NEXT PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY AIRBAG SYMBOL POPS UP OFF AND ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WE'LL STAY ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GO OFF AND THEN IT'LL COME BACK ON ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND THEN IT'LL GO OFF AGAIN AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOWN THE STREET JUST RANDOMLY.

STEERING
2009 PONTIAC G6- THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOSS POWER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH AND REVERTED INTO MANUAL STEERING MODE CAUSING EXTREME DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THE DEFECT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN A GM SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT WHICH IS WHAT THE NECESSARY REPAIR THAT IS REQUIRED FOR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED GM/PONTIAC 1-800-762-2737 REPORTING THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN FOR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER FOR THE EPS LOSS OF POWER REFERENCED IS 14116.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN BRAKING. ALSO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND IT WORKS. IT HAS ALSO KICKED OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. BASED ON YOUR WEBSITE THE ISSUES ARE LISTED FOR THE PONTIAC G6 SAAB AND CHEVY MALIBU. BUT BASED ON MY VIN # IT'S NOT INCLUDED. IN CHECKING WITH GM THEY DID THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL BACK IN 2014 ON THIS CAR BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN AND THEY SHOW NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. THE POWER STEERING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH THE PROPER FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CEASES UP. WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED THE STEERING IS NORMAL AGAIN FOR AWHILE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE AND ALSO APPEARS THAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I PUT THE LAST DATE IT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 177,000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE NOW.

STEERING
EVERY TIME I'M TURNING SLIGHTLY RIGHT MY POWER STEERING GOES OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREETS. IF I TURN OFF CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN. I HAD THE COMPUTER RESET AND AFTER ONE DAY IT FAILED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S JUST THE TORQUE SENSOR, COMPUTER OR STEERING COLUMN.
