IT SHIFTS WAY TO HARD THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FOR SURE ! NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A LEGIT SOLUTION TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM GM REALLY MESSED UP WHEN THEY MADE THESE CARS IF I WOULD HAVE READ REVIEWS FIRST I DEFINITELY WOULD NO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR ! AS SOON A SHARE YOU TURN THE CAR ON AND PUT IT IN TO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JERKS REALLY HARD THEN EVERY 10 MPH YOU GO IT JERKS YOU ALL THE WAY FORWARD TRYING TO SHIFT ! DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED REALLY HOPE THEY DO A RECALL BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK !

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. FINALLY TOOK CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE SEEN ON SEVERAL WEBSITES THAT THE PONTIAC G5 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE BEING RECALLED. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THE PONTIAC G6. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN MY GARAGE THE ODOR WAS QUITE STRONG AND ALSO A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY. THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS WELL AS MY HOUSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND AT THE INTERSECTION THAT I TAKE EVERYDAY ON A BUSY ROAD (BOULEVARD). WHEN I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE CAR WENT STRAIGHT IN THE OPPOSITE LANE WHERE A SEMI TRUCK WAS COMING MY WAY. IF THE SEMI DIDN'T BRAKE FOR ME I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE TODAY. IT WAS ICY AND I SOMEHOW GOT MYSELF BACK IN MY LANE AFTER USING ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS WAS MY CLOSET TO DEATH EXPERIENCE TO THIS DAY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE CAR EVER SINCE THEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE WINTER AND HAS NOT ONLY THREATENED MY SAFETY BUT HAS COST MY POCKET BOOK A LOT OF MONEY. I FIND IT SUSPICIOUS THAT THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR ELECTRONIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FAILURE YET MY 2009 WAS NOT AND IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING OPTION. I'M HOPING YOU GUYS WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT AS IT WOULD BE SIMPLER AND LESS DRAMA THAN A WRONGFUL DEATH LAW SUIT.
