.
Was driving down the road at 70 mph and went to start turning for a corner and i could hardly turn my wheel do to the electric power steering temporarily going out almost causing an accident. Then i did some research on why it did this to find out it is a problem with a lot of the pontiac g6 models. Some of them have been recalled but not all the affected ones.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.while driving 10 mph, the power steering warning lamp illuminated as the steering wheel became very difficult to maneuver.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the steering torque sensor was defective and needed to be replaced.the manufacturer was notified.the vehicle was repaired.the failure mileage was 86,725. Updated 10/10/14the consumer stated that there was a recall on model years 2005, 2006, and 2008 for this failure. The consumer believes vehicles with the model 2007 should be included in the recall. Updated 05/19/2015
While driving on my way to school and my car began to start slowing down and it would not allow me to steer the steering wheel. In addition to that the pedals became less operable. I finally was able to pull over maybe 15 minutes from the college in which i was attending. As i was trying to gain control of the steering wheel the car went into the curb. Finally i was able to gain control of my car and it would not start once i pulled over and turned the car off. After that i waited a minute and attempted to start the car again and nothing happened. I had to miss class and call for help and then took my car to other mechanics.
I purchased the care in 8/2015 and this past week the power steering started flashing on the message board and then the power steering went out while i was driving.when i shut the vehicle off it works again but locks so while i am driving it.i would never have purchased this vehicle if i would have know the power steering could be an issue.
The car will intermittently loose the power steering. Usually when you first started it but at time while driving at any speed. If you stopped and restarted the car the power steering might start working. We spend over $2,500 to get this repaired and our dealership is claiming that there is no recall on the power steering. I currently have all the invoice of what they repaired or replaced.
I have replaced the steering rack 3 (three) times since may of 2009, the first time at approx. 20000 miles. The steering rack is going out for the forth time. The general motors dealer says there is no recall for this recurring problem, so they won't cover the cost of repairs although they do acknowledge it does exist.
I was driving did not have any problems until i came up to a red light. I went in to the left turning lane. When the turning lane light changed to green i was unable to turn my car. My steering wheel became very stiff. Almost caused me to crash. Turns out my power steering pump went bad. Took a matter of maybe 5 minutes. Car turned fine a few minutes before.
While driving home from work i completely lost steering capabilities.fortunately, i was in front of my house so i veered into the ditch in my yard.had this occurred while on the highway/road it could have been fatal.i immediately went to a local repair shop to have the vehicle repaired.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving at 60 mph, the steering wheel seized. As a result, the contact crashed into a divider and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v064000 (steering). The failure mileage was 150,000.
Power steering not working, brakes sometimes goes too low to the floor & pedel sensor has gone off making car accelerate at times.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at 5 mph, a clicking sound was heard before the vehicle started jerking. In addition, while making a turn, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver, and various warning lights started to illuminate before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to restart. The contact mentioned that the vehicle stalled in front of the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
When traveling at about 25-30 mph 3 beeps were heard and a message on the dash said power steering. This happened 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 available 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.
While driving around curve to the left power steering locked up and i crashed into a mailbox causing $800 dollars damage to my car.
Car is unsafe it's like your all over the road steelering 8 very unsafe and dangerous.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6...with 35,000 we started hearing a clicking in the steering...took it in...dealer said the grease had worked its way out of the intermediate steering shaft....instead of fixing it with an updated or improved design they put a new grease pack in it....when i asked what happens when the grease comes out again..he said bring it in and they will re-pack it.....of course at my expense.....this sure sounds like a design defect.......i have read many complaints about this problem...but gm (of course) wont do anything about it till someone's steering freezes up and they get killed...i have always been a gm guy....but im done with them...never again!
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 problemoccurred on a family 2005 pontiac g6. The box-assembly had to be replaced. Why again two years later on a newer car.
Power steering not working, took vehicle to dealer 2/06/15 for recall as i'd read online about it.dealer advised vehicle not covered by the recall, to contact gm directly.just off phone with gm, told them i got email from nhtsa, and that nhtsa said it was a recall (nhtsa email cites various id #, 15v06400, expansion of 14v-153, gm#14772, recall #n140115). The gm operator suggested we bring it to a dealer & pay for the repair and ask them to validate if its covered by a recall, but said it is not covered. We do not see how it can't be covered, the car is in every parameter of the recall and is having the identical symptoms, including "power steering" appearing in the driver info center in the center of the dash.report receipt date: feb 04, 2015 nhtsa campaign number: 15v064000 component(s): steeringvehicle makemodelyear(s)2007pontiacg6detailsmanufacturer: general motors llcsummary:general motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 chevrolet malibu and malibu maxx vehicles manufactured april 1, 2006, to june 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 pontiac g6 vehicles manufactured april 18, 2006, to june 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (eps) assist that could occur at any time while driving. Consequence:if power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy:gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. Gm's number for this recall is 14772. Note: this is an expansion of recall 14v-153 to cover additional vehicles built between april 1, 2006 and june 30, 2006. Note.
Steering makes a vibrating noise, instruments gauge says powering steering, the steering wheel goes left to right and right to left by itself while driving. The driver has little control while this is happening. Recallfor steering for these cars announced 2/4/15 but my vin no was not included but i am experiencing these same issues. Please advise how i can be includedin the recall. My car's steering is defective. Please be responsible for reducing deaths and injuries due to motor vehicle crashes. My life and my family's life matters.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving at approximately 30 mph, the power steering seized and the steering wheel began to shake and jolt. The power steering warning indicator illuminated continuously. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering shaft was faulty. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 162,000. The vin was unavailable.
Power steering gives out randomly. Could be when parking could be when driving. This issue has been recalled on almost every year except this one even though this issue is prevalent amongst all g6 owners.
While driving or stationary as i turn the wheel either way i here a clacking noise. I thought it was my c.v. Axles but my joints are still sealed. So i began to think it was my steering column because after a certain amount of turning it for really really hard to turn then a load clack then it would pass the stress point turn easier but still make the clacking noise when turning it back. That would happen in both directions.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 45 mph, the steering wheel started to vibrate and the engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was driven to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the power steering sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 158,000.
The car totally lost electrical power. My wife, daughter and two grand kids (1 & 4 yrs old) were in the car. The power windows had be acting up for a while but on this day all the power went out. After she controlled the car to a stop on the highway and waited 10 minutes it would start again. She then tried to drive back roads home. Only to have it happen multiple times again. Finally we had it towed to the dealer ship. And again they are saying there is no recall on this car. It will now cost us over $500 dollars to fix on top of the $2500 last time. The dealership in the past as been great but in this case have been of no help. Over $3000 dollar out without any compensation from gm or the dealer (betten / baker chevrolet in coopersville, michigan).
We did not have any incident. Mine was more of a question concerning a recall # found on a dorman part. (2007 pontiac g6 steering recall 14e044000)from what i understand this recall was only for a replacement part that was bought for this issue involving the u-joints and the steering?we are currently having problems with our pontiac g6 and the steering that i feel is very safe.the car we have is only a 2007 with 56,000 miles on it and we can barely control the steering.we were wondering were others having this issue ?otherwise why would there be a recall on this replacement part?
Power steering goes out
2007 g6 4 drvin[xxx] re: steering column intermediate geargrease disappears in steering column. Every year has to be repacked.clunk clunk sound when turning steering column left or right. Maker defect.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The first day it got below 40 degrees outside i noticed the power steering felt like it needed fluid by the time i got my son to school 20 min later i had no power steering that's when i realized that it was electric power steering i checked all the fuses and did some research and found that alot of the 07 g6s has this problem i keep waiting on a recall because i cant afford to have the steering column replaced. Replacement costs between 700.00 and 1200.00. I am still driving the car with no power steering.
Clunk/knock from front of vehicle while driving and making a turn.steering is now also becoming tight when making turns.
A couple of times this past year after my vehicle hit 75k miles, my steering has locked up causing me to have to pull on the wheel very hard just to make the turn which a bit of a concern. Thankfully no accident resulting from this. I have not had this problem in the last couple of months. However i have also had an issue with the brake lights. A friend who was following me advised that my brake lights were turning on even when i wasn't braking. Additionally, in july of 2013 (my vehicle was at about 70k miles) we began smelling gasoline coming from the vehicle. We took it to get the car repaired and the mechanic identified that my fuel pump was leaking gasoline and had to be completely replaced which cost about $1000. My check engine light has now come on again and i am taking it this week to get it inspected. The car jerks when moving it from park into gear, and when driving the timing seems to be off when accelerating.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle started to hesitate. Additionally, while attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated that the check engine and air bags warning lights were illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. Upon investigation, the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v224000 (power train). The failure mileage was approximately 242,588.
While driving my 2007 pontiac g6 i heard a ding, ding, ding and my power steering went dead. I'm a very big man and could hardly control the car. I was in a school zone and almost hit a crowd of 4 kids before getting the car to stop. The car has only 37,000 miles on it and is more dangerous than anything being investigated from toyota. I have read that this has been a problem for several years and i'm wondering why you as a safety division of our country, you can bailout gm but you won't make their cars safe to drive?
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds between 1 and 15 mph a popping and grinding type noise was present when turning the steering wheel in either direction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the rack and pinion but the noise continued. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,000.
I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous gm vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my vin number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the vin number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the nhtsa website, the tool says that not all vin numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 pontiac g6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific vin number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for g6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?
The steering wheel locks up while in use and sometimes when the car sits idle. The steering is electrical so there isn't a place to put power steering fluid which makes for a very difficult time trying to turn.i've had the outer tire rods replaced as well as the rack and pinions and now i've been told that the entire steering column has to be replaced. Where is the recall on this car!!!!
The power steering goes out while i'm driving. The steering wheel gets hard to turn, i have to pull over shut my car off and hope that it goes back on when i turn the car back on. The steering wheel also shakes, and gets tough to turn. Then while driving just goes out. It also doesn't throw any kind of code so i never know if it when it will go out.i'm 9 months pregnant i have put in multiple complaints with you guys, plus gm. This is a serious safety hazard and if i do get into some kind of accident it will be a huge lawsuit! this needs to be taken care of.
The power steering on my vehicle continued to fail at any time while driving, causing all loss of power steering until the car was restarted. This recall is listed on the nhtsa website. When i returned this to the dealership they told me that since this recall was released in february 2016, which wasn't even true based off the website, that they would not cover the cost, and the repairs would be over 1000 dollars, and additional 200 dollars for the technician checking my vehicle.
Power steering stops working with no real reason.
First it begin with a clunking sound as i turn my car to the right. Then it begin with my signal light being defected to where it doesn't automatically switch off with turning, and then now it pops up on the display the word power steering, where then the wheel locks up at any given time and speed making it extremely difficultly to manage driving, turning, and switching lanes.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the power steering suddenly failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 143,646.
I was driving and noticed that my airbag sensor light was coming on. It occasionally comes on and it goes off. I'mhaving a issue with something underneath my car. I replaced tierod and got two front end alignments.since purchasing this car in october 2013 i complained to dealership my concerns for my car not feeling safe. It seems to be something in steering or underneath vehicle.my thermostat gauge fluctuates from zero degrees to 220 degrees while driving.water pump was replaced and it still occurs.
Driving on freeway and power steering sign flashed without warning on screen and then steering wheel locked going 65 mph. Causing me to almost crash and now power steering does not work. Now power steering does not work. I'm seeing in 2014 there were many recalls on this vechicle and for some odd reason, my vin was not included this is a common problem for this car and should not be responsible. Ive called gm and they will not help me.
My steering hose is too close to the exhaust so it burned thru the protective sleeve and into the hose causing it to burn and me losing power while steering almost getting in to an accident.
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.
I have previously filed a complaint and was told by the pontiac customer service team at #1-800-762-2737. My car has less than 50,000 miles and it a 2007 pontiac g6.i found a recall on the website, recall# 14772, which is an expansion recall from the original recall 14v-153.pontiac is stating that only vin number cars manufactured between april 18,2006-june 30,2006 are covered under this recall.pontiac agreed to pay for the diagnostic and it was determined by jake sweeny which pontiac advised me to take the car to.jake sweeny indicated it was the torque sensor.i then, called back pontiac to advise them what the diagnostic outcome and pontiac stated they will not pay for the repair under the recall.i am extremely disappointed as i have read there are over 69,000 complaints on this issue and i do not believe that pontiac can justify that my vin number is not related to this recall.this is a safety issue and i believe under motor vehicle safety (title 49, chapter 301) this is a safety and risk issue.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the steering wheel was loose upon turning in either direction, and an abnormal noise was heard. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. The vehicle was also inspected by an independent mechanic. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v064000 (steering) and 14e044000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
I have an 07 pontiac g6 with 137000 miles, with little warning my power steering light came on and i had no power steering. I was on the interstate traveling 70mph. I was able to get off on the next exit and turn my car off/on and it was fine. Well it happened again abt 30 minutes later. After doing research it said that some recalls have been made due to this issue but using my vin number my car is not elligable. I'm at a loss, what do i do now?
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact was driving 50-55 mph when the power steering light illuminated and the vehicle began beeping abnormally. The failure persisted intermittently. The dealer advised having a diagnostic performed on the vehicle to determine the cause of failure. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 55,720 and the current mileage was 55,790.
I was driving, came to a light, power steering went out. I thought it was just low on fluid, but found out electric power assist. Looked on line to find remedy and found that this is a well documented problem that both pontiac and gm are well aware of. Instead of tackling the problem head on the side skirt the problem with 90 day or less windows of culpability knowing full well the problem is much more widespread than they acknowledge. It's a shame i have to come here to cry to try and make pontiac and gm take responsibility for their engineering disasters!!
I was traveling down the highway probably around 50 mph and the power steering quit working. I turned it off and on it started working again. I was out on the interstate doing 75 and it did it again. I t has been intermittent ever sense.
Popping and clunking noise when turning the wheel. Has done it the whole 2 yrs i have had it, nobody can seem to fix the issue for good.
Power steering issues,check engine light are still coming on after my mechanic worked on it.now it's saying to check my gas cap as well... I pull over to check it by opening and closing it again and it's fine for about .25-.50 of a mile.
When i turned on the car a notification came up on the radio display saying "power steering" and a sound went off as well. The power steering stopped working. I turned the car off, waiting a few seconds, and restarted and the message went away. Now when stopping the steering wheel will move on its own pulling to the left. The problem has been getting more and more frequent since it started.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving 2 mph in reverse from a parking space, the power steering assist malfunctioned and caused the steering wheel to seize. The power steering sensor light was illuminated and an audible chime sounded after the defect occurred. The contact turned off and restarted the engine, and the defect was corrected temporarily but sporadically recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Started my car and the steering wheel is locked. I cannot turn. I have turned the car on and off several times to no avail.
My 2007 pontiac g6 having a lot popping sound in when steering and a lot of rattling sound underneath. I don't know what it is but the noise so loud. When you pick up speeds 45 mp and up the steering wheel shakes. I have complaint about this before i never got an recall it at all it seen it is getting worst, i may not be the only one making a complaintabout this steering shaking and rattling sound underneath.
When i turned the vehicle on the power steering was no longer working.i turned the vehicle back off and it started working again than about a week later the power steering went out while driving and the vehicle was very hard to drive.i took it to shop and they said it had a recall on it it was the torque sensor and that i should contact pontiac.i did and they said that my car's vin number wasn't listed and even though it was probably a defect that they couldn't help me and it cost $358.00 to fix.
My wife was pulling out of the driveway and heard a loud clunk and my power steering light came on and i lost all power steering i had a hard time steering the car to get it back in the driveway i believe it may be related to gm recall 14772 sudden loss of electric power steering but have not gotten a recall letter
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact noticed a vibration in the steering wheel while driving between 55-70 mph.the dealer stated there was no warranty on the vehicle and the issue was considered normal wear and tear.the dealer also stated that a vented rotor was needed in order to keep it cooler.the contact replaced the rotors with a factory model.two months later, the rotors began to pulsate again.the vibration could be felt through the steering wheel.the failure mileage was 29,000.
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
I'm on a busy city street and i went to put my vehicle from reverse into drive and i noticed that it wasn't going into gear and when i would accelerate on the gas to make my vehicle go it would just rev up like it wasn't a year and then i would you know take it back to reverse and then back to drive and it would still not go into gear finally after about two or three tries of this it finally got to go into drive and i made it to home the next morning when i went to leave i tried to crank my vehicle and it would not start so a friend of mine pop the hood and he noticed that the thing that puts my car into gear was not attached anymore and that is why my vehicle would not start and i had the problem that i had the night prior.next problem i have is my airbag symbol pops up off and on while i'm driving and we'll stay on for a while and then go off and then it'll come back on about a week later and then it'll go off again and this happens when i'm driving on the highway down the street just randomly.next is my power steering power steering when i start the vehicle and put my car into gear and attempt to turn my wheel to reverse or you know to get out of a parking position my power steering will be really hard really tight i try to turn it and i can't turn it very far because of the pressure behind it i will put my car back into gear turn off the car and turn my steering wheel as much as i can to the left as far as it'll go and then to the right as far as it'll go and then finally it will loosen up so where i can turn my vehicle.
I am having the same problem as hundreds of others.gm continues to ignore the safety of their consumers.i have an 07 pontiac g6 and while driving on the freeway the power steering light illuminated and the steering became very tight, jerky, and hard to control.it is a miracle i was able to get off the busy freeway without causing an accident.this is the exact same problem other g6 vehicles are having and most have been recalled in campaign 15v064000.the 2007 and my vin have not been recalled and who but gm knows why they are putting people in danger.there are close to 200 complaints on the nhtsa alone with people having the same problem with the same year.why on earth is gm refusing to repair these cars like they are doing on other years of the same make and model.this was a dangerous situation to me, and the innocent drivers around me.gm needs to own up to their mistakes and include the rest of the vin numbers that are having the same issue as the rest of the vehicles that have been recalled.
Power steering locks up. Locks up no matter what speed you are going. Found that they replaced this for the 05,06, 08 years but not 07? really? apparently it is still a dangerous issue that has not been resolved by pontiac. I viewed several complaints and pontiac does not accept responsibility for the 2007. Not sure how they are getting away with this. This is very dangerous and will go out at any given moment. Very expensive to replace. Must replace or don't drive. I have driven other makes of cars before and they have repaired them if there was a recall. This is my first new pontiac that they refuse to recall. Next new car will not be pontiac. Spread the word, don't buy a used pontiac g6. Mine was brand new when i bought it.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the power steering assist failed as the steering wheel shifted from side to side without manual force. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the power steering assist motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while attempting to turn left, the steering failed without warning. The contact had to apply force to the steering wheel to be able to complete the turn. The contact inspected the vehicle and located the failure at the power steering which caused the power steering fluid to leak. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 45,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the power steering fluid lines failed, causing power steering fluid to leak onto the engine. When the failure occurred, smoke was emitted from under the hood and the cabin was filled with smoke. The vehicle was previously taken to a mechanic who replaced the power steering lines. One week later, the failure recurred as smoked entered the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure who advised that there were no recalls for her vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Was driving down the 101 hwy in california just south of arroyo grande and felt steering get a little stiff when going around a slow semi. Slowed to under 30mph to turn off hwy to job site and it was like trying to steer a wheelbarrow with 600lbs of dirt on it. Get the picture? if it was my wife she might have crashed. I became aware of the recall just 3 weeks after and recently found out my assembly date isn't included. It was assembled 12/06 according to door jam sticker. What's up with that?
Cooling fans fuses replaced because it was running hot.it started running hot a few years later and wiring to the cooling fans had to be fixed.check engine light then came on and wouldn't go off and engine module was replaced.check engine light came back on immediately, power steering randomly stopped working but came back, power seats stopped working randomly but started to work again, radio wouldn't go off after taking out the key and opening the door, and now the car will only go in reverse and drive in the manual mode.i'm never buying another gm vehicle!
Was going through a drive thru and was turning left and the sterring went out...could not steer the veh.the 2005 2006 2008 & 2009 was recalled for the same thing..i do not unerdatand why the 2007 wasn't recalled.. This has happened three times.. If you canturn off the vehicle it will reset... Our granddaughter was driving when this happened..the sterring just goesout and the sterring light starts flashing....any time you are driving on curvy roads this happens...have to replace the whole column becausethe sensor is all one assembly..i have read that there have been alot of the 2007 g6 with the same problem....please check into why it hasn't been recalled before someone gets killed.....
My 2007 pontiac g6 will at random times lose the power steering in the middle of driving.it is very difficult to get pulled off of the road without power steering.there has been a recall on 2007 g6's but i was told by pontiac that my car is not one of the cars recalled. I explained that my car is doing exactly what the recall states happens but they still said my car is not covered under the recall.it'a risky to drive the car when it randomly does this. This has happened on highways going 70 mphas well as on city streets. My only option according to pontiac is to pay to fix it myself.
As i am driving down the road my power steering locks up and i am hardly able to turn the steering wheel!! dangerous called gm said my car isn't in the recall as some of the others! well when i die or some one else does gm will se my face in court! $900 to fix the problem don't have it! we own a auto repair shop cant fix it need to have it programmed! this has started earlier but then went away so i canceled my appointment at dealer now the wont fix it . Well since i own a auto shop i know bringing my car in when the problem isn't present does no good. How you going to find a problem when it is intermittent. I sometimes need to pull over shut my car off and restart it and it usually takes care of it for a few days. Happens more and more the longer and more miles i put on the car!
My 2007 g6 lost steering yesterday and i slammed my brakes and skid across four lanes. Luckily it was night and there were no cars . I turned my car of at the gas station then back on and the steering returned. Then today i saw the recall for gm but the pontiac g6 is not on there . Gm needs to put them on the recall also before someone really gets hurt. I also ran over a dog last week and killed it, what if that was a child?
Electrical power steering does not work at times and code co545 present. Steering wheel shakes when turned slightly left. When turn off vehicle and restart electrical power steering will function as normal. Steering torque sensor problem but steering assembly will need replacement. This should be a dealer recall due to part defect as in 2006 model years.
While driving a "power steering" message will come across at intermittent times. I have brought it in and they have said that there is something(cant remember the exact part) with the steering column that needs to be replaced. I have not replaced this part yet. I'm hoping that they do a recall on the part like they have for other vins. Also while driving when i turn either direction it makes a loud clunking noise.
When starting from stop, making a right or left turn the power steering stops working, the steer shaft makes a grinding squeal sound and you need force to turn the steering wheel.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving, the vehicle became difficult to steer and lost all power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (carr chevrolet, 15005 sw tualatin valley hwy, beaverton, or 97006) where it was diagnosed that the power steering assist failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 122,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after leaving the store and re-entering the vehicle, the power steering failed to operate correctly and became difficult to steer. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to his residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 15v064000 (steering) as a possible solution to the failure however, the vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
Power steering abruptly stopped working many times over past 2 weeks: making sharp turns @ low speed into driveway/parking spot, on main roads at moderate speeds (30-45mph) while changing lanes & even at hwy speeds when changing lanes. Sometimes power steering would unexpectedly come back on by "itself" - with a very dangerous, unpredictable jerk-type motion. Other times i would pull over (very difficult & scary to steer!) & restart car to try to get power steering back. Power steering has now completely failed. Towed car to gm dealership. While waiting for callback, did research & found out about existing & newly expanded recalls for torque sensor. Dealer then called to say my car (manufact date 11/06) was not included in the recalls! they also said, that in addition to defective torque senor ($600 part/labor) that the power steering motor was also broken (addl' cost $500) so now a total of $1100 and no help from existing gm recalls! my car has the exact same defective part(s) as countless others have (some of which were included in the recalls) this is a defective part(s) issue that has already been going on for the past few years! i have already had two recall repairs completed on my car. When is gm going to make this right and include every car that shows up at dealer with an defective torque sensor? what is it going to take? gm's customers being severely injured or killed in an accident resulting from loss of control of steering???
My hand hit the key in the ignition switch and the vehicle cut-off(lost all power).i could not accelerate, i had to stop in the middle of the roadway and turn the switch to off and crank the vehicle again. After thinking about it i can recall this happening years ago, i thought nothing of it.
My 2007 pontiac g6 has had the power steering going out while driving. The warning light comes on. If i turn the car off, the power steering usually comes back on when i restart the car. The last 2 twos, it goes back off almost immediately and i have no power steering. It is very hard to control the turning of the car.
My 07 g6 v6 seems to lose power steering intermittently. There is no way to know when it will happen.
I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since i have had this car i have not had the chance to really enjoy it because i am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and i have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
The power steering would randomly loose power while driving down the road causing it to be hard to steer. I almost rearended someone cause i couldn't steer the car to the left. The radio started to display " power steering " when it would lock up. Now it is doing it almost daily.
When making turns left or right the steering is stiffing and makes it very hard to turn and makes a loud noise
The power steering will turn off randomly while driving. Restarting the car reactivated the power steering, then randomly will shut off again while driving. Happens at any speed and whether turning or going straight.
Was at the dealership getting a new regulator put in for my power window and the tech there did a inspection of my car and told me there is a problem with my steering wheel the shaft. He then continued to tell me that about 2 years ago pontiac came out with a new part to fix this problem in all the new g6s. Why was there not a recall on this matter to the pontiac owners? this is a safety matter. And there should be no expense to me or anyone else who has this issue. What can we do about this?
The electrical power steering on the pontiac g6 2007 locks up while driving.driving on the highway the power steering locked up and steering was made difficult more effort put into turning the wheel a small direction. This issue also happens when car is in park and just starting, oftentimes restarting car can fix issue temporarily
The power steering randomly will suddenly loose power steering.this has happened several times. Power steering is restored once the car is restarted.our vin is not included in the recall by gm for the very same power steering issue that other same model year pontiac g6 cars are included in.it was first noticed in 2013 (mileage unknown- amount above is estimate) by my husband who was primary driver and it would only happen when going in reverse. It would happen several times a week only in reverse and it restored on its own. I was driving it in 2014 when i was going about 30mph- it went out on me. It only restored when car was restarted.
Sudden loss of power steering making car very difficult to drive straight or turn on any kind of road.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The driver had to apply force to the steering wheel in order to turn the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,288.
I was started my carand the power steering default message came on.i continued to drive and noticed there was a clicking there was a clicking sound whenever the wheel was actuated.i noticed there was a lag in the movement of the wheel when the steering wheel was moved.driving down the freeway i also noticed a constant shake in the steering wheel.both symptoms that i had with this issue could definitely result in an accident.
Problems: power steering randomly stops working, steering wheel will shake. When first starting car radio screen reads "power steering". No power steering, often turning car off then back on temporarily fixes issue, but it soon returns. Yesterday morning i was driving the 2007 pontiac g6 and the power steering stopped working and caused togo off the road. After getting it toed home power steering is completely gone. I have already contacted gm (yesterday) and they informed me that even though it was displaying the exact same symptoms of a faulting steering column from similar vehicles recalled ( 2005 , 6 8 and 9 pontiac g6s) it was not covered under the recall so i would have to pay out of pocket. I went online and found hundreds of complaints about 2007 g6 steering columns problems but they had the same problem.
The steering hose it too close to the exhaust.....it bust my steering hose 2 times which cause my car to smoke and catch fire due to the fluid leaking on exhaust....i was able to get it out and replace the hose again and the same problem happen again....
My power steering is dead!!! they want me to pay $1200 to fix it.absolutely ridiculous.how do you first recall 05, 06... 08, 09. Then only a selected few 2007 years later. Whenever i tell anyone about this they all have the wth expression.
There is a bumping or clunking noise when the steering wheel is turned slightly at low speed or while still, as if there is a linkage problem.apparently, this is a common issue for this car, as gm has issued tsb #06-02-32-007f.however, since this is a steering issue, shouldn't there be a recall to correct or repair?
Power steering stops working when starting car.message displays on readout saying power steering.i am very concerned this will happen while driving.increasing in frequency of occurrences.i see other recalls for same issue but states this vin number is not among the recall.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while making a right turn at approximately 15 mph, the check engine light illuminated and the steering wheel became very hard to maneuver. The problem recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the power steering had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I was driving my 07 pontiac g6 into walmart parking lot. I went to pull into a parking space and my powering steering locked up. This has happened several times on and off for the past few months. Also, starting in feb. My wipers have gone out on me two different times. The first time was in a snow storm and this last time in a bad rain storm. Very concerned about a recall that needs to be done on pontiac g6 2007.
While driving at an estimated 45 mph the steering wheel preceded to shake violently from left to right and we immediately pulled to side of road to inspect the front wheels to make sure there was nothing wrong. Tried to take off and drive again and the vehicle continued to shake violently therefore pulled over again and called a tow truck. Paid $100.00 to have it towed. Took it to the dealership we purchased it from and they proceeded to tell us that there were service bulletins on this matter with the car. They proceeded to tell us that our car was not covered because it had the wrong vin number under warranty. Upon further investigation said that basically it was going to be our problem and we would have to pay for it to get fixed even though there are service bulletins issued for the same problem. I would like to know why they charged me $40 to check it out, plus quoted us a price of over $800 to fix the problem and plus the towing problem that gm has produced dangerous situations with there product and will not stand behind there product. This is definitely something that needs to be checked on considering the number of complaints that have been lodged about the same thing happening to other people while driving. I would like a response as to how they are able to get away with this problem and will fix some cars with the problem and not other ones. Thank you.
Steering wheel shakes intermittently and steering is hard at various speeds. Shaking occurs sometimes when vehicle is stopped. Other models of the g6 have been recalled for this issues but i have not seen a recall for the 2007 models.
I loose my power steering. A warning comes on and my power electric power steering is gone it has happened multiple times. It happens at all speeds. There was a recall for this on 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009 but not on my 2007. What are they waiting for, someone to get killed.
Power steering first started shaking from side to side mentioned it to the dealer when the car was in for another problem and they said it was just the electric powering steering.problem has gotten much worse, car is hard to hold on the road because power steering shacks from side to side now at 75,000 miles power steering goes out.this is a safety hazard.earlier models were recalled.do we have to wait until someone is in a serious accident.i am afraid to drive the car.this car needs to be recalled it is a safety issue.
1-cruise control comes back on after disengaging, loud clunk when turning, have fixed ball joints and front end stuff several times and it still clunks at low speeds ever since i've owned the vehicle. Have had issues with the brake system as well.
My steering went out of know where i was in the middle of a turn no warning at all i was making a turn on the highway into the next lane and it just couldn't turn the wheel
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 25 mph, the steering ability seized and caused the contact to strike a utility pole. There were no warning indicators illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.....updated 01/13/16 the conusmer stated the high pressure power steering line was positioned to close to the exhaust causing the line to rupture. The vehicle was repaired.
We have a 2007 pontiac g6, the base 4 door model.the electric power steering stopped working suddenly exactly as described in nhtsa campaign number: 15v064000the belt is still there and after a couple of hours the sensor started working again, but who knows when it swill cut out again.there is a recall for this for 2007 pontiac g6 but our particular vin is not listed.there are hundreds of complaints on this issue but for some reason nhtsa has not expanded this recall to all 2007 g6 and the manufacturer can care less. My question is at what point does nhtsa force a manufacturer to recall something this obvious? does someone have to die and their family be on 20/20 before nhtsa moves their bureaucratic asses?from all the complaints its obvious all 2007 g6 have this potential issue.for the love of god, someone there please contact the manufactures on this issue and have them expand this recall!!!!!!
Esp is failing. Steering wheel is shaking and jerking at all speeds and at idle. Causes vehicle to veer in different directions.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.while driving 55 mph, the steering wheel suddenly locked without warning.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the steering column needed to be replaced.the current mileage was 45,874 and failure mileage was 30,000.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving at 65 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning light illuminated. The contact mentioned that the failure progressively worsened. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Steering wheel locked up and would not allow me to turn. Power steering light came on after that. Vehicle was in motion on a street and began to lock up and caused most problems while attempting to turn.
I have a pontiac 2007 g6 the other day while driving the power steering locked up and i went into a very swallow ditch.i was not hurt and the car was not damaged, however if it would have been the canal on the other side of the road i would have been kill.all my fluids are check and change on a regular basis and there are no leaks.this is definitely a manufacture error and needs to be look and this will be a very expensive fix and i am not fixing it my self. Nor am i going to pay to have fix when the manufacture should pay to fix it .there should never bea problem with a vehicle while it is in motion at any time no matter what year or make !! please look into this matter i could have been kill do to a defect and this problem needs to be fix now !!!!!!!!!
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 1/16/082.replaced right visor for mirror on passenger side of car 1/16/083.replaced broken cable for right rear window regulator on 3/14/084.replaced steering column on 7/28/085.replaced front brakes with high end pads estimated date 8/086.replaced rear left bulb for brake lights estimated date 10/087.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 1/20/09also 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.
My power steering fails everytime i turn my wheel. It is worse when moving to the left,.
I currently own a 2007 pontiac g6 sedan 4 cylinder. When the weather gets hotter and towards the summer months, every time i start up the car make a turn, i get an illumination on my radio that reads "power steering" and my power steering shuts off, making it extremely hard to turn the wheel and navigate the vehicle. Multiple times it has happened while trying to turn onto a busy road, causing near accidents due to sudden loss of steering control. I have called the pontiac dealership and was told they had heard nothing of this issue. From reading many articles online, i find that very hard to believe and i think this is an issue many people would like to be solved. They issued a recall for the g5 series for power steering failure, but not the g6 which seems to have the same problems.
Last week i was experiencing shaking in my steering wheel and knocking sounds on friday.my car pretty much sat all weekend, i went to go back out of my driveway for work and noticed the steering wheel was really hard to turn and my steering wheel notice came up on radio dash.i pulled back into my driveway turned off car.i pulled out my manual and was checking to see if i needed steering wheel fluid and it was it was an electrical column.i turned car back on to check it again and it was free again and could turn with out alot of pressure.i proceeded to work and started to call around to shops.i noticed online that there are recalls for this same issue.i do not have alot of miles on my car for the year and have seen similar/if not the same exact problems occurring with other owners when i read complaints on line.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact observed fluid leaking under the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
Sudden lose of power steering. After car starts up, power steering is present, however after vehicle is moving, sudden lose of the power steering occurs.a check of my vin states my 2007 g6 is not related to nhtsa bulletin 15v064000, however it is for the same exact make, model, year, and part that is affected. The gm recall number is 14772. This is a serious safety hazard that could result in major crash with potential for serious injury or death as steering is lost while in motion. It now occurs every time vehicle is driven after a short distance on road.gm needs to investigate that more 2006-2007 pontiac g6 vehicles with that same torque sensor be impacted by recall 14722 immediately.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at 15 mph, the steering wheel seized and vibrated as an abnormal noise emitted from the steering wheel without warning.

