POWER TRAIN
MY CARS POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AND I'VE NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 09S AND EARLIER BUT NOT ON A 2010. I HAVE HAD ISSUES DRIVING WITH IT LIKE THAT. I LIVE IN NORTHERN IDAHO WHERE THE ROADS ARE ICY, SLUSHY AND SLIPPERY AND IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. WITH THE POWER STEERING OUT IT IS HARD TO CORRECT MY SLIDES AND ALMOST MAKES IT WORSE AND REALLY HARD TO CONTROL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE RECALL ISN'T ON THE 2010S YET. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

STEERING
I WAS BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED. LUCKILY NO CRASH OCCURRED. TRIED CONTACTING GM AND THEY SAID BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL NOTICE THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE FROM THIS FACTORY HAS DEALT WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR MORE VEHICLES. *TR

STEERING
AFTER GETTING THE RECALL PART REPLACED (STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR) I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, MY LIGHT CAME ON IN THE RADIO DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO RIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME I NEED MY POWER STEERING MODULE REPLACED WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY 500+ TO REPLACE IT. I FEEL GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PART AS IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE STEERING ASIST, WHICH THEY KNOW HAS PROBLEMS. I CALLED AROUND TO AUTO STORES AND YOU CAN NOT BUY THE PART AND DO IT YOURSELF - YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT. GM SHOULD PUT THIS PART ON THE RECALL BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY IS DOING THE SAME THING THEY RECALLED THE TORQUE SENSOR ON. PLEASE HELP!!!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PULLED INTO GROCERY STORE GENTLEMAN CAME OVER TO ME AND SAID SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH EITHER MY TAILLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS, THEY DISAPPEAR WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKE. THEN ON JAN. 13TH, REC'D PHONE CALL FROM SHERIFF'S DEPT. SOMEONE TURNED IN MY PLATE NUMBER SO THEY COULD INFORM ME MY TAIL LIGHTS OR BAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. TOOK THE CAR IN AND IT COULDN'T BE WORKED ON THAT NEXT DAY. ANYWAY I DID HAVE SOME RECALLS, AND WHEN PARTS AVAILABLE TOOK TO THE DEALER AND ALL 3 RECALLS WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. ONE RECALL I KNOW WAS REGARDING SOMETHING WITH REAR LIGHTING. HAD NO PROBLEMS AND NO COMPLAINTS BEFORE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. ALL I KNOW IS THE TWO GOOD CITIZENS WERE WORRIED ABOUT ME GETTING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AND I AM DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DEALER CAN'T FIT ME IN UNTIL WED. THE JAN 21, AND IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T FIX AND GOT PAID FOR. I TRIED TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND IT APPEARED AFTER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, MY TAIL LIGHT FADED OUT FOR AWHILE AND GRADUALLY CAME BACK ON. SO IT APPEARS I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS. ONE RECALL WAS POWER STEERING AND THAT IS JUST FINE, BUT THE OTHER TWO I DON'T EXACTLY RECALL WHAT THEY WERE. MY MAIN CONCERN, IS I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT ALL 3 RECALLS WERE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW MY 2005 G6 HESITATES AND JERKS SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN I PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION. FROM 0-10 MPH THE CAR TAKES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO GAIN ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE LEVEL OF DEPRESSION APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, INCLUDING A GM DEALER. NOT A SINGLE MECHANIC INCLUDING GM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I CALLED GM TO PLACE A COMPLAINT, AND I STUPIDLY THOUGHT WITH ALL THE GM ISSUES AND LAW SUITS GOING ON NOW POSSIBLY THEIR ASSISTANCE AS 1) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. 2) MY CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 63K IN MILEAGE. I EXPLAINED TO GM THAT I CANNOT AT THIS TIME SAFELY ACCELERATE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY SHOULD I GOD FORBID HAVE TO. I REQUESTED THEM TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AS THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO SPEND MORE MONEY AND TAKE IT TO ANOTHER GM DEALER TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE. TOLD THEM THAT'S STUPID,4 MECHANICS INCLUDING A DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE ISSUE. LIKE MY STEERING ISSUE (BEFORE THE RECENT RECALL) GM BASICALLY TOLD ME TO DROP DEAD. THE GM REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IF NO MECHANIC CAN FIND IT, MAYBE ITS TIME FOR A NEW CAR. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM STOP WORKING, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE THE BLOWER WAS WORKING WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER SAID NOTHING IS WRONG..TOOK THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME THING...I SLOWLY LOST ALL DIAL CONTROL 1-3 EXCEPT 4...IN 2009 GM RECALLED 2007 SILVERADO'S TRUCKS FOR SAME THING THE G6 BLOWER MOTOR WAS DOING. WHY IS GM ALOUD TO CHERRY PICK WHO GETS THEIR CAR FIXED AND WHO DOESN'T...2. AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND SAYS TO SERVICE AIR BAG, SO I CALL MY GM DEALER HE HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT I WAS SAYING. I TOOK A PICTURE WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON , SHOWED THE PICTURE TO THE DEALER AND BECAUSE IT DID NOT DO THAT WHILE LOOKING AT THE CAR, AGAIN THEY SAY CAN'T SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH IT...IT STILL HAPPENS, AND I AM VERY AFRAID OF THE AIR BAG ISSUE'S. BEGINNING TO THINK GM DEALERS ARE WORKING WITH GM TO AVOID REPAIRS, AS MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT DO IT WHEN THEY LOOK AT IT , NOTHING IS WRONG...DON'T FEEL SAFE, MY CHILDREN ARE INFORMED, IF I GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT THEY KNOW WHERE TO LOOK, AND WHO TO GO AFTER..

