“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. …”

NHTSA complaint #10209797, filed 2007-11, 1,000 miles“I recently purchased a 2005 Pontiac g-6...the rear door locks do not have child safety locks.

Had he not been in his car seat he would have fallen out of the car traveling at 50 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #10157577, filed 2006-05“Cpst noted during crs installation that vehicle owners manual for 2005 Pontiac G6 gt indicated that latch anchors were located in outboard seating locations. Vehicle clearly had 6 lower anchors (3 sets). Lower anchor configuration appears atypical for the rear driver side and center seating positions. These 4 anchors are unevenly spaced and likely require the use of every-other anchor to properly secure a crs. The vehicle manual guidance directions could pose a significant risk as the rear outboard location behind the driver has 2 anchors spaced about 8-9 inches apart. …”
