While driving display flashed about 4 alerts, from traction system, ABS brakes engine would shut off, and I would lose power steering. This happened around a dozen times in the span of a week. I was able to pull the car over, by using all of my strength on the steering wheel, and shut the car off, then restart it. I had to take it in to the mechanic and they had to replace the computer, and some other parts costing over $800.

Was driving down E. grand river and got maybe 5 miles down the road and it felt like I hit something and I could not keep my steering straight. It got tight all of a sudden and was hard to turn. It was not a flat as all tires look fine. And all belts believe to be fine. Power steering fluid is fine. This happened on July 30, 2014.

When doing 60, my car would shut off while driving suddenly in the middle of the highway and I would lose power steering and would have to fight steering to get off the road to prevent accident. I would never know when it would happen it just did without warning. This happen multiple times until one day it wouldn't start. I called harper motors, where I bought the car in 2006 and they came and took my car to fix it in 2010. They had to replace my ignition switch and replace my computer. It cost me over 800dols. Don't know why my car wasn't put in the GM recall but it should have. I thank god that I wasn't on a major hwy. Each time this happened.

I have a recall on my car that I want fixed the steering is acting up but nothing has happened yet.

- Battle Creek, MI, USA

I was driving home from work and when I turned a corner, the engine cut out. I believe it was from the key flipping to accessory. I've heard that this has caused crashes that have killed people and would like this fixed. This is the first time it happened, but now I'm worried every time I drive it that this is going to happen and I don't feel safe letting my wife drive the car now. Why are the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles not part of the recall from GM?

- Green Bay, WI, USA

The transmission slips and bangs bad after driving around 65 mph then slowing down and turning on an off ramp trans fluid temp is about 195 degrees at time of incident. This slip happens in low gears sometimes as well after driving around on short trips. Also, replaced gear shift sprague lock something two times already. Also the ac heater fan motor has burned out, now new one works intermittently.

I have had 3 service lights come on: Service antilock brake system, service variable steering effort, service traction control. I took the car to my mechanic who suggested that the traction system component be replaced by a dealer and that there was a recall associated with the steering component of this vehicle. I have not received a recall notice ever regarding this. Now, I am dealing with repairs. The caveat and danger here is that the steering is a vital component to driving abilities and without proper steering and traction control there could be an accident. I have contacted GM regarding this problem and they state that this vehicle is not associated with a recall; that is not what my mechanic has advised me. He said there was a recall on 2005-2006 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Bought a "nice" used Pontiac Grand Prix gxp in 2008 (an 06 model). The car only had around 17,000 miles on it. This car has been the biggest money pit ever. I am so disappointed with this vehicle. I have prided myself in buying american made vehicles, but not anymore! first of all, the tire sizing and the price of the tires, ridiculous! the power steering line broke, and of course it wasn't the line that was covered under recall, there has always been a noise in the front end, especially going at a slower speed and over bumps, kind of popping, I've always felt that there was something wrong in the front end. In Oct. 2010, the hubs and bearings were replaced, they were still under warranty, but we had to pay a deductible, which was quite a bit, then in July 2011, with 60,000 some odd miles on it, the traction control light, the ABS light came on, took it to the dealership, they say it's a sensor, in the left hub (that we just had changed, less than a year ago), the warrant had ran out on it, so we paid almost 500 to replace that, then surprise, surprise, it has happened again the lights are back on! also, sometimes when I accelerate at say a stop sign or stop light, there's sort of a "grabbing" and the car doesn't want to go, like it could be the transmission slipping. These are actually just a few of the things that I've had go wrong, there's been odds and ends things that of course have cost a fortune to fix, everything on this car is...oh, the tie rod end, that was something else that had to be replaced...I could go on and on money pit. I want to get rid of it, but it's one of those things, I've got too much invested in it..I'd never get out of it what I need..no wonder they no longer produce Pontiac. From the things I've read, it seems that I am not the only person who has had trouble out of this vehicle. It seems as though there should have been alot more recalls.

The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. He heard a rattling noise in the front end of the vehicle while driving 10 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they replaced components in the steering shaft, unknown to the contact. The contact continued to hear the rattling noise in the vehicle and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they replaced an unknown component in the vehicle. The vehicle was released to the contact with the same rattling noise. The contact investigated the vehicle further and found that the lower ball joints were failing. The dealer verified the lower ball joints were worn out and they were replaced under warranty at 33,000 miles. Within 12,00 miles, the rattling noise was back but would only occur while traveling over any uneven road surface. No additional repairs were made to the vehicle. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 33,000 and the current was 46,000.

2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 34,200 miles on it. Brake system light on, antilock brake system (ABS) light on. Traction control light on, service brake/ABS/traction/stability message displayed. This happened all at once this morning, car felt like it didn't want to stop. No warning! I only commute 10 miles to work each day with this vehicle. This shouldn't be happening with a fairly new car right? traded my Camry for this car. Tried to stay american!!! I would also like to state that I had trouble stopping, when trying to turn a corner and apply brake. (just two days ago) felt like a knocking under brake pedal. Looking back I wonder if this could be related. I bought this car brand new, from in york, pa. I am afraid to drive this car, and I don't see how this problem is related to everyday use. I feel cheated and unsafe.

My power steering went on my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix that I purchased from a dealership on 09/22/07. When I first got the car the steering column was making noises. Dealer repaired and all of a sudden in April my wheel got tight and I contacted the dealer and they said there wasn't nothing much they can do and for me to bring the car in for inspection. I was unable to bring it in due to work schedule conflicts. My husband was driving and the wheel locked up and resulted in my car flipping over and a loss of total damage to the car. There were 4 passengers and we all climbed out of the back window while the car was flipped upside down. Me and the other 2 passengers were transported to the er via ambulance.

I am writing a complaint regarding my car. I purchased the vehicle in 2006. I had to replace the stabilizer pin, wheel bearings, front brakes and it seems like something is wrong in the steering wheel. Parts inside of the car are falling off. I've had to buy new tires due to all these front end problems with the car and not knowing until it has caused a problem somewhere else. Now the tires that I purchased about a 1 1/2 year ago is now very worn from these front end problems with the car. I am very upset because I feel like, I have been robbed. I am a single parent working 2 full-time jobs just to pay for a car that seems to be breaking down on me no matter how much I try to take total care of it. Paying a very costly car note, insurance, and warranty. I tell myself is this what I am working so hard to pay for. This car out weighs what I pay for rent each month. I remember a time that Pontiac made good cars that was built to last as long as you take care of it. Now it seems that it is built to break down before you could pay there vehicles off. I am really furious and outraged with this car that I can't really rely on. Updated 06/02/09.
