SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM SO AGGRAVATED WITH THE PONTIAC COMPANY, I FILED A RECENT COMPLAINT OVER THE PHONE. THE BODY CONTROL MODULAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED BUT BECAUSE MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2014 RECALL THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO IS TRYING TO BLAME IT ON US BECAUSE THE CAR HAS AFTER MARKET ITEMS ON THE CAR WHICH WE DID NOT ADDTO THE CAR, WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM TOYOTA ON NICHOLASVILLE SUPERSTORE THAT STUFF WAS ADDED ALREADY BY SOMEONE ELSE, AND IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WHY IS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON//OFF PROBLEM JUST NOW SHOWING UP SINCE IT WAS A YEAR THIS PAST MAY THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I THINK THAT THE PONTIAC COMPANY JUST DOESN'T WANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM AND WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAMGUNG PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE AND I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ABOUT 114000 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON BUT NO INDICATION AS TO WHY IT IS ON. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ACCORDING TO REPORTS. I HAD SERVICE COMPLETE THE 2 OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE CAR. I ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES ONLY TO TAKE IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE CALIPER ALSO. THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING HOME, I EXPERIENCED VIBRATING IN MY BRAKES WHEN BRAKING. AT THAT TIME NO ABS LIGHT CAME ON OR TC CONTROL LIGHTS, HOWEVER WHEN HUBBY WAS GETTING READY TO TEST DRIVE IT, THE ABS LIGHT AND BOTH TC LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAVE STAYED ON. BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE AT THE MOMENT, I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND CHECKED FOR ADDITIONAL RECALLS (BECAUSE I READ ABOUT ONE ON THIS ISSUE SOMEWHERE THE OTHER DAY WHEN SEARCHING) BUT THEY ASSURED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR SUCH AN ISSUE WITH MY VIN. THE CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT. MY NEXT STEP I GUESS IS TO TAKE IT TO ADVANCE AUTO FOR A SCAN AND SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWS UP :( I DO A LOT OF TRAVELLING SO I NEED A DEPENDABLE/RELIABLE/SAFE VEHICLE. I LOVE THE CAR BUT I DON'T LOVE ALL THE BRAKE ISSUES AND NOT KNOWING WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE PUT NEARLY $1000 INTO MY CAR IN JUST A MATTER OF MONTHS DUE TO BREAKS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TAIL LIGHT RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED IN 2013 - CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. TAIL LIGHTS COME ON WHEN DRIVING AN GO OUT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI LAST NIGHT AS THE BRAKE LAMPS WERE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. DEALER CLOSED OUT THE CASE AS REPAIRED - GM RECALL LINE WILL DO NOTHING AND WANT ME TO PAY $120 AN HOUR TO HAVE THE CAR PUT ONTO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE - I REFUSE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR ANYMORE EXPENSES - I'VE PAID OVER $500 ALREADY BEFORE RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO 2008 MODELS. I WORK AT A GM POWERTRAIN PLANT, THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS UNACCEPTABLE TO MY STANDARDS OF WHAT MANAGEMENT TELLS US QUALITY IS TO GM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER THEIR FIX WAS A JUMP HARNESS AND RE-GREASING OF THE BCM - THAT IS NOT THE FIX THE REAL ISSUE IS THE BCM'S ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED MY GM REFERENCE ID FOR THIS ISSUE IS 8-2214129861. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT WITH NO WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS. ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE IDLING, CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH SCROLLING ON CAR SCREEN TO SERVICE TRACTION SERVICE ESC. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AND ALL TRACTION STABILITY OF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.. PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO GOES.

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. LAST YEAR HAD THE TORQUE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WITH A RECALL THAT CAUSED THE SAME ISSUE. 9 MONTHS LATER THE STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED SHAKING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND NOW THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM MODULE. $700 TO FIX. THEY SAID IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL( WHICH SOME RESEARCH SAID THIS MIGHT HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL) AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER.

STEERING
POWER STEERING EIC LIGHT GOES OFF AT THE TIME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR PONTIAC AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS RECALLA FOR 06 PONTIAN G6. SO I CALL PONTIAC AND THEY SAY MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? MY 2OO6 PONTIAC G6 IS DOING THE EXACT THING THAT THE OTHER 2OO6 PONTIAC G6 ARE DOING, YET NOT COVERED. ON CHRISTMAS EVE OF 2O15, OUR STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHEN MY HUSBAND, 9 YEAR OLD SON AND I WERE DRIVING HOME.

STEERING
IN 2014 I RECIEVED A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THEY "FIXED" IT. CHARGED IT UNDER WARRANTY INSTEAD OF RECALL. 2 YEARS LATER, SAME ISSUE, STEERING GOES OUT, I HAD NO CRASH OR ACCIDENT BUT CANT STEER. TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF, COMES BACK ON. CALL EVERYONE LISTED ON THE RECALL WEBSITES AND THEY TELL ME NO RECALL? SO I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON, THEY "FIXED" POWER STEERING YET THE PART LASTS ONLY 2 YEARS AND I AM RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED WITH A BAD POWER STEERING PROBLEM. SO IF THEY FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL, LABLE IT UNDER WARRANTY, GOES OUT 2 YEARS LATER, THAN WHAT HAPPENS? I HATE THIS CAR!
