STEERING
THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR IS INCREDIBLY BAD. IF I START MY CAR, I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, IT NEEDS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO TURN. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN, ITS GOOD AS NEW...UNTIL I START DRIVING. IF I AM DRIVING TO A PLACE THAT TAKES 25 MINUTES, IT WILL LOCK UP ATLEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES. THIS MORNING WHILE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IT LOCKED UP AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND START IT UP AGAIN, IT STAYED LOCKED.

STEERING
WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015 AND JUST RECENTLY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. I LOOKED AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. I CALLED PONTIAC AND THEY TOLD ME THE REPAIR WAS DONE OCT 2014 ALMOST A YEAR BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. AND PONTIAC IS SAYING THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY DONE. HOW IS IT THAT PONTIAC ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAME THING EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN FIXED FOR A FEW YEARS AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM STARTS UP AGAIN

STEERING
POWER STEERING MESSAGE IS CONTINUALLY COMING ACCROSS MY RADIO. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THERE IS RECALLS FOR THIS ON MY CAR BUT GM TELLS ME THERE ISN'T. I KNOW I ONLY HAD 1 RECALL DONE ON MY CAR AND THAT WAS FOR MY BRAKE LIGHTS.

STEERING
MY DAUGHTERS 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAD INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ISSUES MAKING THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND THE DEALER (MATTHEWS AUTO, VESTAL, NY) WAS NOT VERY OPENED ABOUT THE DETAILS THEY TRIED TO SAY THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE WHEN I HAD TO ASK ABOUT THE ONE POSTED ON YOUR SITE. NOT UNTIL THEN DID HE TELL ME THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2014 AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO SERVICED IT. THE POWER STEERING HAS SINCE FAILED ALL TOGETHER AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GM DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM $700-$1000. I'VE ALSO READ THAT OTHERS HAD THEIR RECALL SERVICED ONLY TO SAY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY CARS (WITH YOUNG DRIVERS BEHIND THE WHEEL) ARE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS. THE PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY FOR A YOUNG DRIVER. I ALSO HAVE TO WONDER IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. I'M FINE WITH THE RECALL BUT I EXPECT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED AFTER RECALL SERVICE AND IT CLEARLY IS NOT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THANKS FOR LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY. BEST REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT. IT WENT OUT ONCE WHILE I WAS FULLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ANOTHER TIME WHILE I WAS GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL WORKING SOMEWHAT, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JITTER/SHAKE LEFT AND RIGHT (MAINLY TO THE LEFT). THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING WOULD ALSO OCCASIONALLY BE OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND WOULD USUALLY COME BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS WAS A RECALL DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IN 2019 WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2011, AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BY MECHANICS OTHER THAN THE RECALL. THE MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. YESTERDAY, THE PROBLEM RETURNED (IF IT HAD EVER GONE AWAY TO BEGIN WITH.) THE MECHANICS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THE BEST I HAVE EVER GOTTEN IS ABOUT 8 MONTHS WITHOUT NOTICING ANY ISSUES. WHEN YOU BUY A CAR--NEW OR USED--YOU EXPECT THE BREAK LIGHTS TO WORK AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO WORK FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. NOBODY BUYS A CAR EXPECTING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF NOT KNOWING WHETHER YOUR CAR IS ACTUALLY ALERTING DRIVERS THAT YOU ARE STOPPING WHEN YOU ARE IN BUSY TRAFFIC.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
THE STEERING COLUMN IS BROKEN AND WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO SHAKE OFF. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THIS. IT MAKES A TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING, THE HIGHER THE SPEED THE LOUDER THE NOISE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AND BACK. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS WHO RIDE IN THIS DAILY. CALLED AND CHECKED ON ANY RECALLS FOR THIS AND WAS INFORMED BACK IN 2014 (PREVIOUS OWNER) HAD IT FIXED FOR THIS ISSUE. AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. PLUS THE SERVICE AIR BACK SOON LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHICH IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN BEING BROKE. THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM AGAIN.