The entire steering wheel assembly was replaced. Also, the transmission was jerking
2007 pontiac g6, 77,000 miles. The steering wheel began to shake a lot. Then i notice when you slightly turn the wheel left or right it knocks. I have been receiving power steering warnings on my dash. When this happens i turn off the car and restart it, the problem goes away then restarts again. I don't know why the 2007 g6 was not on the recall list. I've notice a lot of other people on g6 car websites have had the same problem. Surely this is a recall. It is definitely a safety issue. I have a appointment to get my car looked at next week.
Power steering alert on radio screen when car is not in motion and steering wheel is hard to turn.i can turn the car off then back on and the alert will go off and the steering is back to normal. Once i start driving i get the alert again and my steering wheel gets stiff and hard to turn. I have also noticed that the steering wheel shakes some times when the car is in park. I went online and noticed that some makes and models of the same vehicle has had several recall. When i go on gm website. Its states my vehicle does not have any recalls on it. But my car is doing everything thats on the recall list for the same make and model of my vehicle.
I have been having problems with clunking and rattling in the steering column for years, even shortly after i purchased my vehicle in 2007 the popping began,especially at low speeds.its to the point now that my car feels like its literally going to fall apart with all the rattling and vibrating. Gm suggested i rotate tires, resurface rotors, replace tie rods and stabilizer bar control link`. I have paid for all of this at my mechanic and the problem still persists. I have had 2 mechanics(non gm) insist that its the steering column shaft and there have been several complaints about this same exact issue but gm refuses to fix the root of the problem. I believe they lubed the shaft some years ago but that was just a band aid.i understand they were replacing the shafts years ago but stopped because of the high cost for gm. I know that this is and has been my issues over the years and it is only getting worse. They should have fixed it the correct way the first time instead of giving me the run around and having all these other things done to my vehicle when the main issue is the steering column shaft. I have had enough spending money on my vehicle when pontiac should be held responsible for replacing and or repairing my shaft. Im scared to drive my vehicle at time because im afraid its going to fall apart. Something has got to be done finally this this gone on far too long.
I was driving my vehicle and my power steering went out. An error came up after this happened. I believe my vehicle has electric power steering.

