SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELING ON I-480, IN THE STATE OF OHIO, THE BRAKES ON MY G6 WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS HAPPENED UNTIL I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND A MAN WHO WAS TRAVELING BEHIND ME TOLD ME WHAT HE OBSERVED. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON AS I DROVE; AND NOT ON WHILE BRAKING (EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF HOW BRAKE LAMPS SHOULD OPERATE). I WENT HOME, TESTED THE BRAKES AGAIN, AND THEY DID EXACTLY AS HE SAID. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON. I REPEATED THE SAME ACTION 3 TIMES AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN TO WORK PROPERLY. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM DATED JULY 2014 APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO. THE HEADING OF THE LETTER STATES, "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL." UPON RECEIPT OF THE LETTER, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL 13036. ALTHOUGH THE LETTER PLAINLY STATES THAT MY CAR IS RECALLED, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED I MUST WAIT UNTIL THEY HAD THE INFORMATION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAD NOT BEEN AN ISSUE AT THE TIME, AND I WAS WILLING TO WAIT. HOWEVER, I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGING, AND I TURNED IT OFF, AND DID NOT USE IT AGAIN, AS I FOUND THAT TO BE AN EASILY REMEDIED PATCH. THE RECALL INCLUDES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, WHICH AFFECTS BOTH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND MY BRAKES. I CALLED GM TODAY AND THEY GOT IN TOUCH WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR TO USE TODAY UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. UPON RETURNING HOME, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP ADVISING GM MAY NOT PAY FOR THE RENTAL. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. MY TWO CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN RUN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK WHILE TRAVELING ON THIS BUSY FREEWAY. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND I HOPE NO LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A PROBLEM CREATED BY GM. UPDATED 4/24/15 *JS

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WAS DRIVING AND, CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND KEPT MISSING GEARS. RPMS WERE UP, EXHAUST WAS UP BUT CAR WOULD NOT CATCH AND WHEN I WAS GOING TO PARK MY CAR IN THE GARAGE MY CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE AT ALL, SO I HAD TO PUSH IT INTO THE GARAGE. UPON SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL PONTIAC G6 OWNERS, IT IS SAID THAT THE 3,5 R WAVE PLATE WAS VERY WEAK, WHICH MADE THIS TRANSMISSION PRONE TO FAILURE IN GM PRODUCTS. UPDATED WAVE PLATES WERE RELEASED FOR CLUTCHES IN 6T70, THE OLD DESIGN WAVE PLATES WEREN'T STRESS RELIEVED AND COULD BREAK WITH USE. FOR IT JUST BEING A $10 PART THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT I WOULD NEED TO GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COSTS 2-3K. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HIGHLIGHTS NO LONGER WORKED EVEN AFTER CHANGING BULBS AND LOW BEAMS WOULD GO ON AND OFF. CONNECTIONS WERE MELTED ON THE HEADLIGHT WIRING ENDS. I REPLACED ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNITS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON AUTO FORUMS. I FEARED THAT THIS FAULTY WIRING IN MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES MAY CAUSE A FIRE. *JS

POWER TRAIN
WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I STOPPED AND TRIED TO PLACE IT IN DRIVE WHEN THE SHIFTER SUDDENLY DROPPED STRAIGHT DOWN AND THE CAR STARTED COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. HITTING THE BREAKS AND E BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. MY FRIEND AND HIS NEIGHBOR CAME AND HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. FRIEND WHO'S A LICENSED MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR, CHECKED THE SHIFTED AND MENTIONED THE LINK CABLE HAD SNAPPED WHICH IS WHY THE CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER SINCE IT'S STUCK IN REVERSE. THE SHIFTER WILL NOT PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO PARK . DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH I FOUND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE MODEL OF CAR (14152) BUT GM HAS NOT PLACED MY VIN AS A CONCERN. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS I'VE HAD TO GET MY BRAKES REPLACED TWICE AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE MY CARS POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER ALL OF THAT, I'VE GOTTEN THREE LETTERS IN THE MAIL IN THE LAST MONTH FOR RECALLS ON MY CAR. IF THERE'S THAT MANY PARTS BEING RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE, WHY ISN'T GM JUST RECALLING THE WHOLE VEHICLE SINCE THE G6 HAS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE. *TR
