STEERING
THERE WAS A CHIME AND "POWER STEERING" DISPLAYED ON THE DASH, NOTICED AN OCCASIONAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I CALLED WICKSTROM CHEVROLET IN ROSELLE AND I PROVIDED MY VIN NUMBER. THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE ON MY CAR AND I'M EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL DESCRIBES. I AFRAID THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS TANK ON THIS 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT IS LEAKING FUEL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT IS LEAKING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION USING NON GM AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT ONLY ON THE G6 BUT MANY OF THE GM VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO 2009. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY DUE THE FUEL LEAKING FROM TANK AND SPLATTERING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY DEATHS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL CONTINUE MY RESEARCH. THIS IS MY 24 YEAR OLD NIECE'S CAR. I'M HER UNCLE. *TR

STEERING
WIFE WAS COMING HOME AFTER WORK AND HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE STEERING.SHE SAID IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS TRYING TO DRIVE ITSELF AND FRIGHTENED HER, GIVING A POWER STEERING ALERT ON THE READOUT. SHE CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT SAID THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY LOW POWER STEERING FLUID. DON'T HAVE PUMP. IT WAS DARK AND QUITE COLD, AND WE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CAR UNTIL DAYLIGHT AND DEAL WITH IT THEN. THE NEXT MORNING, WE WENT BACK AND THE STEERING SEEMED FINE, SO I DROVE IT HOME.SHORTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED JERKING LIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I SLOWED TO AROUND 40MPH, AND WRESTLED IT HOME. I TELL YOU, IT WAS FREAKY. WHEN I GOT HOME MY HANDS WERE CRAMPING FROM HOLDING ON TO IT SO IT COULDN'T JUMP OUT OF MY LANE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN BEDFORD, VA, HAD THE CAR TOWED THERE. THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING,CLEARED THE CODES, TIGHTENED AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE. WE ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, THEY SAID IT IS RIGHT NOW, SO WE DROVE IT HOME. 3 WEEKS LATER COMING HOME FROM WORK, SHE LOST POWER STEERING ALTOGETHER,THE DEALERSHIP SAID OUR CAR WASN'T IN THE RECALL, AND WHILE THEY WERE SORRY, THEY'D BE HAPPY TO CHECK IT OUT AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. WE DISCUSSED THE RECALL AND HOW THIS WAS VERY SIMILAR. THE NEXT DAY, I STARTED THE CAR AND THERE WAS A TOTAL LACK OF POWER STEERING. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE WITHOUT POWER STEERING TO HAVE IT CHECKED. (IT'S NOTHING LIKE A REGULAR VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I CAN SEE HOW SOMEONE INEXPERIENCED COULD SCREW UP EASILY). SHOP SAYS TROUBLESHOOTING TELLS THEM TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN. EXPENSIVE, AND FOR A CAR THE WHOLE FAMILY IS AFRAID TO DRIVE. I DON'T TRUST IT EITHER. SAME ISSUES, BUT NO RECALL, AND NO HELP. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THEIR TECHNOLOGY,OR LACK OF IT. SHOULDN'T PUT THESE WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF THE PUBLIC IF THEY'RE APT TO GO OFF ON THEIR OWN. *TR

STEERING
AS SOON AS I DROVE THE CAR DOWN MY STREET, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS ALERTED BY A DING AND THEN A MESSAGE. I PULLED OVER AS BEST AS I COULD AND TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. I GOT ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES AND ONTO A MAJOR STREET BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN, I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF MY CAR, THEN RESTARTED IT. AS SOON AS I PULLED AWAY FROM THE CURB, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THANKFULLY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY BAD POSITION. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION (I CONTINUED BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO TURN AROUND) I NEARLY WAS IN A WRECK BECAUSE IT WAS SO SO HARD FOR ME TO RUN THE WHEEL, THE CAR BEHIND ME WASN'T READY FOR THAT. I DID TURN ON MY HAZARDS JUST IN CASE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAD NOT BEEN PART OF THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. ESTIMATION = $900 APPROX. I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE. IT CLEARLY ISN'T SAFE ENOUGH TO BE ON THE ROADS. WHY HAVE ALL OF THE OTHER YEARS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, BUT 2007 HASN'T?! *TR

STEERING
WITHOUT WARNING STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN IT LOSE POWER STEERING, YOU LOSE CONTROL AND HAVE TO PUT EFFORT INTO STEERING IT SO YOU DON'T CRASH. YOU CAN SHUT CAR OFF AND WHEN YOU RESTART THE POWER STEERING SEEMS FINE AND THEN IT STARTS AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAR MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO INCLUDE 2007 IN THEIR RECALLS!!!! ALMOST WENT INTO A TREE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE IN THE SHIFT LEVER, IT MOVED BACK AND FORTH FREELY IN THE CASING. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. IT BROKE IN DRIVE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING FORWARD, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED . THE DEALER SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE, AND SAID THE PART WAS A G.M. RECALL PART. HOWEVER, OUR CAR WASN'T COVERED ON THE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A PART CAN BE RECALLED, BUT NOT ALL CARS WITH THE PART ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL TO ME. I HAD TO PAY THE G.M DEALER $306. TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED. I REALLY WANT MY MONEY BACK, I WORK HARD FOR IT, AND THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT. WE DID NOTIFY G.M. AND THEY TOLD US TO NOTIFY YOU. THANK YOU *TR
