Pontiac G6 Electrical System Safety Report | May 10, 2010
Reported on May 10, 2010
| I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6, WHILE DRIVING THE VEH ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO FLASH ON AND OFF OF THE VEH TO INCLUDE THE SECURITY, TEMP AND BATTERY LIGHTS. THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL HOWEVER STAY ON, ALSO AT THIS TIME THE MESSAGE DISPLAY WILL BEGIN TO DISPLAY NEARLY EVERY MESSAGE THAT IS POSSIBLE, THEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF SPEED THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND STAY OUT FOR VARIOUS PERIODS OF TIME. THIS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED 1 TIME , WE TOOK THE VEH TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WOULD SHUT DOWN AFTER REACHING A CERTAIN TEMP SO THEY REPLACED IT, IT WAS FINE ABOUT 1 MONTH BEFORE BEGINNING TO DO THE SAME THING THIS TIME ON A VERY FREQUENTLY ALMOST TO THE POINT IT DOES IT NOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES MADE TO PONTIAC/GM BY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND GM SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES ON THE ROADWAY, BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT AS SOON AS THE INCIDENT MAKES THE NEWS YOU CAN BE ASSURED ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE GOING TO THE NEWS SAYING THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF GM AND THE NHTSA. *TR | |
