AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED RANDOMLY COMING ON AND OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE NOW, (ALMOST TWO YEARS) EXCEPT THAT OVER THE LAST YEAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOW JUST TURNED ON AND STAYS ON. IT COULD BE A FAILED AIRBAG, OR SOME OTHER AIRBAG ISSUE. WE ALSO NOTICED THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW THAT IS BACK OFF. THE CAR NOW HAS 108,000 MILES. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT THEY AIRBAGS MAY NOT WORK RESULTING IN INJURIES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2007 PONTIAC G6 I'VE HAD SINCE 2009. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO, THE BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR TO BE ON WHILE THE BRAKE IS NOT BEING PRESSED. ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, LIGHTS GO OFF THEN TAKE A COUPLE SECONDS AND TURN BACK ON. DANGEROUS FOR DRIVERS BEHIND SINCE THEY CAN'T TELL WHEN I AM ACTUALLY BRAKING OR NOT. IT BASICALLY JUST SEEMS LIKE I AM RIDING THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY BRAKES LIGHTS DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THEY EITHER STAY ON COMPLETELY OR DON'T COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ALREADY, AND IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO STOP WORKING. MY TRACTION CONTROL IS ALSO STARTING TO COME ON NOW, AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. THE TC LIGHT WILL DING, AND IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION THEN PROCEEDS TO TURN IT OFF. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING MY 12 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, WHILE ABOUT 3-4 MILES AWAY, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE, I'M GUESSING SIMULTANEOUSLY. DURING THIS TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT RESET. I CAN DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. I CAN RESET THE CRUISE AT THIS TIME. WITHIN MOMENTS, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AGAIN. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR IN NATURE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
AS I WAS DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT HAPPENED ON A REGULAR SIDE STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAS A KNOCKING SOUND/NOISE COMING FROM IT WHEN I MAKE ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE STEERING AND HER CAR WAS FIXED BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER FOR MY CAR WHICH IS THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY CAR WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND ETC. IT FEELS LIKE A JERKING/PULLING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATE, AS IF IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS... EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE CAR SHOP, IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN THEY ARE TEST DRIVING MY CAR. SO IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE MECHANIC TO PINPOINT WHAT I AM REFERRING TO, WHICH IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

STEERING, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE, BUT ONCE I WOULD GET GOING IT WOULD QUIT WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK SINCE 4/11/12. IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AS I'M DRIVING THE POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS AND THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.MY BREAK LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON IF THE BREAK IS NOT PUSHED DOWN AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS GO OFF. MORE RECENTLY, WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. I CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. MY CAR IS AFFECTED, BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN THE DFW AREA AND THE BREAK LIGHT ISSUE AND THE POWER STEERING ISSUE ARE CAUSING HUGE PROBLEMS FOR ME. IT IS TERRIFYING EACH TIME I HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE. AT THE DROP OF A HAT THE POWER STEERING JUST QUITS. GM DOES NOT SEE THIS AS AN ISSUE AND I AM REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE BRUSH OFF. *TR
