EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
ACCORDING TO RECALL #08317 BY GENERAL MOTORS, THE BRAKE LAMPS ON A 2005 PONTIAC G6 WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY DUE TO FRETTING CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR WITHIN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO VAN CHEVROLET OF KANSAS CITY, MO TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD DUE TO THE FRETTING CORROSION THE BCM NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THIS DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE BCM WITHOUT A FEE AND REFUSED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE SHOP WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING DEFECTIVE. THIS WOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED IF NOT FOR THE FRETTING CORROSION AS STATED BY THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE. GENERAL MOTORS AND ANY GM DEALERSHIPS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND MY STEERING WENT OUT, I HAD NO MORE POWER STEERING, I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND ON AGAIN THEN IT WORKED OK, LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN ABOUT A 10 MILE STRETCH IT TOOK FOREVER TO WORK AGAIN, I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I HEAR THEIR ARE MORE INCIDENTS RELATED TO MINE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RECALL BUT PONTIAC SAYS IT IS NOT! SO WHY ARE THEIR SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR CAR? I HEARD THAT THE 2007 MODELS WENT BACK TO A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, NOT LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEARS THAT HAVE ELECTRIC STEERING.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND LOVED IT TIL I STARTED HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. COME TO FIND OUT IT HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP, WHICH WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS FAILING CAUSING THE LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ITS BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO PAY THE CAR EVERY MONTH BUT NOW TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENT AS THE WARRANTY IS UP, IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. HOPING THEY AREN'T WAITING FOR A FATALITY BEFORE THEY ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

STEERING, EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. SINCE PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. I RECENTLY REPLACED THE WHOLE COLUMN (ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO) AND IT IS AGAIN MAKING CLUNKING NOISES. A CAR EXPERT FRIEND WHO DROVE THE CAR YESTERDAY NOTED THAT IT SEEMS TO BOTH DRAG AND HAVE TOO MUCH 'PLAY'. THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AT 110,000 MILES AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM. *TR
