Brake lights stay on when the car is in drive. Cruise control will not work. There are other intermittent electrical issues that are not safety related. With the brake lights always on, other drivers don't know when I'm stopping. The problem is ongoing and has been confirmed by an independent mechanic. there were no warning lights or messages. the problem started several years ago before I owned the car.
2007 Pontiac G6 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 197, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Headlight went out . Upon changing it I noticed that wiring harness was burnt and melted. Also was driving and power steering went out driving 65 miles per hour. The cruise control got stuck . Right side making horrible noise at times. This has put me and my five year old as well as anyone driving near me at risk of dying.
Something is draining battery. I have a brand new battery in it and battery was checked out at battery warehouse. I run car and about an hour the car is dead. I had problems with this car since I bought it from Koons in Westminster Md. I even paid for warranty but every time I took it back it didn’t cover it. This happened a lot I got a lemon and they refused to take it back. I put soo much money in this car I could of bought a brand new car. Now I’m stuck with a car that does not want to run again. What can I do about this car? I ran out of money 💰 to fix it. Please help. Thxs
I purchased my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder with 40k on the odometer on 5/13/2021. I notice right away it started having problem when i drove it home and it has been almost three weeks now and the problem is intermitten. This issue happens on local road city speed (25mph) and on highway doing highway speed (60mph) intermittently. When this issue occurs the steering wheel shake like crazy and it seems like it wants to pull over to the left or the right (feels like the car wants to drive itself). I would have to put some force to keep the steering wheel straight. The error code would pop up on the radio display stating "power steering". There was a recall for this issue for the electronic power steering assist. The problem is that the recall expired 6/31/2006 and my car is made on 7/2006 so the vin number does not fall in the recall list. The situation is dangerous and this issue need to be address. This recall should extend to all 2005-2010 pontiac g6 with electronic power steering not just pick and choose which year can be on the recall list. This is ridiculous because GM know this problem and they don't care enough to do what they are supposed to do..Obviously I have no dealer warranty since the vehicle is 14 years old so a recall would help since the manufacturer is 110% at fault. GM should included more years on this recall list.. The amount gm dealer wants to fix the problem is ridiculous. Please help.
The wiring connector for the drivers side low beam h11 headlight has melted and shorted 3 times now, leaving the driver without a drivers side headlighht. Vehicle was using oem part number head lights, of which never burnt out or failed and original headlight housings that it rolled off assembly with. Each time the harness has been replaced by an appropriate harness by a gm certified repair center. I have once noticed while using the remote start feature that the headlight will get really bright then appear to burn out as the vehicles engine starts. A connector with such high impedance I consider outright dangerous and a potential fire hazard. Not to mention the risk of a serious crash due to a malfunctioning headlight.
The car's anti theft system doesn't work properly or regularly, so at times you can start the car right away but other times when the anto theft won't go off you can't start the car for days.
Power steering keeps making a whinning when vehicle is not turning or in motion. Having continuously fill reservoir with fluid. Causes very hard steering when turning wheels. I ran into my friends vehicle while turning around in my yard from hard to manage the steering. The doors lock and unlock on it's own at any given time. Caused me two occasions of locksmiths to unlock car. Key fob never worked since purchased. 10
Our pontiac g6 hardtop convertible caught fire without any notice. The car had been previously driven at 75 MPH for an hour an and a half. It sat for 5 hours and then when we were driving at 10 MPH, it suddenly caught fire.
When I'm driving my 2007 pontiac g6 the dash and radio turn completely off the gauges go completely down then the car automatically turns back on whilst driving repeatedly.
Power steering in dic radio lit up no power steering at all. Power steering is electrical and goes off intermittently while driving recalls on this 2006-2007 g6 recall 14772 input my VIN # says my car not affected however, an major electrical power steering problem is detected in many 2007. Very serious costly problem. Will gm pay for repairs.
My vehicle's electrical power steering has gone completely out. It went out once while I was fully stopped at a red light and another time while I was going 70mph on the highway, resulting in a complete loss of steering in the vehicle. While the power steering was still working somewhat, the steering wheel would jitter/shake left and right (mainly to the left). The vehicle's power steering would also occasionally be out when the vehicle is started and would usually come back on when the vehicle is restarted a few times. The vehicle is currently not safe to drive.
I was driving my car home on dec 11,2019 and I heard a load pop that came from under my dash. Smoke started to fill my car and I was able to pull the car over and see what was going on. Upon further investigation I had noticed all my interior lighting and components had stopped working. I was able to get home safely and when I open my trunk I noticed the fuse box located in the truck and completely burner up. Also the wires that are located under the dash has also caught fire and that is where the smoke was coming from. This is the second time something has happened to this car and both cases have been recalled in the 2006 pontiac g6 sedans. The first case was when my power steering went out and I almost wrecked trying to get the vehicle off the road. Something needs to be done and I want this problem to be looked at. I have spoke to an attorney and he advised me to fill out a report and hopefully I can get this matter taken care of. It's not fair for an individual to buy a car and expect to be safe knowing that they have put cheap parts and faulty wiring in it. Something serious could have happened and my car could have easy fought fire. The estimate for the damage will be about $1000-$1200 dollars and I don't have that kind of money. The power steering problem cost me over $600. I want a reimbursement and I want my car fixed. There is no reason why gm can't fix it for free. It's currently sitting at my mechanics because I can't afford to get it fixed. Please take time and look into this matter I feel that I have been taken advantage of and this should have been recalled when the other cars were.
