2006 PONTIAC G6 Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

TRANSMISSION ISN'T SHIFTING, AND SHIFT CABLE CAME APART SOMEWHERE. SEVERAL CARS JUST LIKE MINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS SAME THING HAPPENING, BUT MINE ISN'T?? CAR DOESN'T HAVE EVEN 135,000 MILES. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS SHORTING OUT SOMEWHERE, AND IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. POWER STEERING IS WORKING AGAINST ME OR NOT WORKING AT ALL. THIS ALL HAPPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME... PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIGURED OUT, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE, IT IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND OF THESE CARS JUST LIKE MINE AND MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE??? TELL ME WHY NOT?? *TR

STEERING VERY DANGEROUSLY. THIS IS A RECALL THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX.

MY CARS ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. MY HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT OUT . ITS EXTREMELY HARD JUST TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND ITS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN THE IGNITION, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO LOCK YOUR DOOR SO NO ONE WILL STEAL YOUR CAR WHILE YOUR SLEEPING. AND THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OR WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR IS, WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE MEDAL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MASH WHILE DRIVING EVEN WITH TWO FEET. AND MY MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK REQUIRES ME TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD RECALL WORK DONE TO MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 BEFORE DUE TO MY ELECTRIC SYSTEM FAILING AND THESE ARE ALL OF THE SAME SIGNS OF THE RECALL. AND I WOULDN'T DARE LET MY FAMILY RIDE IN THIS CAR....

STEERING LOCKS AND HARD TO TURN AND HEADLIGHT DIMS WHILE TURNS STEERING WHEEL

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY COMING ON FOR ONE TING OR ANOTHER. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT. AT ONE POINT, THE GAS GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE TANK IN ABOUT EMPTY WHEN WE HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK HALF OF THE WAY. BEING SENIOR CITIZENS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR WITHOUT PAYING BEYOND YOUR BUDGET, OR GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE. ALSO THE POWER STEERING FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES.

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN GIVING MY WIFE ISSUES WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, ABS SENSOR COMES ON, AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR START TO DIM. THIS HAS CAUSED HER TO NEARLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A POWER ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS MORE BEHIND THE ISSUE. WHENEVER I CALLED MY GM DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSORS IN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES. SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY GM OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND HAD TO CALL THEM DIRECTLY TO FIND OUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE, MY VEHICLE HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

MY STEERING WHEEL IS GOING CRAZY AND SOMETIME IT JUST DOES WORK LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ALMOST HAD A REAL BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS UNKNOWN PROBLEM

MY G6 2006 3.9 GTP TRANSMISSION WONT MOVE THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR THE TRANSMISSON SHOWED NO SIGN OF GOING BAD I HAVE TO PUT CAR IN MANUAL TO DRIVE IT ALSO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT POPS ON RANDOM TIMES FOLLOWED BY A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING. MOST RECENT WAS DRIVING HOME FROM NEW YORK ON FRIDAY AND IT WENT OUT. IT COMES BACK WITHOUT WARNING AS WELL. IT IS WORKING FINE NOW. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAPPENS 95 PERCENT OF THE TIME WITH THEM WORKING THE CORRECT WAY GETTING LESS AND LESS FREQUENT.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I FOUND OUT IT HAS BEEN FIXED BEFORE UNDER WARRANTY BEFORE I BOUGHT IT! AND YES I WAS DRIVING THE CAR! ALSO THE SHIFTER HAS ISSUES!

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON DURING A ROUTINE DRIVE, AND REMAIN ON. HAD MECHANIC INSPECT- CONCLUDED THAT BOTH SENSORS WORKING, MALFUNCTION DUE TO NO ELECTRICITY BEING DELIVERED. AS A RESULT, CRITICAL CRASH AVOIDANCE FEATURES (BOTH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE CRITICAL) ARE DISABLED / FAILING. REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE TRACING WIRE BACK TO POINT OF ISSUE. BEFORE HAVING A PRIVATE MECHANIC ADDRESS, I LEARNED OF RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000) EFFECTIVE AUG 18, 2014, WHEREBY GM TO ADDRESS WIRING HARNESS WITH SPACERS AND DIELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ON THIS AND TOLD NO OPEN RECALL; TOLD THAT IT WAS ALREADY ADDRESSED BY SERVICE AT DEVAN CHEVROLET, WILTON CT ON AUG 13, 2015. I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAD THE CAR AT THAT DEALER / SERVICE CENTER ON THAT DATE FOR ANOTHER MATTER- I HAD NO ISSUES OR SYMPTOMS WITH ABS AND TRACTION...