I was driving down the highway at about 70mph, all of a sudden the car beeped, but i didn't see any warning lights on the dashboard. Immediately i noticed that the steering wheel had locked and was extremely difficult to turn. I was able to tilt it just enough to change lanes, but i was afraid i would be unable to make any sharper turn than that. I exited the highway and as i suspected, it was extremely difficult to turn the wheel. If this had happened right before a steep curve in the road and i would not have had time to slow down and i would have run right off the road, unable to turn the wheel! i see that this has happened to other peoples' g6 just in the last few days. Please fix our power steering! engine still turns on and off, nothing wrong with the way it drives, just the steering wheel is stuck.
Front end rattles and knocks. When driving over bumps, loose control of steering. Gm needs to recall for these problems.
February 2017 i was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me.i turned the ignition off & then turned the car back on & it never happened again until 11/13/17.i was driving & my steering wheel locked up. I almost caused an accident.i called greenwood chevrolet hubbard to inquire about any recalls & i was told there were no recalls at this time & the recalls that were issued i was serviced for.11/13/17 was not the first time that i called to inquire about recalls for my car.i call often when i see other gm cars have recalls.i called gm to inquire about a recall & i was given the same information that greenwood gave.i took my car to firestone complete auto care on 11/15/17 & they made me aware of recall # 15356.they found the recall information when they ran the diagnostic test.they suggested that i take my car to the dealership & let the recall fix the issue.when i call the dealership and gm i was told that the recall expired on march 12, 2017.i never received and type of correspondence about the recall.what if i get in a car accident and harm someone else or myself.i feel that gm should have to pay to fix a faulty part that they installed into their product. I also keep getting a check air bag signal on my car every so often.i'm almost scared to drive my car.i also called the dealership that i purchased the car from and they stated that i would've had to call if i was having the problem then they would've honored the recall.i asked the dealership how can i call about a problem if it's not happening at the present time and why wasn't i notified about the recall.the dealership is diane sauer chevroletphone: [xxx].

I took out a sign with the drivers side and hit about 3-4 trees with the front end. My airbags never deployed. Thank goodness no one was injured, but the amount of damage done and how many things i hit, shocks me as to why my airbag never deployed.

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 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.

I bought a brand new 2008 pontiac g6 base model 4 door 2.4l. At less than 20,000 miles i started getting brake problems. I brought it into the dealership and they told me that i needed the brakes turned and grinned. I refused to let them do that because other pontiac g6 owners have complained about the same issues and when they got theirs turned and grinned the same problems with the brakes occurred thereafter. Now (@24,000) i have warped brakes, worn out pads, and a defective worn out i-shaft(steering rod). I brought my car in to the dealership last week, they replaced one of the rotors in the rear, replaced all pads and grinned and turned the rest of the rotors. They claimed my car was fixed but the second i drove out of the dealership the same warping noise was apparent coming from the brakes when i hit my brakes and also when the car was in motion. I was still hearing the clunking noise coming from the steering column. I have done extensive research and found that many americans around are experiencing the same issues with their brakes and i-shaft. This is a serious concern because last week at one point when i hit my brakes my car was not stopping. I kept hitting it and finally it gave in. This is a serious safety concern and pontiac/gm needs to do something about it before they get the same problems toyota customers have gone through! view website below to view customers experiencing the same problems.please do not ignore this complaint..this is a serious issue! do not wait until someone loses their life to this problem. Let's enforce gm to recall this model and car so many americans can stop dishing out hundreds of dollars to fix problems with this car that continues to be a problem once fixed!thank you
Miles 99,543 when i came back out the store i turn my car on to experience my steering wheel was harder to turn then usual. I turn my car off and on and the problem was still there. I went to advance auto to get a bottle of fluid and find out my steering wheel is electric and the recall that was on it expired a few years ago ! my concern is what if i spend my money to get it fix and the problem occur again. Anothee issue is that my service air bag pops up across the radio sometimes
On jan 21, 2014 the power steering light and beep went off and the power steering would not work. I could turn the car off, turn the steering wheel back and forth while turning the key back on and the problem was fixed - for a while. This technique no longer works. Two years ago the steering went out sporadically for about 2 months-i could turn the car off and on again and the steering would work. We checked into getting it fixed but were told it was not on the recall list (why not??). For some reason,back then, the problem just stopped happening and the steering was fine again until this past january. I'm not sure what is triggering this problem but i do know that it is going to cost quite a bit of money to fix. The 2007 pontiac g6 needs to be added to the already long list of recalls for this problem.
Small stream of white smoke began to emit from the steering column, suddenly the chime went on and the power steering failed.drove vehicle to dealership who advised me the issue is a common electrical failure in g6 models and that several other years have been recalled for the same issue, but not 2007.dealer advised me to hold on to the receipt for reimbursement in the event that gm does recall the 2007 model.after waiting nearly two years, i decided to issue a letter to gm requesting reimbursement.on 2/6/14 i was contacted by gm customer service representatives who explained a recall was not in place and therefore they would not reimburse.i was further advised by gm representative 'joseph' that gm is "not a charity" and that i would just have to "deal with it."in a final effort to resolve the issue i requested a voucher toward a new gm purchase instead of reimbursement as sign of good-faith that gm would stand behind their products; this request was also denied.gm representatives also refused to issue me a written explanation of denial.i am able to provide a copy of the service invoice and proof of ownership at the time of the incident.
Without warning steering wheel starts to shake and then it lose power steering, you lose control and have to put effort into steering it so you don't crash.you can shut car off and when you restart the power steering seems fine and then it starts again with no warning.very dangerous situation car manufacturer needs to include 2007in their recalls!!!!almost went into a tree.
I am the 2nd owner to a g6 have noticed since about a month or so after purchasing vehicle that when turning at slow speeds there is a clanking/banging noise.have noticed several others mention of this same issue. Now it shows obvious recall for the u joint for this vehicle, yet both dealerships and pontiac are only saying it is vin specific which to me is a crock of (you fill in).there is obviously a problem with this yet they want to do nothing.guess major accidents or death must need to result in order for them to fix the issue. Also at just any random time the airbag warning will just pop up on my dashboard.vehicle has been in no accidents, so there should be no reason to that just randomly "poppign up"i will be making formal complaints to bbb and national safety website. If you post a recall for a vehicle, it is not vin specific as they are all using the same parts.come on gm we are not idiots here!!!!!

