STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (BAYIRD CHEVROLET, 3299 US-51, COVINGTON, TN 38019, (901) 476-2277) SERVICED A MANUFACTURER RECALL, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR FLASHING AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHEN REVERSING. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET THE COMPUTER EACH TIME THE FAILURES OCCURRED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED AGAIN TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 HAS HAD RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. EVEN AFTER TAKING IT TO HAVE THOSE RECALLS CORRECTED, WE ARE STILL HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH OUT 2010 PONTIAC G6. HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WANTING TO STAY ON, YOU HIT IT AND IT COMES ON, HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR HEADLIGHT OUT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. ALSO HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ISSUES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT WANT TO START TO BAD CONNECTION IN THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK NOT KICKING ON THE GAS PUMP. CAR ACTUALLY SHUT OFF DUE TO THIS ISSUE ON THE ROUTE 68 A MAJOR HIGHWAY THAT RUNS THROUGH CUMBERLAND, MD. VERY SCARY SITUATION, JUST THANKING GOD THAT THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED WHEN THERE VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN, INCLUDING TRACTOR AND TRAILERS THAT DRIVE THAT ROAD. THIS SITUATION NEEDS ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. IT WAS RECALLED FOR THIS AND TAKEN TO HAVE THE RECALL CORRECTED AND NOW HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WE HAD BEFORE. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, MONEY IS THE ISSUE. SO PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY OR FATALITY HURT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT NEW-USED 2010 PONTIAC G6 WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES ON IT (2 PREVIOUS OWNERS) AND LESS THAN 7 MONTHS LATEE, I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT SHORTING OUT. REPLACED BULBS MANY TIMES, ONLY FOR IT TO GO OUT AGAIN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER. THEN, THE NOTICED THE SOCKET WAS CORRODED AND MELTED. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INFO AND CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. YET, NO RECALL! APPARENTLY THESE CONNECTORS WERE MADE WITH WIRES TOO CLOSE TOGETHER, AND SO THEY GET TOO HOT AND THEN SHORT OUT. SO EVEN REPLACING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT HARNESS WILL PROVE USLESS, AS IT WILL JUST CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WITH THE NEW ONE. AT A LOSS AS HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT OR GET MY CAR INSPECTED BECAUSE OF THIS . AS FAR AS WHEN IT STARTED, THE BULBS SEEMED TO GO OUT WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON TO GO SOMEWHERE, ID NOTICE THE BULB WAS OUT. NEVER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 WHEN I HEARD ABUT THE RECALL I TYPED MY VIN# INTO THIS WESITE AND IT SHOWED MY CAR WASNT UNDER THIS RECALL , HOWEVER MY POWER STEERING IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT IS LISTED UNDER THE RECALL. WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE THEN OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE DRIVING IT TIGHTENS UP AND BARELY ALLOWS U TO MAKE TURNS. THIS HAS HAPPEND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL AS WELL AS CITY STREETS. IM NOT SURE WHY 2006-2009 MODELS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR BUT APPARENTLY WHLIE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM THE 2007 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I TOOK TO A A GM CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I CAN $850 TO HAVE FIXED .. CLEARLY I DONT HAVE THAT TYPE OF MONEY AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY WHEN ITS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR WHY THE G6 HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR FURTHER MORE WHY MY MAIN QUESTION IS WHY THE 2007 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED WHEN CLEARLY ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.. NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ABOUT A RESOLUTION WHICH IS VERY FUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS HAS BEEN GOIN ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

STEERING
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AT LEAST POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURES SINCE NEW. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL THE LAST TIME IT WAS WORKED ON AND PERFORMED AS EXPECTED UNTIL MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM WORK ONE EVENING AND ONCE AGAIN THE STEERING WENT OUT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AT BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH, AND COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND TALKED TO GM AND PONTIAC ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY ALL CLAIM SINCE IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL AND ALMOST 2 YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE THAT I AM ON MY OWN. THEY REFUSE TO HELP OR MAKE GOOD ON THEIR REPAIR CLAIMING THAT THEY APPARENTLY ARE ALRIGHT WITH A NEW PART FAILING AT ABOUT 24 MONTHS AND ABOUT 50,000 MILES AS THEY STATE SINCE THE RECALL REPAIR. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM, I FEEL I AM BEING UNFAIRLY IGNORED IN MY REQUEST FOR REPAIRS TO BE MADE AGAIN UNDER THE RECALL SINCE APPARENTLY THE INSTALLED PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH OF 2017 ADVISING ME OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH A BCM COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNLESS I WAS CERTAIN THE PROBLEM EXISTED. THE LETTER WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT GM WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE TO COVER THE NEEDED REPAIRS IF THE PROBLEM WERE TO SHOW AS LONG AS IT WAS LESS THAN 15 YEARS, OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN TO SERVICE. THE THING THAT INSULTS ME IS THAT I HAD THE VEHICLE IN A DEALER SHOP A COUPLE OF MONTHS PRIOR TO GETTING THIS LETTER TO HAVE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. ANYTIME A VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO A DEALER THE MILEAGE IS RECORDED AND THEREFORE GM KNEW, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE SENDING THE LETTER THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY BEYOND THE MILEAGE THEY WERE ALLOWING IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF THIS WAS SUCH A PROBLEM I WOULD THING GM SHOULD COVER IT NO MATTER THE AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE ROAD OR THE NUMBER OF MILES. ATTACHED ARE BOTH THE DEALER SHOP TICKET SHOWING THE VIN, DATE AND MILEAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FOR A STEERING ISSUE, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER LIMITING THE MILEAGE TO LESS THAN WHAT GM SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WAS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LETTER WAS MAILED.
