WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE IS POTENTIALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT CABLE. OF THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN SHUT OFF THEN THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. UNFORTUNATELY THE POTENTIAL.ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT CABLE IS IT MAY LOOK.LIKE THE CAR IS IN PARK BUT MAY NOT BE. LEADING TO THE CAR POSSIBLY ROLLING AWAY AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND RECALLS FIXED .THIS NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THESE CARS.

POWER TRAIN
THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR TRANSMISSION CABLE THAT CAUSED MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SHIFTER TO NOT PROPERLY STAY IN GEAR. MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT THE RECALL WAS FIXED ANYWAYS. A YEAR AND HALF AFTER RECALL WAS FIXED THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY HAPPENED DESPITE SO CALLED BEING "FIXED". I CALLED GM TO REPORT THIS AND THEY STATED THEY COULD ONLY DO SOMETHING A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL SO I AM 6 MONTHS OUT OF THIS. EITHER THEIR FIX DIDN'T WORK OR THEIR FIXED CAUSED THE PROBLEM. EITHER WAY MY CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE AND I'M BEING FORCED TO FIX THIS OUT OF POCKET. I'M HOPING YOU CAN POSSIBLY HELP GET GM TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CAN GET THE COPIES OF RECALL AND IT ACTUALLY BEING FIXED IF NECESSARY. HOW THE PROBLEM HAPPENED: CAR WAS PARKED IN PARK POSITION AT A PARKING LOT. ONCE STARTED, AND FOOT APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL, TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD FREELY MOVE INSTEAD OF SHIFTING PROPERLY. IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN PARKED. THANK YOU. THE CAR IS 2007 PONTIAC G6 [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAD CAR IN FOR RECALL OF SHIFT CABLE IN 2014. ON AUGUST 4 2016 I WENT TO PARK CAR AND THERE WERE NO GEARS, CAR ROLLED INTO A FENCE BEFORE I COULD GET IT STOPPED. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT CAR. HE FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG, WHICH IS PART OF SHIFT CABLE THAT WAS RECALLED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE WAS NOT REPLACED AS THE PARTS ARE ORIGINAL. I HAVE PICTURES OF ORIGINAL PART ON MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE SHIFT CABLE TO BE REPLACED PROPERLY BUT HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH ANY DEALERS, INCLUDING THE DEALER WHO SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PART IN 2014. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE TO FIX PART ON MY OWN. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH A LAWYER TO SUE THE DEALER AND GM IF CAR IS NOT FIXED. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
I HAD POWER STEERING LOSE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEN IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT LIKE RESETS AND THEN IT'S FINE I ALSO HAD A FRIEND OF MINE TEXT ME AND TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BACKWARDS WHEN I WHEN I WAS BREAKING THE LIGHTS WERE OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAVE ALSO ALWAYS NOTICED THAT MY CAR SHIFTS WEIRD SOMETIMES WHEN I'M PASSING IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I CAN GET UP TO SPEED. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR AND 2010 IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD WITH VERY FEW MILES. RIGHT NOW I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 81,000 MILES ON IT. WITH ALL OF MY INCIDENTS WITH THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE LIGHTS I HAVE BEEN IN TOWN DRIVING ALL WERE IN MOTION. IN TOWN DRIVING HAS PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT 35 MILE AN HOUR I WOULD NEVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE OR HAVE ANY OF THESE ON THE HIGHWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR HAS BARELY STARTED FROM THE TIME THAT I'VE PURCHASED IT A COUPLE YEARS AGO. MORE RECENTLY I GOT IT TO START AFTER A FEW TRIES AND WHEN I GOT TO A RED LIGHT IT CUT OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON. I WAS THEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE MY CAR AT A DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE CAR AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS SEVERAL OTHER THINGS OUTSIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL. I AM ALSO FINDING THAT THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME TO OTHER OWNERS. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR A CAR THAT HAS NEVER RAN PROPERLY FOR ME AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 YEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY CAR WAS RECALLED DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON AND LOSINIG CRUISE CONTROL. WAS REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ION 9/04/2014 IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY RECALL. RECENTLY THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK MY CARE FOR THE FINAL RECALL TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE AND ALSO REPORTED TO THEM THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ONCE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THAT RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, I RESPONDED WITH THE PART THEY FIXED FOR THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT FAILED AGAIN AFTER THE RECALL FIX. THEY RESPONDED THAT THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED IT WAS FIXED WITH DIALETIC GREASE AND A ZIP TIE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AGAIN FOR IT SEEMS LIKE GM HAS JUST PUT A BAND AID ON A GUSHING WOUND TO AVOID PAYING AND FIXING THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. AND I AM STUCK EITHER PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THE DEALER QUOTED OR CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD GET ME KILLED! FOR NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS EITHER STAY ON OR MAY NOT WORK AT ALL, EVEN IN PARK WITH THE CAR IDLING THEY STAY ON UNTIL I TAP THE BRAKES THEN THEY SOMETIMES DO NOT COME ON WHEN TAPPED AGAIN.
