1. Loss of power assisted steering making it hard to control car. But I turn off car and turn back on, it works. 2. Steering column knuckle or u-joints are making a loud clunking noise when turning steering wheel. 3. BCM or Body Control Mudule is either bad or needs cleaning because cruise control nor traction controls work. I checked fuses and they are ok.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. The contact stated that there were several failures that randomly progressed upon purchasing the vehicle from a private seller. Due to the various failures, the vehicle was unable to pass state inspection. The vehicle was taken to four different independent mechanics, but a permanent remedy could not be provided to prevent the failures. The various mechanics replaced the throttle body, spark plugs, air flow sensor, and battery; however, the failures continued.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and it diagnosed that the master computer and the struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

Driving on way home from work, whole trip nothing over 45 MPH, the traction control off light came on and stayed on. Its the light with tc and a slash trough it. The light turns off when the car is in park or neutral but comes on when shifter is in reverse or drive. After the light came on I noticed extremely sluggish engine performance, extremely hard shifting all the way through 4th gear with bad slams coming from the transmission. After about 30 mins of driving with the light still on, the check engine light comes on and I can barely get going from a stop light. I parked it for the night to work on it the next day, and to my surprise the next morning the tc off light was gone and after about 10 mins of driving the check engine light goes out and the car runs and drives like normal. The next day it all happened over again with all the same issues and then the warning lights went out again and the car ran fine. Then for a third day it all happened again and now the engine seems to have no power, I might as well be pushing the car down the street. This happened in the middle of my drives on a normal no wet weather day. The dealership and a private garage tried reading the codes through the connector under my stearing wheel and no bodies reader can connect to the ecu. I checked all the fuses and relays and none are blown or damaged. I know the g6 had recalls for this issue a few years ago and my car wasn't included in this but it sounds like the same issue. I can get under the car and look for any melted wires or ground faults but I wouldnt know where to begin. Looking online there are thousands of people experiencing this same exact issue. Tc off light coming on and check engine light coming on with an expensive repair or no solution available. This is causing my vehicle to have little to no acceleration and really spotty shifting. It happens everyday at random times.

My vehicle was recently taken to the dealership for a recalled part (brake lamp malfunction) and my vehicle is still locking up. After fixing the recalled part I have purchased a battery, a caliber, starter, and two hubs. My car is still not working it will function for a couple of miles perfectly, and then it returns to the same problems. First it will not gear up the car will be on drive and it will take a couple of minutes to catch, then the car will lock up and not be able to move. So I will have to get a tow service because the ABS system will lock the car and I cannot push it to a safe area.
