My car has been recalled twice due to electric steering. The power steering intermittently keeps going out well driving and or just starting the car. I have contacted the dealership and they only guarantee the parts replaced for 90 days. So they aren't backing the parts put on to make the vehicle safer. The car also has severe electrical issues. It has locked me in the car and has service air bag notices. The gauges go out well driving.

The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac G6. While driving at any speed and depressing the brake pedal, the brake lights went off and came back on when the brake pedal was released. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the roy robinson Chevrolet dealer (6616 35th ave, ne, marysville, wa 98271), but the failure could not be duplicated. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the gear was placed in neutral while the engine was running. The technician diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and issued a "special repair notice to the vehicle owners". the failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

ABS and traction control lights on dash came on during a routine drive, and remain on. Had mechanic inspect- concluded that both sensors working, malfunction due to no electricity being delivered. As a result, critical crash avoidance features (both anti-lock brake and traction control are critical) are disabled / failing. Repair would require tracing wire back to point of issue. Before having a private mechanic address, I learned of recall for this specific issue (NHTSA campaign number: 14V252000) effective Aug 18, 2014, whereby GM to address wiring harness with spacers and dielectrical lubricant. Contacted General Motors on this and told no open recall; told that it was already addressed by service at devan Chevrolet, wilton ct on Aug 13, 2015. I do acknowledge that I had the car at that dealer / service center on that date for another matter- I had no issues or symptoms with ABS and traction control while its possible that during that visit they actioned the remedy detailed in the recall, however, as there was no noted issue at that time, I am not sure they did anything that made a difference. Now that the symptoms are persistent, GM appears to declare no repair is required under the recall.

To whom it may concern: On November 03, 2017, my 2006 Pontiac G6 gtp, automobile was involved in an accident that flipped and crashed and causing serious injuries. The vehicle was going straight on the hwy and the car lost steering power and the car went to the right of the hwy. I was surprised to learn at that time there has been several recalls issued on this vehicle. Since purchasing this vehicle in 2013, I have only received one recall notice in 2015 and I took my Pontiac 06 G6 gtp to oaks GMC dealer to be fixed by GM, and I was not aware of any other recalls about the power steering until I found research through NHTSA after the accident, NHTSA recall identification number 15V064000,

Recall 13036 including special coverage 16188 did not fix my vehicle. My vehicle has the following problems... -service brake lamps illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied -service brake lamps will not illuminate when the service brakes are applied -cruise control will not engage (the above conditions have happened when the car is in motion, stationary, on streets, highways, turning and braking.) -vehicle will shift out of park without the service brakes being applied these above conditions are the exact conditions that recall 13036 was to have fixed. The dealership addressed this recall earlier this year, and the vehicle is still having problems. I cannot get my vehicle back from the dealership because it is a violation of federal law to deliver the vehicle to me until the defect is remedied. Service technician says the BCM (body control module) needs replaced. The vehicle went in for recall, the recall didnt fix the problem. I took the vehicle back and am told that 1) the problem is the BCM and 2) I cant have the vehicle back until the problem is fixed. I am not satisfied. The vehicle problem is not remedied. I am having to pay to get the vehicle remedied. Pontiac customer service refers me to the NHTSA. The vehicle is a safety hazard to the driver and any passengers, as well as fellow motorists around the vehicle. I am upset that a large corporation would not take the time to make sure my vehicle is safe, after not fixing a recall. The NHTSA campaign id number for this recall is 14V252. Thank you

Driving on way home from work, whole trip nothing over 45 mph, the traction control off light came on and stayed on. Its the light with tc and a slash trough it. The light turns off when the car is in park or neutral but comes on when shifter is in reverse or drive. After the light came on I noticed extremely sluggish engine performance, extremely hard shifting all the way through 4th gear with bad slams coming from the transmission. After about 30 mins of driving with the light still on, the check engine light comes on and I can barely get going from a stop light. I parked it for the night to work on it the next day, and to my surprise the next morning the tc off light was gone and after about 10 mins of driving the check engine light goes out and the car runs and drives like normal. The next day it all happened over again with all the same issues and then the warning lights went out again and the car ran fine. Then for a third day it all happened again and now the engine seems to have no power, I might as well be pushing the car down the street. This happened in the middle of my drives on a normal no wet weather day. The dealership and a private garage tried reading the codes through the connector under my stearing wheel and no bodies reader can connect to the ECU. I checked all the fuses and relays and none are blown or damaged. I know the G6 had recalls for this issue a few years ago and my car wasn't included in this but it sounds like the same issue. I can get under the car and look for any melted wires or ground faults but I wouldnt know where to begin. Looking online there are thousands of people experiencing this same exact issue. Tc off light coming on and check engine light coming on with an expensive repair or no solution available. This is causing my vehicle to have little to no acceleration and really spotty shifting. It happens everyday at random times.