Parent was driving down highway at 60 mph when car beeped and radio screen read 'power steering'. Immediately the steering wheel became very difficult to move and turn, the issue is still present and has not gone away.
For the third time since i have had the car, my power steering line broke while turning yesterday.under the hood filled with smoke and power steering fluid started leaking under the car.each time i have had to have new coils and rack and pinions replaced.this is unsafe, dangerous and frustrating and of course gm doesn't care...go figure! updated 6/13/13

The steering makes a clunkin noise. It turns back and fourth by itself when driving and while parked.some times when i start the car the radio says power steering when i start the car.when these problems happen i turn the car off open door so the radio goes off than start it and than it works fine until it sits turned off for a little while.sometimes i'll have to turn car off and on about five times before it works.i have read that pontiac g6 s from 2006 through 2007 have a steering recall for the steering torque sensor but i gave gm my vin and they said my car doesn't have that recall.so i took my car to the dealership to have the other recalls taken care of and to check my steering and they said it is the torque sensor.why is it the same sensor as the other g6s with the same problems they have recalls and mine is not under recall.it cost me 600$.i must pay because it's very dangerous to drive.

Loss of all power steering while driving. Power steering displayed on display screen. Loss of power steering made it extremely difficult to drive and extremely dangerous. This issue could definitely cause a very serious accident. The problem then became intermittent in the following days it would take up about four time to start the car to be able to start driving without power steering. My car is not included in any of the recalls. I took to a gm dealership they diagnosed that the problem was indeed, the torque module sensor, which is the same as all the other vehicles under recall. So why is my vehicle not included?!?! i had this issue fixed today. Another issue that also just started happening in the past few weeks is my passenger airbag will intermittently will not work. The airbag display will show on my dash board and it will show that the passenger airbag is off. This light comes at random times whether or not there is someone sitting in the passenger seat. I also had this diagnosed at the gm dealership. The said it was my pps (passenger presence system) this also needs a new sensor and it will cost $700 to fix!!!! there is service bulletin regarding this for my car so they are obviously aware that this a common problem. The service tech at gm said that is extremely dangerous to drive with this (no kidding) and that if the airbag light is displayed on the dash none of my airbags will deploy. Lets hope that gm does not drag their feet on this, all someone needs is to loose their power steering, crash, and have no airbags deploy. I have not had my airbags fixed as i already had to spend $400 plus to have my power steering corrected. If gm does not correct this asap i predict they will have many more lawsuits coming their way. Lets hope i do not get into a serious accident until gm decides to pay for it or until i can save enough money to fix this safety issue.
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.technicalbulletin no.: 06-02-32-007gdate: april 05, 2010subject: 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 maxx2004-2008 chevrolet malibu classic2008-2010 chevrolet malibu2005-2010 pontiac g62007-2010 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.
I have been feeling very bad shaking in steering wheel lately.took to have an alignment done and there is now a little less shaking but still shakes.wheel is actually feeling really lose which to my past experience is when the steering issue starts because its like it gets really loose before it locks up on you.well anyway yesterday while driving the power steering light came on.when i checked online regarding what can be wrong seen a recall but called gm, the dealer and the dorman mfr and all 3 said my car was not one involved in the recall.however i like others have heard a noise in my car since i got it at about 92000 miles on it.although no incident, i am very nervous since i do drive a lot and feel as though something is wrong and can happen at any time.gm called the dealer so that i can get a diagnosis and since i can't drop it off because i have no other way to leave and come back when they are done they said they can't get me in to diagnose it until dec 31 which for what is feeling wrong with the car is not very good since it is only dec 8, anything can happen between now and dec 31.hopefully with enough people having issues they will get their crap together.i feel as though after so many recalls and issues with specific models there should just be compensation to assist with getting another car instead of keep throwing us out there and risking lives.this to me is too many safety issues.i just got done having 2 recalls done on my car a few months ago which took forever to finally be recalled.by the time the recalls are being placed my car is on its last limb with that specific issue.
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.
I was driving home going 65 mph down a major highway on a clear warm night. All of a sudden my 2007 pontiac g6 pulled to the right and i couldn't correct it. When the car finally responded, iwas thrown across the highway into the divider cables.my airbags didn't deploy and the entire front end was crushed. Thank goodness i was not around any of the semi-trucksthat came up over the small hill behind me once i limped the car to the side of the road.i had to get the car towed and insurance totalled it out without any testing done. After reading on this site, it's sad to see that i'm not the only one this has happened to.thank god i was not seriously injured.
When the car is first started 50% of the time you will have no power steering at all. After turning the car on and off multiple times you will regain your power steering. When driving down the road the power steering will fail sometimes sooner then other times. This can make it very difficult to turn and will eventually lead to an accident. I have checked for a power steering recall on my car and at this point have not revived one. I have checked all possible causes and have taken my car to a few shops and they all tell me i need a new steering column. Many people are have the same problem and it is not cheap the fix. I believe this entails a recall before more people get hurt.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph andmaking a turn,the power steering warning indicator illuminated with a loss of power steering.

The failure recurred sporadically. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
I believe the u-joint issue associated with 2007 pontiac g6 also affected my vehicle, although it is not showing up under the recalls for my particular vin.
My service air bag light is on. My passenger air bag doesn't work. My traction control, esc, and abs light come on. My panoramic sunroof wont close. All of these are on the recall list but apparently every car other than mine is bad. When i drive the esc light will come on and pull me to the next lane. My passenger airbag is a safety concern for my passengers. I was on the freeway and my car went into the other lane and i almost hit a semi with my kids in the car. The car makes a loud whistle noise while driving, the car jerks to the left. The car makes loud noises in the front end like the car is gonna fall apart. Replaced the front end $1000.00 worth of work and still making the noise. Ate my brand new tires up.

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

My passenger side low beams were burning out, i took my vehicle to the dealer in dec (2010), one year later, it's back. I noticed the connection was completely shorted and burnt. Prob won't last much longer.this past aug (2011) my fuel pump started leaking fuel, it was the assembly which had a hairline fracture which was unrepairable, had to replace the complete assembly for $350.for the last couple years my steering does a popping sound and feel when i make slow sharp turns (as in u-turns). The dealer temporary fixed it once, but it returned before i could even forget about it. Their solution was greasing the steering joint.my ac/heating fan was making a ticking sound while it was on a couple years back (around nov 2009), the dealer fixed the ticking but it returned last year. Though it's not as loud or annoying as before i've learned to tune it out, not too fun for my passengers though.

I have a 2007 pontiac g6 when i heard abut the recall i typed my vin# into this wesite and it showed my car wasnt under this recall , however my power steering is doing the same thing that is listed under the recall. When starting the car the steering is very loose then out of no where while driving it tightens up and barely allows u to make turns. This has happend while driving on the freeway as well as well as city streets. Im not sure why 2006-2009models are under recall for this particularbut apparently whlie researching this problem the 2007 model is not included. This is very dangerous i took to a a gm certified dealership and was told i can $850 to have fixed .. Clearly i dont have that type of moneyand why should i have to pay when its having the same issues for why the g6 has been recalled for further more why my main question is why the 2007 model is not included when clearly alot of other people are having this same issue.. No one has contacted me about a resolution which is very fustrating to say the least. This has been goin on for over a year now.

My pontiac 2007 g6 as vibration in the searing wheel while driving. Pontiac has similar complaints about this issue. I think it should be a recall instead of the customer paying for it. This is not something that other customers and i could create. I had gotten an estimate and the bill was for eight hundred plus dollars to make the repairs and i still have the warranty.

I have had this car since 2009.one of the first problems i noticed was what seemed to be electrical with the lights in the car going dim for a bit, then kicking back in.this only happens every so often.low beam headlight on driver side keeps going out, even when putting a new light in. Passenger side window is the only window that works at all times.all three other windows are inoperable and have been for years.automatic transmission will jerk while shifting gears.feels like i am driving a stick shift vehicle, but this indeed a automatic.this has been going on for several years as well. Back break lights constantly stayed on.they would go off for a few seconds when you press on the breaks and release, but then would come back on right away while accelerating. --this was a recall that has been fixed--
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.

Have to hit the unlock or lock button to get it back into place.

I stopped and turned off the car to wait for assistance. As i was waiting, i turned the car back on to keep my daughter warm. When i turned the vehicle back on the steering unlocked and the vehicle seemed okay. I drove it to the gas station which was about a mile away. I waited for my partner to arrive so she could follow me home. As we started driving home, about a quarter mile down the road it locked up again. At that point we had the vehicle towed home. We arrived home, and i started the vehicle to find the steering unlocked. Drove it around the block and it lock up. The car is currently parked, and unsafe to drive.

It had been giving me the warnings in the morning, which we thought was due to the cold. We didn't realize at the time that the power steering was electrically controlled.

Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when i was driving and something broke,i think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when i don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when i was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about0 to 40 day ago.

Power steering hose was burned by exhaust pipe and sprayed the hot oil all over the exhaust manifold causing immediate noxious fumes in cabin and immediate loss of steering while wife driving to work. This hot steering fluid could have easily started a fire in the engine bay. Thankfully my wife was able to pull over and exit the disable vehicle.had vehicle towed and repaired only for the issue to occur again within 30 days. Yesterday, i had the vehicle repaired again after making a uturn andwatching the white smoke engulf the cabin while fluid shot all over the engine exhaust.a three incidents were from burned hole through the heat shield and finally the black hose itself. This is obviously a horrible design issue and will eventually catch fire to a very hot south florida climate. This car is all stock and driven by mature adult female with meticulous service records.

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.

Steering wheel begins to move on it's own when stationary and while driving. Check steering light comes on. Its electronic assist steering. At times responce is delayed a second or so.
When making turns there is a loud pop sound coming from the steering column. Also i am having issues with my brake lights coming on while the brake is not compressed and going off while the brake is compressed. It is a huge safety issue. I have almost been rear-ended multiple times due to the fact that the driver behind me does not know i am slowing down.

While driving 2 chimes sounded and power steering suddenly went out.was able to drive home, about 15 miles, without power steering and once engine was turned off and back on power steering resumed. It seems the 2006 and 2008 models of this vehicle were recalled for similar complaints but not the 2007 which i own.
Power steering went out while driving 65 on a fairly straight 65 mph hwy. The faulty part is the torque sensor assembly wich there is a recall on for 2007 vehicles manufactured up until june 2016 i believe. Gm recall # 14772....expansion of recall 14v-153. Should recall include all 2007 pontiac g6 vehicles as this is extremely dangerous.
I was driving and my steering wheel started to jerk. I reached my destination and when i got back into my car, the display read 'power steering.' i attempted to turn the wheel and could not without extreme difficulty. I had to have my girlfriend get herself and our new born baby ready at 2am to come pick me up from work due to this. I also experienced the wheel jerking to one side while i was driving before it went completely out and it caused me to cross the double yellow line. This needs to be considered good enough for a recall since that obviously could have taken lives.

Steering making a clunk noise when turning the steering wheel around bends.
I have attempted to speak to the dealer i purchased this car from and have been unsuccessful. I have an engine oil leak, gas leak, and i am not able to turn my wheel left or right as something is and has been going on with my powersteering. I have paid for repairs but have been pushed off and given the run around about all that i have said. My car is and has been unsafe to drive and now i do not know what to do as it has gotten terribly worse. I have been advised that all recalls were done (by the dealer), and other sources have advised me they could not have been done with the problems that i am been having and that i am currently having.

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.
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.
My vehicle's electrical power steering has gone completely out. It went out once while i was fully stopped at a red light and another time while i was going 70mph on the highway, resulting in a complete loss of steering in the vehicle. While the power steering was still working somewhat, the steering wheel would jitter/shake left and right (mainly to the left). The vehicle's power steering would also occasionally be out when the vehicle is started and would usually come back on when the vehicle is restarted a few times. The vehicle is currently not safe to drive.
The steering is bad on every one of this cars, because of therack & pinion. Rack & pinion ,they go out around 50.000 miles and can cause a crash, the rear of a pontiac is not up to any code, the exhaust is under the fuel tank with a metal sheeting between them if you get rear ended they will be a fire or a explosion. Because theyare right at the plastic bumper. And gm is knows the risk but just swept under the table. Pontiac is bad for gas leaks but gmjust fails to fix the problem just like rack and pinion.
I was driving on 2/18/16 when my steering malfunctioned. I was unable to control the steering and hit another car. Lucky i was able to gain some type of control so i had a minor accident. On whictia in fort worth,texas. I have been dealing with gm since my car steering, shifting cables and other recalls occured since 2014. They have done nothing about it. On 3/3/16 i contacted them in regards to the manner, telling them about the incidents along with the case number

The steering in my car started tossing me from side to side.i fortunately was able to get it to a shop 1 mile away only to find out the sensor kit and module kit (steering assist) needed to be replaced. Pontiac had a recall on this make and model but my vin number was not one of them.upon further investigation there has been 404 complaints for this exact reason.this could end up costing someone their life.when speaking with pontiac he stated my car was not a problem??? i was on the phone with him for an hour trying to stress the seriousness of this issue and he just continued to argue.my car only has 96000 miles on it, he also stated had i a vin number that fell into their "magical" numbers and the deadline for the correction would have been may 31 but the issue happened june 1st they would not have fixed it.pontiac knows this is a serious issue, they choose to "pick and choose" which vehicle they will fix.i also tried to explain to him i know how a manufacturer works so their "reasons and explanation" was not correct. I stated to him:they know there is a problem or there would not have been any kind of a recall.i also ask him "what if someone gets seriously injured?" he stated "they should have taken care of their vehicle" nice comment for a big manufacturer to make to someone who is letting them know this is a major problem.everyone needs to put in these complaints to stop the big manufacturers from doing this.

