“I checked my VIN on my 2006 Pontiac G6 to see what recalls popped up. My vehicle does not fall under any of the recalls for power steering, air bags, or seat belts but I have had many issues. My power steering quits working randomly. I have to pull over, shut the car off, then turn it back on and it will work agian. Just yesterday the warning light came on and said service air bags. Also the sensor for the seat belts will sometimes not work. The bell will continuously ding to alert you that the seat belt is not buckled and it actually is. …”

NHTSA complaint #10629596, filed 2014-08, 140,000 miles

“Car started giving a warning that driver seat belt was not fastened and it was, the warning would repeatedly come on and go off for the whole day. Then while driving we lost power steering. It was very difficult to control and fortunately was able to pull into a private drive. Left the car and obtained a ride to my destination and the next morning returned, started the car and it was ok. Car does sit outside and not sure what happened but glad we were not going 70 MPH on highway. We had to replace the manifold on the car just about 2 weeks before these issues and it was expensive. …”

“I bought this car on 4/12/2006. The electrical system has a problem so when the passenger rolls down the power window the driver can not put it back up. On 6/29/2006 I took it in for this and they put grease on my windows and they replaced the drivers side window switch. It worked for 2 days and then it stopped working again only this time the passenger seat belt warning stopped working as well, so on 7/8/2006 I took it back and they replaced the drivers side window switch again and repaired the wires to the warning for seat belt. …”

“Seat belt would not unbuckle. With a fair amount of difficulty and some assistance, I was able to slip out of seat belt. The plastic on the buckle portion of the belt near the opening where the latch slides in had broken into several pieces and lodged inside the buckle preventing it from opening. After picking the broken pieces out, the buckle finally released. A potentially serious problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10649264, filed 2014-10, 78,000 miles

“2006 Pontiac G6 with seat belt and air bag failures. Customer states that the seat belt failed to work properly and the air bags failed to deploy in an accident. The consumer stated the seat belt didn't lock properly and consequently she went forward on impact and sprained her wrist on the steering wheel. A representative from GM/Pontiac stated the consumers velocity on impact was too low and she didn't stop fast enough.”
