Traction has been turned off and will not come back on with pressing the traction button. While braking the car pulls quickly to the left, it's really bad while on the highway at a great amount of speed. While braking to go around a curve the steering pulls the other direction then what your turning so you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel

Gerald horne a & a automotive 1620 state St. Florence, al 35630 confidential this man sold me a 2009 Pontiac G6 gxp that he bought at an auction that had been wrecked on July 17, 2017 for $6,000. He told me he would 'fix everything that needed fixing on the car to make it drivable and acceptable before I bought it, ' even saying he would 'provide an oil change.' On July 17, 2017, he delivered car to my home. Car 'looked' pretty good except for the two back 'chrome' (he'd told me 'chrome' but they are plastic) rims. They were scratched really bad. My grandson checked the oil and it was quite low, dirty, and dark. I contacted Mr. Horne and told him I was not happy with the scratched rims and that he needed to perform the oil change he had promised. He said he would replace the rims and perform the oil change. He picked up the car that day or the next day, which would have been July 18, 2017. On July 20, 2017, he delivered the car to the florence, al ymca where my grandson was playing basketball and my grandson drove the car to our home, which is close to downtown florence. [the rims were still the same. He said he could not find any more used rims and would have to order new ones. I told him ok. He has yet to provide those new rims.] we did not check the oil at this time, as horne had given his word the oil was changed at this time, but I do not know if the oil was changed or not, as he said it was. Remember, upon initial delivery, oil was checked and was quite low, dark, and very dirty. Grandson then drove car with me in it to a gas station downtown so I could fill up gas tank. He then drove car to our home. Around 5:00 P.M., he drove car to the florence mall. He left mall at approximately 9:00 P.M. driving home, engine blew, no fault of grandson, almost got him killed by oncoming traffic, he had to swerve into oncoming lane.

Vehicle was in motion on a 45 mph street when power steering became inoperable with an alarm. Sudden loss of control experienced, but no accident. Turned off car and restarted and power steering became operable again. Got vehicle home and next day tried starting and alarm came back on with no power steering. Afraid to drive it and hope there is a recall in the works. Not safe!

The clips that hold the transmission shift linkage have completely snapped. This is a known issue in 4 cyl models and should be extended to 6 cyl models. My car will not go in to park. It will not start. You can actually open the engine compartment and see that the linkage has play. This is incredibly dangerous. I'm thankful we live in a flat area. This is completely unacceptable and someone will end up hurt or dead because of it.

My brake lights will come on when I am driving and will go off when I apply the brakes. Also I will have warning lights come on randomly. Same issues under NHTSA campaign number 14V252000. Dealership has done recall work for this twice they told me and have charged me for the repairs and repairs to my warning lights as well and it is still not fixed. This happens everyday.

My husband drives our 2009 Pontiac G6. For about the last 6 months, we have to wiggle the key in the ignition, while wiggling the steering wheel, in order to be able to turn the key and start the car. I recently googled the problem and came across the gmignitionupdate.com website, as well as other websites with information regarding this recall. The June 2012 recall for sticky ignition switch includes the Pontiac G5 but not the G6. How can we get the G6 included in that recall? up until now, I thought it was just a nuisance but after reading about all the issues with the ignition switches, and the deaths and injuries that have resulted, I'm a lot more concerned about continuing to use the car.

When putting my 2009 Pontiac G6 into park the key, sometimes, gets stuck in the cylinder lock and takes a long time to get it out similar to the issues GM is having with the Chevrolet cobalt and other older vehicles. Because of this, it will not allow me lock the doors. In August, a GM employee submitted a claim on their help the customer website. I took it in but the dealer could not duplicate; therefore, GM would not fix it. When I saw the article in automotive news (www.autonews.com/article/20141211/oem/141219956/GM-offers-fix-on-small-car-ignitions-to-prevent-stuck-keys) indicating that there is a bulletin which GM is offering to repair customers' Chevrolet cobalts and other older small cars to prevent keys from getting stuck in the ignition, I immediately re-opened my case (71_1341032883) with the GM executive office. On January 1, 2015, the key was stuck in the ignition three times (I documented the issue in a video). On January 2nd, I drove the vehicle to the dealership and the key came out. The dealer used a lubricant wd-40 hoping that would resolve the issue. GM says since it is not part of a recall or the bulletin indicate above, they will not fix it. I do not want to leave the vehicle unattended so I work the key until it comes out. Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes to get the key to release but I have been having luck in that area. I have been having this problem on/off for the last 6 years. Since the dealer cannot duplicate, GM will not fix it. Are other G6 owners experiencing the same problem" could G6 Pontiac be included in this bulletin"

On October 7, 2014, as I was waiting for the stop light to change. My car turned off and then on again. On the following day, after I parked my car, I went to start it, and it didn't crank at all. I went to get the battery, starter, and alternator checked, they all passed with flying colors.

I have a 2009 Pontiac G6 GT. Since the time that we have bought our car we have had nothing but problems with the passenger side headlight. We have replaced the pigtails and all the wiring. We replaced the bulb every few weeks for it to only burn out a few days later. No one can tell us why this problem can not be fixed. There have been hundreds maybe thousand of complaints on online forums about headlight problems and even fire and melting of the housing. I am constantly pulled over due to the headlight being out. This is an extremely dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. Without properly working headlights people are going to get seriously injured or kill someone because we can't see properly.

2009 Pontiac G6 low beam headlight failure: "unable to find the problem" as beams work intermittently; my local mechanic replaced left light bulb, but referred me back to dealership as "this was a known defect in this car." Replaced light bulb (repaired (mechanic was unsure, but replaced anyway) and low beams worked a couple of days, now one (right more randomly left), and sometime both low beams fail intermittently. My wife has received one warning from police; headlight was working again when she restarted car after the warning. With increasing frequency both low beam head lights fail while driving at night. These random failures in low beam illumination requires the driver (my wife usually) to immediately switch on high beams. Both high beam lights are working at this time, but these events tend to infuriate oncoming drivers who high beam back at us, so both drivers are blinded. In my opinion, this vehicle is unsafe to drive at any speed at night or in the rain due to random low beam headlight outages. Therefore, we use of the G6 is limited. Though we like the model and had hoped for several more years of use, my wife does not trust the lights will stay on at night, or when it rains. I feel bad about dumping this car on the used/pre-owned car market without filing some form of official complaint. From a brief internet search, the manufacturer (GM) appears to be ignoring this safety issue as a statistically insignificant problem. Sadly, GM will continue to do so until people die and a class action suit is filed. I would not call the Pontiac G6 a lemon, it is just plain too scary to drive under certain conditions. There does not appear to be a solution coming from GM and my mechanic can't fix it. This situation makes this vehicle useless and unsafe half the time, I.e., unsafe at any speed after dark!
