MY CASE NUMBER IS 8-1941918151. THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER. THEY ARE AGREEING WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE RECALL BUT I DON'T THINK IT EVER FIXED THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STEER. IN A PARKING LOT OF A GROCERY STORE. I WAS TRYING TO GET AROUND ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS COMING AT ME TOO FAST. ALL THE TIMES THAT THIS HAPPENS.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON STATEN ISLAND AND STARTED TO MAKE A TURN AND THE STERING STOPPED WORKING. SHE WAS ABLE TO GO STRAIGHT AND PULLED THE CAR TO THE CURB. WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER. HE SAID HE WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC. THE NEXT DAY HE SAID THAT THE KNUCKLE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN TO RACK AND PINION BINDING HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR AND IT HAD 50,402 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY MANFREDI OF STATEN ISLAND. THE INVOICE NUMBER IS 69759 AND THE TOTAL COST WAS $595.96. WHEN I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR.

WHEN LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, MY STEERING WHILE JERKED, THE SINGER SOUNDED, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY DISPLAY SCREEN SAID POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. I GOT TURNED AROUND AND DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO MY MECHANIC. STILL VERY HARD TO STEER. AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTING, IT HAD RESET ITSELF AND BEGAN STEERING FINE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF A RECALL. I CHECKED IT OUT ONLINE. IT STATED THAT ALL 2005 G6 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED GM. THEY CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND SAID MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET.

POWER STEERING IS ALWAYS FAILING AGAIN OVER TIME ONCE I HAD THE RECALL FIXED NUMEROUS OF TIMES... MY STEERING WONT LET ME TURN THE CAR I ALMOST CRASHED GOOD I DECREASED MY SPEED, I HAD TO SHUT HER OFF THAN RESTART IT... I REPLACED INNER AND OUTTER TIE RODS, CONTROL ARMS, AND STRUCT ASSEMLY, PROBLEM STILL EXIST..BRAKES LIGHT ILLUMINATE WHEN EVER THEY WANT. EVEN IF YOUR PARKED WITHOUT ENGAGING IT... I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE DRIVER CURSED ME OUT AND SAID YOUR BRAKES WORK I SAID YES, BUT WHEN I SHOWED HER WHAT WAS GOING ON THE BRAKES ILLUMINATE WHEN IM NOT ON THE BRAKES THAN WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF,, WEIRD....

THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS ON IT'S OWN LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE IN PARK. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING FREQUENTLY UPON STARTING UP THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY IT REGAINS POWER STEERING.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT AND SIGNAL LIGHT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THE SIGNAL LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT BLINK TWICE, THEN GOES OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHT MIGHT COME ON FOR AS LONG AS 10 SECONDS WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKE. I CHANGED THE BULBS, TO NO AVAIL. I EVEN PURCHASED A NEW WIRING HARNESS. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTROL MODULE. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS. I CONTACTED BYFORD BUICK/GMC HERE IN CHICKASHA, OKLA. TO DO THE RECALL. THIS DEALER HAS A HISTORY OF TAKING A CUSTOMERS CAR IN FOR RECALL, THEN TELLING THE CUSTOMER THE RECALL DIDN'T ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND RUNNING UP A HUGE BILL. WHEN I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION RECALL, I WAS VERY SPECIFIC THAT THEY ONLY DO THE RECALL, AND NOTHING MORE. THEY CALLED TWO DAYS LATER AND SAID THE CAR WAS READY. WHEN WE PICKED IT UP, THE BRAKE LAMP WAS STILL NOT WORKING. THEY SAID THEY ONLY FIXED THE RECALL, I SAID THAT WAS WHAT THE RECALL NOTICE WAS FOR, WHAT DID YOU REPLACE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TIM SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE REPAIR WAS, HOWEVER THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT FOR $112 AN HOUR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR CAR. THERE IS A RECALL OF 550,000 PONTIAC G6'S FOR A BRAKE LAMP CONTROL MODULE. THE DEALER SAID THEIR RECALL WAS FOR A RETAINER CLIP. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS

IN 2012, I TOOK CAR TO WRIGHT GMC IN WEXFORD, PA FOR A RECALL ON THE STEERING. IT HAD NO PROBLEMS AT THIS POINT. THEY PERFORMED RECALL SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN ALL PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED STEERING BOX. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN IN 2013 BECAUSE IT DEVELOPED A "KNOCKING NOISE" IN THE STEERING ESPECIALLY AFTER A TURN WHEN YOU BRING THE WHEEL BACK.

THAT IT WAS OVER ONE YEAR AND NOT COVERED BY RECALL. HE SAID THEY START LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM IN BRAKES FIRST AND WORK THEIR WAY TO STEERING. I LAUGHED WITH ANGER AND LEFT. I DID TAKE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO DID REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS BUT SAID THEY EASILY WEREN'T THE CAUSE AND WERE NORMAL AND DEFINITELY NOT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. THE TIE ROD END WAS FINE AND HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY MEANT. THEY WERE FRAUDUENTLY ABUSING THEIR SERVICE WHICH HAPPENS OFTEN WITH PA. INSPECTIONS AS WELL.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW MY 2005 G6 HESITATES AND JERKS SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN I PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION. FROM 0-10 MPH THE CAR TAKES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO GAIN ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE LEVEL OF DEPRESSION APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, INCLUDING A GM DEALER. NOT A SINGLE MECHANIC INCLUDING GM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I CALLED GM TO PLACE A COMPLAINT, AND I STUPIDLY THOUGHT WITH ALL THE GM ISSUES AND LAW SUITS GOING ON NOW POSSIBLY THEIR ASSISTANCE AS 1) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. 2) MY CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 63K IN MILEAGE. I EXPLAINED TO GM THAT I CANNOT AT THIS TIME SAFELY ACCELERATE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY SHOULD I GOD FORBID HAVE TO. I REQUESTED THEM TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AS THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO SPEND MORE MONEY AND TAKE IT TO ANOTHER GM DEALER TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE. TOLD THEM THAT'S STUPID,4 MECHANICS INCLUDING A DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE ISSUE. LIKE MY STEERING ISSUE (BEFORE THE RECENT RECALL) GM BASICALLY TOLD ME TO DROP DEAD. THE GM REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IF NO MECHANIC CAN FIND IT, MAYBE ITS TIME FOR A NEW CAR. *TR
