2006 Pontiac G6 seats problems

Filed Oct 18, 2024 · Electrical, Lights · OH

I have had to get 3 new keys made for this car due to the security light coming on, sometimes it will not crank or start, so I have replaced the starter twice, have replaced relays and fuses, and the security light will come on while drive down the road and all gauges drop to zero, even the gas light says empty and every light on the dash comes on. But the car will still drive. But once you turn it off it will not start for a few hours! It’s impossible to find parts for Pontiac anymore so everything has to be ordered! This should’ve been recalled a long time ago!

Service air bag message appears frequently and passenger airbag is disabled, even if a person is sitting in the passenger seat. I understand there is a recall for this in vehicles with aftermarket leather seats, but since my vehicle has factory leather seats, I believe the problem may extend to vehicles with factory leather seats as well. This has been happening for years, but I only recently realized that the passenger airbag is disabled when the message appears and am now concerned about the safety of anyone sitting in the passenger seat.

As I was exiting on to an off ramp the steering locked up and I lost control momentarily at the same time not being able to slow down. The car eventually spun out and slowed down on its own. Then I waited and started it back up and it went.

Smoke came from passenger seat, inside the car while driving. Most probably a seat heater malfunction. Is a big safety risk as my 3 year old son was in the car. Car is 2006 pontiac g6 gtp.

Seat tracks holding seats on pontiac g6's bolts & tracks rusted through & gm & dealer will not do anything about it. We think this should be recalled. This could cause a major problem if the bolt breaks off in an accident.
