What 2006 Pontiac G6 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The electronic stability control has failed, due to sway bar links are worn out and causing wheels to vigorously wobble causing the Eps input circuit to shut down the system to avoid overloading the circuit and burning up the module , I believe the recall hasn't been fixed , Can you please consider the issue as dangerous and repair my car ... I am not trying to say this but I am homeless and dependent on the car for shelter as well as transportation... Please note don't use last statement to show sympathy on me ... I am doing ok today, Thank you, have a blessed day
Steering wheel just keeps shaking real bad and I the power steering goes in and out all the time
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.
The steering almost gave out and making noise. The whole steering electric system needs to be replaced.
The vehicle vibrates in a certain pattern when above 55 MPH on the highway, no one seems to be able to figure out what is causing it. All 4 struts are new, sway bar bushings, sway bar links, control arms both upper and lower, all brake rotors are new. Cannot get the problem diagnosed by anyone because they cannot find out what it is. Also the check engine light turns on and off (code given is for running lean) but no mechanic or dealership have found why it's happening. One dealership even told me it could be the cars ecu. So they told me to verify if my car had any recalls. Please, any help about this is greatly appreciated this problem has been going on for over a month now (today's date 5/9/19)
I was driving one day, and I went to make a right turn and all of a sudden the steering wheel locked up and the power steering displayed on the dash. It has been happening since and mechanics don't want to work on it because of the area it's in. It's been going on for almost 1yr, and it's really annoying and tiring.
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 contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and failed to start and restart on numerous occasions. 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. The vehicle had not been diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.
Power steering went out and car became unstable causing my car to wobble and unsafe to drive couldn't get it repaired was told there was a recall on car and parts. Almost wreaked my car when power steering went out on the interstate and was almost hit by 18 wheeler had to call for someone to assist to get car home. Unable to drive safely.
There are 3 different areas that I assume are the cause of my car's problems. First the passenger side air bag is has stayed off, regardless of passengers being present since 2014, I believe. Using the key does not change the air bag status. Also this may be part of the electrical area, but at around the same time my cruise control also malfunctioned. The car was in motion when I realized both things. Also I've had problems with traction control coming on out of no where, and instead of the engine speed being reduced, the car will not move at all. Sometimes it will like reset after I pull over and wait for over 10 minutes, but it will come back on repeatedly. I have to pull over wait restart, pull over wait restart several times within a usual 20 minute drive at times. Also I'm having problems with the air compressor staying engaged. My car kind of bogs down when the compressor does kick in, and it repeatedly kicks on and off while driving any distance at all. Also the interior lights flicker constantly. The message center on the radio constantly says that I have low coolant, but that is an error message. In the suspension area my whole front end(struts, ball bearings, etc) seem to be bad. When I drive over a small bump the whole car shutters and pulls wildly to one side or the other. It feels like my tires hit into the rim itself over speed bumps when I am driving merely 10 miles per hour.
