2007 Pontiac G6 suspension problems

Filed Jun 29, 2016 · Steering, Suspension · 80,000 miles · IL

My pontiac g6 has been nothing but trouble since I got it. There is a violent shake in the steering wheel and pontiac does have open recalls for the issue I am having for inadequate support of the u-joints and steering shaft but my car was not manufactured in the state the recall was issued. I also periodically lose power steering while driving which is also another recall but again pontiac says my car isn't affected by the recall. I am scared to drive my car we have replaced pretty much the whole suspension and bought new tires still have the problem. When it does go out completely and it causes me to have a major crash I pray to god my kids are not in the car and that I don't die or hurt someone else in the process of trying to get the car stopped. I do a lot of driving for my job and the shake just gets worse and worse pontiac said they could set me up an appointment to have it fixed which I would have to pay for but I shouldn't have to. They should be responsible for fixing this issue just because my car was made in a different state doesn't mean that they used different parts or put it together a different way. The pontiac g6 is a hunk of junk I'll never buy another pontiac product in my life if this one doesn't kill me. I know I am not the only one who has this problem as I have seen countless threads discussing the topic on g6performance.com. The shaking starts at about 40mph and the faster you go te worse it becomes. Please if anything at all can be done to help I can't afford to keep sinking money in to this car nor can I afford to get a new vehicle

Again, I bought this car back in 2009 and the front end was making clunking sounds in the front end at slow speeds. Also, every slight bump in the road seems like I'm driving down a war zone. I understand these are low profile tires and the ride isn't like a cadillac, however, the front end on these cars are not well built. From the driver's seat, the sounds make me feel uneasy as if the tires are about to fall off from all the clunking, popping and other sounds! This is also true in many other gm models, as well. Is this a safety issue? Or nothing to worry about? When I trade this in, I won't be buying another gm product, that's for sure!

Two hours after driving it off the dealership lot, it started clunking /snapping in the front end when I turn, go over a slight bump, brake and accelerate. No doubt there needs to be a recall and soon!

I was driving and noticed that my airbag sensor light was coming on. It occasionally comes on and it goes off. I'm having a issue with something underneath my car. I replaced tierod and got two front end alignments. Since purchasing this car in october 2013 I complained to dealership my concerns for my car not feeling safe. It seems to be something in steering or underneath vehicle. My thermostat gauge fluctuates from zero degrees to 220 degrees while driving. Water pump was replaced and it still occurs.

We have a clunking in the front end of this piece of crap while turning. We have replaced the strut & spring assembly and sway bars in the front, as well as the rear shocks. Now its getting hard to turn and appears to be the power steering or a steering shaft issue. Also the passenger side airbag light is now on after the fuse for the cruise control blew, replaced fuse and still remains on. I purchased this car for my 16 year old daughter and now feel its a death trap, there appears to be numerous problems with this car and no recalls. How would you feel if it was your child driving it, or yourself for that matter. You really need to get it together and do something!!!

Loud constant clunking noise two weeks prior to incident pulling out of my garage and vehicle would not turn left or right no matter what,after turning ignition off and on numerous times I finally was able to get vehicle back in garage after doing some research on these cars they are known for having power steering and suspension problems also these vehicles have been in numerous auto crashes because of this! This vehicle also only has 70,000 miles on it there is no recall on this vehicle whatsoever,why is that?because obviously someone at gm dropped the ball!!! I am in the military and I am by no means financially able to continue to dump monies on a vehicle that gm should repair at no costs that has safety issues!!!

Driving during snowy conditions, I began to lose control and spin out. I attempted to correct my steering, then my car fish tailed. I slid into the ditch, never used my brakes. I took out a sign with the drivers side and hit about 3-4 trees with the front end. My airbags never deployed. Thank goodness no one was injured, but the amount of damage done and how many things I hit, shocks me as to why my airbag never deployed.

Front end rattles and knocks. When driving over bumps, loose control of steering. Gm needs to recall for these problems.

In less than a year I have replace the wheel bearing hub twice on both sides, issues with the ABS twice, all at my cost approx. 2000, now this month my brake lights run while driving and turn off when I press on the brakes. Seriously what is going on with the g6.
