2005 PONTIAC G6 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2005 Pontiac G6 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the automatic transmission's shift cable, which can fracture without warning and leave the driver unable to change gears, remove the ignition key, or shift into Park. On the steering side, vehicles with electric power steering can suddenly lose steering assist while driving, making the wheel noticeably heavier and harder to turn. A warning message and chime alert the driver when this happens, but full manual effort is required to steer until the vehicle is serviced. Two recalls cover the same brake lamp problem: corroded or faulty electrical connections can cause the brake lights to stay on when the pedal is not pressed, or to not light up at all when it is, which can confuse following drivers or mask a stop. These same faults can also disrupt cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and stability control.
