2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK ON DAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR. I HAD TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES. SINCE THEN POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH, STEERING WHEEL TURNS LEFT ON ITS OWN,( WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL), AND JERKS LEFT TO RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY. BUT ONCE THE CAR THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS RIGHT ON ITS OWN AND CENTERS ITSELF. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED BACK ON THE WHEEL THEN TURNS LEFT AGAIN ON ITS OWN. I HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY MADE WORSE. TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT IS MUCH EASIER THAN TURNING RIGHT ALL THE TIME. IF SITTING STILL AND WHEELS ARE TURNED RIGHT, THE WHEEL WILL THEN TURN ALL THE WAY LEFT AGAIN AS THOUGH IT IS POSSESSED. *TR

MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, CHIME SOUNDED AND "POWER STEERING" APPEARED ON THE INFO SCREEN. CAR WAS HARD TO STEER. CONTINUES TO GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING.

MY TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND FUSE AND STILL NOTHING. ALSO THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. IT HAD WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. ALSO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO GET THEM FIXED BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS WONDERING WHY? ALL THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THIS MAKE YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH ON MINE. SO HOW IS IT DETERMINED WHICH VINS GET RECALLED. I HAVE KIDS AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH IT. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE TAIL LIGHT ISSUE, AND CAN HARDLY DRIVE IT DAILY DUE TO THE POWER STEERING BEING OUT IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WHAT THE NEXT STEPS I SHOULD DO. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WITH THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V153000(STEERING); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MY CAR CHIMED AND THE 'POWER STEERING' MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FROM A DEALERSHIP, AND HAD NO WARNINGS OF STEERING PROBLEMS. *TT

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASN'T USING THE BRAKES AND WENT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING USED, I'VE GOTTEN STOPPED BEFORE FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, VERY FRUSTRATING, DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT NIGHT AND ON FWY. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER BUT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER A RECALL THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

SOMETIMES (RANDOMLY) THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT BEING PRESSED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I PRESS THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ACTUALLY GO OFF EVEN THOUGH I'M BRAKING. WHEN THIS BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ALSO DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL TO START. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER A ROAD BUMP OR ANY UNLEVELED ROAD SURFACE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FAIL. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WHO THEN CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE SAME FAILURES HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC ALSO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY WIFE WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND LOSS POWER IN HER STEERING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN FOR SOME TIME, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME WITH NO ISSUES. THE CAR WILL BE PARKED UNTIL WE CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING THEN POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING APPEARED ON INFO SCREEN AND THE CAR DINGED. SHE WAS VERY SCARED I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY CAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR THE 05 G6 AND "SOME" 06S BUT NOT MINE WELL GUESS WHAT MINE SHOULD BE... IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY CAUSE OF THIS I WILL OWN GM JUST LIKE THE OTHERS THEY NEED TO INCLUDE THIS RECALL TO ALL THE 06 G6S. *TR

CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS IS LEAKING AT ALL TIMES. EVEN WHEN PARKED. CAN'T PARK IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT MAKES MY HOME SMELL LIKE GAS. *TR

YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR GM PONTIAC G6 CARS, INCLUSIVE OF MY MODEL. IRONICALLY, WHEN I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK!!!! WHEN I CALLED T HE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GM IN DETROIT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS STILL "FRESH" AND THAT A COMPLETE VIN LIST HAD BEE COMPLETED YET FOR THE RECALL AND MAY NOT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH. SHE DID HOWEVER, ISSUE ME A CASE NUMBER AND PATCHED ME THROUGH TO THE LOCAL GM PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND TOLD ME, HE WOULD WORK WITH ME AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, BUT THE INFO FROM GM COULD BE SLOW COMING. GM NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL HERE!!!!!! SUPPOSE I HAD WRECKED OR WAS INJURED DUE TO THIS "NO WARNING" INCIDENT? I'M JUST ASKING FOR A QUICK RESOLVE!!! *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2008. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THIS CAR I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHEN I DRIVE THERE IS A SNAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND I CHECKING FOR A RECALL AND HAVE NOT FOUND ONE YET. *TR

