STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON ANY TYPE OF SURFACE, TRYING TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION, THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES SMALL JERKS IN ONE DIRECTION, THEN RELEASES JUST AS YOU HAVE COMPENSATED FOR THE INITIAL JERK CAUSING YOU TO MOVE ABRUPTLY TO THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS CONTINUES CAUSING YOU TO MAKE ONGOING SMALL CORRECTIONS AND YOUR OVERALL PATH TO ZIG-ZAG. THIS ALONE HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO COLLIDE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING ON NARROW ROADS. OCCASIONALLY, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY, REQUIRING ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM (TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY) IN THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR JUST NOT FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE (GM TELLS ME, MY VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURED DATE DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL OCCASIONALLY TURN ON WHEN MY FOOT ISN'T ON THE BRAKES WHETHR THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT, AND THEN THEY TURN OFF WHEN I DO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY APPLYING THE BRAKES HARD OR IF THE ABS ARE NEEDED. CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL OR WILL SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES
I RECEIVED A BRAKE LIGHT RECALL IN THE MAIL. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING AND SOMETIMES NOT. THEY SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN I AM NOT BRAKING AND SOMETIMES DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN I AM BRAKING. I CLEARLY HAVE THE PROBLEM NOTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I AM NOW TRYING TO FIND THE NOTICE THAT CAME IN THE MAIL. I HAVE MISPLACED IT, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME. I AM A LOW INCOME PERSON AND CANNOT AFFORD THE EXPENSE OF HAVING THIS REPAIRED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT.

STEERING
THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING ASSIST AT SPEEDS BELOW 20MPH WITHIN 200 MILES AFTER BEING REPAIRED. ONCE LOST, POWER STEERING ASSIST REMAINS OFF AND IT TAKES BRUTE STRENGTH TO STEER MAKING IT TOTALLY UNSAFE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT, SO IT SEEMS A PART IN THE POWER STEERING MAY BE DEFECTIVE.

ON ITS WAY TO CLOSING AND LOCKING ITS MECHANISM CAUSED A MALFUNCTION AND BROKE THE PART NUMBER 25887153 AWAY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER @ GM OF VACAVILLE, CA. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME, 'THIS PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE', & THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. I HAVE INCURRED $ 1400. IN AUTO RENTAL FEES. I HAVE TALKED WITH MORE THAN 20 PONTIAC DEALERS ALL STATE; "WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM TO SAY - THE PART NO LONGER EXIST AND IS NOT AVAILABLE"THE PARTS MANUFACTURE, KARMANN MADE THE PART FOR GM. THEY MAY HAVE THE PART IN THEIR WAREHOUSE. BUT, ACCORDING TO THEIR EMPLOYEE, GM WILL NOT GIVE THEIR PERMISSION TO SELL IT THE WORST THING IS: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OVER 25 PARTS DEALERS I CALLED GM AT 1-866-790-5600 EXT. 5914235 AND SPOKE WITH NATALIE. SHE ATTEMPTED TO ASSIST BUT AFTER NO PROGRESS . A MALE ANSWERED THE PHONE HE INDICATED THAT HE WAS HER SUPERVISOR, HOWEVER REFUTED TO GIVE ME HIS NAME, AND THEN STATED, 'IT'S NOT AVAILABLE, THE PART IS DISCONTINUED, AND PONTIAC DOESN'T EXIST SO GET OVER IT, OR DEAL WITH IT! IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM, IT'S YOURS, AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A WARRANTY CAUSE ITS EXPIRED.' HE SLAMMED THE PHONE DOWN IN MY EAR. PLEASE ASSIST ME TO GET THE PART, OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND RETURN MY INCURRED COSTS OF $13,500.THE "TOP IS NOT SECURE" HAS LEFT NO OPTION BUT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE G6 IS GARAGED AND UNDRIVABLE

