Passenger air bag warning comes on.. Had it repalce now it has to go to a gm dealer the have cleared... Very expensive.. I though airbag issues were warrantied for life of car... G8 has 99k on it... Gm should help part # 92231137
The air bag light and the tire light both come on (not necessarily at the same time) for no apparent reason when car is started, the car is not moving at this time. There is also a "service air bag" and service tire monitor" warning on the radio display. This does not happen every time the car is started. Also, if the lights, etc. Do not come on when started, they do not come on while driving, only after turning off and restarting the car. This would appear to be a safety issue as i understand that when the "service air bag" and air bag light is on, the air bags and possibly the seat belts are disabled. I think this should be a safety recall.

My vehicles air bags code showing on display.it stays on whether car is parked and running or while driving.i'm afraid i'll have an accident and the air bags won't work.i question whether they ever worked.i had a dog run out in front of my vehicle and couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting dog.damaged front on passenger side of car and air bags did not deploy. Now i'm driving on interstate highways, major metro streets, and i'm concerned for safety. I've found numerous complaints about air bags not deploying and major harm to drivers and passengers.i don't want to become a statistic.reports have been filed over a long range of years and i feel there's enough information to make the call for gm to recallthese vehicles and either replace the problem part(s) or buy back the vehicles.there are multiply problems with my car that i've had to have repairs made to make the vehicle functional.as an owner of this vehicle, i'm asking for help.
When the passenger gets out of the vehicle the on/off light for the passenger airbag remains on even when there is no person sitting in the seat. The seat belt light also remains flashing and dings when driving. This is a distraction. The dealer informed me that it was a 1100 dollar repair. The repair is not covered under my warranty and if left un-repaired it will cause the airbag to not go off in an accident. My vehicle has less than 30,000 miles on it.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the air bag indicator flashed and remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
My 2009 pontiac g6 had approximately 75,000 miles when the air bag light first came on. In the beginning, the light appeared intermittently and seemed to be linked to a sensor malfunction in the passenger seat. Certain seat positions and passengers (weight?) could fix the problem but only for the duration of the ride. Over a period of many months to a year, the service air bag light would intermittently click on. Eventually, the light came on and it is now on every time i drive. This type of repair is very expensive and i was told the cost would be a minimum of 400$, without replacing the actual air bag if necessary. On another visit at gm for a recall, i was told the distributor for these air bags may have sold faulty equipment to more than just gm. I was told to report this so that the government and gm would know. I am hoping that upon your investigation, gm will commit to a recall for the air bag system. In addition, air bags should be covered under a power train or extended warranty (like how rust is covered) as they are an integral part of passenger safety. My car has never been in an accident, flooded, set on fire, stolen, or had any work on interior seating of electrical system. I never spilled anything in the interior or had anything in the car that could "pull wires" or cause any foreseeable damage.

Lights on the car starting coming on the air bag lights stay on now and will not go off .the heater in the seats also stopped working .and now when i turn the steering wheels there is a grinding sound .i thought it was the cv axles replaced ,and it did no good .it continues to make the grinding sounds when i turn ,and its hard to turn the steering wheel at times it locks up .the electric systems seems to act strange with lights blinking on the dash board sometimes .many times i have trouble starting the car and have had the starter checked out and they cannot find a problem ,when it does this all the lights start flashing .once i was driving in the mountains at a speed around 45 miles an hour and my car completely cut off on top of the mountains.

I purchased car new in 2009 and have had problem after problem starting with exhaust system just weeks after i got it.it has had 3 recalls but i more are due.the headlights started going one after another and at one time all front lights were out at the same time.i had them repaired with new connector.currently, the left headlight is out again and a new headlamp and another connector was installed and still will not stay on.other owners i have spoken with have the same problems that i am having.but what can we do?i've been experiencing power steering going out occasionally for no apparent reason what so ever.there is a recall but my car is not covered under the recall although there were 2009 models that were.i was told my vin number wasn't included in the recall.the air bag alert stays on.i had it diagnosed along with the seat belt alert and both need to be replaced.the seat belt sensor module needs to be replaced in the passenger seat. My rear door locks don't work and that's electrical problem.i feel the car manufacturer knew these problems existed and should be held accountable for selling these death traps.with all these serious problems, i can't grasp why gm don't take responsibility for all this and get them off the rode. I and other motorists are not safe while i'm still driving this car.do the right thing gm and recall all 2009 pontiac g6 and make them safe.
Ive had alignments done but the car still pulls to one side. Does not drive straight or align with steering wheel. To drive straight my steering wheel must be turned to the right. It always pulls to one side and sometimes it will even jerk while driving. Passenger airbag will be off when passenger is in seat, and then sometimes will be on when noone is in the seat. The vehicle hydroplanes veey easily even with new tires on.
"air bag fault" message is displayed in the info center on the dash and air bag warning light is illuminated on my 2009 pontiac g8 gt. Codes u0170 and b0081 were read at dealership. Parts #92225595 (module) and #92220398 (sensor) are required at an installed cost of approximately $1100. Entire air bag system is disabled due to this malfunction. Research of nhtsa complaints indicates this is a very common malfunction on the pontiac g8 and there have been some accidents. I am extremely concerned about this warning message and the use of the car has been limited knowing that the airbag will not be deployed in an accident.i noticed that the part number has changed to a higher/different number than the original module part number. This indicates that not only does gm know which part to replace to solve the issue, but they created a new and updated module to solve the issue; which means that gm did acknowledge that the original module was a faulty part. Why wasn't a recall issued?air bag not functioning as designed is a serious safety issue. I see one hundred and twenty-nine nhtsa complaints for the pontiac g8 air bag module, surely there are hundreds of complaints for other gm vehicles which use the same part and hundreds more cases that were never reported.many of the pontiac g8 models have passed on to younger drivers now, maybe your son or daughter. These younger drivers may not have the resources ($1k) to fix the problem, there will be more accidents and people will die, how many does it take to get gm to issue a recall?
Passenger side airbag warning light on "airbag needs serviced" whether someone is in seat or not.i am curious if the pontiac g6 should be included with the last recall for airbags (17v601) or under the takata recall?isn't on constantly.pops on and off .date happened has been various
I was parked in a mostly vacant parking lot about 8pm. I got into the vehicle after coming out of the grocery store. I put key into ignition but did not shift out of park or move the car. I turned on the dome light to look for something on the passenger seat. As i was leaning toward passenger door, the head curtain and seat side air bags deployed literally in my face. Only the air bags on the passenger side. It was very loud and some powdery type substance had been dispensed into the air. It made interior surfaces feel a bit slippery , had a strong odor and made my eyes burn. Having never experienced air bags deploying ,it seemed like my car had just exploded.for a moment i could not see or hear. I then removed the key and opened drivers door. I saw something dusty float out on the air. I had no idea what had happened. At that point i looked over the car ,saw that the airbags had deployed.there were no other cars anywhere near me nor was there any evidence that anything had hit the car. It was quite a shock to have this randomly happen. I did not know how to deal with it . After starting the car to see how it ran ,i drove it home. I reported it to my insurance company.after many questions and several days of reviewi was told it was not covered because there was no impact and air bags inadvertently deploying would be considered a mechanical failure.

As i was driving around a curve another vehicle was on my lane heading the opposite direction as me so i turns quickly to avoid collision and i lost control of the brakes and wheels. Upon impact with a light post no air bags on my side came out.
My vehicle hydroplaned on rain slick highway. Started to spin, cut across 2 lanes of traffic. Rear passenger side bumper hit concrete shoulder divider, causing my vehicle to become momentarily airborne and rollover twice before finally coming to a stop, facing oncoming traffic. My vehicle was equipped with numerous airbags and not even one of them deployed.

Headlights on 2009 pontiac g6 gtconstantly going out. The wiring harness has to be replaced because the connection melts and have to replace the wiring harness. Called gm and they said that it is not a concern for them and will not assist in fixing the issue. This will be the 3rd time i have replaced the wiring harness to the headlights. This is extremely dangerous as it could cause a fire with the amount of heat being generated to cause the connectors to melt.. Also have to drive with the brights on to avoid being pulled over.

The low beams say on anytime the car ismotion because of the day time running lights and the wires for the h11 bulb connector melt from over heating. The wire is not heavy duty enough to be day time running light. I've replaced both headlamp because of this problem and soon i will have to again . It is ridiculous.
Both low beam bulbs burn out frequently. Upon futher inspection notice that the connector to the bulb is melting. Replaced with new connector and they to are melting. Is this also a fire hazard? no pattern they burn out frequently. The new connectior is only a week old the bulb went out again the connector is partaly melted.

G6 pontiac 09 driver side headlite goes out had replaced and went out again.
2009 pontiac g6 low beam headlight failure: "unable to find the problem" as beams work intermittently; my local mechanic replaced left light bulb, but referred me back to dealership as "this was a known defect in this car."replaced light bulb (repaired (mechanic was unsure, but replaced anyway) and low beams worked a couple of days, now one (right more randomly left), and sometime both low beams fail intermittently. My wife has received one warning from police; headlight was working again when she restarted car after the warning. With increasing frequency both low beam head lights fail while driving at night. These random failures in low beam illumination requires the driver (my wife usually) to immediately switch on high beams.both high beam lights are working at this time, but these events tend to infuriate oncoming drivers who high beam back at us, so both drivers are blinded. In my opinion, this vehicle is unsafe to drive at any speed at night or in the rain due to random low beam headlight outages. Therefore, we use of the g6 is limited. Though we like the model and had hoped for several more years of use, my wife does not trust the lights will stay on at night, or when it rains. I feel bad about dumping this car on the used/pre-owned car market without filing some form of official complaint. From a brief internet search, the manufacturer (gm) appears to be ignoring this safety issue as a statistically insignificant problem. Sadly, gm will continue to do so until people die and a class action suit is filed. I would not call the pontiac g6 a lemon, it is just plain too scary to drive under certain conditions. There does not appear to be a solution coming from gm and my mechanic can't fix it. This situation makes this vehicle useless and unsafe half the time, i.e., unsafe at any speed after dark!
Brake lights stay on while vehicle is moving causing serious safety issue. I am afraid to drive the car fearing i will cause an accident and some one will be injured because of this obvious defect.
This is on my daughter's car.i was following her and i noticed she was driving with her foot on the brake.i motioned her to pull over and asked her why she had her foot on the brake.she said she was not driving with her foot on the brake.upon further investigation i found out the brake lights were staying on when the brake pedal was not depressed, but when she depressed the brake pedal the brake lights actually went off.this is an extremely unsafe condition.doing research online i have found many other pontiac g6 owners with the same problem.this needs to be addressed and fixed by gm.
I bought my 2009 pontiac g6 sedan brand new. I had problems with my car door locks within the first 6 months. My 3-year-old niece was in the back seat and both rear door locks actually locked open!so we weren't able to shut the doors and drive under "safe" conditions. I had to bungee-cord the doors locked and drive to the closest dealership. The locks had reset and the doors were able to close. Then in 2010, my driver side door locked shut on me!i wasn't able to get out of my car. After 2 hours the door locks reset. The same issue happened again to the rear door. This time, i was able to get an appointment with the dealership. The car was under warranty at the time. I told the dealership that i have been having issues with all the door locks and they said they can only fix the one since that was the only one with the problem at the time. In 2011, i had similar issues whether the doors were locked shut or locked open. Every time i would make an appointment, the locks would reset and the problem was left undiagnosed. In february 2013, my fiance had taken my vehicle to his local mechanic. The mechanic got locked inside my vehicle!then in may 2013, i was with my niece again and the rear doors and driver door locked open! i gave the car some time to reset, and the door unlatched and closed.but then it got locked shut! so i drove my car for 2 days with the doors locked shut. I had to crawl over the passenger side seat and enter/exit through the passenger side door. The dealership told me that the lock mechanism was broken and that it needed replaced for $400 each because it was out of warranty! so i called gm. They said the door locks were not recalled, the car was not under warranty, that it was my responsibility to pay for the repair. Pontiac is very well aware of the door lock issues, and so is- the mechanic. These are faulty locks!
Passenger side lowbeam went out, replaced bulb and it went out again, inspected wiring harness and noticed it was charred and melted, and the wiring near it was also charring and insulation burning off. Replaced wiring harness, bulb went out again a few days later, inspected new wiring harness and noticed it was melting again. Suspect short as even the wires are getting very hot, however no fuse has blown to date. Concerned about sudden lack of visibility at night and about fire risk.
Recurrent issue with intermittent failure to start when key left in ignition while parked. Not resolved by replacing starter and neutral safety switch. Issue resolves each time when putting in neutral. Dealer service unable to fix after multiple attempts and refuses to try again. Offered discount for new car.
2009 pontiac g6. Problems with ignition switch. Fails to start car. May not be able to turn steering wheel. Cannot turn ignition switch to any position. You have to jiggle the key to eventually start vehicle and this may not work at all. My scenario points out that gms recall is not up to date on all ignition switches and further accidents will occur. There is currently no recall on this ignition switch. Updated 6/27/14
While driving, the gas gage and mph needles dropped to zero and the car could not drive forward.there was also an "error" notice flashing on the dashboard.it lasted for a fraction ofsecond but kept doing it about every 20-30 seconds.i realized the theft protection light stayed on after startng the vehicle but when i went out yesterday the theft protection light was not on after starting the car.it came on suddenly while driving and i was unable to get the gas gage to work.it is lasting longer now also.i also noticed the traction control words showed up on the dash board this last time.conditions were clear and dry.i did read the manual and checked the fuse as recommended.the fuse looks fine and for one whole day after removing and replacing the fuse i did not have the problem but the next time i drove, it was much worse as i mentioned above.
Was driving and saw a flame from under the hood.*ln
Brake lights are intermittently staying on continuously or not working at all. My vin shows no recalls, however when i search online, i find the recall as a safety issue. This is occurs while i am driving
Power steering is going out when it rains steering wheel gets stuck, several electric issues, temperature sensor is broken, only works when outdoor temperature is below 85 cause ac to blow hot air. When senors gets stuck engine light comes on
The solution gm has for recall #14v252000 does not work. The recall was fixed 9/2014 and on 10/31/15 the same problem was noticed.this has been noticed when the vehicle is in motion.brake lights come on when brakes are not applied, go off when brakes are applied.i brought vehicle into a chevy dealership on 11/09/15. They replaced a brake pedal position sensor.noticed on 11/09/15 in pm that the brake lights remain on and do not change when the brake is pressed. A service traction came on 11/10/15 and again on 11/17/15.i have not had an opportunity to drive behind the vehicle while this service traction light is on.i have taken a picture of the service traction light twice showing the mileage and time.i have read similar complaints regarding this nhtsa recall #14v252000 (gm recall #13036) on this website!i know this will not be taken care of unless a number of people die from an accident just like the ignition switch recall!!
I was driving down the road being followed by my wife who informed me that as i was driving down the road my brake lights were on but when i hit the brakes my brake lights went off. As days went by it continued to do the brake lighting fault when i noticed that attempting to set cruise control was quite difficult. I'm not sure about you but faulty brake lighting is a serious safety issue. To this day, june 30th 2014 the brake lights are still malfunctioning.
Power steering light on wheel won't turn and electrical sparking sounds coming from the steering wheel. Steering wheel shakes and clicks when car not in motion.
I was on the road and the anti theft lock symbol appeared just before all my dash gauges went wacky. I didn't have speedometer and then no odometer so i pulled off road and shut off car before anything else could happen. Car wouldn't restart after several attempts. Wiring harness was the problem according to the mechanics that repaired my car. I took my car in again after fix because remote start interrupted and wouldn't work and was told remote needed a new battery even though it only had 29,000 miles.
The head lights socket burn up and melt.leaves me with no headlights.this should be a recall but it it not.
Takata recall. My pontiac g6 2009 has a power steering recall but they wont fix it because it doesnt come in as a recall when they type in my vin but iv read about the recall, every time it gets cold my power steering goes out, doesnt matter if im on the expressway or just started my car it randomly will go out, i have a electric motor so i know im not just out of fluid, it doesnt happen in the summer time only winter when it gets cold. What do i do? i dont have the money to fix it and i feel it is wrong that the recall is there but they wont fix it just because my vin number does not match the recall.
I started the car to leave work and my security light would not shut off. I made a stop at a store and when i restarted the car the light went off. A few days later, my car would not start. All the lights and the radio etc came on but the car would not turn over. I was told shut everything off in my car and put the key in the ignition and turn it but don't actually start it, let is sit like that for 20 minutes and start. I did that and it worked, but i've had to do that a couple time with both of my keys. (i was told i may just have a bad key). I am concerned that this is part of the ignition switch recall for gm. I took it to stykemain in defiance oh on 6/4/14 and was told they cannot find anything wrong.
Another gm car fire: 2009 pontiac g-6. Received bcm electrical harness recall bulletin 13036 (august 2014) in the mail, 2.5 years after the fact, in spring 2017.alleged fix was applied on 5/17/17, 4.5 months later, car is totalled due to an electrical fire in engine compartment.sporadic electrical issues ensued after the recall work, headlight sporadically cutting out, trunk opening untouched, etc.stopped at a traffic light, car died, smoke then flames coming from the engine compartment. Salem, virginia fire department incident number 20174058.
Car lost power while driving on highway. Engine light came on .garage pulled codes and discovered 4 full quarts low on oil. They proceeded with diagnosis and timing chain stretched to blown motor. No oil light ever came on nor any warning from the driver info center on the dash.
In early may my 2009 pontiac g6 shut off unexpectedly while reversing in a parking spot. I tested the car in drive also and realized the ignition could be switched off while in gear. I have tried to get gm to repair the faulty ignition but since it has not yet been added to their growing list of recalls, they wont even look at it without leaving the car for a $150 inspection. This is absurd since the part should take 30 minutes to install and costs them next to nothing. I'm sure there are many other vehicles not under the recall that also have the issue. I am disgusted with gm for continuing to neglect responsibility for an obvious problem! i'm not sure what else to do at this point but to seek the help of an attorney.
I noticed that the cruise control was not working, soon after that someone told me that my brake lights are on most of the time, only going off occasionally.i have tested it, and you can put the car in park and watch the lights go from off to on with out touching the break petal. (they stay on) i am going to take it in for service tomorrow. I have found out this is not an uncommon problem. This should be a recall issue. I know this problem is under investigation. There are tons of complaints.
My low beam passenger head light stopped working and i go to have it replaced and it still won't work. We have tested the bulbs and the sockets and they are fine. Can't seem to get it figured out anywhere!
On october 7, 2014, as i was waiting for the stop light to change. My car turned off and then on again. On the following day, after i parked my car, i went to start it, and it didn't crank at all. I went to get the battery, starter, and alternator checked, they all passed with flying colors.
Driver side low-beam headlight not working.replaced bulb in 23 november 2013 and again on 5 october 2014.light went out again on 15 october 2014.dealer replaced headlight lamp socket as socket was burnt out.internet searches show numerous issues with pontiac g6 headlamps having issues with headlight lamp sockets ... Electrical arcing within socket causing carbon build up and lamp failure.this should be a recall item by gm on this vehicle to fix this safety issue.
I own a 2009 pontiac g6. Well, the door says it's a 2009, but when i enter the vin it comes back as a 2010. I have researched and found that my car was not included in the gm recall for the torque sensor assembly, which i find absurd. The power steering in my car keeps going out while i'm driving. I have almost crashed a number of times. This is a seriously dangerous defect. All the research i have done says gm is aware that this problem is affecting 2010's as well, yet they're not included in the recall. That is not fair. Why should i have to pay to fix a problem that is a recall on my gm vehicle, my vehicle just isn't included because my car was manufactured at the end of 2009, so it's considered a 2010. That is not fair. This problem is affecting hundreds of thousands of gm vehicles. They need to expand the recall to include 2010. This isn't some silly little thing that shouldn't be worried about. This is my steering. I could crash and die because they won't expand the recall. I really hope this is seen and something is done about this. I'm not the only one who is frustrated beyond words. It shouldn't be my responsibility. Gm messed up and should fix their problems in their vehicles. They should stand by their vehicles.
I purchased a 09 pontiac g6 on july 28th 2010 it had 46,000 miles 2 weeks after i bought itcuts off for no reason in the middle of the street and would not crank up it was towed to the dealership and kept it for 9 days and still would not crank they got it to crank and then lock the keys up while having it running cause the door unlock and lock on their own but didn't know why it cut off and would not crank. So i got it back 2 week later it cuts off again while driving and gave no sign it was going to cut off and would not crank so i am stuck in the road again stranded for an hour i get it crank take it back to the dealer ship they don't know what's wrong it cuts off again while driving. Take it back they don't know what's wrong and it cuts of about 6 to 8 more time while driving i take it to the dealer ship and they say the same thing and mind u these are all gm dealership and i used 3 different ones and they all say the same thing so it cuts off again i call gm myself and file a complaint they were no help and it stills cuts off til this day and it has an electrical problem as well cause the lights dim in and out when you turn on the air or heat or let the windows down or lock and unlock the doors . The engine runs rough and wheels sound like they about to come of while driving this is a bad car it looks good but drives bad and it not safe when the people who made it cant tell you why it cuts off while driving this very dangerous.
2009 pontiac g6.consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlights problem.consumer has different vehicle and odi# complaint in artemis.the consumer stated the driver's side headlight was replaced three times.the dealer wanted to charge $150 to replace the bulb. However, the consumer changed the bulbs himself. The consumer stated it appeared as if the electrical system feeding the headlights had a design problem, which resulted in customers frequently paying hundreds of dollars without the issue being resolved. The consumer believed the low beam headlights frequently failing was due to melted sockets.
Ihave a 2009 pontiac g6 gt 4d. It is currently registered to my girlfriendvin#[xxx]. Due to the electrical and technical problems this car has given use so much problems. Especially at night. Well it has an automatic light turn on and i have notes thatthe back brakes will not turn on unless my foot is on the brake. It is very dangerous for me to be driving especially with children. I'vehad cars come from around us and tell us to turn on the lights it quit embarrassing. It ended up to whatever electrical problems it had caused the car to have engine problems to were the car was saying reduced engine problems we have spend lots of money trying to get this car running but if something was fixed something else went wrong i have change the computer that cost a lot of money it has got to the point now that the cars cadillac converter, and fuel injectors have gone out. I have attempted to get the cadillac converter fixed but the best thing i could do was get it hollowed out. Know it makes a loud noise. I haven't ran the car for about two years now because the cost of repair for this car is out of my budget.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Headlamps & taillights burn out every few months. Technician at gm dealership said it is occurring in numerous gm vehicles. It is an electrical issue that causes the bulbs to burn out. Since it is an electrical issue that sends too much power and causes burning wires, i am afraid this will eventually start a fire. I should not have to switch these bulbs out constantly. I am also surprised i have not been pulled over or in an accident yet due to non functioning tail lights or headlamps. Nor should i have to pay to get this fixed when it is clearly an issue with the construction of the car. I am currently at 45,000 miles and i am no longer under warranty. I sent an email to gm (which i can forward you if need be) and a week later i saw that a recall was issued about headlamps/tail lights. A gm dealer searched my vin number and my car did not come up under said recall. I tried to call gm today and waited for 20 minutes on hold and then was disconnected. I refuse to do this again.
Vehicle brake lights remain on except when brake pedal is pushed, then it goes out. This has not caused an accident yet, but it has high potential if a sudden stop is needed there will no warning for the vehicle following ours.
Tl * the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The contact diagnosed that the starter and the batteries needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but remedy failed to repair the problem. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 77,000. Dr
The power steer quit working. The brake lights stay on when driving but go off when the brake is applied and it blows headlights on the passenger side.
Both headlight connectors melted.
Takata recall - the left dim headlamp gets so hot that it melts the wires and the bulb connector cause the headlamp to only work sometimes or not at all. This happens when ever the lamp gets to hot whether parked, or moving.
Was stopped by the police stating i had no taillights. Took the car to the dealer and they stated that the fuse was blown and replaced. Within about 3 weeks the fuse blew again. Had it in twice since and they still cannot find the problem. Keep it a few days and resend the car out. I have checked it out and it seems that when it blows it is in auto mode and when auto lights come on. They said no connection and leave it again. This is a safety issue for my family if we lose taillights at night we could be rear ended.also i am on my third set of headlights. Keep blowing out. And second set of tires.
I had someone following me home the other day and when we arrived they asked me why i kept putting on my brakes and letting off. I was not touching the brakes. We cranked up the car and stood behind it and watched and the brake lights would come on and go off without anyone even sitting in the car. I got in and started pressing the brake pedal and when i pressed the pedal the lights would go off. When i let off of the pedal the lights would come on.that's when i started searching this issue and found all the other people out there that have had the same issues with their g6's. In my opinion and everyone else that has this problem, this is a major safety issue. My daughter drives this car and it makes me extremely worried that something could happen. How in the world can gm not be taking action to resolve this problem considering how much talk they advertised about the quality of the new g6?gm needs to stand up and do the right thing here before someone really gets hurt or dies due to an accident involving these brake lights.
We have had ongoing issues with the rear running lights shorting out and the driver's side low beam going out.we replaced fuses for rear running lights 4 times.i was pulled over by local police and had to be picked up to get home, leaving the car at police station until i could drive safely in daylight. We have replaced the low beam bulb 3 times.the low beam light would intermittently work at times.now, again it is not working at all.i have read excessive consumer complaints stating the same problems with 2009 pontiac g6 vehicles.
I own two 2009 pontiac g6 vehicles. Both of the connectors in the headlights of each vehicle have melted and need to bereplaced. One has been fixed and the other is waiting to be fixed. They happened at different occasions. This seems to be common with these vehicles and the manufacturer is not taking responsibility for the problem. Please make others aware. I also had a problem with motors for the door locks on both cars going out at the same time. Thank goodness that was under warranty.
On two separate occasions the headlamp wiring assembly failed (first the driver's side, then the passenger's side a few months later). Headlamp wiring on both driver and passenger side showed evidence of high heat (melted wiring and plug) at the rear of the connector in headlamp assembly. Dealership identified this as "normal" for cars with daytime running lights. Car had approximately 57,000 miles at the time.
My 2009 pontiac g6 2.4l displayed power steering. It became manual steering. I turned the car off & restarted it. The power steering worked again. I was in a parking lot. I checked my cars invoices & the vin # check which said i had the work done. I also was driving in my driveway & the wheel would start to turn then lock up & snap back hurting my wrist. I was able to park it.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, a burning odor emitted inside the vehicle. The contact discovered that the gear console melted. In addition, the shift lever failed to shift into the drive position. In addition, the contact mentioned that the ignition key failed to disengage from the vehicle intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.the vin was not available.
Head light harness burns out and have replaced 2 times and can not get it to stop buring out so i have no head lights with this car please help im not the only one with this issue on this car. Replaced h11 h 9 wire harness h11 bulb h9 socket h9 socket.
My brake lights will come on when i am driving and will go off when i apply the brakes.also i will have warning lights come on randomly.same issues under nhtsa campaign number 14v252000.dealership has done recall work for this twice they told me and have charged me for the repairs and repairs to my warning lights as well and it is still not fixed.this happens everyday.
I have replace the housing that holds the headlights (pigtails) on both side of this pontiac five times now.the car sends too much electric current to the light bulbs that over heats the pigtails and melts them. I've searched online and have found thousands of complaints of this happening to the g6's.this has to be address and gm should do a recall to fix this before the cars catch on fire. Please email me with your response with the word "pontiac" in the subject line. This is not the first time i've reported this. Please someone do something before someone dies in an accident.
I get in my car put the key in the ignition and start my car, i then put the car in drive and get going about 35/40 and the door locks start going up and down by them self.later that day i open my door and get in my car without the key in the ignition and the door locks start to go up and down again on there own.i have contacted the dealership i purchased the car from and they tell me my vin has no recalls.really ???this has been going on for a while with the back doors and now they all do it. , i think gm needs to fix this and they need to check all pontac g6's for all the recalls they have on these cars.
Low beam light on both the driver & passenger sides keep going out. I keep replacing and immediately they go out. Bulbs were not burnt out. Every once in a while, while driving my headlights will randomly come on and go off again. The metal in the connectors are fried. I have researched and read multiple reports of the same issue that this is a wiring problem and a fire hazard. Something needs to be done about this before someone gets hurt or there is a fatal accident. Not only is this a fire hazard, but intermittently working headlights could cause accidents if randomly going out. It is clearly a safety hazard and pontiac should be held accountable for this problem.
Power steering stops working when driving and at idle the steering wheel jerks back and forth about a half an inch.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving 30 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired. When the vehicle was started, the brake light illuminated; however, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake light failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
Brake lights come on without application of brake pedal and do not come on when brake pedal is applied.recall 13036 has been applied...same problem seems to have resurfaced.can happen in motion or stationary; any road/driving conditions.
Intermittent very hard up shifts (including changes from park-drive etc), cruise flys off and stops working while going down road, speedometer stops working and flickers randomly, car flashes "power steering" on radio panel and "error" on odometer read, hard turning, car loses power as it revs to realize it needs to shift (automatic transmission)initially, restarting car would help for awhile, but now the problem is consistent. Gm dealership could not diagnose problem and thought it was loose wiring. After not being able to trace the communication errors the dealership simply gave it back with no fix or answers. Major issue considering the car has only 36500 miles to date with an issue clearly other pontiac g6 owners have had to deal with as well.the inconsistent issue has contributed to a recent car accident.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, the brake and traction warning indicators illuminated continuously. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed but was difficult to release or press down. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
Unfortunately i have experienced about all of the issues that are being complained about on here. The light connectors melting and blowing the headlights, the electrical system messing up and frying 7 brains, the brake lights not working properly, the steering acting funny just to name a few, and although i have taken the car to the dealership several times since 2010 to have these issues worked on, i continue to have the problems.i think that it is ridiculous that car manufacturing companies are allowed to let these vehicles stay on the road without doing recalls on these dangerous and possibly fatal problems.for years i wanted one of these cars after they came out and now it has been the biggest waste of my time and money.but..that's ok!as soon as i have a wreck or something happens due to one of these problems i will be dialing up my lawyer!!!
I was entering on to highway when my power steering went out.i was able to pull over.i turned off vehicle and waited 5 minutes (temp was -18f), started vehicle and power steering was engaged.
I purchased car new in 2009 and have had problem after problem starting with exhaust system just weeks after i got it.it has had 3 recalls but i more are due.the headlights started going one after another and at one time all front lights were out at the same time.i had them repaired with new connector.currently, the left headlight is out again and a new headlamp and another connector was installed and still will not stay on.other owners i have spoken with have the same problems that i am having.but what can we do?i've been experiencing power steering going out occasionally for no apparent reason what so ever.there is a recall but my car is not covered under the recall although there were 2009 models that were.i was told my vin number wasn't included in the recall.the air bag alert stays on.i had it diagnosed along with the seat belt alert and both need to be replaced.the seat belt sensor module needs to be replaced in the passenger seat. My rear door locks don't work and that's electrical problem.i feel the car manufacturer knew these problems existed and should be held accountable for selling these death traps.with all these serious problems, i can't grasp why gm don't take responsibility for all this and get them off the rode. I and other motorists are not safe while i'm still driving this car.do the right thing gm and recall all 2009 pontiac g6 and make them safe.
I was driving my care and smelled something burning. I looked at mt temp and it was fine. The smoke star6coming from underneath the dash. I turned car off then flames started burning through dash and under the hood. This took place in my driveway
The drivers side, low beam headlight has been replaced several times. The wiring harness melts! this seems to be a common complaint with g6 owners.
My headlight went out about 3 weeks ago i replaced it and then it went out again and had someone look at it and was told the wiring was melting which i had the same thing happen on the driver side last year and had a friend replace the wiring. Contacted pontiac and they said i have to get diagnostic testing done.i have noticed this on alot of these types of vehicles.
Issues with low beam headlights randomly going out then coming back on at first for a couple of months, then went out completely. Replaced bulbs (low beam) with same problems. Finally found that the low beam light sockets (primarily passenger side) were arcing and shorting out causing bulbs not to work. Recall should be issued to have gm remedy this problem. This is a chronic problem with this line of cars!
My headlight on the passenger side of my car continually goes out even with a new bulb.new bulbs last maybe two weeks and then the light shuts off, and will turn on only if i hit the light.i have spoken to several other g6 owners and they have had the same issues with the passenger side headlight.i have a 2009 g6 gt with approximately 118k miles.this issue has been going on since approximately 85k-90k miles.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. After starting the vehicle, the brake lights illuminated continuously. In addition the service traction, check engine, and air bag warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
The dim headlights keep going out i have replaced them 3 times and still go out i believe it's in the wiring because if you hit the headlight they will soon come back on. I've read the wiring harness gets to hot and melts the wires seems like a fired hazard to me.
Vehicle was in motion on a residential city street when i lost power-assisted steering attempting to make a right turn after a full-stop at a stop sign. Suddenly, it required a great deal of effort to turn the steering wheel. Nhtsa campaign id no. 14v153000 exactly describes the condition experienced with my vehicle:"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." i did not receive a recall notice for my vehicle.
Less than a month ago i replaced my passenger side headlight.this week it went out again.i have already had to replace the driver side light about three times.i bought this car brand new.i changed the fuse for the headlight and it did not solve the issue.two days ago my tail light stopped working.the following day it worked in the morning and stopped working in the afternoon.after finding so many complaints on different forums online i'm not sure how gm can not be recalling these vehicles for this problem.i have already gotten pulled over and told that i would be cited the next time.i am afraid that the driver side headlight will go out before i can get the passenger side fixed.oh yes and my lock chamber on my passenger side back door has gone out.i had the driver side back door fixed when my car was under warranty however, i am on a tight budget and cannot afford to pay over $300 for the dealership to fix this.apparently this is also a problem with the g6.i am nervous to drive my car (that is not even 5 years old mind you) at night!
The rear passenger door lock fails to open at times.some days it will unlock, others it will not.upon calling a few dealers i was told that it is the door lock actuator.as this is a safety feature, i feel it is a safety issue when it does not operate properly.i was also told it would cost ~$350 to fix.again, i feel that this is a safety issue that gm should be made aware of.the only way to unlock that door is to get in the car and reach across and pull the lock up, pulling on the door handle does not pop the lock.
September 10, 2014dear national highway traffic safety administration & gm customer assistance center,i have been the customer of two general motors recalls.first recall notice was for a 2007 chevrolet cobalt, ignition fix and 2009 pontiac g6 for a body control module connection to the brake apply sensor.i had difficulty waiting for the parts for the chevy cobalt.first call i made to the dealership, was greeted with the following response (from the dealership) call back in april (my call was made in february ? when i received the letter).i called in may, they still didn't have the parts for the repair, and they were unwilling to put my name on a list to call me back.i finally called another dealership ? they ordered the part and called me back and repaired my vehicle.so, when the second recall notice was received for the pontiac g6, i called the second dealership ? where i finally had resolution to the first recall.this dealership is 30 minutes from my residence.the first dealership was 2 miles from my home.i called, they had the parts and i made an appointment for 3:00pm on tuesday.i took time off work, arrived at the dealership, and i was told they were out of parts.how does that happen?when you make an appointment, shouldn't your part be set-aside?i don't understand the un-professionalism from the dealership.
Blinker switch won't turn off after you turn corner.
Headlights going out. Poor connection, burning/melted headlight socket, headlight choose when they want to work. Actions taken, i didn't wait for a recall. Burnt socket lead me to believe the harness wasn't able to withstand the amperage. I replaced the wires running to headlights with a larger gauge. Replaced the headlight connector. All has been well since, going on 3 years now.another wiring issue is the injector/can sensor harness. If this becomes loose in any way the car runs very rough, poor fuel, low idle, or stalling. At the time my vehicle stalled and was running rough i had no faults or cel. I thought my timing chain was about to snap. All this due to a electrical connection that wiggled just a tad loose.
While following my wife in our 2009 g6 i noticed that she was ridding the brakes. When i asked her why she said she wasn't using the brakes at all. The brake lights are coming on and staying on even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
My driver side headlight was out. I replace the bulb from 2 different auto store and still not working. Then my dad look at the connector look and seen that 1 of the wires was burned out. So i was told to take it to gmc and see if they can fix it since i had extended warranty. After telling service dept my issue and what i thought was wrong; i get hit with a $89 diagnose it fee that i had already had told them what was going on. They called and let me know that my connector was burned out and need to replace them in order the light to work and it wasn't covered thru my extended warranty so i had to pay $290 to get fix.after google this issue looks like this a on going issue for this vehicle that i think should be a recall before something else get shortage due to burned out wiring. I don't have the vin# and mileage left paper work at home.
Driver side, rear passenger door won't lock or unlock. Also, a couple months later, the driver door did the same thing.
My brake lights stick or remain on even when they are not being pressed making it appear that im riding my brakes. I have been pulled over by the police once already. I have replaced the brake light switch twice and it works for a couple of days only. I have seen a recall in the 2005 and 2006 models but it is still occuring in the newer models. I have seen hundreds of blogs about this problem in this particular model of car. This is just an accident waiting to happen when your brake lights arent working correctly. As well as the car getting stuck in park.
Letter from constituent regarding her pontiac g6 coupe; she's having problems selling her vehicle due to a recall on the vehicle; request the advice as to the best course of action that can be taken against gm for the swift resolution of this matter. *sd
I have replaced the driver side low beam headlamp socket twice.both times it showed signs of it being melted.passenger side head lamps work, sometimes it requires a tap on the lens cover to get them working.playing around with how they sit in the socket works, until they wiggle out and no longer work until you wiggle it back in, or tap the lens cover.i have been pulled over several times because of my headlamps.
Temperature gauge stays at 0 when it is below 80 degrees outside, and when temperature gauge is at 0 degrees the a/c will not blow cold air. Check engine light stays on and says something about not above operating temperature when i scan it.
Rear passenger door will not lock/unlock. Heater on front passenger seat will not work. Tire service monitor comes on randomly. Cruise control works intermittently, but does not work more often than it does. Loud, rubbing noise coming from steering column when making turns. Low beam headlights work intermittently (got stopped by a policeman and warned of a citation the next time i would get stopped). I had one bulb changed. Two weeks later it went out, but the bulb was not burnt. Then, it started working again. A month or so later the other one went out. I had both wiring harnesses changed and new bulbs put in. Recently, i was told i had a burnt headlight (low beam again).i have been stopped on the interstate to be told that my brakes were flashing (while driving) and then they were working opposite of what they should be (brake lights on while driving and off while braking). I have seen other pontiac g6's with the same issue. This is a very dangerous issue in my opinion as i could easily be rear-ended due to faulty brakes.i have read similar issues by other pontiac g6 owners. Will recalls be issued for any of these issues? i am a single parent and do not have money to pour into this car so most of it stays broken!sad considering i paid over $26k for this car and still owe over $10,000, yet it's worth probably $7,000. I can't even sell it with these issues!!!i would love to travel, but i don't even feel safe in this car any longer.
Just purchased a g6 and several recalls have been issued for 2009.
Issues with head lights have burnt out the harness and will not stay running even with replacing bulb and new harness and blowing a cell in the battery to i have no running head lights.
The power steering goes out intermittently while driving the car and only turns back on if the car is restarted. It has now happened to me coming from idle and while moving above 50mph on the freeway
For approximately 6-8 months my headlights have been constantly going out. I have replaced headlights once a month since it began. This is extremely hazardous since my headlights will go out randomly while i am driving. I figured since the brake recall was electrical, this applies to the whole car, but gm says it does not affect the whole car. I was told that the corvettes are having this same issue and i would need to pay $100 diagnostic fee to be able to move forward. I think electrical issues affect the whole car, but with all the recalls gm is trying to avoid what it can. I'm not a mechanic though. Hopefully if enough people are having this issue gm will be forced to recall.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. Before the vehicle was able to be insured and inspected, the contact experienced the gear shift failing to go into the park position, which prevented the key from being removed. In addition, the vehicle jerked and shook and the transmission disengaged and engaged when changing gears. Furthermore, when the contact exited the vehicle, the radio remained on and while the vehicle was in motion, there was a loss of power steering ability. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. An independent repair facility diagnosed that the alternator may need to be replaced. The vehicle was unable to be safely driven due to the failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and recommended taking it to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was not available.
My brake lights are intermittently staying on while driving even though i am not using the brake pedal. The scary part is that they shut off when you hit the pedal and then come back on about 5 seconds later. I saw on the web that there is a known problem with corrosion on the bcm connections. There was a recall for previous years and gm has issued a technical service bulletin on how to fix it because there have been so many problems and complaints. I am going to try a quick fix i found on the pontiac g6 forum before i have to take it to a dealer and spend my own moneyon an obvious defect.
I purchased my used pontiac g6 in october 2013. Before i brought my car off the lot the dealership had to replace the left low beam headlight. No big deal i thought. We'll we have changed this same headlight 3 times. Today 8/11/2014 it needs replacing again . My husband went to check to see if maybe it was unplugged as we knew the bulb should have been fine. Well when he took the back plastic cover off to check my headlight wiring was smoking. How long this has been going on i do not know. We have unplugged this headlight because i have to drive this vehicle about 60 mile everyday for work. We'll needless to say i am terrified to drive it. What happens if it catches fire while me and my grandchildren are on the road???? so far i have only received 1 recall notice.# 13036. That alone is enough forms to stop driving it. I have read several of the same complaints all over the internet. Do we have to die before this is fixed????
I just purchased this vehicle on 03/11/2020 and it is showing a error code and the and the speedometer stopped moving, and now it won't change gear's
As i was coming around a turn at my house, i lost all electrical it was like my car shut off. I was close to hitting a stop sign and a house on my street. I did go up the curb. I lost power steering so my steering wheel was harder to turn. Once i got the car stopped my vehicle came back on automatically.at 116,000 miles i drove to ripley and parked my car at work. When i went out to lunch my car would start, but wouldn't move forward. It would only go in reverse and roll backwards. I ended up replacing the transmission and some wires. I don't know if this could be a defect, but it only had 116,000 miles and they are supposed to last at least until 200,000.
Low beam lamp passenger side out. Not knowing any better i. Bought a new sylvania bulb.two weeks later out again. I did a little research and found this is a huge problem with g6; gm & more than likely too expensive for me to fix immediately.i just bought car from dealer & on ssdi; therefore, have no money to even purchase another bulb let alone housing, connector stuff etc..this is a safety issue with a tremendous amour of vehicles; see carfaxs on this model. Although my carfax was clean i now think this is why car sold by old owner.
On the night of decemeber 31, 2018, the family and i were getting ready to go out when we noticed the car wouldn't start and all the outside lights were staying on and dim. Prior to this night, my spouse noticed that the interior lights were staying on as well so he removed the fuse as a temporary fix so that i may go to work. I believe this may be due to the recalls that i recently found out about. Im uncertain of the exact cause of this issue but from what i've read about the recallsb i believe it may have something to do with either the ignition or the brake pedal shorting out the electrical system.
I have replaced 6 bulbs both driver and passenger side low beam lights i thought they were blown but come to find out they short because they are melting. I have replaced the wiring and the headlight sockets just for them to melt again. I have called chevorlet and gm motors to see why this isn't a safety issue??? tonight i drove down a very dangerous road (we've had a wreck on this road every night this week) in very dangerous fog and my headlights went out thank god one of my brights worked and i had a quick reaction going 55mph not everyone will and that is a shame because chevorlet & gm motors know that they have an issue as they told me in our phone conversations. The wires to my headlights are melting i try not to drive at night because i'm terrified they will catch on fire as i'm driving down the road. Now i am horrified that all lights will go out. This is a huge safety issue!! we're recalling takata airbags (airbags protect you in a crash) but notheadlights going out while driving 55 mph down the road at night? that is putting everyone's safety at risk. Why are we not trying to prevent fatalities???!!!!
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While depressing the brake pedal, the brake lights failed to illuminate. However, when the brake pedal was not depressed, the brake lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and they informed the contact that there was a computer shortage for the brake lights and informed the contact about nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The dealer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not included in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.
I've been replacing parts to try to solve the problem of why the brake lights stay on, the cruise control kicks off, the traction control stays on. All these problems are all at the same time.i get it fixed and then 3 weeks later its the same all over again but it keeps getting worse. Alot of people i know with this car keep spending money and it never gets fixed the right way. We all need a solution.
I was driving down the road when the driver's side headlight went out.i have replaced the same headlight at least three times.today, 26 sept 2014, i attempted to replace the headlight bulb again, but found that the connector has melted.i'm concerned that my other headlight may go out while driving, so i will see what the dealership says after the vehicle inspection.i have heard that it can cost between 400 to 500 dollars. Please have this investigated before someone gets hurt or killed.
I have 2009 pontiac and i have replaced the headlight like five times still doesn't work were i live i see alot of the same car with the same problem. I already had the latch for shifter replaced cause it went out while i was driving seeing all the things that can go wrong as the post of everybody with headlight brakes the engine i think the whole car should be recall before alot of people get hurt its a death trap all kind of things wrong with this car and in this day and time people don't have the money to keep fixing a car that has so many problems not by wear and tear but by not properly putting it together my car was 16,000 dollars and to pay that much and have so many problems is ridiculous.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the door locks made a clicking noise while driving and the doors were difficult to open. Also, the horn sounded without warning. The warning indicators on the instrument panel were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 118,226.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6.the contact stated that the battery continuously drained without warning, causing the contact to have to jump start the vehicle every other day.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer but the dealer was unable to duplicate or locate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.
2009 pontiac g6 passenger side headlight would intermittently go off and finally stayed off. After removing the headlight assembly, i found a melted connect to the light bulb itself. I found a replacement connector at napa auto parts and replaced it. It worked for 3 weeks and went out again. Upon opening up the light, i found the new connector melted again. There is a wiring problem causing this connector to overheat.safety concern is if both fail over time, the driver will not have any headlights for nighttime driving. Also, the headlights are part of the daytime driving lights.
See nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 ; gm recall notice 13036 dated july 2014. I've been in two near rear end collisions due to brake light failure; i was pulled over by the police & told that my brake lights were staying lit while driving and then i was pulled over again & told that my brake lights were not lit up when i braking. I was able to show both officers the recall notice i received from gm & i was advised to get the problem fixed immediately as i was putting myself and others at risk of possible accident and injuries. While driving on the highway, the cruise control was enabled and would not disengage when i brake nor disengage when i pressed the on/off button.i had to cycle the key off/on in order to disengage the cruise control.other times, the cruise will not engage when on/off button is pressed.i am also having issues shifting from park to drive or reverse, also e.s.c. Isn't working as it should, nor the panic brake assist features.lights for e.s.c. Tcs randomly flash and flicker.all these are indications are consistent with the gm recall notice 13036.as stated before, i have almost been in two collisions and been pulled over twice.contacted gm five times - case #[xxx] on file. Gm stated that my car must be serviced by local dealership but will not cover costs.the local dealer wants diagnostic fees up front, which i cannot afford. Gm hasn't notified dealerships of the recall 13036 to date.do i need to be involved in an accident, harming myself and others, before this is addressed by gm? does there have to be loss of life to get gm to fix the known issues outlined in recall 13036?how can i rely on safe transportation until this is fixed?in closing, i seek assistance in addressing the blatant disregard of public safety that gm has shown to me and other customers.i would like to get my car fixed at no cost to me. Help!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Cruise intermittently stops working at speed on the freeway.brake lights randomly stay on when brakes are not applied.
Left front headlight keeps going out. Once in a while it will come on briefly then go back out. Had the headlight tested, it's not the light, its the electrical. Further investigating this matter online, i found this is a very common issue with these vehicles, yet, no recall has been made available yet. Very disappointed in gm, and will take serious thought into ever purchasing another gm vehicle. This has been an on going issue for months for myself. Needless to say, this is not a cheap fix.
As i was driving towards my home after dark, my drivers side headlight (low-beam) went out. Because i was on a rural road, i turned on my high-beams.in less than a minute an i went back to my low-beams due to an oncoming car and i had no low-beam lights at all. I immediately turned my high-beams back on so i could be seen by the other car. After returning home i informed my husband of the problem.the next morning he checked the headlight lamps and found that the electrical plug/sockets to both low-beam lights were shorted-out, burned, and melted.while at a local auto-parts store trying to get replacement pig-tails to repair the lights i talked to one of the sales persons who also works at a local gm dealership. He told me that they see 6 to 10 cars a week that have had this same problem. This is a very dangerous situation and it appears to be very common.
The door locks keep locking and unlocking on their own and now the back passanger door lock stopped working. My brake lights stay on when i'm driving and the bad light keeps coming on but my garage can't figure out why, they said there's no reason for it.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the headlight assembly malfunctioned. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the headlight assembly twice, but the failure recurred. The contact continued to experience the head lamps burning out and the low beams failed to illuminate again. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who indicated that the part was defective and that the failure may recur again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 7/1/15the consumer stated the low beam headlight burned out 4 times. The socket was burned and replaced.updated 9/15/2015
I see that there is a recall for this very issue for years thru 2008. My brake lights are on when not braking and off when braking and of course the cruise control will not work during this issue. I see many complaints about this and i find it so hard to understand how this cannot be a safety issue and recalled to fix. I have almost been rearended many times and am wondering if someone has to be involved in a fatal accident before the nhsta forced the expansion of the recall to include all years that are having this issue.
On 12/31/2011 i was pulled over for a burnt out headlight. Upon replacing the bulb i noticed that the socket where the bulb plugs in was melted. I put a new bulb in and it worked for 3 months. When that went out in march of 2012 i replaced it again. Now in august of 2012 that bulb burnt out. There is a connection to the melted harness as the bulb that burnt out was melted slightly where it made a connection to the socket. This is obviously an issue that goes well beyond my vehicle as a search on the internet shows other owners with the same issues. When the light bulb burns out at night it puts everyone at a safety risk which is not acceptable. Gm needs to do something about this.
My passenger side headlight went out so i replaced it only to have it go out again. I realized there were some burnt wires and had it inspected. I was told i needed a new wire harness.
Connectors on headlights burnt out, seems to be a common problem on forums and message boards. Low beam lights are intermittently working, passenger light stays out, connector burnt.
I own a 2009 pontiac g6 gt.my anti theft system kicked on while driving. I parked my vehicle 5 minutes later for 20 minutes and when i tried to start itwouldn't crank. This was the first occurence. I have 2 small children in the car with me, but luckily i was pulling into my own driveway. I had just driven from columbus,oh. A few days later after trying to reset my sytem (because i thought it was the anti-theft device) i had it towed to a dealer. As it turns out my negative battery cable had broken. According to the mechanic there was a defect in the cord. The mechanic had to do some re wiring. I just thank the lord that my car didn't cut off while driving.
The driver side headlight burned out.i checked the bulb, and the connectors were burned and melted on the light as well as the harness.i changed the harness myself, and the same thing happened approximately one year later.there is a severe malfunction in the electrical component of the headlight system.i am afraid if this continues to occur, it could start a fire in the vehicle.possibly while it is being driven.
Was driving and notice my brake lights were staying on even though i wasn't hitting the brakes at the time,then when i would apply the brake the lights went off when i let up on the brake lights would come back on if this problem keeps going on with this car it is going to cause someone to have a wreak and get hurt.i think the company needs to have a recall on this part before someone sues the company for wrongful death. I have read many complaints on this issue and its time for the company to make a recall on it.
2009 pontiac g6i got on the highway and tried to switch on the cruise control and it wouldn't work so i pulled over to the side of the road to see what's wrong. When i got out of my car i noticed that the brake lights were on so i went back and pressed the brakes then they turned off. I started driving again but soon as i turned on the cruise control it comes on but turns right back off. But if i hit the brakes the cruise control will work again for a second then turns right back off that's when i realized that the brake lights come on when i drive but when i hit the breaks they turn off. Im only writing this because my car doesn't have 100,000 miles yet and i saw that your company started an investigation regarding this issue. I would like to know how this can be fixed because it's not just on the highway it's happening now all the time. This can be a safety issue so i'd rather get this fixed now. Please help.thanks!
2009 pontiac g6 gt sedan.intermittent problems with the following for the last year:brake lights come on when accelerating and turn off when braking (doing opposite of what they should be doing).cruise control and traction control system both keep going out.sometimes it's just the cruise control, other times the traction control system turns off first which in turn disables the cruise control.whenever the cruise control starts going out, the brake lights start malfunctioning soon after.i suspect this is an issue with the bcm (body control module).front drivers side headlight keeps going out, but the bulb isn't burned out.replaced bulb twice.if i smack the plastic headlight cover, the light comes back on.the wires don't look damaged, so i'm not sure what is causing the problem with the headlight.
The car was purchased in around 2012 and since has had power steering issues. The power steering went out at least once every couple months and when this happens the car would be shut off then turned back on and the problem was fixed. In the last two days the power steering shuts off every few miles while in motion on both city streets and on the highway. Would turn car off then back on and few miles later the power steering goes out. There are other recalls for the same issue, same year, make, and model. This is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of and the manufacturers should be paying for this issue.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving 45 mph, the service traction and service abs. Traction control, esc andstability control warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000. Updated 07/12/16*ljupdated 08/03/16.
The headlight went out, could not replace it, took it to the dealer and was told it was an electrical issue and the repair would not be covered by the warranty. The dealer fixed it about a $180.00. The headlight went out again in march 2013, at first it kept clicking and could be put on again by hitting the light cover but then finally went out.that light was never fixed again until may 2014 when the state inspection was due, the fix lasted less than 24 hours and now the car is back to having only one headlight.
I own a 2009 pontiac g6.in august of 2011, my left front headlight began to work only intermittently until it no longer would illuminate.i replaced the bulb in the headlight, and it was back to working as it should.a matter of six or so months went by and the right light began to have the same problem until it went out.i replaced it as well, however, within the next few months the right headlight went out again.i have not had the problem officially diagnosed, although internet research seems to show a problem with the connector.
My 2009 pontiac g6 rear brake lights are working opposite of how intended.when the brakes are not applied the brake lights remain activated, when i depress the brake pedal the brake lights turn off.the cruise control is also inoperative, most likely linked to the brake light issue.i called the dealership where i purchased the vehicle new and was told that nothing would be done about the issue because the warranty was over.i asked for information on how to repair the issue myself and was told none was available.someone is going to get killed over this issue if fatalities have not already occurred.
"takata recall " i have been haing issues with the drivers side low beam going out, had it changed several times and service place said it will continue to go out as the wires are melted and burnt and would need to be a rewired. I also having issues while driving the dash lights all go out and then come back on, feels like it loses the power steering and then goes back to normal but happens several times through out the day while driving. Dash lights, radio everything goes off, the exterior lights stay on but not inside.
While operating vehicle, brake lights work the opposite of what they should.they are on when the pedal is not depressed and go off when the pedal is depressed. I spent ~$300 having the brake pedal position sensor diagnosed and it turns out that the bcm (body control module) has corrosion and required dielectric paste to correct the issue.approximately 14 months later the problem returned and i had a mechanic check for recall and he found a tech bulletin describing exactly this maintenance procedure.they performed it and the problem was corrected but this needs to be 100% corrected as someone is going to get killed.searching forums online i see that this problem is far more common that one would think and this should be addressed immediately.

