Tl* the contact owns a 2005 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the suspension was unstable and the vehicle was wobbling in the front and on both sides. An independent mechanic replaced the front passenger side ball joint, but the failure intermittently progressed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

I already fixed my front suspension three times already. It seems that this a factory defect. I never had an issue with this so many times in any previous vehicle. I have been left stranded for this reason. I also have issue with the electronic power steering for this vehicle. It gets really hard making it dangerous while driving because it is almost impossible to turn or steer the vehicle while driving.

We own a 05 pontiac g6. This vehicle has a chronic issue with the brake pedal sensor. When the sensor is having issues, it is extremely hard to get the car to go from park to drive. More importantly though is then the sensor causes the brake light to work in reverse. When you apply the brakes, the lights go off, when the pedal is not depressed, the light stays on. We have had several sensors replaced and now have been told the "fix" is the electrical lubricant. This electrical lubricant is only good for a few months. Obviously, it is a half[xxx] "fix". We have been to several "former" pontiac dealers only to have been told we are "out of luck". This is an extremely dangerous situation. While driving at night, if you depress your brakes and no lights come on it could lead to a rear-end collision.thankfully this last time my husband was warned of this event by a gal who was driving behind him. My husband has been pulled over by the police because they thought he was drinking. He was told that a characteristic of a drunk driver is that they "ride their brakes". Gm needs to get this corrected!! It is not safe. We purchased this vehicle for my husband who drives 50 miles round trip to work everyday. This is an accident waiting to happen. We are seriously contemplating trading in the vehicle for another one because of this and other issues with the g6. It has been a lemon since we got it between this brake issue, a "clunking" noise when turning (which we were told is "nothing" from our former pontiac dealers) and the panoramic sunroof leaking and noise issues, which as well we were told nothing can be done about. (we had standing water in the vehicle w/ the leaks) this brake issue needs to be looked at!!!! We will not buy another gm vehicle because of this crappy service and lack of care in getting this vehicle recalled. What is it going to take??? I have seen other complaints addressing this same thing. I would implore the federal safety agency to see what can be done about this. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom

Power steering light comes on and I lost power steering to the vehicle. Steering was very hard. Vehicle pulls hard to the left without any reason. I took it to the gm dealer 5 times to do an alignment but failed to fix the problem. Still pulls to the left as before. None of the dealers I went to knows what the problem is. I am concerned. 2005 pontiac g6 gt 71,000 miles.

I purchased a pontiac g6 from a dealer in palmdale, ca in 2004. Problems have been as follows: 1. Won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 12/14/05. 2. New tires @20,998 miles due to alignment problems. 3. Won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 3/27/07. 4. Won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 11/02/07 5. Won't hold alignment - pulls to left - in shop 9/05/08 6. New tires @ 41,753 miles due to alignment problems- 4/24/09 7. New rotors, drums and brakes - 4/24/09 8. Alignment - pulls to left - swapped front tires - 8/02/09 8. Alignment and new rear brakes - 8/29/09 9. Alignment - pulls to left - in shop 9/15/09 the list of parts & labor have been extensive and I am on my 3rd set of tires and currently only have 48k on my car. The tires only lasted for 20k miles!!! I've had a total of 6 alignments and countless rotations and nothing works. I have also been through 2 sets of brakes and rotors in this time period as well. When I blogged about this issue there are a lot of other folks having the same problems with this make and model. I contacted the bbb auto line and they said my complaint is not within their jurisdiction. I contacted pontiac / gmc and they said they can not help me. The car is dangerous to drive and hopefully it won't take an accident for someone to realize that the car is a lemon and unsafe.

I have a 2005 pontiac g6 and everytime I turn my wheel there is a loud clunking noise from the front of the car. A lot of these problems could be linked to the electric power assist steering. I have heard some people have lost all steering while driving. The steering is very loose and feels like you are all over the road.

3 incidents of car skidding, sliding and doing a 360 when driving in the snow. 1st time, thought it needed new tires. 2nd time had gotten new tires, but thought it needed a slight alignment. Both incidents occurring while turning. 3rd incident, had gotten tires and alignment and driving slowly down a straight path when slid into the other lane with me having no control, thankfully no cars were coming, but did a complete 360 turn.
