STEERING
AFTER STARTING THE CAR ON DRY PAVEMENT IN A PARKING LOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING STALL. AFTER TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. THIS MADE STEERING THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE. THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT WAS NOT ISSUED FOR MY VIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND GM SHOULD DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC TO DRIVE AND BE SAFE WHILE OTHERS ARE DRIVING THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I HAVE OWNED MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND THE STEERING WILL LOCK UP. AFTER LOCKING UP, THE SERVICE ESC, POWER STEERING, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATE. THE STEERING WILL REMAIN LOCKED UP UNTIL YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND RESTART IT. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER MORE TIMES THAN NOT IT OCCURS IN CURVES OR WHILE MAKING A TURN. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW I SEE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ISSUED TILL SIMILAR MODELS PRIOR TO 2010; HOWEVER 2010 HAS BEEN LEFT OUT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS WRECKS; BECAUSE WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL.

STEERING
POWER STEERING. I GOT MY CAR AT AN AUCTION ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND IT'S BEEN DRIVING GREAT! TOOK IT INTO A SHOP AND THEY CHECK ALL THE FLUIDS. ALL LOOKED GREAT. BUT I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM DOWNTOWN LAST NIGHT (4/15/19) AND THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY STIFF. I'M GLAD IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT SO THERE WAS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY COMING ON AND OFF. I TOOK THE CAR IN MYSELF AND THEY LUBED UP THE CIRCUITS WITH DIELECTRIC GREASE. THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THIS MORNING I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE AND KIDS AND THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN SHE IS GOING AND THEY GO OFF WHEN SHE APPLIES THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME MY RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T CARE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO LOOK ON YOUTUBE AND LEARN HOW TO GREASE THE ELECTRIC PLUG THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CAR AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM IS MY GAS TANK. SOMETIMES THE TANK SHIFTS WHERE I CAN BARELY GET THE GAS NOZZLE INTO THE GAS TANK AS IT IS PARTIALLY BLOCKED. IT FIRST HAPPENED OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BUT THEN IT GOES BACK INTO PLACE. I USED THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT TIME I NOTICED IT HAPPENED. I FIGURED THIS WAS WEAR AND TEAR, BUT I'M SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THIS. I AM SEEING COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME CAR ABOUT A STRONG GAS SMELL, WITH LEAKS, THOUGH, I HAVE NEVER NOTICED EITHER ONE. I, ALSO, SAW A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX RECALL ON A GAS TANK SEAL.

STEERING
MY CAR, WHEN DRIVING, WILL HAVE THE ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK UP. MY STEERING WILL BE LOCKED AND I CAN'T TURN IT RIGHT OR LEFT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEEDER ROAD, AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND RESTART MY CAR TO RESET THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND ME OR I WOULD OF COLLIDED WITH THEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY IF I WERE TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY I PROBABLY WOULD CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE TWICE SO FAR. ANOTHER TIME I LUCKILY WAS IN A LOW SPEED PARKING GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I RECENTLY WENT TO 2 CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL. WHEN I WENT INTO BOTH THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED AND THEY WOULD NEED TO CHARGE ME. PLEASE HELP ME SEARCH IF THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS BIG ISSUE WITH MY CAR.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 - THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SHAKING/JERKING PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR CAN JERK RIGHT OR LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR CAN SIT AND IDLE, AND THE STEERING WILL WILL JERK BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY. (VIDEO SHOWING PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=7QWIB-4EYZC). THERE WAS A RECALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SUPPOSEDLY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN); HOWEVER IT NEVER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM TWICE NOW EXPLAINING THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, BUT THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE IN TERMS OF COST OR WARRANTY. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE REQUIRING THAT I TAKE IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR MISTAKES AND MAKE THEM RIGHT - THE RECALL DIDN'T WORK, AND I HAVE A VEHICLE UNFIT FOR THE ROAD.

STEERING
CURRENTLY ON ROADTRIP WITH MY FAMILY FROM FLORIDA BACK HOME TO INDIANA. IN THE LAST 800 MILES, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND CUT OFF MY CAR WHEN I CUT IT BACK ON "POWER STEERING" FLASHED ACROSS THE LED AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. CUTTING CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN UNLOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL. NEXT I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING AND LOOSE TURNING LEFT. WHEN WE ARE IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL TWITCHES BACK AND FORTH AND RATTLES AND IT'S HARD TO TURN WHILE PARKED. WE ARE CURRENTLY BREAKING AT A HOTEL WITH 800+ MILES LEFT UNTIL WE'RE HOME, KIND OF SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT BUT WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY HOME. WISH ME AND MY FAMILY LUCK ON THE REST OF OUR JOURNEY

AIR BAGS, STEERING
MY VEHICLES AIR BAGS CODE SHOWING ON DISPLAY. IT STAYS ON WHETHER CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING OR WHILE DRIVING. I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS WON'T WORK. I QUESTION WHETHER THEY EVER WORKED. I HAD A DOG RUN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND COULDN'T STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING DOG. DAMAGED FRONT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW I'M DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, MAJOR METRO STREETS, AND I'M CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND MAJOR HARM TO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED OVER A LONG RANGE OF YEARS AND I FEEL THERE'S ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THE CALL FOR GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND EITHER REPLACE THE PROBLEM PART(S) OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. THERE ARE MULTIPLY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONAL. AS AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I'M ASKING FOR HELP.
