#2438 of 2458 06 Pontiac G6 GT gear shift stuck in park by zeb4212

Nov 08, 2010 (9:39 am)

The gear shift is very difficult and sometimes impossible to come out of park. This has been during cold weather only. The button will not go in all the way. After lots of attempts of pushing in the button and the outside air warming, it can be shifted. Also, there are times when the key will not come out of the ignition switch. We have 2 keys and it happens with both of them. At one point, we were able to push it in a little and then pull it out, but now that doesn't work either.
It makes sense that these 2 things are related since you aren't supposed to be able to put the car in gear unless the car is running and you aren't supposed to be able to get the key out if the car is not in park.

zeb4212,
Have you taken your vehicle in to the dealer? How long have you been experiencing this problem? Can you please e-mail me with your Edmunds username, complete contact information, VIN, and current mileage? I look forward to your response.

purd8445,
Have you had any progress with the dealer? Has the issue been resolved? If your dealer is unable to fix the problem for you, you can always seek a second opinion from a different dealer. Please update me on your situation, thanks.

Just the intermediate shaft, needs some lube.

My fiance' is a mechanic for GM. I've been telling him about my steering, especially on cold mornings, where at low speeds, it feels harder to turn one direction than the other. A slight clunking noise .. just felt weird. He found out there was a special bulletin that came out summer 2010 for G6 steering problem and the entire steering column needs replaced. GM paid for the exchange and I've had no problems since. Maybe this will help you.

#2444 of 2458 Would these issue be covered under TSB's by nomoreford2

Nov 22, 2010 (10:51 am)

Have a 2009 G6 GXP Sedan with 45,500 miles
-1 Tire pressure monitor is bad
-Clunk/knock sound front right drivers side when going over bumps
-Power steering seems like its shuddering when trying to make a full turn of the wheel in either direction and fluid is full
-Slight buzzing sound coming from the right side when in overdrive that seems to go in sync with the acceleration , if i speed up it goes away during the acceleration and comes back once the car is in 6th gear, mainly heard 40-70 mph
 
I have seen alot of TSB's on the car that relate to most of these issues, does GM TSB's only apply during the 3yr/36K miles or could these issues be covered since the car is just 1.5 yrs old.

Your over on mileage. TSB's are just for service personnel information.
You might try your dealer if you have good relations, like all you maintenance done there. They are called good will repairs.
