Grinding or squealing brakes by model year
What owners say
When turning at slower speeds and tighter cornering a squeaking noise is heard from the steering column. Also when pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the squeaking noise is heard. Had similar issue on 2003 pontiac. Seems they would have corrected it in 6 years.told by dealership on 2003 pontiac that it was grease pack issue and needed replacing. Very expensive to fix.
I have a new 2009 pontiac g6 and the brakes squeak terribly. Many mechanics have said this is dust causing this. I do not agree. There has to be something wrong. I have had many other vehicles and this does not happen. Pontiac should be responsible for correcting this issue. It is a total nuisance. How do I know the brakes will not go out. They did not squeak when we test drove as if it did, I would have never made the purchase. I am very dissatisfied with this new car.
