MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF THE FAULTY GGAS TANK LEAK COVERING THE G6 UP TO 2008 BUT MINE IS A 2009. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO NOT COVER EVERY YEAR THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE GAS LEAKS RIGHT ONTO THE MUFFLER WHICH IS HOT AND CAN BE DEADLY IN MY OPINION. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE I TOOK A GOOD LOOK AT HOW BAD THE LEAK ACTUALLY IS. PONTIAC HAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE DEATH IF THE GASOLINE IGIGNITESR THE FUMES FALLING DIRECTLY ON THE HOT MUFFLER CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.I TOOK SEVERAL PHOTOS SHOWING THE EXTENT OF THE LEAK. PONTIAC CUSTOMER SUPPORT SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN A PLANT THAT FIXED THE LEAK ISSUE ALREADY. WHEN I ASKED THE REP IF IT WAS FIXED ALREADY EHY WAS IT LEAKING HE HAD NO ANSWER. ONLY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF OUT OF POCKET. HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO PUT THE PUBLIC AT GRAVE RISK AND NOT BE RESPINSIBLE FOR FIXING THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? THIS ISSUE SERMS VERY SERIOUS TO ME SND I JUST PRAY NOBODY GETS BLOEN UP.IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO? UNBELIEVABLE... P.S. CAR LEAKS ANYTIME IT IS ON AND GAS LINES ARE PRESSURIZED. IN THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MUFFLER IS BATHED WITH GASOLINE WHICH CAN EASILY CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE DEALER (LEE PETERSON MOTORS OF YAKIMA, 410 S 1ST ST, YAKIMA, WA 98901, (509) 731-3946) STATED THAT AN EXTRA PART NEEDED TO BE PURCHASED CONCERNING THE WIRING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE MELTING THERE CONNECTOR MAKINGTHE LIGHTS TO GO OUT RANDOM AND SOME TIMES BLOWING THE LIGHT BULBS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME DAY AND NIGHT IN MOTION OR NOT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND IM DRIVING AS I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AND OTHER DRIVERS CAN'T SEE ME. THE HIGH BEAMS DO WORK BUT THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ANY TRAFFIC AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO NOT BE A BE TO SEE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 3 MPH AND MAKING A U-TURN, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND THE POWER STEERING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,500.

THE SOLUTION GM HAS FOR RECALL #14V252000 DOES NOT WORK. THE RECALL WAS FIXED 9/2014 AND ON 10/31/15 THE SAME PROBLEM WAS NOTICED. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED, GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP ON 11/09/15. THEY REPLACED A BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. NOTICED ON 11/09/15 IN PM THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DO NOT CHANGE WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. A SERVICE TRACTION CAME ON 11/10/15 AND AGAIN ON 11/17/15. I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT TWICE SHOWING THE MILEAGE AND TIME. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS NHTSA RECALL #14V252000 (GM RECALL #13036) ON THIS WEBSITE! I KNOW THIS WILL NOT BE TAKEN CARE OF UNLESS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE DIE FROM AN ACCIDENT JUST LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL!!

RIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT BULB. REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. NOT SURE IF THERE IS A POWER SURGE CAUSING THE ISSUE OR A SHORT IN THE WIRE. APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY STEERING SUDDENLY FELT TIGHTER THAN USUAL. WHEN I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND MADE RIGHT TURN IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. THE WARNING CAME ON THAT SAID CHECK POWER STEERING.

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL WHEN CAR IS ON AND WHEN CAR IS PARKED. I WAS TOLD FUEL TANK HAS A LEAK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

MY G6 WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE BCM. THE PROBLEM CAUSED LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, CRUISE CONTROL AND THE LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. A SWITCH WAS REPLACED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THE BCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST $800. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL WAS "INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BMC MAY RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS". I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACING THE BCM. IT IS VERY SCARY AND UPSETTING WHEN THE "SERVICE TRACTION" WARNING APPEARS WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT AND NOT KNOWING IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON OR NOT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM JAMES CORLEW AND WAS COMING HOME PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I WENT OUTSIDE TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR WASH GOING DOWN A HILL AND WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL MY CAR JUMPED ALL THE LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER WENT OFF THE RADIO FLICKERED AND AND OUT AND MY CAR DIED MID DRIVING DOWN A HILL I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION DOWN MY HILL AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT AND TO THE OFF POSITION. AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT CAME ON FINE I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME AND HE JUST TOLD ME THAT IT HAD AN ELECTRICAL JUMPSTART WHERE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG TIME. I WEEK PASSES AND I'M GOING TO WORK PARK IT. I GET OFF AND IT'S 9 O'CLOCK AND I'M TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY I PULLED OUT AND MY CAR JUMPED AGAIN BUT IT DIDN'T SHUT OFF THE POWER STARING WARNING CAME ON ON MY RADIO AND THE STEERING WENT OUT . I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF SAT THERE FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. IT DID IT TWO MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. I WAS TIRED OF IT HAPPENING SO I TOOK IT BACK TO MY CAR LOT AND ASK THEM IF IT HAD ANY RECALLS ON IT THEY TOLD ME NO IT ONLY HAD ONE ON THE BACK TAILLIGHT AND THE GEARSHIFT. SO THEY ACTED LIKE THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS NOW IT'S STEERING EASY TO THE RIGHT BUT STEERING HARD TO THE LEFT. AND THEY SAY THERE'S NO RECALL ON IT BUT I LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT 2009 G6 HAS RECALLS ON IT ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BUT I HAVEN'T GOT NO PAPER AND THE MAIL FROM GM I'M NOT PAYING FOR THEIR MISTAKES. IF I GET INTO A WRECK OVER IT SOMEBODY WILL GET SUED. BECAUSE I LET JAMES CORLEW NO THREE TIMES AND THEY ALL TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING. THERE WAS ONE PREVIOUS OWNER SO IF IT HAD A RECALL ON IT COULD THE PAPER HAVE WENT TO THEM ON ACCIDENT?