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ON NOVEMBER 03, 2017, MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP, AUTOMOBILE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT FLIPPED AND CRASHED AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON THE HWY AND THE CAR LOST STEERING POWER AND THE CAR WENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE HWY. I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN AT THAT TIME THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN 2013, I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE RECALL NOTICE IN 2015 AND I TOOK MY PONTIAC 06 G6 GTP TO OAKS GMC DEALER TO BE FIXED BY GM, AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER RECALLS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING UNTIL I FOUND RESEARCH THROUGH NHTSA AFTER THE ACCIDENT, NHTSA RECALL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 15V064000,

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND CAR BECAME UNSTABLE CAUSING MY CAR TO WOBBLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE COULDN'T GET IT REPAIRED WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON CAR AND PARTS. ALMOST WREAKED MY CAR WHEN POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY 18 WHEELER HAD TO CALL FOR SOMEONE TO ASSIST TO GET CAR HOME. UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY.

DRIVING ON WAY HOME FROM WORK, WHOLE TRIP NOTHING OVER 45 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ITS THE LIGHT WITH TC AND A SLASH TROUGH IT. THE LIGHT TURNS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL BUT COMES ON WHEN SHIFTER IS IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON I NOTICED EXTREMELY SLUGGISH ENGINE PERFORMANCE, EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING ALL THE WAY THROUGH 4TH GEAR WITH BAD SLAMS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS OF DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT STILL ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN BARELY GET GOING FROM A STOP LIGHT. I PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT TO WORK ON IT THE NEXT DAY, AND TO MY SURPRISE THE NEXT MORNING THE TC OFF LIGHT WAS GONE AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE CAR...

ON APPROXIMATELY 13 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS (WHILE ON A CITY STREET AT 25MPH, AND WHILE ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH) ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES GO CRAZY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO. 'POWER STEERING' MESSAGE AND 'LOW FUEL' LIGHT (HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS) WAS SHOWN ON THE RADIO MESSAGE CENTER, ALONG WITH WARNING SOUNDS, AND 'ERROR' WAS DISPLAYED IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. GAUGES CONTINUED FLUCTUATING REPEATEDLY FROM NORMAL AND/OR CORRECT RANGES, TO ZERO, AND CONTINUED SOUNDING/SHOWING WARNING SOUNDS AND ERROR MESSAGES FOR APPROX 5-6 MINUTES. THEN ALL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AND STAYED THERE, CAR ENGINE WAS CUTTING IN AND OUT AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, DID NOT HAVE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. PARKED CAR, SHUT OFF, REMOVED KEY, OPENED DOOR AND RESTARTED CAR. DROVE FINE (NO ISSUES) FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND THEN THE SAME...

AT 60,000 MILES THE POWER STEERING ALERT CAME ON THE DIC AND THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I REPLACED THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION IN THIS CAR COSTING ME OVER $2500 DOLLARS. THE PAST MONTH THE WHEEL HAS BEEN SHAKING BADLY AND WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL PULL EACH WAY AND HAVE PLAY AND SOMETIMES BE STIFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I'VE ALMOST CAUSED MYSELF TO GET IN MANY ACCIDENTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY GM. I'VE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES AND MY CAR VIN ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. THE CAR NOW JUST ECLIPSED OVER 100,000 MILES AND NEED TO KEEP THIS CAR THROUGH THE WINTER BUT I'M AFRAID WITH THE WINTERS WE HAVE IN BUFFALO, I'M GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT....

TAKATA RECALL TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN DRIVING IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD IF THE TC LIGHT IS ON ALSO WHILE DRIVING IT TRYS TO STALL OUT. ALSO RANDOMLY ALL DASH LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GAUGES ALL GO CRAZY AND PUTS ERROR ON THE DASH WHERE THE ODOMETER READING IS AND THEN CAR WANT START.

