ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ADVISED CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID IS BAD, TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICHLE TO SHUT DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED SUCH AS THE EXPRESSWAY.

STEERING
THERE IS A BUMPING OR CLUNKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY AT LOW SPEED OR WHILE STILL, AS IF THERE IS A LINKAGE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS CAR, AS GM HAS ISSUED TSB #06-02-32-007F. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS A STEERING ISSUE, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL TO CORRECT OR REPAIR?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, NOW I SMELL IT WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. THEY SAID IT WAS EITHER THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE CRACKED ON THE FUEL PUMP OR THE MODULE. THEY SAID THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 G6. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. GM NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. GM HAS HAD RECALLS ON PRIOR YEARS OF THE G6 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAULTED OUT IN MY CAR WITH NO WARNING. CAR WAS PARKED THANK GOD CAR STARTED GAVE POWER STEERING FAULT STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE AND CAR WOULD NOT EITHER. TAKEN TO SHOP WHEN KICKED BACK IN AFTER RESTARTING CAR 9 TIMES. PARKED AT DEALERSHIP THEN DID NOT MOVE SINCE HAD TO BE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS DONE.
