ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BARELY BEEN WORKING. EVER SINCE I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THEM AND HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED PLUS WIRING REDONE MORE THAN 3 TIMES. EACH TIME MY LOW BEAMS GO OUT. IT STARTED WITH ONE WORKING AND ONE NOT, AND QUICKLY LED TO BOTH GOING ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS, ALONG WITH MY FRIENDS MOM HAVING THE SAME EXACT CAR, DIFFERENT YEAR MIND YOU BUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS AND CAN'T COME ACROSS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR GM. MY INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY LIGHTS, AS THEY WON'T WORK NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FIX THEM. MY HIGH BEAMS DO SO I'VE BEEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THEM. I'M MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL MAJOR ANXIETY AND UNEASE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HAVE REPLACED BULBS IN HEADLIGHTS AND THE CONNECTORS YET THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL STILL NOT TURN ON HAVE TO USE BRIGHTS AND THEY SOMETIMES DONT WORK. THE FUEL SENSOR ON THE GAS TANK KEEPS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND CAUSING ENGINE TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS COMING ON WHEN ALL BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH CALIPERS AND ROTORS.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS MAKES STEERING HARD AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IN SOME CASES, DEPENDING ON THE DRIVER. ALSO DEPENDING ON IF THE VEHICLE IS IN A CURVE WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUITS, WHEN THIS IS THE CASE IT ALMOST CAUSES A WRECK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND KEEPS OCCURRING. I HAVE READ LOTS OF MANY OTHER OWNERS'S ACCOUNTS OF EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES YOU CAN STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT'LL BE OKAY BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED LOTS ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I'M GOING TO PUT THE FIRST INCIDENT AS THE DATE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON RANDOMLY AND STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES, CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ONLY FIX FOR NOW IS TO GREASE CIRCUIT, BUT I HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THAT EVERY FEW WEEKS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN GIVING MY WIFE ISSUES WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, ABS SENSOR COMES ON, AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR START TO DIM. THIS HAS CAUSED HER TO NEARLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A POWER ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS MORE BEHIND THE ISSUE. WHENEVER I CALLED MY GM DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSORS IN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES. SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY GM OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND HAD TO CALL THEM DIRECTLY TO FIND OUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE, MY VEHICLE HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE VIBRATES IN A CERTAIN PATTERN WHEN ABOVE 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. ALL 4 STRUTS ARE NEW, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, SWAY BAR LINKS, CONTROL ARMS BOTH UPPER AND LOWER, ALL BRAKE ROTORS ARE NEW. CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY ANYONE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF (CODE GIVEN IS FOR RUNNING LEAN) BUT NO MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP HAVE FOUND WHY IT'S HAPPENING. ONE DEALERSHIP EVEN TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE CARS ECU. SO THEY TOLD ME TO VERIFY IF MY CAR HAD ANY RECALLS. PLEASE, ANY HELP ABOUT THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH NOW (TODAY'S DATE 5/9/19)

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH ANYTHING LIKE THIS, I TRUELY FEEL BOTH GM MANUFACTURERS AND CUSTOMERS SERVICE ASSOCIATES HAVE A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE LIFE AND SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE HAD MY G6 PONTIAC FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE LAST 2 WEEKS FINDING OUT ALL THE MONEY I SPENT ON THE CAR IS NOTHING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTER REFUSES TO FIX THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY THAT THEY ADVERTISE AS FREE WITHIN THE RECALL AFTER MY LOCAL GMC MECHANIC AT DONOVAN AUTO HAS TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOW SAYS I NEED $400 FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR THATS THE PART MESSING UP THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY IS THE PART THE NHTSA AND GM ADVERTISES CAN BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE THEN HOW ON A MOTOR VEHICLE DEFECT IS CUSTOMER CHARGED MAINTENANCE THEY ADVERTISE IN THE RECALL AS FREE NOW I AM COMPLETLY WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND CANT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WITH THESE G6 PONTIACS WITH THE STEERING RECALL. WILL ALSO BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION HAVE PUT 10 GRAND INTO THIS VEHICLE AND WAS PROMISED IT WAS SAFE AND HAD LONGEVITY ONLY HAD IT 3 YEARS AND NOW BECAUSE OF THE RECALL THEY CANT EVEN FIX IT I HAVE NO CAR AND NOW WILL LOSE MY JOB MY CREDIT AND MY WHOLE LIFE IS COMPLETLY REVOLVING AROUND THE CAR GOING TO PAY WITH MY LIFE TO OWN A CAR THAT KILLS ME.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
RECENTLY WHEN I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE UP IT WAS SHOWING "SERVICE ESC" ON THE DASH. AND IT WOULD RUN ROUGH AND EXECUTE LOW POWER WHEN MOBILE. THIS WOULD OCCUR EVERY OTHER DAY FOR A MONTH, AND AS OF TODAY IS UNDRIVABLE. AFTER HAVING IT ELECTRONICALLY DIAGNOSED, IT NEEDS A NEW COMPUTER AND IS COMPLETELY UNDRIVABLE UNTIL A NEW ONE IS INSTALLED AND PROGRAMMED. WHY IS MY VIN # NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL?
