ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT BULBS ARE MELTING AT ELECTRICAL CONTACTS CAUSING FREQUENT BULB FAILURE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT, NOT ONLY WAS THERE DAMAGE TO THE BULB'S ELECTRICAL CONTACTS, BUT THE WIRING HARNESS ITSELF HAD MELTED. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY NO LONGER MADE THE PART AND I WOULD HAVE TO "SPLICE" IN THE HARNESS FROM THE GMC ARCADIA. I DO NOT FIND THIS AS AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION AS THE SPLICED POINTS WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL ALSO. FURTHERMORE, WHAT NORMAL CAR OWNER CAN OR SHOULD DO THIS THEMSELVES? *TR

STEERING
WE DID NOT HAVE ANY INCIDENT. MINE WAS MORE OF A QUESTION CONCERNING A RECALL # FOUND ON A DORMAN PART. (2007 PONTIAC G6 STEERING RECALL 14E044000) FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS BOUGHT FOR THIS ISSUE INVOLVING THE U-JOINTS AND THE STEERING? WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR PONTIAC G6 AND THE STEERING THAT I FEEL IS VERY SAFE. THE CAR WE HAVE IS ONLY A 2007 WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT AND WE CAN BARELY CONTROL THE STEERING. WE WERE WONDERING WERE OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE ? OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS REPLACEMENT PART? *TR