Officer told me that the brakes would come on while driving and the brake lights would go off while braking. My cruise control no longer works and I have to push the brakes in further to get the car out of park. The officer stated that the vehicle is unsafe to be operating.

There are 3 different areas that I assume are the cause of my car's problems. First the passenger side air bag is has stayed off, regardless of passengers being present since 2014, I believe. Using the key does not change the air bag status. Also this may be part of the electrical area, but at around the same time my cruise control also malfunctioned. The car was in motion when I realized both things. Also I've had problems with traction control coming on out of no where, and instead of the engine speed being reduced, the car will not move at all. Sometimes it will like reset after I pull over and wait for over 10 minutes, but it will come back on repeatedly. I have to pull over wait restart, pull over wait restart several times within a usual 20 minute drive at times. Also I'm having problems with the air compressor staying engaged. My car kind of bogs down when the compressor does kick in, and it repeatedly kicks on and off while driving any distance at all. Also the interior lights flicker constantly. The message center on the radio constantly says that I have low coolant, but that is an error message. In the suspension area my whole front end(struts, ball bearings, etc) seem to be bad. When I drive over a small bump the whole car shutters and pulls wildly to one side or the other. It feels like my tires hit into the rim itself over speed bumps when I am driving merely 10 miles per hour.

I received a letter in March of 2017 advising me of a possible problem with a BCM could cause a problem with the brake lights of my vehicle. The letter states that I should not take the vehicle to a dealer for repairs unless I was certain the problem existed. The letter went on to explain that GM would extend the warranty on this vehicle to cover the needed repairs if the problem were to show as long as it was less than 15 years, or 150,000 miles from the date the vehicle was originally put in to service. The thing that insults me is that I had the vehicle in a dealer shop a couple of months prior to getting this letter to have a power steering problem diagnosed. Anytime a vehicle is taken to a dealer the mileage is recorded and therefore GM knew, or should have known before sending the letter that my vehicle was already beyond the mileage they were allowing in the extended warranty. If this was such a problem I would thing GM should cover it no matter the amount of time on the road or the number of miles. Attached are both the dealer shop ticket showing the VIN, date and mileage when the vehicle was diagnosed for a steering issue, and the extended warranty letter limiting the mileage to less than what GM should have known was on the vehicle when the letter was mailed.

On approximately 13 different occasions over the last 2 months (while on a city street at 25mph, and while on a state highway with a speed limit of 65mph) all instrument panel gauges go crazy and suddenly dropped to zero. 'power steering' message and 'low fuel' light (had a full tank of gas) was shown on the radio message center, along with warning sounds, and 'error' was displayed in the odometer window. Gauges continued fluctuating repeatedly from normal and/or correct ranges, to zero, and continued sounding/showing warning sounds and error messages for approx 5-6 minutes. Then all gauges dropped to zero and stayed there, car engine was cutting in and out and radio stopped working. Pulled off the road, did not have a loss of power steering. Parked car, shut off, removed key, opened door and restarted car. Drove fine (no issues) for approximately 5 miles and then the same thing happened again, this time radio stayed on and engine did not cut out, guages returned to normal after about 2-3 minutes of intermittent fluctuating, error messages disappeared from message center without having to shut off car, but traction control light showed it was off and I could not turn back on - traction control worked after car was turned off and then restarted a short time later. Recall repair for power steering torque sensor was completed at a local dealership approximately 2 years ago, in 2015. Two mechanics in area could not find codes that were thrown but state that it is probably the part or a part pertaining to the recalled torque sensor, but could not confirm.

Re: Pontiac 2006 -G6 GT elect. System, elect. Stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control --- this car was recalled for above problems in 2014. At that time I brought car to dealer to be fixed, although the car was not in need of repair because no problems had existed, dealer stated he fixed all recall problems at that time. Now two years later I am experiencing all the listed problems above. I took car to mechanic where he did replace parts but still experiencing problem. It must go back to dealer so problem can be alleviated. Brake lights do not go on when braking also when applying gas they sometimes go on. Cruise control is also not working. What's to say that this problem was never fixed in 2014 when the car was recalled due to the fact that I wasn't having any issues at that time. Had do I know the work was ever done the first time around since I was not in the service area and I had no problems with the car. What's to say I was handed an itemized list of all corrected parts and indeed it was never fixed. I called Pontiac and was told since it was replaced with recall I have to now pay out of pocket. According to NHTSA -they have been working to reduce deaths and injuries on the roadways to make it safer for the public. They also need to be on the customers side and not the side of the dealer.

The air bag doesn't work and the light flashes "service airbag, " and, while pumping the brakes to stop, you have to pumps twice before the car reacts to the command. I had the pads replaced but the car operates the same as before.

My brake lights are not working properly. They stay on and turn off when I press the brakes and randomly turn on and off as I drive down the road or even just sitting still. I have had my car serviced and every time it is an issue with BCM. When I was notified of the recall on that issue, I took my car to the dealership, but what they did did not fix the issue. It did, but only temporarily.
