The traction light is coming on and going off intermittently. The power steering went out and reverted to manual steering. Sensor codes are intermittently coming up when the check engine light is lit. Problem with the evac system. There are problems with the starter engaging longer than it should. The ignition switch moves more than it should. These problems have happened while driving and also stationary. The power steering went out while my teenage son was driving down the street which was dangerous.

My car started smelling of gas. Another mechanic noticed a slow gas leak. I took it to the dealer and was told it's the fuel pump. I see that a recall had been done on earlier years of my model but not the 2010. Given that there has been no impact to the vehicle, it appears to be a defect in the car.

A few months ago I started smelling fuel from my parked vehicle. As time has gone on it has gotten worse, and my car is beginning to lose power and fail to run properly. I have been informed by a mechanic that the smell is coming from a small fuel leak coming from a connector on the fuel pump assembly. This issue seems to be identical to the issue described in recall #09V419000. I have heard from other G6 owners and they seem to have this issue as well.

Vehicle once a while does not want to start. Starter is cranking and nothing is happening. Then you let it stand for a while and vehicle starts without any problem. No problem for a couple weeks and does it again. Yesterday it stall on highway it was very unsafe and after few minutes restarted with no problem. No warning lights on dashboard and no obd codes. Lot more people have the same problem and GM dealers are not able to figure it out.

My 2010 Pontiac G6 has had recalls for electrical problems. Even after taking it to have those recalls corrected, we are still having electrical issues with out 2010 Pontiac G6. Headlights are not wanting to stay on, you hit it and it comes on, have been pulled over for headlight out due to this problem. Also having electrical problem issues when starting the vehicle. It does not want to start to bad connection in the fuse box in the trunk not kicking on the gas pump. Car actually shut off due to this issue on the route 68 a major highway that runs through cumberland, md. Very scary situation, just thanking god that there were no vehicles behind me at the time this occurred when there very well could have been, including tractor and trailers that drive that road. This situation needs addressed and corrected. It was recalled for this and taken to have the recall corrected and now having the same issues with the vehicle that we had before. We are not able to trade this vehicle in for another vehicle at this time, money is the issue. So problem needs fixed before someone is seriously or fatality hurt.

Recently noticed fuel smell coming from vehicle. Aware of recall done in 2012 for issue with fuel pump I believe this is a related issue.

On May 9, 2016, I was heading to my home when my car stalled briefly in the middle of a major roadway, 220 North, cumberland, Maryland 21502. Luckily my vehicle re-engaged within a minute in order for me to avoid being hit by any tractor and trailer traffic that was steadily approaching me. Needless to say I was petrified during this time thing I was going to be demolished and die in my car!!! there is an issue with the relay connection from the fuse box in the trunk of the pontiact G 6 to the fuel pump which has caused my car to not start on several occassions. We have had it looked at and from everything we have seen and done nothing fixes this problem, not even replacing the fuse box, fuel pump, fuses, etc. Yesterday was the first time it semi stalled in the middle of a major roadway almost causing a major accident. This is a Pontiac issue I have seen several complaints of this issue with this vehicle online. This is a safety hazard and needs to be dealt with through a recal from the Pontiac manufacturer. And from what I have researched and found that replacing the wiring harness and fuse box is only a temporary fix so if ponitaic is unable to fix this serious problem, they need to trade all Pontiac G6 for a vehicle of equal value!!! at this point I am thoroughly frustrated and pissed off with this problem that has not been recalled on these vehicles!!! it is a shame that it will take someone losing their life for the problem to be handled!!! I have had this problem for quite some time now with no permanent soluation, I have missed work due to this problem and have been late on several occassions due to this problem. The worst thing that has happened was yesterday on a major roadway stalling with tractor and trailer traffic coming up behind me.
