STEERING
I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND POWER STEERING KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED SINCE ABOUT MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2017 AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I LOOKED UP ISSUE THAT I WAS HAVING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE YEAR MODEL THAT I OWN FALLS WITHIN A RECALL FOR FAULTY POWER STEERING PARTS.TRIED TAKING TO GM OFFICE ON MY ISSUE AND THEY SAID BEST THEY COULD DO IS FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED AND THAT THERE DOESN'T SHOW A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO WITH THIS, DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND ON DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT JUST TO TAKE A CHANCE THAT GM WON'T TAKE CARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE THE DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PARTS HAS CAUSED. I READ A LOT OF FORUMS WHERE CUSTOMERS OF GM HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS AND GM HAS CHOSE NOT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND I THINK THIS ISN'T IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CUSTOMER OR THE MOTORING PUBLICS SAFETY. ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

STEERING
OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS MY VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE 'POWER STEERING' SERVICE ESB' 'TRACTION' AND THEN THE INDICATOR WOULD GO OFF AS ODDLY AS IT CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR CHECK AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE OR RECALL AND SAID TO JUST KEEP DRIVING.... NOW OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS I CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT MY POWER STEERING ACTUALLY LOCKING UP, VERY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHEN IDLE. I WAS ABLE TO REMEDY FOR ABOUT A WEEK WITH SIMPLY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON BUT THIS NO LONGER WORKS AND THE POWER STEERING WILL NOW LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON DURING A ROUTINE DRIVE, AND REMAIN ON. HAD MECHANIC INSPECT- CONCLUDED THAT BOTH SENSORS WORKING, MALFUNCTION DUE TO NO ELECTRICITY BEING DELIVERED. AS A RESULT, CRITICAL CRASH AVOIDANCE FEATURES (BOTH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE CRITICAL) ARE DISABLED / FAILING. REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE TRACING WIRE BACK TO POINT OF ISSUE. BEFORE HAVING A PRIVATE MECHANIC ADDRESS, I LEARNED OF RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000) EFFECTIVE AUG 18, 2014, WHEREBY GM TO ADDRESS WIRING HARNESS WITH SPACERS AND DIELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ON THIS AND TOLD NO OPEN RECALL; TOLD THAT IT WAS ALREADY ADDRESSED BY SERVICE AT DEVAN CHEVROLET, WILTON CT ON AUG 13, 2015. I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAD THE CAR AT THAT DEALER / SERVICE CENTER ON THAT DATE FOR ANOTHER MATTER- I HAD NO ISSUES OR SYMPTOMS WITH ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WHILE ITS POSSIBLE THAT DURING THAT VISIT THEY ACTIONED THE REMEDY DETAILED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER, AS THERE WAS NO NOTED ISSUE AT THAT TIME, I AM NOT SURE THEY DID ANYTHING THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE. NOW THAT THE SYMPTOMS ARE PERSISTENT, GM APPEARS TO DECLARE NO REPAIR IS REQUIRED UNDER THE RECALL.

STEERING
A YEAR AGO I HAD THE POWER STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. YESTERDAY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR (THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED). YET THE WARRANTY FROM THE LAST ONE I HAD REPLACED WAS UP. I CALLED GM TO SEE ABOUT THE DEFICIENT PART AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. ALSO, THEY DO NO SELL THE SENSOR TO CUSTOMERS, ONLY TO A DEALERSHIP - SO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN JUST TO GET A NEW SENSOR - THE PART THAT I JUST HAD REPLACED FROM THE RECALL! MY QUESTION IS NOW DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING DEFICIENT PARTS THAT THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND?!

STEERING
POWER STEERING WENT OUT, NEARLY WENT INTO DITCH. NOW SOMETIMES SHAKES THE WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING. SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK AT ALL - COMES AND GOES INTERMITTENTLY, PARKED, HAS NOT WENT TOTALLY OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING BUT HAS INTERMITTENT SHAKES. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT SOMEHOW (ACCORDING TO GM) MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT COVERED WHEN MOST OF 2008 AND 3 YEARS BEFORE AND 2 YEARS AFTER WERE 100% COVERED/RECALLED (BUILD DATE FEW MONTHS WINDOW IN LATE 2007?) . IF 5 YEARS OF PRODUCTION ON AT LEAST 3 VEHICLE MODELS GETS RECALLED, WHY NOT A COUPLE MONTHS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT?

POWER TRAIN
AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, OR ANY OTHER GEAR IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE SHIFT LEVER MOVES INTO THE POSITIONS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR REMAINS IN A NUETRAL POSITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT ALLOW ANY MOVEMENT. WITH THAT THE CAR IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD, OR REVERSE DEPENDING ON THE LEVELNESS OF THE AREA IT IS PARKED IN. ONCE THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF, THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THE ENGINE TRIES TO START, BUT WON'T. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE CAR WILL START AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE AGAIN.

MY AIR BAGS DON'T WORK IN MY CAR. MY CAR WAS KEPT OUTSIDE ALL THESE YEARS. MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND MY VOLUME FOR THE RADIO AND ILLUMINATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK. I NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT HAD ISSUES WITH AN AIRBAG. I'D BE WILLING TO SPEAK TO THE MEDIA AND TV PERSONNEL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY LIT WHILE DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN BRAKING. CURRENTLY THERE'S ONLY 50K MILES ON IT. TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY REPLACE SOME SWITCH BUT IT DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO IF THE MECHANICS CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM FOR A PERMANENT FIX. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH NO REAL "FIX." CHECKED FOR RECALL AND HAVEN'T FOUND ONE.

STEERING
2008 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND NEAR CRASHES. I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES, INTO OTHER VEHICLES, AND ACROSS MY FRONT LAWN WHEN TRYING TO TURN OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON 12/18/17 FOR RECALL #14118 (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING). UNDER THIS RECALL, DEALERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE THE EPS MOTOR. MY EPS MOTOR WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, REPLACING THIS MOTOR DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW RENDERED USELESS TO ME BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT ANY OTHER WORK PERFORMED TO RESOLVE THE POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT-OF-POCKET BY ME. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT (HENCE THE RECALLS) AND SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR ALLEVIATING THE PROBLEM CREATED BY THIS DEFECT.