Letter from congressman barletta on behalf of constituent re 2009 pontiac g6 lost power brakes and steering while driving on four separate occasions.
In may 2012 the driver side headlight went out so we replaced it with a brand new light. Within 2 weeks (june 8th), i was driving in indiana when i noticed my headlight was out again. We again replaced the headlight and since then it works intermittently. When i start the car in the morning and the headlight is out, then most of the time, it will turn on as i am driving down the road. If the headlight is on when i start the car, them most of the time as i drive down the road it was flash and then shut off. I have been stopped by police officers for the headlight being burned out and i refuse to buy another headlight.
Head light harness burns out and have replaced 2 times and can not get it to stop burning out so i have no head lights with this car please help im not the only one with this issue on this car.
Was on thruway going 65mph car shut off for the third incident in approximate of a year from other 2 incidents. This time was or could of been killed due to this problem due to rate of speed and where i was driving onto an on ramp where i broke down.car dealer replaced engine control module#12612397. I no longer feel safe driving this car because i know this will happen again. I think this vehicle should be added to the recalls going on with gm because the same thing is happening to my car.
When driving vehicle brake lights remain illuminated constantly, when the brakes are not applied. Also cruise control is inoperative.
Got pulled over for brake lights not acting when engaged, and viceversa. Officer noticed i was driving fine, but my lights were not.issues with steering, jerky motions at low speedcan't disengage parking or parking brake without braking engagedshift stick when changing to driveconstant steering and tire sensor service sensor
2009 pontiac g6, 2.4l, 6 speed auto.cruising at highway speeds with cruise control active. Sudden failure of cruise control. Erratic brake light functioning. Transmission down shifting erratically at highway speeds. Cruise control doesn't deactivate with brake application.occurs daily after about 30+ minutes of drivingno corrective action performed yet.
The car has had significant electrical problems since its purchase. To summarize: i had an ignition fuse repaired in 2009 when the car turned off suddenly while i was driving.replaced a faulty headlight socket that was melted to the inside housing, have replaced an excessive number of light bulbs in the car, and have also had the power door locks fail. Most recently, remote ignition was not working, but was later fixed after a major repair last month to the power steering. I was driving the car when my power steering failed.had it towed to a local gm dealership, who said my power steering control module had to be replaced at a cost of $750 dollars.was aware of a recall for 2009 g-6's for power steering, but dealership seemed to have no information regarding recall.was told that my vin was not included in any recalls.contacted gm, who told us to wait for a new round of recall letters to be distributed.in the meantime, it takes 6 days for the repairs, and only after significant questioning did the dealer admit that parts were hard to find due to the recall. We asked the dealership to let us have the faulty part to pursue action from gm.dealer told us they had thrown parts away, despite this being against gm protocol.they located our part after we pushed them to investigate (car had been repaired that very morning, parts had not been thrown away), and assessed a $100 core charge.have been bounced back and forth between gm and dealer since, with no responsibility taken by either party.most recently, gm said they will not pay for reimbursement, and dealer said the parts they repaired were not recalled so they are not responsible either.as these parts are unlikely to break without cause, and don't need frequent servicing, it's clear that they are faulty. This is a major safety issue.gm needs to reexamine their recall.
Head lights keep going out...the wires connected with the low beam lights are burnt and corroded. I have replace these parts 20 times since 2009. This time on january 1, 2015 the wires and connectors are to burnt to repair and the dealer ship said i will have to buy the whole harness kit assembly instead of just the wires. Why should i, this problems is far and wide on the internet with the pontiac g6. I travel with my job and i have experienced multiple times both headlights going out on me and i had to use the high beam just to get home. Please let gm know and issue some kind of recall before i die on the highway due to these faulty headlight wires.
I was driving home from school and at the intersection that i take everyday on a busy road (boulevard). When i tried to turn right at the intersection the steering wheel locked and the car went straight in the opposite lane where a semi truck was coming my way. If the semi didn't brake for me i wouldn't be alive today. It was icy and i somehow got myself back in my lane after using all my strength to turn the wheel. This was my closet to death experience to this day and i have not been in the car ever since then. The car has been parked since winter and has not only threatened my safety but has cost my pocket book a lot of money.i find it suspicious that the previous year models were recalled for electronic assist power steering failure yet my 2009 was not and is equipped with the same power steering option.i'm hoping you guys want to make it right as it would be simpler and less drama than a wrongful death law suit.
I have a 2009 pontiac g6 gt. Since the time that we have bought our car we have had nothing but problems with the passenger side headlight. We have replaced the pigtails and all the wiring. We replaced the bulb every few weeks for it to only burn out a few days later. No one can tell us whythis problem can not be fixed. There have been hundreds maybe thousand of complaints on online forums about headlight problems and even fire and melting of the housing. I am constantly pulled over due to the headlight being out. This is an extremely dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. Withoutproperly working headlights people are going to get seriously injured or kill someone because we can't see properly.
Ok firstmy stereo was working fine then all of a sudden only the tweeters are working now and then jus last night the power steering messed up the light on my dash came on an can't barely steer it i'm not as worried about the stereo as i am the power steering so i was wondering is there a recall for that because that's dangerous and should of never happen could cause an accident
I have a 2009 pontiac g6. When i first bought it i thought it was a gem after a few months my head lights would burn out a few times a month. After replacing them i noticed the actual wiring was melted. My passenger rear door won't lock or unlock. While driving through a storm my wipers stopped working. My wiper fluid won't come out only makes the sound. My power steering will turn off randomly. Stock radio stopped working. Now my break lights are acting up and won't light. My shifter also has been acting strange. Sometimes it won't shift. Blinkers blew outsame time as brake lights.this car is nothing but a hazard.
The contact owns a 2009 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 needed 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.
My steering wheel keeps locking up while i am driving. Its been doing this but if i turn the car off and back on it will start back working. Now its locking up about every 5-10 min. My air bags light keeps coming on. My windows do not work and all of my car lights keep burning out
I have had issues in the past regarding electrical malfunctions with this car. My right headlight continues to go out even with me having it replaced time after time. I have taken my car in for diagnostics tests for maintenance of the car and they have come back saying the car is fine. Although when i go to drive it, somehow a light comes on. Examples include('esc system off' lights, 'service traction' lights, 'tc' off. The main issue that i am reporting just occurred two days ago. I was driving out of the walmart parking lot onto the main road and the light on my car appeared 'power steering off service esc' my steering wheel then stiffened up as i was turning onto the main road. There was a car turning right infront of me that i almost hit, because i lost control of my steering wheel. I then took my car into an auto repair shop where they informed me that this was something they could not fix because they don't have the parts and i would have to take it into a pontiac or a chevy dealership. This problem with the power steering being electrical is not safe and a recall needs to be done on this model as well. I use my car to commute to school and work everyday and this problem poses as not only a safety risk but a inconvenience to my everyday life. I would like something to be done about this issue. I have been researching this problem with pontiacs and i have noticed it's a reoccurring issue, these cars should not be sold to customers with all of these electricalproblems that continue to happen. I have to now pay out of pocket to not only have this car fixed but also for a rental car in the mean time. This is not fair for me as a customer of pontiac and i would like action to be taken. Thank you.
The driver side headlight has been fixed several times over the past two years. The light continues to burn out within weeks. The connectors are burning out also. I am scared to drive at night because i am not sure if the light will go out. I am the 1st and only owner of this vehicle.the interior lighting is also malfunctioning. The lights get low by themselves while driving. The radio monitor goes blank. This is all electrical. Please help! thank youupdated 12/1/2014
2009 pontiac g6. Consumersent in repair invoice. *tarecall # 14v252000.
When traveling above about 10 mph the brake lights came on and the cruise control no longer worked.when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights went out until the car slowed to about 10 mph at which point the brake lights came back on.braking was normal at all times.when pulling away from the stop, the brake lights came back on again around 10 mph.the car consistently did this over a trip of about 60 miles.when i took the car into the dealer, the issue wasn't present.the dealer replaced the brake switch and lubricated a connection.the issue has returned 2 days later.this issue could become dangerous especially during braking above 10 mph when following vehicles would not be aware that the car was braking.
In 2010 i purchaced a 2009 pontiac g6. I had it for a couple weeks and my head lights burned out. I then got a new one and it burned out again then the other side did the same thing over and over again. When replacing it i see the socket was burned and melted. To this day i have to replace the bulbs every couple weeks and they go out on my way to work and i work midnigh, so its very dangerous. I also have been online and seen hundreds of peoplewho are having this problem and they chatch on fire. The car is a 2009 pontiac g6 sadan here is the link to see all the otherpeople having problems. I have also seen many new g6 cars on the road with one head light out and there brand new.i would hate to see them catch on fire or someone get in to a accident because they can't see at night. I also have received a ticket for it which i had to pay because pontiac didnt build it right. I click up above because the socket was melted which tells me there was a fire.there are over 100 websites with people having the same problem.

Takara recallmy air bag light will come on saying it needs serviced but it then it goes off and i start driving again. Or it will come on and start to go off again when i stop
The low beam head lights are melting there connector makingthe lights to go out random and some times blowing the light bulbs. This happens at any time day and night in motion or not. It is extremely dangerous when the lights go out and im driving as i can't see anything and other drivers can't see me. The high beams do work but that is dangerous to drive with any traffic as it can causethem to not be a be to see.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving, the traction indicator illuminated and the brake lights did not illuminate. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v25200 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 110,000.
Problems with my electric assist power steering it keeps going in and out i've almost wrecked several times because of it gm offer to recall but says my vin number doesn't cover the recall for the electric assist power steering for my car. My car was clearly effected by the problems with this part. It's a saftey issue and almost killed my self my son and my unborn child. I was driving down the highway when the pastor and decide to go out the first time and caused me to go overinto the oncoming traffic second time i was driving in the city and it did the same thing. Being pregnant with high risk pregnancy made steering my car almost impossible when the power steering goes out. The electric assist motor or power steering whatever you wanna call it is the worst thing gm ever did. It's probably caused a lot of people to get seriously hurt or killed even. And they won't cover my vehicle under there recall for this same problem
When you are driving either one headlight will go out and then come back on. Then the opposite headlight will go out and then comeback on. Then sometimes both headlights will go out at the same time. I've had people flash their lights at me thinking i am high beaming them when one of my headlights turn back on.i also had a spun bearing in the bottom end of the engine which caused the vehicle to stall while turning at an intersection and almost got rear ended. I also had my vehicle stall for no reason at all. Had my mechanic look at it he came to the conclusion that maybe it was the battery and replaced it. I have also had issues with the door ajar light to where it causes the interior light to come on and stay on. I've had the door sensors replaced numerous times and have not had any issue with the door ajar for a little while now. I've also had an issue with bearings locking up in the air conditioning unit that caused a severe burning smell and caused the car to not want to start.therefore i believe there is a major electrical problem with the car causing all of these issues.
Drivers side headlight went out while driving in very bad weather conditions at night.replaced bulb and it worked for 2 days before the same thing happened.replaced bulb again and it worked for about 10 days before it happened again.now learning that this happens a lot on this car because the harness connector is melting and needs to be replaced but due to constant overheating it will not permanently fix this problem.gm knows of this problem but deems it not their responsibility.does there have to be a fatality before pontiac/gm takes this seriously?
Left / driver side headlight connections burning and causing the headlight to not work. Wiring has been replaced 2 times.
My vehicle was recalled last year due to a problem with the body control module.i brought my vehicle to a local gm dealer to be "fixed" and now my car is having the exact same problems as before: loss of cruise control, malfunctioning brake lights, loss of traction control, difficulty shifting gear out of park position.these problems began occurring in 2013.gm should have told customers that the "fix" was temporary, as i was almost rear-ended multiple times yesterday due to my brake lights malfunctioning.this is dangerous and someone could get injured or killed due to the issues with the brake lights.after receiving my recall notice and taking my car to be serviced, i thought i would never have to worry about this again.it turns out the mechanics at the gm dealer just cleaned the bcm and applied dielectric grease to it, which is what i had been doing before the recall even came up...it is insulting that they would consider this a "fix" and endanger their drivers, when they had to know that this would only help temporarily.it seems the entire bcm needs replaced to actually fix it, which is expensive.gm should cover the cost of this, as i know i am not the only driver having repeat issues after having the car "fixed" during the recall.my car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year), and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now).when i smack the headlights, they come back on.i see that other drivers are also having issues with their power steering and headlights, as well as with the bcm.i am disappointed that gm has not provided a permanent solution for these issues, and i do not always feel safe when driving this car.

