Power steering stops working when starting car. Message displays on readout saying power steering. I am very concerned this will happen while driving. Increasing in frequency of occurrences. I see other recalls for same issue but states this VIN number is not among the recall.
2007 Pontiac G6 electrical complaints
Page 3 of 8: complaints 41 to 70 of 197, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when I was driving and something broke,I think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when I don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when I was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about 0 to 40 day ago.
Front driver side low beam headlight keeps blowing out.
Check engine light randomly comes on and off while other electrical issues occur, I.e. Cruise control and traction control malfunctions.
While accelerating, "service traction control" warning lights up and transmission shifts roughly. Warning message usually goes off after a short time or when vehicle is turned off and restarted.
Intermittent ability to use cruise control. System would randomly not work or deactivate while driving. This problem has been ongoing since purchase.
Brake lights are on while accelerating & go off when braking.
"takata recall" I have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter. The air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly. The ab light continuously blanking the words "needs to be serviced" and I've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.
The passenger side low beam headlight continuously goes out due to the wiring shorting out. I discovered the burn after replacing the passenger lowbeam bulb several times. The headlight socket has been replaced twice. The wiring has been replaced. The light will work for one day and go right back out due to something burning out the wire. This is a safety issue and has become a common problem amongst the g6 line. A recall and fix should be provided.
My headlight burned out on the driver's side of the car. I replaced it and it lasted about two weeks and then burned out again. Found the socket melted and burned up real bad. I replaced the headlight socket assembly and it worked for about a month and then would come on only when I slammed the hood (sometimes.) and then stopped working for good. The bright light on the driver's side of the car worked fine up until then, but soon after went out so I replaced that bulb and socket assembly with no result. Neither bright nor dim light works on driver's side. I can't figure it out. No one can tell me why it's doing it, and none of the mechanics I've been to have any idea why the headlights aren't functioning properly (at all.) it's frustrating. It's dangerous. And it has cost me more money than lights should ever cost a person. I haven't driven the car in months because I'm tired of getting pulled over. It sucks and I still am paying on this car and can't even use it. I hate pontiac. Gm needs to shutdown. Never been satisfied with a gm vehicle.

Ever since I purchased this car the headlights never stay on. It's either one or the other, no matter how often I replace them, one goes out. It's dangerous for me to drive with my child in the car with one headlight. I've had it "fixed" several times, even the wiring. Despite my attempts, I still always only have one headlight.
Takata recall for about a month now my vehicle has been randomly dying. I was on the highway when suddenly everything locked up I couldn't stop, couldn't brake, the engine seized and I was unable to restart the car. The steering wheel was moving in both directions by itself, then locked up. I had to get out and push the car into a safe place and was unable to re-start it.
I was pulling into my driveway and before I put my car in park it died. After I placed it in park and began to get me and my children out it started rolling away. Brakes wasn't stopping it but emergency brake did. Mow my car wont start at all.

Electrical spasms. All gauges(including speedometer and tac) flake out, bounce around, go to zero. Traction control shuts down. Hvac electrical goes out. No way to see out windshield as defrost will not work when this occurs. Warning lights come on an off and on again etc. This can occur when driving or stationary, you never know when it will occur. Very unsafe and relates very well with recall already made by gm on 05/15/2014 for 2007 g6 but not for my g6??? How??? I have been fighting this for many years and can't get them to take care of it properly. Dealer did actually fix one problem once when the blower fan would come on whenever it felt like it even when the car was off, key out of the ignition, doors locked, and us walking away. Needless to say we had a few dead battery instances. Actually had a dealer and gm involved. Dealer wanted to have a blank check to continue to do diagnostics after having see the problem and extracted 17 error codes from the vehicles computer. They couldn't figure it out, asked gm who had no idea, and wanted me to let them diagnose with no limit. Unbelievable. Many reports of the same problem can be found on the internet.

I want to know how to get a letter regarding a recall on my vehicle. I went to pepboys.com and my vehicle was listed as having recalls.
I have had to change my driver's side headlight bulb four times in four months. The last one that I had changed blew almost immediately after installation (within three hours).when I took it back to be fixed I was told that the connecter cable has melted because the light gets to hot. Now I have to have that part replaced as well, and I am given no guarantee that it will last either. The worst part is that the dealership wants $55.00 for the part and $143.00 for labor! Crazy!
