EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ALMOST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS DUE TO WIRING 'BURNING' AND CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE ACTUAL LIGHT BULBS THEMSELVES ARE FINE. IT IS THE CONNECTION TO THE BULB THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS FIRST NOTICED WHEN STARTING THE CAR WHILE EVEN HAVING HEADLAMPS SET TO AUTOMATIC, THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP. SOMETIMES ONCE YOU START DRIVING, ONE LIGHTS UP WHILE THE OTHER REMAINS OUT. HIGH BEAMS, FOG LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE FINE.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL. BUT NOT ONLY THE AIR BAGS. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I STEERING, SOMETIMES CAUSING THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. THERE IS A VIBRATING COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEN AT SPEED THAT SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN AFTER THE TIRES ARE BALANCED AND THE STRUTS AND TIE RODS WERE REPLACED. IF I GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS, IT MOVES UP AND DOWN. WHEN PARALLEL PARKING, THE POWER STEERING FAILS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT HITTING THE GAS AND PUTTING THE CAR IN MOTION. I'VE NOTICED IN MY RESEARCH THAT OTHER G6 MODELS OF THIS YEAR AND SURROUNDING YEARS WERE RECALLED FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. WHEN I ASKED THE PERSON AT CHEVY DEALER ABOUT IT, SHE TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK UNTIL THE VIN POPS UP IN THEIR SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPING SINCE MY WIFE GOT THE CAR IN 2007 APPARENTLY, AND SINCE WE JUST HAD A BABY, WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT MORE. I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THE RECALLS TO BE EXPANDED TO HER VIN, BUT NOTHING. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO, OTHER THAN PAYING TO REBUILD THE WHOLE STEERING SYSTEM OF WHICH OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WERE COVERED? THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I RANDOMLY LOSE MY POWER STEERING. I AM THEN UNABLE TO TURN. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD A FEW TIMES. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. UPON CONTACTING A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I LOOKED AT NHTSA.GOV, THE MAKE AND MODEL HAD A RECALL, BUT NOT MY CAR VIA VIN. THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THAT HAVE THE RECALL ACTIVE.

STEERING
WHILE IN MOTION WEATHER IT IS ON HIGHWAY OR ON A CITY STREET, NOT ALL THE TIME BUT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE, MY STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP TIGHT WHERE I AM HAVING TO USE GREAT FORCE TO KEEP MY CAR IN THE CORRECT POSITION FROM HITTING SIDEWALLS OR OTHER MOVING VEHICLES. WHILE I AM SITTING STATIONARY MY WHEEL WILL VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH FAST, THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN DRIVE OR PARK. I AM SCARED FOR MY 3 YEAR OLD SONS LIFE AS WELL AS MINE NOW BECAUSE OTHER DAY WHICH MADE ME RESEARCH THIS ISSUE MORE, I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60MPH, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STEER IT BACK INTO MY LANE AFTER NEARLY HITTING THE DIVIDER WALL. I AM SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR AT THIS POINT, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT IS GETTING WORSE. I HAD FOUND 3 RECALLS ON MY CAR THAT I HAD COMPLETED AT LOUISVILLE,KY AT BROWN BROTHERS CADILLAC. ONE WHICH INCLUDED SOMETHING IN THE STEERING, HOWEVER I EVEN TOOK IT BACK TO HAVE THEM LOOK OVER IT BECAUSE ISSUE WAS ISSUE THERE WITH STEERING LOCKING UP. I WILL NOT KEEP DRIVING MY SO0N AROUND IN A UNSAFE CAR, I AM A SINGLE MOM WORKING TO MAKE A GOOD LIFE FOR MY SON AND IM SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE TO THE STORE.

STEERING
TWICE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY 09 PONTIAC G6. BOTH TIMES THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN USE AND MAKING A TURN. I NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUED IN 2014, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMP IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, AND AM NOW ON APRIL 27 2017 HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK IN DUE TO POWER STEERING ISSUES. I AM UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THE 09 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING RECALL DID NOT EXTEND TO MY VIN NUMBER, BUT CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING THAT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND NORMAL WEAR FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.