I purchased this car in summer 2013. It was fine for a couple months then the cruise control started going out and the esc and traction control would code at the same time. I searched on the internet and found the gm service bulletin that said to remove the connectors from the computer and apply dialectic grease due to corrosion. This would work 30 to 60 days then i would have to apply more grease. Before christmas i was driving home at night and noticed that my brake lights were stuck on. I found that this would often happen at the same time that the other problems would code and other times the brake lights would just come on. I have applied grease several times this winter and it doesn't work anymore. The esc and traction control code at random times, and the cruise control becomes inoperable. The air bag light is now on and stays on. These are all annoying but the issue that scares me is the brake lights coming on at random times when i don't touch the brake pedal. That is obviously unsafe and i would hope that gm would step up and fix it. They wouldn't have issued the service bulletin if they didn't know there was a problem, and the dealership i purchased it from had smeared the connectors heavy with grease so they must have read the service bulletin too.
Dear nhtsa;i own a 2009 pontiac g6 that within the last week incurred a power steering failure. Recall research shows that on march 2014 the nhtsa required gm to issue a recall for this exact problem, however, it only covered the g6 models up to the year 2009, which my car was not included. The service advisor at the dealership acknowledged that the "problem" was very similar to the steering problem for earlier models that are subject to the recall. However, since the 2009 model year was not included in the nhtsa recall, the cost to repair the problem falls to the consumer and is estimated to be in the $1,800 to $2,000 range. This is clearly a safety issue and mirrors the same characteristic's as earlier models included in the recall. I have contacted gm regarding this matter and have been assured that a local customer service representative will be contacting me within 48 hours. While i appreciate gm's willingness to "consider" the matter, i urge the nhtsa to re-visit the model years subject to the recall. The consumer should not be burdened with the cost of repairing what is obviously a design defect. Further and more importantly is safety for the passengers and other drivers on the road.
"takata recall " i have been haing issues with the drivers side low beam going out, had it changed several times and service place said it will continue to go out as the wires are melted and burnt and would need to be a rewired. I also having issues while driving the dash lights all go out and then come back on, feels like it loses the power steering and then goes back to normal but happens several times through out the day while driving. Dash lights, radio everything goes off, the exterior lights stay on but not inside.
As i was coming around a turn at my house, i lost all electrical it was like my car shut off. I was close to hitting a stop sign and a house on my street. I did go up the curb. I lost power steering so my steering wheel was harder to turn. Once i got the car stopped my vehicle came back on automatically.at 116,000 miles i drove to ripley and parked my car at work. When i went out to lunch my car would start, but wouldn't move forward. It would only go in reverse and roll backwards. I ended up replacing the transmission and some wires. I don't know if this could be a defect, but it only had 116,000 miles and they are supposed to last at least until 200,000.
I have replaced 6 bulbs both driver and passenger side low beam lights i thought they were blown but come to find out they short because they are melting. I have replaced the wiring and the headlight sockets just for them to melt again. I have called chevorlet and gm motors to see why this isn't a safety issue??? tonight i drove down a very dangerous road (we've had a wreck on this road every night this week) in very dangerous fog and my headlights went out thank god one of my brights worked and i had a quick reaction going 55mph not everyone will and that is a shame because chevorlet & gm motors know that they have an issue as they told me in our phone conversations. The wires to my headlights are melting i try not to drive at night because i'm terrified they will catch on fire as i'm driving down the road. Now i am horrified that all lights will go out. This is a huge safety issue!! we're recalling takata airbags (airbags protect you in a crash) but notheadlights going out while driving 55 mph down the road at night? that is putting everyone's safety at risk. Why are we not trying to prevent fatalities???!!!!
2009 pontiac g6. Consumersent in repair invoice. *tarecall # 14v252000.
I have had a recurring problem for the past 3 years, where the power steering, traction control and electronic stability control all atop working at the same time. I have sought assistance from gm.the dealership tells me the car isn't storing a code. I have provided them with pictures, but they choose not to help. The problem is a known problem on other years of the pontiac g6. Gm website says they fix the problem on a case by case basis. Picture and video proof mean nothing if the car isn't storing a code. Codes flash across display that say "check power steering " "service traction" "service esc".only way for me to clear is to shut off car and turn back on. All peer steering is lost when problem occurs. Although i've listed. Only one date, which was the most recent, the problem occurred in 1/2014, twice in 7/2014, 12/2016 and in 3/2017.
Wife was driving vehicle onto rt 46 here in austintown, ohio when the power steering light came on and she lost steering. She had not reached the speed limit of 40mph when this occurred. She managed to get the vehicle of the road and into a gas station lot going up over a curb parked it and then called me to come and get her. I drove the vehicle home about a quarter of a mile without the power steering. I then called pontiac's customers services and to no prevail got any satisfaction. I then made an appointment with spitzer autoworld here in lordstown, ohio for friday aug 1st.,had the vehicle looked over, they told me that the problem was with the steering column and that it has to be replaced. I see that gm has recalls for steering problems on the same year ,make and model but my vin# doesnot fall in this recall. So as of monday aug 1st i will be back on the phone with pontiac.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6.

I own a 2009 pontiac g6. Well, the door says it's a 2009, but when i enter the vin it comes back as a 2010. I have researched and found that my car was not included in the gm recall for the torque sensor assembly, which i find absurd. The power steering in my car keeps going out while i'm driving. I have almost crashed a number of times. This is a seriously dangerous defect. All the research i have done says gm is aware that this problem is affecting 2010's as well, yet they're not included in the recall. That is not fair. Why should i have to pay to fix a problem that is a recall on my gm vehicle, my vehicle just isn't included because my car was manufactured at the end of 2009, so it's considered a 2010. That is not fair. This problem is affecting hundreds of thousands of gm vehicles. They need to expand the recall to include 2010. This isn't some silly little thing that shouldn't be worried about. This is my steering. I could crash and die because they won't expand the recall. I really hope this is seen and something is done about this. I'm not the only one who is frustrated beyond words. It shouldn't be my responsibility. Gm messed up and should fix their problems in their vehicles. They should stand by their vehicles.
The cruise control will work and then in the middle of driving it quits. This seems to be related to the brake lights not working properly. Also, seems related to these two messages some time coming on:"service traction" and "service esc."
On 4/7/15, while driving heard chimes. All icons on instrument panel turned on. The fuel gauge needle moved to empty.the low fuel gauge turned on.all this indicating malfunction.the odometer turned off and the code error came on and turned off; then the odometer came back on. All the icons on the instrument panel turned off except for the security light icon which stayed on.it felt as if someone was attempting to disable my vehicle.later that day turned the vehicle on and everything seemed normal, like it reset itself.on 4/8/15, after driving approximately 70 miles on the highway, the security light icon turned on and stayed on.i took the vehicle directly to the dealer and they informed me they would have to diagnose the vehicle.the result was inconclusive, they did not find anything wrong.so not only was i put in an unsafe condition, this end up costing me $140.00 just to tell me they could not find anything - not only am i in the hole for $140 but i am back to square one.i feel gm should foot this bill as a customer courtesy due to the predicament this vehicle put me in.this should never have happened to a vehicle that is 6 years old and 80,000 miles.
2009 pontiac g6. Requesting reimbursement for repairs due to recall. *taaccording to the repair invoice, the bcm shorted out. Recall #14v252000.
I was driving behind a vehicle who stopped suddenly and when i braked, a power steering message came across the radio and i was unable to turn my vehicle left or right. The car makes a clicking sound when the power steering locks up. It can lock up in the middle of driving or when starting my car.
A friend following me 09-21-2016 noticed my brake lights were on constantly. Driving home that night i could tell the brake light stayed on, unless i was applying the brake and they would go off.also cruise control would not work.made an appointmentwith the local gm dealership where the car was purchased new for 09-27-2016.dealership diagnosed car with a bad brake switch. Car was repaired and picked up on 09-30-2016 (brake switch replaced) cost 194.81.drove the car on a 300 mile trip on 10-13-2016. Traction warning light would come on intermittently and when the light was on cruise control would not work.also checked on brake lights and now they stay constantly. Traction warning light stays on constantly also now..the car did go on for the recall notice back in 2014. We were not experiencing any problems prior to the last couple of months.
I was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me while i was on a highway something popped up on my radio saying power steering service esc i couldn't turn almost had accident
Lights on the car starting coming on the air bag lights stay on now and will not go off .the heater in the seats also stopped working .and now when i turn the steering wheels there is a grinding sound .i thought it was the cv axles replaced ,and it did no good .it continues to make the grinding sounds when i turn ,and its hard to turn the steering wheel at times it locks up .the electric systems seems to act strange with lights blinking on the dash board sometimes .many times i have trouble starting the car and have had the starter checked out and they cannot find a problem ,when it does this all the lights start flashing .once i was driving in the mountains at a speed around 45 miles an hour and my car completely cut off on top of the mountains.
Headlights going out. Poor connection, burning/melted headlight socket, headlight choose when they want to work. Actions taken, i didn't wait for a recall. Burnt socket lead me to believe the harness wasn't able to withstand the amperage. I replaced the wires running to headlights with a larger gauge. Replaced the headlight connector. All has been well since, going on 3 years now.another wiring issue is the injector/can sensor harness. If this becomes loose in any way the car runs very rough, poor fuel, low idle, or stalling. At the time my vehicle stalled and was running rough i had no faults or cel. I thought my timing chain was about to snap. All this due to a electrical connection that wiggled just a tad loose.

I had power steering lose about a yearago and then it just happened again yesterday. When i shut the car off it like resets and then it's fine i also had a friend of mine text me and told me that my brake lights were backwards when iwhen i was breaking the lights were off when i was driving and my brake lights were on. I have also always noticed that my car shifts weird sometimes when i'm passing it doesn't seem like i can get up to speed. I have also had trouble with my passenger front airbag sensor since i've had the car. I bought my car and 2010 it was only a year old with very few miles. Right now i only have about 81,000 miles on it. With all of my incidents with the power steering and brake lights i have been in town driving all were in motion. In town driving has probably been about 35 mile an hour i would never want to experience or have any of these on the highway.

Another gm car fire: 2009 pontiac g-6. Received bcm electrical harness recall bulletin 13036 (august 2014) in the mail, 2.5 years after the fact, in spring 2017.alleged fix was applied on 5/17/17, 4.5 months later, car is totalled due to an electrical fire in engine compartment.sporadic electrical issues ensued after the recall work, headlight sporadically cutting out, trunk opening untouched, etc.stopped at a traffic light, car died, smoke then flames coming from the engine compartment. Salem, virginia fire department incident number 20174058.
Taking off to a slow roll without giving it any gas and turning right or left, the steering wheel is extremely difficult to turn. There is absolutely no power steering. It lasts as long until you you give it gas and then the power steering will start working again. While at a steady maintained speed on flat level ground and while at a steady maintained speed going up hill rpm between 2,000-2,500 , the vehicle begins to shake/buck/shudder/stall. Give it some gas and it begins to run smoothly again after about 3 seconds.
In early may my 2009 pontiac g6 shut off unexpectedly while reversing in a parking spot. I tested the car in drive also and realized the ignition could be switched off while in gear. I have tried to get gm to repair the faulty ignition but since it has not yet been added to their growing list of recalls, they wont even look at it without leaving the car for a $150 inspection. This is absurd since the part should take 30 minutes to install and costs them next to nothing. I'm sure there are many other vehicles not under the recall that also have the issue. I am disgusted with gm for continuing to neglect responsibility for an obvious problem! i'm not sure what else to do at this point but to seek the help of an attorney.
Car started dragging - could not drive no more than 5 miles - transmission went out - would not go in reverse - no indication on computer of engine problem - read about similar recall on pontiac g6 for transmission problems - this incident happened around the same time recall put out on certain g6 - but not mine because of engine size - i do not understand why my vehicle did not fall under this recall - i spent a lot of money to replace it.....updated 10-27-15

Gerald hornea & a automotive1620 state st.florence, al 35630 confidentialthis man sold me a 2009 pontiac g6 gxp that he bought at an auction that had been wrecked on july 17, 2017 for $6,000.he told me he would 'fix everything that needed fixing on the car to make it drivable and acceptable before i bought it,' even saying he would 'provide an oil change.'on july 17, 2017, he delivered car to my home. Car 'looked' pretty good except for the two back 'chrome' (he'd told me 'chrome' but they are plastic) rims. They were scratched really bad. My grandson checked the oil and it was quite low, dirty, and dark.i contacted mr. Horne and told him i was not happy with the scratched rims and that he needed to perform the oil change he had promised.he said he would replace the rims and perform the oil change. He picked up the car that day or the next day, which would have been july 18, 2017.on july 20, 2017, he delivered the car to the florence, al ymca where my grandson was playing basketball and my grandson drove the car to our home, which is close to downtown florence.[the rims were still the same. He said he could not find any more used rims and would have to order new ones. I told him ok. He has yet to provide those new rims.]we did not check the oil at this time, as horne had given his word the oil was changed at this time, but i do not know if the oil was changed or not, as he said it was. Remember, upon initial delivery, oil was checked and was quite low, dark, and very dirty.grandson then drove car with me in it to a gas station downtown so i could fill up gas tank. He then drove car to our home.around 5:00 p.m., he drove car to the florence mall. He left mall at approximately 9:00 p.m. Driving home, engine blew, no fault of grandson, almost got him killed by oncoming traffic, he had to swerve into oncoming lane.

The clips that hold the transmission shift linkage have completely snapped. This is a known issue in 4 cyl models and should be extended to 6 cyl models. My car will not go in to park. It will not start. You can actually open the engine compartment and see that the linkage has play. This is incredibly dangerous. I'm thankful we live in a flat area. This is completely unacceptable and someone will end up hurt or dead because of it.
At low speed the vehicle made a loud "pop" sound, which was immediately followed by smoke filling the interior via the air vents. The car was immediately shut off and the hood opened. The engine compartment was on fire with flames between the engine and fire wall. Upon putting the fire out it was found that the power steering fluid had leaked out of the car onto the exhaust manifold, resulting in melting the engine wiring and other components. The entire side of the car was sprayed with power steering fluid and the top of the fender had black soot from the fire. The hood pad and fire wall insulation showed large amounts of fire damage.

I purchased a 09 pontiac g6 on july 28th 2010 it had 46,000 miles 2 weeks after i bought itcuts off for no reason in the middle of the street and would not crank up it was towed to the dealership and kept it for 9 days and still would not crank they got it to crank and then lock the keys up while having it running cause the door unlock and lock on their own but didn't know why it cut off and would not crank. So i got it back 2 week later it cuts off again while driving and gave no sign it was going to cut off and would not crank so i am stuck in the road again stranded for an hour i get it crank take it back to the dealer ship they don't know what's wrong it cuts off again while driving. Take it back they don't know what's wrong and it cuts of about 6 to 8 more time while driving i take it to the dealer ship and they say the same thing and mind u these are all gm dealership and i used 3 different ones and they all say the same thing so it cuts off again i call gm myself and file a complaint they were no help and it stills cuts off til this day and it has an electrical problem as well cause the lights dim in and out when you turn on the air or heat or let the windows down or lock and unlock the doors . The engine runs rough and wheels sound like they about to come of while driving this is a bad car it looks good but drives bad and it not safe when the people who made it cant tell you why it cuts off while driving this very dangerous.
Was driving car and engine just shut off going 45mph.after i pulled over car would not restart.

While driving, the gas gage and mph needles dropped to zero and the car could not drive forward.there was also an "error" notice flashing on the dashboard.it lasted for a fraction ofsecond but kept doing it about every 20-30 seconds.i realized the theft protection light stayed on after startng the vehicle but when i went out yesterday the theft protection light was not on after starting the car.it came on suddenly while driving and i was unable to get the gas gage to work.it is lasting longer now also.i also noticed the traction control words showed up on the dash board this last time.conditions were clear and dry.i did read the manual and checked the fuse as recommended.the fuse looks fine and for one whole day after removing and replacing the fuse i did not have the problem but the next time i drove, it was much worse as i mentioned above.
I drive a pontiac g6 .. My brake lights just come on when ever they want. I have had it fixed by a dealer before , but can't afford to keep taking it back in. It has happen to my car 4 times in the last year. We have been using the a fix found on the internet but that doesn't work for long. As i drive 40 min. To and from work each day i fear that this is happening and could cause an accident . I also have seen many other g6's with the same problem while i'm driving. Please recall allfor everyone's safety.
Head lights keep going out...the wires connected with the low beam lights are burnt and corroded. I have replace these parts 20 times since 2009. This time on january 1, 2015 the wires and connectors are to burnt to repair and the dealer ship said i will have to buy the whole harness kit assembly instead of just the wires. Why should i, this problems is far and wide on the internet with the pontiac g6. I travel with my job and i have experienced multiple times both headlights going out on me and i had to use the high beam just to get home. Please let gm know and issue some kind of recall before i die on the highway due to these faulty headlight wires.

Less than a month ago i replaced my passenger side headlight.this week it went out again.i have already had to replace the driver side light about three times.i bought this car brand new.i changed the fuse for the headlight and it did not solve the issue.two days ago my tail light stopped working.the following day it worked in the morning and stopped working in the afternoon.after finding so many complaints on different forums online i'm not sure how gm can not be recalling these vehicles for this problem.i have already gotten pulled over and told that i would be cited the next time.i am afraid that the driver side headlight will go out before i can get the passenger side fixed.oh yes and my lock chamber on my passenger side back door has gone out.i had the driver side back door fixed when my car was under warranty however, i am on a tight budget and cannot afford to pay over $300 for the dealership to fix this.apparently this is also a problem with the g6.i am nervous to drive my car (that is not even 5 years old mind you) at night!
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving 45 mph, the driver's side headlight failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic three times and the bulb was replaced; however, the failure recurred each time. The contact spoke with taylor chevrolet (2510 n memorial dr, lancaster, oh 43130) where the dealer stated that the lighting control module could be the issue.

2009 pontiac g6 - i was driving my usual route, on several city streets and eventually on a highway, on my way to work when i was stopped in my office by my co-worker.i was told that my brake lights were doing something weird and crazy.she went on to say that as she was behind me, that i must have been riding my brakes all the way until i came to a red light and stopped.my brake lights went off while applying them coming to a stop then back on when driving.so basically while driving, my brake lights are on constantly and when i apply them, coming to a stop, they come off.i had no idea this was going on with my brake lights and i feel completely unsafe as i was driving home.i drive 30 minutes / 30 miles (one way) to and from work each day. Thank you for your time.
I own a pontiac g6 2009and over the last 9 months i have been experiencing my passenger headlight going on and off while the car is operational. It doesn't matter if the ground is smooth or rough it goes on and off.i have had the bulb replaced several times as well as the connector and the headlight still does not work properly. I have read this is a common complaint among g6 owners.most importantly it is a major safety issue.
I was driving down the road being followed by my wife who informed me that as i was driving down the road my brake lights were on but when i hit the brakes my brake lights went off. As days went by it continued to do the brake lighting fault when i noticed that attempting to set cruise control was quite difficult. I'm not sure about you but faulty brake lighting is a serious safety issue. To this day, june 30th 2014 the brake lights are still malfunctioning.
Was driving and notice my brake lights were staying on even though i wasn't hitting the brakes at the time,then when i would apply the brake the lights went off when i let up on the brake lights would come back on if this problem keeps going on with this car it is going to cause someone to have a wreak and get hurt.i think the company needs to have a recall on this part before someone sues the company for wrongful death. I have read many complaints on this issue and its time for the company to make a recall on it.
"takata recall " i have been haing issues with the drivers side low beam going out, had it changed several times and service place said it will continue to go out as the wires are melted and burnt and would need to be a rewired. I also having issues while driving the dash lights all go out and then come back on, feels like it loses the power steering and then goes back to normal but happens several times through out the day while driving. Dash lights, radio everything goes off, the exterior lights stay on but not inside.
The low beam headlight socket has gotten overheated to the point where the plastic has melted away causing the light to fail while driving. I replaced this socket multiple times with the same results. I have also made sure that all grounding points were clear and working properly, which they were all in perfect condition. The date i have provided is the most recent occurrence. This is a known problem for this make and model. If you go onto the internet and do a google search it comes up instantly with countless accounts of the same issue. My sister owns the same vechile but is a 2006 and she has been fighting the same issue. This issue could possibly cause a very serious accident with fatal consequences should both lights fail at night.
My brake lights keep staying on even when the brake pedal is not pressed. Went to the dealer and was told it is a common problem for pontiac g6s. Been to the dealer 3 times in less than a year to get it fixed they just keep replacing the switch but now they say something else is wrong wires corroded. The 2005 g6 had recall for the exact same problem but my 2009 g6 is not on the recall list, same car different year.
Headlights intermittently stop working;have changed the bulbs, cleaned the wires.they work for few weeks and then won't come on. In doing a search on line, i see pages and pages of similar complaint.this is a safety issue.so far it has been one headlight out at a time, but what happens when they do both not work.i have been pulled over, but don't expect they will keep letting me go withoutissuing me a ticket when i tell them it's been in for repair multiple times.
Low beam light on both the driver & passenger sides keep going out. I keep replacing and immediately they go out. Bulbs were not burnt out. Every once in a while, while driving my headlights will randomly come on and go off again.also, the taillights and blinker!! very mad and i do not have a money tree to fund this issue.someone needs to stand up and fix this now!!!!
My passenger side headlight went out so i replaced it only to have it go out again. I realized there were some burnt wires and had it inspected. I was told i needed a new wire harness.
I drive a 2009 pontiac g6/gt sedan, i have replace the low beams bulbs for each light 6 times. Now no accident has occurred, but the bulbs onlylast about a month. The retailers suggest that it is not their problem. I also decided to try different retailers and brand name bulbs. This is dangerous while driving at night, when your light go out.

Left front headlight keeps going out. Once in a while it will come on briefly then go back out. Had the headlight tested, it's not the light, its the electrical. Further investigating this matter online, i found this is a very common issue with these vehicles, yet, no recall has been made available yet. Very disappointed in gm, and will take serious thought into ever purchasing another gm vehicle. This has been an on going issue for months for myself. Needless to say, this is not a cheap fix.
2009 pontiac g6 gt sedan.intermittent problems with the following for the last year:brake lights come on when accelerating and turn off when braking (doing opposite of what they should be doing).cruise control and traction control system both keep going out.sometimes it's just the cruise control, other times the traction control system turns off first which in turn disables the cruise control.whenever the cruise control starts going out, the brake lights start malfunctioning soon after.i suspect this is an issue with the bcm (body control module).front drivers side headlight keeps going out, but the bulb isn't burned out.replaced bulb twice.if i smack the plastic headlight cover, the light comes back on.the wires don't look damaged, so i'm not sure what is causing the problem with the headlight.
Was told my brake lights were not working. Pulled in my garage to check brake lights. Looked like they were staying on. Pressed brake peddle and they went off, after 5sec they came on and stayed on until i pressed the brake peddle then they went off. If i press the peddle off, on, off,on and don't wait 5sec the lights work but if i don't press the brake peddle for about 5 sec the brake lights come on and stay on. Also have bin having a problem with the cruise control. Will not engage because the brake lights are stuck on. Thank you
My headlight on the passenger side of my car continually goes out even with a new bulb.new bulbs last maybe two weeks and then the light shuts off, and will turn on only if i hit the light.i have spoken to several other g6 owners and they have had the same issues with the passenger side headlight.i have a 2009 g6 gt with approximately 118k miles.this issue has been going on since approximately 85k-90k miles.
Brake lights not working when i stop the vehicle replaced brake light sensor and now the trunk brake light is the only one working regular lights all work but the light on the trunk is the only brake light that works when pressing the foot pedal.
My 2009 g6 has 38,000 miles on it. I have had several problems with the low beam headlights. The pigtails are melted & burned. I have tried to replace these exactly as they were hooked up & now the drivers side light will not work.

I have been dealing with the issue of the service traction light coming on in my car, which will cause my cruise control to not work, and, my break lights to either stay on all the time, stay on while i'm driving, shut off while i break, or, just not come on at all. I have at the bcm module cleaned 3 times, this is only a temporary fix. I have completed the recall the gm finally did, this did not solve the issue either. I finally today had to get my entire bcm module replaced, and a very high cost! i think that the recall should have replaced these entirely, because, obviously what they are doing to fix the "recall" is not working!
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the bulb in the headlights continued to blow out because the harness for headlights had melted. The dealer advised the contact that there were no open recalls. The manufacturer did not offer any assistance nor was the vehicle repaired due to the repair cost. The current mileage was 58,000 and the failure mileage was 56,000.
I was driving down the road when the driver's side headlight went out.i have replaced the same headlight at least three times.today, 26 sept 2014, i attempted to replace the headlight bulb again, but found that the connector has melted.i'm concerned that my other headlight may go out while driving, so i will see what the dealership says after the vehicle inspection.i have heard that it can cost between 400 to 500 dollars. Please have this investigated before someone gets hurt or killed.
I have had some issues with the headlights going out.the right low beam headlight went out around 2 weeks ago and it went again two days ago.i have also had the left headlight go out also.also my interior lights wont go off after starting the car and turning the car off for around 30 mins.and the alarm went off by itself also.i had to get the keyless key and turn off. No one was around the car when it went off. I have all kinds of error messages apear on my display that are no concern after checking them out. My main concern is my headlights going out.i consider this a major safety concern.i have both lights go out and had to run the bright lights to get home after dark.please do a recall gm !!

Head light harness burns out and have replaced 2 times and can not get it to stop buring out so i have no head lights with this car please help im not the only one with this issue on this car. Replaced h11 h 9 wire harness h11 bulb h9 socket h9 socket.
2009 pontiac g6i got on the highway and tried to switch on the cruise control and it wouldn't work so i pulled over to the side of the road to see what's wrong. When i got out of my car i noticed that the brake lights were on so i went back and pressed the brakes then they turned off. I started driving again but soon as i turned on the cruise control it comes on but turns right back off. But if i hit the brakes the cruise control will work again for a second then turns right back off that's when i realized that the brake lights come on when i drive but when i hit the breaks they turn off. Im only writing this because my car doesn't have 100,000 miles yet and i saw that your company started an investigation regarding this issue. I would like to know how this can be fixed because it's not just on the highway it's happening now all the time. This can be a safety issue so i'd rather get this fixed now. Please help.thanks!
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving at numerous speeds, the passenger side headlight failed without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the connector melted and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
Headlights stopped working low beam only. Thought the bulbs burnt out but it's the wiring and connectors are melting inside the assembly. No water it's dry. Got lights to work but wires get hot fast and they stop working.
Connectors on headlights burnt out, seems to be a common problem on forums and message boards. Low beam lights are intermittently working, passenger light stays out, connector burnt.
2009 pontiac g6 low beam headlight failure: "unable to find the problem" as beams work intermittently; my local mechanic replaced left light bulb, but referred me back to dealership as "this was a known defect in this car."replaced light bulb (repaired (mechanic was unsure, but replaced anyway) and low beams worked a couple of days, now one (right more randomly left), and sometime both low beams fail intermittently. My wife has received one warning from police; headlight was working again when she restarted car after the warning. With increasing frequency both low beam head lights fail while driving at night. These random failures in low beam illumination requires the driver (my wife usually) to immediately switch on high beams.both high beam lights are working at this time, but these events tend to infuriate oncoming drivers who high beam back at us, so both drivers are blinded. In my opinion, this vehicle is unsafe to drive at any speed at night or in the rain due to random low beam headlight outages. Therefore, we use of the g6 is limited. Though we like the model and had hoped for several more years of use, my wife does not trust the lights will stay on at night, or when it rains. I feel bad about dumping this car on the used/pre-owned car market without filing some form of official complaint. From a brief internet search, the manufacturer (gm) appears to be ignoring this safety issue as a statistically insignificant problem. Sadly, gm will continue to do so until people die and a class action suit is filed. I would not call the pontiac g6 a lemon, it is just plain too scary to drive under certain conditions. There does not appear to be a solution coming from gm and my mechanic can't fix it. This situation makes this vehicle useless and unsafe half the time, i.e., unsafe at any speed after dark!
Unfortunately i have experienced about all of the issues that are being complained about on here. The light connectors melting and blowing the headlights, the electrical system messing up and frying 7 brains, the brake lights not working properly, the steering acting funny just to name a few, and although i have taken the car to the dealership several times since 2010 to have these issues worked on, i continue to have the problems.i think that it is ridiculous that car manufacturing companies are allowed to let these vehicles stay on the road without doing recalls on these dangerous and possibly fatal problems.for years i wanted one of these cars after they came out and now it has been the biggest waste of my time and money.but..that's ok!as soon as i have a wreck or something happens due to one of these problems i will be dialing up my lawyer!!!
My car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year)the power steering warning light illuminated. The failure recurred intermittently and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now). When i smack the headlights, they come back on. I do not always feel safe when driving this car.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the headlights continuously overheated and would burn out. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the headlight wiring pigtail melted, causing the failure. As a result, the assembly needed to be replaced. 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 failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
Both headlight connectors melted.
I have replaced 6 bulbs both driver and passenger side low beam lights i thought they were blown but come to find out they short because they are melting. I have replaced the wiring and the headlight sockets just for them to melt again. I have called chevorlet and gm motors to see why this isn't a safety issue??? tonight i drove down a very dangerous road (we've had a wreck on this road every night this week) in very dangerous fog and my headlights went out thank god one of my brights worked and i had a quick reaction going 55mph not everyone will and that is a shame because chevorlet & gm motors know that they have an issue as they told me in our phone conversations. The wires to my headlights are melting i try not to drive at night because i'm terrified they will catch on fire as i'm driving down the road. Now i am horrified that all lights will go out. This is a huge safety issue!! we're recalling takata airbags (airbags protect you in a crash) but notheadlights going out while driving 55 mph down the road at night? that is putting everyone's safety at risk. Why are we not trying to prevent fatalities???!!!!
When you are driving either one headlight will go out and then come back on. Then the opposite headlight will go out and then comeback on. Then sometimes both headlights will go out at the same time. I've had people flash their lights at me thinking i am high beaming them when one of my headlights turn back on.i also had a spun bearing in the bottom end of the engine which caused the vehicle to stall while turning at an intersection and almost got rear ended. I also had my vehicle stall for no reason at all. Had my mechanic look at it he came to the conclusion that maybe it was the battery and replaced it. I have also had issues with the door ajar light to where it causes the interior light to come on and stay on. I've had the door sensors replaced numerous times and have not had any issue with the door ajar for a little while now. I've also had an issue with bearings locking up in the air conditioning unit that caused a severe burning smell and caused the car to not want to start.therefore i believe there is a major electrical problem with the car causing all of these issues.
Left / driver side headlight connections burning and causing the headlight to not work. Wiring has been replaced 2 times.
Driver side highlight not working.further inspection shows that the headlight wire is corroded & burnt.this is a common issue with this car & several others, yet general motors refuses to issue a recall which can lead to a dangerous situation.
Issues with head lights have burnt out the harness and will not stay running even with replacing bulb and new harness and blowing a cell in the battery to i have no running head lights.
Low beam head lights go out when driving sometimes the left and sometimes the right. When i start the car headlights wont come on i have to tap on the headlight lens to get them to come on, have replaced bulbs and still happens. This has been going on since i bought the car. I have talked with other g6 owners that are having the same problem. When driving on the interstate and the lights go out it is very dangerous.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. When depressing the brake pedal, the rear brake light turned off. While driving without the brake pedal being depressed, the brake lights remained illuminated. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the driver side head light was replaced seven times within an eight month period. The contact started was unsure if the failure was caused by the bulb or the connection. The contact removed the light bulb from the driver's side and installed it on the passenger side with no failures. The contact consulted with their personal mechanic and was advised that the pig tail for the driver side head light was causing the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 57,000 and the current mileage was 59,000.
Brake lights are on when driving down the road and the foot is not on the brake andthen the brake light goes off when braking. Also the electronic power steering is not working sometimes when starting the car.i turn it off and restart and it works.it has also kicked off a couple of times when driving down the road.based on your website the issues are listed for the pontiac g6 saab and chevy malibu.but based on my vin # it's not included.in checking with gm they did the brake light recall back in 2014 on this car but the problem is back again and they show no recall on this vehicle for the power steering issue.the power steering is a real safety issue along with the proper functioning brake light.thank you for your attention on this matter.
While operating vehicle, brake lights work the opposite of what they should.they are on when the pedal is not depressed and go off when the pedal is depressed. I spent ~$300 having the brake pedal position sensor diagnosed and it turns out that the bcm (body control module) has corrosion and required dielectric paste to correct the issue.approximately 14 months later the problem returned and i had a mechanic check for recall and he found a tech bulletin describing exactly this maintenance procedure.they performed it and the problem was corrected but this needs to be 100% corrected as someone is going to get killed.searching forums online i see that this problem is far more common that one would think and this should be addressed immediately.
2009 pontiac g6 passenger side headlight would intermittently go off and finally stayed off. After removing the headlight assembly, i found a melted connect to the light bulb itself. I found a replacement connector at napa auto parts and replaced it. It worked for 3 weeks and went out again. Upon opening up the light, i found the new connector melted again. There is a wiring problem causing this connector to overheat.safety concern is if both fail over time, the driver will not have any headlights for nighttime driving. Also, the headlights are part of the daytime driving lights.
I noticed that the cruise control was not working, soon after that someone told me that my brake lights are on most of the time, only going off occasionally.i have tested it, and you can put the car in park and watch the lights go from off to on with out touching the break petal. (they stay on) i am going to take it in for service tomorrow. I have found out this is not an uncommon problem. This should be a recall issue. I know this problem is under investigation. There are tons of complaints.

