“Wiper assembly failed twice during operation. Initial failure was in dec '08 and the entire wiper assembly was replaced at my expense. 2nd failure was on june 9th 2010. On june 9th I was in a driving rainstorm on the expressway driving 55 MPH when wipers failed and almost drove off of the road due to lack of visibility. Dealer wants to replace entire wiper assembly again. Vehicle is only 5 years old.”
NHTSA complaint #10335614, filed 2010-06, 85,000 miles“I have a 2005 Pontiac G6 gt. Since purchase, I have had to replace the intermediate steering shaft four or five times. I recently replaced the whole column (about 4 months ago) and it is again making clunking noises. A car expert friend who drove the car yesterday noted that it seems to both drag and have too much 'play'. The car should be recalled. It is no longer under warranty at 110,000 miles and should be replaced by GM.”
NHTSA complaint #10392585, filed 2011-03, 102,000 miles“I was making a sharp left turn in a parking lot. The car stalled and the steering locked up for a couple of seconds. I saw that the rpms had dropped to zero. Everything came back on and I continued. A very funny and scary few seconds. I see by reading other complaints, this is a problem with the new G6.”
NHTSA complaint #10145980, filed 2005-12, 9,050 miles“I have taken my car into the dealership due to the steering wheel being tough to turn at times. I received a letter in the mail from the dealership saying there may be a problem with the steering. However, when I took it into the dealership, they told me that there was nothing they could do to fix the car unless they could physically see that the steering was acting up. Just yesterday, I couldn't turn my car without using two hands to tug on the steering wheel. It wouldn't turn without fighting with the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10289952, filed 2009-10, 131,120 miles“My power steering light had been coming on intermittently for the past few days. Yesterday while leaving a parking garage the power steering light came on. I continued driving and as I went to turn the wheel, the power steering went out while making a left turn (5-8mph). I nearly ran into a pillar in the parking garage. I turned the car off and back on and the problem went away, but the power steering light stayed illuminated. After searching the internet for some time, I came across hundreds of similar problems. …”
