2010 Pontiac G6

BOUGHT NEW-USED 2010 PONTIAC G6 WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES ON IT (2 PREVIOUS OWNERS) AND LESS THAN 7 MONTHS LATEE, I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT SHORTING OUT. REPLACED BULBS MANY TIMES, ONLY FOR IT TO GO OUT AGAIN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER. THEN, THE NOTICED THE SOCKET WAS CORRODED AND MELTED. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INFO AND CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. YET, NO RECALL! APPARENTLY THESE CONNECTORS WERE MADE WITH WIRES TOO CLOSE TOGETHER, AND SO THEY GET TOO HOT AND THEN SHORT OUT. SO EVEN REPLACING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT HARNESS WILL PROVE USLESS, AS IT WILL JUST CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WITH THE NEW ONE. AT A LOSS AS HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT OR GET MY CAR INSPECTED BECAUSE OF THIS . AS FAR AS WHEN IT STARTED, THE BULBS SEEMED TO GO OUT WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON TO GO SOMEWHERE, ID NOTICE THE BULB WAS OUT. NEVER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING.

GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE ONLY FOR PREVIOUS YEARS THEY DID EXTEND SPECIAL COVERAGE BUT ONLY UP TO 150,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING CUTTING OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE HAD TO MANUALLY TRY AND STEER MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAS CUT OUT, THANK GOD I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR!! I BARELY HAD THE STRENGTH TO STEER IT WHEN I HAD TO. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS DESIGN OF ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND I FEEL GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX IT REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE ON A PERSON'S VEHICLE. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE UP THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR FLASHES ALONG WITH SERVICE ESC AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WILL USUALLY RESET BUT THIS IS HAPPENING WITH MORE AND MORE FREQUENCY AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING WHILE SITTING IDLE AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MORE MILES ON IT THAN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ALLOWS DOESN'T MEAN GM SHOULD DISCARD THE ISSUE AND MAKE IT THE CONSUMERS PROBLEM! THIS IS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY DESIGN/MANUFACTURING OF THIS PART.

WHEN STARTING MY CAR, POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC WAS SHOWN ON MY MESSAGE CENTER AS MY CAR BEEPED TO ALARM ME OF THE MESSAGE AS WELL AS I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET WHAT THAT MESSAGE MEANT AND SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUES ON PREVIOUS YEARS OF THE SAME VEHICLE BUT THAT 2010 ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. ONLINE IT STATED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THEN TRY AGAIN. I DID SO AND MY CAR STARTED AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND MY POWER STEERING WAS BACK (AS NORMAL). EVERY TIME I START MY CAR THE SAME MESSAGE COMES ACROSS. ALTHOUGH, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A WEEK SINCE THIS ORIGINALLY STARTED AND IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND TAKES 4 OR 5 TIMES FOR ME TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT BEFORE IT "GOES BACK TO NORMAL". ALSO, WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT PRETTY BADLY AND I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL CROOKED TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THERE'S ALSO A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE THAT ALSO WAS STATED TO BE APART OF THE RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS. MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE IT WAS BURNING TODAY AND I'M WONDERING IF IT'S PART OF THE ELECTRICAL/STEERING ISSUES THAT MY CAR IS HAVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. :(

WHILE DRIVING, UNEXPECTEDLY, AN ERROR WILL APPEAR STATING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING. AT THIS TIME, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME, A "SERVICE ESC" CODE APPEARS ALSO AND IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEEDS WHICH POSES A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE. SOME INSTANCES HAVE INCLUDED THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR THE TAIL LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE IS PAID OFF AND EXPENSES HAVE BEEN INCURRED BY THE OWNER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE IS RECURRING. THE REPAIR CENTER CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE LARGE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THESE ISSUES POSE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE OWNER SHOULD CONTINUE TO ACCRUE COSTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THE PROBLEM ULTIMATELY IS NOT MITIGATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ENGAGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. SHORTLY AFTER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY SINCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AFTER REPLACING THE FUSE BOX, WIRING HARNESS, AND FUSES ON MY FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK OF MY G6 I HAVE HAD NO SATISFACTION AS TO THE PROBLEM BEING REMEDIED THAT CONTINUES TO CAUSE SITUATIONS THAT COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO RUN RIGHT OUT AND PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE PAID ON THIS ONE EXPECTING IT TO LAST ME A VERY LONG TIME. THIS ISSUE WITH THIS RELAY PROBLEM TO THE FUEL PUMP WHICH HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO NOW SHUT DOWN TWICE ON ME ON MAIN INTERESTATES WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME! THIS ISSUE NEEDS ADDRESS IS MY FAMILY GOING TO BE COMPENSATED SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WILL MY EXPENSES BE PAID. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING ADDRESS BY YOURSELVES OR THROUGH PONTIAC. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE HANDLED OR IF IT CANNOT BE REMEDIED I WOULD LIKE A FULL REFUND ON MY VEHICLE OF $14000 SO I MAY BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS ADDRESSED. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT FILING DUE TO MYSELF AND FAMILY ALMOST BEING HARMED FATALLY DUE TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM!!!!! *TR

ON MAY 9, 2016, I WAS HEADING TO MY HOME WHEN MY CAR STALLED BRIEFLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR ROADWAY, 220 NORTH, CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND 21502. LUCKILY MY VEHICLE RE-ENGAGED WITHIN A MINUTE IN ORDER FOR ME TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ANY TRACTOR AND TRAILER TRAFFIC THAT WAS STEADILY APPROACHING ME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS PETRIFIED DURING THIS TIME THING I WAS GOING TO BE DEMOLISHED AND DIE IN MY CAR!!! THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE RELAY CONNECTION FROM THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK OF THE PONTIACT G 6 TO THE FUEL PUMP WHICH HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO NOT START ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. WE HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND FROM EVERYTHING WE HAVE SEEN AND DONE NOTHING FIXES THIS PROBLEM, NOT EVEN REPLACING THE FUSE BOX, FUEL PUMP, FUSES, ETC. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME IT SEMI STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR ROADWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS A PONTIAC ISSUE I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE ONLINE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH THROUGH A RECAL FROM THE PONTIAC MANUFACTURER. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS AND FUSE BOX IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX SO IF PONITAIC IS UNABLE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO TRADE ALL PONTIAC G6 FOR A VEHICLE OF EQUAL VALUE!!! AT THIS POINT I AM THOROUGHLY FRUSTRATED AND PISSED OFF WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ON THESE VEHICLES!!! IT IS A SHAME THAT IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE LOSING THEIR LIFE FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE HANDLED!!! I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW WITH NO PERMANENT SOLUATION, I HAVE MISSED WORK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN LATE ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE WORST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY ON A MAJOR ROADWAY STALLING WITH TRACTOR AND TRAILER TRAFFIC COMING UP BEHIND ME.

MY POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT ,I HIT A CURB TODAY ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED AND THEN SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN.THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE WILL CAUSE SOME ONE TO HAVE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT,AND GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE,THIS CAN TURN INTO A VERY SERIOUS LAWSUITE,I DEMAND THAT MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 STEERING PROBLEM BE COVERED UNDER RECALL,THIS IS A FORMAL DEMAND.

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSIONS AND AFTER DOING A SEARCH ON THE INTERENET I HAVE FOUND OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR STARTS BUT IT DOES NOT TURN OVER ALL THE WAY. IT WILL DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES THEN IT FINALLY STARTS. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW AND IS VERY STRONG, AND LIKE I MENTIONED IT STARTS AND IS STRONG IT JUST DOES NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OVER. ALTERNATOR IS FINE, ETC. BELIEVED TO BE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE.