I owned my car a little over a year when the driver side headlight went out the first time. I have had to replace it numerous times over the years. In the past 4 months i had to replace the same headlight 3 times. The last time it burned out after one day. I called the dealer to see if there was a recall on the headlights and was told no. I have an appointment to have the harnesses on the headlights replaced. The dealer said gm will only pay half after i said i went on line and found pages of similar complaints. There should be a recall on the headlights. I have spent quite a bit of money on bulbs and to have them replaced. Now they want me to pay half of the repairs even though this is a common defect on the g6. I read that the 2010 models were changed.
The power steer quit working. The brake lights stay on when driving but go off when the brake is applied and it blows headlights on the passenger side.
Drivers side headlight went out while driving in very bad weather conditions at night.replaced bulb and it worked for 2 days before the same thing happened.replaced bulb again and it worked for about 10 days before it happened again.now learning that this happens a lot on this car because the harness connector is melting and needs to be replaced but due to constant overheating it will not permanently fix this problem.gm knows of this problem but deems it not their responsibility.does there have to be a fatality before pontiac/gm takes this seriously?
Brake lights come on without application of brake pedal and do not come on when brake pedal is applied.recall 13036 has been applied...same problem seems to have resurfaced.can happen in motion or stationary; any road/driving conditions.
I've been replacing parts to try to solve the problem of why the brake lights stay on, the cruise control kicks off, the traction control stays on. All these problems are all at the same time.i get it fixed and then 3 weeks later its the same all over again but it keeps getting worse. Alot of people i know with this car keep spending money and it never gets fixed the right way. We all need a solution.
Brake lights illuminate without the brake pedal being depressed. When the brake pedal is then depressed with lights already illuminated, they go out briefly and then come back on. This is obviously a serious safety issue as brake lights may go out when the brakes are applied.
Brake lights stay on while vehicle is moving causing serious safety issue. I am afraid to drive the car fearing i will cause an accident and some one will be injured because of this obvious defect.
Low beam light on both the driver & passenger sides keep going out. I keep replacing and immediately they go out. Bulbs were not burnt out. Every once in a while, while driving my headlights will randomly come on and go off again. The metal in the connectors are fried. I have researched and read multiple reports of the same issue that this is a wiring problem and a fire hazard. Something needs to be done about this before someone gets hurt or there is a fatal accident. Not only is this a fire hazard, but intermittently working headlights could cause accidents if randomly going out. It is clearly a safety hazard and pontiac should be held accountable for this problem.
In 2010 i purchaced a 2009 pontiac g6. I had it for a couple weeks and my head lights burned out. I then got a new one and it burned out again then the other side did the same thing over and over again. When replacing it i see the socket was burned and melted. To this day i have to replace the bulbs every couple weeks and they go out on my way to work and i work midnigh, so its very dangerous. I also have been online and seen hundreds of peoplewho are having this problem and they chatch on fire. The car is a 2009 pontiac g6 sadan here is the link to see all the otherpeople having problems. I have also seen many new g6 cars on the road with one head light out and there brand new.i would hate to see them catch on fire or someone get in to a accident because they can't see at night. I also have received a ticket for it which i had to pay because pontiac didnt build it right. I click up above because the socket was melted which tells me there was a fire.there are over 100 websites with people having the same problem. Http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2008/pontiac/g6/exterior_lighting/problem.aspx
I purchased my used pontiac g6 in october 2013. Before i brought my car off the lot the dealership had to replace the left low beam headlight. No big deal i thought. We'll we have changed this same headlight 3 times. Today 8/11/2014 it needs replacing again . My husband went to check to see if maybe it was unplugged as we knew the bulb should have been fine. Well when he took the back plastic cover off to check my headlight wiring was smoking. How long this has been going on i do not know. We have unplugged this headlight because i have to drive this vehicle about 60 mile everyday for work. We'll needless to say i am terrified to drive it. What happens if it catches fire while me and my grandchildren are on the road???? so far i have only received 1 recall notice.# 13036. That alone is enough forms to stop driving it. I have read several of the same complaints all over the internet. Do we have to die before this is fixed????
Right headlight continues to blow out bulb. Replaced 3 times in 2 weeks.not sure if there is a power surge causing the issue or a short in the wire. Appears to be a problem with this vehicle.
Headlights going out. Poor connection, burning/melted headlight socket, headlight choose when they want to work. Actions taken, i didn't wait for a recall. Burnt socket lead me to believe the harness wasn't able to withstand the amperage. I replaced the wires running to headlights with a larger gauge. Replaced the headlight connector. All has been well since, going on 3 years now.another wiring issue is the injector/can sensor harness. If this becomes loose in any way the car runs very rough, poor fuel, low idle, or stalling. At the time my vehicle stalled and was running rough i had no faults or cel. I thought my timing chain was about to snap. All this due to a electrical connection that wiggled just a tad loose.
The drivers side head lamp went out. I took it to my mechanic they changed the bulb and that didn't work they said the plug for the bulb had burnt up. I had them replace it.about a month later my passenger side head lamp went out and again plug looked like it had burnt up.
Intermittent brake lights working in reverse
For two years now, my driver and passenger side low beam headlights continue to go out. The first time i had this changed, the mechanic informed me this was a "normal" occurrence with these type of cars and he had seen this a lot. He told me there is something going on with the wiring that make the light go out. In 2014 when i had it changed, the mechanic informed me that something was causing it to melt and actually showed me the black melted tar in the back of the light. I had the light replaced two months ago and i anticipate it to go out again anytime. This is very dangerous for night time driving and i am on the road traveling every weekend.
The door locks keep locking and unlocking on their own and now the back passanger door lock stopped working. My brake lights stay on when i'm driving and the bad light keeps coming on but my garage can't figure out why, they said there's no reason for it.
Vehicle brake lights remain on except when brake pedal is pushed, then it goes out. This has not caused an accident yet, but it has high potential if a sudden stop is needed there will no warning for the vehicle following ours.
Low beams have totally stopped working. They started to go off one at a time and would come back on if i banged on them..have changed the bulbs and that is not the problem.. I now drive at night with high beams on since those are the only lights that work.
I have had issues in the past regarding electrical malfunctions with this car. My right headlight continues to go out even with me having it replaced time after time. I have taken my car in for diagnostics tests for maintenance of the car and they have come back saying the car is fine. Although when i go to drive it, somehow a light comes on. Examples include('esc system off' lights, 'service traction' lights, 'tc' off. The main issue that i am reporting just occurred two days ago. I was driving out of the walmart parking lot onto the main road and the light on my car appeared 'power steering off service esc' my steering wheel then stiffened up as i was turning onto the main road. There was a car turning right infront of me that i almost hit, because i lost control of my steering wheel. I then took my car into an auto repair shop where they informed me that this was something they could not fix because they don't have the parts and i would have to take it into a pontiac or a chevy dealership. This problem with the power steering being electrical is not safe and a recall needs to be done on this model as well. I use my car to commute to school and work everyday and this problem poses as not only a safety risk but a inconvenience to my everyday life. I would like something to be done about this issue. I have been researching this problem with pontiacs and i have noticed it's a reoccurring issue, these cars should not be sold to customers with all of these electricalproblems that continue to happen. I have to now pay out of pocket to not only have this car fixed but also for a rental car in the mean time. This is not fair for me as a customer of pontiac and i would like action to be taken. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but the brake lights failed to illuminate until the brake pedal was released. The contact was altered by another driver of the constant malfunction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis where they recommended the vehicle be taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.
I have 2009 pontiac and i have replaced the headlight like five times still doesn't work were i live i see alot of the same car with the same problem. I already had the latch for shifter replaced cause it went out while i was driving seeing all the things that can go wrong as the post of everybody with headlight brakes the engine i think the whole car should be recall before alot of people get hurt its a death trap all kind of things wrong with this car and in this day and time people don't have the money to keep fixing a car that has so many problems not by wear and tear but by not properly putting it together my car was 16,000 dollars and to pay that much and have so many problems is ridiculous.
The headlight connector keeps making the headlight go out more then it stays on....i think it's a poor setup the way it is connected in the car....we have replaced the connector several times and still having this issue!
The head lights socket burn up and melt.leaves me with no headlights.this should be a recall but it it not.
Left low beam not working. Replaced with new bulb twice in a month. Back in 2013, a month after purchasing used vehicle,i had the same problem. I replaces the leftlow beam light three times in one month and then took to dealer who sad the harness had melted.this needs to be recalled. This is seriously dangerous!
On two separate occasions the headlamp wiring assembly failed (first the driver's side, then the passenger's side a few months later). Headlamp wiring on both driver and passenger side showed evidence of high heat (melted wiring and plug) at the rear of the connector in headlamp assembly. Dealership identified this as "normal" for cars with daytime running lights. Car had approximately 57,000 miles at the time.
Brake lights come on and off by themselves while driving also speed control shuts off by itself , nearly caused a wreck when someone told me i was driving with my foot on the brake which i don't.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, the driver side headlight (while operating in low beam) failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not taken to a pontiac dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall and that the warranty had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.
I own two 2009 pontiac g6 vehicles. Both of the connectors in the headlights of each vehicle have melted and need to bereplaced. One has been fixed and the other is waiting to be fixed. They happened at different occasions. This seems to be common with these vehicles and the manufacturer is not taking responsibility for the problem. Please make others aware. I also had a problem with motors for the door locks on both cars going out at the same time. Thank goodness that was under warranty.

Headlights on 2009 pontiac g6 gtconstantly going out. The wiring harness has to be replaced because the connection melts and have to replace the wiring harness. Called gm and they said that it is not a concern for them and will not assist in fixing the issue. This will be the 3rd time i have replaced the wiring harness to the headlights. This is extremely dangerous as it could cause a fire with the amount of heat being generated to cause the connectors to melt.. Also have to drive with the brights on to avoid being pulled over.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights failed to illuminate when braking to a stop. In addition, the brake lights would illuminate independently when the brakes were not being applied. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000. The vin was not available.
G6 pontiac 09 driver side headlite goes out had replaced and went out again.
I purchased the 2009 pontiac g6 in 2011, since then i've replaced the passengers side low beam head ligh bulb a total of 10 times.i've had 2 pig tails installed in the last 2 years; now the problem still persist as of today.something is wrong with pontiac g6 headlights system. I've read serveral complaints of the same thing.
My brake lights are intermittently staying on while driving even though i am not using the brake pedal. The scary part is that they shut off when you hit the pedal and then come back on about 5 seconds later. I saw on the web that there is a known problem with corrosion on the bcm connections. There was a recall for previous years and gm has issued a technical service bulletin on how to fix it because there have been so many problems and complaints. I am going to try a quick fix i found on the pontiac g6 forum before i have to take it to a dealer and spend my own moneyon an obvious defect.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake lights illuminated despite the brake pedal not being depressed. The failure recurred numerous times. The brake lights also failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was being depressed. The contacted was advised by the dealer that there was no recall for the failure. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 81,000.updated 06/17/13
Problem 1approximately 3 months ago, my left headlight stopped working. Replacing the lamp would seem to fix the problem for a few days, but it would then start and stop working intermittently, then go out altogether. The lamp was not the problem. I was able to resolve the problem on my own by splicing in a new lamp plug connector, after searching for the problem on the internet. It has worked without problems for the last couple months, but i can only hope that my "fix" has really addressed whatever the problem was. This problem is discussed at great length on internet forums, and clearly is common with this car. Intermittent headlamps would certainly seem to me to be a safety issue worthy of a recall.problem 2today, i noticed the cruise control would not engage. As i drove along, i tried tapping the brakes, and found the cruise would engage for a few seconds and then go off again. A second drive (at night) confirmed that the car's brake lights were coming on at random and staying on. Tapping the brakes would make them go off, but they come on again a few seconds later. The car is not safely drivable in this condition, which is unresolved. Again, a quick internet search revealed that this is another very common problem with this car. It also appears that a recall actually exists, but for only a tiny number of cars, when this clearly affects the entire model range.this car has only 82,000 miles and i can't drive it safely because none of the lights work correctly. Gm should be forced to recall this model to fix the lighting problems.
I have replace the housing that holds the headlights (pigtails) on both side of this pontiac five times now.the car sends too much electric current to the light bulbs that over heats the pigtails and melts them. I've searched online and have found thousands of complaints of this happening to the g6's.this has to be address and gm should do a recall to fix this before the cars catch on fire. Please email me with your response with the word "pontiac" in the subject line. This is not the first time i've reported this. Please someone do something before someone dies in an accident.
Back in april of 2014 my car started acting strange when getting at 30 mph. I noticed the rpm would get between 3 and 4. My automatic nor manual shift would go into second gear. If it did, i would almost get whiplash. I took it to a mechanic who replaced wire harness and two shift solenoids (sw). I then noticed during the summer my driver front head light doesn't work at all even after replacing the bulb. Again, in november of 2014 my car began repeating itself with the transmission problems. I took it to another mechanic and he said it's the solenoids. This is a danger to the driver and passengers because it'll stop going the way speed it needs to. I can't afford to keep putting money into something that keeps breaking down. Please help!! by the way, the driver side wiper sprayer stopped working.
I purchased this car in summer 2013. It was fine for a couple months then the cruise control started going out and the esc and traction control would code at the same time. I searched on the internet and found the gm service bulletin that said to remove the connectors from the computer and apply dialectic grease due to corrosion. This would work 30 to 60 days then i would have to apply more grease. Before christmas i was driving home at night and noticed that my brake lights were stuck on. I found that this would often happen at the same time that the other problems would code and other times the brake lights would just come on. I have applied grease several times this winter and it doesn't work anymore. The esc and traction control code at random times, and the cruise control becomes inoperable. The air bag light is now on and stays on. These are all annoying but the issue that scares me is the brake lights coming on at random times when i don't touch the brake pedal. That is obviously unsafe and i would hope that gm would step up and fix it. They wouldn't have issued the service bulletin if they didn't know there was a problem, and the dealership i purchased it from had smeared the connectors heavy with grease so they must have read the service bulletin too.
Head light harness burns out and have replaced 2 times and can not get it to stop burning out so i have no head lights with this car please help im not the only one with this issue on this car.
For approximately 6-8 months my headlights have been constantly going out. I have replaced headlights once a month since it began. This is extremely hazardous since my headlights will go out randomly while i am driving. I figured since the brake recall was electrical, this applies to the whole car, but gm says it does not affect the whole car. I was told that the corvettes are having this same issue and i would need to pay $100 diagnostic fee to be able to move forward. I think electrical issues affect the whole car, but with all the recalls gm is trying to avoid what it can. I'm not a mechanic though. Hopefully if enough people are having this issue gm will be forced to recall.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake light would fail to illuminate properly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000.
I keep having an issue with the wiring to the low beam bulb the plug keeps melting i've replaced the pigtail twice still the same problem works when it wants to it gotten me pulled over plus its very unsafe.
The low beam headlight continuously burns out. I have replaced it 5 times approximately once per month. I am very careful not to touch the bulb.i have also bought the bulbs from different stores just in case it was a bad batch.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the headlights were continuously burning out due to the bulb becoming overheated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the connector burned and as a result, the head light assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 74,000 and the current mileage was 74,599.
On 12/31/2011 i was pulled over for a burnt out headlight. Upon replacing the bulb i noticed that the socket where the bulb plugs in was melted. I put a new bulb in and it worked for 3 months. When that went out in march of 2012 i replaced it again. Now in august of 2012 that bulb burnt out. There is a connection to the melted harness as the bulb that burnt out was melted slightly where it made a connection to the socket. This is obviously an issue that goes well beyond my vehicle as a search on the internet shows other owners with the same issues. When the light bulb burns out at night it puts everyone at a safety risk which is not acceptable. Gm needs to do something about this.
The brake light on the 2009 pontiac g9 intermittently go off and on. Brake lights are on while the brakes are not applied and go off when the brakes are applied. This issue could cause a serious accident.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights would not illuminate when the brakes were being applied and remained illuminated when brake pedal was not being applied.

The vin was not available.the failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 60,000.
I was pulled over by a police office for suspected i was drunk driving. He said it was because of my erratic brake lights. After that by watching the rear window light at night i realized that my brake lights are on with no pedal applied, off when i apply the brakes and on again when i apply them hard. I now realize because the cruise control only works with the lights are off that this problem has been on going since i bought the car used last year. I took it to a shop to get fixed and the repair only lasted less than two days before failing again.i've read on the internet that this may become a recall but 2009 wasn't listed as one of the years. My g6 coupe 2009 has the same problem as described on the 05 thru 08.
Drivers side low beam light went out. I replaced and a week later it went out again. I replaced that one and about two weeks later it went out again. Both replaced bulbs were not burnt out. The low beams both work when i remote start my vehicle. Once i get in and turn on the key with the vehicle already running, the headlight goes out.every once in a while, while driving, my headlights will randomly come on and go off again. I have researched and read multiple reports of the same issue that this is a wiring problem and a fire hazard. Something needs to be done about this before someone gets hurt or there is a fatal accident. Not only is this a fire hazard, but intermittently working headlights could cause accidents if randomly going out. It is clearly a safety hazard and pontiac should be held accountable for this problem.
Low beam headlight was out and replaced in approx. June 2014.headlight out again less than 2 months after replacement.dealer found the harness in the headlamp assembly was melted and replaced it.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the tail lights failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control) however, the repair failed to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I am having a problem with my right front lowbeam headlight. I had it changed out and it still works when it wants to.i went to the dealer and the body shop man there told me it may be a electrical problem and for me to take it back to the front and talk to them. They are wanting to charge just to see if it is a electrical problem. Icame close on getting pulled over. The only reason why i didn't is because i hurried up and got out of sight.

Blown headlightpontiac g6 2009 passenger-side front (low beam) headlight blew out september 2013.new bulbs were purchased and both bulbswere installed. In march 2014, the low beam headlight on passenger-side was no longer working again. I contacted the bulb manufacturer, thinking it was a defective bulb.i received replacement headlight bulbs from bulb manufacturer on wednesday, april 2, 2014.second set of bulbs were installed on friday, april 4, 2014. By monday, april 7, 2014, the passenger-side low beam light was no longer working again.in search of answers as to why the bulb would stop working so quickly, i contacted the bulb manufacturerand spoke with a customer service representative. Their position is the problem does not rest with their product.i also contacted and spoke with the mechanic at auto service center where replacement bulbs were installed.the mechanic informed me the headlight bulb blow out may be related to a problem with bulb "connector".i tried to contact general motors in writing regarding this matter on tuesday, april 8, 2014. However, the only option was via a form on their website which did not work once you hit 'submit'.i will try again.i would like this matter reviewed and resolved as soon as possible.i am out of money for the initial part as well as the labor for the installations.also, my drive-time is pretty much confined to daylight hours (unless i use the high-beams) to avoid getting a traffic ticket; and that is assuming it is not a stormy day at which time headlights are needed for safe driving.thank you.

My headlight went out about 3 weeks ago i replaced it and then it went out again and had someone look at it and was told the wiring was melting which i had the same thing happen on the driver side last year and had a friend replace the wiring. Contacted pontiac and they said i have to get diagnostic testing done.i have noticed this on alot of these types of vehicles.
Driver side low-beam headlight not working.replaced bulb in 23 november 2013 and again on 5 october 2014.light went out again on 15 october 2014.dealer replaced headlight lamp socket as socket was burnt out.internet searches show numerous issues with pontiac g6 headlamps having issues with headlight lamp sockets ... Electrical arcing within socket causing carbon build up and lamp failure.this should be a recall item by gm on this vehicle to fix this safety issue.
Driver side low-beam burned out.. I changed it.. Two (2) days later the light was out again.. I changed the bulb again and noticed the plug-in where the bulb gets plugged into looked like it shorted out there.. It was burned.. I put the new bulb in and two to three days later, it was out again.. Both times the bulbs did not look like the burned out... I am tired of taking the headlight off of the car to change the bulbs.. I'm gonna have to do it again though, so we don't get a ticket for having a light out..something needs to done about this, because i know i'm not the only one with this problem...[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the driver and passenger's side headlights stopped illuminating. The contact replaced the bulbs but the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Passenger side lowbeam went out, replaced bulb and it went out again, inspected wiring harness and noticed it was charred and melted, and the wiring near it was also charring and insulation burning off. Replaced wiring harness, bulb went out again a few days later, inspected new wiring harness and noticed it was melting again. Suspect short as even the wires are getting very hot, however no fuse has blown to date. Concerned about sudden lack of visibility at night and about fire risk.
The solution gm has for recall #14v252000 does not work. The recall was fixed 9/2014 and on 10/31/15 the same problem was noticed.this has been noticed when the vehicle is in motion.brake lights come on when brakes are not applied, go off when brakes are applied.i brought vehicle into a chevy dealership on 11/09/15. They replaced a brake pedal position sensor.noticed on 11/09/15 in pm that the brake lights remain on and do not change when the brake is pressed. A service traction came on 11/10/15 and again on 11/17/15.i have not had an opportunity to drive behind the vehicle while this service traction light is on.i have taken a picture of the service traction light twice showing the mileage and time.i have read similar complaints regarding this nhtsa recall #14v252000 (gm recall #13036) on this website!i know this will not be taken care of unless a number of people die from an accident just like the ignition switch recall!!
Cpsc: i1360207a. 2009 pontiac g6 coupe. Consumer stated her car is having the same brake problem as the ones she's read about online. *lnthe consumer took the vehicle to a repair shop, where it was reprogrammed. However, two days later, the problem returned. The consumer stated the brake lights would come on, when his foot was not on the brake pedal, and they would go out, when he foot was on the pedal.
Passenger low beam went out. Replaced headlight. Went out about a week later. Got another headlight and replaced it again, same thing happened.
As i was driving towards my home after dark, my drivers side headlight (low-beam) went out. Because i was on a rural road, i turned on my high-beams.in less than a minute an i went back to my low-beams due to an oncoming car and i had no low-beam lights at all. I immediately turned my high-beams back on so i could be seen by the other car. After returning home i informed my husband of the problem.the next morning he checked the headlight lamps and found that the electrical plug/sockets to both low-beam lights were shorted-out, burned, and melted.while at a local auto-parts store trying to get replacement pig-tails to repair the lights i talked to one of the sales persons who also works at a local gm dealership. He told me that they see 6 to 10 cars a week that have had this same problem. This is a very dangerous situation and it appears to be very common.
My 2009 pontiac g6 low beam head light problem began a few days ago. My drivers side low beam went out, so i bought a new one and put it in only for my wife to call me at 5:30 this morning to tell me both the lights went out on her as she was driving to work. How safe is this? i can't get them to work and i don't know what to do. I tried replacing them again at $25 a piece and they still don't work.this seems to be a problem with this car as i see it posted all over the internet. Can we get a recall or something or does it take a few deaths before someone will investigate?
We had no rear tail lights coming down a dark street. And almost got rear ended. Have been pulled over by the cops because no rear lights. Now the front lights go in and out. Have to keep replacing the bulbs. There's no warning when lights are out.
My brake lights will come on when i am driving and will go off when i apply the brakes.also i will have warning lights come on randomly.same issues under nhtsa campaign number 14v252000.dealership has done recall work for this twice they told me and have charged me for the repairs and repairs to my warning lights as well and it is still not fixed.this happens everyday.
The headlight (h11) on the passenger side of my g6 would randomly stop working.we had changed the bulb once already and with further investigation we discovered the h11 wiring harness connector appeared to be melted.we then went to purchase a replacement the local auto parts stores were unable to assist us.we then went to our local gm service and the technician informed us that this h11 connector was a recall item on the arcadia and he had some on hand and sold us one.since this item is already a recall item on a different model he stated to hold on to the receipt incase it becomes a recall on our car.i paid nearly $40 to fix the passenger side to ensure if the drivers side goes out i will have time to fix that to prevent no headlights at all. Please consider making this a recall to ensure safe driving, i enjoy driving my g6.

I have a 2009 pontiac g6 gt. Since the time that we have bought our car we have had nothing but problems with the passenger side headlight. We have replaced the pigtails and all the wiring. We replaced the bulb every few weeks for it to only burn out a few days later. No one can tell us whythis problem can not be fixed. There have been hundreds maybe thousand of complaints on online forums about headlight problems and even fire and melting of the housing. I am constantly pulled over due to the headlight being out. This is an extremely dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. Withoutproperly working headlights people are going to get seriously injured or kill someone because we can't see properly.
2009 pontiac g6. Consumersent in repair invoice. *tarecall # 14v252000.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated the front passenger side headlight would fail intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told there was a short in the wiring. The dealer advised that the headlight harness would need to be replaced. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Low beam bulb housing keeps burnning up. I have elected to remove the fuse and not drive at night.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the bulb needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred three times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The vin was not provided.
I noticed that the driver side low-beam headlight was out. Went to replace bulb and noticed that the headlight connector itself was melted. The fuse for the light did not fail.
The headlight went out, could not replace it, took it to the dealer and was told it was an electrical issue and the repair would not be covered by the warranty. The dealer fixed it about a $180.00. The headlight went out again in march 2013, at first it kept clicking and could be put on again by hitting the light cover but then finally went out.that light was never fixed again until may 2014 when the state inspection was due, the fix lasted less than 24 hours and now the car is back to having only one headlight.

Brake lights are intermittently staying on continuously or not working at all. My vin shows no recalls, however when i search online, i find the recall as a safety issue. This is occurs while i am driving
We have replaced the front headlights almost 3 times in the last 2 months due to wiring 'burning' and causing the lights to go out. The actual light bulbs themselves are fine. It is the connection to the bulb that is the problem. It is first noticed when starting the car while even having headlamps set to automatic, they do not light up. Sometimes once you start driving, one lights up while the other remains out. High beams, fog lights and turn signals are fine.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the headlight assembly malfunctioned. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the headlight assembly twice, but the failure recurred. The contact continued to experience the head lamps burning out and the low beams failed to illuminate again. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who indicated that the part was defective and that the failure may recur again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 7/1/15the consumer stated the low beam headlight burned out 4 times. The socket was burned and replaced.updated 9/15/2015
My low beam passenger head light stopped working and i go to have it replaced and it still won't work. We have tested the bulbs and the sockets and they are fine. Can't seem to get it figured out anywhere!
Takata recall - the left dim headlamp gets so hot that it melts the wires and the bulb connector cause the headlamp to only work sometimes or not at all. This happens when ever the lamp gets to hot whether parked, or moving.
My driver side light was replaced twice, went to my garage and they replaced the connectors. Now as of 3/15/13 my passenger side light was replaced twice and while driving it goes off and comes back on constantly. This also resulted in getting pulled over by a policeman and failed inspection. As soon as i left to go home from the dealership the light came back on.
In may 2012 the driver side headlight went out so we replaced it with a brand new light. Within 2 weeks (june 8th), i was driving in indiana when i noticed my headlight was out again. We again replaced the headlight and since then it works intermittently. When i start the car in the morning and the headlight is out, then most of the time, it will turn on as i am driving down the road. If the headlight is on when i start the car, them most of the time as i drive down the road it was flash and then shut off. I have been stopped by police officers for the headlight being burned out and i refuse to buy another headlight.
The low beam head lights are melting there connector makingthe lights to go out random and some times blowing the light bulbs. This happens at any time day and night in motion or not. It is extremely dangerous when the lights go out and im driving as i can't see anything and other drivers can't see me. The high beams do work but that is dangerous to drive with any traffic as it can causethem to not be a be to see.
Takatarecall , my headlights started to go out around last year.i replace the bulbs which was no easy task all to find out that the wire harness in this make and model go bad .real bad where the wires in the headlights short out and corrode , i had to replace both headlights and to no avail they are going out again . I have never seen a car that i would have to replacethe whole head light over and over again. This is a major safety concern you have to have lights that work in order to see to drive & it is the law to have fully functions headlights and turn signals. They can go out at anytime just by turning the car on or driving. I paid 22.00 x2 for each bulb , $150 online ( 200 for each at dealers) for a pair of headlights and $80 to install them and now just anther $50 to diagnose & $65.00 for anther brand new headlight online cause i cant afford anther &200 for ken towery or the chevy dealership to do it,since the driver side has gone completely out yet again within less than year of me just replacing them, i have no head light ,no park light, no high beam or turn signal lights cause all the wires in the head light are corroded yet again. There are several complaints online regarding this issues with this make and model , gm made a big mistake with these headlights and consumers are the ones paying for this mistake that should never had happened with this car or any others. I am surprised by the corrosion in these wire harness & scared that it could trigger a fire hazard by shorting out .
Left headlight burns out.numerous. Bulb replacements and headlight does not work.very dangerous driving at night.
We have had ongoing issues with the rear running lights shorting out and the driver's side low beam going out.we replaced fuses for rear running lights 4 times.i was pulled over by local police and had to be picked up to get home, leaving the car at police station until i could drive safely in daylight. We have replaced the low beam bulb 3 times.the low beam light would intermittently work at times.now, again it is not working at all.i have read excessive consumer complaints stating the same problems with 2009 pontiac g6 vehicles.
I own a 2009 pontiac g6.in august of 2011, my left front headlight began to work only intermittently until it no longer would illuminate.i replaced the bulb in the headlight, and it was back to working as it should.a matter of six or so months went by and the right light began to have the same problem until it went out.i replaced it as well, however, within the next few months the right headlight went out again.i have not had the problem officially diagnosed, although internet research seems to show a problem with the connector.
My brake lights stay on constantly while my car is on and driving. The brake lights go off when i hit the hit brake pedal.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6.the contact stated that the brake light remained illuminated. Additionally, the cruise control function would disengage and engage independently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed.the manufacture advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 09v036000 exterior lighting. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 105,000.
Headlights don't work.the right headlight doesn't work - the left cuts out.i've seen reports that gm has extended the warranty for this problem but when i call the dealership or gm service direct they don't know anything about it.gm service hung up on me when i told the person that if they don't know the difference between a throttle body and a headlight they shouldn't be manning the service line for general motors.
Headlamps & taillights burn out every few months. Technician at gm dealership said it is occurring in numerous gm vehicles. It is an electrical issue that causes the bulbs to burn out. Since it is an electrical issue that sends too much power and causes burning wires, i am afraid this will eventually start a fire. I should not have to switch these bulbs out constantly. I am also surprised i have not been pulled over or in an accident yet due to non functioning tail lights or headlamps. Nor should i have to pay to get this fixed when it is clearly an issue with the construction of the car. I am currently at 45,000 miles and i am no longer under warranty. I sent an email to gm (which i can forward you if need be) and a week later i saw that a recall was issued about headlamps/tail lights. A gm dealer searched my vin number and my car did not come up under said recall. I tried to call gm today and waited for 20 minutes on hold and then was disconnected. I refuse to do this again.
2009 pontiac g6. Requesting reimbursement for repairs due to recall. *taaccording to the repair invoice, the bcm shorted out. Recall #14v252000.
Having problems with headlights either one or the other goes out without warning sometimes both. Have replaced the bulbs several times but to no avail. The other night traveling home in the dark both lights went off i had to pull over and "smack" the lenses to get the lights to come back on. I see that this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle. How long and how many lives will it take to get a recall?
Brake lights would come on without depressing brake pedal and cruise would disengage. Dealer advised a pedal switch needed to be replaced to correct. Also need to have front rotors machined and back brake rotors replaced. Seems like low miles for the back brakes to need replacement (country/highway driving).
Was stopped by the police stating i had no taillights. Took the car to the dealer and they stated that the fuse was blown and replaced. Within about 3 weeks the fuse blew again. Had it in twice since and they still cannot find the problem. Keep it a few days and resend the car out. I have checked it out and it seems that when it blows it is in auto mode and when auto lights come on. They said no connection and leave it again. This is a safety issue for my family if we lose taillights at night we could be rear ended.also i am on my third set of headlights. Keep blowing out. And second set of tires.
Noticed headlight burned out. Replaced it. Burned out again in a week. Replaced again and burned out in two days. Replaced with best bulb available and has been intermittent after one week. Read many posts online about this problem. Now i need to have a mechanic troubleshoot a flakey electrical problem which can be very expensive. I believe any safety equipment issues should always be warranty work from the dealer.
Blinker switch won't turn off after you turn corner.
Drivers side headlight went out while driving at night. Investigated situation the following morning and found socket on same headlight severely melted. Researched issue on internet and found many other instances of like condition. Manufacturer should address before fatality or fire occurs.
My brake lights stick or remain on even when they are not being pressed making it appear that im riding my brakes. I have been pulled over by the police once already. I have replaced the brake light switch twice and it works for a couple of days only. I have seen a recall in the 2005 and 2006 models but it is still occuring in the newer models. I have seen hundreds of blogs about this problem in this particular model of car. This is just an accident waiting to happen when your brake lights arent working correctly. As well as the car getting stuck in park.
Issues with low beam headlights randomly going out then coming back on at first for a couple of months, then went out completely. Replaced bulbs (low beam) with same problems. Finally found that the low beam light sockets (primarily passenger side) were arcing and shorting out causing bulbs not to work. Recall should be issued to have gm remedy this problem. This is a chronic problem with this line of cars!
The dim headlights keep going out i have replaced them 3 times and still go out i believe it's in the wiring because if you hit the headlight they will soon come back on. I've read the wiring harness gets to hot and melts the wires seems like a fired hazard to me.
The driver side headlight has been fixed several times over the past two years. The light continues to burn out within weeks. The connectors are burning out also. I am scared to drive at night because i am not sure if the light will go out. I am the 1st and only owner of this vehicle.the interior lighting is also malfunctioning. The lights get low by themselves while driving. The radio monitor goes blank. This is all electrical. Please help! thank youupdated 12/1/2014
Tail lights continue to stay on.the traction control says it needs to be serviced.the cruise control does not work.same as earlier model g6's.same as #08-05-22-009a.
I had someone following me home the other day and when we arrived they asked me why i kept putting on my brakes and letting off. I was not touching the brakes. We cranked up the car and stood behind it and watched and the brake lights would come on and go off without anyone even sitting in the car. I got in and started pressing the brake pedal and when i pressed the pedal the lights would go off. When i let off of the pedal the lights would come on.that's when i started searching this issue and found all the other people out there that have had the same issues with their g6's. In my opinion and everyone else that has this problem, this is a major safety issue. My daughter drives this car and it makes me extremely worried that something could happen. How in the world can gm not be taking action to resolve this problem considering how much talk they advertised about the quality of the new g6?gm needs to stand up and do the right thing here before someone really gets hurt or dies due to an accident involving these brake lights.
The low beams say on anytime the car ismotion because of the day time running lights and the wires for the h11 bulb connector melt from over heating. The wire is not heavy duty enough to be day time running light. I've replaced both headlamp because of this problem and soon i will have to again . It is ridiculous.
The headlamp socket has blown out 3 light bulbs since january (it is now july). The socket has totally melted and parts of it have broken off making it impossible to replace the bulb again. The socket and bulb have burn marks on them.
Rear passenger door will not lock/unlock. Heater on front passenger seat will not work. Tire service monitor comes on randomly. Cruise control works intermittently, but does not work more often than it does. Loud, rubbing noise coming from steering column when making turns. Low beam headlights work intermittently (got stopped by a policeman and warned of a citation the next time i would get stopped). I had one bulb changed. Two weeks later it went out, but the bulb was not burnt. Then, it started working again. A month or so later the other one went out. I had both wiring harnesses changed and new bulbs put in. Recently, i was told i had a burnt headlight (low beam again).i have been stopped on the interstate to be told that my brakes were flashing (while driving) and then they were working opposite of what they should be (brake lights on while driving and off while braking). I have seen other pontiac g6's with the same issue. This is a very dangerous issue in my opinion as i could easily be rear-ended due to faulty brakes.i have read similar issues by other pontiac g6 owners. Will recalls be issued for any of these issues? i am a single parent and do not have money to pour into this car so most of it stays broken!sad considering i paid over $26k for this car and still owe over $10,000, yet it's worth probably $7,000. I can't even sell it with these issues!!!i would love to travel, but i don't even feel safe in this car any longer.

My driver side headlight was out. I replace the bulb from 2 different auto store and still not working. Then my dad look at the connector look and seen that 1 of the wires was burned out. So i was told to take it to gmc and see if they can fix it since i had extended warranty. After telling service dept my issue and what i thought was wrong; i get hit with a $89 diagnose it fee that i had already had told them what was going on. They called and let me know that my connector was burned out and need to replace them in order the light to work and it wasn't covered thru my extended warranty so i had to pay $290 to get fix.after google this issue looks like this a on going issue for this vehicle that i think should be a recall before something else get shortage due to burned out wiring. I don't have the vin# and mileage left paper work at home.

When i press on the brakes the brake lights don't come on and when i'm not pressing on the brake lights they are on. This seems to be connected to the cruise also kicking off at the same time.
The cruise control will work and then in the middle of driving it quits. This seems to be related to the brake lights not working properly. Also, seems related to these two messages some time coming on:"service traction" and "service esc."