This car makes a thumping or cluncking sound everytime i turn... I have ready a lot of complaints about this happening to this car and wanted to know what the problem is and if it is dangerous to drive, because i purchased this car used and i didn't hear it when i test drove it but now it is bothering me. Please let me know if this problem can be fixed permanately or not. Car has 97,000 miles on it and is still in great condition and i love the way it looks . I don't want to give the car up but i will not endanger the lives of my family or myself. Thanks
Was driving down the street slowed down to turn into a gas station when my car lost power to the steering. There was no warning or ding at the time it occurred. Also when turning the steering will shake and squeal on a sharp turn at times. Also has clinking noises from front steering system. Took into dealer little after we bought the car but they told us they could never hear what i was talking about. Took it in like 4 or 5 times for this issue and was told each time they did not hear it so they could not fix it. Will never buy another pontiac again let alone pay 21,000 dollars for a piece of clunk like this. Updated 12/1/2014
I was pulling into work when my car filed with smoke in cab and coming from under the hood. I tried to pull into a park spot to get out to safety. The power steering not working, it took everything i had to make the turn.the rubber power steering line was installed against the exhaust up near the fire wall andhad burned though .all the power steering fluid was pouring onto the hot exhaust.i called gm trying to get them to fix this safety issue as i am not the first one with it and wont be the last. Took the car into the dealer moss brothers in moreno valleyca. So fair there only concern is making a few bucks from the repair. I will keep you all updated as to how gm is going to handle correcting the safety hazard in their design.
Since i bought this pontiac back in 2009, it had a loud clunking and steering sound in the front end which got worse over the years. I can feel the noise vibrate in the steering wheel and it doesn't feel safe. The gm dealer said, 'it's nothing to worry about.' i had them check it out and they claim it's fine. I did online research and apparently other gm pontiac owners are having the same complaint. This is unacceptable. Why won't gm fix this?
Driver can turn on car and power steering light is flashing on display screen. Wheel is almost impossible to turn when this happens. If car is turned off and restarted it sometimes resets but not always. Has happened when driving with my children in car. Power steering problems noted on other g6 models and years with recalls and have major concerns for safety of myself and others on roadways. Would this problem warrant a recall on this electric power steering?
I was turning off a highway and my power steering went out again almost turned into car in next lane trying to turn.car constantly has power steering going out.also popping turning into parking space or drive way.this is dangerous and i can't afford to buy a different car.is gm going to fix this issue.
These past few months i have had a problem with power steering and just the other day as i was driving on a highway i almost got in an accident because out of nowhere power steering locked up on me and i couldn't control my wheels anymore...i somehow managed to get over to the last lane and turn off my car and then few minutes later i turned it back on and it was ok...few hours later same thing...and it has been happening every day since than...i do have the 10 year warranty on my car but im not sure if that is covered under it...please do something about this...this is insane and god forbid if something happens gm is looking at a huge law suit here!
When pulling into a parking lot after an hour long drive, my pontiac g6 gt hardtop convertible made a loud popand then filled with smoke and flames shot out of the hood. Prior to that there was a pop and liquids spilled onto the ground. I jumped out of my car and ran to alert a nearby police officer. We got back to the car in less than a minute and he was able to extinguish the flames. The local fire department was also alerted and they arrived to check the fire. When it was repaired the technician said that it had something to do with transmission, or some fluid, igniting.
I purchased a brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in 2008.the passenger side airbag light is always on.i had to replace the brake pads at 20,000 miles and the brakes are still giving me problems.when i turn the steering wheel, the car makes a crackling, loud sound.the headlight plugger had to be replaced due to them being burned out.i am very unhappy with this car.i am a single mother and i am sorry i did not research this car beforehand.i would not recommend this car to anyone.i took the car to the dealer and the price they will charge to fix everything is too expensive for me.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 10 mph, the steering wheel was difficult to control while turning in either direction. The power steering warning indicator illuminated.

The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
As soon as i drove the car down my street, the power steering went out. I was alerted by a ding and then a message. I pulled over as best as i could and turned my car off and restarted. I got about 1 1/2 miles and onto a major street before it happened again. Again, i pulled over and turned off my car, then restarted it. As soon as i pulled away from the curb, it happened again. Thankfully i was on a straight road, otherwise i would have been in a very bad position. When i got to my destination (i continued because i was unable to turn the wheel to turn around) i nearly was in a wreck because it was so so hard for me to run the wheel, the car behind me wasn't ready for that. I did turn on my hazards just in case. I took it to my local gm dealership and was informed that it was a safety issue but because my vehicle make model and year had not been part of the recall, i would have to pay out of pocket. Estimation = $900 approx. I'm deeply concerned about the safety of my family as well as others who own this vehicle. It clearly isn't safe enough to be on the roads. Why have all of the other years been recalled for this very same issue, but 2007 hasn't?!

Clunking in steering when exiting the turn. Clunking also happens when i stop and start moving, especially if i go to the left or right. Really loud, you can hear it even with the music playing.
2007 pontiac g6 v4, turned car on today and warning message says power steering.the power steering is shot, we have done nothing but drive this car responsibly.yesterday it was working fine, this morning it was not- can't imagine having the power steering stop working while driving!!!
When i first purchased my 2007 pontiac g6 i had to have the steering shaft replaced, now just after 6 months my power steering light came on and made it difficult for me to turn. When i stop at the red light while waiting for the light to change my steering wheel moves from left to right on its on and once i press the gas to move forward it gets difficult. I'm having such a hard time trying to drive, i really hate to drive just knowing the problem i have and at any moment the steering wheel will eventually give out. Iwent to the dealership was told the cost for repairs would cost at least 680.00 to get the problem fixed. The repairman stated he knows a lot of people that continue to drive with this problem but is that really helping me when iknow icould have an accident at anytime, at this point i don't really know what to do. Please help i really love my g6 but there really needs to be something done about the steering problem. The care was purchased at sunrise pontiac here in memphis on covington pike.
Two hours after driving it off the dealership lot, it started clunking /snapping in the frontend when i turn, go over a slight bump, brake and accelerate. No doubt there needs to be a recall and soon!
Pontiac g6 2007 suffered a total failure of the power steering column and sensor, which needed to be replaced for approximately $700.00. Although this very issue is subject to recall in other model year pontiac g6 vehicles, the 2007 is not subject to the recall.a letter was sent to gm notifying them of part failures and costs. To date, gm has not responded to the notification, and the 2007 model year has not been included in the current recall.simultaneously, pontiac g6 2007 suffered a total failure of front passenger air bag system, so that the passenger air bag would not be deployed. When i notified gm, they stated it was a"warranty" issue, and normal "wear and tear". The estimated cost of repair was over $1500, for this critical safety feature. A letter was sent to gm notifying them of part failures and costs. To date, gm has not responded to the notification.
When brakes are applied, vibrations travel through steering column. The vehicle can not stop suddenly if required due to loss of control of the vehicle.
At least twice a week since i purchased the car from a previous owner, the power steering would lock on me and i am unable to steer anymore. This would happen anywhere from going 10mph to 70mph. The only way that i could steer again is to turn off the car and turn it back on as i am moving the steering wheel to unlock it. Thankfully i managed to prevent any accidents but it is just a matter of time before something happens. I took the car to a dealership and was told it was fixed but few weeks later same problem. I would be driving on a main road and right before i have to turn it locks on me so i have to turn off the car in the middle of the road to unlock it. This is a big safety issue. Something needs to be done about it. I cannot afford to keep spending money to fix this issue. This was a problem with a g5 and they did a recall on it. I cannot believe that the same problem is happening to g6 now and they will not do anything about it. I called gm several times but they said because this is an electrical problem my 10 year power train warranty wont cover it and therefore they wont even take a look at it (unless i pay out of pocket). Never again will i buy a gm car.
At low speeds, driving around town, we hear a popping sound, that appears to be coming from the steering column.
Steering much like others complain having it serviced 2x now for grease repacking at 35,000 km and again at 50,000 after hearing clunks. Thankfully it is still under warranty, salesman has advised my a redesign will probably be done soon, i have made '!@#$% sure that should this problem continue they will be repacking it after the warranty for free and if and when a redesign is available it will be put in free of charge.
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.
Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.
Was turning car to the left when the steering felt as if it was giving resistance. Turning right was fine at that point. Upon turning into a parking lot, power steering went out completely almost making me hit another vehicle. Was able to drive car to a gm dealership. Going to get looked at on mon. No warning beforehand. No chimes,lights,etc. Could've hurt myself or someone else. Read online about multiple g6 owners like myself where the steering goes out. The car has hydraulic power steering. No loss of fluid as i can tell. Makes me leery about driving this car. Needs recalled.
My power steering signal comes on across the radio dash and then the steering wheel locks up, so then i have to turn the vehicle off and restart it.so i was told that it was an electrical issue, and now i am wondering if there has been a recall on this vehicle regarding this issue?

Baggett left for the day at 11:30 am.called back at 4:15pm and asked to speak to the next service advisor available.spoke with a gentleman who stated he knew about the issue, and that i needed a new redesigned intermediate steering shaft at a cost of about $495 to correct the problem, at which time i explained that this was what the claim was about originally, and that it should be a covered replacement, as the entire 2005, most of the 2006 and 2008 pontiac g-6,s steering had already been recalled and the fact that they have a redesign for the 2007 clearly suggest that they know the problem exist, and that i've been dealing with the issue since i purchased new in 2007 only to be told it was something i would have to live with.the gm service rep told me that i would have to talk to michael, my original case person to proceed.called michael back at 8667905700 ext 21145 and left a message as it stated they don't work wednesday's..got a returned call from michaelmid morning on 5/29/14 and explained the above noted experience.he stated that he would contact paul baggett, and that a may take two days for a resolution.i waited for 7 days until 6/05/2014 at which time i called back and left another voicemail to michael @ ext 21145.today is june 10th, and have yet to get a response.my entire previous and current generations of family have always been diehard gm people.i'm running out of patience.totally disgusted with the process .was referred to nhtsa.
Power steering gets really stiff and is very hard to control while driving. When stopped the steering wheel turns on its own and makes a grinding noise located in the steering column.the problem comes and goes without warning but is becoming more consistent now.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 55 mph, the contact heard an abnormal ringing noise. The contact mentioned that the steering wheel tightened up and there was a sudden loss of power steering. In addition, the vehicle was restarted and was unable to drive for a certain amount of time.

The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
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.
Power steering assist frequently drops out at slow speeds, requiring strenuous effort to complete turns. Steering assist returns when the gas pedal is engaged.

Since the day i bought the car with 22,000 miles on it the steering wheel makes a pop/ knock sound when pulling out of a parking spot or driving slow. Now at 47,000 miles its getting worse its almost scary to drive hope i don't kill anyone. Going to take it in but seems like gm could care less...
As i was driving my vehicle, the power steering went out and my car radios screen displayed "power steering". Before the steering went out, the steering wheel itself was shaking back and forth while i was driving and while i was parked. I turned my vehicle off and then back on, and the power steering was working again only to turn off, once again, while i was driving.
While driving on the highway the power steering indicator came on and sounded and the power steering on my 2007 pontiac g6 stopped working and it was difficult to steer the vehicle. I was able to reset it by restarting the vehicle but it will continue to lose the power steering. My steering wheel shakes even when i am at a complete stop. I have spent too much money getting parts replaced and the issue continues. I don't understand why gm does not have a recall on this car for this problem. This is extremely dangerous for the power steering to stop working in the middle of driving.
While driving down the road, the car lost power steering and became incredibly difficult to drive.

My brakes lights are staying on while the brake pedal is not pressed and going off when it is. I've replaced the brake switch still not working. The cruise control will not work. When you press the brake pedal the wheel shakes a little bit and the car likes to pull to one side. After reading a few of these reviews and noticing that everyone is having the same issues, somethings needs to be done about this it is not safe for my family to be driving this car the way it is. Im afraid that nothing is going to be done in time until it is to late for someone.

On my way into work this morning, the warning for "power steering" flashed on my car and the steering suddenly quit working on my 2007 pontiac g6. I was going about 40 mph on a straight stretch through town. Luckily, i hadn't merged to get on the interstate yet. Took the car to the nearest dealership and they informed me it's the torque sensor on the electric power steering. They also stated that there was a recall for 2006-2007 pontiac g6's, but that my car/vin was not covered under this recall as it was built outside of the batch of cars the recall covered. I have to pay $230 out of pocket until they decide that this is an issue. This is clearly a manufacturing issue and could be very dangerous for all drivers on the highway.

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.
The power steering first began to fail upon starting the car.if i turned the ignition off and then back on the problem was corrected.after about aweek of this the power steering began to fail while i was driving.i had to pay over $800 to have the steering sensor and power steering motor replaced.even then, the mechanic had a very difficult time getting the new sensor to calibrate.

I ended up having to replace the power steering control module and the steering column. ($1,249) however, it is still hard to steer and i am not satisfied at all with the outcome.this vehicle is dangerous!
Steering wheel started jerking.then steering wheel acted as if it would lock up while driving.vehicle continues this behavior, also steering will jerk left then will jerk right.at one point in the last month, the power steering light came on briefly, but then went out.vehicle continues to perform poorly with steering.very disturbing to try to drive this vehicle at highway speed and now tend to stay off the highway with it altogether.2006 and 2008 models have already been recalled due to this defect.

Recently my pontiac g6 has been having power steering failure. Whenever i seem to turn the car to the left the steering will lock up. I have taken it to the pontiac they said it was the steering column. This has been a persistent problem. I worry that it might lock up and cause and accident.
I have had several issues with my 2007 pontiac g6the steering wheel sometimes locks while steering and has gotten extremely stiff while turn that i have been unable to complete the turn. The steering wheel sometimes will move from left to right about half inch each while at a complete stop and in park. The front suspension seems to be loose it clucks and knocks while turning or hitting bumps the steering wheel also has a knock in it.sometimes when a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat the seat does not notice it and the passenger side airbag light says off and the seat belt light doesn't come on.
The steering column makes noise and it can be an hazard and everyone that has a ponitac g6 had have this issue.

I own a 2007 pontiac g6 gtp.i received a letter from pontiac that there was a recall on the sunroof drain hoses.i brought my car in for the correction.about 1.5 years later after my vehicle is out of standard warranty i find that they are now leaking into my passenger side seatbelt area in between the body of the car and the interior panel.the dealership expects me to pay for this since they say they conducted the repair.

