SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. AS IT HAS BEEN REVEALED IN A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V036000) THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY -- THEY TURN ON WHEN I AM NOT HITTING THE BRAKES AND TURN OFF WHEN I DO HIT THE BRAKES. IN JULY 2009 I THOUGHT I HAD THE ISSUE FIXED WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING FIXED UNDER THE RECALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I JUST GOT APPROACHED BY SOMEONE FOLLOWING ME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A TUNNEL WHICH COMES UP TO A SHARP BEND A LITTLE AFTER EXITING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR I FELT LIKE I WAS NOT IN CONTROL OF MY CAR AS IT FELT AS IF IT WAS LOCKING UP AND MOVING IN ITS OWN DIRECTION. SO I HIT THE BRAKES (JUST GOT BRAKES DONE) TO SLOW DOWN A BIT BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BRAKE QUICK ENOUGH FOR ME TO FEEL SAFE. SO BEFORE COMING TO THE BEND THERE IS ANOTHER EXIT TO GO INTO TOWN THAT I TOOK TO DRIVE AT A SLOWER SPEED. WHILE TAKING THAT WAY HOME I HAD LIGHTS TO STOP AT AND AS I ACCELERATE IT WAS HESITANT AT TIMES TO PICK UP. LASTLY EVERY TIME I START UP THE CAR THERE IS A TICKING NOISE THAT IS CONSISTENT WHICH I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS FROM. THE BRAKES MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH WHO DID MY BRAKES BUT THE POWER STEERING IS AN ISSUE AND WHEN I WAITED UNTIL TODAY TO CHECK THE FLUID I COULD NOT LOCATE SO I WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT WHERE IT WAS AND COME TO FIND OUT I MAY HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ONE AND FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS REGARDING POWER STEERING ISSUES. MY CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO ME AND IT IS NOW MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAD REAR ENDED SOMEBODY ON THE FREEWAY DOING APPROX 35 MPH. THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR INCLUDED FOLDED UP HOOD, PUNCTURED RADIATOR, BUSTED UP BUMPER AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE LOOKED TO BE SUFFICIENT DAMAGE AND SPEED TO CAUSE THEM TO POP. NOT SURE WHY THEY DIDN'T. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON BUT AM STILL VERY SORE FROM THE ACCIDENT AND IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY. *TR

STEERING
YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR GM PONTIAC G6 CARS, INCLUSIVE OF MY MODEL. IRONICALLY, WHEN I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK!!!! WHEN I CALLED T HE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GM IN DETROIT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS STILL "FRESH" AND THAT A COMPLETE VIN LIST HAD BEE COMPLETED YET FOR THE RECALL AND MAY NOT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH. SHE DID HOWEVER, ISSUE ME A CASE NUMBER AND PATCHED ME THROUGH TO THE LOCAL GM PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND TOLD ME, HE WOULD WORK WITH ME AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, BUT THE INFO FROM GM COULD BE SLOW COMING. GM NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL HERE!!!!!! SUPPOSE I HAD WRECKED OR WAS INJURED DUE TO THIS "NO WARNING" INCIDENT? I'M JUST ASKING FOR A QUICK RESOLVE!!! *TR
