THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BROKEN ON THIS CAR. TO REPAIR THE CAR, IT HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. GM LATER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GM SAFETY RECALL 14152 ISSUED IN JULY 2014, BUT NOTED THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL NOTICE. A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WAS ISSUED BY GM IN SEPTEMBER 2014. I COMPLETED THE CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM FOR THE REPAIRS COMPLETED ON MAY 5, 2014 AND SUBMITTED TO GM ON 10/15/2014. THE TOTAL BILL FOR REPAIRS WAS $451.61. GM HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE TOW BILL OF $158.00. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE WITH THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKEN AND TOWING THE CAR WAS THE ONLY WAS TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GM CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT FORM STATES THAT ALL "REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY COSTS TO CORRECT THE CONDITION DESCRIBED WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR REIMBURSEMENT". I FEEL THE TOW BILL OF $158 IS REASONABLE AND WAS REQUIRED TO REPAIR THIS CAR A FULL TWO MONTHS BEFORE GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE CONDITION AS NOTED IN THEIR RECALL NOTICE 14152. I CAN PROVIDE ALL BILLING DOCUMENTATION I HAVE FOR THE REPAIRS IF NEEDED. GM (VIA THEIR DEALER KINDRED CHEVROLET) PAID $293.61 ON 12/18/2014 USING THEIR CLAIM NUMBER [XXX]. AS I STATED ABOVE, THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE REST OF THE BILL ( $158.00) FOR TOWING THE CAR ON MAY 5, 2014 FOR REPAIRS.

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE. MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL SO I WAS NOT SENT A NOTICE. I WAS SENT NOTICES FOR RECALLS TO THE CAR FOR "BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION" AND "TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURE". ON DEC 15, 2014 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE FROM KISSIMMEE, FL TO DOWN TOWN ORLANDO, THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR FAILED! THE ALARM WENT OFF AND THEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR'S POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THEN ASK THEM WHY I DID NOT GET A NOTICE OF THE RECALL BUT FOUND IT ON THE INTERNET; THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. THEY FIXED THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS BUT REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK MY CAR'S POWER STEERING. I CALLED GMC DIRECT AND SPOKE TO [XXX] (QUALITY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE) DIRECTOR. SHE PASSED MY CONCERN ONTO ANOTHER DEPT. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT POWER STEERING HAS FAILED IN THE 2006 G6 BUT THAT SINCE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I AM DRIVING A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. I AM UNEMPLOYED LOOKING FOR A JOB AND NEED MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF WHAT COULD COST $1500.00 TO REPAIR AN ERROR ON GMC'S SIDE. MORE PEOPLE ARE AT RISK IN THE 2006 G6 AND GMC NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CARS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURES. BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONS

SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE APPEARS FREQUENTLY AND PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED, EVEN IF A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.
