STEERING
RECALL14E044000 WE RECENTLY TOOK MY DAUGHTERS G6 IN TO A GM DEALER FOR THIS STEERING ISSUE. WE HAVE PLAY IN THE STEERING AND THE NOISE IT MAKES IS VERY SCARY. DRIVING IS SLOPPY AND AT TIMES DEPENDING ON ROADS CAN MAKE THE CAR GO ALL OVER THE ROAD. THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THIS RECALL. HOWEVER THE PART WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE IS THE MIDDLE SHAFT. THIS IS MY 19 YR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR WHY WERE WE REFUSED TO HAVE THIS FIXED UNDER THIS RECALL? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR IN AND AROUND MY CAR. FINALLY AFTER TAKING IT IN, THE CAR SHOP SAID I HAD A GAS LEAK AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP HIGH COST ME ALMOST $900. THERE ARE DAYS WHEN I STILL SMELL A FAINT GAS ODOR WHILE I'M DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE FOR MY JOB I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING IN MY CAR AND I AM PREGNANT AND ALSO AT TIMES I HAVE MY TODDLER WITH ME FOR ERRANDS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BY GM! PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE EXPERIENCED ABOUT ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE BEING COMPLAINED ABOUT ON HERE. THE LIGHT CONNECTORS MELTING AND BLOWING THE HEADLIGHTS, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MESSING UP AND FRYING 7 BRAINS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THE STEERING ACTING FUNNY JUST TO NAME A FEW, AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2010 TO HAVE THESE ISSUES WORKED ON, I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS. I THINK THAT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO LET THESE VEHICLES STAY ON THE ROAD WITHOUT DOING RECALLS ON THESE DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY FATAL PROBLEMS. FOR YEARS I WANTED ONE OF THESE CARS AFTER THEY CAME OUT AND NOW IT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY. BUT..THAT'S OK! AS SOON AS I HAVE A WRECK OR SOMETHING HAPPENS DUE TO ONE OF THESE PROBLEMS I WILL BE DIALING UP MY LAWYER!!! *TR
