I WAS MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN IN A PARKING LOT. THE CAR STALLED AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. I SAW THAT THE RPMS HAD DROPPED TO ZERO. EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND I CONTINUED. A VERY FUNNY AND SCARY FEW SECONDS. I SEE BY READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW G6. *JB

WHEN I LEFT MY HOME 2 BLOCKS AWAY I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND COMPLETED THE STOP. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN MIDWAY THROUGH THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS LESS THAN A .25 MILE AWAY. DURING MY BRIEF TRIP THE STEERING NEVER RETURNED AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN RUFF. THERE WAS ONE REPAIR REGARDING MY POWER STEERING DONE. A PART WAS REPLACED IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE A SERVO MOTOR DEALING WITH THE ELE…

I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY JERKED OUT OF MY HAND. THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT NOTIFIED ME THAT MY POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT. MY CAR HAS ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WORKED ON FOR SEVERAL HOURS BY A MECHANIC, HE STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPMENT TO FIX IT. UPON STARTING IT UP LATER THAT NIGHT, IT DROVE PROPERLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE POWER. *TR UPDATE (10/5/08): VERY DIFFICULT TO …

WE STARTED SMELLING GAS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE 8-27-12 AND COULD NOT LOCATE THE GAS LEAK. THEN ON SUNDAY 8-26-12 MY DAUGHTER DROVE UP AND THE SMELL OF GAS WAS OVERWHELMING. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW GAS RUNNING THROUGH THE VENTS IN THE METAL SHIELD COVERING THE GAS TANK. THE CAR WAS PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. I DID A ONLINE SEARCH FOR A GAS LEAK FOR THE 2005 G6 AND COULD ONLY FIND REFERENCE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2007 AND LATER MODELS. I CALLED TWO GM DEALERS AND THEY SHOWED NO RECALLS…

HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE CAR UNLESS THEY COULD PHYSICALLY SEE THAT THE STEERING WAS ACTING UP.
