2008 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THEN LIGHTS GO OFF MOMENTARILY AND COME BACK ON. OTHER MOTORISTS FOLLOWING CANNOT DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT I AM ACTUALLY BRAKING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. THIS FAILURE HAS YET TO CEASE AND IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AS IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REFUSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A USED 2008 PONTIAC G6. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, IT WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE INSIDE HIS LANE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FEEL HARD, AS IF IT WOULD POSSIBLY LOCK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME AND THERE WERE NEVER ANY WARNING LIGHTS THAT WOULD ILLUMINATE TO INDICATE A POSSIBLE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE WAS REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE MANU…

IN OCTOBER MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS HARD TO KEEP MY CAR IN ONE LANE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEN. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO STEER (LIKE DRIVING AN OLDER MODEL CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING). I DRIVE 90 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO WORK AND TRAVEL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP MY CAR IN ONE LANE. MY STEERING WHEEL POPS. WHEN I STOP MY STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY ON ITS …

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 THAT HAS 20,800 MILES. WHILE TURNING THERE IS A POPPING NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. STEERING WHEEL BEGAN JERKING LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN IDLING AND IS NOW DOING IT WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE POWER STEERING WARNING ON DASH CAME ON. I WILL BE TAKING THIS CAR IN FOR REPAIRS TOMORROW, BUT I BEGAN GOOGLING FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A SILENT RECALL ON THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS OF THE G6, BUT I THINK THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED.

NOW THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN BUT MUCH WORSE, THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER A TURN COMES BACK TO THE RESTING POSITION IN A JERKY FASHION AND CONTINUES GOING LEFT UNTIL IT FINALLY RESTS, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING AND ALL SPEEDS.

STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM CAR. PARKED IT IN A GARAGE AND THE SMELL WAS OVERWHELMING, PROMPTING ME TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LEAK. DISCOVERED THERE WAS IN FACT A FUEL LEAK. FOUND THAT THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL INVOLVING PONTIAC G5 MODELS AND THE FUEL PUMP CRACKING IN STATES WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES, HOWEVER, THE G6 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

UNFORTUNATELY THE G6 IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE G5 IS. BECAUSE OF THE FUEL LEAK, GAS MILEAGE IS SUFFERING GREATLY. G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RECALL. *TR
