2006 PONTIAC G6 Power Train Problems

Steering and steering wheel shakey and the power steering randomly goes out.

TRANSMISSION AUTOMATIC IS STARTING TO GO AND OR SLIP. HAVE TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY TO GET CAR MOVING. WILL START REVING ONCE IT'S PAST 3 RPMS. HAPPENS IN MOTION, ON STREETS WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. I HEAR A NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE.

MY VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION TROUBLE THAT I FOUND TO BE A DEFECT

WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING 🚗 TODAY I COULDN'T NORMALLY STEER TO EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT PULLING TREMENDOUSLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AS WELL ALMOST LIKE ITS STALLING OUT PUTTER, , "GM, IS SHORT FOR GOD MODE AND CAN HE BUILD IT, OR "GOT MAN" CAUSE HE 'GOT YA' WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT.. GREAT. LOVE IT. FML

THE ROAD WAS WET HAD NO TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP I WAS GOING AROUND 60MPH ON A EXPRESSWAYSLIDING AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED.I FEEL THE CAR IS TO UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT'S SITTING AT MB GARAGE IN HUNTLEY IL. ON LINE THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

LOST 4TH GEAR WHILE DRIVING

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

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.

MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING ON ME, IVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I WENT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE WAITED ALMOST A MINUTE FOR IT TO SHIFT PRESSED THE GAS & IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE THEN IT KICKED REAL HARD. TOOK IT TO A SHOP & THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S FAILING I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO TAKE A CHANCE & GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR HAVE MY CAR ROLLAWAY WHEN IT'S PARKED. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY STEERING, TOOK IT TO THE SAME SHOP FOR A LEFT CONTROL ARM & THEY TOLD ME THE REASON FOR THE CRACKING WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL IS THAT I NEED A U JOINT . AGAIN I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THESE ISSUES I HAVE WITH THIS CAR.

AUTO TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT: IT IS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL AND NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR INCLUDING PARK.

FIRST IT WILL NOT GEAR UP THE CAR WILL BE ON DRIVE AND IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO CATCH, THEN THE CAR WILL LOCK UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE. SO I WILL HAVE TO GET A TOW SERVICE BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL LOCK THE CAR AND I CANNOT PUSH IT TO A SAFE AREA.

MY CAR WAS RUNNING JUST FINE. ALL OF A SUDDEN ON A VERY RAINY NIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT CATCH GEAR IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO RUN SMOOTHLY. ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATER WHEN I GOT TO THE FREEWAY IT DROVE SMOOTHLY. THE NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STARTED BURNING. I STOPPED TO LET IT COOL AND CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS, EVERYTHING WAS OK. I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR 10 MINUTES TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE. WHILE REVERSING A LOT POP HAPPENED. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AND PINK FLUID WAS RUNNING DOWN THE PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER AN HOUR I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A RELATIVES HOUSE AFTER REFILLING THE CAR WITH POWER STEERING...

RECENTLY IN MAY I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 . ONCE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AS FAR AS THE SPEED SENOR CONTROL, I TOOK ACTIONS AS FAR AS GETTING QUOTES FOR REPAIRS. EVERY TRANSMISSION PLACED THAT I CONTACTED WAS QUOTING A PRICE NO HIGHER THAN 3,000 BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION THAT WAS IN THE CAR. AS THE DAYS AND TIME GOES BY THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO COME WITH THIS MONEY. I CONTACTED THE LIEN HOLDER IN JUNE, STATED THAT I WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR, BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO COME UP THAT TYPE OF MONEY TO REPAIR MY CAR.

MY FIANCE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IT FRIGHTENED ME TO THING THAT HER TRANSMISSION CABLE COULD GO, SO I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT HOW LONG UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, SINCE I WORRY ABOUT HER SAFETY. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, ONE OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 YEARS, AND TO IGNORE THE RECALL LETTERS, THAT THEY DON'T MEAN MUCH AND THEY ARE "FORCED" TO SEND THEM OUT....

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS SEVERELY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WHEN I AM AT A STOP AND PUSH THE GAS TO GO THE CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING. USUALLY THE SPEED IS BETWEEN 0-15 MPH.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT BY A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING SHOWING AS WRONG, I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A DEALER AND AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SUSPECTED AN ISSUE TO BE MODULE OR SOLENOID THAT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO FIX AND THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT IS THE ISSUE. BOTH MECHANICS DROVE THE CAR, COULD FEEL THE ISSUE BUT COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THERE IS AN HORRIBLE ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND NO ONE CAN PIN...

HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO GET THEM FIXED BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS WONDERING WHY? ALL THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THIS MAKE YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH ON MINE. SO HOW IS IT DETERMINED WHICH VINS GET RECALLED. I HAVE KIDS AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH IT.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CLUNK, KNOCK OR RATTLE NOISE FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR DRIVING ON CURVES, TURNING, OR GOING OVER BUMPS AT BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT HAPPENED ON A REGULAR SIDE STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAS A KNOCKING SOUND/NOISE COMING FROM IT WHEN I MAKE ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE STEERING AND HER CAR WAS FIXED BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER FOR MY CAR WHICH IS THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY CAR WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND ETC. IT FEELS LIKE A JERKING/PULLING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATE, AS IF IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS... EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE CAR SHOP, IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN THEY ARE TEST DRIVING MY CAR....

TRAVELING WEST ON I-20 AND MY CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED FOR NO REASON AND I REALIZED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I TRIED SEVERAL THINGS, BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND DO NOT SIGNAL TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT I AM COMING TO A STOP, WHICH IS QUITE DANGEROUS. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS INCLUDING CHECKING RECALL STATUS, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I ALSO OFTEN HAVE ISSUES GETTING MY CAR OUT OF PARK, HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE A LITTLE HARDER THAN NORMAL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON BUY THEMSELVES AND TURN OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. GEAR SHIFTER SOLENOID WON'T RELEASE OUT OF PARK SOMETIMES. *TR

WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK, THE APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM DRIFTING FORWARD NOR BACKWARD. I WAS INFORMED, AT A GMC DEALERSHIP, THAT THE REAR BRAKE CALIBERS HAD SEIZED IN A PARTIALLY ENGAGED POSITION -- SO THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN _ AND _ THE EMERGENCY WAS USELESS. THE REPAIR COST WAS OVER $ 500.00. THE CAR HAD A REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENT JOB ABOUT 1,000 MILES BEFORE THIS PROBLEM, AND SUPPOSEDLY THE CALIBER PROBLEM WASN'T APPARENT THEN. *TR
