I'VE READ PLENTY OF OTHER INSTANCES WITH CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER SUCH AS A RECALL OR SPECIAL FIX? *TR

THE STEERING IS BAD ON EVERY ONE OF THIS CARS, BECAUSE OF THE RACK & PINION. RACK & PINION ,THEY GO OUT AROUND 50.000 MILES AND CAN CAUSE A CRASH, THE REAR OF A PONTIAC IS NOT UP TO ANY CODE, THE EXHAUST IS UNDER THE FUEL TANK WITH A METAL SHEETING BETWEEN THEM IF YOU GET REAR ENDED THEY WILL BE A FIRE OR A EXPLOSION. BECAUSE THEY ARE RIGHT AT THE PLASTIC BUMPER. AND GM IS KNOWS THE RISK BUT JUST SWEPT UNDER THE TABLE. PONTIAC IS BAD FOR GAS LEAKS BUT GM JUST FAILS TO FIX THE PROBLEM JUST LIKE RACK AND PINION. *TR

AIRBAG LAMP ILLUMINATES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYS AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION MESSAGE AND HAS A WARNING CHIME. DURING THIS TIME THE SYSTEM IS IDENTIFYING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING. THE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IF THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE AND INDICATOR LAMP GO AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST YEAR. IN ADDITION THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SOMETIMES FAILS TO TURN ON WITH THE VEHICLE, MAKING IT HARD TO TELL WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. DURING THIS TIME THE INFORMATION SCREEN/RADIO ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. THIS IS CORRECTED BY SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. *TR

I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC & HE SAID IT WAS CAUSED FROM THE RECALL (TRANSMISSION RECALL) GM HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, ALL THEY KEEP SAYING IS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THE GOVERNMENT PUTS THE VIN #'S ON FOR RECALL, SO MY QUESTION IS, HOW DOES MY CAR OR ANY CAR GET PUT ON THE RECALL LIST? WHEN CLEARLY MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES? GM STATES THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS THE ONE TO PUT THE "VIN" ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (TRANSMISSION).

WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK IT CAN BE EASILY "MOVED". IF YOU PUSH ON THE CAR SLIGHTLY IS MOVES FORWARD OR BACKWARD APPROX. 3-4 INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION. IT ALSO SEEMS TO SLIP INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING AT APPROX. 30 MPH CAUSING A JERKING MOTION. *TR

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT STEERING WHEEL BEGAN GRINDING AND POPPING. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES TIGHT AND I CANNOT KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT.

WHILE TURNING INTO INTERSECTIONS, STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY FORCE THE WHEEL TO TURN AND IT WILL NOT MAKE SHORT TURNS, ALL TURNS ARE LIKE DRIVING A SEMI, MUST MAKE WIDE TURNS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A BAD FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR AREA OF THE CAR. THE SMELL WAS FAINT IN THE BEGINNING BUT THE LONGER I WAIT TO HAVE IT FIXED THE WORSE IT BECOMES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GM THE INHALATION OF GAS FUMES IS NOT SAFE BUT THE COST TO HAVE THIS FIXED IS ANYWHERE FROM $400 TO $1000 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GO TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFAULT AND NEEDS SERIOUS ATTENTION. PLEASE GM GIVE US A BREAK! *TR

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.

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY WHILE IT WAS SECURED IN PARK.

THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY HAND HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE CUT-OFF(LOST ALL POWER).I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY AND TURN THE SWITCH TO OFF AND CRANK THE VEHICLE AGAIN. AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT I CAN RECALL THIS HAPPENING YEARS AGO, I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. *TR

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS AS I ATTEMPTED TO PARK. ONCE THE SHIFTER WAS MOVED TO THE PARK POSITION AND MY FOOT RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. UPON INSPECTION, IT BECAME KNOWN THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE LINKAGE WAS FRACTURED. I FOUND THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL BY GM ON PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM MAY 26, 2004 TO SEPTEMBER 28,2007 (MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 VEHICLES). THE RECALL (RECALL 14152) CONTAINS THE WORDING "IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION MAY NOT MATCH THE INDICATED GEAR AND THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE IN AN UNINTENDED OR UNEXPECTED DIRECTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH". THIS IS THE EXACT SYMPTOM WHICH STRUCK MY VEHICLE. UPON CONTACTING GM ABOUT THIS RECALL, I WAS TOLD THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED IN THEIR PREDETERMINED LOT OF CARS THEY BELIEVE TO BE AFFECTED. THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT GM OPENLY ADMITS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES THEY PRODUCED WITHIN THE YEAR RANGE MINE WAS MANUFACTURED, SHOULD BE CAUSE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS AGITATED BY THE CHOICE OF MATERIALS USED IN THIS SPECIFIC FORCE APPLICATION. THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM THAT CAN BE ISOLATED TO CERTAIN VEHICLES BASED OF THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS OF SELECT PLANTS. THE GENERAL ENGINEERING DESIGN APPROVED AND RELEASED BY GM, OR THEIR SUPPLIER, WAS FLAWED. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT I AM FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A FIX RELATING TO A DESIGN FLAW THAT GM IS TRYING TO SELECTIVELY DOWNPLAY. AN INSTALLATION ISSUE COULD BE UNDERSTANDABLY FOCUSED ON A SPECIFIC ASSEMBLY PLANT, BUT A COMPONENT FAILURE BY BREAKAGE OR FRACTURING IS AN OBVIOUS MIS-APPLICATION OF A POOR DESIGN. *TR

THE CAR TOTALLY LOST ELECTRICAL POWER. MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND TWO GRAND KIDS (1 & 4 YRS OLD) WERE IN THE CAR. THE POWER WINDOWS HAD BE ACTING UP FOR A WHILE BUT ON THIS DAY ALL THE POWER WENT OUT. AFTER SHE CONTROLLED THE CAR TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAITED 10 MINUTES IT WOULD START AGAIN. SHE THEN TRIED TO DRIVE BACK ROADS HOME. ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES AGAIN. FINALLY WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER SHIP. AND AGAIN THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS CAR. IT WILL NOW COST US OVER $500 DOLLARS TO FIX ON TOP OF THE $2500 LAST TIME. THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AS BEEN GREAT BUT IN THIS CASE HAVE BEEN OF NO HELP. OVER $3000 DOLLAR OUT WITHOUT ANY COMPENSATION FROM GM OR THE DEALER (BETTEN / BAKER CHEVROLET IN COOPERSVILLE, MICHIGAN). *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN. IT HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE PAST BUT THEY ARE GETTING WORSE. THE DELAY POWER TO THE LIGHTS AND RADIO DO NOT SEEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE RADIO IS TO REMAIN ON UNTIL THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPENED. WELL IT NOW DOES NOT SHUT OFF AT TIMES. SOMETIMES IT WILL "TIME OUT" AFTER THE 10 MINUTES IF THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF BUT ONCE I TURNED OFF THE CAR, LOCKED THE DOORS AND ASSUMED IT WOULD TIME OUT. THE NEXT MORNING I GOT IN THE CAR AND THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WERE ON. I WAS AMAZED THE BATTERY WASN'T DEAD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN IS QUITE AN ANNOYANCE TO MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IS REQUIRES ME TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE DELAY TO CUT OFF. *TR