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PULL OUT AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE RADIO POWER STARING SO I DRIVE FOR ABOUT A MILE AND I PULL OVER AT A GAS STATION AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND SIT THERE FOR TWO MINUTES AND CUT IT BACK ON AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL IT SHOOK HARD WHEN THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK.

STARTED NOTICING A PROMINENT GAS SMELL EVERYTIME I PULLED MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. I LOKKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND NOTICED A DRIP, TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE FUEL LINE RUPTURED. I FOUND A GM CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12190, THE DEALER SAID I AM NOT COVERED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN CA WHICH IS ONE THE STATES THAT SUCH CAMPAING MENTIONS TO BE COVERING. THE SMELL IS VERY NOTICEABLE AFTER PLACING THE IGNITION IN ACC, WHICH PRIMES THE PUMP I ASSUME, IF THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS OR OVERNIGHT THE SMELL IS GONE. I BELIEVE THAT MY VIN SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY GM AS THIS IS PRESENT A FIRE HAZRD AND POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE ISSUE OF THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON IN MY CAR, WHICH WILL CAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK, AND, MY BREAK LIGHTS TO EITHER STAY ON ALL THE TIME, STAY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING, SHUT OFF WHILE I BREAK, OR, JUST NOT COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE AT THE BCM MODULE CLEANED 3 TIMES, THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. I HAVE COMPLETED THE RECALL THE GM FINALLY DID, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE EITHER. I FINALLY TODAY HAD TO GET MY ENTIRE BCM MODULE REPLACED, AND A VERY HIGH COST! I THINK THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THESE ENTIRELY, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO FIX THE "RECALL" IS NOT WORKING!

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE NOTICEABLE FROM 10 OR MORE FEET AWAY FROM VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OR RUNNING. CANNOT PARK IN GARAGE DUE TO STRONG FUEL SMELL. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OVERFILLED. SMELL HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE FOR MANY MONTHS BUT IS GETTING STRONGER LATELY. RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET YIELDS MANY RESULTS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, FOCUSED ON A DEFECTIVE ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUOUSLY BURNS OUT. I HAVE REPLACED IT 5 TIMES APPROXIMATELY ONCE PER MONTH. I AM VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BULB. I HAVE ALSO BOUGHT THE BULBS FROM DIFFERENT STORES JUST IN CASE IT WAS A BAD BATCH.

ON 4/7/15, WHILE DRIVING HEARD CHIMES. ALL ICONS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED ON. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE MOVED TO EMPTY. THE LOW FUEL GAUGE TURNED ON. ALL THIS INDICATING MALFUNCTION. THE ODOMETER TURNED OFF AND THE CODE ERROR CAME ON AND TURNED OFF; THEN THE ODOMETER CAME BACK ON. ALL THE ICONS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR THE SECURITY LIGHT ICON WHICH STAYED ON.

I FEEL GM SHOULD FOOT THIS BILL AS A CUSTOMER COURTESY DUE TO THE PREDICAMENT THIS VEHICLE PUT ME IN. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE THAT IS 6 YEARS OLD AND 80,000 MILES. *TR

LOW BEAM LAMP PASSENGER SIDE OUT. NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER I. BOUGHT A NEW SYLVANIA BULB. TWO WEEKS LATER OUT AGAIN. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH G6; GM & MORE THAN LIKELY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX IMMEDIATELY. I JUST BOUGHT CAR FROM DEALER & ON SSDI; THEREFORE, HAVE NO MONEY TO EVEN PURCHASE ANOTHER BULB LET ALONE HOUSING, CONNECTOR STUFF ETC.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUR OF VEHICLES; SEE CARFAXS ON THIS MODEL. ALTHOUGH MY CARFAX WAS CLEAN I NOW THINK THIS IS WHY CAR SOLD BY OLD OWNER. *TR

LUCKILY, THE CAR WASN'T DAMAGED BESIDES A SCRATCH TO THE SIDE AND DENTED RIM, BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS GOING SLOWLY. THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT IT, THE POWER STEERING TRIED TO COME BACK ON, SURGED, AND CAUSED MY CAR TO SWERVE OFF OF THE ROAD. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PONTIAC/GM HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT SO FAR, EVEN THOUGH OTHER CARS OF THE EXACT SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

NOW MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. *TR
