STEERING
ON DECEMBER 26TH, 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I FELT A STRONG JERK AND THE CAR WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THE CAR JERKED INTO THE ADJACENT LANE ALMOST HITTING A CAR WHO BRAKE TO AVOID ME. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURNED IT OFF. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING SEEMED TO BE FINE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUES AND NOW I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
REPLACEMENT PART (CABLE KIT # 23238001) UNDER RECALL 14152 HAS SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED AND AS A RESULT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE ORIGINAL SAFETY CONCERN WHICH STATES, "IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION MAY NOT MATCH THE INDICATED GEAR AND THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE IN AN UNINTENDED OR UNEXPECTED DIRECTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE DRIVER GOES TO STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE, DESPITE SELECTING THE 'PARK' POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT BE IN 'PARK.' IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE "PARK" POSITION THERE IS A RISK THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY AS THE DRIVER AND OTHER OCCUPANTS EXIT THE VEHICLE OR ANYTIME THEREAFTER. A VEHICLE ROLLAWAY INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO EXITING OCCUPANTS AND BYSTANDERS." THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO A FAILURE OF A RETAINING RING AT THE ENGINE END OF THE CABLE LINKAGE THAT IS TO SECURELY ATTACH TO A POST ON THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE FORTUNATELY WAS ON LEVEL GROUND AND STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY. VEHICLE WOULD START NORMALLY BUT COULD NOT BE PUT IN GEAR DUE TO THE ISSUE. REQUESTED DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE UNDER THE RECALL BUT DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE SINCE IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE.

STEERING
MY CAR HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL OF POWER STEERING PROBLEMS, AND THAT RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN EARLY 2014. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015, NOW A LITTLE LATER THAN A YEAR, I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEMS OF THE RECALL. WHICH IS "YOUR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH EPS MAY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. IF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND A CHIME SOUNDS TO INFORM THE DRIVER. STEERING CONTROL CAN BE MAINTAINED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO A MANUAL STEERING MODE, BUT WOULD REQUIRE GREATER DRIVER EFFORT AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH.". MY CAR HAS THESE EXACT ISSUES EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN "FIXED 2 YEARS AGO". I BELIEVE MY CAR WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED IN A CORRECT WAY, OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE IN SAFETY HAZARD TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WHOSE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING. NOW I AM BEING FORCED TO ACTUALLY GET IT FIXED FROM A GM DEALERSHIP OUT OF POCKET. THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, BECAUSE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY "FIXED" 2 YEARS AGO I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I AM NO BEING FORCED TO PAY $575 TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY. AS IT SHOULD ALREADY BE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN AS GM ADVERTISES. *TR

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I HAD THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR REPLACED BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. WHILE RESEARCHING, I FOUND A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT COME UP WHEN I PUT IN MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. IT IS RECALL NHTSA # 14V153000. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN GET THIS ISSUE FIXED UNDER THIS RECALL. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY CAR AS THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE NOTICEABLE FROM 10 OR MORE FEET AWAY FROM VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OR RUNNING. CANNOT PARK IN GARAGE DUE TO STRONG FUEL SMELL. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OVERFILLED. SMELL HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE FOR MANY MONTHS BUT IS GETTING STRONGER LATELY.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND TURNING RIGHT DOWN ANOTHER STREET MY DIC FLASHED ERROR MESSAGE POWER STEERING. WHILE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AS OF YET ON 12/26/2016, I HAVE LOOKED INTO THE RECALLS REGARDING ALL OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE PONTIAC G6 WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ISSUE. IT CONCERNS ME DEEPLY. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVES IT TO WORK DAILY, TAKES OUR 17 YEAR OLD TO WORK, AND DRIVES OUR 4 AND 10 YEAR OLDS PLACES TOO. I'M FEARING FOR THERE LIVES KNOWING THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE POWER STEERING COULD GO OUT AND CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHILE KNOWING THAT ALMOST ALL OTHER G6'S ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EXCEPT OURS IS VERY UPSETTING. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THIS TO A GM DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING FOR FREE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF ME, MY FAMILY, OTHER G6 OWNERS NOT ON THE RECALL, AND OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY TRACY CHEVROLET IN OCTOBER 2014 AS PART OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. AT THE TIME IT WAS REPLACED THE CAR HAD 140,000 MILES ON IT AND CURRENTLY HAS 160,000 MILES ON IT.. SO AFTER 20,000 MILES THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD.. AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALER I'M TOLD THEY REPLACED IT AND THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY ONE YEAR. HOWEVER, FOR THIS PART TO GO BAD SO SOON MAKES ME QUESTION IF IT WAS EVER REPLACED OR REPLACED WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME SORT OF HELP WITH THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE CAR WENT 140,000 MILES BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED AND ONLY 20,000 WITH THE "NEW SENSOR"??

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING
COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY THE CARS STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT LET ME TURN IT NOR WOULD MY BRAKE WORK. THE CAR DID A COMPLETE 360 AND SMASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ONLY GOING 40 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME AND PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR. FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, THE MECHANIC AND DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WHEN THEY PLUGGED THE CAR INTO THE ELECTRICAL CODE FINDER THAT THEY COULD NOT GENERATE A CODE THAT SHOWED THE WHEEL OR CAR LOCKED UP.