Brake lights come on intermittently causing cruise control to shut off. At the time, the only way to make the brake lights shut off was to step on the brake. Within the last week the brake lights are coming on more frequently and not shutting off at all. This can be a serious risk for accidents as anyone behind the vehicle believes the brakes are constantly being pressed.

I have already made a complaint about the pontiac now i am making another complaint. The pontiac g 2009 is already starting to do the gas tank expanding. There is something that needs to be done about this.
Ihave a 2009 pontiac g6 gt 4d. It is currently registered to my girlfriendvin#[xxx]. Due to the electrical and technical problems this car has given use so much problems. Especially at night. Well it has an automatic light turn on and i have notes thatthe back brakes will not turn on unless my foot is on the brake. It is very dangerous for me to be driving especially with children. I'vehad cars come from around us and tell us to turn on the lights it quit embarrassing. It ended up to whatever electrical problems it had caused the car to have engine problems to were the car was saying reduced engine problems we have spend lots of money trying to get this car running but if something was fixed something else went wrong i have change the computer that cost a lot of money it has got to the point now that the cars cadillac converter, and fuel injectors have gone out. I have attempted to get the cadillac converter fixed but the best thing i could do was get it hollowed out. Know it makes a loud noise. I haven't ran the car for about two years now because the cost of repair for this car is out of my budget.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Had to replace fuel pump @ 55,000 miles.according to others, this is a common problem.we had a smell of gas and fumes leaking into our garage for who knows how long...this is where our water heater is!! could have blown up the house...ridiculous, this is happening to many, many others.
For several weeks, strong smell of gas when vehicle is parked in garage.
On 4/7/15, while driving heard chimes. All icons on instrument panel turned on. The fuel gauge needle moved to empty.the low fuel gauge turned on.all this indicating malfunction.the odometer turned off and the code error came on and turned off; then the odometer came back on. All the icons on the instrument panel turned off except for the security light icon which stayed on.it felt as if someone was attempting to disable my vehicle.later that day turned the vehicle on and everything seemed normal, like it reset itself.on 4/8/15, after driving approximately 70 miles on the highway, the security light icon turned on and stayed on.i took the vehicle directly to the dealer and they informed me they would have to diagnose the vehicle.the result was inconclusive, they did not find anything wrong.so not only was i put in an unsafe condition, this end up costing me $140.00 just to tell me they could not find anything - not only am i in the hole for $140 but i am back to square one.i feel gm should foot this bill as a customer courtesy due to the predicament this vehicle put me in.this should never have happened to a vehicle that is 6 years old and 80,000 miles.
Large fuel leak at rear of gas tank above exhaust pipe resulting in an overwhelming fuel smell inside and outside of vehicle. Diagnosed by dealership as cracked return line connection on the fuel pump module. Part was replaced by dealership.

I was driving up an incline on i-287 in nj when my rpm's skyrocketed and by car's check engine light came on and my traction control light as flashed.my car began losing speedand became hard to control due to a loss of traction.upon a visit to my mechanic it was found to be my catalytic converter.i have looked online and discovered the g6 from 04-10 have been known to experience this problem but yet gm has failed to make a recall.i would appreciate if you could look further into the situation.i was fortunate to be able to get my 4 way flashers on and avoid an accident narrowly.if my car had stalled like some of the other people i have read about who have had this problem it could have been fatal.
Catalytic converter needed replacing with less than 125, 000 miles on engine. Could not afford to replace so could not get state inspection to pass. Has been sitting and not driven since march 2019. Between dec 2018 and march 2019, both front and rear brakes failed. Car driver's door and convertible top stopped working. Needs approx. $3000 to fix which i don't have but still paying $261./ monthly payments and cannot drive. Finance company says they will not let me do voluntary repo. I am retired on fixed income. Any advice would be appreciated. Cannot even sell because i owe $7000 on it and not worth half that. What can you do with a car that only sits in driveway?
Started noticing a prominent gas smell everytime i pulled my daughter out of the back seat. I lokked underneath the car and noticed a drip, took the car in to a local shop and they found the fuel line ruptured. I found a gm campaign number 12190, the dealer said i am not covered. I bought the vehicle in ca which is one the states that such campaing mentions to be covering. The smell is very noticeable after placing the ignition in acc, which primes the pump i assume, if the car has been sitting for a few hours or overnight the smell is gone. I believe that my vin should still be covered by gm as this is present a fire hazrd and potential for serious injury.
My 2009 pontiac g6 has gas fumes coming from it. I been reading online and found numbers of problem's with this. With all the people having problems with this i think gm needs to solve this problem before someone get hurt or killed. Please take care of this problem and have it recalled.
Strong fuel smell and takes longer to turn over.plastic hose on top of fuel pump cracked requires entire fuel pump to be replaced. Similar issue that required recall of previous years.
Vehicle started smelling of gasoline with no apparent leaks. The motor had begun to run roughly and did not start immediately upon turning over. Not long after, gasoline began to drip from the heat shield below the fuel tank. Upon removal of the fuel tank, it was found that gasoline had pooled on top of the tank and was leaking from a cracked fuel line elbow directly above the fuel pump. Upon removal of the tank, the line broke completely from the pump.
Leaking antifreeze overheatingpressure building up in radiator.
Strong gasoline smell from the car after driving.suspect the fuel hose or fitting from the fuel pump is leaking gasoline on top of the gas tank.the fuel pump connector is right next to it and it could ignite the gasoline!
Started smelling loud gas fumes found out it is a gas tank leak was told a recall was issued about this problem with pontiac g6 series dealer gm not aware is there a recall to repair the problem.
My 2009 pontiac g6 gt has strong smell of gas while sitting in the garage. Pontiac has had many complaints for same problem, different years. Customers have found plastic hose on top of gas tank cracked and leaking gas on top of tank. Very dangerous! this should be addressed as recall repair!
The air bags like say service but no one see what's wrong, the fuel car will not crank after gas is put in. It ask to check gas cap even put new cap on and sti not working
Strong smell of gasoline noticeable from 10 or more feet away from vehicle when parked or running. Cannot park in garage due to strong fuel smell. Vehicle has not been overfilled. Smell has been noticeable for many months but is getting stronger lately. Researching this on the internet yields many results with similar complaints, focused on a defective elbow on the fuel pump assembly.
Car lost power while driving on highway. Engine light came on .garage pulled codes and discovered 4 full quarts low on oil. They proceeded with diagnosis and timing chain stretched to blown motor. No oil light ever came on nor any warning from the driver info center on the dash.
The vehicle has a fuel leak and gas fumes. Caused by heat and vehicle vibrations.
Have a gas odor coming from my car.when trying to start the car in the morning it cranks slightly longer but if i just turn the key on and wait a few seconds it seems to build up fuel pressure and cranks right up.
Known problem with fuel tank leaking with the pontiac g6 2009 and numerous complaints i have submitted a complaint with my fuel leaking at the top of the tank this is a very extreme safety and hazardous problem can a recall be issued the dealer ship will only repair if a recall or aski g me for over a thousand dollars from research there have been numerous complaints submitted about this problem please help.. Smell of gas when driving on driver side of car was told by gmc gas leak at top of tank.
My vehicle exhibits the exact description of the faulty ggas tank leak covering the g6 up to 2008 but mine is a 2009. It is unacceptable to not cover every year that has this problem. The gas leaks right onto the muffler which is hot and can be deadly in my opinion. We are afraid to drive the car since i took a good look at how bad the leak actually is. Pontiac hassold a defective product to unsuspecting buyers which could easily cause death if the gasoline igignitesr the fumes falling directly on the hot muffler cause an explosion.i took several photos showing the extent of the leak. Pontiac customer support said my car is not covered because it was built in a plant that fixed the leak issue already. When i asked the rep if it was fixed already ehy was it leaking he had no answer. Only stated that my car was not covered and i had to pay for the repairs myself out of pocket. How are they allowed to put the public at grave risk and not be respinsible for fixing their defective product? this issue serms very serious to me snd i just pray nobody gets bloen up.is there anything else i can do? unbelievable...p.s. Car leaks anytime it is on and gas lines are pressurized. In the photos you can see that the muffler is bathed with gasoline which can easily cause a fire or explosion.
Strong gas smell after parking the car.no visible gas on ground or around gas cap.
Noticed a strong smell of gasoline coming from the rear of the vehicle, most notably in the trunk.online searches have noted that it is likely a cracked elbow on the fuel pump module that feeds the fuel lines.odor has steadily increased over the past month.
After parking my car i smell a very strong gas smell for several hours so i can not park my car in my attached garage because it makes my whole house smell like gas.it started in our over 100 degree summer weather and seems to be getting worse every day.it also starts hard after it has sat for some hours.i am afraid it could start a fire. I do not feel safe driving my car!!!i see the 2009 g5 has a recall for what sounds like the same issue.a problem with the fuel pump module (a crack) but i do not see one for the g6.in an article jeff boyer states he wants gm customers to have complete peace of mind.which i would like to have with my g6 - 4 cylinder.
Strong smell of gas at startups. Possible fuel leak like other gm vehicles. Please issue a recall as this is extremely dangerous.
I purchased a 2009 pontiac g6 in dec 2009. When the vehicle was taken into the dealership for its first oil change (@3000 miles), a fuel odor was detected coming from the rear wheel area. This smell was mentioned to the dealership and the owner was told by the service writer that it was a 'shop spill' and not from the car. On other occasions a fuel odor was detected by the owner, but they were dismissed as flukes. Recently, (06/13) a very strong fuel odor began coming from the rear wheel area of the car. The hotter weather seemed to make the problem more noticeable. Research was done on various blogs and forums, and the owner determined that the problem was most likely a cracked fuel line or fuel return line on the top of the fuel tank and that the dealers charge $800 or more for the replacement of the fuel pump assembly. The problem has been a known issue for the g6 since the 2006 model and as yet, general motors has not done the "right thing" and issued a recall. If my vehicle was much older or had a lot of miles on it, i might feel better about this problem occurring, but the vehicle only has 33,000 miles on it, and is only 3 1/2 years old. I hope that no one dies from this design/manufacturing defect before general motors takes appropriate action and recalls these vehicles. I know that it would be very costly, but much less expensive than the potential lawsuits they will have to settle if someone dies or is injured or property is destroyed due to fires. I know that i would stand up in court with this message and the internet postings that show this is major problem and testify that "gm knew about this problem and took no action". Hopefully, somehow g6 owners can get together and force gm to take the corrective action that they should and reimburse the owners that have already made the repairs.
Another complaint about the fuel odor which is caused by poor material used on fuel pump. It is around rear of car and inside car, also over muffler. Possible fire hazard. Should be addressed to gm for a recall.happens to 99% of these vehicles. It only happens after vehicle has been driven.
The gas tank on this 2009 pontiac g6 gt is leaking fuel. Car was taken to dealer, dealer said that the fuel pump located in the gas tank needed to be replaced as it is leaking. Further investigation using non gm auto repair shops, i found this problem was not only on the g6 but many of the gm vehicles from 2005 to 2009. I believe that gm should issue a recall immediately due the fuel leaking from tank and splattering onto the hot exhaust system.at this time i'm not aware of any deaths related to this problem but will continue my research.this is my 24 year old niece's car. I'm her uncle.
I have a gas odor coming from my car and was informed by my mechanic that there is a gas leak coming from the top of the gas tank . I could see when it was on the lift signs of leakage to the botom of the tank. When trying to start the car in the morning it cranks slightly longer but if i just turn the key on and wait a few seconds it seems to build up fuel pressure and cranks right up.
Strong raw fuel odor around and inside vehicle especially near fuel tank. The odor getting stronger each time vehicle is driven.
Strong smell of fuel when car is on and when car is parked. I was told fuel tank has a leak and needs to be replaced.
I bought a used 2009 pontiac g6 with 90,000 thousand miles on it. I have had it for a 1 year and 2 months before i started having problems. It all started message saying "check your gas cap". I would pull over and check gas cap it was vaporized. I opened and reclosed this was about 5 minutes from my house it takes 15 minutes to get to from house to town. Within 10 minutes my gas tank would wad up like a plastic bottle and when i would turn car off at work you could hear it un folding. This went on for 2 days then on the 2nd time my check engine came on i called and took to a dealership close to me. They told me it was the carbon canister it was going to cost 700.00 to fix. I did not have the money so i drove for a few weeks longer then my car was die when you go to stop at red lights or slow down. Both times semi trucks were behind me. The second time it did i called my husband crying said i was too scared to drive my car with me or my son in it.so i called the dealership where i bought the car and took to them to be fixed this was in september. They kept the car a week changed carbon filter and fixed speed cable this was making the car die. I got my car back drove from dealership and started to drive home when i noticed car still not fixed it was saying i had no gas so put gas in and it said i had 183 miles worth of gas by the time i got home i had 134 miles of gas left. I had called dealership to let them know that something was not right so in less then 24 hours took my car back to dealership and they kept it a week saying gas tank need to be replaced so they replaced it and replaced carbon filter again. Now the car works fine just wandering how long before it acts up again. I called pontiac headquarters in all this time and they told me there was no recall and that there was nothing that they can do to help with the problem because i did not have any warranty.
Started smelling fuel on exterior of the vehicle, most prominently near the gas tank. Took it to the dealership and found that the line connected to the fuel pump was corroding and fuel was leaking.they will have to replace the entire fuel pump module, as parts are not sold separately. The mechanic said that these are known issues with pontiacs.did a little digging and found that there were over 40,000 recalls on gm products with this same issue, however, for some reason the 2009 pontiac g6 did not make that list.apparently we need some more complaints to get gm to add the g6 to the recall list (as leaking fuel could be a fire hazard!!!!).
I have noticed a odd gas smell in my car around 60,000 miles. I thought it was the gas cap, so i replaced it and the smell persisted. I had my car diagnosed by both a gm and a firestone technicianand they concluded it was a cracked fuel pump. It seeps gas out under my vehicle and if there is an ignition source i could blow up and die. Knowing of the severity of driving the vehicle i am scared to death to drive it. I haven't driven it in 2 months since it has been diagnosed. My family didn't want me to drive home for thanksgiving because they feared my car would hurt me. The gm dealership did not offer to fix it for other than full costs even when there have been several similar models and the pontiac g5 also had a recall on the cracked fuel pump for 2009s. Gm uses the same parts in their cars especially the plastic part that is prone to crack in the fuel pump, so i don't know why they haven't recalled the cars yet. It started at 60,000 miles. It is atypical of a car to have a defect at that young of a age, it can't be due to normal wear and tear. I have contacted gm directly several times and they keep shutting me down and have even tried the dealership and all they want to do is make money off me and they don't realize this is a serious issue here and lives could be at stake.
Everytimeget gassmall is very bad like it has gas leak like other years have had.
I bought my 2009 pontiac g6 sedan brand new. I had problems with my car door locks within the first 6 months. My 3-year-old niece was in the back seat and both rear door locks actually locked open!so we weren't able to shut the doors and drive under "safe" conditions. I had to bungee-cord the doors locked and drive to the closest dealership. The locks had reset and the doors were able to close. Then in 2010, my driver side door locked shut on me!i wasn't able to get out of my car. After 2 hours the door locks reset. The same issue happened again to the rear door. This time, i was able to get an appointment with the dealership. The car was under warranty at the time. I told the dealership that i have been having issues with all the door locks and they said they can only fix the one since that was the only one with the problem at the time. In 2011, i had similar issues whether the doors were locked shut or locked open. Every time i would make an appointment, the locks would reset and the problem was left undiagnosed. In february 2013, my fiance had taken my vehicle to his local mechanic. The mechanic got locked inside my vehicle!then in may 2013, i was with my niece again and the rear doors and driver door locked open! i gave the car some time to reset, and the door unlatched and closed.but then it got locked shut! so i drove my car for 2 days with the doors locked shut. I had to crawl over the passenger side seat and enter/exit through the passenger side door. The dealership told me that the lock mechanism was broken and that it needed replaced for $400 each because it was out of warranty! so i called gm. They said the door locks were not recalled, the car was not under warranty, that it was my responsibility to pay for the repair. Pontiac is very well aware of the door lock issues, and so is- the mechanic. These are faulty locks!

The rear passenger door lock fails to open at times.some days it will unlock, others it will not.upon calling a few dealers i was told that it is the door lock actuator.as this is a safety feature, i feel it is a safety issue when it does not operate properly.i was also told it would cost ~$350 to fix.again, i feel that this is a safety issue that gm should be made aware of.the only way to unlock that door is to get in the car and reach across and pull the lock up, pulling on the door handle does not pop the lock.
I get in my car put the key in the ignition and start my car, i then put the car in drive and get going about 35/40 and the door locks start going up and down by them self.later that day i open my door and get in my car without the key in the ignition and the door locks start to go up and down again on there own.i have contacted the dealership i purchased the car from and they tell me my vin has no recalls.really ???this has been going on for a while with the back doors and now they all do it. , i think gm needs to fix this and they need to check all pontac g6's for all the recalls they have on these cars.

My brake lights stick or remain on even when they are not being pressed making it appear that im riding my brakes. I have been pulled over by the police once already. I have replaced the brake light switch twice and it works for a couple of days only. I have seen a recall in the 2005 and 2006 models but it is still occuring in the newer models. I have seen hundreds of blogs about this problem in this particular model of car. This is just an accident waiting to happen when your brake lights arent working correctly. As well as the car getting stuck in park.

I have a 2009 pontiac g6. When i first bought it i thought it was a gem after a few months my head lights would burn out a few times a month. After replacing them i noticed the actual wiring was melted. My passenger rear door won't lock or unlock. While driving through a storm my wipers stopped working. My wiper fluid won't come out only makes the sound. My power steering will turn off randomly. Stock radio stopped working. Now my break lights are acting up and won't light. My shifter also has been acting strange. Sometimes it won't shift. Blinkers blew outsame time as brake lights.this car is nothing but a hazard.
Back in april of 2014 my car started acting strange when getting at 30 mph. I noticed the rpm would get between 3 and 4. My automatic nor manual shift would go into second gear. If it did, i would almost get whiplash. I took it to a mechanic who replaced wire harness and two shift solenoids (sw). I then noticed during the summer my driver front head light doesn't work at all even after replacing the bulb. Again, in november of 2014 my car began repeating itself with the transmission problems. I took it to another mechanic and he said it's the solenoids. This is a danger to the driver and passengers because it'll stop going the way speed it needs to. I can't afford to keep putting money into something that keeps breaking down. Please help!! by the way, the driver side wiper sprayer stopped working.

Intermittent very hard up shifts (including changes from park-drive etc), cruise flys off and stops working while going down road, speedometer stops working and flickers randomly, car flashes "power steering" on radio panel and "error" on odometer read, hard turning, car loses power as it revs to realize it needs to shift (automatic transmission)initially, restarting car would help for awhile, but now the problem is consistent. Gm dealership could not diagnose problem and thought it was loose wiring. After not being able to trace the communication errors the dealership simply gave it back with no fix or answers. Major issue considering the car has only 36500 miles to date with an issue clearly other pontiac g6 owners have had to deal with as well.the inconsistent issue has contributed to a recent car accident.
G6 began to shift gears on its own in the middle of the highway leading to near accidents due to sudden stops or slow downs. Cars transmission locked in park and won't reverse. Car begins to reverse on its own in park but ends up catching itself back in park. Transmission seems to be set on park and won't change to go in reverse.also the power steering high pressure hose burst at random while driving straight, caused severe melting of various wires around it. Nearly lit the car on fire after causing the starter to catch fire from the power steering fluid getting inside of it.
Car started dragging - could not drive no more than 5 miles - transmission went out - would not go in reverse - no indication on computer of engine problem - read about similar recall on pontiac g6 for transmission problems - this incident happened around the same time recall put out on certain g6 - but not mine because of engine size - i do not understand why my vehicle did not fall under this recall - i spent a lot of money to replace it.....updated 10-27-15
I was driving up an incline on i-287 in nj when my rpm's skyrocketed and by car's check engine light came on and my traction control light as flashed.my car began losing speedand became hard to control due to a loss of traction.upon a visit to my mechanic it was found to be my catalytic converter.i have looked online and discovered the g6 from 04-10 have been known to experience this problem but yet gm has failed to make a recall.i would appreciate if you could look further into the situation.i was fortunate to be able to get my 4 way flashers on and avoid an accident narrowly.if my car had stalled like some of the other people i have read about who have had this problem it could have been fatal.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the transmission failed to properly function in second, third, and fifth gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer stated that there was no service campaign nor a manufacturer recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no solution. The failure mileage was unknown.
The transmission in my 2009 g6 failed without any warning. I was at an intersection and pulled onto a very busy road. After going about 200 feet, the engine revved, but the car was not "pulling". Other cars came up behind me very quickly and nearly caused an accident. There was no place for me to pull over, and there was a slight hill ahead of me.i "played" with the gas pedal to try to get the car's transmission to catch, all the while cars were practically pushing me. They probably thought that i had puled out and was just driving very slowly. They started to honk their horns. The car's transmission bucked and banged and i made it to the top of the hill, and over to a spot along side the road where i could pull over. The computer had put up two error codes of p0776 (control solenoid valve 2 stuck off), and p0700 (transmission control module requested mil illumination). I did a search online and found that this likely was a failure of the "3, 5, reverse plate" inside the transmission. This is a known defect with this particular car and transmission. General motors is aware of this defect and has even extended the warranty on this failure for 2007 to 2009 pontiac g6's for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles. I purchased my car new on 12/20/09, and it had 100,160 miles on it when this happened. I called gm (case #[xxx]) and they claimed that my transmission has a code of mh8. They said only transmissions with a build code of mh2, mh4, mh6, and my9 are covered. They told me that the transmissions are identical, but "more than likely someone was killed when this failure occurred in cars with those codes, and probably this wasn't the case for my code". They suggested that i contact nhtsa to file a complaint so that my transmission code could be covered, and get reimbursed. I did have this fixed. It was the 3, 5, reverse plate and it cost me $2442.38 (see attached). *lninformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

After shifting gears from reverse to drive in a parking lot, my car continued to roll backwards. After trying to shift to park, the shifter linkage became unattached to the transmission, and became unusable. The car rolled back after the shifter indicated that it was in park, but luckily there was another person to assist in moving the shifter linkage back onto the transmission system to allow the car to be put into park.
2009 pontiac g6 gt 3.5l v6 - on 09/23/11 when i put my car into park, the transmission was still in drive position. The shifter handle was loose and would not lock into p, r, n, d. Turned off the engine and could remove keys but when i tried to crank the car again it wouldn't crank. Had the car towed to a local dealer and they told me that the shifter cable was broken. Had the cable replaced along with a new bracket.on 07/24/12 (83600 miles) i am having the same problem again!! i called the same dealer and he told me that there is a 12 month or 12000 mile warranty on parts and labor but unfortunately i had already driven 22000 miles in the last 10 months.dealer said they could check my car on diagnostics to tell me what could be causing the problem for $90 per hour. I can't afford to pay for them to tell me just what is causing the problem. I searched 2009 recalls and found one for my car, saying that the shifter cable clip may not be in place and that it could cause the vehicle transmission to be in drive while the shifter is in park.sometimes my shifter had a little difficulty to get out of park position, like it was locked up.so what in the world is causing my shifter cable to break twice in a 10 month period?? is anyone else having the same problem as me??

When i went to put the car in park, all of a sudden there was no resistance in the shift lever, it moved back and forth freely in the casing.car would not go into park or any other gear. It broke in drive and would not restart. Had to use the emergency brake to keep it from rolling forward,had to have it towed . The dealer said we needed to replace the shift cable, and said the part was a g.m. Recall part. However, our car wasn't covered on the recall.i don't understand how a part can be recalled, but not all cars with the part are included in the recall, it just doesn't make any sense at all to me. I had to pay the g.m dealer$306. To have the car fixed. I really want my money back, i work hard for it,and this just isn't right. We did notify g.m. And they told us to notify you.thank you

The seatbelt light appears on the dash and the chimes occurs even when the seatbelt is engaged. This is a safety feature of the vehicle. The vehicle has 64,000 miles on it and this part should be working as it is required by the state and federal laws. This appears to be a manufacture defects and should be covered under the warranty.

Driving my pontiac g6 2009leaving a parking space in shopping centerdriving down islecar came across i tried to get out the way and hit parking lot lite pole.

The passenger seat airbag sensor does not sense an occupant and does not deactivate if the sensor is made. The car leaks water during rain storms profusely from drain lines connected to the body work under the headliner. The lines become disconnected at the joints due to poor design. Water leaks onto the seatbelts and curtain airbags. The floor behind the passenger seat becomes wet as well. In the past there was a recall for aftermarket seat upgrades in this car that were authorized by the manufacturer that cause this fault in the airbag sensor. The water leaking causes electrical malfunctions in the interior lighting on the headliner as well as it causes mold to grow in the carpet due to the water becoming stagnant. This particular car has many documented design faults that would cause water intrusion such as poor air conditioning drainage causes water to back up inside the car. As well as leaking from poor sunroof sealing. The vehicle leaks primarily when stationary. The airbag sensor malfunctions while the car in moving and when park is engaged.
While making a right turn, the front drivers seat track weld broke off causing the seat to shift in position losing height.
When adjusting the drivers power seat position adjusters, it tilts to the side when adjusting the seat and stays that way.
Yesterday, in the above-mentioned vehicle, i was making a left turn at about 25 miles per hour when the driver's seat and my body shifted abruptly and radically.i almost lost complete control of my car, but, fortunately, i avoided having an accident by braking to a quick stop.i immediately took the car to the car dealership where i had purchased it, sherwood delray beach, and had the service department examine the car for the problem.they diagnosed the problem and advised me that the seat base (anchor) was broken or otherwise defective and that had been the cause of the above described incident.i purchased the vehicle in april 2009 and the odometer is now approximately 32,500 miles.the vehicle has been used strictly for general light-duty personal use since it was purchased, has been meticulously maintained, and has not been in any accidents of any kind whatsoever.i know of no possible reason why this driver?s seat base/anchor has broken or otherwise failed other than it is defective.therefore, it is my belief that this is a bone fide safety defect in this model automobile which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death.accordingly, i am reporting this issue to you for you to investigate.updated ivoq 11/15/12
A weld on the frame which anchors the seat (driver's side) to the body of the car has broken, and the seat is loose and rocks.

The only thing we didn't check was the driver front seat. When i tried adjusting my seat upward the seat begins to lean side waystowards the middle console to the point its rubbing on it. I took it to the gm dealer they look at it and told me that the main metal bar frame is broken. That i needed a new replacement seat. They quoted me $1000.

I drive a pontiac g6 .. My brake lights just come on when ever they want. I have had it fixed by a dealer before , but can't afford to keep taking it back in. It has happen to my car 4 times in the last year. We have been using the a fix found on the internet but that doesn't work for long. As i drive 40 min. To and from work each day i fear that this is happening and could cause an accident . I also have seen many other g6's with the same problem while i'm driving. Please recall allfor everyone's safety.
When i press my brake pedal the lights go off but the rest of the time my lights are on (when i am not pressing the brake pedal) which has almost caused several accidents because the people behind me cannot tell when i am braking.it also causes me not to be able touse my cruise control because my cruise control thinks that i am hitting the brake which automatically turns off the cruise control.
I have been dealing with the issue of the service traction light coming on in my car, which will cause my cruise control to not work, and, my break lights to either stay on all the time, stay on while i'm driving, shut off while i break, or, just not come on at all. I have at the bcm module cleaned 3 times, this is only a temporary fix. I have completed the recall the gm finally did, this did not solve the issue either. I finally today had to get my entire bcm module replaced, and a very high cost! i think that the recall should have replaced these entirely, because, obviously what they are doing to fix the "recall" is not working!
I see that there is a recall for this very issue for years thru 2008. My brake lights are on when not braking and off when braking and of course the cruise control will not work during this issue. I see many complaints about this and i find it so hard to understand how this cannot be a safety issue and recalled to fix. I have almost been rearended many times and am wondering if someone has to be involved in a fatal accident before the nhsta forced the expansion of the recall to include all years that are having this issue.
Vehicle brake lights remain on except when brake pedal is pushed, then it goes out. This has not caused an accident yet, but it has high potential if a sudden stop is needed there will no warning for the vehicle following ours.
The solution gm has for recall #14v252000 does not work. The recall was fixed 9/2014 and on 10/31/15 the same problem was noticed.this has been noticed when the vehicle is in motion.brake lights come on when brakes are not applied, go off when brakes are applied.i brought vehicle into a chevy dealership on 11/09/15. They replaced a brake pedal position sensor.noticed on 11/09/15 in pm that the brake lights remain on and do not change when the brake is pressed. A service traction came on 11/10/15 and again on 11/17/15.i have not had an opportunity to drive behind the vehicle while this service traction light is on.i have taken a picture of the service traction light twice showing the mileage and time.i have read similar complaints regarding this nhtsa recall #14v252000 (gm recall #13036) on this website!i know this will not be taken care of unless a number of people die from an accident just like the ignition switch recall!!
I have 2009 pontiac g6 where my cruise was kicking off come to find out that my brake light come on without me touching the brake petal. The brake light just stay on until i push the petal and release it then there off for few seconds and pop back on.
A friend following me 09-21-2016 noticed my brake lights were on constantly. Driving home that night i could tell the brake light stayed on, unless i was applying the brake and they would go off.also cruise control would not work.made an appointmentwith the local gm dealership where the car was purchased new for 09-27-2016.dealership diagnosed car with a bad brake switch. Car was repaired and picked up on 09-30-2016 (brake switch replaced) cost 194.81.drove the car on a 300 mile trip on 10-13-2016. Traction warning light would come on intermittently and when the light was on cruise control would not work.also checked on brake lights and now they stay constantly. Traction warning light stays on constantly also now..the car did go on for the recall notice back in 2014. We were not experiencing any problems prior to the last couple of months.
My brake lights are intermittently staying on while driving even though i am not using the brake pedal. The scary part is that they shut off when you hit the pedal and then come back on about 5 seconds later. I saw on the web that there is a known problem with corrosion on the bcm connections. There was a recall for previous years and gm has issued a technical service bulletin on how to fix it because there have been so many problems and complaints. I am going to try a quick fix i found on the pontiac g6 forum before i have to take it to a dealer and spend my own moneyon an obvious defect.

My brake lights are staying on at all times, i have to pump the brakes before turning my car off or it kills the battery. This is a dangerous situation, one min i could step on the brakes and no brake lights come on...or they stay on the whole time.
I was driving down the road being followed by my wife who informed me that as i was driving down the road my brake lights were on but when i hit the brakes my brake lights went off. As days went by it continued to do the brake lighting fault when i noticed that attempting to set cruise control was quite difficult. I'm not sure about you but faulty brake lighting is a serious safety issue. To this day, june 30th 2014 the brake lights are still malfunctioning.

Unfortunately i have experienced about all of the issues that are being complained about on here. The light connectors melting and blowing the headlights, the electrical system messing up and frying 7 brains, the brake lights not working properly, the steering acting funny just to name a few, and although i have taken the car to the dealership several times since 2010 to have these issues worked on, i continue to have the problems.i think that it is ridiculous that car manufacturing companies are allowed to let these vehicles stay on the road without doing recalls on these dangerous and possibly fatal problems.for years i wanted one of these cars after they came out and now it has been the biggest waste of my time and money.but..that's ok!as soon as i have a wreck or something happens due to one of these problems i will be dialing up my lawyer!!!
Traction has been turned off and will not come back on with pressing the traction button. While braking the car pulls quickly to the left, it's really bad while on the highway at a great amount of speed. While braking to go around a curve the steering pulls the other direction then what your turning so you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel

I was pulled over by a police office for suspected i was drunk driving. He said it was because of my erratic brake lights. After that by watching the rear window light at night i realized that my brake lights are on with no pedal applied, off when i apply the brakes and on again when i apply them hard. I now realize because the cruise control only works with the lights are off that this problem has been on going since i bought the car used last year. I took it to a shop to get fixed and the repair only lasted less than two days before failing again.i've read on the internet that this may become a recall but 2009 wasn't listed as one of the years. My g6 coupe 2009 has the same problem as described on the 05 thru 08.
Brake lights stay on while vehicle is moving causing serious safety issue. I am afraid to drive the car fearing i will cause an accident and some one will be injured because of this obvious defect.
See nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 ; gm recall notice 13036 dated july 2014. I've been in two near rear end collisions due to brake light failure; i was pulled over by the police & told that my brake lights were staying lit while driving and then i was pulled over again & told that my brake lights were not lit up when i braking. I was able to show both officers the recall notice i received from gm & i was advised to get the problem fixed immediately as i was putting myself and others at risk of possible accident and injuries. While driving on the highway, the cruise control was enabled and would not disengage when i brake nor disengage when i pressed the on/off button.i had to cycle the key off/on in order to disengage the cruise control.other times, the cruise will not engage when on/off button is pressed.i am also having issues shifting from park to drive or reverse, also e.s.c. Isn't working as it should, nor the panic brake assist features.lights for e.s.c. Tcs randomly flash and flicker.all these are indications are consistent with the gm recall notice 13036.as stated before, i have almost been in two collisions and been pulled over twice.contacted gm five times - case #[xxx] on file. Gm stated that my car must be serviced by local dealership but will not cover costs.the local dealer wants diagnostic fees up front, which i cannot afford. Gm hasn't notified dealerships of the recall 13036 to date.do i need to be involved in an accident, harming myself and others, before this is addressed by gm? does there have to be loss of life to get gm to fix the known issues outlined in recall 13036?how can i rely on safe transportation until this is fixed?in closing, i seek assistance in addressing the blatant disregard of public safety that gm has shown to me and other customers.i would like to get my car fixed at no cost to me.

