Passenger side front low beam headlight does not stay on. Going over a bump during driving knocks the light off and shutting the hood or tapping on the headlamp may turn it back on. Dangerous to drive as both lights may go out. Was informed that the wiring connector inside the lamp case could melt from the heat of the light bulb.

When I start my car, I receive a power steering warning and the steering wheel will not move. The steering wheel will shake and there is a knocking noise. This also happens sometimes when im at a red light. To get it back to normal I have to cut the car off and cut it back on.

Upon the purchase of a brand new pontiac g6 in 2008, I have had several problems from about the 5000 mile mark. It began with my tail lights staying on while driving, no matter what speed. When I apply the brakes, they would go off and come on while driving. A month later steering column started to knock when making turns, the dealership has regreased the shaft and the noise went away for a few weeks and has continued to make the noise. The dealer said it will not hurt anything and will not regrease it. All of these issues have been happening for 4 consecutive years. I have replaced several head lamps, once about every 2 months and wiring harness because they melt. The power steering started to go out in november of 2012 and several times since; it locks up and I am unable to drive it for a while and it just magically fixes itself. I had trouble putting my vehicle in park in january 2013 and my key would not come out of the ignition. I left it in for a few days and it came back out. Yesterday, february 23, 2013 the airbag service light has come on. We have checked all fuses, and there seems to be none out. The vehicle has never been in any accident not even a dent on the vehicle. I have never recieved a recall for the vehicle either. Maybe they are just not getting to me?

I had my car for a year and have put 2500 in work on my front end, to still have problems with it. There is a knocking noise when I turn, just had my brakes,rotors replaces and they still grind when it rains. This is the 1st american made car I ever had and my last. This car is a piece of junk and should not me able to be sold. I paid cash for my car thinking I would be ahead, but all I had is a headache. I plan on trading it in and believe me my next car will not be american made. I thought I would support my country, but what for it doesn't care about us. I always take my cars to the dealer, but I cant afford to go every other week or once a month for problems with a car I just got with lessthen 60000 miles on it. This is on real. *tr ## VIN failed

Whenever I turn the steering wheel either left or right, I hear a knocking coming from the steering column. The knocking is even more persistent when I turn left. Also, when I turn left, I hear a noise come from my left-front area... It's almost like there's a problem with the rack.

I have a 2008 pontiac g6, and while driving there is a knocking or sounds like something is loose on the left front suspension. They have replace the steering shaft, sway bar links, still having the problem. Had it to the dealer 3-times. I am afraid something will break and cause me to wreck. Can hear it gook hitting a pot hole in on the pavement or going down a gravel road that has pot holes. If something breaks and causes me to wreck, I will pursue if still available I will sue the dealership for not correcting this. I am tired of spending all my time at the dealership, they are suppose to have certified mechanics, but they don't take enough time to really fix the issue with my car.
