POWER TRAIN
MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND HE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE TURN LANE. HE WENT TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR REVVED UP, BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. IT WAS STUCK. THE CAR MOVES WHEN IN REVERSE AND THAT'S IT. THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IN LOW GEAR. IT WILL NOT DRIVE WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE MECHANIC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JULY 2019. CAME HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE CAR ONLY TO FIND THERE WERE 5 RECALLS.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP HAVING TO BE REPLACED! I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE PIGTAILS IN THE PAST!! I NOTICED BOTH MY HIGH AND LOW BEAMS OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO BE REPLACED THE LIGHT HAD COME BACK ON. THEN WHEN I LEFT WORK THAT NIGHT THEY WERE OUT ONCE AGAIN!!! I'VE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MOST PONTIAC OWNERS ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TOO! WHICH I'VE ALSO HAD MY SHARE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TOO!!! I'VE GOTTWN INTO THE HABIT OF SHUTTING OFF MY DAY TIME DRIVING LIGHTS! AS REPLACEMENT IS VERY COSTLY DUE TO LABOR!!

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING WOULD RANDOMLY LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING IT TO BE HARD TO STEER. I ALMOST REARENDED SOMEONE CAUSE I COULDN'T STEER THE CAR TO THE LEFT. THE RADIO STARTED TO DISPLAY " POWER STEERING " WHEN IT WOULD LOCK UP. NOW IT IS DOING IT ALMOST DAILY.

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT....THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME...THEY SAID THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME HOW TO FIX IT...THEY SAID IT COSTS AT LEAST $1200. I AM DISABLED I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM....I RECEIVE $1064. PER MONTH SOCIAL SECURITY... I KNOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM YET THERE IS NO RECALL...SO, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS GASOLINE PROBLEM REPAIRED?? I'M WAITING ....WAITING....WAITING