2009 pontiac g6. Requesting reimbursement for repairs due to recall. *taaccording to the repair invoice, the bcm shorted out. Recall #14v252000.
When traveling above about 10 mph the brake lights came on and the cruise control no longer worked.when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights went out until the car slowed to about 10 mph at which point the brake lights came back on.braking was normal at all times.when pulling away from the stop, the brake lights came back on again around 10 mph.the car consistently did this over a trip of about 60 miles.when i took the car into the dealer, the issue wasn't present.the dealer replaced the brake switch and lubricated a connection.the issue has returned 2 days later.this issue could become dangerous especially during braking above 10 mph when following vehicles would not be aware that the car was braking.
Ihave a 2009 pontiac g6 gt 4d. It is currently registered to my girlfriendvin#[xxx]. Due to the electrical and technical problems this car has given use so much problems. Especially at night. Well it has an automatic light turn on and i have notes thatthe back brakes will not turn on unless my foot is on the brake. It is very dangerous for me to be driving especially with children. I'vehad cars come from around us and tell us to turn on the lights it quit embarrassing. It ended up to whatever electrical problems it had caused the car to have engine problems to were the car was saying reduced engine problems we have spend lots of money trying to get this car running but if something was fixed something else went wrong i have change the computer that cost a lot of money it has got to the point now that the cars cadillac converter, and fuel injectors have gone out. I have attempted to get the cadillac converter fixed but the best thing i could do was get it hollowed out. Know it makes a loud noise. I haven't ran the car for about two years now because the cost of repair for this car is out of my budget.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Brake lights come on without application of brake pedal and do not come on when brake pedal is applied.recall 13036 has been applied...same problem seems to have resurfaced.can happen in motion or stationary; any road/driving conditions.
While operating vehicle, brake lights work the opposite of what they should.they are on when the pedal is not depressed and go off when the pedal is depressed. I spent ~$300 having the brake pedal position sensor diagnosed and it turns out that the bcm (body control module) has corrosion and required dielectric paste to correct the issue.approximately 14 months later the problem returned and i had a mechanic check for recall and he found a tech bulletin describing exactly this maintenance procedure.they performed it and the problem was corrected but this needs to be 100% corrected as someone is going to get killed.searching forums online i see that this problem is far more common that one would think and this should be addressed immediately.
Got pulled over for brake lights not acting when engaged, and viceversa. Officer noticed i was driving fine, but my lights were not.issues with steering, jerky motions at low speedcan't disengage parking or parking brake without braking engagedshift stick when changing to driveconstant steering and tire sensor service sensor
Brake lights would come on without depressing brake pedal and cruise would disengage. Dealer advised a pedal switch needed to be replaced to correct. Also need to have front rotors machined and back brake rotors replaced. Seems like low miles for the back brakes to need replacement (country/highway driving).
Brake light intermittent.illuminates when brakes are not applied or does not illuminate when brakes are applied.first occured 2013.dealer replaced brake light switch,.then again in june 2015.dealer relearned brake pedal switch position.occurred again this week.i have not returned to dealer for diagnostices.problem disappeared.this does to seem to happen when it is raining heavily.other drivers on road notified me when problem was occurring.
My brake lights keep staying on even when the brake pedal is not pressed. Went to the dealer and was told it is a common problem for pontiac g6s. Been to the dealer 3 times in less than a year to get it fixed they just keep replacing the switch but now they say something else is wrong wires corroded. The 2005 g6 had recall for the exact same problem but my 2009 g6 is not on the recall list, same car different year.
During my 12 mile commute to work, while about 3-4 miles away, my cruise control will disengage and the brake lights will illuminate, i'm guessing simultaneously.during this time the cruise control will not reset. I can depress the brake pedal slightly and the brake lights will go off. I can reset the cruise at this time. Within moments, however, the brake lights will come on and the cruise control will disengage again.i have read numerous other complaints similar in nature.
The contact owed a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated while his son was driving the vehicle approaching a stop sign, when he started to depress on the brake pedal, the vehicle jerked to turn left and crash into an oncoming vehicle on the opposite side of the road. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained a head injury on the right side of his head and seek medical attention at the emergency room, where he had 15 stitches inside and 10 stitches outside of his head. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The insurance adjuster deemed the vehicle a total loss. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 14v153000 (steering) however the vin was not included. The failure mileage was 202,000.
When i drive down the road it appears that i am pressing on the brakes when i really am not. Then when i press on the brakes, the lights do not go off. It's very dangerous. Also my cruise control goes on and off whenever it wants.i have looked up this problem online, and it happens to other owners of the pontiac g6 and there has not been a recall.
As i was driving around a curve another vehicle was on my lane heading the opposite direction as me so i turns quickly to avoid collision and i lost control of the brakes and wheels. Upon impact with a light post no air bags on my side came out.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the tail lights failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control) however, the repair failed to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
As i was traveling to work today, september 17th, a coworker was following me.when we arrived at work, he said that my brake lights were on the entire time he was behind me, about 4 miles.when i tapped my brakes to make the turn into our works parking lot, my coworker said the brake lights turned off and did not turn back on, even when i applied my brakes in the parking lot.i had the cruise control engaged during the 4 miles while doing 55.i had no issues with the cruise control.
2009 pontiac g6i got on the highway and tried to switch on the cruise control and it wouldn't work so i pulled over to the side of the road to see what's wrong. When i got out of my car i noticed that the brake lights were on so i went back and pressed the brakes then they turned off. I started driving again but soon as i turned on the cruise control it comes on but turns right back off. But if i hit the brakes the cruise control will work again for a second then turns right back off that's when i realized that the brake lights come on when i drive but when i hit the breaks they turn off. Im only writing this because my car doesn't have 100,000 miles yet and i saw that your company started an investigation regarding this issue. I would like to know how this can be fixed because it's not just on the highway it's happening now all the time. This can be a safety issue so i'd rather get this fixed now. Please help.thanks!
When driving vehicle brake lights remain illuminated constantly, when the brakes are not applied. Also cruise control is inoperative.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights would remain illuminated without having to engage the brakes. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 60,000.
My g6 was recalled last year because of a problem with the bcm.the problem caused loss of traction control, cruise control and the lights to malfunction.since my vehicle was fixed, i have experienced the same problem several times.a switch was replaced a few weeks ago and this took care of the problem temporarily.i am now being told the bcm needs to be replaced and will cost $800.the reason for the recall was "increased resistance in the bmc may result in voltage fluctuations".i do not understand why the recall did not include replacing the bcm.it is very scary and upsetting when the "service traction" warning appears while driving 70 mph on the interstate at night and not knowing if the brake lights are on or not.
Brake lights came on automatically and stayed on until brake pedal was pressed. Upon going out, they would come back on in under a minute. I have had this happen before about a year ago and was told by the same dealership the first time it was the sensor casing. It was resealed and problem stopped. This time i was told resistance in bcm connectors. They cleaned and lube the terminals in both bcm connectors and reset bpp sensor. Yet i was charged this time eventhough it was the same issue reported.the service dept rep said it was a different fix and therefore not the same. I know this must be a defect because i have read other with the same issue.
Brake lights come on intermittently causing cruise control to shut off. At the time, the only way to make the brake lights shut off was to step on the brake. Within the last week the brake lights are coming on more frequently and not shutting off at all. This can be a serious risk for accidents as anyone behind the vehicle believes the brakes are constantly being pressed.
While driving, cruise control will disengage and brake lights will flair on. Than when tap brakes, brake lights will shut off. Within a couple seconds, they will turn back on. When actually going to press on the brakes, have no brake lights than. This has also happened without using cruise control, just driving in general. Break lights will come on, than when press on the brake, they shut off. Couple seconds later, come back on. This is a huge safety issue while driving at night time(or during the daytime), not having brake lights when stopping. Do not feel safe driving with my children in the car. I have looked online, and found that i am not the only one having this issue: http://www.g6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6657 is a forum/thread of various g6 owners complaining about this issue and also believes they have come up with what the problem is. From what it sounds like, its a connector with the bcm (body control module) and it developing corrosion.
I had power steering lose about a yearago and then it just happened again yesterday. When i shut the car off it like resets and then it's fine i also had a friend of mine text me and told me that my brake lights were backwards when iwhen i was breaking the lights were off when i was driving and my brake lights were on. I have also always noticed that my car shifts weird sometimes when i'm passing it doesn't seem like i can get up to speed. I have also had trouble with my passenger front airbag sensor since i've had the car. I bought my car and 2010 it was only a year old with very few miles. Right now i only have about 81,000 miles on it. With all of my incidents with the power steering and brake lights i have been in town driving all were in motion. In town driving has probably been about 35 mile an hour i would never want to experience or have any of these on the highway.
In a accident
My 2009 pontiac g6 rear brake lights are working opposite of how intended.when the brakes are not applied the brake lights remain activated, when i depress the brake pedal the brake lights turn off.the cruise control is also inoperative, most likely linked to the brake light issue.i called the dealership where i purchased the vehicle new and was told that nothing would be done about the issue because the warranty was over.i asked for information on how to repair the issue myself and was told none was available.someone is going to get killed over this issue if fatalities have not already occurred.
My brakes lights do not operate correctly.they either stay on completely or don't come on at all.i have had this fixed already, and it is still a problem.while the brake lights are not working, my cruise control will also stop working.my traction control is also starting to come on now, at the same time as the brake lights malfunction.the tc light will ding, and it says service traction then proceeds to turn it off.
Clear day, dry, straight, flat road, no obstructions.saw 2 vehicles stopped at red light, well ahead of me. Removed foot from gas pedal for normal braking and stop.when applied brakes, they did not slow my car down.tried more pressure on brakes, but they were so "stiff", car still did not respond. When impact obvious, tried to steer toward clear lane on left to avoid straight-on impact. Thought might cause less injury to all and less damage.steering wheel would not move.struck the vehicle straight-on from rear at about 35 mph. Air bag deployed. Wearing seat belt.taken from car by emergency medical technicians, then by ambulance to hospital emergency room.several x-rays taken, plus either cat scan of head.told no bones broken, given shot of morphine and prescription for norco. Driven home and went to sleep.remember nothing of next day or fact i was given discharge instructions. Found yesterday and have made appointment to follow up with doctor for headaches, migraines, limited use of left hand, loss of words, thought and short term memory.other pain, i assume is from jolt of impact or "whiplash."
This is on my daughter's car.i was following her and i noticed she was driving with her foot on the brake.i motioned her to pull over and asked her why she had her foot on the brake.she said she was not driving with her foot on the brake.upon further investigation i found out the brake lights were staying on when the brake pedal was not depressed, but when she depressed the brake pedal the brake lights actually went off.this is an extremely unsafe condition.doing research online i have found many other pontiac g6 owners with the same problem.this needs to be addressed and fixed by gm.
Was driving and notice my brake lights were staying on even though i wasn't hitting the brakes at the time,then when i would apply the brake the lights went off when i let up on the brake lights would come back on if this problem keeps going on with this car it is going to cause someone to have a wreak and get hurt.i think the company needs to have a recall on this part before someone sues the company for wrongful death. I have read many complaints on this issue and its time for the company to make a recall on it.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated without the brakes being engaged. Also, the contact mentioend that the cruise control became inoperable.the contact was made aware of a 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 on the recall.the manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
My brake lights stay on constantly while my car is on and driving. The brake lights go off when i hit the hit brake pedal.
The door locks keep locking and unlocking on their own and now the back passanger door lock stopped working. My brake lights stay on when i'm driving and the bad light keeps coming on but my garage can't figure out why, they said there's no reason for it.
I had someone following me home the other day and when we arrived they asked me why i kept putting on my brakes and letting off. I was not touching the brakes. We cranked up the car and stood behind it and watched and the brake lights would come on and go off without anyone even sitting in the car. I got in and started pressing the brake pedal and when i pressed the pedal the lights would go off. When i let off of the pedal the lights would come on.that's when i started searching this issue and found all the other people out there that have had the same issues with their g6's. In my opinion and everyone else that has this problem, this is a major safety issue. My daughter drives this car and it makes me extremely worried that something could happen. How in the world can gm not be taking action to resolve this problem considering how much talk they advertised about the quality of the new g6?gm needs to stand up and do the right thing here before someone really gets hurt or dies due to an accident involving these brake lights.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond without warning. As a result, the contact crashed into a deer and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was taken to the a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brakes and the ignition needed to be replaced.

My 2009 pontiac g6 2.4l displayed power steering. It became manual steering. I turned the car off & restarted it. The power steering worked again. I was in a parking lot. I checked my cars invoices & the vin # check which said i had the work done. I also was driving in my driveway & the wheel would start to turn then lock up & snap back hurting my wrist. I was able to park it.
Was informed by coworker that when driving behind me, he noticed my brake lights were reversed (on when driving, turned off when braking). The problem seems to occur randomly, have not been able to identify whether certain conditions cause the problem. After noticing a recall issued for this problem, i visited the gm dealership, however i was informed that my vehicle does not have a recall for this issue. Not sure if gm is just slow at updating recalled vins in its system or if somehow my vehicle skirted by.
The brake lights on my car are on sporadically. They come on when the brake is not pressed. The brake lights do not come on when i press the brake either. This is a danger beacuse i have a long commute to work and i have no way of warning drivers when i am slowing down or stopping. The issue also causes my cruise control to malfunction.
I have a new 2009 pontiac g6 and the brakes squeak terribly.many mechanics have said this is dust causing this.i do not agree.there has to be something wrong.i have had many other vehicles and this does not happen.pontiac should be responsible for correcting this issue.it is a total nuisance.how do i know the brakes will not go out. They did not squeak when we test drove as if it did, i would have never made the purchase. I am very dissatisfied with this new car.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While drivingapproximately 35 mph, the brake lights illuminated without depressing the brake pedal.

I have a 2009 pontiiac g6. The front rotors warp and the whole front end shakes. I had them cut a couple times and i only got about 8000 miles before they warp again. So i bought new rotors and the same thing happened again.so its not the rotors its the way the car is built.

Electric power steering goes out intermittently.does not work about once out of every 4 time car is started.must shut off car and restart to have steering work.sometimes goes out randomly while driving, especially when stopped at a red light.steering wheel shakes when car is stopped or idle.
I took my car in to dealership because power steering alert had been appearing sparatically on info console. I never lost power steering. At my dealership they said that ithere was a recall for this issue, and that they would fix it. Four and a half hours later, they have taken my steering column apart and say they cannot put it together again until they have a new part for it. That was five days ago now and they tell me that they've replaced my torque sensor five times, but havn't been able to program it. So now they're telling me my steering column is broken and that i need to spend $625 for a new one. My steering column was not broken when i drove it into the dealership for an oil change and what i figured would be routine maintenance. If the torque sensor (recalled) requires a new steering column in order to be programmed, then that shouldn't that replacement be covered by the recall fulfillment?
Power steering stops working when driving and at idle the steering wheel jerks back and forth about a half an inch.
Vehicle was in motion on a residential city street when i lost power-assisted steering attempting to make a right turn after a full-stop at a stop sign. Suddenly, it required a great deal of effort to turn the steering wheel. Nhtsa campaign id no. 14v153000 exactly describes the condition experienced with my vehicle:"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." i did not receive a recall notice for my vehicle.
I will be driving and the power steering warning will come across the radio and it's hard to steer however if i pull over turn the car off and back on it goes away for a few minutes
Luckily, the car wasn't damaged besides a scratch to the side and dented rim, but only because i was going slowly.the power steering suddenly stopped working.while i was attempting to drive it to the dealer to be looked at it, the power steering tried to come back on, surged, and caused my car to swerve off of the road.it was extremely dangerous.pontiac/gm has not taken responsibility for it so far, even though other cars of the exact same make, model, and year have the exact same problem. If i had been going any faster, i could have been seriously hurt.

2009 pontiac g6- the electric power steering loss power while driving this vehicle on a highway at 50 mph and reverted into manual steering mode causing extreme difficulty controlling the vehicle in motion almost causing a severe accident. I researched the defect on the nhtsa website and found that the same year, make and model vehicles were included in a gm safety recall for the torque sensor assembly replacement which is what the necessary repair that is required for my vehicle.i called gm/pontiac 1-800-762-2737 reporting the issue and was told that the vin for vehicle was not included in the recall for the steering torque sensor that needs to be replaced.the product safety recall bulletin number for the eps loss of power referenced is 14116.
Vehicle steering stutters,clanks,clunks and has been in dealership for the problem.they replaced the power steering assist motor/module assembly and said it was covered by gm,and was told it was a common problem. After driving car it still did the same thing,now they want to charge us to diagnose the problem we took it in for to begin with.the (iss) intermediate steering shaft has also been replaced with factory gm part , which was also bad when 1st took in but they didn't point out.this has so far been a great car and now has over 144,000 miles and i realize there are gonna be problems with this much mileage , but the steering issue is really getting scary and still not fixed and i can't afford to keep replacing parts that aren't fixing it. Gm should've recalled this problem on my car as they did others and fixed it with no cost...
Power steering locks up when driving and vehicle becomes unturnable until car is shut off and turned back on.
Taking off to a slow roll without giving it any gas and turning right or left, the steering wheel is extremely difficult to turn. There is absolutely no power steering. It lasts as long until you you give it gas and then the power steering will start working again. While at a steady maintained speed on flat level ground and while at a steady maintained speed going up hill rpm between 2,000-2,500 , the vehicle begins to shake/buck/shudder/stall. Give it some gas and it begins to run smoothly again after about 3 seconds.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph the power steering suddenly malfunctioned making the steering wheel very difficult for the driver to turn. The contact indicated that prior to the malfunction occurring a chiming noise was activated inside the vehicle. After turning the engine off and back on the vehicle operated as normal before the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was caused by faulty wiring inside the steering column. The steering column was replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,000
Radio indicator display reads "power steering"; odometer reads "error"; speedometer does not function; vehicle enters low power state; vehicle manufacture date is 7/29/2008; nhtsa campaign number: 14v153000 covers similar issue but earlier manufacture dates.
I own a 2009 pontiac g6. Well, the door says it's a 2009, but when i enter the vin it comes back as a 2010. I have researched and found that my car was not included in the gm recall for the torque sensor assembly, which i find absurd. The power steering in my car keeps going out while i'm driving. I have almost crashed a number of times. This is a seriously dangerous defect. All the research i have done says gm is aware that this problem is affecting 2010's as well, yet they're not included in the recall. That is not fair. Why should i have to pay to fix a problem that is a recall on my gm vehicle, my vehicle just isn't included because my car was manufactured at the end of 2009, so it's considered a 2010. That is not fair. This problem is affecting hundreds of thousands of gm vehicles. They need to expand the recall to include 2010. This isn't some silly little thing that shouldn't be worried about. This is my steering. I could crash and die because they won't expand the recall. I really hope this is seen and something is done about this. I'm not the only one who is frustrated beyond words. It shouldn't be my responsibility. Gm messed up and should fix their problems in their vehicles. They should stand by their vehicles.
Faulty steering torque sensor.recall on year,make,model but doesnt include my vinnhtsa recall # 14v-153, gm bulletin 14116.while my wife was driving the carit made an alarm noise, then the steering became almost impossible to turn.she was able to bring my car to a stop on the shoulder without hitting anything.after staring and stoppingthe car multiple times, around 10 minutes later, the steering returned.i contacted gm and they opened a case # [xxx].they said to bring to the dealer and have it diagnosed.after paying $93 they said it was the steering torque sensor, which was a recalled item on a 2009 g6, but not my particular car.the dealer wanted over $750 to fix the problem.i disputed this to the dealer and they contacted gm who agreed to lower the cost to $250 which i disputed.now the car has no power steering at all.after trying to discuss this further with gm directly, the senior adviser told me my case was closed. I was told i agreed to the cost assistance which i didn't.i am waiting to hear back from a higher level gm adviser to solve this problem.after reading the nhtsa complaints about other 2009 g6 non recalled steering problems which are exactly the same problem as the recalled ones i feel this problem should be recalled and fixed before someone get hurt.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Power steering goes out exp when it is cold.goes out without warning.it makes the car extremely hard to drive.gm says tough luck due to my vin.the issue a recall for pr but only cover a fraction of the cars with problems. This has been happening for years and they do nothing about it.
Every time i'm turning slightly right my power steering goes off. It has done this on the highway and side streets. If i turn off car and turn it back on it resets and works again. I had the computer reset and after one day it failed again. I'm not sure if it's just the torque sensor, computer or steering column.

Takata recallwhile i am driving my 2009 pontiac g6 it will randomly ding at me saying power steering and my steering wheel locks up. I was turning across a major highway and the power steering shut off and i almost had a wreck. I never know when it is going to do it and it is very dangerous. The only way for the power steering to work again you have to turn the car off and back on.
I was driving home from school and at the intersection that i take everyday on a busy road (boulevard). When i tried to turn right at the intersection the steering wheel locked and the car went straight in the opposite lane where a semi truck was coming my way. If the semi didn't brake for me i wouldn't be alive today. It was icy and i somehow got myself back in my lane after using all my strength to turn the wheel. This was my closet to death experience to this day and i have not been in the car ever since then. The car has been parked since winter and has not only threatened my safety but has cost my pocket book a lot of money.i find it suspicious that the previous year models were recalled for electronic assist power steering failure yet my 2009 was not and is equipped with the same power steering option.i'm hoping you guys want to make it right as it would be simpler and less drama than a wrongful death law suit.
This initially occurred in november of 2013.mileage is estimated at 120000 miles at the time.one day while driving a message came on the dash that said power steering.although i was able to drive to my destination the force required to turn the wheel while the power assist is failing is massive.i am 6 ft tall and 200 pounds, and i have a difficult time making a turn or sharp curve when this happens.i took the car to the dealership and paid $700 or more to have it fixed.14 months later the same thing began to happen again and the steering wheel will twitch at idle.however the car stopped having the power steering failing all the time until 3/10/2015.with 167000 miles now on the car the replaced power steering is failing with regular frequency, every time i drive the power steering message is displayed and i have no assist.if anything the steering system fights you to prevent turning.also it seems as if the steering pinion jumps off a tooth when turning at a stop i hear a strange pinging noise and then the car pulls to whatever direction i turned to at the stop until i stop and turn back the opposite direction.all in all the original power steering module and the one i paid to replace the original one have both failed miserably and are a real danger on the roads.if i have a difficult time with the force required to turn the wheel when the steering fails i can't imagine what someone smaller than me will do if this happens.
When turning at slower speeds and tighter cornering a squeaking noise is heard from the steering column.also when pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the squeaking noise is heard. Had similar issue on 2003 pontiac. Seems they would have corrected it in 6 years.told by dealership on 2003 pontiac that it was grease pack issue and needed replacing. Very expensive to fix.
The power steering goes out while the vehicle is in motion without warning.an alert is surfaced on the digital readout and the steering light is illuminated on the dash.if the car is restarted, the system is fine.this has happened twice in traffic and is very dangerous.many similar complaints posted online.car has 131k miles.
Power steering is going out when it rains steering wheel gets stuck, several electric issues, temperature sensor is broken, only works when outdoor temperature is below 85 cause ac to blow hot air. When senors gets stuck engine light comes on
After starting the car on dry pavement in a parking lot the power steering failed and made it impossible to turn to get out of the parking stall. After trying to turn the steering wheel the power steering warning came on in the dashboard display.this made steering the car impossible. There is a recall out for this issue, but was not issued for my vin. This is a known problem which is extremely dangerous and gm should do what is necessary to ensure their vehicles are safe for the public to drive and be safe while others are driving them.
At low speed the electric power steering assist failed causing hard feedback to the steering wheel.when the system reengaged the car suddenly jolted in the direction of the turn.the defect has repeated on four occasions.took the vehicle to the dealer and paid for diagnosis and was informed that no errors were found and that this vehicle is not included in the current recall for similar issues in past vehicle models.decided to replace steering torque sensor at own expense since this is a significant safety issue.
The car was purchased in around 2012 and since has had power steering issues. The power steering went out at least once every couple months and when this happens the car would be shut off then turned back on and the problem was fixed. In the last two days the power steering shuts off every few miles while in motion on both city streets and on the highway. Would turn car off then back on and few miles later the power steering goes out. There are other recalls for the same issue, same year, make, and model. This is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of and the manufacturers should be paying for this issue.
Steering wheel started turning / shimmying by itself just when standing still, randomly. Started doing it while driving a few weeks later.shimmy/turning wheel happened more often as time passed, while parked, driving, backing up, driving surface streets and freeways,and now my power steering light is on!?!it turns loosly to the right and tight to the left. I am beyond perturbed, as this should have been recalled with other years this model was made that did have recalls.all gm offered was a $100 voucher to use toward diagnostic fee. They told me that any extended coverage i had that could have been covered with this repair/fix expired the beginning of the month, but maybe i could get a dearler-assisted repair??!?!i'm afraid to drive anywhere, let alone the freeways.i'd like to add, i only have just over 62k miles on this vehicle and have never had a car have steering failure, ever., let alone imagine this at such low mileage!i swear, that if they don't resolve this and fix itit'll be my last gm car.sad, after my dad poured his blood sweat and tears into this company for so many years.smh.maybe a class action lawsuit?how convenient to cut off a recall of this particular problem by manufacturing dates, when this recall wasn't even issued until 2014!!my mechanic is finding through his research that 'after market' parts are not necessarily fiixng the issue either. What the heck?!62k miles on a 10 year old carand i need a new car? this isn't right!
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving 40 mph, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the steering input sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
I put in a complaint about my g6 just the other day and the power steering fluctuating on and off and my steering wheel moving uncontrollably while in idle. I stated how i have an 18 month old and hate driving with her in the car because i was afraid the power steering would go out while driving. Unfortunately, that happened over the weekend. I was driving home and the power steering light came on and there was no more power steering assist. Fortunately i wasn't on curve or had to turn anytime soon. Being a petite woman, i barely had enough strength to pull over on the side of the road and wait for my husband to show up and drive it the rest of the way home. This is a serious safety issue and i'm fortunate that i was on a road that could have caused an accident. Why is my car not on a recall list? i want this fixed.
On day of incident...drove approx 6 miles before complete failure of power steering which occurred after accelerating from full stop (stop sign). Did not regain power steering function for 3 miles until engine was shut completely off and restarted.
The power steering just suddenly goes out and i get a message on radio that says power steering. I stop the car and kill the engine and it works again. Sometimes longer than others. It's a 2009 just hit 161k miles so not sure if it is even cover ed ny anything
While driving the steering wheel will lock up and the power steering notification will appear. If i turn the car off then back on, the steering wheel will unlock. This issue has occurred when the vehicle became stationary and in turning the wheel to turn and in driving. It has happened every where but the freeway/ highway.
Steering wheel twitches and shakes while in idle and while driving.power steering indicator illuminates when initially starting the vehicle and loss of power steering.sometimes after turning the vehicle off then on again, power steering will come back.loss of power steering happens while driving, and while idle.
While driving, power steering warning came on and wheel was hard to turn. Turning car off and back on fixed problem temporarily. But once i start driving the power steering goes out again.
On 2/19/15, approximately 9;00 pm, the power steering stopped operating. I was driving eastbound on pa741 in gap, pa. On 2/2/15, the steering shaft angle sensor was replaced. The power steering stopped operating 17 days later.
Power steering module went out at 95,939 miles---no recall/safety recall given to us.could have caused a major death accident as no steering .we were on highways and mountain curves just before it went out---gm refuses everything--the repair cost, happened while driving nearly causing a wreck.bill for repairs submitted to gm, local dealer and your department---we have case numbers---but no results nor decision--filled out form 100148--3/13/2020--ref #11317903
On 6/25/12 my car was making a whining noise when steering.dealership replaced steering gear and adjusted "front toe" and gear assembly. (according to the work order. ).on 8/27/15 i had to take my vehicle for repair due to a very loud whining sound.when i started the car that morning there was still the loud whining sound and a clunking sound.the repair was complete power steering rack & pinion.total repair bill was $929.44.in addition i have had to have two repairs to exhaust gasket.(one 4/25/15 and another one on 8/18/15).i am attaching all repair bills, title, etc for your review.
"takata recall"i bought my car from james corlew and was coming home parked it.next day i went outside to take it to the car wash going down a hill and when i turned my wheelmy car jumped all the lights and speedometer went off the radio flickered and and out and my car died mid driving down a hilli turned into the gas station down my hill and put it in park and turned itand to the off position. And started it back up and it came on finei took it back to my dealer and told him what was wrong with me and he just told me that it had an electrical jumpstart where it had been sitting for a long time. I week passes and i'm going to work park it.i get off and it's 9 o'clock and i'm turning onto a highway i pulled out and my car jumped again but it didn't shut off the power staring warning came on on my radio and the steering went out .i drove to the nearest gas station and put it in park and turned it off sat there for less than a minute and turned it back on and it was fine.it did it two more times while i was driving to school.i was tired of it happening so i took it back to my car lot and ask them if it had any recalls on it they told me no it only had one on the back taillight and the gearshift.so they acted like they couldn't do anything and i only had the car for two months now it's steering easy to the right but steeringhard to the left.and they say there's no recall on it but i looked up online that 2009 g6has recalls on it about the power steering but i haven't got no paper and the mail from gm i'm not paying for their mistakes. If i get into a wreck over itsomebody will get sued.because i let james corlew no three times and they all told me it was nothing.there was one previous owner so if it had a recall on itcould the paper have went to themon accident?
When first starting up the vehicle steering wheel is normal. Once putting the vehicle in gear, power steering warning lights comes on and the steering when is extremely hard to turn. Sometimes the steering wheel is okay to drive then while in drive, it will suddenly lock up causing the vehicle hard to control.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 30 mph, the power steering malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn. In addition, the headlights suddenly shut off. The light bulbs were replaced, but the failure recurred. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 100,000.
While driving down a city street and turning right down another street my dic flashed error message power steering. While nothing has happened as of yet on 12/26/2016, i have looked into the recalls regarding all other model years of the pontiac g6 with the electric power steering issue. It concerns me deeply. This is my wife's car and she drives it to work daily, takes our 17 year old to work, and drives our 4 and 10 year olds places too. I'm fearing for there lives knowing that at any moment the power steering could go out and cause a fatal accident. While knowing that almost all other g6's are covered under the recall except ours is very upsetting. I can not afford to take this to a gm dealer for them to fix this issue. I'm not necessarily looking for free parts and labor to fix this issue, but for the safety of me, my family, other g6 owners not on the recall, and other motorists on the road. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that it took numerous attempts to start the vehicle. While driving various speeds, the power steering warning indicator illuminated and the wheels shook violently, which made the vehicle difficult to control. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing the same failure as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 14v153000 (steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 110,000.
Whenever the vehicle is stationary or even in motion at low speeds, the steering locks up. The vehicle has to be turned off then back on in order for the steering to be released. There has been recalls on the same model and year vehicle as mines, but my vehicle by vin has not been affected by the recall. This is extremely dangerous and gm should recall all vehicles to have this issue resolved.my fiancee and children were in the car as she was backing up when the steering locked up. Another time she was turning the corner when the steering locked up. Please look into this because we can not afford the repairs and can not afford another vehicle.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the steering failed without warning.

I went to turn right into the parking lot at work and when i hit the brake the steering wheel wouldn't turn.i hit the brakes to avoid hitting the ditch and then the steering wheel turned.this has happened several times and it seems to be when i am trying to make a turn of some sort.
Power steering warning began coming on a few months ago on the display. The steering wheel would not turn when this would happen. The car would have to be shut off and restarted to get the warning to go away and the wheel to turn. Sometimes it took more than one attempt. At one point it took half an hour of restarting the car to get the power steering to work. I noticed when the car was in idle, the steering wheel would shake. One day, the problem just went away. Well, the other day, this started again, only it's been much worse.. The car has to be shut off and restarted several times. In idle, the steering wheel shakes so hard that it shakes the whole car.when driving, the car now jerks to the right and the steering wheel is hard to keep straight because of the shaking! i have been so afraid the power steering will go out when i'm driving. I have an 18 month old daughter that i hate putting into the car because if it does go out and i lose control, i don't want her to lose her life. I researched my car and found out my power steering is all electric. What should i do from here? i fear for my life & my child's every time i get in my vehicle. It shouldn't be that way.
When i start the car, occasionally the steering light will display and the steering wheel is locked.i turn the car off and start it again and then there is no problem.this does not happen every time i start it but it is a concern and there are some recalls concerning steering but i do not find my car listed.

When driving my car will loose all power steering and then a warning messages about the power steering comes on.if i shut car off and back on power steering is restored then the wheel shakes and it goes out again, research it and found a safety recall for the make, model and year that describes the exact issue i am have and when i contactpontiac or a gm dealer they tell me based on my vin i have no recalls. Gave pontiac nhtsa # 14v153000, gm# n140115 and bulletin # 14116 and they stated that there was no recall with those numbers. I should the recalls were issued on 3/31/2014
We lost power steering on my car . We have replaced the electric steering motor and the torque sensor . Still no luck still at the shop and their not sure what else to do .we also contacted gm and they gave us no help just that there was nothing that they could do for us.

The power steeringgoes out intermittently while driving. When it goes out, i must steer manually. It is very difficult especially when turning. It is difficult to stay in my lane.i have not had any accidents as of ye, but car is very difficult to control when this happens. After sitting for awhile,it is fine and power steering works again.it has happened before in years past but has not occurred in awhile so i thought it was a fluke. Now, it is happening more often.
My power steering was going out eratically and i would have to restart my vehicle to get it working again. Then it went out completely while driving. There are several videos online for the exact same issue with the same cars.
My vehicle was recalled last year due to a problem with the body control module.i brought my vehicle to a local gm dealer to be "fixed" and now my car is having the exact same problems as before: loss of cruise control, malfunctioning brake lights, loss of traction control, difficulty shifting gear out of park position.these problems began occurring in 2013.gm should have told customers that the "fix" was temporary, as i was almost rear-ended multiple times yesterday due to my brake lights malfunctioning.this is dangerous and someone could get injured or killed due to the issues with the brake lights.after receiving my recall notice and taking my car to be serviced, i thought i would never have to worry about this again.it turns out the mechanics at the gm dealer just cleaned the bcm and applied dielectric grease to it, which is what i had been doing before the recall even came up...it is insulting that they would consider this a "fix" and endanger their drivers, when they had to know that this would only help temporarily.it seems the entire bcm needs replaced to actually fix it, which is expensive.gm should cover the cost of this, as i know i am not the only driver having repeat issues after having the car "fixed" during the recall.my car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year), and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now).when i smack the headlights, they come back on.i see that other drivers are also having issues with their power steering and headlights, as well as with the bcm.i am disappointed that gm has not provided a permanent solution for these issues, and i do not always feel safe when driving this car.
Power steering no longer works and warning on it comes up on display. There is many complaints for this failure has been reported. My wife and i would not have bought this car if we would have been told about it ahead of time. Gm does have a recall on other models of similar vehicles. My would have been in a accident if she would have been driving at the time. She drives this car most of the time. I can understand a failure on a part with high mileage but they have been having issues with this part. I have driven many cars with hydraulic power steering with mileage much higher miles and never had a problem. The repair is very pricey to fix. I believe this problem is very dangerous and they are deceiving the public for not fixing it and reporting it to buyers.
My car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year)the power steering warning light illuminated. The failure recurred intermittently and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now). When i smack the headlights, they come back on. I do not always feel safe when driving this car.
The car has had significant electrical problems since its purchase. To summarize: i had an ignition fuse repaired in 2009 when the car turned off suddenly while i was driving.replaced a faulty headlight socket that was melted to the inside housing, have replaced an excessive number of light bulbs in the car, and have also had the power door locks fail. Most recently, remote ignition was not working, but was later fixed after a major repair last month to the power steering. I was driving the car when my power steering failed.had it towed to a local gm dealership, who said my power steering control module had to be replaced at a cost of $750 dollars.was aware of a recall for 2009 g-6's for power steering, but dealership seemed to have no information regarding recall.was told that my vin was not included in any recalls.contacted gm, who told us to wait for a new round of recall letters to be distributed.in the meantime, it takes 6 days for the repairs, and only after significant questioning did the dealer admit that parts were hard to find due to the recall. We asked the dealership to let us have the faulty part to pursue action from gm.dealer told us they had thrown parts away, despite this being against gm protocol.they located our part after we pushed them to investigate (car had been repaired that very morning, parts had not been thrown away), and assessed a $100 core charge.have been bounced back and forth between gm and dealer since, with no responsibility taken by either party.most recently, gm said they will not pay for reimbursement, and dealer said the parts they repaired were not recalled so they are not responsible either.as these parts are unlikely to break without cause, and don't need frequent servicing, it's clear that they are faulty. This is a major safety issue.gm needs to reexamine their recall.