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
GERALD HORNE A & A AUTOMOTIVE 1620 STATE ST. FLORENCE, AL 35630 CONFIDENTIAL THIS MAN SOLD ME A 2009 PONTIAC G6 GXP THAT HE BOUGHT AT AN AUCTION THAT HAD BEEN WRECKED ON JULY 17, 2017 FOR $6,000. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD 'FIX EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED FIXING ON THE CAR TO MAKE IT DRIVABLE AND ACCEPTABLE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT,' EVEN SAYING HE WOULD 'PROVIDE AN OIL CHANGE.' ON JULY 17, 2017, HE DELIVERED CAR TO MY HOME. CAR 'LOOKED' PRETTY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE TWO BACK 'CHROME' (HE'D TOLD ME 'CHROME' BUT THEY ARE PLASTIC) RIMS. THEY WERE SCRATCHED REALLY BAD. MY GRANDSON CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS QUITE LOW, DIRTY, AND DARK. I CONTACTED MR. HORNE AND TOLD HIM I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE SCRATCHED RIMS AND THAT HE NEEDED TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE HE HAD PROMISED. HE SAID HE WOULD REPLACE THE RIMS AND PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE. HE PICKED UP THE CAR THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN JULY 18, 2017. ON JULY 20, 2017, HE DELIVERED THE CAR TO THE FLORENCE, AL YMCA WHERE MY GRANDSON WAS PLAYING BASKETBALL AND MY GRANDSON DROVE THE CAR TO OUR HOME, WHICH IS CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN FLORENCE. [THE RIMS WERE STILL THE SAME. HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANY MORE USED RIMS AND WOULD HAVE TO ORDER NEW ONES. I TOLD HIM OK. HE HAS YET TO PROVIDE THOSE NEW RIMS.] WE DID NOT CHECK THE OIL AT THIS TIME, AS HORNE HAD GIVEN HIS WORD THE OIL WAS CHANGED AT THIS TIME, BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF THE OIL WAS CHANGED OR NOT, AS HE SAID IT WAS. REMEMBER, UPON INITIAL DELIVERY, OIL WAS CHECKED AND WAS QUITE LOW, DARK, AND VERY DIRTY. GRANDSON THEN DROVE CAR WITH ME IN IT TO A GAS STATION DOWNTOWN SO I COULD FILL UP GAS TANK. HE THEN DROVE CAR TO OUR HOME. AROUND 5:00 P.M., HE DROVE CAR TO THE FLORENCE MALL. HE LEFT MALL AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 P.M. DRIVING HOME, ENGINE BLEW, NO FAULT OF GRANDSON, ALMOST GOT HIM KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HE HAD TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING LANE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
FIRST THERE IS A MESSAGE THAT POPS UP ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING ABOUT MY AIRBAG WARNING. IT POPS UP THROUGHTOUT MY DRIVE. ITS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2008. BUT I MEVER GOT A RECALL PAPER IN THE MAIL AND WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN, IT HAS NO RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG. ITS ALARMING AND SCARY HEARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. SECONDLY I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM GMC OR SOMETHING ABOUT A RECALL ON MY CAR. IT HAD TO DO WITH MY BREAK LIGHTS COMING ON AUTOMATICALLY WHILE I HAD MY CAR IN THE PARK POSITION. I WAS EXCITED TO FINALLY GET IT FIXED BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GMC MECHANICS IN ALBANY OREGON THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER TILL THIS DAY I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON AND STAY ON WHILE IM DRIVING. IVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WERE DRIVING BEHIND ME TELL ME THE SAME THING. I JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR A LONG TIME, I STOPPED AT THE REST AREA AND AN OLDER GENTLEMAN CAME UP TO ME AND TOLD ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON THE WHOLE TIME FOR THE LAST 30 MILES HE WAS BEHIND ME. IF I GOT A LETTER CONCERNING MY BRAKES THEN WHY ARENT THEY WILLING TO FIX MY PROBLEM.
