I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC THEY SAY THAT ITS A RECALL ON IT. WHAT'S MY NEXT STEP BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAYS HE CAN'T FIX IT. I NEED AND WOULD LIKE FOR MY CAR TO BE FIX.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER DRIVING THE CAR WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE OR IN A GARAGE. NO SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKS ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 65K MILES ON IT. THIS CAN POSE A DANGER SINCE MANY HOME HAVE THE HOT WATER HEATER IN THE GARAGE WITH A PILOT LIGHT. ALSO THIS FUEL ODOR IS AROUND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF THE CAR. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OR LOSES THEIR HOME BEFORE GM WITH TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ALMOST EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I TOOK IT TO AN ELECTRICIAN. HE REPLACED A PIECE IN THE WIRING, THEN THE OTHER HEADLIGHT, AS SOON AS I FIX ONE SIDE THE OTHER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. I KNOW IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR ALMOST 8 YEARS THIS MAY. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT NOW. I LOVE THIS CAR, IT RIDES GREAT, BUT THIS HEADLIGHT SITUATION IS FRUSTRATING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHETHER IT'S MOVING OR STANDING STILL THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE LIKE CRAZY AND USUALLY THE 'POWER STEERING' LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON (SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES).

STEERING
I'VE HAD THE POWER STEERING RECALL DONE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND RECENTLY 3 TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY IN MY PONTIAC G6 AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE DISPLAYED AND THEN LOSE STEERING ALTOGETHER UNTIL I FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE THEN IT WORKS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING SMALL TURNING ADJUSTMENTS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THE STEERING GOES OUT IT MAKES FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! MY STEERING WORKED FINE BEFORE DOING THE RECALL AND AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WELL, THE DOOR SAYS IT'S A 2009, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES BACK AS A 2010. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SAYS GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 2010'S AS WELL, YET THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS A RECALL ON MY GM VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE JUST ISN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE END OF 2009, SO IT'S CONSIDERED A 2010. THAT IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010. THIS ISN'T SOME SILLY LITTLE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT. THIS IS MY STEERING. I COULD CRASH AND DIE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EXPAND THE RECALL. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS SEEN AND SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS. IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. GM MESSED UP AND SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.
