“As I was pulling into work, my car dinged three times, then power steering was flashed on my radio and my steering wheel locked up! Unable to drive my car, I had it towed to a mechanic and the estimated repairs would cost $900! This is a horrible car, as this is just one of the few problems I am having with this vehicle. Every time I turn the steering wheel, something in the steering system is making it clank, and when I turn the wheel back it will clank again. …”

“I leased a 06' Pontiac G6 in june of 06' and I've had nothing but problems with the car since I got it. On 2/16/08 I was on my way to florida for vacation and I was half way there when I noticed the brakes were grinding. I only have 26,000 miles on my car and this was the first long distance to ever be driven with my car.

“On 2/28/09 I noticed that my steering wheel was pulling severely to the left, while it felt like the rest of the car was pulling to the right. This got progressively worse and was difficult to control the car when turning corners. Decided not to take the interstate. Heard a loud thump and car veered to the left. The entire left wheel assembly had fallen off the car while I was driving on a busy street in heavy traffic. When the tire and assembly came off it pushed out the left front fender and bent it from the weight of everything coming apart. …”

“I started having problems with my car vibrating in august 2006. I took it to the dealership. They said they were unable to duplicate the problem. Approximately three weeks later I took it to the dealership again. This time I rode with the mechanic. He said it was vibrating because it was out of balance. I had the car balanced and then it began pulling to the left and continued to vibrate. I took it to the dealership again. This time they said it needed to be aligned. I had the car aligned. The care still pulled to the left. At that time they said they would need to talk with a manager. …”
