About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
At around 51,000 miles my Pontiac G6 (2007) began veering to the left and locking up. I heard a clunking noise several days before this happened when I turned the wheel from left to right. The clunk started off somewhat quiet and then got louder and cause it to become difficult to turn. When I would brake the car would shake and the steering wheel would turn left and right rapidly on it's own. I had all my brake pads replaced, even though the mechanic said there was nothing wrong with the brakes. I had the steering rack replaced. The problem went away for 3 months and then returned. The steering wheel began locking again making it difficult to recover from a normal turn. I had the steering rack replaced again. Now 6 weeks later the clunking and shaking and steering problems are back. Complaints of this problem are all over the internet. I have had this steering rack replaced 2 times and now it needs to be done again. All these replacements have happened over a 9 month period. It is extremely dangerous to drive when this happens and needs to be addressed.-

On October 31,2008 I was in an automobile accident where I was going approximately 30 mph when I hit someone straight on from behind. My airbag did not deploy, nor did my seat belt lock up. I was taken to the hospital where I was told I had a minor concussion, and neck and shoulder sprain. My head hit the steering wheel twice.

Air bag sensor does not turn off airbag when a small child sits in the front seat. There is a 359 unit recall on this make/model for this defect but dealer states it doesn't cover my car and that airbag should turn on when passenger weight exceeds 30-40 pounds. NHTSA campaign id: 07V146000.
