STEERING
I HAD A RECALL DONE FOR THE STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED BY THE PART REPLACEMENT. IN FACT, I CONTINUE TO LOSE STEERING AT LOW SPEED AND DURING PARK. THE RECALL WAS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM REPLACED A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE NOW. WHEN IS GM GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY NOT TO MENTION TO THE PUBLIC. GM ARE YOU FOR REAL? PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ELECTRICAL SPASMS. ALL GAUGES(INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND TAC) FLAKE OUT, BOUNCE AROUND, GO TO ZERO. TRACTION CONTROL SHUTS DOWN. HVAC ELECTRICAL GOES OUT. NO WAY TO SEE OUT WINDSHIELD AS DEFROST WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS OCCURS. WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AN OFF AND ON AGAIN ETC. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. VERY UNSAFE AND RELATES VERY WELL WITH RECALL ALREADY MADE BY GM ON 05/15/2014 FOR 2007 G6 BUT NOT FOR MY G6??? HOW??? I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND CAN'T GET THEM TO TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY. DEALER DID ACTUALLY FIX ONE PROBLEM ONCE WHEN THE BLOWER FAN WOULD COME ON WHENEVER IT FELT LIKE IT EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF, KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, DOORS LOCKED, AND US WALKING AWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD A FEW DEAD BATTERY INSTANCES. ACTUALLY HAD A DEALER AND GM INVOLVED. DEALER WANTED TO HAVE A BLANK CHECK TO CONTINUE TO DO DIAGNOSTICS AFTER HAVING SEE THE PROBLEM AND EXTRACTED 17 ERROR CODES FROM THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, ASKED GM WHO HAD NO IDEA, AND WANTED ME TO LET THEM DIAGNOSE WITH NO LIMIT. UNBELIEVABLE. MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET.
