Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Well, we purchased a 2009 Pontiac G6 in November of 2021. We have been having problems with our light staying on, we were pull over a couple nights ago due to our lights not working. Also, our G6 pulls to the right and tweeters are the only speakers that work. Sometimes the driver door speaker will come on but that's in a blue moon. My step dad looked at my lights and noticed our wires were burnt and so was the connection piece. My fiancé informed me the other day that when he was fueling up, that he had to turn the car off because he heard a weird noise coming from the inside of the gas tank. Also, when we purchased the vehicle the battery was put in wrong and rubbing up against our hood [XXX] near caught our car on fire. Sometimes the car with slowing idle and won't go until I have to put my foot all the way down to the floor. Also, I had all 4 brand new tires put on it and the tire light is still on. Coat me $576.67 for tires because I got the weather, puncture proof and warranty! We have told South Shields Auto Credit in OKC, Ok I believe his name is [XXX] about the lights and he told his actual words "THAT SOUNDS LIKE WIRING PROBLEM AND WE DON'T DEAL WITH WIRING PROBLEMS"!! We took it in to get the light fixed and the lights were working for about 2 days and they quit working again. I Doordash for a living, other than I am a full time student and I have to have my lights to see at night. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
My eps keeps malfunctioning and I lose the ability to steer my car. I've done research on the recalls but, can not solve my problems. This is my only vehicle and I feels it's too dangerous to drive.
1.when driving with the cruise control on it will turn off for no reason. 2. When the car is on the driver's seat gets really warm and the seat is not on. 3. The traction controller coming on while driving.
Traction has been turned off and will not come back on with pressing the traction button. While braking the car pulls quickly to the left, it's really bad while on the highway at a great amount of speed. While braking to go around a curve the steering pulls the other direction then what your turning so you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel
Takata recall shortly after I bought my 2009 pontiac g6 the words power steering in my car pops up on my dash which locks up my steering wheel as I'm driving there has been multiple times I've almost got in to accident luckily I new a little bit about computers and I found a way to drive it even with that bad malfunction which I'll have to turn my engine off reposition my steering wheel and turn it back on I call it reset basically this kinda tells the computer in the car that it's nothing wrong with the power steering and once I took it to get check out they said that it was fine that I should be ok well that was a lie I know I'm not the only one having this problem with my pontiac g6 2009 I am very concerned about my safety and my children safety I feel like this is a huge problem and if this doesn't get looked into somebody is going to get hurt real bad especially on the highway I stop driving my vehicle on the highway because I never know when the word power steering will pop up on my dash and I cant turn my steering wheel barely
Ive had alignments done but the car still pulls to one side. Does not drive straight or align with steering wheel. To drive straight my steering wheel must be turned to the right. It always pulls to one side and sometimes it will even jerk while driving. Passenger airbag will be off when passenger is in seat, and then sometimes will be on when noone is in the seat. The vehicle hydroplanes veey easily even with new tires on.
I have had a recurring problem for the past 3 years, where the power steering, traction control and electronic stability control all atop working at the same time. I have sought assistance from gm. The dealership tells me the car isn't storing a code. I have provided them with pictures, but they choose not to help. The problem is a known problem on other years of the pontiac g6. Gm website says they fix the problem on a case by case basis. Picture and video proof mean nothing if the car isn't storing a code. Codes flash across display that say "check power steering " "service traction" "service ESC". Only way for me to clear is to shut off car and turn back on. All peer steering is lost when problem occurs. Although I've listed. Only one date, which was the most recent, the problem occurred in 1/2014, twice in 7/2014, 12/2016 and in 3/2017.
I have wanted one of these cars since they first come out before I bought it, but now I hate it!! I have replaced the hubs 4 times on one side and twice on the other, thank goodness the first time the left side was replaced it was covered by a warranty, I called gm someone was suppose to get back with me but of chorus I've heard nothing, also have replaced headlights numerous times and wiring harness once because it was fried. This car has been nothing but trouble since I got it, I will be buying another car soon and it won't be a gm or pontiac I promise you that!!
As I was driving around a curve another vehicle was on my lane heading the opposite direction as me so I turns quickly to avoid collision and I lost control of the brakes and wheels. Upon impact with a light post no air bags on my side came out.
