“My brake lights will occasionally turn on when my foot isn't on the brakes whethr the car is moving or not, and then they turn off when I do put my foot on the brakes. Sometimes it seems to be caused by applying the brakes hard or if the ABS are needed. Cruise control will sometimes not engage at all or will shut off in the middle of driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11025051, filed 2017-09, 71,000 miles“I have owned my 2010 Pontiac G6 for approximately 2 years. Numerous times while driving, the vehicle will lose power and the steering will lock up. After locking up, the service ESC, power steering, and traction control lights all illuminate. The steering will remain locked up until you shut the vehicle down and restart it. Sometimes it will take turning the vehicle on and off multiple times. I have had this happen in many times while driving; however more times than not it occurs in curves or while making a turn. …”
NHTSA complaint #11197038, filed 2019-04, 190,000 miles“I had an incident in 2013 that might come in to play with a recent recall. I own a 2010 Pontiac G6. As I was driving down a main road traveling at an average speed of 45mph my vehicle became impaired. The dash screen projected service ESC/ low traction.

To cure the fix the recall(12106) called for a retainer to be added to the cable to prevent the breakage from occurring. Recently not even two years later as I was pulling into my apartment complex driveway the shifter cable broke causing the my steering and drivability to be impaired. I was able to apply the brakes, but I could not drive the vehicle any further. I put the car in park and exited my vehicle to check out the problem as my car started to roll away. …”
NHTSA complaint #10695097, filed 2015-03, 120,000 miles“I have noticed that sometimes my car pulls when I am at rest and driving. Today, I sat in my car to get some heat on my lunch break. My car began to shake violently and messages and lights popped up. The engine, tcs and ESC lights came on. I turned it off and crank it again and I could hear the engine rattling. That happened around 1 pm. I got off around 730 pm tonight and as I drove the car rode good for about 2 miles and then it began to slow down and all of these warnings popped up regarding traction and powering down. I pulled over sat and crank my car and the engine rattled horribly. …”