As i was coming around a turn at my house, i lost all electrical it was like my car shut off. I was close to hitting a stop sign and a house on my street. I did go up the curb. I lost power steering so my steering wheel was harder to turn. Once i got the car stopped my vehicle came back on automatically.at 116,000 miles i drove to ripley and parked my car at work. When i went out to lunch my car would start, but wouldn't move forward. It would only go in reverse and roll backwards. I ended up replacing the transmission and some wires. I don't know if this could be a defect, but it only had 116,000 miles and they are supposed to last at least until 200,000.

While driving vehicle power steering assist quit on multiple occasions. This was corrected temporarily after shutting vehicle off and restarting it. I had at least a dozen episodes of this and it appears to be happening more frequently.this would occur at times when first attempting to drive and after i had slowed down to make a turn. I have not noticed it while at idle. I am concerned of this preventing me from steering in a critical situation. I am trying to use this car as least as possible until it is corrected.

The power steering in my car is incredibly bad. If i start my car, i cannot turn the wheel at all, it needs a large amount of force to turn. If i turn the car off and start it up again, its good as new...until i start driving. If i am driving to a place that takes 25 minutes, it will lock up atleast 3 to 4 times. This morning while turning onto the highway, it locked up and even when i tried to pull over and start it up again, it stayed locked.

The electric power steering system failed while driving the car on the highway at 65 miles per hour. After checking, i found that there is a recall concerning problem. Recall date 3/31/14 with the 2005-2009 pontiac g6.i contacted the gm representative at the 1800 number and was told that this recall doesn't pertain to the particular 09 g6 that i have purchased.
154k power steering is coming and going as of this morning. I understand there is a safety recall for this particular item. I am the second owner of this vehicle and was never notified.
There was a chime and "power steering" displayed on the dash, noticed an occasional loss of power steering. I called wickstrom chevrolet in roselle and i provided my vin number. They said it wasn't covered by the recall. I have relatively low mileage on my car and i'm experiencing a similar problem that the recall describes. I afraid this could lead to an accident while driving.
While driving car under normal conditions you lose power to the steering wheel making it hard to turn vehicle at low speeds. The only way to regain power to the steering control is to completely turn the car off and remove the key. This is very dangerous if you're in the middle of the road or on the highway.
My steering wheel keeps locking up while i am driving. Its been doing this but if i turn the car off and back on it will start back working. Now its locking up about every 5-10 min. My air bags light keeps coming on. My windows do not work and all of my car lights keep burning out
The power steer quit working. The brake lights stay on when driving but go off when the brake is applied and it blows headlights on the passenger side.
I was driving behind a vehicle who stopped suddenly and when i braked, a power steering message came across the radio and i was unable to turn my vehicle left or right. The car makes a clicking sound when the power steering locks up. It can lock up in the middle of driving or when starting my car.
Will start making a noise when driving .steering wheel will shake, here noise. Bad intermediate shaft.their are so many car with this problem their should bea recall for this.

Within a few minutes of me starting to drive, the wheel locked up again.

Power steering goes out recently while driving.once i turn off the car the electric steering assist resets and the power steering is fine for awhile while driving.then it goes out again.... And it occurs a majority of the time while turning.gm says the recall is vin number specific.i have the right year, make, and model.but, my vin number does not bring up a recall for the issue.i am not understanding.it is the same and a most dangerous issue that other 2009 pontiac g6's have.what if my son, who is learning to drive with his permit, was behind the wheel at the time? i think gm needs to look into adding a few more vin numbers to their recall list.i believe that reading others posts prior to mine shows this also... Especially needs to happen before something serious happens.
The power steering light came on and the power steering went out. I looked up and found that there was a recall on the power steering so i entered my vin number but my vin number wasn't included in the recall yet the problem with my car is the exact problem the recall was done for. Now my car is in the shop and i will have to pay for the repair out of pocket.
My power steering has been disabled numerous times now while driving. At first it would disable upon ignition. I at times restart 3x before it functions properly. Now it's going out while driving. Very dangerous! currently at 71,000 miles.i drive city streets and freeway to and from work.
I bought this car from drive time auto and after a month i heard a screeching noise in the steering as i turn the car.this has been going on now for 9 months and one month after i bought it. It is very annoying.
Power steering loss while driving had to shut the car off and restart has happened to me 3 times this week and srs pps problem
On 4/19/2016 while driving the car at around 35mph it started to drift left and when tried to correct the situation the steering was unresponsive as if locked up causing a collision with an on coming vehicle. The accident happened on a two lane straight city street on a clear day and nearly was a head on collision. The drivers side front received most of the damage. Windows shattered and airbags did deploy.

Dear nhtsa;i own a 2009 pontiac g6 that within the last week incurred a power steering failure. Recall research shows that on march 2014 the nhtsa required gm to issue a recall for this exact problem, however, it only covered the g6 models up to the year 2009 but not all 2009. The service advisor at the dealership acknowledged that the "problem" was very similar to the steering problem for earlier models that are subject to the recall. However, since not all of the 2009 model year was not included in the nhtsa recall, the cost to repair the problem falls to the consumer and is estimated to be in the $1,800 to $2,000 range. This is clearly a safety issue and mirrors the same characteristic's as earlier models included in the recall.i urge the nhtsa to re-visit the model years subject to the recall. The consumer should not be burdened with the cost of repairing what is obviously a design defect. Further and more importantly is safety for the passengers and other drivers on the road.i hope that the nhtsa will investigate this matter accordingly and amend the power steering recall to include all 2009 models. Thank you.
The power steering goes out intermittently while driving the car and only turns back on if the car is restarted. It has now happened to me coming from idle and while moving above 50mph on the freeway

Power steering fails at random times. Failure may occur while vehicle is parked or at any time vehicle is in motion at any speed. If ignition is turned off and then turned on this sometimes clears the problem and power steering works. This problem usually occurs 3 or 4 times in the first 15 minutes of travel. Failure occurs every time vehicle is used. This problem has existed for the last two years.
Multiple instances of loss of power steering. In all cases vehicle was driven out of the traffic lanes, parked and engine shut off. Power steering was eventually restored on restart. There was no obvious pattern to the loss of power steering. Vehicle was taken to authorized gm service center for repair. Diagnostics trouble code c0545 steering wheel torque input resulted in replacement of a faulty steering column, reprogramming and setup at a cost of $741.00. Similar power steering issues are mentioned in nhtsa campaign id number 14v153000 but the vin of my vehicle is not included in that recall.
Power steering goes out a few minutes upon driving and the wheel becomes hard to turn. Sometimes it will return for a brief moment when starting the car. Also the window washer pump is faulty causing no fluid to come out when pressed, which could lead to visibility problems in winter with all the sand and salt on the roads
Twice in the last 2 months my power steering has gone out in my 09 pontiacg6. Both times the power steering has gone out has happened while the vehicle was in use and making a turn. I notice that there was a recall for this issued in 2014, but my vin number is not included in that recall. I had to replace the pump in february of 2017, and am now on april 27 2017 having to take it back in due to power steering issues. I am unclear as to why the 09 pontiac g6 power steering recall did not extend to my vin number, but clearly there is an issue with my vehicle's power steering that is above and beyond normal wear for an 8 year old vehicle.
When operating vehicle power steering goes out while car is in motion on city street turning.
Steering pump continued problems.wasn't made aware as an owner that there was special coverage to replace these at manufacturers expense.it cause the modular to make it not respond to steering. As a customer we have fixed it twice because we didn't know about the problem that the car had steering. Disappointed because we were not made aware of that as owners like you do with your recalls.the dealership says it will be my expense @ 900$.that steering coverage for the ran out at 150,000 miles.it's not safe to drive.and can't afford another 900 to fix. Bad customer service on something that's safety.it broke again while transporting my grandchildren.again, this coverage to fix it was not brought to our attention until coverage ran out at 150,000 miles. You fixed the other 4 manufacturers recalls, and more importantly made the consumer aware, except with this steering safety (coverage) .it put my family at huge safety risk. Completely disappointed that you're not fixing it. Disappointed that you didn't send any notice of the safety recall or coverage (your words) before now or ever, we had to get it from the tech at the dealership .so i pick up a car and drive it home that has not been fixed and is unsafe because i can't afford $900 and your company will not cover it!so thank you for your serviceto a lifelong chevy customer..

Started car and power steering warning light came on and a chime sound and power steering was gone. When i researched found that many g6 models have been recalled with same problem. Repair will be for part in electrical model for power steering and part in steering column. When researched found many items regardingrecall on g6 models up to 2008 with exactly the same problems. Repair cost will run over $12000. My car is a 2009 with only 55,000 miles. I do not believe i should be having this problem with this low mileage.
Intermittent very hard up shifts (including changes from park-drive etc), cruise flys off and stops working while going down road, speedometer stops working and flickers randomly, car flashes "power steering" on radio panel and "error" on odometer read, hard turning, car loses power as it revs to realize it needs to shift (automatic transmission)initially, restarting car would help for awhile, but now the problem is consistent. Gm dealership could not diagnose problem and thought it was loose wiring. After not being able to trace the communication errors the dealership simply gave it back with no fix or answers. Major issue considering the car has only 36500 miles to date with an issue clearly other pontiac g6 owners have had to deal with as well.the inconsistent issue has contributed to a recent car accident.
I was driving my car, which is at 136000 miles, and i had stopped at a store and parked it. When i returned to the car, i turned the ignition and power steering came on the radio screen. I could not turn my wheel whatsoever. I turned the car back off and about 5 minutes later turned it on again and drove home just fine. I'm worried that it will go out again. It seems very unsafe.

Hi i have a problem i have a recall and the recall number is n140115 and it was for my power steering i have called pontiac and if told me it was just a special coverage with a limited warranty and i don't understand how that cannot be a recall and i feel like i should not have to pay for it, i almost crashed going into work because it went out on me, i get in my car turn it on and start driving down the street about half way to work and i go to turn and it got real hard and almost went into a ditch trying to turn, this is not safe and i need to get to work, i have tried talking to gm and pontiac but they would not help, it says recall not "special coverage"
I had power steering lose about a yearago and then it just happened again yesterday. When i shut the car off it like resets and then it's fine i also had a friend of mine text me and told me that my brake lights were backwards when iwhen i was breaking the lights were off when i was driving and my brake lights were on.

Right now i only have about 81,000 miles on it. With all of my incidents with the power steering and brake lights i have been in town driving all were in motion. In town driving has probably been about 35 mile an hour i would never want to experience or have any of these on the highway.
Steering locks up while driving every other day so i avoid the highway in fear of having an accident with my children if this was to happen. Very hard to control / steer the vehicle when this happened. Have to turn the car off and then start the car again to unlock the steering.

Recall numbers: 14e044000 and 14v153000 relate directly to issues i am having with my vehicle. I was told my vin was not identified as being a problem vehicle, but i feel like it is too much of a coincidence that i am having the exact same issues that are described in each recall. Please contact me at [xxx] for follow-up...1) power steering message pops up on radio when stationary and i can not turn my wheel..when i turn my car off and turn it back on the message goes away and i can turn my wheel - steering rack problem identifiedinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was turning into a convenient store parking lot to park and where the hood is caught on fire. I had to jump out immediately and a local grabbed a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. It then had to be towed to an automotive shop where i was told the power steering pressure line had a hole burn into it, the power steering pump was out and the rack and pinion needed replacement because the power steering was stiff.
Problems with my electric assist power steering it keeps going in and out i've almost wrecked several times because of it gm offer to recall but says my vin number doesn't cover the recall for the electric assist power steering for my car. My car was clearly effected by the problems with this part. It's a saftey issue and almost killed my self my son and my unborn child. I was driving down the highway when the pastor and decide to go out the first time and caused me to go overinto the oncoming traffic second time i was driving in the city and it did the same thing. Being pregnant with high risk pregnancy made steering my car almost impossible when the power steering goes out. The electric assist motor or power steering whatever you wanna call it is the worst thing gm ever did. It's probably caused a lot of people to get seriously hurt or killed even. And they won't cover my vehicle under there recall for this same problem
My power steering failed. Isn't on the power steering failure recall notice. The notice needs expanded.

My power steering just stopped working. The warning message came on and the chimes sounded.i now only have manual steering and it is extremely hard to turn. I know that there is a recall(s) out for this problem on other vehicles but for some reason not mine.it is very dangerous to drive but i have no choice. The dealer i bought the car from new said my car was not covered for this defect. I do not understand that.
While driving the power steering turns off. This is a hazard because it is startling and causes the steering wheel to get very tight making it difficult to steer. This can occur without warning. It continues to be like this until the car is turned off and back on. But occurs again at different times without warning.
The power steering has completely stopped working. For about a week, the power steering was intermittently acting up, when i would start the vehicle.

Driving down the road and power steering warning light came on and i had no power steering.
There is a recall on the steering column on pontiac g6's due to loss of power steering while i am driving. The recall number is #140115. I called a gm dealer to schedule to have it fixed and they are saying they don't have a recall for this but it is clearly recalled. I also see on the recall website that a lot of people are having the same problem. My car power steering goes out while driving and almost caused an accident. The wheel shakes bad while driving and makes a noise. It is clear that these part is defective and pontiac/gm dealers need to replace it not make me pay for a faulty part that they put in the car.

The power steering keeps going out when you make a turn not on the highway ( yet) but in town turning on to roads and and in parking lots.
Ive had alignments done but the car still pulls to one side. Does not drive straight or align with steering wheel. To drive straight my steering wheel must be turned to the right. It always pulls to one side and sometimes it will even jerk while driving. Passenger airbag will be off when passenger is in seat, and then sometimes will be on when noone is in the seat. The vehicle hydroplanes veey easily even with new tires on.
Since 2014, i have had an intermittent power steering loss issue.i have video evidence, which includes the mileage as well as the error message on the display and warning lights.the display will say service was service traction power steering.historically, the problem has only occurred while stopped, many times when the car is first turned on.the error usually clears after turning the car off and restarting. Today, it happened on the highway going 70mph. I have brought my car to gm dealerships in the past, but they could not recreate the problem.they will not use my video to help them diagnose. I was told the computer isn't storing a code so they can't do anything. After contacting gm again today, i was told there is a fix, but only if the dealership can diagnose. I'm frustrated. I have more than done my part. I have a baby that i put at risk everytime i put her in the car. Why is there no recall?why can't they use my videos, yes multiple videos from different days, when they can't recreate the problem?i do not have video from today because i was going highway speed. There are so many complaints about the issue. Do people need to die for them to do something?
Steering pump stoped working on this model when diving
I purchased car new in 2009 and have had problem after problem starting with exhaust system just weeks after i got it.it has had 3 recalls but i more are due.the headlights started going one after another and at one time all front lights were out at the same time.i had them repaired with new connector.currently, the left headlight is out again and a new headlamp and another connector was installed and still will not stay on.other owners i have spoken with have the same problems that i am having.but what can we do?i've been experiencing power steering going out occasionally for no apparent reason what so ever.there is a recall but my car is not covered under the recall although there were 2009 models that were.i was told my vin number wasn't included in the recall.the air bag alert stays on.i had it diagnosed along with the seat belt alert and both need to be replaced.the seat belt sensor module needs to be replaced in the passenger seat. My rear door locks don't work and that's electrical problem.i feel the car manufacturer knew these problems existed and should be held accountable for selling these death traps.with all these serious problems, i can't grasp why gm don't take responsibility for all this and get them off the rode. I and other motorists are not safe while i'm still driving this car.do the right thing gm and recall all 2009 pontiac g6 and make them safe.

I started the car as usual every morning. I put the shift in reverse and bagged up. I noticed it moved a bit to freely but i proceeded to backed out of my parking space when i went to put it in drive to go forward and take my feet off breaks it would not go forward. I had to hit the breaks because it started to roll back andhad my kids in my car. I then tried to put it in park and it would not go it would still roll. I then recalled this happening to my husband and having to take it to the dealer ship to get fixed with us paying almost $400 and apparently it not beingdone correctly. More to the point. It did not matter what gear the car was in it was stuck in reverse and i had to stick something behind it to keep it from rolling even after i got it into a parking spot. When i turned the car off it was no-longer able to crank and or shift. This is not the first or second time this has happened.
My eps keeps malfunctioning and i lose the ability to steer my car. I've done research on the recalls but, can not solve my problems. This is my only vehicle and i feels it's too dangerous to drive.
I purchased a pontiac g6 in september 2014. Since october 2014, the car has been pulling to the left and right, and the steering wheel has not been correcting itself to the normal postion. I have taken the car to the dealer 3 times and complained about this, and i have taken the car to other multiple places and they have not came to a conclusion. I got an alignment done and that has not corrected the issue. When i am going around a right turn the car catches and i manually need to turn the wheel. Going around a left turn it does the same thing. There is no code for the power steering.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver and the power steering warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v153000 (steering). The failure mileage was 85,000.
At times while driving there is a sudden loss of power steering, and other times when the vehicle is started there is already a loss of power steering.restarting the car will sometimes 'fix' the issue for a while, but usually after driving a few miles power steering will be lost.the issue has become constant. Tcm was previously replaced due to similar issues, but this was only 3 years ago.steering wheel also constantly shakes while in park or driving.
Rear passenger door will not lock/unlock. Heater on front passenger seat will not work. Tire service monitor comes on randomly. Cruise control works intermittently, but does not work more often than it does. Loud, rubbing noise coming from steering column when making turns. Low beam headlights work intermittently (got stopped by a policeman and warned of a citation the next time i would get stopped). I had one bulb changed. Two weeks later it went out, but the bulb was not burnt. Then, it started working again. A month or so later the other one went out. I had both wiring harnesses changed and new bulbs put in. Recently, i was told i had a burnt headlight (low beam again).i have been stopped on the interstate to be told that my brakes were flashing (while driving) and then they were working opposite of what they should be (brake lights on while driving and off while braking). I have seen other pontiac g6's with the same issue. This is a very dangerous issue in my opinion as i could easily be rear-ended due to faulty brakes.i have read similar issues by other pontiac g6 owners. Will recalls be issued for any of these issues? i am a single parent and do not have money to pour into this car so most of it stays broken!sad considering i paid over $26k for this car and still owe over $10,000, yet it's worth probably $7,000. I can't even sell it with these issues!!!i would love to travel, but i don't even feel safe in this car any longer.

Electronic steering shuts off while driving making steering impossible. If you shut the car off and restart the problem goes away. It does not show a service engine light when this happens. It's happened four times now, the last time it forced me to stop in the middle of the highway during high traffic. There is an open recall for this issue however, the dealer will not repair it. He said it has too many miles on it. It will be up to me to take care of the repair which will cost over $1500
Car would not steer-while driving it, almost got into a wreck, --the power steering control module had to be replaced---safety issue.called a man named [xxx] and he was to get back to me paying for my repairs.odi #11317903---ref [xxx], another number he gave me was 14v1563000.he was to email me with how to resolve .[xxx]====[xxx]---no notice received stating this was a safety issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving the electric power steering will randomly cut off without warning. This makes steering hard and almost impossible in some cases, depending on the driver. Also depending on if the vehicle is in a curve when the power steering quits, when this is the case it almost causes a wreck. This is very dangerous and keeps occurring. I have read lots of many other owners's accounts of experiencing the same thing. Sometimes you can stop the vehicle and turn it off and back on and it'll be okay but not always. This has happened lots on many different occasions. I'm going to put the first incident as the date of when it happened.

Twice, the power steering has given out in my car when i first start it. Simultaneously, "power steering" appears on the information panel. When this happens, it is nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel of the car at all. Both times i turned the car off because it was obviously undrivable. Out of desperation, i turned it back on; the information panel returned to it's regular display and the steering wheel returned to it's regular functionality. This has happened over the course of a few days. I did some research into these symptoms and found some very disturbing concerns. For one, this seems to have happened to a great many people in similar model years to my own car. For two, i'm seeing reports where this has happened to individuals as they were driving down the road. At least one person claims to have reported it and i find it hard to believe that i'm on my own here. I'm wondering if anyone has died from an accident caused by this? if so, would anyone even know since the problem is transient? i intend to have this matter investigated by a certified mechanic tomorrow. But, my real question is this: do people have to be killed before a recall will be issued? my kids lives are on the line with this car everyday, and this kind of problem is terrifying.
Driving on the highway, my car started to drift and i went to correct and the car flipped 4 times. I was unable to steer left or right, the steering locked up. There was a police officer right behind me when this happened, i did not get a ticket for anything. The car was totaled. The two passengers were taken to the emergency room and later released with minor injures. Now i am experiencing headaches and back pain and knee pain.
Takata recall shortly after i bought my 2009 pontiac g6 the words power steering in my car pops up on my dash which locks up my steering wheel as i'm driving there has been multiple times i've almost got in to accident luckily i new a little bit about computers and i found a way to drive it even with that bad malfunction which i'll have to turn my engine off reposition my steering wheel and turn it back on i call it reset basically this kinda tells the computer in the car that it's nothing wrong with the power steering and once i took it to get check out they said that it was fine that i should be ok well that was a lie i know i'm not the only one having this problem with my pontiac g6 2009 i am very concerned about my safety and my children safety i feel like this is a huge problem and if this doesn't get looked into somebody is going to get hurt real bad especially on the highway i stop driving my vehicle on the highway because i never know when the word power steering will pop up on my dash and i cant turn my steering wheel barely
While driving the vehicle on a city street ( where speeds are slow) the power steering indicator flashed on the dashboard and power steering failed to work. It was incredibly hard to turn the steering wheel and i almost turned the vehicle into oncoming traffic. The car has low mileage on it. When i took the car to the dealer, he said i needed to replace the power steering motor and the column had to be replaced with it. This appears to be a manufacture defect in the vehicle but again i had to pay out of pocket for the repairs. It was a costly repair.
2009 pontiac g6.consumer writes in regards to vehicle power steering issues.the consumer stated the steering wheel would lock up while driving down the road.the consumer stated the steering locking up, was a result of the steering torque input being defective.
Clear day, dry, straight, flat road, no obstructions.saw 2 vehicles stopped at red light, well ahead of me. Removed foot from gas pedal for normal braking and stop.when applied brakes, they did not slow my car down.tried more pressure on brakes, but they were so "stiff", car still did not respond. When impact obvious, tried to steer toward clear lane on left to avoid straight-on impact. Thought might cause less injury to all and less damage.steering wheel would not move.struck the vehicle straight-on from rear at about 35 mph. Air bag deployed. Wearing seat belt.taken from car by emergency medical technicians, then by ambulance to hospital emergency room.several x-rays taken, plus either cat scan of head.told no bones broken, given shot of morphine and prescription for norco. Driven home and went to sleep.remember nothing of next day or fact i was given discharge instructions. Found yesterday and have made appointment to follow up with doctor for headaches, migraines, limited use of left hand, loss of words, thought and short term memory.other pain, i assume is from jolt of impact or "whiplash."
My car is hard to turn it takes help of my little brother to turn the streeing wheel.i can drive over 30 miles per hour with out the steering wheel shanking.i went to two auto shop to have power steering fluid added and was to it was a recall in three power steering pump. I would like gm to replace my power streering pump so i can drive my can without the help of my brother because it is my only transportation.
I was stopped at a red light waiting to make a right turn, when i went to turn the power steering was gone.took to a garage, code c0545 was found, garage re-calibrated the system.then on 2/4/2012 the power steering went out completely again while attempting to turn around. The wheel is extremely difficult to turn, and vibrates when attempting to turn the steering wheel.the steering wheel on straight road has play in it also once the power steering is gone.this is an extremely scary situation, and my 16 year old daughter drives this car periodically.
While driving on the interstate at 70 mph i lost all power steering. I had to pull over on the side of the interstate and place the car in park and shut it off. Once i cycled power and started the car back up the power steering worked. I then started driving and the problem happened again. It happened a total of 5 times within 200 miles. This problem caused extremely hard steering at high and low speeds which put my family in danger along the interstate.

My car, when driving, will have the electric steering lock up. My steering will be locked and i can't turn it right or left. This happened to me on a feeder road, and i had to slam on the brakes and restart my car to reset the electronic steering. Luckily no cars were around me or i would of collided with them. This is very scary if i were to drive on a highway i probably would crash. This has happened to be twice so far. Another time i luckily was in a low speed parking garage when it happened. I recently went to 2 chevrolet dealerships. They said they would fix this for free because it was a recall. When i went into both they said the recall was expired and they would need to charge me. Please help me search if this is a recall because this is big issue with my car.

Power steering loss intermittently at times power steering light comes on if i turn the car off and restart the light gosout but the same power steering loss happens a few days later.happens at off ramps too while car is in motion
Theelectric power assist system has failed so that the power steering is spontaiasly disabled while driving. I have contacted general motors concerning this and the recall pertaining to this factory defect. Recall # 14v153000. Recall date is 3/21/2014. Another recall for this same issue is recall #n140115, bulletin #14119 (to provide eps motor for "the life of the vehicle". I have called the toll free number and spoke with their representative, and was told that they refuse to honor the recall and that i would have to have it repaired at my own expense. The unit went out while driving and almost caused an accident.
Brake lights are on when driving down the road and the foot is not on the brake andthen the brake light goes off when braking. Also the electronic power steering is not working sometimes when starting the car.i turn it off and restart and it works.it has also kicked off a couple of times when driving down the road.based on your website the issues are listed for the pontiac g6 saab and chevy malibu.but based on my vin # it's not included.in checking with gm they did the brake light recall back in 2014 on this car but the problem is back again and they show no recall on this vehicle for the power steering issue.the power steering is a real safety issue along with the proper functioning brake light.thank you for your attention on this matter.
I have had a recurring problem for the past 3 years, where the power steering, traction control and electronic stability control all atop working at the same time. I have sought assistance from gm.the dealership tells me the car isn't storing a code. I have provided them with pictures, but they choose not to help. The problem is a known problem on other years of the pontiac g6. Gm website says they fix the problem on a case by case basis. Picture and video proof mean nothing if the car isn't storing a code. Codes flash across display that say "check power steering " "service traction" "service esc".only way for me to clear is to shut off car and turn back on. All peer steering is lost when problem occurs. Although i've listed. Only one date, which was the most recent, the problem occurred in 1/2014, twice in 7/2014, 12/2016 and in 3/2017.
On sep 12th 2014 there was a fire in my 2009 pontiac g6. Luckily someone nearby had a fire extinguisher and put it out, and all occupants escaped unharmed. It is currently at a gm dealer in owing mills md, and they told me that their assessment is that the power steering hose somehow came to rest on the exhaust pipe or catalytic converter, or that the heat shield around the hose had broken. This then caused the power steering fluid to hit the exhaust system which then caused the fire. Another mechanic that i had it towed to before the dealer (i assumed going to the dealer to diagnose the cause of the problem was best) told me that he cannot believe that they would design the car so that the power steering hose would be so close to such hot parts--an insurance adjustor who say the car today also said that the replacement that the dealer has since put in is in the spot that it was designed for, but he too cannot believe how careless it was to design it there-i looked online and saw a number of other posts from people that had this exact problem-the resulting fire destroyed the air conditioner hose assembly, and the mechanic at the dealer told me it also damaged the evaporator line-he also told me that it is amazing that it was designed to be so tight to the exhaust system-thank god no one was hurt, and when the fire happened the car was being driven slowly in a neighborhood, instead of on the highway which it had just exited.
The steering failed 2 or so years ago, they replaced the motor and sensor under a service order from gm #15356 so they new there was a problem and did not want to get recalls involved. They gave a warranty to 150,000 miles the car has 155867 miles on it and they are saying sorry its not our problem, (#8-3849375898 current gm case #) even with all steering assist gone.
I was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me while i was on a highway something popped up on my radio saying power steering service esc i couldn't turn almost had accident
'stearing angle sensor recall' there is a recall on 2 door models and not the four door models. These vehicals have the exact same part on them that goes bad. Is there no safety issue because its a four door. If the steering component is bad it dose not matter how many doors the car has. I was driving down the road today and my electric power steering stopped working. This is a very dangerous situation.

At low speed the vehicle made a loud "pop" sound, which was immediately followed by smoke filling the interior via the air vents. The car was immediately shut off and the hood opened. The engine compartment was on fire with flames between the engine and fire wall. Upon putting the fire out it was found that the power steering fluid had leaked out of the car onto the exhaust manifold, resulting in melting the engine wiring and other components. The entire side of the car was sprayed with power steering fluid and the top of the fender had black soot from the fire. The hood pad and fire wall insulation showed large amounts of fire damage.
On 2/22/14 around 8:40 am, i was traveling to work. I had stopped at an intersection and was waiting for the left turn signal to turn green. When the turn signal turned greened i proceeded to turn; however, the steering wheel would not turn. I was in utter panic. I pulled as hard as i could and barely got it to turn in time to avoid hitting another car that was preparing to make the right turn and a pedestrian waiting on the curb to cross. I continued driving to stop from impeding traffic and tried to move the steering will but i had completely lost powering steering. I had to try and turn off a busy congested main street, when i did my car swung out really far due to lack of power steering. I'm just glad that i waited before turning or else i would have been hit by a city bus. I parked and called a tow truck and they towed my car toa gm dealership. When i asked if there was a recall because of the dangerous nature of the occurrence , the dealer said there was no recall on file for my vin so i had to pay over $750 for the repair.

Power steering shuts off at random while driving, affecting the ability to control direction of steering almost completely.
I was driving home from work on the highway and went to change lanes and my vehicle was difficult to steer. I had to pull over and have my car hauled home. I had a mechanic look at it and he informed me about a recall for the electronic power steering assist. I contacted dealership where i purchased it and they said it wasn't part of the recall for this defective part even though it matches the year, make, and model.
Power steering went out on my car while at a stop sign.the steering wheel just started shaking and i wasn't in driving motion.this is a know issue all over the internet regarding power steering failure with ponitac g6 2009.however there is no recall to fix this issue.i don't understand if gm is aware of the issue why won't they do a recall.gm produced unsafe cars!!because there's no recall i will have to have the car fixed on my own.i should expect a refund whenever gm decides to do a recall.
I have had issues in the past regarding electrical malfunctions with this car. My right headlight continues to go out even with me having it replaced time after time. I have taken my car in for diagnostics tests for maintenance of the car and they have come back saying the car is fine. Although when i go to drive it, somehow a light comes on. Examples include('esc system off' lights, 'service traction' lights, 'tc' off. The main issue that i am reporting just occurred two days ago. I was driving out of the walmart parking lot onto the main road and the light on my car appeared 'power steering off service esc' my steering wheel then stiffened up as i was turning onto the main road. There was a car turning right infront of me that i almost hit, because i lost control of my steering wheel. I then took my car into an auto repair shop where they informed me that this was something they could not fix because they don't have the parts and i would have to take it into a pontiac or a chevy dealership. This problem with the power steering being electrical is not safe and a recall needs to be done on this model as well. I use my car to commute to school and work everyday and this problem poses as not only a safety risk but a inconvenience to my everyday life. I would like something to be done about this issue. I have been researching this problem with pontiacs and i have noticed it's a reoccurring issue, these cars should not be sold to customers with all of these electricalproblems that continue to happen. I have to now pay out of pocket to not only have this car fixed but also for a rental car in the mean time. This is not fair for me as a customer of pontiac and i would like action to be taken. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving at 55 mph, the power steering warning light illuminated and the power steering failed.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,095.
I turned into the parking lot where i worked. Alarm sounded, power steering went out, difficult to steer the car. Radio displayed: power steering light.after work shift was done, power steering functioned. Carefully drove home. On route turned right onto to street, power steering went out & power steering light came on again. Swerved into turning lane: steering was to difficult. Fortunate no one was in the lane. Carefully drove home. Power steering came back in. Next day, called dealer ship & gm. Gm told me that there are three companies who made the electric power steering assist part for my model of g6 and that only one has been recalled. Even though i am having the same dangerous problem with my power steering, my vin has not been included in the recall because my part came from one of the other two manufacturers. Gm will not pay to have the part replaced. I'm driving my car, only when absolutely necessary, for very short distance to work, being very careful not to turn wheel too tightly, because the power steering assist has failed during turns. My concern is safety, the high cost of the repair and that other g6s & cars that are not under the recall, also have the defective electric power steering assist. The car is almost impossible to steer, even at low speeds, when the assist turns off. If this had happened to me while at a higher speed, i am sure i would have run into another car or off the road. I know i can't be the only 2009 g6 owner, not under the recall, having this power steering failure. I live alone. This is my only means of transportation. We are in a winter storm watch. Gm has opened a case # [xxx] and reported it to the dealership. I am supposed to call for an appointment. They will charge $55 just to "diagnose" the problem. I understand it is expensive to repair. Gm will not pay for the repair.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the steering would continuously fail sporadically and when first starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal noise from the engine area.the dealer replaced the threading in the steering column twice to no avail and the dealer never gave the contact a reason for the failure. The dealer also attempted to detect the engine noise but was unable to diagnose what was causing the noise. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 6 and the current mileage was 44,000.
I was pulling into a parking spot and my power steering went out. Restarted the car seemed to resolve it for a day or two. Now it happens several times. When contacted dealer about a recall, i was told mine was not covered under recall and they could fix it for $800. When it or if it becomes a recall i could be reimbursed. At this point i have no choice but to deal with it. It's my only car and don't have money for repair.
I was driving my 2009 pontiac g6 and was attempting to make a right hand turn from one street onto another, at which time i lost all power steering assistance and a chime went off with an indicator on dash. I proceeded to hit the curb damage my tire and rim. I turn ignition off and restart and it will work for a day or two and randomly turn off assist power steering.i have seen a recall for earlier model g5 for electric power steering failure, that does not cover g6. I believe it needs to be investigated to possibly extend the recall to 2009 g6.
As i was driving, my power steering assist was suddenly lost with no oncoming warning signs. My driver notification showed a notification of "power steering" after a chime sounded. This happened suddenly and has so far kept happening intermittedly. Gm did send me to a dealer to get the issue looked at. The dealer they recommended was not helpful at all. They did not document why i was there when we made the appointment on the phone, after the diagnostic test, the dealer would not give me any information as to the cause of problem or whether or not they felt it was in accordance with the recent recall. The dealer told me that i needed to have my steering column replaced and tried to get me to fork out over a grand for repairs on the spot. After having my usual mechanic look at the issue the following day, his opinion was that it was in accordance with the recall. My mechanic also said that the parts listed in the recall to be replaced, such as the torque convertor, are apart of the steering column. Gm has offered me no help in rectifying the issue and refuses to look into it further. The csr i spoke with was very rude and in a short sum of words basically told me that gm would not do anything about the issue even if i were to have multiple gm dealers find that my car in fact is affected by the recall. She also offered no concern about my safety as a driver and would not recognize that an oversight could have been made on at least one vehicle regarding this recall even though gm has reportedly oversighted improper manufacture of millions of vehicles. I feel that gm should be held responsible for the repairs my car needs on a part that does not need frequent servicing or does not suddenly break without cause.
Electric power steering recall from the same model year ( jan - aug). Loss of power steering, steering wheel shakes badly.driving down the road when it happens. Contacted gm and no help.
Dear nhtsa;i own a 2009 pontiac g6 that within the last week incurred a power steering failure. Recall research shows that on march 2014 the nhtsa required gm to issue a recall for this exact problem, however, it only covered the g6 models up to the year 2009, which my car was not included. The service advisor at the dealership acknowledged that the "problem" was very similar to the steering problem for earlier models that are subject to the recall. However, since the 2009 model year was not included in the nhtsa recall, the cost to repair the problem falls to the consumer and is estimated to be in the $1,800 to $2,000 range. This is clearly a safety issue and mirrors the same characteristic's as earlier models included in the recall. I have contacted gm regarding this matter and have been assured that a local customer service representative will be contacting me within 48 hours. While i appreciate gm's willingness to "consider" the matter, i urge the nhtsa to re-visit the model years subject to the recall. The consumer should not be burdened with the cost of repairing what is obviously a design defect. Further and more importantly is safety for the passengers and other drivers on the road.