We bought this convertible pontiac 2007 g6 almost a year ago & had trouble with the top not working. It has been worked on 5 times since we've had it & right now still not working. If you try to put it down it will get stuck in mid-air & may set there for 12 hours before it goes down & it will say top is not secure so you can't drive it like that. Place where we got it had it about 2 months ago & said they're waiting for a part that is ordered but we talked to the pontiac dealership this morning & they said that part is no longer being made & they told the guy we the car from if he could find the part & they start fixing it & something else is wrong they wouldn't be able to fix this car. So basically we have been paying for the car for 1 year now - haven't been able to use the top - my husband has missed work because the top was suppose to be fixed he'd try to put it down & it gets stuck in mid-air & you can't put it down when it does that it sets for about 12 hours before it will close on it's own. We can't drive it when is says top is not secure because it may blow off & then sometimes the trunk gets stuck & you can't open that and get anything our of it. I am just at a loss here we're paying for something that is not safe to drive & if you do luck out and get the top down after it's been worked on you just have to pray that it goes back up securely. And how can they stop making a part for a car that is only a 2007 & convertible top. We are just frustrated with this whole situation and still have to finish paying for this car or it goes against us. We are at a loss for what to do about this.
2007 pontiac g6 fishtailed while driving on dry roads. Consumer states that the vehicle fishtailed when she braked and tried to move right to avoid an accident.she stated that she sold the vehicle back to the dealer.the dealer stated a combination of the suspension, struts, weight distribution, and swept up design resulted in the vehicle dipping down when the brakes were applied, which lifted the rear and locked the brakes.

Vehicle accelerated violently on its own while stopped.when the vehicle accelerated suddenly, the consumer hit another vehicle.
The sun roof of this vehicle creates so much wind noise when you exceed the speed of 40mph or more that it will give you a headache. I have address this problem with the dealer (wade raulerson pontiac, buick and gmc, gainesville, florida) at least three times. Each time there is noimprovement in the problems of reducing the wind noise. Please let me emphasize that i am not the type who gets headaches.to me this is a safety issue which needs to be addressed.
I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since i have had this car i have not had the chance to really enjoy it because i am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and i have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this. The brake lights do not work when you press the pedal and turn on without the pedal being pressed. My cruise control no longer works period. A gm technician looked at my car and could not find anything that he could do to fix it. When he used the tech 2 tool, he would try and turn one tail light on and the opposite would turn on instead. Pontiac will not even look at my car at any dealer for free. They want me to pay and maybe get reimbursed for it. I have many issues with my car but this is the worst. My panoramic sun roof leaks and makes a ton of noise while i drive. The sun shade fell off on it as well.
Vehicle leak on both driver and passenger side of vehicle.after car is rained on or washed, when the seatbeltsare used, they are wet with a large amount of moisture.this has been reported 2 times to the local dealership where it was purchased and they have not responded to schedule an appointment.

I was stopped at a stop sign. Other vehicle stopped to my left, so i turned right. He accelerated, hitting my car. I had a hole in my door[ drivers] and he took my bumper off, totaling my car. The air bags never deployed. He hit me hard enough to put a large hole in the metal door, and the drivers side air bag, or any airbag, did not deploy.
I am greatly in need of your assistance. I own a 2007 pontiac g6 hardtop convertible. I purchased it in january 2016. About a month after purchase, i tried to put the top up . On its way to closing and locking its mechanism caused a malfunction and broke the part number 25887153 away.i immediately contacted the dealer @ gm of vacaville, ca.the dealership told me, 'this part is no longer available', & theyhad my vehicle for 3 weeks. I have incurred $ 1400. In auto rental fees. I have talked with more than 20 pontiac dealers all state; "we have been told by gm to say - the part no longer exist and is not available"the parts manufacture, karmann made the part for gm. They may have the part in their warehouse. But, according to their employee, gm will not give their permission to sell it the worst thing is: i have been in contact with over 25 parts dealers i called gm at 1-866-790-5600 ext. 5914235 and spoke with natalie. She attempted to assist but after no progress . A male answered the phone he indicated that he was her supervisor, however refuted to give me his name, and then stated, 'it's not available, the part is discontinued, and pontiac doesn't exist so get over it, or deal with it! it's not my problem, it's yours, and you don't even have a warranty cause its expired.'he slammed the phone down in my ear.please assist me to get the part, or buy back the vehicle and return my incurred costs of $13,500.the "top is not secure" has left no option but to purchase another vehicle. The g6 is garaged and undrivable

On whictia in fort worth,texas. I have been dealing with gm since my car steering, shifting cables and other recalls occured since 2014. They have done nothing about it. On 3/3/16 i contacted them in regards to the manner, telling them about the incidents along with the case number
I live in alaska and i've never gotten a notice and i've been in two collision because of it and i haven't known why. I've had to pay my deductible because of it and numerous damages because of it.
My vehicle was stationary at a red light waiting to turn left on a city street in park, as i tried shifting gears back to drive the car jerked forward very intensely ' which it has done multiple times before' .before reaching the drive position. It then proceeded forward out of my controlinto the back of a truck linking my front bumper to the hinge on the back of the truck.. In the midst of that i immediately tried shifting into reverse but doing so was very difficult has the car kept pressing forward into the back of the truck, so i put the car in park then back to reverse when it finally shifted into the reverse gear vigorously which then abled be to detach from the truck. I pulled to the nearest parking lot to check the damage, and seen multiple leaks not sure where from.

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.technicalbulletin no.: 06-02-32-007gdate: april 05, 2010subject: 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 maxx2004-2008 chevrolet malibu classic2008-2010 chevrolet malibu2005-2010 pontiac g62007-2010 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.
Loud constant clunking noise two weeks prior to incident pulling out of my garage and vehicle would not turn left or right no matter what,after turning ignition off and on numerous times i finally was able to get vehicle back in garage after doing some research on these cars they are known for having power steering and suspension problems also these vehicles have been in numerous auto crashes because of this! this vehicle also only has 70,000 miles on it there is no recall on this vehicle whatsoever,why is that?because obviously someone at gm dropped the ball!!! i am in the military and i am by no means financially able to continue to dump monies on a vehicle that gm should repair at no costs that has safety issues!!!
Front end rattles and knocks. When driving over bumps, loose control of steering. Gm needs to recall for these problems.

My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why.

Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
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!
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact heard a loud pop from the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop for the replacement of the tires. The mechanic advised the contact that the driver side lower ball joint was loose and would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.updated 05/10/12*lj
We have a clunking in the front end of this piece of crap while turning. We have replaced the strut & spring assembly and sway bars in the front, as well asthe rear shocks. Now its getting hard to turn and appears to be the power steering or a steering shaft issue. Also the passenger side airbag light is now on after the fuse for the cruise control blew, replaced fuse and still remains on. I purchased this car for my 16 year old daughter and now feel its a death trap, there appears to be numerous problems with this car and no recalls. How would you feel if it was your child driving it, or yourself for that matter. You really need to get it together and do something!!!
I bought this car, a 2007 pontiac g6 gt coupe about 2 years ago and it only had 37,000 miles. It now still only has 75,000 and the ball joints are out! this should not happen this soon. Ihave another car, a 1997 buick lesabre and it's ball joints are still in good condition. It has 167,000 miles. It caused all of my tires to wear out early and now i'm looking at over a 1000 dollars to fix it. This is obviously a design problem. The car is undriveable. It's not safe to be driven because of these ball joints going bad so early. I guess i'll have to go back to driving my much older but much more reliable car.
I was driving and noticed that my airbag sensor light was coming on. It occasionally comes on and it goes off. I'mhaving a issue with something underneath my car. I replaced tierod and got two front end alignments.since purchasing this car in october 2013 i complained to dealership my concerns for my car not feeling safe. It seems to be something in steering or underneath vehicle.my thermostat gauge fluctuates from zero degrees to 220 degrees while driving.water pump was replaced and it still occurs.
Two hours after driving it off the dealership lot, it started clunking /snapping in the frontend when i turn, go over a slight bump, brake and accelerate. No doubt there needs to be a recall and soon!
In less than a year i have replace the wheel bearing hub twice on both sides, issues with the abs twice, all at my cost approx. 2000, now this month my brake lights run while driving and turn off when i press on the brakes. Seriously what is going on with the g6.
Driving during snowy conditions, i began to lose control and spin out.i attempted to correct my steering, then my car fish tailed. I slid into the ditch, never used my brakes. I took out a sign with the drivers side and hit about 3-4 trees with the front end. My airbags never deployed. Thank goodness no one was injured, but the amount of damage done and how many things i hit, shocks me as to why my airbag never deployed.

Left passenger headlight constantly goes out. I have replaced bulb several times but when i took to the shop the plug was melted. I had to buy a replacement headlight ensemble.several cars this model is driving around with one headlight on dim and two on bright.
After coming to a complete stop - when i begin to accelerate the car does not want to move - then i have to let off the gas and try again it will slowly move and then jerk.it does a hardshift and will do this at random times- no matter if i have driven 0 or10 or 100 miles . Sometimes it will hardshift when i first leave in the morning and sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes it hardshifts mid day - but it is always after a complete stop. If i use the tap shift then it does not do this. Others have been recalled for transmission problems exactly of this nature - but i do not see my specific vin listed with a recall for this - i know 1 other person with this same car and they also have the same problem. Campaign# 14v224000 -recall # 14152.my make, model and year are listed &i have owned my car since august 2013 and have never received anything regarding this recall. When i search my vin this recall does not show up but there is obviously an issue -
For awhile now my check engine light has been on and my no traction control light has been blinking so i had a full diagnostic inspection done that read nothing. As a result, i had them do a fuel system cleaning since there is a small jerky feel every time i drive. I also had them do a break fluid exchange but the no traction control light still blinks. Along with that, most times after fueling up my car, my car drives well and just fine but on september 18th, after fueling up, i was turning into traffic proceeding to the farthest lane so that i can turn left into my apartments then pop! and the steering wheel locked and the gear had locked in drive. This scared me so bad so i braked in every way i could hoping i wouldn't crash then tried shifting gears and cranking my car again. I got into the gates and into the parking lot then my car stalled and cut off again. I finally parked my car, popped the hood, and there was nothing wrong that i could see from my view. So, the next day september 19th i drove to class that morning and it stalled a bit any time i increased my speed as if it wanted to cut off. I got into the parking lot of my college and it cuts off as soon as i begin to turn into a parking spot between two cars. I crank it up, complete my park then i go inside for class until lunch. On lunch, i crank up my car and wow the check engine light is finally off but as usual the no traction control light is blinking. I test drive my car to the local winn dixie and back and on the way back pop! then it stalls to cut off but doesn't cut off so i take it back to my college before lunch is over and park it. Now it's the end of the day and i'm out of class and headed home. This time i make it into the gate but i'm getting close to going over a speed bump and pop! it doesn't cut off but it's stalls badly like it wants too so i proceed to drive then park it. Please, help.
I hate my g6!!!! i am so disappointed and will never buy a pontiac of gm car again. First of all my power steering goes out everytime it rains causing me to have to stop my car in the middle of the road and nearly get into a serious injury accident. Next, my passenger head light has been replaced at least 20 times ive had the entire head light itself replaced ive had wiring replaced and it wont seem to last for more than a month or two... My radio stays on sometimes after i have shut my car off and taken my key out and opened my door, what the heck! and lve had some weird clicking noise i have no idea what it is. And lastly, now everytime i turn on my car my trunk opens up!?! ughhhh!!!!!!!!!
My son was driving at 5 pm in stop and go traffic.he hadbeen cut off by a driver who then slammed on their brakes. (out of town driver) when the car ahead of him stopped my son was driving at approx 30 miles per hour.my son slammed on his brakes with two car lengths ahead of him and the g6 rear ended the car ahead of him.when i was contacted my son reported the car panic brake assist feature did not seem to work. He indicated the car was not stopping despite his hard braking.we have had new brakes installed on this car in february 2014. My concern: a gm recall 13036 was issued and parts were unavailable.to correct this panic assist braking features.the accident took place on 9/3/14 and i received a letter on 9/5/14indicating parts to correct this were available. My son has never had a traffic citation or warning and is now considered responsible for the accident.most likely the car has been totaled.
Takata recall, i have a 2007 pontiac g6 base model. It has 110,756 miles and it breaking down badly. The gear shift, transmission and steering wheel control all started to mess up around the same time. My friends father had the same exact car a few years ago and said that they have a transmission problem and to call the dealership and/or the manufacturer to find a solution to my problem.
Returned to car,after leaving the gym, car would not start making loud noise when attempting to start. Triple aaa came attempted to charge battery then change battery still not starting so it was towed to dealer.dealer reported could not get engine to go forward or backwards questioned if warning lights came on or any leaks which there were none, informed i would need new engine and decided to go forward with that. Rebuilt engine put in vehicle, dealer then informed me that car had loss of power no acceleration that the catalytic converter is bad and needs to be replaced, but is under warranty by gm. Now i'm upset that theres been a known problem with the catalytic converter, i was not notified and it cost me an engine.
Water intrusion into rt.back seat and floor. Vehicle was not being used.
My car would turn it self off while driving down the road.
As i was turning right to a stop light i was using my brakes and the car wouldn't brake that much until i pushed down harder than before. After turning right and going towards another stop light, i braked and the car stopped. It was still running, but the accelerator wasn't working and when i put the car back into park then drive, nothing happened. After i turned my car on and off a few times, i was able to drive my car into a nearby parking lot, but the steering was hard to turn. After many turn on and offs, the steering wheel wasn't tight anymore and i had someone else drive my car to my house. After a week, my parents told me start the car and let it run for 2 minutes. When i turned it on, it made like a 'gurgling' noise and when i turned it off, it was hard to turn the key and when i got out of my car, it started to smell. Before everything that i typed that happened, my car would start up with the 'gurgling' noise and would shake.
When i turn my dim lights on from bright they all go completely out for a brief second,2 times on country road n once on the highway, in motion on straight rd very scary,lots of complaints about this..also leakin oil n noone seems to know where, n,, the light says im always in drive even when in park or rever, please help me get a recall on this problem, and oil leak for about 8 mths
Please assist me with a huge automobile conglomerate . Even theassist of the executive dept. Could not help meplease read what i wrote to the executive officer of gmi own a 2007 pontiac g6 hardtop convertiblei purchased it in january 2016. About a month ago, i tried to put the top down itsmechanism caused a malfunction and broke the part number 25887153 away.i immediately contacted the dealer @ gm of vacaville, ca.the dealership told me, 'this part is no longer available', a week later. Needless to say they have had my vehicle for 3 weeks. I have incurred $ 1400. In auto rental fees.they have attempted a mass search for the part as did i, to no avail. I have talked with more than 20 pontiac/gm dealers around the u.s. They all state; "we have been told by gm to say - the part no longer exist and is not available"i was always told: "by law an auto manufacture must make replacement parts available for up to 10 years.the parts manufacture, karmann made the part for gm. They may have the part in their warehouse. But, according to their employee, gm will not give their permission to sell it - even to a gm dealer.the worst thing is: i have been in contact with over 25 parts dealers and they all have said: "you are one of hundreds of calls we are getting about this same problem"..i am a single hardworking mother who was finally able to purchase herself a dream vehicle, only to have this happen with no resolution in sight.please assist me to get the part, or buy back the vehicle and return my incurred costs of $13,500.
I've had several problems (4) to where my power steering will go out. I wouldn't be able to turn my steering wheel properly. I've had to get this fix multiple of times and decided to check and see if there was a recall on my vehicle for it. I don't see it so i decided to right a review about it. I hope this helps someone else not just me that fears for this to happen to them. Also, the driver (front) and brake/reverse lights has went out. I can't seem to get anyone that knows how to fix my brake/reverse lights. I've got my driver side fixed several time as well and it still tends to go out on me.
Airbag light comes on all of the timeafter startingthere is an odd whistle type noise that we cannot figure out. It occurs when accelerating.
Power stirring went out suddenly causing the car to shake and not respond properly to driver operation. Other males have had issue but 2007 g6 hard top convertible didn't make that list, even though many other owners have had this safety issue on same model and year.
The hardtop has no power it retractable hardtop control module is bad i can't drive it it got a dic code saying top insurcure trunk insurcure.
Water getting into right rear floor board. Can not identify from where. Have seen many complaints online.

