2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2010 PONTIAC G6 has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to transmission gear position indication and electronic stability control among the recalled concerns.
There are 7 recalls affecting various systems including the transmission shift cable, electronic stability control, brake lights, wiring, and steering components.
Recalls- Transmission shift cable. Recall 12V460000 affects 426,240 vehicles. The tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate, causing the shift lever position to not match the transmission gear. The vehicle may roll away after exiting, increasing crash risk. GM will install a retainer or replace the cable free of charge.
- Brake Apply Sensor circuit. Recall 14V252000 impacts 2,440,524 vehicles. Increased resistance in the Body Control Module connection causes voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor circuit. This can lead to brake lights illuminating incorrectly, cruise control disengagement issues, gear shifter moving out of park without braking, and loss of crash avoidance features. Dealers will modify wiring connections, apply dielectric lubricant, and relearn brake pedal position at no cost.
- Brake lights. Also covered under recall 14V252000 for 2,440,524 vehicles. Voltage fluctuations may cause brake lights to fail to illuminate or stay on without brake application. The repair involves wiring harness adjustments and lubrications explained above.
- Cruise control system. Part of recall 14V252000 for 2,440,524 vehicles. Voltage issues may cause difficulty disengaging the cruise control, linked to the BCM and Brake Apply Sensor faults. Repairs include wiring and software updates performed free.
- Electronic stability control. Included in recall 14V252000 for 2,440,524 vehicles. Malfunction in the Body Control Module may disable traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, raising crash risk. GM addresses this with wiring harness fixes and sensor recalibration.
- Wiring harness and connectors. Under recall 14V252000, 2,440,524 vehicles are affected by increased resistance in BCM connections that disrupt multiple vehicle systems. Dealers apply dielectric lubricant and secure wiring connectors free of charge.
- Steering intermediate shafts. Recall 14E044000 affects 7,304 vehicles with replacement shafts sold by Dorman. The shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing causing premature failure and possible separation. This could lead to complete loss of steering control. Dorman will refund or replace the shafts at no cost.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving critical systems such as steering, transmission, or electronic stability control may want to review their rights under their state’s lemon law.

STEERING
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain replacement intermediate steering shafts sold under the Dorman, OE Solutions, and Solutions brand names, part numbers 425-167, 2425167, and 7-3074, for installation on 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura vehicles. The affected steering shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing resulting in a premature failure.
Risk: A joint bearing that fails prematurely may cause separation of the u-joint resulting in a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Risk: Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Saturn Aura and model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. On these vehicles, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate.
Risk: If the tabs were to fracture and separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to 'PARK' and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in 'PARK.' The vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.