Traction control light came on while on the highway on my way home from work doing 70 miles per hour the car started to shake badly I could not stop the vehicle the brakes stopped working I had to put the car in neutral it eventually stopped I was scared for my life. I got off the highway and took the back road home car still shaking but made it home turned the car off and it stopped. Next my temperature gauge was stuck in the cold position while the car was hot and had been running for about 30 mins. Next my power steering light comes on while driving and the wheel locks up I checked for recalls it says my car doesn't have any but my car is doing everything said in the recall this car is dangerous to drive especially with two toddler kids.
Car wouldnt start thought it was alternator, then tried the battery and found out it was the brake switch. Brake lights stay on while car is driven and turn off when depressed
While driving on a street and also on the highway my power steering warning will appear on the info display and all my gauges such as gas and speed will fluctuate with the needle constantly going up and down. I can not tell how much gas I have or the speed I am going. The car then seems to become jerky in its movements so I pull over and turn it off and wait a few minutes, but then it continues to happen moments later. I see that there has been a recall for power steering however my VIN shows I have no outstanding recalls at this time.
Power steering notification comes on immediately when car is started. While stoped the steering wheel jerks from left to right. While driving the steering wheel continues to jerk from side to side, moving the front wheels with it causing the car to swerve left and right. Jerking from left to right becomes worse with speeds greater that 50 MPH
Headlight wiring harness overheated and melted, causing lamp failure and no low beam headlights.
My 2007 pontiac g6 shifts so hard and my engine light stays on all the time I have looked up online and multiple people have the same problem with the 06-07 models and it's the same exact problem as mine . It shifts way to hard there should be a recall on this for sure ! No one has been able to find a legit solution to fixing this problem gm really messed up when they made these cars if I would have read reviews first I definitely would no have bought this car ! As soon a share you turn the car on and put it in to reverse or drive it jerks really hard then every 10 MPH you go it jerks you all the way forward trying to shift ! Definitely disappointed really hope they do a recall because I can't afford to keep trying to fix this problem and nothing seems to work ! I'm sure everyone will appreciate ignorance they do a recall !!
Drivers side low beam headlight keeps burning out. The electrical wiring appears to get too hot and burns the light bulb out. The socket and the bulb would both need to be replaced because it the socket partially melts. I have replaced the socket and the bulb three times and the same thing keeps happening.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle would not stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The brake pedal pulsated and the steering wheel shook. In addition, the service electronic stability control and traction indicators illuminated. The contact managed to drive the vehicle home. The contact stated that "all communications were lost and no codes were detected". Furthermore, the convertible roof did not close. The vehicle was towed to bowser automotive (412‑469‑2100, located at 132-, 168 n lewis run rd, west mifflin, pa 15122) where the technician performed a diagnostic test, but did not find any codes. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no current recalls. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired in 2017 per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failures. The failure mileage was approximately 37,300.
My power steering keeps going out while I'm driving and it's affecting my wheels and steering. The car is in motion as this is going on.
While driving my car to work this morning on a city street downtown dallas it went into a flam and start smoking. I had to pull over and dial 911 and they came out and let the fire out the fire department told me to watch the car becuz it can start another fire the sprayed under the hood and in the dash board inside the car. The fire department said it could be some wiring issue but they wasn't sure. So I called and had the car towed to good year. They told me they could look at the car until tomorrow and will call me once they take a look
I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous gm vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my VIN number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the VIN number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the federal safety agency website, the tool says that not all VIN numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 pontiac g6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific VIN number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for g6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?
Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.
My steering wheel suddenly gets hard to move. It happens when im on the freeway going 60+ MPH and my power steering pump just completely goves out. I can pull over and turn my car off and back on and it stops doing it til I get back up to the speed limit. I was told by a repair shop that my power steering was covered by a gm recall, and I cant get anyone to find the recall information. My concern is why is it just a few makes recalled if the entire year of that make and model are faulty.
While the car is stationary or moving the brake lights appear on but once pressure is applied to the brakes they turn off. Basically the opposite way the brake lights should be working.
Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day. Lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: stationary, city driving, and highway driving.
My brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not being touched and then go off when the brake pedal is being pushed. The brake pedal switch has been replaced along with various other attempts to fix the problem with no success.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed and the brake warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the gear shifter would engage into neutral, park, or drive independently. The failures occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to bay ridge chevrolet (1575 86th street, brooklyn, ny 11228, 718‑232‑0186) where a diagnostic test located a failure code for the body control module, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The contact stated that the repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Electrical assist power steering quits working while driving resulting in loss of steering. Has almost caused me to wreck multiple times. Gm says there is nothing they can do. Issue happens while driving and while sitting still. Happens while going straight and also while turning on any type of road.
