AIR BAGS, SEATS
"SERVICE AIR BAG" COMES ACROSS THE DIC INDICATING IT NEEDS SERVICE DONE TO IT. TURN VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHT GOES AWAY. IF THE CAR IS TURNED ON (TRIED MANY TIMES) AND SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE SERVICE MESSAGE COMES ON AFTER A FEW TRIES. ALL CONNECTORS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND LIQUIDS HAVE NOT BEEN SPILLED ON THE SEATS.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE EVENING OF JANUARY.24TH,2017 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING HOME AND WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE A SEMI PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME I NOTICED THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE NOT REDUCING THEIR SPEED & THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME BUT SWERVED TO AVOID IT THEN LAID ON THEIR HORN CUSSING ME BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING UNTIL I LET OFF THE BRAKES THEY CAME ON AND STAYED ON, SO I PULLED OVER PUT CAR IN PARK MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND WAS CHECKING THINGS OUT AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS LIKE THEY HAD A MIND OF THEIR OWN. SO I CALLED FOR MY FATHER IN LAW TO COME FOLLOW ME HOME SO THAT I WOULD NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR MY GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK! SO I SHUT CAR OFF LET IT SET FOR 30 MINUTES STARTED BACK UP AND MY IGNITION GOT STUCK AND CONTINUED CRANKING OVER EVEN AFTER STARTED, AND NOW IT SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUOUS THING WITH MY CAR, MY STEERING IS MAKING A NOISE ALMOST LIKE MY WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. I AM SCARED THIS IS A DEATH TRAP

STEERING
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HAD ZERO POWER STEERING. SHE WAS ABLE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND HAD STEERING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE MORE BUT THEN THE SAME THING! WE HAD A RECALL DONE A YEAR AGO ON THE TORQUE SENSOR STEERING COLUMN - WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK WHEN PICKING UP THE CAR. NOW THEY SAY IT IS THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE - SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I'M GUESSING ANY PONTIAC G6 HAS POTENTIAL TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TORQUE SENSOR STEERING COLUMN AND PONTIAC DOES NOT CARE. *TR

STEERING
FOUR MONTHS AGO, WE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH THE POWER STEERING. BORCHERDING BUICK SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD US THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING COLUMN, BUT, WAIT UNTIL IT ACTS UP MORE AND THEY CAN FIX IT. JANUARY 11, 2017 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE BORCHERDING DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US A LOANER AND TYPED IN THE REPAIR WORK. LATER THAT DAY, WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THE, THE SPECIAL COVERAGE IS OUT OF PARAMETER BECAUSE THE RECALL EXPIRED 1-31-2015. THE ITEM DEFECTIVE WAS THE POWER STEERING MODULE, WHICH GM AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED WHEN THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. WE FEEL IT IS UNETHICAL FOR GM NOT TO STAND BEHIND THE RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! JEFF BOYER V.P. OF VEHICLE SAFETY IN A PREVIOUS LETTER STATED, "HE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART, AND NO WAY COULD WE HAVE PREVENTED THIS OR HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE AND REPAIRED IT. THE INCIDENT OCCURED AS WE WERE LEAVING A RESIDENCE, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! *CN

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY CAR WAS RUNNING JUST FINE. ALL OF A SUDDEN ON A VERY RAINY NIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT CATCH GEAR IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO RUN SMOOTHLY. ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATER WHEN I GOT TO THE FREEWAY IT DROVE SMOOTHLY. THE NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STARTED BURNING. I STOPPED TO LET IT COOL AND CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS, EVERYTHING WAS OK. I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR 10 MINUTES TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE. WHILE REVERSING A LOT POP HAPPENED. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AND PINK FLUID WAS RUNNING DOWN THE PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER AN HOUR I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A RELATIVES HOUSE AFTER REFILLING THE CAR WITH POWER STEERING FLUID. AFTER 2 HOURS OF SITTING WE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO MY HOUSE AND AS WE LEFT THE CAR LOCKED UP. THE ENGINE RAN BUT THE TIRES WERE GETTING NO ROTATION. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHILE A MECHANIC TOOK THE BRAKE CALIBER AND BRAKE PADS OFF, SO WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY. I AM PAYING ON A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD FOR SIX MONTHS AND IS NOT WORKING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN YOU PUSH BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD. WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING IF YOU TAP BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT FOR 5 SECONDS THEN COME BACK ON. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE.

I HAD BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED AND HAD COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED 3 TIMES NOW AND PROBLEM PERSIST. GM 2014 RECALL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IS NOT A FIX. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
