ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
POWER STEERING MESSAGE POPS UP AND IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN. THIS MAY HAPPEN WHEN YOU CRANK THE VEHICLE OR WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT MAKES IT PULL TO THE SIDE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS(FUEL PUMP) THE FUEL PUMP LEAKS FAST ONTO THE GAS TANK. THAT IS A FIRE HAZARD. IT IS ALSO HORRIBLE ON MY GAS MILEAGE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND IF THERE IS ONE ALREADY OR NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. AND SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON IT. THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRIC BOX AND IT THROWS CODES FOR MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, AND WHEN THOSE PROBLEMS ARE FIXED IT DOESN'T HELP. IT'S COSTING PEOPLE MONEY FOR NOTHING.

STEERING
STEERING PUMP CONTINUED PROBLEMS. WASN'T MADE AWARE AS AN OWNER THAT THERE WAS SPECIAL COVERAGE TO REPLACE THESE AT MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. IT CAUSE THE MODULAR TO MAKE IT NOT RESPOND TO STEERING. AS A CUSTOMER WE HAVE FIXED IT TWICE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT THE CAR HAD STEERING. DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT AS OWNERS LIKE YOU DO WITH YOUR RECALLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL BE MY EXPENSE @ 900$. THAT STEERING COVERAGE FOR THE RAN OUT AT 150,000 MILES. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER 900 TO FIX. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SOMETHING THAT'S SAFETY. IT BROKE AGAIN WHILE TRANSPORTING MY GRANDCHILDREN. AGAIN, THIS COVERAGE TO FIX IT WAS NOT BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION UNTIL COVERAGE RAN OUT AT 150,000 MILES. YOU FIXED THE OTHER 4 MANUFACTURERS RECALLS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MADE THE CONSUMER AWARE, EXCEPT WITH THIS STEERING SAFETY (COVERAGE) . IT PUT MY FAMILY AT HUGE SAFETY RISK. COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU'RE NOT FIXING IT. DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DIDN'T SEND ANY NOTICE OF THE SAFETY RECALL OR COVERAGE (YOUR WORDS) BEFORE NOW OR EVER, WE HAD TO GET IT FROM THE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP . SO I PICK UP A CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD $900 AND YOUR COMPANY WILL NOT COVER IT! SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO A LIFELONG CHEVY CUSTOMER..

STEERING
WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND IT SAYS 'POWER STEERING' ON THE RADIO. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL KEEPS RATTLING SINCE THE MOMENT I TURN IT ON AND WHEN DRIVING IT KEEPS RATTLING AND MOVING MY CAR LEFT AND RIGHT. THE TIRED CAN NOT BE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I KEEP THAT ON POINT AND I ALSO CHANGE THE OIL EVERYTIME IT IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT HAS BEEN WORSENING.

STEERING
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN CAR IS BECOMING FAULTY AND UNSTABLE. WHEN LEFT IN AN IDLE POSITION, STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE TERRIBLY, EITHER THE WHOLE RIDE OR UNTIL IT LOCKS UP, AT WHICH POINT POWER STEERING IS LOST AND BECOMES HARD TO TURN. I COULD BE JUST TURNING THE CAR ON, SITTING IDLY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WILL DO THIS. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE TURNING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO TRY AND "FIX" THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN GUARANTEED, IT'S IFFY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY GETS HARD TO MOVE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IM ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60+ MPH AND MY POWER STEERING PUMP JUST COMPLETELY GOVES OUT. I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STOPS DOING IT TIL I GET BACK UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TOLD BY A REPAIR SHOP THAT MY POWER STEERING WAS COVERED BY A GM RECALL, AND I CANT GET ANYONE TO FIND THE RECALL INFORMATION. MY CONCERN IS WHY IS IT JUST A FEW MAKES RECALLED IF THE ENTIRE YEAR OF THAT MAKE AND MODEL ARE FAULTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THE NIGHT OF DECEMEBER 31, 2018, THE FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING READY TO GO OUT WHEN WE NOTICED THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND ALL THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON AND DIM. PRIOR TO THIS NIGHT, MY SPOUSE NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON AS WELL SO HE REMOVED THE FUSE AS A TEMPORARY FIX SO THAT I MAY GO TO WORK. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLS THAT I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT. IM UNCERTAIN OF THE EXACT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THE RECALLSB I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH EITHER THE IGNITION OR THE BRAKE PEDAL SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
'ESC OFF' WAS DISPLAYED SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED ON, WHILE IT WAS PARKED. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I RESEARCHED IT AND PONTIAC HAS RECALLED SIMILAR ESC ISSUES WITHIN THE SAME TIME FRAME THAT MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO A STOP LIGHT I WAS USING MY BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE THAT MUCH UNTIL I PUSHED DOWN HARDER THAN BEFORE. AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND GOING TOWARDS ANOTHER STOP LIGHT, I BRAKED AND THE CAR STOPPED. IT WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE ACCELERATOR WASN'T WORKING AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK THEN DRIVE, NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER I TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT, BUT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER MANY TURN ON AND OFFS, THE STEERING WHEEL WASN'T TIGHT ANYMORE AND I HAD SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE MY CAR TO MY HOUSE. AFTER A WEEK, MY PARENTS TOLD ME START THE CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR 2 MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED IT ON, IT MADE LIKE A 'GURGLING' NOISE AND WHEN I TURNED IT OFF, IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE KEY AND WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR, IT STARTED TO SMELL. BEFORE EVERYTHING THAT I TYPED THAT HAPPENED, MY CAR WOULD START UP WITH THE 'GURGLING' NOISE AND WOULD SHAKE.

STEERING
ON DECEMBER 27TH, 2018 I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 68MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE TO THE LEFT LANE, WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING. MY CAR IS THE 4 CYLINDER, WHICH MEANS IT HAS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. "POWER STEERING" SHOWED ON MY DISPLAY ALONG WITH A CHIME. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER 10 SECONDS, I STARTED IT BACK UP, AND REGAINED THE POWER STEERING. I CONTINUED ON FOR ABOUT 15 MILES TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER WORK, I DROVE AROUND 25 MILES TO TOWN, AND THEN DROVE AROUND RUNNING ERRANDS WITH NO ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, AT THE SAME SPEED, ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MILES. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY CAR'S YEAR, BUT SEARCHING WITH THE VIN NUMBER, IT DOESN'T SHOW THE RECALL APPLIES. IN AUGUST OF 2015 GM ISSUED A BULLETIN 15356 DETAILING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE PARTS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, IF THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, OR 150K MILES, THE SPECIAL COVERAGE DOES NOT APPLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I FEEL RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO MY CAR. I ALSO FEEL THE SPECIAL COVERAGE SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED. IF THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE OF IT, WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHETHER HOW OLD THE CAR IS, IT'S A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED.
