ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, WHEELS
THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING IN MY CAR CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONS WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE VEHICLE AND HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM AFRAID THAT IT IS GOING TO GO COMPLETELY OUT AND I MAY LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH OF MY HEAD LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. MY FIRST HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND THE DEALER STATED THAT MY WIRES HAD CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW TWO MONTHS LATER MY OTHER HEADLIGHT IS OUT AND I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH BOTH CRUISE CONTROL AND MY TURN SIGNALS AS BOTH HAVE NOT BEEN REACTING TO THE COMMAND. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE MAY 14, 2014 RECALL REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. I SPENT OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE FIRST HEADLIGHT. THE OTHER ITEMS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET, BUT I KNOW THEY WILL NEED TO BE AND THE COST WILL BE EXORBITANT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WENT OUT WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES. I DID FIND ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED MY DEALER AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME I COULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY COULD CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR AND THEN IF A RECALL SHOWS UP ON MY VEHICLE FOR THAT, THEN I COULD TRY TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AS IT IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2008 G6 VEHICLES AND OBVIOUSLY MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT SEE A SPECIFIC RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IS SHOT. IT STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO..ONE BY ONE, EVERYTHING IN THE CAR (ELECTRICAL) STOPPED WORKING. SUCH AS.. 1. POWER LOCK FOR THE DOORS DOESN'T WORK 2. TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON DOESN'T OPEN THE TRUNK 3. CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF EVERY TIME I OPENED THE DOOR (AS THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED) 4. AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING 5. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD GO OFF WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. 6. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULDN'T ILLUMINATE AT ALL SOMETIMES. 7. HEADLIGHTS AND/OR TAILLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT, OR DIM RANDOMLY 8. PUSH-LOCK BUTTON ON EACH DOOR WOULD GO UP AND DOWN (BY ITSELF) AS I WOULD BE DRIVING, OR WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. (COULDN'T LOCK MY CAR DOORS) BECAUSE OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES, I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE. I ALSO HAD MY CAR REPAIRED A COUPLE TIMES (MECHANIC EVEN CALLED PONTIAC FOR ASSISTANCE). AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED, (IF POSSIBLE), THE LIGHTS WOULD STOP PROPERLY WORKING AGAIN, SHORTLY AFTER BEING 'REPAIRED' . EVENTUALLY, I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE FEBRUARY, 2014 (5 MONTHS). I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUOUSLY GET THE CAR FIXED (TO PASS INSPECTION), OR PAY FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS. THEREFORE, I HAVEN'T HAD A CAR TO DRIVE FOR 5 MONTHS. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL (PRIOR TO THE RECALL LETTER IN JUNE 2014) STATING THERE WAS A DEFAULT WITH THE POWER STEERING. I CALLED THE NUMBER TWICE. AT FIRST, I WAS TOLD MY CAR ISSUES WERE NOT RELEVANT TO THE DEFAULT. THE SECOND TIME, (PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS LATER) I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOW OVER THE MILEAGE TO BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY (STATED IN THE LETTER), AND THEREFORE IT VOIDED MY ELIGIBILITY TO HAVE THE REPAIRED BY THEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK FAILS TO OPEN AT TIMES. SOME DAYS IT WILL UNLOCK, OTHERS IT WILL NOT. UPON CALLING A FEW DEALERS I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. AS THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT WOULD COST ~$350 TO FIX. AGAIN, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THAT DOOR IS TO GET IN THE CAR AND REACH ACROSS AND PULL THE LOCK UP, PULLING ON THE DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT POP THE LOCK. *TR
