FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS IS LEAKING (FAIRLY STEADY FLOW) NEAR REAR DRIVER-SIDE TIRE WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING, IN PARK OR DRIVE, STOPS LEAKING ONCE CAR IS OFF. THIS APPEARS LIKE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY #12191B, BUT ACCORDING TO GM MY VIN IS NOT IN SYSTEM AS BEING COVERED. GM WILL NOT COVER UNLESS I TAKE CARE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I WONT TAKE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS SINCE IT COULD CATCH FIRE UNTIL I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE COVERED. VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 100K MILES.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. YOU WILL JUST BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CITY STREET OR INTERSTATE AND THE CAR WILL DING," THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON" AND YOU ARE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES, MY SON STATED HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. THAT IS NOT THE CASE SINCE 2/10/2016, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT I AM TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IT IS DOING EVERYTHING THE RECALL STATES, IT IS ONE OF THE MAKES AND MODELS SPECIFIED AND YET I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? THIS IS MY SON'S CAR, HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING, IT TAKES GREAT EFFORT TO TURN AND YOU DEFINITELY CANNOT MAKE ANY TIGHT TURNS, IT WAS ALL WE COULD DO TO GET IT HOME. MY SON STATED IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

AIR BAGS
STARTED CAR (2009 PONTIAC G5) WITH 55,907 MILEAGE MORNING OF 02/15/2015 AND VEHICLE DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND SHOWED RED AIRBAG DASH SYMBOL WHICH DID NOT TURN OFF INDICATING AIRBAGS WERE OFF AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. CAR ALSO DISPLAYS "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" EVEN IN THE INSTANCE THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST WEEK. I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE EVEN AFTER IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH THE RECENT RECALL. I WAS NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THAT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED SO I'M THINKING THERE IS A CONNECTION THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE TO OCCUR. BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT ALL. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS IT HAS CAUSED MANY INJURIES AND DEATHS. *TR