Car smells like gas when driving and when parked. It also smells like gas when it's off.
The sensors in my vehicle doesn't work! i always get a service alarm saying check passenger air bag the passenger seatbelt indicator comes on when there's a passenger thereand the seatbelt is on. Also mysteering wheel is crazy, my signals doesn't work well becausemy steering wheel stays at a 90 angle after having an alignment. There are plenty of people i haveheard has these problems. In the incident of an accident, death, etc. Ibelieve thecompany should be held liable. One day i was told there was a recall on my vehicle for the seatbelt and airbag problem, by a pontiac dealership, now no one know what i'm talking about. I believe this should be a recall as it can result in severe injury and especially death.
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 a 2007 g6 with 75,000 miles on it and every-time i try to back or pull out on a parking lot or turn my car stalls out and their is no check engine light on i have almost been hit several times because it stalls out in the middle of intersections and when i am turning i also have a problem with the break lights staying on when i am driving i have almost been rear-ended a few times because of this. I also notice that the car will kick into gear and jerk itself without warning these are all very serious issues and make me terrified to drive my car so i went to my local gm dealer and they said that their are no recalls for my car but they can run a diagnostic test for $118 and i would have to pay for any repairs that need to be made because the warranty was up in 2010 which is ridiculous gm should recall these death-traps before someone is killed or seriously injured.
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 !!
Engine began running rough. Car does not start easy. A few weeks later a timing chain broke
Front drivers side factory headlight (left side) became hazed over when car had low miles and had always been stored inside. Car has always been kept very clean! noticed many other pontiac g6s' having the same exact issue.
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.
While driving on highway at 60 mph on highway right line almost at my exit . The gps fell from the window and must of hit the area of the shiftcolumn it didn't come out of drive though.the car shut off.i was able to move over to the shoulder push the flashes and emergency break when the brakes did not work just a large nose steering didn't work well.bringing it to the dealership and have them check the steering column out again.this is the 2nd time the car shut off while drivingi feel this is a part of the original recall in 2015 that listed this make, model and year pontiac g6 2007massachusetts route 2 west leominster. Ma.restarted the car, got to my destination, and drove home that night lower speeds.
Cruise control works intermittingly. Today, cruise control did not go off when brak pedal was depressed. I had to repeatedly stomp on the pedal until it finally went off. Vehicle was on the garden state parkway, as i was approaching an exit.
Brake lights were reported on while i'm not depressing the brake pedal and going off when i press the brakes in.i started having trouble shifting out of park, and my cruise control works intermittently.
Brake lights always appear on when driving, brake lights go off when brake pedal is pressed. Because my vehicle shows that the brake lights are always on it effects my cruise control and it will not engage when driving. I have been pulled over and close calls of being hit because when i am actually braking, it shows i am not so vehicles behind me do not know i am applying the brakes.
While driving on highway coming to work, i was driving around 55 mph and my cruise control automatically came on and was stuck. Even when i attempted to hit the brake my cruise control was stuck at 55 mph. I kept stomping the brakes till it finally shut off!
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights would illuminate when the brake pedal was not being depressed and they would not illuminate when the brakes were being depressed.the contact also stated that the cruise control would independently activate and deactivate when the brakes were being depressed. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 75,000.
While driving down the highway, i attempted to engage the cruise control, and it would not set.later that evening, i noticed in my rear-view mirror that the brake lights were very bright while driving down the street.i tapped on the brake pedal, and the lights went out.a couple seconds later, the bright brake lights came back on.i tapped on the brake pedal again, and the bright brake lights went out.i pressed on the brake pedal again, but the brake lights did not come on.i have researched this problem on numerous auto forums and have found several different fixes for this issue.i believe that this is a serious safety issue because vehicles following my would not know if i have applied my brakes to slow down or stop.
2007 pontiac g6, followed wife home noticed that her brake lights where always on except when she was slowing down.they appear to be the opposite way they should be..very dangerous!!!
One day, without any incident, the brake lights started acting up. When not applying brake, brake lights shine. When i hit the brake, the brake lights turn off. I have had the brake switch replaced and have had dielectric grease put on conductors. The problem went away for a few months and now is back to acting up. I have read many other posts and blogs about said problem and i cannot believe that gm and the nhtsa have not done something for models newer than the 2005 g6. Someone is going to get killed because of this faulty system. I want these problems fixed before someone gets seriously hurt because of the company's negligence.
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 are coming on while accelerating and going off when the brake pedal is engaged. This is extremely dangerous to my family but we are traveling and will have to take care of this at our destination. The cruise control is working intermittent and the shift interlock needs excessive pressure to unlock the shifter. I see this is being looked into for a recall this needs to be fixed before someone is hurt!

Last week i was following my son down the highway when i noticed his brake lights were on while driving.i also noticed that when we approached a stop light, his brake lights went off.i have no idea how long he had been driving his vehicle with no brakes lights while braking. Hindsight, most likely, whenhis cruise control stopped working (early summer).he is a college student that attends a university 3 hours from home and travels the interstate frequently. This is an extremely dangerous situation and i find it very negligent thatthere has not been a recall on this faulty sensor. Would any employee of general motors want their child driving a vehicle with no brake lights?please put a recall on these vehicles for this problem.
While driving home from work on the interstate my brake lights came on without any application to the brakes and my cruise control dis-engaged. My brake lights remained on all the way home and my cruise control would not work. The next day they were working normal at first and then the same thing happened again.
My hand hit the key in the ignition switch and the vehicle cut-off(lost all power).i could not accelerate, i had to stop in the middle of the roadway and turn the switch to off and crank the vehicle again. After thinking about it i can recall this happening years ago, i thought nothing of it.
March 2008 my car started not responding properly with my throttle pedal position. I took it to 2 car dealers under warranty to have it repaired. While in stop and go traffic the car will accelerate on it's own. It has traveled in excess of 35 mph on it's own - i usually shift the car to nuetral to get it to stop. As of july 1 / 2008 the dealer has all but given up repairing this problem. I now have parked the car because it is unsafe to drive and hired a attorny to fight gm to repair or refund my money for this car.
Since last year, let's say in spring, i had problems shifting out of park. Doesn't do it every time.later i noticed that my brakelights are always illuminated. Will not change if the brake is pushed. But if i push hard enough on them they turn off all together. When pressed on the brake again they do not light up at all. So after a few seconds the lights all come back on when i am not pressing on the brake. Back to the beginning. Also my cruise control turns off when i'm using it. Sometimes my lights go in and out of climate controls. Now i called gm about the recall on my make/model/year and gave her my vin number. She said i am not currently included on the recall. How is that possible? i need this fixed before i get a ticket or get into an accident!
A year ago during very hot weather in wi the cruise control would not work.after the heat subsided the cruise control worked again regularly.in the last couple weeks cruise control was not working again.friends following me one day said my brake lights seemed to be on when driving and off when braking.a local mechanic replaced the stop light switch after receiving the code during a diagnostic test.i was informed he could not troubleshoot the cruise control problem and it would need to be seen by a dealer.this is very concerning if other drivers cannot see i'm braking when following.what is being done to remedy this problem that appears to be a nuisance for many others?
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 uproute 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 notallow 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.
My first incident was with my speed control disengaging while driving on the freeway. Then my stoplights stayed on while driving and would go off when i would stop.had my mechanic look and he put on a new brake switch. That did not fix the problem.then we did a search on the internet and found other complaints and then looked on this site.i then took my car to the gm dealer where it was purchased and explained all this to themstill wasn't fixed and i must take it back to them again.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the engine stalled as the electronic throttle control warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle restarted on the first attempt and resumed normally. The failure recurred on seven separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 42,820. Updated 06/16/14*lj updated 8/15/17
2007 pontiac g6. Consumer writes in regards to gmrecall# 13036.* ldthe consumer is seeking reimbursement.
Driving on thehighway with the cruise on. The cruise control shut off and brake lights were illuminated withouth depressing the brake pedal. When the brake pedal was engaged the brake lights turned off. I have replaced the brake light switrch, fuses, added dieelectric grease to the nodes, removed the battery to reset the computer system. The problem will be fixed temporarily and then start again. This is incredibly unsafe. Please extend the recall to models newer than 2005. This is obviously a major issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt. Gm need to fix this issue with their vehicles.
I work nights and noticed my tail lamps were really bright when i drove by reflective signs.though i didn't think much at the time this continued.i stopped for gas one morning when i couldn't get my car from park to drive.i really had to mash the brakes down to get from park to drive.i recently was pulled over due to my tail lights not working correctly.the police officer noticed that my tail lights were lit up while driving and would turn off when i came to a stop at the light and when he pulled me over.he didn't ticket me but wanted to let my know about the issue.i looked for recalls and sure enough my 07 g6 was on the recall list but apparently it's vin specific.i even took it to the local gm dealer, kerry chevrolet, and they couldn't find any recalls with my car.the person at the dealer ship gave me gm's number and even they told me i probably shouldn't drive the car.though all my issues are on the recall from the nhtsa campaign number 14v252000 my car is not included in the recall.nor is the transmission cable thing.i won't go into this.this is a problem waiting to happen.gm should make this right and all inclusive for all model years that are affected by this not just vin specific.i've been loyal to you for many years but maybe not for long!
When the brake pedal is not being used, the brake lights will stay on and will turn off when the pedal is depressed. Additionally, car hard to shift out of park, and that cruise control does not engage properly.
Cruise control turns off mid driving sometimes, and at times doesn't work at all. Brake lights come on at random times and sometimes stay on while im driving. They turn off when i actually do push the brakes. The problem is constant and has happened many many times.
I was told by a person following me that my brake lights we always illuminated, then when i actually applied brake pedal the lights went out.also, to start cruise control i must tap my brake before it will engage.then, after it is engaged, it will turn off by itself within 15-30 seconds.
Power steering not working, brakes sometimes goes too low to the floor & pedel sensor has gone off making car accelerate at times.
I have a problem that intermittently affects different aspects of the vehicle.the brakes lights will not operate properly.when the issues occurs the vehicle is very difficult to shift out of park.the brake lights will all be on with no pressure on the brake pedal.when the brake pedal is depressed the brake lights will go out.basically working in reverse.when pressure is applied to the gas pedal the brake lights will come back on.the cruise control will not operate when the issue is occurring.sometimes the issue can be resolved by stopping the vehicle, turn off the vehicle and restart.the issue will also just begin while the vehicle is in motion and may just as suddenly quit while the vehicle is in motion.there are no warning lights on the dash to indicate the issue is occurring.only at night, in a dark environment, are you able to know the issue is occurring because of the ability to see the center brake light is light.during the daylight, or city light environment, the non-functioning cruise is the only indication of the problem.improperly functioning brake lights is a high safety concern for me.when the issue is not occurring all brake lights are working properly as is the cruise control. Internet search indicates this is a common problem with this vehicle.
My brakes lights are staying on while the brake pedal is not pressed and going off when it is. I've replaced the brake switch still not working. The cruise control will not work. When you press the brake pedal the wheel shakes a little bit and the car likes to pull to one side. After reading a few of these reviews and noticing that everyone is having the same issues, somethings needs to be done about this it is not safe for my family to be driving this car the way it is. Im afraid that nothing is going to be done in time until it is to late for someone.
When i start the car the brake lights come on and stay on most of the time, without touching the brake pedal. When i do touch the pedal they go out. Also the cruse control stopped working about the same time. I had a mechanic look at it but he couldn't find the problem. I will get a hold of g.m. And try to find the problem. I'm afraid to drive it the way the stop lights work-backwards-.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6. I have been having issues with my brake lights coming on while i am accelerating and the brake lights go off when i brake putting me at higher risk for an accident. I have also experienced issues with having a hard time shifting out of park as well as my cruise control cuts off randomly for no reason and lastly i am also have a check airbag light that will not go off.
Brake lights stay on intermittently when the brake pedal is not depressed, while at the same time the cruise control does not operate. The brake lamp switch was replaced, which did not resolve the problem.
The service esc light came on,brake lights failed along with disabling the stability track, and cruise control.
Brake lights go on when pedal is not pressed, goes off when you step on the brake. Also, cruise control shuts off automatically while driving or will not engage at all.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, both brake lights illuminated continuously even though the brake pedal was not depressed.in addition, whenever the brake pedal was engaged, the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vin was not included in the nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control). The contact replaced both brake lights however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. The vin was unavailable. Updated 06/29/16*lj
While driving-the stop lights stay on, when the brakes are applied the lights go out. Have difficulty getting shifter out of park. Also speed control quit working. There is a recall for this problem-number 13036. It covers cars built between may 26. 2004 to jan. 4 2010.[ my car was built may 2007 ]. When i called g. M. Phone-800-553-6000. This is the pontiac number. They said my serial number is not on the list.{ i don't understand }. This car has the exact problem that is addressed in this recall. Problem with the body control module. This is a safety issue--- i have had drivers blowing horns at me when i stop because my brake lights don't come on.--they stay on while driving. Hope you can help me. Thank you.
1-cruise control comes back on after disengaging, loud clunk when turning, have fixed ball joints and front end stuff several times and it still clunks at low speeds ever since i've owned the vehicle. Have had issues with the brake system as well.
Radio was not working pushed the radio button now the radio comes on and off the speedometer is not working check engine light is on where the milage is it says error i saw where there is an electrical recall but dealer says not on this car.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 15 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed without a response. The vehicle unintentionally accelerated in a jerking motion. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was in operation. The contact also mentioned that a strong fuel odor emitted inside and outside the vehicle near the rear seats and trunk area. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.the contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the speed control sensor needed to be replaced. The contact referenced recall nhtsa campaign number 14v252000(electrical system , electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control). However, the vehicle was not repaired due to the parts not being available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 119,000.
Brakes lights turn on while accelerating and turn off when brake pedal is depressed. Sometimes have a problem shifting out of park. Cruise control also shuts off randomly.
While driving on interstate cruise control disengaged.also, brake lights come on when i'm not pressing brakes and go off when brakes are applied.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving an unknown speed, the brake light illuminated and turned off when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the dealers who noticed the connection was corroded and needed to clean. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred and this time the cruise control became inoperable as well. The contact was made aware of recall nhtsa campaign id number 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) however, the vin was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
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 on may way home from work, the check engine light came on and has remained on,and the transmission all of the sudden wouldn't go in any gear, i couldn't go over 20 mph, i had to pull over turn off the car wait turn it back on put it in drive, then if i would have to stop at a light or stop sign i would give it gas & it wouldn't go, again i had to turn the car off put it in park, then wait turn it on & put it in drive, also if i tried to put the car in reverse it would not go, this caused almost several times of me being "rear ended" even with my hazard lights on.i took it to my mechanic & he said it was caused from the recall (transmission recall) gm had it towed to a dealership, all they keep saying is there is no recall on my car.they said the government puts the vin #'s on for recall, so my question is, how does my car or any car get put on the recall list? when clearly my car is doing exactly what the recall states? gm states that the government is the one to put the "vin" on the recall list.
As i attempted to turn left the steering was difficult to turn and the gas wasn't accelerating correctly and suddenly took off and crashed into a vehicle ahead of me.