DURING SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS, WHEN I APPLY BRAKES, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE 5MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL INTERFERES WITH BRAKES AND CAR DOES NOT ALLOWS ME TO APPLY BRAKE. I FEEL THIS STRONG VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN HEAR SOME MECHANICAL NOISE. ITS LIFE THREATENING IN WINTERS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH FAMILY. PHYSICALLY BY BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. SEEMS LIKE PROBLEM WITH TRACTION CONTROL OR ABS.

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT LIGHTS. THIS EVENING I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD AND SUDDENLY BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I PUT ON MY HIGH BEAMS AND 15 SECONDS LATER, BOTH LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED EVERY FEW HUNDRED FEET FOR MY ENTIRE DRIVE HOME. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND AS I'M LOOKING ONLINE I SEE MANY OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING LIGHTING ISSUES. IF THIS IS A FREQUENT AND KNOWN PROBLEM, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. IT WAS REALLY SCARY HAVING BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND I'M VERY THANKFUL I DID NOT CRASH! THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND RECALLS! AS A LONG TIME GM CUSTOMER, I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE!

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 (IN 2006) IT HAS BEEN FAILING TO START FROM TIME TO TIME. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL (SHORTAGE) PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE CAR NOT TO START AND KILLS THE BATTERY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACED THE FOUR(4) TIMES. THE CAR HAS TOTALLY DIED ON ME FIVE (5) DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE FIRST AND SECOND TIMES IT DIED, IT WAS BETWEEN 25-40K MILES ; THEREFORE, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE THIRD TIME IT WAS A LITTLE BEYOND 60K AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO I PAID OUT OF POCKET. THE FOURTH I REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN. THE FIFTH AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED. LOST STEERING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE DIC READOUT "CHECK GAS CAP," I WOULD TIGHTEN THE HAD CAP, BUT STILL THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE REPLACED...

THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND WAS VIRTUALLY INCAPABLE OF DRIVING. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. I WAS UNABLE TO PARALLEL PARK AND AS A RESULT IT TOOK OVER 30 MINUTES OF EFFORT TO TRY AND GET MY CAR CORRECTLY INTO THE SPOT. I HAD TO KEEP SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON TO TRY AND GET THE WHEEL TO TURN. THIS WOULD ONLY BRIEFLY FIX THE STEERING FOR A MATTER OF SECONDS AND WAS STILL HARD TO TURN DURING THOSE SECONDS. EVENTUALLY, I JUST GAVE UP AND MOVED MY CAR INTO A SPOT THAT DID NOT REQUIRE PARALLEL PARKING. HOWEVER, THIS TOO WAS AN ISSUE TO PARK. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT POSSES AS A SERIOUS SAFELY ISSUE WHEN USING THE CAR. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN CAR IS IN PARK, WITHOUT BRAKE BEING DEPRESSED. WHEN BRAKE IS ACTUALLY BEING DEPRESSED, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER BEING SET. DIFFICULT TO SWITCH GEARS OUT OF PARK AT TIMES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANIC TWICE. FIRST TIME HAD A SENSOR REPLACED. SECOND TIME HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH REPLACED. PROBLEMS STILL NOT RESOLVED. AFTER SEEING A PREVIOUS RECALL IN 2009 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE I CHECKED INTO IT AND MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN MY CAR, IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ALMOST REAR END US BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THAT ANOTHER RECALL IS ISSUED SOON TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS...

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING WHEEL JAMMING UP WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS A VERY SCARY ORDEAL.THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I ALMOST HIT A CITY BUS AND HAD MI INFANT IN THE CAR.

POWER STEERING STOP WORKING, HAD IT REPLACE BY A GMC DEALER. AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WOULD WORK BY RESETTING IT. IN FEB. OF 2009 STARTED FAILING AGAIN FOR HOURS AT A TIME SOMETIMES A DAY OR TWO. IT WAS REPLACE AFTER AN ACCIDENT TO CAR. IT CONTINUED TO GO IN AND OUT AT CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME. NOW MARCH OF 2012 IT IS COMPLETELY OUT. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS CHANGE THE WHOLE UNIT OUT. I FEEL TO BELIEVE THAT EITHER THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE OR THE DEALERS ARE OUT TO CASH IN. CAN SOMEBODY CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS MATTER. I THINK THE ONLY REASON THIS HASN'T BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE ENOUGH LIVES WERE NOT LOST. *TR