AIR BAGS
MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 HAD APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT FIRST CAME ON. IN THE BEGINNING, THE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND SEEMED TO BE LINKED TO A SENSOR MALFUNCTION IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CERTAIN SEAT POSITIONS AND PASSENGERS (WEIGHT?) COULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE RIDE. OVER A PERIOD OF MANY MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY CLICK ON. EVENTUALLY, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS NOW ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 400$, WITHOUT REPLACING THE ACTUAL AIR BAG IF NECESSARY. ON ANOTHER VISIT AT GM FOR A RECALL, I WAS TOLD THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THESE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE SOLD FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO MORE THAN JUST GM. I WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS SO THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND GM WOULD KNOW. I AM HOPING THAT UPON YOUR INVESTIGATION, GM WILL COMMIT TO A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, AIR BAGS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A POWER TRAIN OR EXTENDED WARRANTY (LIKE HOW RUST IS COVERED) AS THEY ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF PASSENGER SAFETY. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, FLOODED, SET ON FIRE, STOLEN, OR HAD ANY WORK ON INTERIOR SEATING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I NEVER SPILLED ANYTHING IN THE INTERIOR OR HAD ANYTHING IN THE CAR THAT COULD "PULL WIRES" OR CAUSE ANY FORESEEABLE DAMAGE. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH WHEN I HEARD THE RINGING SOUND ON MY DASHBOARD INDICATING POWER STEERING. THE STEERING WAS BLOCKED. BECAUSE IT WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BY THE ROAD SIDE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I AM HAVING TO DO THIS EVERYDAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT TURNS ON. WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ON THE STEERING IS BLOCKED, I CANT TURN THE CAR. FROM DECEMBER 20 2014 TILL THIS DAY, THIS OCCURS ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES A DAY WITH MY CAR. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 4 DOOR SEDAN G6 WITH POWER DOOR LOCKS - THE LEFT REAR POWER DOOR LOCK HAS QUIT CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REACH ACROSS THE SEAT TO LOCK / UNLOCK THE DOOR = NOT IDEAL IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MY INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS CLICKING AND GRINDING INSIDE THE COLUMN AND THE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS CONTINUES TO MELT CAUSING THE HEADLIGHT TO GO DIM = ALL OF THESE SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARDS NEED RECALL. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON DEC. 30TH AFTER AN OIL CHANGE THE WARNING SYSTEM ON THE DASH HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON AND CENTER CONSOLE SAID THE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDED SERVICE. THIS HOWEVER WENT AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN AT HOME AND NEVER CAME BACK TILL TODAY JAN. 8TH, 2015 WHEN THERE WAS A PASSENGER BUT AGAIN WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF AFTER A 5.9 MILE TRIP, THE DASH INDICATOR READ PASSENGER SYSTEM WAS NOT ENGAGED DURING SAID TRIP. THE STARTING MILEAGE ON THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS 129033.3 AND THE FIRST WAS APPROXIMATELY 410 MILES PRIOR. I CAN PROVIDE THIS NUMBER IF NEEDED AS IT WAS RECORDED FOR THE OIL CHANGE. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO TWO OTHER RECALLS ONE IS 13036 THE OTHER 14152, AND WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING STARTED I WAS ALREADY AWAITING SERVICE ON THESE. AS I RECALL THE REPORTS RECENTLY IN THE NEWS RELATED TO FAILINGS IN THE PASSENGER SYSTEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE TIED TO THAT SIDE AS IT DID NOT ENGAGE AS I READ IT. *TR

STEERING
THERE IS A RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN ON PONTIAC G6'S DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE RECALL NUMBER IS #140115. I CALLED A GM DEALER TO SCHEDULE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT IS CLEARLY RECALLED. I ALSO SEE ON THE RECALL WEBSITE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE WHEEL SHAKES BAD WHILE DRIVING AND MAKES A NOISE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THESE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND PONTIAC/GM DEALERS NEED TO REPLACE IT NOT MAKE ME PAY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT THEY PUT IN THE CAR. *TR