My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this. The brake lights do not work when you press the pedal and turn on without the pedal being pressed. My cruise control no longer works period. A gm technician looked at my car and could not find anything that he could do to fix it. When he used the tech 2 tool, he would try and turn one tail light on and the opposite would turn on instead. Pontiac will not even look at my car at any dealer for free. They want me to pay and maybe get reimbursed for it. I have many issues with my car but this is the worst. My panoramic sun roof leaks and makes a ton of noise while i drive. The sun shade fell off on it as well.
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.
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.
Driving along the road a deer came out we tried to swerve to avoid the deerand 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.
The brake lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 gt do not operate as they should most of the time. The brake lights come on when the car is running even though the brakes are not being applied, then when i do brake the lights turn off(sometimes they will flash and come back on). This has nearly caused me to be rear ended on multiple occasions with cars swerving out of the lane behind me more than once to avoid hitting the car. Also, this being a smaller issue, when the brake lights are on while i am driving i cannot engage the cruise control or if it has been engaged with the brake lights off when they come on they disengage it.
2007 pontiac g6 with multiple problems since purchased. Consumer states some of the problems are rattle in passenger side door, plastic seat belt holder broke, convertible top broke, the top was up, and would not lock, the retractable motor would not put the top down or up. Vehicle accelerated violently on its own while stopped.when the vehicle accelerated suddenly, the consumer hit another vehicle.
Brake lights fail & instrument panel shows trouble. Auto headlights don't go on/offwhen take foot of brake to put in drive or reverse or neutral car jerks badly & acceleration occurs even if idon't push foot pedal. Happens when car is stopped with foot on brake & when trying to park, when at red light stopped w foot on brake & try to put in neutral.foot on brake then when engage any gear car lunges jerks & accelerates severely forward.
I was driving down the highway with my cruise control on when it randomly turned off. The light was still on that shows that cruise control is ready to be on but it would not come back on and has been on and off since. The cruise control no longer works. My brake lights also have been acting up. While i drive without applying pressure to the brakes, the brake lights are on, but when i go to stop, they turn off.
The cruise control kicks off for no apparent reason. This happens all the time. We wanted to let you know because we read that the nhtsa is considering a recall on all 05 to 09 models. The turn signals also do not turn off automatically and i've heard this is a fairly common problem on these cars.
Brake lights, including the third brake light, appear to be illuminating when the brake is not applied and not illuminating when the brake is applied.they appear to be working opposite than intended.also, cruise control disengages intermittently and cannot be reset until after the car is turned off and started again. I have replaced the wiring harness for both headlamps because the connectors overheated and caused headlamps to fail.the brake light may cause me to have an accident and will most certainly cause me to fail the state inspection.i don't understand why a further recall has not been issued other than the 2005 models.obviously the problem is across the entire product line of g6's.

I have an 07 g6 that is having the same issues with brake lights, cruise, and shifting out of park that the 05-06 g6's are. We've had the brake switch changed twice and it hasn't fixed the problem. Even with the brake switch unplugged the brake lights stay on.

The brake pedal vibrates when disengaging the car out of park into drive; sometimes it is difficult to get the shifter out of park. The brake lights are constantly on while the car is moving. Then when the brake pedal is pushed, the brake lights turn off. The cruise control does not work either; i believe because the car thinks the brake pedal is being pushed. Updated 8/22/13 also, the cruise control would not engage. However, the light was on the steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6.from the date the vehicle was purchased, the sun visor on the driver's side hangs down six inches over the steering wheel.he took the vehicle to the dealer on several occasions; however, the manufacturer did not approve the repair of the vehicle.as a result, the dealer does not want to void the warranty and perform any repairs.the dealer replaced the visor once, but the same failure has recurred; therefore, the manufacturer stated that the visor was designed in that manner.the current mileage is 18,000 and the failure mileage was 966.

Grinding noise comes from steering column when accelerating and turning at same time (i.e. Turning from one road to another after stopping at signal or sign). Has done it since 2008. Bought the car new in aug 07. Also, driver's side window will go down like it is supposed to when door is opened but intermittently goes back up all the way right after door is opened. Have to hit the unlock or lock button to get it back into place.
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 uproute 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 notallow 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.
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 1/16/082.replaced right visor for mirror on passenger side of car 1/16/083.replaced broken cable for right rear window regulator on 3/14/084.replaced steering column on 7/28/085.replaced front brakes with high end pads estimated date 8/086.replaced rear left bulb for brake lights estimated date 10/087.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 1/20/09also 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.

Passenger window has extremely badwhistle road noise. I have reported this to the dealer 4 times! they cannot seem to fix this issue. As a result, it has rained inside of my vehicle causing both seatbelts to mildew. The dealer has replaced both seatbelts. Also, the brakes have squealed since i bought the car brand new in 2007! the dealer cannot seem to get this taken care of either.
My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this.

I financed this used car in 2010 at 27,000 miles. Since i have had this car i have not had the chance to really enjoy it because i am constantly fixing on it. I ave had a lot of problems. I have replaced brakes 2x once with rotors and they are goin out again including rotors. I am constantly replacing tires. My steering wheel pops when turning and i have had this fixed once. Traction gone. Had heat/air on and smoke smelling like a firecracker came from passenger dashboard. My biggest problem right now is that i had the whole suspension system replaced and now i am constantly replacing the lugs on my front left tire because the constantly pop off. Brake lights and headlights constantly goes out. Air bag, engine, and traction light goes on and off (sometimes staying on). Power in driver door gone out for windows resulting in 3 windows unable to roll up/down but will work when wants. Only one will go down using its own panel. Replaced a crack in lca. Remote starter gone out. Car wheel shakes occasionally. Interior lights doesn't work except front dashboard but minus where gear shaft at (went out after smoke from dashboard). Needs struts to be replaced. Also jerks with a huge pop that you can feel when putting car in gear. When accelerating you can feel it shift gears. I am currently only at about 83000 miles. Nothing but trouble. Scared serious accident may happen because of the lugs constantly poppin off. We don't know why. I called pontiac and gm and no recalls on this car except power-train and warranty for trans and none of this was covered by warranty or them period. Tired of this car so tired!! gm and pontiac need to do something this is terrible to only be a 2007.
Drivers side lock indicator broke off with no unusual damage or wear that would.have caused!have seen a lot of g6s like this!
Electrical spasms.all gauges(including speedometer and tac) flake out, bounce around, go to zero.traction control shuts down. Hvac electrical goes out.no way to see out windshield as defrost will not work when this occurs.warning lights come on an off and on again etc.this can occur when driving or stationary, you never know when it will occur.very unsafe and relates very well with recall already made by gm on 05/15/2014 for 2007 g6 but not for my g6???how???i have been fighting this for many years and can't get them to take care of it properly.dealer did actually fix one problem once when the blower fan would come on whenever it felt like it even when the car was off, key out of the ignition, doors locked, and us walking away.needless to say we had a few dead battery instances.actually had a dealer and gm involved.dealer wanted to have a blank check to continue to do diagnostics after having see the problem and extracted 17 error codes from the vehicles computer.they couldn't figure it out, asked gm who had no idea, and wanted me to let them diagnose with no limit.unbelievable.many reports of the same problem can be found on the internet.
Front drivers side factory headlight (left side) became hazed over when car had low miles and had always been stored inside. Car has always been kept very clean! noticed many other pontiac g6s' having the same exact issue.
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.
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.
Driving to work on a winter day, had the rear defroster on to de-ice some ice on back rear window.i heard a "pop" sounded like a balloon popping, thought i had a flat, started to slow down, looked in my rear view mirror, that is when i saw that my back window was shattered.continued on to work, trying to avoid bumps on freeway.no luck, when i drove over a bump the glass started falling into the back of the car.when i got to work tried calling dealer, kept getting put on hold, called insurance company i asked them if a certain glass company was on their list of repair shops, it was, i had to pay a $100 deductible, the rear window of car was replaced.i believe it was a faulty heating element in the rear window.
1. Blower motor for the heating and cooling system stop working, took it back to the dealer as it was still under warranty, but because the blower was working when i took it in the dealer said nothing is wrong..took the car in three times for the same thing...i slowly lost all dial control 1-3 except 4...in 2009 gm recalled 2007 silverado's trucks for same thing the g6 blower motor was doing. Why is gm aloud to cherry pick who gets their car fixed and who doesn't...2. Airbag light come on and says to service air bag, so i call my gm dealer he had no idea of what i was saying. I took a picture when the service air bag light came on , showed the picture to the dealer and because it did not do that while looking at the car, again they say can't see nothing wrong with it...it still happens, and i am very afraid of the air bag issue's. Beginning to think gm dealers are working with gm to avoid repairs, as my car was still under warranty. And because the car does not do it when they look at it , nothing is wrong...don't feel safe, my children are informed, if i get into a car accident they know where to look, and who to go after.. Help !
Was at the dealership getting a new regulator put in for my power window and the tech there did a inspection of my car and told me there is a problem with my steering wheel the shaft. He then continued to tell me that about 2 years ago pontiac came out with a new part to fix this problem in all the new g6s. Why was there not a recall on this matter to the pontiac owners? this is a safety matter. And there should be no expense to me or anyone else who has this issue. What can we do about this?
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 35 mph in rainy weather conditions, when the brakes were appliedwater began to leak from the sunroof into the vehicle. An authorized dealer replaced the draining system within the sunroof under the warranty.approximately 15 months later, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that her vehicle was not included in a manufacturer's issued recall related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000. The current mileage was 75,000.
My power steering keeps going out while i'm driving and it's affecting my wheels and steering. The car is in motion as this is going on.
I am the 2nd owner to a g6 have noticed since about a month or so after purchasing vehicle that when turning at slow speeds there is a clanking/banging noise.have noticed several others mention of this same issue. Now it shows obvious recall for the u joint for this vehicle, yet both dealerships and pontiac are only saying it is vin specific which to me is a crock of (you fill in).there is obviously a problem with this yet they want to do nothing.guess major accidents or death must need to result in order for them to fix the issue. Also at just any random time the airbag warning will just pop up on my dashboard.vehicle has been in no accidents, so there should be no reason to that just randomly "poppign up"i will be making formal complaints to bbb and national safety website. If you post a recall for a vehicle, it is not vin specific as they are all using the same parts.come on gm we are not idiots here!!!!!
I was driving and my power steering light came on and i lost power steering. I almost bit a car and went in the ditch. I am being told by gm that it's not covered because i have 2007 g6.
I do not remember the date or mileage but my car has many problems. The traction light came on, it says traction off. It affects the steering, breaks, it causes fishtailing. I bought this car for safety! the company should replace it or give the owners new cars or a discount on a new vehicle. I am having the traction sensors replaced costing me $400. I was told the timing chain needs to be replaced as well! i was also told it could be a recall but they are trying to charge me $1200 to change it! what do i do? its not my fault it was made with faulty parts
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph the steering began to pull the vehicle left and right. In addition while parked and trying to restart the engine it would not start. The contact had to wait an hour for the vehicle to start. In addition, the lug nuts have been bending and coming off of the wheels. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 96,818.
The contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving at various speeds, the steering became difficult to turn without warning. The contact also stated that oil was leaking under the vehicle when parked and there was an abnormal noise in the front passenger wheel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
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.
When i turn my steering wheel several things happen, a click sound going clockwise, and i hear squeaky or whining sound when i turn either way. I hear a grinding sound coming from the front tires. My signal doesn't shut off after i complete a turn.
Water pump - continuous replacement of water pump about every 2 to 2-1/2 years (after original has quit working) along with thermostat replacement. This process is extremely time consuming and onerous to complete within a typical 8 hour day, along with a fluid drain, flush and replacement with fresh fluid. Also, constant regular replacement of both front hub assemblies, though not quite as time consuming, is still a burdensome issue. Especially as neither the individual front hub assemblies or the water pump is inexpensive. The 3 front hub assemblies - 2 for the front left since april of 2016 & soon to be 2 right front hub assemblies since march of 2016 (both of which locked up or "froze up" therefore not allowing the wheel to turn at all. Both instances of the water pump failure could have resulted in very serious engine damage and/or failure had the problem not been diagnosed promptly. I can ill afford to continue replacement of either part at current prices every couple of years, never mind the inconvenience and loss of usually both class time and availability for work. Problems began march 21, 2013 and continue through today, as i am still assessing how to afford a second much needed hub assembly for the right front of my vehicle. This, along with at least another $500 (minimum) for other parts needed to complete current mechanical issues and needs, is difficult to afford. Especially when all parts that are included in the previous mentioned amount are most definitely necessary to insure the safety of occupants and others who may be around should one or more parts fail while vehicle is in motion.