Power steering goes out while driving
The power steering goes out intermittently while driving and i have to shut the car off in order to fix it. I had the power steering assist motor replaced but this did not solve the issue. While researching, i found a recall on this very issue although it does not come up when i put in my vehicle's vin number. It is recall nhtsa # 14v153000. Please let me know how i can get this issue fixed under this recall. I am fearful of driving my car as there is no warning of when this major safety issue is going to happen.

The electric power steering on the car has failed numerous times and illuminated a message on the display stating "power steering". When this happens, you lose all power steering assist which requires a significant amount of strength to maneuver the car. Gm has recalled many of the other vehicles around this model year, but this vin is not included in the recall. It is the exact same issue as previously recalled vehicles.
I was traveling 55 mph, i braked and slowed the vehicle to approximately 5-15 mph as i made a right hand turn into a gas station, as i was turning i heard a chime and the power steering went out and became very difficult to steer, and at the same time a message popped up on dash stating "service electric power steering" i pulled up to pump, turned vehicle off, filled fuel tank, restarted the vehicle and the power steering was working again. I researched online found that gm has recognized the issue and extended warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles. So i took to gm dealership, they ran vin informed me that the coverage expired december of 2018. So i called gm hotline at 800-762-2737 and they said same thing.i expressed my concern of it being a safety issue and that if my wife or daughter were driving they may have panic and gotten into an accident. They again said as of december 2018 there is nothing they will do about it. I feel that they have already admitted that there is an issue why are they not accountable for it ?
My 2009 pontiac g6 was in park. Started my car with remote starter and opened door with it. When i got in the alarm went off about my power steering. It was frozen and couldn't turn the steering wheel. It was undriveable. Luckily this didn't happen while i was on the highway. I had aaa tow it to my mechanic. Failed two codes c0460 and c0545 for the steering torque input sensor and the steering wheel sensor. The problem is intermittent and can freeze up any time while driving. Most likely need a new steering column. Estimate to fix around $700. This is a know problem on these cars that gm fails to recognize. It's quite a serious safety hazard that can happen a moments notice.
Power steering will fail to engage on start up of car 70% of the time and when it does it will stop working while traveling down the road 100% of the time.it will happen no matter what speed you are traveling. Some 2009 pontiac g6's are under gm recall 14v153000 but my vin number is not in the recall even while doing the exact thing the recall specifies.
Ok firstmy stereo was working fine then all of a sudden only the tweeters are working now and then jus last night the power steering messed up the light on my dash came on an can't barely steer it i'm not as worried about the stereo as i am the power steering so i was wondering is there a recall for that because that's dangerous and should of never happen could cause an accident
I became the recent owner of the above vehicle.there is a noise from the steering column and the power steering is slightly hard to turn.there are two recalls for power steering problems with this vehicle however chevrolet customer service says that there are no active recalls for the steering problems on this car.they gave me a reference #71-1410099624 for my call.this car is driven by college student daughter and i would not care for her to get stranded due to the steering power problem.i do not mind sending the car to a private mechanic, but i would rather take the car to a gm dealer if it qualifies for a recall.
Yesterday, my power steering locked up while backing the car. I shut the car off and restarted and the power steering began working. I called pontiac in regards to the steering recall and they stated that my vin did not indicate a recall for this issue. The same issue other cars same year as mine have been recalled for.it would be at my expense to correct. I don't understand why it isn't every manufactured 2009 pontiac g6 with eps.
When driving down the road my car will loose all power steering and then a light about the power steering comes on if i shut car off and back on power steering is restored then the wheel shakes and it goes out again this problem continues to happen and when it does i can't steer the car it needs fixed or it could cause accidents

I have a 2009 pontiac g6. When i first bought it i thought it was a gem after a few months my head lights would burn out a few times a month. After replacing them i noticed the actual wiring was melted. My passenger rear door won't lock or unlock. While driving through a storm my wipers stopped working. My wiper fluid won't come out only makes the sound. My power steering will turn off randomly. Stock radio stopped working. Now my break lights are acting up and won't light. My shifter also has been acting strange. Sometimes it won't shift. Blinkers blew outsame time as brake lights.this car is nothing but a hazard.
The power steering spontaneously failed while driving. I called gm to report this issue as it seems to be part of a previous recallassociated with this make and model. They stated that my car based on the vin number is not part of this recall. I was driving down the road and the car made a 'dinging' sound and the traction control light flashed on the dashboard. On my message center the words 'power steering' appeared and i had lost power steering to the steering column. The vehicle became extremely hard to maneuver at this point.
Loss of steering and steering message on display panel. Had vehicle looked at by gm certified garage. Garage was to replace steering column, but extended warranty company (equis) denied claim because it wasn't malfunctioning when they inspected the car. There is a prior recall notice for this issue on gm website, but gm claims this vehicle is not affected.
My vehicles air bags code showing on display.it stays on whether car is parked and running or while driving.i'm afraid i'll have an accident and the air bags won't work.i question whether they ever worked.i had a dog run out in front of my vehicle and couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting dog.damaged front on passenger side of car and air bags did not deploy. Now i'm driving on interstate highways, major metro streets, and i'm concerned for safety. I've found numerous complaints about air bags not deploying and major harm to drivers and passengers.i don't want to become a statistic.reports have been filed over a long range of years and i feel there's enough information to make the call for gm to recallthese vehicles and either replace the problem part(s) or buy back the vehicles.there are multiply problems with my car that i've had to have repairs made to make the vehicle functional.as an owner of this vehicle, i'm asking for help.

The passenger seat airbag sensor does not sense an occupant and does not deactivate if the sensor is made. The car leaks water during rain storms profusely from drain lines connected to the body work under the headliner. The lines become disconnected at the joints due to poor design. Water leaks onto the seatbelts and curtain airbags. The floor behind the passenger seat becomes wet as well. In the past there was a recall for aftermarket seat upgrades in this car that were authorized by the manufacturer that cause this fault in the airbag sensor. The water leaking causes electrical malfunctions in the interior lighting on the headliner as well as it causes mold to grow in the carpet due to the water becoming stagnant. This particular car has many documented design faults that would cause water intrusion such as poor air conditioning drainage causes water to back up inside the car. As well as leaking from poor sunroof sealing. The vehicle leaks primarily when stationary. The airbag sensor malfunctions while the car in moving and when park is engaged.

Gerald hornea & a automotive1620 state st.florence, al 35630 confidentialthis man sold me a 2009 pontiac g6 gxp that he bought at an auction that had been wrecked on july 17, 2017 for $6,000.he told me he would 'fix everything that needed fixing on the car to make it drivable and acceptable before i bought it,' even saying he would 'provide an oil change.'on july 17, 2017, he delivered car to my home. Car 'looked' pretty good except for the two back 'chrome' (he'd told me 'chrome' but they are plastic) rims. They were scratched really bad. My grandson checked the oil and it was quite low, dirty, and dark.i contacted mr. Horne and told him i was not happy with the scratched rims and that he needed to perform the oil change he had promised.he said he would replace the rims and perform the oil change. He picked up the car that day or the next day, which would have been july 18, 2017.on july 20, 2017, he delivered the car to the florence, al ymca where my grandson was playing basketball and my grandson drove the car to our home, which is close to downtown florence.[the rims were still the same. He said he could not find any more used rims and would have to order new ones. I told him ok. He has yet to provide those new rims.]we did not check the oil at this time, as horne had given his word the oil was changed at this time, but i do not know if the oil was changed or not, as he said it was. Remember, upon initial delivery, oil was checked and was quite low, dark, and very dirty.grandson then drove car with me in it to a gas station downtown so i could fill up gas tank. He then drove car to our home.around 5:00 p.m., he drove car to the florence mall. He left mall at approximately 9:00 p.m. Driving home, engine blew, no fault of grandson, almost got him killed by oncoming traffic, he had to swerve into oncoming lane.

When putting my 2009 pontiac g6 into park the key, sometimes, gets stuck in the cylinder lock and takes a long time to get it out similar to the issues gm is having with the chevrolet cobalt and other older vehicles. Because of this, it will not allow me lock the doors.in august, a gm employee submitted a claim on their help the customer website.i took it in but the dealer could not duplicate; therefore, gm would not fix it. When i saw the article in automotive news (http://www.autonews.com/article/20141211/oem/141219956/gm-offers-fix-on-small-car-ignitions-to-prevent-stuck-keys) indicating that there is a bulletin which gm is offering to repair customers' chevrolet cobalts and other older small cars to prevent keys from getting stuck in the ignition, i immediately re-opened my case (71_1341032883) with the gm executive office.on january 1, 2015, the key was stuck in the ignition three times (i documented the issue in a video). On january 2nd, i drove the vehicle to the dealership and the key came out.the dealer used a lubricant wd-40 hoping that would resolve the issue.gm says since it is not part of a recall or the bulletin indicate above, they will not fix it.i do not want to leave the vehicle unattended so i work the key until it comes out. Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes to get the key to release but i have been having luck in that area.i have been having this problem on/off for the last 6 years. Since the dealer cannot duplicate, gm will not fix it.are other g6 owners experiencing the same problem?could g6 pontiacs be included in this bulletin?
My neighbor who also owns a g6 was able to unlock my car with her key? how do i get this fixed?
My low beam passenger head light stopped working and i go to have it replaced and it still won't work. We have tested the bulbs and the sockets and they are fine. Can't seem to get it figured out anywhere!
Vehicle was in motion on a 45 mph street when power steering became inoperable with an alarm.sudden loss of control experienced, but no accident.turned off car and restarted and power steering became operable again. Got vehiclehome and next day tried starting and alarm came back on with no power steering.afraid to drive it and hope there is a recall in the works. Not safe!
Upon turning my car on earlier today i noticed my steering wheel is hardly moving and a "power steering" message is being displayed on my radio. The car is in good shape even though it has a lot of miles. I read that there have been a lot of issues with pontiac g6 steering wheel so i decided to file a complaint
My husband drives our 2009 pontiac g6. For about the last 6 months, we have to wiggle the key in the ignition, while wiggling the steering wheel, in order to be able to turn the key and start the car. I recently googled the problem and came across the gmignitionupdate.com website, as well as other websites with information regarding this recall. The june 2012 recall for sticky ignition switch includes the pontiac g5 but not the g6. How can we get the g6 included in that recall?up until now, i thought it was just a nuisance but after reading about all the issues with the ignition switches, and the deaths and injuries that have resulted, i'm a lot more concerned about continuing to use the car.
I purchased a 09 pontiac g6 on july 28th 2010 it had 46,000 miles 2 weeks after i bought itcuts off for no reason in the middle of the street and would not crank up it was towed to the dealership and kept it for 9 days and still would not crank they got it to crank and then lock the keys up while having it running cause the door unlock and lock on their own but didn't know why it cut off and would not crank. So i got it back 2 week later it cuts off again while driving and gave no sign it was going to cut off and would not crank so i am stuck in the road again stranded for an hour i get it crank take it back to the dealer ship they don't know what's wrong it cuts off again while driving. Take it back they don't know what's wrong and it cuts of about 6 to 8 more time while driving i take it to the dealer ship and they say the same thing and mind u these are all gm dealership and i used 3 different ones and they all say the same thing so it cuts off again i call gm myself and file a complaint they were no help and it stills cuts off til this day and it has an electrical problem as well cause the lights dim in and out when you turn on the air or heat or let the windows down or lock and unlock the doors . The engine runs rough and wheels sound like they about to come of while driving this is a bad car it looks good but drives bad and it not safe when the people who made it cant tell you why it cuts off while driving this very dangerous.
Constant fuel smell, after reading other issues it is my understanding the rubber hose on top of fuel pump is cracked and is emitting gas smell.safety issue and should be recalled.
My brake lights will come on when i am driving and will go off when i apply the brakes.also i will have warning lights come on randomly.same issues under nhtsa campaign number 14v252000.dealership has done recall work for this twice they told me and have charged me for the repairs and repairs to my warning lights as well and it is still not fixed.this happens everyday.
Transmission cable broke could not put car in gear, lock in drive
Traction has been turned off and will not come back on with pressing the traction button. While braking the car pulls quickly to the left, it's really bad while on the highway at a great amount of speed. While braking to go around a curve the steering pulls the other direction then what your turning so you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel
The clips that hold the transmission shift linkage have completely snapped. This is a known issue in 4 cyl models and should be extended to 6 cyl models. My car will not go in to park. It will not start. You can actually open the engine compartment and see that the linkage has play. This is incredibly dangerous. I'm thankful we live in a flat area. This is completely unacceptable and someone will end up hurt or dead because of it.
Transmission clutch is defective, when trying to back up, the car won't roll back, have to apply gas
I was driving my care and smelled something burning. I looked at mt temp and it was fine. The smoke star6coming from underneath the dash. I turned car off then flames started burning through dash and under the hood. This took place in my driveway
I have a 2009 pontiac g6 gt. Since the time that we have bought our car we have had nothing but problems with the passenger side headlight. We have replaced the pigtails and all the wiring. We replaced the bulb every few weeks for it to only burn out a few days later. No one can tell us whythis problem can not be fixed. There have been hundreds maybe thousand of complaints on online forums about headlight problems and even fire and melting of the housing. I am constantly pulled over due to the headlight being out. This is an extremely dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. Withoutproperly working headlights people are going to get seriously injured or kill someone because we can't see properly.
I just purchased this vehicle on 03/11/2020 and it is showing a error code and the and the speedometer stopped moving, and now it won't change gear's
2009 pontiac g6 low beam headlight failure: "unable to find the problem" as beams work intermittently; my local mechanic replaced left light bulb, but referred me back to dealership as "this was a known defect in this car."replaced light bulb (repaired (mechanic was unsure, but replaced anyway) and low beams worked a couple of days, now one (right more randomly left), and sometime both low beams fail intermittently. My wife has received one warning from police; headlight was working again when she restarted car after the warning. With increasing frequency both low beam head lights fail while driving at night. These random failures in low beam illumination requires the driver (my wife usually) to immediately switch on high beams.both high beam lights are working at this time, but these events tend to infuriate oncoming drivers who high beam back at us, so both drivers are blinded. In my opinion, this vehicle is unsafe to drive at any speed at night or in the rain due to random low beam headlight outages. Therefore, we use of the g6 is limited. Though we like the model and had hoped for several more years of use, my wife does not trust the lights will stay on at night, or when it rains. I feel bad about dumping this car on the used/pre-owned car market without filing some form of official complaint. From a brief internet search, the manufacturer (gm) appears to be ignoring this safety issue as a statistically insignificant problem. Sadly, gm will continue to do so until people die and a class action suit is filed. I would not call the pontiac g6 a lemon, it is just plain too scary to drive under certain conditions. There does not appear to be a solution coming from gm and my mechanic can't fix it. This situation makes this vehicle useless and unsafe half the time, i.e., unsafe at any speed after dark!
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated without the brakes being engaged. Also, the contact mentioend that the cruise control became inoperable.the contact was made aware of a 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 on the recall.the manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
While driving, the gas gage and mph needles dropped to zero and the car could not drive forward.there was also an "error" notice flashing on the dashboard.it lasted for a fraction ofsecond but kept doing it about every 20-30 seconds.i realized the theft protection light stayed on after startng the vehicle but when i went out yesterday the theft protection light was not on after starting the car.it came on suddenly while driving and i was unable to get the gas gage to work.it is lasting longer now also.i also noticed the traction control words showed up on the dash board this last time.conditions were clear and dry.i did read the manual and checked the fuse as recommended.the fuse looks fine and for one whole day after removing and replacing the fuse i did not have the problem but the next time i drove, it was much worse as i mentioned above.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the cruise control disengaged while it was set at 62 mph. The failure was experienced several times.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, however the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.the contact also stated that the brake light failed and was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the approximate failure and current mileage was 83,000.

2009 pontiac g6 gt sedan.intermittent problems with the following for the last year:brake lights come on when accelerating and turn off when braking (doing opposite of what they should be doing).cruise control and traction control system both keep going out.sometimes it's just the cruise control, other times the traction control system turns off first which in turn disables the cruise control.whenever the cruise control starts going out, the brake lights start malfunctioning soon after.i suspect this is an issue with the bcm (body control module).front drivers side headlight keeps going out, but the bulb isn't burned out.replaced bulb twice.if i smack the plastic headlight cover, the light comes back on.the wires don't look damaged, so i'm not sure what is causing the problem with the headlight.
I see that there is a recall for this very issue for years thru 2008. My brake lights are on when not braking and off when braking and of course the cruise control will not work during this issue. I see many complaints about this and i find it so hard to understand how this cannot be a safety issue and recalled to fix. I have almost been rearended many times and am wondering if someone has to be involved in a fatal accident before the nhsta forced the expansion of the recall to include all years that are having this issue.
Cruise control working and then all the sudden turns off and sometimes will not set unless you lift up on the brake pedal and/or after car has been turned off it seems to reset?!!
See nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 ; gm recall notice 13036 dated july 2014. I've been in two near rear end collisions due to brake light failure; i was pulled over by the police & told that my brake lights were staying lit while driving and then i was pulled over again & told that my brake lights were not lit up when i braking. I was able to show both officers the recall notice i received from gm & i was advised to get the problem fixed immediately as i was putting myself and others at risk of possible accident and injuries. While driving on the highway, the cruise control was enabled and would not disengage when i brake nor disengage when i pressed the on/off button.i had to cycle the key off/on in order to disengage the cruise control.other times, the cruise will not engage when on/off button is pressed.i am also having issues shifting from park to drive or reverse, also e.s.c. Isn't working as it should, nor the panic brake assist features.lights for e.s.c. Tcs randomly flash and flicker.all these are indications are consistent with the gm recall notice 13036.as stated before, i have almost been in two collisions and been pulled over twice.contacted gm five times - case #[xxx] on file. Gm stated that my car must be serviced by local dealership but will not cover costs.the local dealer wants diagnostic fees up front, which i cannot afford. Gm hasn't notified dealerships of the recall 13036 to date.do i need to be involved in an accident, harming myself and others, before this is addressed by gm? does there have to be loss of life to get gm to fix the known issues outlined in recall 13036?how can i rely on safe transportation until this is fixed?in closing, i seek assistance in addressing the blatant disregard of public safety that gm has shown to me and other customers.i would like to get my car fixed at no cost to me. Help!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Brake lights come on and off by themselves while driving also speed control shuts off by itself , nearly caused a wreck when someone told me i was driving with my foot on the brake which i don't.
2009 pontiac g6. Requesting reimbursement for repairs due to recall. *taaccording to the repair invoice, the bcm shorted out. Recall #14v252000.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving 45 mph, the service traction and service abs. Traction control, esc andstability control warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000. Updated 07/12/16*ljupdated 08/03/16.
While driving, cruise control will disengage and brake lights will flair on. Than when tap brakes, brake lights will shut off. Within a couple seconds, they will turn back on. When actually going to press on the brakes, have no brake lights than. This has also happened without using cruise control, just driving in general. Break lights will come on, than when press on the brake, they shut off. Couple seconds later, come back on. This is a huge safety issue while driving at night time(or during the daytime), not having brake lights when stopping. Do not feel safe driving with my children in the car. I have looked online, and found that i am not the only one having this issue: http://www.g6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6657 is a forum/thread of various g6 owners complaining about this issue and also believes they have come up with what the problem is. From what it sounds like, its a connector with the bcm (body control module) and it developing corrosion.
I purchased this car in summer 2013. It was fine for a couple months then the cruise control started going out and the esc and traction control would code at the same time. I searched on the internet and found the gm service bulletin that said to remove the connectors from the computer and apply dialectic grease due to corrosion. This would work 30 to 60 days then i would have to apply more grease. Before christmas i was driving home at night and noticed that my brake lights were stuck on. I found that this would often happen at the same time that the other problems would code and other times the brake lights would just come on. I have applied grease several times this winter and it doesn't work anymore. The esc and traction control code at random times, and the cruise control becomes inoperable. The air bag light is now on and stays on. These are all annoying but the issue that scares me is the brake lights coming on at random times when i don't touch the brake pedal. That is obviously unsafe and i would hope that gm would step up and fix it. They wouldn't have issued the service bulletin if they didn't know there was a problem, and the dealership i purchased it from had smeared the connectors heavy with grease so they must have read the service bulletin too.
Tail lights continue to stay on.the traction control says it needs to be serviced.the cruise control does not work.same as earlier model g6's.same as #08-05-22-009a.
My 2009 pontiac g6 rear brake lights are working opposite of how intended.when the brakes are not applied the brake lights remain activated, when i depress the brake pedal the brake lights turn off.the cruise control is also inoperative, most likely linked to the brake light issue.i called the dealership where i purchased the vehicle new and was told that nothing would be done about the issue because the warranty was over.i asked for information on how to repair the issue myself and was told none was available.someone is going to get killed over this issue if fatalities have not already occurred.
I have been dealing with the issue of the service traction light coming on in my car, which will cause my cruise control to not work, and, my break lights to either stay on all the time, stay on while i'm driving, shut off while i break, or, just not come on at all. I have at the bcm module cleaned 3 times, this is only a temporary fix. I have completed the recall the gm finally did, this did not solve the issue either. I finally today had to get my entire bcm module replaced, and a very high cost! i think that the recall should have replaced these entirely, because, obviously what they are doing to fix the "recall" is not working!
When i press my brake pedal the lights go off but the rest of the time my lights are on (when i am not pressing the brake pedal) which has almost caused several accidents because the people behind me cannot tell when i am braking.it also causes me not to be able touse my cruise control because my cruise control thinks that i am hitting the brake which automatically turns off the cruise control.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact statedwhile driving 55 mph, the passenger and driver door locks failed to function properly. The vehicle decelerated without any warning on several separate occasions. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

2009 pontiac g6. Consumersent in repair invoice. *tarecall # 14v252000.
My brakes lights do not operate correctly.they either stay on completely or don't come on at all.i have had this fixed already, and it is still a problem.while the brake lights are not working, my cruise control will also stop working.my traction control is also starting to come on now, at the same time as the brake lights malfunction.the tc light will ding, and it says service traction then proceeds to turn it off.
During my 12 mile commute to work, while about 3-4 miles away, my cruise control will disengage and the brake lights will illuminate, i'm guessing simultaneously.during this time the cruise control will not reset. I can depress the brake pedal slightly and the brake lights will go off. I can reset the cruise at this time. Within moments, however, the brake lights will come on and the cruise control will disengage again.i have read numerous other complaints similar in nature.
When traveling above about 10 mph the brake lights came on and the cruise control no longer worked.when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights went out until the car slowed to about 10 mph at which point the brake lights came back on.braking was normal at all times.when pulling away from the stop, the brake lights came back on again around 10 mph.the car consistently did this over a trip of about 60 miles.when i took the car into the dealer, the issue wasn't present.the dealer replaced the brake switch and lubricated a connection.the issue has returned 2 days later.this issue could become dangerous especially during braking above 10 mph when following vehicles would not be aware that the car was braking.
2009 pontiac g6i got on the highway and tried to switch on the cruise control and it wouldn't work so i pulled over to the side of the road to see what's wrong. When i got out of my car i noticed that the brake lights were on so i went back and pressed the brakes then they turned off. I started driving again but soon as i turned on the cruise control it comes on but turns right back off. But if i hit the brakes the cruise control will work again for a second then turns right back off that's when i realized that the brake lights come on when i drive but when i hit the breaks they turn off. Im only writing this because my car doesn't have 100,000 miles yet and i saw that your company started an investigation regarding this issue. I would like to know how this can be fixed because it's not just on the highway it's happening now all the time. This can be a safety issue so i'd rather get this fixed now. Please help.thanks!
1.when driving with the cruise control on it will turn off for no reason. 2. When the car is on the driver's seat gets really warm and the seat is not on. 3. The traction controller coming on while driving.
My vehicle was recalled last year due to a problem with the body control module.i brought my vehicle to a local gm dealer to be "fixed" and now my car is having the exact same problems as before: loss of cruise control, malfunctioning brake lights, loss of traction control, difficulty shifting gear out of park position.these problems began occurring in 2013.gm should have told customers that the "fix" was temporary, as i was almost rear-ended multiple times yesterday due to my brake lights malfunctioning.this is dangerous and someone could get injured or killed due to the issues with the brake lights.after receiving my recall notice and taking my car to be serviced, i thought i would never have to worry about this again.it turns out the mechanics at the gm dealer just cleaned the bcm and applied dielectric grease to it, which is what i had been doing before the recall even came up...it is insulting that they would consider this a "fix" and endanger their drivers, when they had to know that this would only help temporarily.it seems the entire bcm needs replaced to actually fix it, which is expensive.gm should cover the cost of this, as i know i am not the only driver having repeat issues after having the car "fixed" during the recall.my car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year), and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now).when i smack the headlights, they come back on.i see that other drivers are also having issues with their power steering and headlights, as well as with the bcm.i am disappointed that gm has not provided a permanent solution for these issues, and i do not always feel safe when driving this car.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights erroneously illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the brake lights failed to illuminate while decelerating and the cruise control failed to activate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000. The vin was unavailable.
A friend following me 09-21-2016 noticed my brake lights were on constantly. Driving home that night i could tell the brake light stayed on, unless i was applying the brake and they would go off.also cruise control would not work.made an appointmentwith the local gm dealership where the car was purchased new for 09-27-2016.dealership diagnosed car with a bad brake switch. Car was repaired and picked up on 09-30-2016 (brake switch replaced) cost 194.81.drove the car on a 300 mile trip on 10-13-2016. Traction warning light would come on intermittently and when the light was on cruise control would not work.also checked on brake lights and now they stay constantly. Traction warning light stays on constantly also now..the car did go on for the recall notice back in 2014. We were not experiencing any problems prior to the last couple of months.
I noticed that the cruise control was not working, soon after that someone told me that my brake lights are on most of the time, only going off occasionally.i have tested it, and you can put the car in park and watch the lights go from off to on with out touching the break petal. (they stay on) i am going to take it in for service tomorrow. I have found out this is not an uncommon problem. This should be a recall issue. I know this problem is under investigation. There are tons of complaints.
Brake lights would come on without depressing brake pedal and cruise would disengage. Dealer advised a pedal switch needed to be replaced to correct. Also need to have front rotors machined and back brake rotors replaced. Seems like low miles for the back brakes to need replacement (country/highway driving).
The cruise control will work and then in the middle of driving it quits. This seems to be related to the brake lights not working properly. Also, seems related to these two messages some time coming on:"service traction" and "service esc."
When i press on the brakes the brake lights don't come on and when i'm not pressing on the brake lights they are on. This seems to be connected to the cruise also kicking off at the same time.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving at approximately 65 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. The contact observed that the passenger side window rolled down without being prompted or a warning. The failure recurred continuously as the contact drove. The contact stated that the window unlocked, the alarm system disengaged, and the battery drained. The vehicle needed to be jumpstarted. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the body control module and the door window actuator failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 70 mph in light rainy weather conditions, the windshield wipers failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the windshield wiper transmission fractured. The vehicle was repaired. Prior to the vehicle being repaired, the windshield wiper blades were replaced because an unusual noise was heard whenever the wipers were activated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000. Updated 07/28/16*lj
Issues with low beam headlights randomly going out then coming back on at first for a couple of months, then went out completely. Replaced bulbs (low beam) with same problems. Finally found that the low beam light sockets (primarily passenger side) were arcing and shorting out causing bulbs not to work. Recall should be issued to have gm remedy this problem. This is a chronic problem with this line of cars!
The wipers failed to work. But after 10-15 minutes of the vehicle operating they began to then work. Sometimes the wipers would work with the washers and high speed only. When the wipers were left on and the car was parked, the battery drained and was dead the next morning. Then the engine on two occasions attempted to start itself when sitting and not on. On one occasion it successfully started itself. On several occasions the interior dome light stayed on.
Power steering goes out a few minutes upon driving and the wheel becomes hard to turn. Sometimes it will return for a brief moment when starting the car. Also the window washer pump is faulty causing no fluid to come out when pressed, which could lead to visibility problems in winter with all the sand and salt on the roads
The contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact observed that the passenger side headlight failed intermittently without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (perrysburg automall located on 26875 n dixie hwy, perrysburg, oh, 43551) where it was diagnosed that a new front passenger side headlight socket was needed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair cost. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.updated 08/22/17*lj
My rear window is opaque.it is due to the material that holds the antenna on the rear window becomming cloudy.i almost had a wreck looking out the back window.at dusk, i could not see the oncoming gray car travelling at a high rate of speed.i took my car to the dealership (now bohn buick) and they told me they had no responsibility to fix this problem because it is a 2009.what do you think.
My eps keeps malfunctioning and i lose the ability to steer my car. I've done research on the recalls but, can not solve my problems. This is my only vehicle and i feels it's too dangerous to drive.
Takata recall shortly after i bought my 2009 pontiac g6 the words power steering in my car pops up on my dash which locks up my steering wheel as i'm driving there has been multiple times i've almost got in to accident luckily i new a little bit about computers and i found a way to drive it even with that bad malfunction which i'll have to turn my engine off reposition my steering wheel and turn it back on i call it reset basically this kinda tells the computer in the car that it's nothing wrong with the power steering and once i took it to get check out they said that it was fine that i should be ok well that was a lie i know i'm not the only one having this problem with my pontiac g6 2009 i am very concerned about my safety and my children safety i feel like this is a huge problem and if this doesn't get looked into somebody is going to get hurt real bad especially on the highway i stop driving my vehicle on the highway because i never know when the word power steering will pop up on my dash and i cant turn my steering wheel barely
Traction has been turned off and will not come back on with pressing the traction button. While braking the car pulls quickly to the left, it's really bad while on the highway at a great amount of speed. While braking to go around a curve the steering pulls the other direction then what your turning so you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel
1.when driving with the cruise control on it will turn off for no reason. 2. When the car is on the driver's seat gets really warm and the seat is not on. 3. The traction controller coming on while driving.
Vehicle has approximately 50000. Since approximately 35000 miles, the lugs on the front passenger side wheel have came loose, for no apparent reason causing the vehicle to shake at around 25mph.
As i was driving around a curve another vehicle was on my lane heading the opposite direction as me so i turns quickly to avoid collision and i lost control of the brakes and wheels. Upon impact with a light post no air bags on my side came out.
I have had a recurring problem for the past 3 years, where the power steering, traction control and electronic stability control all atop working at the same time. I have sought assistance from gm.the dealership tells me the car isn't storing a code. I have provided them with pictures, but they choose not to help. The problem is a known problem on other years of the pontiac g6. Gm website says they fix the problem on a case by case basis. Picture and video proof mean nothing if the car isn't storing a code. Codes flash across display that say "check power steering " "service traction" "service esc".only way for me to clear is to shut off car and turn back on. All peer steering is lost when problem occurs. Although i've listed. Only one date, which was the most recent, the problem occurred in 1/2014, twice in 7/2014, 12/2016 and in 3/2017.
Ive had alignments done but the car still pulls to one side. Does not drive straight or align with steering wheel. To drive straight my steering wheel must be turned to the right. It always pulls to one side and sometimes it will even jerk while driving. Passenger airbag will be off when passenger is in seat, and then sometimes will be on when noone is in the seat. The vehicle hydroplanes veey easily even with new tires on.
I have wanted one of these cars since they first come out before i bought it, but now i hate it!! i have replaced the hubs 4 times on one side and twice on the other, thank goodness the first time the left side was replaced it was covered by a warranty, i called gm someone was suppose to get back with me but of chorus i've heard nothing,also have replaced headlights numerous times and wiring harness once because it was fried. This car has been nothing but trouble since i got it, i will be buying another car soon and it won't be a gm or pontiac i promise you that!!
2009 pontiac g6,, lost control when the left rear wheel separated from the vehicle.unit 1 went off the rightside of the roadway and struck a guardrail. According to the police report, the lug bolt studs had sheared off. ( ohio traffic crash report # 10-0679-91)updated 01/14/11