POWER STEERING RANDOMLY QUITS WORKING. FIRST TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHER TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MERGING ONTO A MAIN ROAD OFF FROM A SIDE STREET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,808.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CLUNK, KNOCK OR RATTLE NOISE FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR DRIVING ON CURVES, TURNING, OR GOING OVER BUMPS AT BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT AND HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION/SHAKE WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE VERY VIOLENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CAR AND COMPLETELY DISABLE IT! A CONSTANT LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES OR WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED CAN BE HEARD. A TICKING OR KNOCKING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION AREA MAY SUBSIDE IN HOT TEMPERATURE. PANORAMIC SUNROOF LEAKES A WIND RUSH NOISE. INTERMITTENT LONG CRANK OR NO CRANK WITH A DELAYED START. HEADLAMP AND BACKLIGHTING HAVE LOW VISIBILITY OR INOPERATIVE. GEARSHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT OCCASIONALLY COMES ON OR FLICKERS. WHEN DOORS ARE LOCKED THE LOCKING MECHANISM MAY NOT RELEASE BY KEY OR REMOTE AND I HAVE TO CRAWL INSIDE FROM THE TRUNK IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE CAR. THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOES NOT ENGAGE/ PUSH AIR ON SETTING 3 BUT WORKS ON 1 2 AND 4. THE FAMOUS "MONSOON" RADIO HAS HORRIBLE SOUNDING SPEAKERS AS IF BLOWN HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT. I HAVE SEEN MORE THAN 1 CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY REPAIRING STEERING, BRAKES, ROTORS, ALIGNMENT, TIRES BALANCED ETC. HOWEVER PROBLEMS ARE STILL OCCURRING IN MY VERY RECENT PURCHASED G6. NOW I SEE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT ACCORDING TO GM WEBSITE MY VIN# IS NOT LISTED AS BEING RECALLED. WELL APPARENTLY IT DOES AND SHOULD BE RECA

LUCKILY FOR ME I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING MY DRIVEWAY AND MADE IT TO THE END. AS I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE, I SUDDENLY HEARD A CHIME. MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO SEE IF MY SEATBELT WAS CONNECTED. THEN MY STEERING WHEEL JAMMED. AND I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON, SO I BRAKED AND AS I REACHED TO TURN DOWN MY RADIO TO PICK UP MY CELL AND ASK SOMEONE WHAT THAT COULD MEAN, I SAW ON MY DISPLAY THE WORDS POWER STEERING. SO I REVERED BACK INTO MY PARKING AREA AND EXITED THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN MAKING PHONE CALLS. LONG STORY SHORT, GM IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND LIES. I HAVE IT IN WRITING AND VOICE MESSAGES WHERE THEY STATE THEY WILL PAY FOR A TOW AND A RENTAL, WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE TOW TODAY I CALLED THE NUMHER PROVIDED FOR ME, THAT I READ BACK AS I WROTE IT DOWN, AND IT WAS A FALSE NUMBER. I EMAILED GM SEVERAL HOURS AGO ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NOT RECIEVED A RESPONSE. MY APPT FOR MY CAR IS 10 AM TOMORROW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO GET MY CAR THERE OTHER THAN DRIVE IT, WHICH IS UNSAFE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE IT IN WRITING WHERE A MEMBER OF GM CUSTOMER CARE STATED MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE I JUST NEED TO USE EXTRA CAUTION TO STEER. THATS LIKE TELLING SOMEONE TO SLEEP WITH A STRANGER, ITS SAFE BUT HE CAREFUL YOU DONT CATCH A DISEASE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE COLUMN AND EVERYTHING. THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING. IT COST ME OVER $800 TO REPLACE. *TR

IGNITION FAULTY THEREFORE ENGINE LOCKED UP. NEED NEW IGNITION AND NEW ENGINE NEEDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

