| A few weeks after i bought the car (had 50k) i knew there was something wrong with it i was entering onto the highway and it was hard to get it to 70 the trans was sputtering and the car was jerking. it does this at all speeds just super scary when im on the highway. now i was pulling out onto a main road and it would hardly go and said engine power reduced, service traction. sometimes its not on but it will come back on within a few minutes. when its in this mode it jerks to get it to 25 it feels like the transmission is going it jumps so badly and startles me i scream like a little girl. i made an appointment at gm dealer to look at it they had my car from open to close and told me to come get it and they did not have a chance to look at it. this is a huge safety issue. this car is unsafe. i have a whole list of issues with this car, its junk. i have to hold the key i the on position for up to an 8-9 count for it to start. wheel shakes when i brake, i have new brakes and rotors still does it even though everything is in good repair. right blinker does not turn off on its own, the left sometimes does not work either. i have a head light that keeps going out i've replaced it 3 times in 6 months!! the check engine (check gas cap) light is on. the shop said its some type of leak or air flow problem with the gas system. also sometimes when i turn it on it starts to idle all crazy. this car is to new i take care of it, to be having all these problems im at the shop at least every other week. this car is an unsafe huge annoyance !! *tr | |||

| I have a 2008 pontiac g6 and the electric power steering is going out but pontiac said it was not covered vin# i found this and a letter that seid there is some thing wrong. the extended warranties will cover the 2005, 2006 and 2008 models of the pontiac g6, chevrolet malibu and malibu maxx; the 2008 saturn aura and the 2004-2007 saturn ion. i had a problem with the oil sensor that all the other pontiac g6es had and they seid mine was not covered so i pad to get it fixed now the electric power steering is going out . my wife almost lost control of the car and it is a safety problem and i do not think i should have to pay for there defected part. steering wheel shakes violently when driving and staying still, almost caused an accident. hear is the same thing that is happening to mine go look. http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2008/pontiac/g6/steering .the contact owns a 2008 pontiac g6. the contact stated the steering shakes while driving at any speed and caused the vehicle to swerve. the dealer was contacted and they advised that the 2008 pontiac g6 steering failure was not recalled. the vin information was not available. the vehicle has not been repaired. and steering makes a popping and clunking sound when turning. is getting worse (louder) as time goes on. the noise is now pretty much every time you turn and steering is becoming more stiff. | |||
