2008 Pontiac G6: multiple warning lights

Filed Feb 9, 2018 · Lights, Seat belts · 132,000 miles · IN

My biggest concern is the power steering. When I start the car, it only works about 50% of the time. I have to turn he ignition off and restart the car 3-4 times to get it to work properly. If it goes out while I'm driving, I could easily get hurt or hurt someone else. My seat belt sensor doesn't work. It beeps and dings at me while I'm driving, very distracting...makes me jump when I'm concentrating on the road. I had to replace the same headlight 3-4 times in 3 months. The harness was all melted when the mechanic got it out. Not only is it illegal for me to drive without all lights working but it's dangerous. Also, I received a letter about my brake lights...that they may not light while braking, or illuminate while I'm not braking. It said not to take it to be fixed if there was no problem. Can someone please tell me how I can possibly know there's a problem before someone rear ends me?

November 6 2014 I purchased a 2008 pontiac g6 I had a scheduled visit to repair a cracked gauge cluster, a seat repair and repair of my adjustable pedals while on the way to the dealer for repairs I noticed a hesitation in my transmission when shifting from 1st to 2nd. I notified the service writer of that happening and she said they would look into it. I was given a 3 month 3000 mile warranty that said nothing about who would pay for any repairs. It was in service at least a week. They call and say it.s ready and I pick it up it drives fine for 8 days and the electronics stop working all the warning lights are on ABS, traction control the odometer read the word error and my transmission wouldn't shift right. I drove it right back and they took it in for repair. This time they have it for 2 weeks ( I have the paperwork to prove this ). They finally call and tell me it's ready I pick it up no charge again and it drives fine for 4 days.same electronic problem happens again.and now it won't start. I have it towed in they have it for another 6 day. They call say it's fixed I pick it up it drives fine for a couple days and it again all warning lights on won't shift right traction control not working and the odometer reads error again. This time I don't shut it off and drive it right there I could not afford another tow charge I'm on a fixed income. They have it for another 10 days. They call me tell me it's fixed for the 5th time I go pick it up 6 days later the transmission is slipping I bring it in they tell me it needs a rebuild far $2357.00 and because it is a different problem I have to pay half of the price. I was told by a sae certified master mechanic that multiple computer failures may have prematurely cause the internal hard parts of the transmission to fail it has 60,820 miles on it well under gm mileage warranty. Called gm they side with the dealer

While driving at 70mph on the freeway, every light on the dash came on. Speedometer stopped working but car continued to run though roughly. Was able to pull off the interstate. Turned the ignition off and car engine stopped running but all the dash lights stayed on and blower motor continued to run for about 10 minutes. Had to have vehicle towed to dealership. Was told the fusible link failed between the alternator and the starter. Was told it was not in conjunction with the recall (13036) for bcm voltage fluctuation. Dealership performed recall repair but vehicle had to be brought back a 2nd time to recalibrate the bcm.

While trying to pass an 18 wheeler up hill, the car down shifted into the passing gear, at 5000rpm all of the warning lights started flashing on the dashboard. I also lost power-steering. A week later while trying to parallel park, I lost power steering. No flashing lights just now power steering. It took all I could to turn the wheel.
