STEERING
THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, I DID RESEARCH TO FIND OUT IT WAS ELECTRICAL. IT WENT OFF AND ON BEFORE STAYING OFF MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE OBVIOUSLY. IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE FOR MY SON AND I TO GET TO WORK IN. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AS WELL. I HAVE HAD MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, REPLACING HEADLIGHT AFTER HEADLIGHT, STARTER, ETC. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST OR TORQUE ASSEMBLY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. A RECALL TO FIX THESE ISSUES NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE!

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED ON I480. THE DRIVER THEN FLAGGED ME OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD .HE INFORMED ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. COME TO FIND OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND GOING OUT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS STARTED AGAIN. I SAY AGAIN BECAUSE TWICE I HAVE HAD DEALERSHIPS REPAIR THIS FIX UNDER THE RECALL. THE RECALL FIX IS FAULTY. GM IS AWARE OF THIS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY ARE KNOWINGLY PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER. I HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN MY CAR. I REPAIR AND MAINTAIN IT PROPERLY. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO SUPPORT THIS FACT. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO BE RESPONSIBLE THAT MY LIFE IS NOT IN DANGER WHEN I AM PROPERLY OPERATING THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

STEERING
MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING DANGEROUSLY STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT DOES SO AT RANDOM AND WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS WITH MY HUSBAND, DRIVING ON I-5 AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHEN THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY GOES OFF, WE ALMOST DIED IN THAT HIGHWAY AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY USE THE WHEEL DUE TO THE HIGH ENERGY IT REQUIRES TO TURN. AFTER THE INCIDENT I URGENTLY CALLED PONTIAC RIGHT WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER SOMEWHERE, AND EXPLAINED WHAT JUST HAPPENED. BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS, AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. GM TOLD ME TO GO TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN COST. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFERRED ME TO (IN ALBANY, OR) BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE ME WAIT ON THE PHONE ONLY TO HANG UP ON ME AFTER 15 MINUTES. TO GIVE MORE DETAIL ON HOW THIS ISSUE HAPPENS, WHILE I DRIVE THE CAR AT SOME POINT THE POWER GOES OFF, THE SIGNAL TURNS ON AND I HEAR 3 SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE ONES THE CAR DOES WHEN A SEAT BELT IS NOT PROPERLY PLUGGED IN. IT DOES THIS AT RANDOM, AND IN THE MOST DANGEROUS MOMENTS, SUCH AS WHILE NEEDING TO TURN, OR WHILE DRIVING FAST ON A HIGHWAY. STILL TO THIS DAY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR FIXED, OR EVEN LOOKED AT BY A GM DEALERSHIP SINCE I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL WITHOUT RISKING MY LIFE. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT NHTSA AND I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO PUT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THIS LIFE THREATENING TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE. I AM CONSIDERING PRESSING CHARGES IF MY LAWYER DEEMS IT TO BE THE BEST NEXT STEP FOR MY CASE. BUT PLEASE, IN ORDER TO PROTECT AMERICANS THAT OWN MY SAME CAR NEED TO BE ALERTED IMMEDIATELY, THEIR CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PROPERLY FIXED BY THE AUTOMAKER. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION AS LIVES WILL BE LOST IF NO ONE DOES ANYTHING. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ALL DETAILS YOU NEED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK. -[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