3 TIMES ALREADY MY STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRY TO PULL OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE. ONE TIME AT A STOP LIGHT IT DID GET STUCK AND WAS SHAKING. I HAD TO TURN OFF MY CAR AND WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING FAULTY POWER STEERING, WHICH GOES OUT WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION. IT DOES THIS WHEN JUST STARTING TO PULL OUT AND IT ALSO DOES IT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT MAKES YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND COULD RESULT IN A WRECK. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SERVICE AIIR BAG WARNING THAT HAS ALSO BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES. THE BREAKING SYSTEM ON MY GM IS ALSO FAULTY WITH THE LIGHTING. WHEN THE BREAK IS PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT PUSHED THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE CONTACTED GM NUMEROUS TIMES AND AM TOLD THAT THE RECALL IS NOT MODEL SPECIFIC THAT IT IS VIN SPECIFIC. IF MY CAR IS HAVING ALL OF THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUES, WHY IS IT NOT ALSO RECALLED? *TR

(2006 PONTIAC G6 GT) THE FIRST TIME I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY IGNITION & POWER STEERING WAS IN JANUARY OF 2014. I STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I TOWED IT TO A MECHANIC WHICH SAID EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING KNOWING THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. RECENTLY ON MARCH 6 2014 WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ONTO THE RADIO SCREEN. THE POWER STEERING DISABLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER AWAY FROM OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIFYING FEELING KNOWING I HAD NO CONTROL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WHICH THE WHEEL WAS MOVING AND SEEMED FINE TO DRIVE. I PULLED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 35 - 40MPH AND THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL. I STOPPED PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WENT HAYWIRE ALSO MY 6 CD CHANGER CHANGED THROUGH EVERY CD AND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. MECHANICS ARE STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WEEKS LATER, NOW MARCH 30 2014 I STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWEER STEERING IS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND IT IS NOT DRIVABLE. *TR

POWER STEERING IS DISABLED WHEN DRIVING AND THIS STARTED AT 94,200 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, A CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN 2007, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER FOR THE SIMILAR DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,860. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

LUCKILY IT WAS MY HUSBAND FOLLOWING ME, BUT WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, GOING ABOUT 50MPH, WHICH WAS THE SPEED LIMIT, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK WHEN I DID CAUSING MY HUSBAND BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO SLAM ON HIS BRAKES BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW I WAS STOPPING. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT HAPPENED ON A REGULAR SIDE STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAS A KNOCKING SOUND/NOISE COMING FROM IT WHEN I MAKE ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE STEERING AND HER CAR WAS FIXED BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER FOR MY CAR WHICH IS THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY CAR WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND ETC. IT FEELS LIKE A JERKING/PULLING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATE, AS IF IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS... EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE CAR SHOP, IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN THEY ARE TEST DRIVING MY CAR. SO IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE MECHANIC TO PINPOINT WHAT I AM REFERRING TO, WHICH IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE, BUT ONCE I WOULD GET GOING IT WOULD QUIT WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK SINCE 4/11/12. IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AS I'M DRIVING THE POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS AND THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.MY BREAK LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON IF THE BREAK IS NOT PUSHED DOWN AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS GO OFF. MORE RECENTLY, WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. I CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. MY CAR IS AFFECTED, BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN THE DFW AREA AND THE BREAK LIGHT ISSUE AND THE POWER STEERING ISSUE ARE CAUSING HUGE PROBLEMS FOR ME. IT IS TERRIFYING EACH TIME I HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE. AT THE DROP OF A HAT THE POWER STEERING JUST QUITS. GM DOES NOT SEE THIS AS AN ISSUE AND I AM REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE BRUSH OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE BY TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS BUT DOESN'T START. IT WILL MAKE A "WINDING" NOISE. IT WILL TAKE 2-3 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 30-40 TIMES SINCE 2009. DURING THIS SAME PERIOD WHILE DRIVING THE BEEP ALARM INSIDE THE CAR BEGINS GOING OFF CAUSE IT READS THAT SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE SEAT WAS EMPTY. IN ADDITION, WHEN A PERSON HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND VACATES THE SEAT THE SEAT OR SENSOR STILL REGISTERS A PERSON THERE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE ABOUT 6-8 TIMES. I HAD THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE MAKER LIGHT REPLACED AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS 6-8 TIMES. LASTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN STALLING BOTH AT INITIAL ACCELERATION AND WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 35MPH THE VEHICLES SUDDENLY LOSES ITS GEAR AND BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. TO ADD, I HAVE SPOKE TO 4-5 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME AND ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE JUST A YEAR DIFFERENT. *TR

"SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING LIGHT STARTED TURNING ON INTERMITTENTLY DURING SUMMER 2013. IT WOULD TURN ON FOR A MINUTE OR SO, THEN TURN OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS/WEEKS/MONTH. CALLED SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALER WHO STATED THAT IF IT DIDN'T STAY ON, IT WASN'T AN ISSUE TO ADDRESS. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, IN APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY 2014, THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALMOST 90% OF THE TIME. TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE SENSOR WEARS DOWN AFTER A WHILE, AND THAT EVEN IF WE DO REPLACE IT, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T COME ON AGAIN. I EXPRESSED THAT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED, BUT THE ADVISOR & MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY WILL DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED, BUT THAT THE LARGEST OF THE 3 LEVELS OF FRONT AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY RATHER THAN ONE OF THE TWO SMALLER AIRBAGS, AND THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE PERSON IN THE FRONT SEAT MAY TRIGGER THE LARGEST AIRBAG EVEN IF THEY ARE UNDERWEIGHT. AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED, I HAVE NO FAITH THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN. I SUSPECT, AS OTHERS HAVE STATED, THAT THE AIRBAGS SIMPLY WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS WOULD BE AN ODD OCCURRENCE CONSIDERING THAT WE BOUGHT THIS PARTICULAR CAR (NOT JUST THIS MODEL, BUT THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE) BECAUSE IT HAS THE ADDITIONAL SIDE AIRBAGS. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO BUY A CAR FOR ADDED SAFETY FEATURES ONLY TO HAVE SAFETY FEATURES FAIL AT THE TIME OF NEED. THE AIRBAG ISSUE ON ALL PONTIACS SHOULD BE FURTHER REVIEWED. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT OFF WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. *TR

18 WHEELER TRAVELING SOUTH ON X HIGHWAY AND GOING TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AS I WAS PASSING. TRUCK DRIVER PROVIDED INCORRECT INSURANCE INFORMATION TO LOCAL POLICE. TRUCK DRIVER THEN PROVIDED ACCIDENT VICTIM VIA CELLPHONE THE INCORRECT INFORMATION FOR A SECOND TIME. THE CLAIMS REP OF THE TRUCK COMPANY DID NOT ADMIT THE DRIVER WORKED FOR THEM UNTIL FOR THIS HE ACCIDENTALLY SAID SOMETHING THAT PROVED THE DRIVER WORKED FOR HIS COMPANY. INSURANCE INFORMATION WAS THEN PROVIDED WITH THE COMMENT, "I COULD CALL BUT WOULDN'T GET A DIME". THE INSURANCE COMPANY DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT PHYSICALLY. THEY LOOKED AT IT VIA GOOGLE MAPS WHICH DOES NOT SHOW MY 18' FEET OF SKID MARKS. NOR DID THE REQUEST PICTURES OF IT, ONLY THE CAR FROM THE BODY SHOP. THE ADJUSTOR LIED WHEN TAKING MY STATEMENT. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NOT SPOKEN TO THEIR CLIENT OR GOTTEN A POLICE REPORT BUT THEY KNEW INFORMATION THAT COULD HAVE ONLY COME FROM THEIR CLIENT. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT LOCAL POLICE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RUN OUT OF STATE VEHICLES TO VERIFY INSURANCE. THE DRIVER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE IN ANY STATE THAT IS NOT ALLOWED TO VERIFY THIS. MY CAR WAS PAID FOR NOW IT'S TOTALED. AS OF 3/16/2014, THE TRUCK DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY HAS NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THE ACCIDENT OR THE INJURY. *TR

DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHILE RAINING. LOST QUITE A BIT OF POWER AND STARTED TO STAHL. MESSAGE FLASHED ACROSS MESSAGE SCREEN STATING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". HAD TO PULL OF TO EMERGENCY SHOULDER LANE. LEFT CAR ON THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY FOR A LITTLE OVER 24 HOURS. CAME BACK NEXT DAY AND MY CAR STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WITH THE SAME OUTCOME. AROUND 4 WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, NO RAIN THIS TIME, I HEARD THE CHIME AND MESSAGE SCREEN FLASHED "POWER STEERING." MY POWER STEERING WAS IMMEDIATELY LOST, I MANAGED TO MERGE OVER TO LEFT LANE AND INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE MERGING, THE SCREEN CHIMED ONCE AGAIN BUT NOW DISPLAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". MY CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONCE STOPPED, I PULLED OUT KEY FROM IGNITION. REPLACED KEY IN EFFORTS TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. MY VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AT THIS POINT. AROUND 10 HOURS LATER, RETURNED TO VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY SHOULDER, CAR STARTED RIGHT UP ON THE FIRST TURN OF KEY. THIS EXACT INCIDENT HAPPENED 4 DAYS LATER WITH SAME OUTCOME. RECENTLY LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK, WHILE STARTING MY CAR, ONCE I PLACE MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE. MY MESSAGE SCREEN WILL CHIME AND DISPLAY "POWER STEERING" AND LOOSE ALL STEERING CAPABILITIES. I CAN FIX THIS MYSELF BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, REMOVING KEY, WAIT ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TRY AGAIN RESULTING IN NORMAL USE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 128,206.

THE CAR CUT OFF ALL THE TIME SUMMER OR WINTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO [XXX] AND OTHER CAR REPAIR PLACES AND KNOW ONE SEEM TO KNOW WHAT WRONG WITH IT. WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN AUG. OF LAST YEAR AND BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM EVERY SINCE. IT CUT OF AND READ ERROR ACROSS THE DASH BOARD AND WANT START BACK FOR SOMETIME, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR WHERE EVERY. I'M SCARE SOMEONE MAY GET HURT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR POWER STEERING POPPED UP ON THE RADIO AND ALL POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ON THE CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SOME MODELS HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE AND GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY MODEL IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER AND ON A TURN IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN A CORNER, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER MY CAR AROUND CORNERS AND INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE POWER STEERING ALERT ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS DESCRIBED IN GMS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10183A, ISSUED IN MAY 2012, WHICH EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON POWER STEERING COLUMNS FOR OTHER 2006 PONTIAC G6 CARS. HOWEVER, GM'S POSITION IS THAT MY VIN WASN'T SELECTED IN 2012 WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PUT OUT, SO THEY ARE UNWILLING TO COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S A PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN DESIGN AND THE POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ENGAGE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED BUT DISENGAGE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THE SYMPTOMS STARTED AT THE SAME TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TURN ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ACROSS A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY SO I COULD SAFELY STOP TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON SO THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD UNLOCK. I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL THAT GM HAD PUT OUT BACK IN 2010 BECAUSE OF THE EXACT SAME POWER STEERING ISSUES. AFTER BEING TOLD BY TWO DEALERSHIPS THAT MY CAR DID NOT FIT THE CRITERIA BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS. I THEN DECIDED TO CALL GMS PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AND ASK WHY A VEHICLE THAT IS DOING THE SAME THING THEY RECALLED VEHICLES FOR CAN'T FALL UNDER THEIR RECALL AND SERVICE BULLETIN THEY ISSUED. AFTER TALKED TO SOMEONE FOR QUITE A WHILE AND CONTINUED TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO MY CONCERN IS THAT EVEN THOUGH MY SITUATION MAY HAVE NOT BEEN AS SEVERE AS OTHERS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN. AND WHEN I GO TO THE MANUFACTURER OF MY VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY CONCERN I THINK THEY NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CARING AND ACTUALLY TRY TO HELP. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE!!

