ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH, 2017. THE WARNING LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AT THE TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS TO BE DONE. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THEY KEEP THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ME TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BUT SAY THAT THEY CAN FIX IT AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET HAS GOTTEN OVERHEATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE PLASTIC HAS MELTED AWAY CAUSING THE LIGHT TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. I REPLACED THIS SOCKET MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE ALSO MADE SURE THAT ALL GROUNDING POINTS WERE CLEAR AND WORKING PROPERLY, WHICH THEY WERE ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE DATE I HAVE PROVIDED IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IF YOU GO ONTO THE INTERNET AND DO A GOOGLE SEARCH IT COMES UP INSTANTLY WITH COUNTLESS ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. MY SISTER OWNS THE SAME VECHILE BUT IS A 2006 AND SHE HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD BOTH LIGHTS FAIL AT NIGHT.

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER OCCUPANCY AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND DOES NOT READ IF ANYONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHOWS THAT THERE IS NOT A PASSENGER, WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS. THIS SENSER FAILED WHEN THE CAR WAS 5 YEARS OLD, WE HAD ONLY OWNED IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR, HAD BOUGHT THE CAR USED. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX $700 OR MORE FROM WHAT TH DEALER SAID. JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY, SHOWING AN AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG IS SET TO OFF ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH/WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT AREAS THAT I ASSUME ARE THE CAUSE OF MY CAR'S PROBLEMS. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS HAS STAYED OFF, REGARDLESS OF PASSENGERS BEING PRESENT SINCE 2014, I BELIEVE. USING THE KEY DOES NOT CHANGE THE AIR BAG STATUS. ALSO THIS MAY BE PART OF THE ELECTRICAL AREA, BUT AT AROUND THE SAME TIME MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN I REALIZED BOTH THINGS. ALSO I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRACTION CONTROL COMING ON OUT OF NO WHERE, AND INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE SPEED BEING REDUCED, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. SOMETIMES IT WILL LIKE RESET AFTER I PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR OVER 10 MINUTES, BUT IT WILL COME BACK ON REPEATEDLY. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WAIT RESTART, PULL OVER WAIT RESTART SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A USUAL 20 MINUTE DRIVE AT TIMES. ALSO I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR COMPRESSOR STAYING ENGAGED. MY CAR KIND OF BOGS DOWN WHEN THE COMPRESSOR DOES KICK IN, AND IT REPEATEDLY KICKS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ANY DISTANCE AT ALL. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY. THE MESSAGE CENTER ON THE RADIO CONSTANTLY SAYS THAT I HAVE LOW COOLANT, BUT THAT IS AN ERROR MESSAGE. IN THE SUSPENSION AREA MY WHOLE FRONT END(STRUTS, BALL BEARINGS, ETC) SEEM TO BE BAD. WHEN I DRIVE OVER A SMALL BUMP THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERS AND PULLS WILDLY TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. IT FEELS LIKE MY TIRES HIT INTO THE RIM ITSELF OVER SPEED BUMPS WHEN I AM DRIVING MERELY 10 MILES PER HOUR.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
REPEATEDLY THIS CAR IS WORKED ON DUE TO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. THE HEADLIGHT WIRING HAS SHORTED OR BURNED BEFORE AND AFTER THE RECALL (MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES). NOW AIRBAG SENSORS SHORTED OUT AND WIRING WAS BURNED. THAT WAS JUST REPLACED HOWEVER MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT CLICKING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN THAT CAUSES CRUISE CONTROL AND AIR CONDITIONING TO TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. 2014 INTERMEDIATE SHAFT RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY CAR. THIS CAR IS A MONEY PIT AND THE RECALLS DO NOT EVER FIX THE ISSUES. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE CLICKING YET NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN IT OR FIX IT. THE CLICKING IS NEW (LAST FEW WEEKS) YET ELECTRICAL ISSUES SHORTING OUT HAS BEEN REOCCURRING FOR YEARS.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
1) POWER STEERING UNIT SEEMS TO BE GOING IN OUT WHILE DRIVING. AFTER IT ACTS UP THERE IS A LOT OF PLAT IN THE STEERING UNTIL THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON SAME YEAR MODEL OF G6'S FOR SAME ISSUE. STARTED LAST SUMMER THEN STOPPED OVER THE WINTER, THEN STARTED AGAIN THIS SPRING. 2) PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T WORK ALL OF THE TIME, OR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. KNOW RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF SAME YEAR LIKE ABOVE. HAS DONE THIS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT FROM THE DEALER. THEY TOLD US IT WOULD COST US $$$$ TO FIX IT.