CAR STARTED GIVING A WARNING THAT DRIVER SEAT BELT WAS NOT FASTENED AND IT WAS, THE WARNING WOULD REPEATEDLY COME ON AND GO OFF FOR THE WHOLE DAY. THEN WHILE DRIVING WE LOST POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PRIVATE DRIVE. LEFT THE CAR AND OBTAINED A RIDE TO MY DESTINATION AND THE NEXT MORNING RETURNED, STARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS OK. CAR DOES SIT OUTSIDE AND NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT GLAD WE WERE NOT GOING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD ON THE CAR JUST ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THESE ISSUES AND IT WAS EXPENSIVE. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE A NORMAL ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR OF CAR AND WHAT'S SCARY IS WE ALSO OWN A 2008 G6. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, I JUST GOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE MESSAGE ON THE RADIO SCREEN POPPED UP AND SAID POWER STEERING FAILURE. I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL, IT WAS VERY HARD TO TRY AND GET MY CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ANY FASTER OR IN THE LEFT OR MIDDLE LANES ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN HIT OR HIT SOMEONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, GM HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT MY QUESTION IS IF I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY OUT THERE LIKE THIS, WHY HAVEN'T THEY SENT OUT NOTICES TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF THIS ISSUE? SINCE THEN, MY POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT TWICE AND SINCE GM WON'T COVER COSTS TO REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I AM FORCED TO TRADE IN MY CAR OR SELL IT. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER GM CAR BECAUSE OF THE LAX ATTITUDE THEY HAVE TOWARDS THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER PERTAINING TO THE STEERING COMPONENT HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT HAD EXCEEDED THE REQUIRED MILEAGE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,424.

HAS STRONG ODOR OF RAW FUEL, HOOKED TO TECH2 NO ERROR CODES, REPLACED GAS CAP-ISSUE NOT FIXED, AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION VISIBLE GAS LEAK FROM TOP OF THE GAS TANK. GM HAS RECALLED 2007 G5'S FOR SAME PROBLEM...THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE. NO ONE WANTS A BOMB ON WHEELS ON THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT ALL THE TIME. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 130K. NOW AT 151K GM WONT FIX IT. *TR

HAVING TROUBLE STEERING THIS CAR WHEN IT WANTS TO MESS UP CAN RESENT IF YOU SHUT IT OFF. *TR

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO MY G6 STARTED LEAKING WATER AROUND THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR AND I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD BECOME WET WHEN IT RAINED AND IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT IT SOAKS THE DRIVERS SEAT AND HEADLINER AND THE ENTIRE CAR HOLDS SO MUCH MOISTURE YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS. I HAVE A SUNROOF BY THE WAY. THIS PAST WEEKEND I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I PULLED BACK SOME OF THE HEADLINER AND LIKE THEY SAID THE DRAINAGE TUBES WERE NOT EVEN CONNECTED. WE TRIED TO RECONNECT THEM BUT THEY ARE SO SHORT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SHRUNK DUE TO HEAT BUT APPARENTLY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND THEY ARE CHARGING $1000 AT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE IT WHEN THIS IS A MANUFACTURE SCREWUP TO BEGIN WITH. THIS CAR HAS GAVE ME MORE PROBLEMS THAN ANYTHING. I'VE HAD THE ISSUE WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS STAYING ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WASN'T BEING DEPRESSED AND HAVE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THAT ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME MY CAR WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AND THEN THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME SOME RIDICULOUS AMOUNT CLAIMING IT WAS THE BRAKE SWITCH CAUSING IT TO DO THAT AND FINALLY I GOT IRRITATED AND FOUND OUT HOW TO DO WHAT THEY WOULD TO FIX THE RECALL MYSELF AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY MORE ISSUES WITH THAT SO FAR. LONG STORY SHORT THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF JUNK AND I WISH I WOUL

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKES. THEN THE SECURITY LOCK ON THE DASH PANEL LIT UP, AS IF I HAD LOCKED AND ACTIVATED THE SECURITY SYSTEM VIA THE KEY FOB. I WAS STILL DRIVING, SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO ACTIVATE THE SECURITY SYSTEM. AS I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE, I NOTICED THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY ACROSS THE STREET BEFORE THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. I LET IT REST ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS WENT THROUGH THE SAME SEQUENCE. ABS LIGHT, SECURITY LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AS THEY BOTH READ LOW ON VOLTAGE. TO THIS DAY 2/15/2014, THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING IS TO RUN A DIRECT CABLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GIVE OFF THE CORRECT VOLTAGE AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER. THEY CAN NO LONGER FUNCTION SEPARATELY OF EACH OTHER. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON EDMUNDS.COM WITH NO RESPONSE FROM GM. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I INFORMED THEM I'VE HAD MY OWN TRUSTED, LOCAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE OTHER THEN A MASSIVE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I ASKED GM WHAT THEIR RESOLUTION WAS SINCE THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. A
