2006 Pontiac G6 complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE G6 IT WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING.. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF; IT HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DRIVING IT TODAY THE POWER STEERING WENT TOTALLY OUT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON FIRST AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE STEERING WAS SO HARD TO TURN THAT I HAD TO PARK THE CAR CAUSE I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. OTHER YEAR MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT THE 06 HASN'T. THE VEHICLES A UNSAFE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE BRAKE LAMPS STAY ON WHEN I AM NOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AND WHEN I DO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY GO OFF AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS CHARGING ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT IN THE REAR ABOUT 70 TIMES SO FAR. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE COMPUTER CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH , THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT WAS ONLY ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WITH EXTREME FORCE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT I PURCHASED LAST SUMMER. SINCE THEN MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT ONLY LAST FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR UP IT WAS FINE. BUT THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON JULY 10, 2010. I WAS HEADING HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND AS I WENT TO TURN OFF HER STREET MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AND MY RADIO SCREEN SAID "POWER STEERING". I HAD TO USE EVERY BIT OF ENERGY I HAD TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND MAKE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE SAFELY. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THEN. I CHECK IT EVERYDAY JUST TO MAKE SURE IT HASN'T FIXED ITSELF LIKE LAST TIME BUT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK... I CALLED GM TO REPORT IT AND THEY BASICALLY SAID OH WELL AND TOO BAD, I HAVE A FEELING I AM GOING TO HAVE TO END UP PAYING FOR THIS AND I DEFINITELY DO NOT HAVE $800 TO FORK OUT AND PAY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SUCH AS THIS. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION THAT OCCURS CONSTANTLY. BRAKE ILLUMINATES WHEN DRIVING AND TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VEHICLE HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN RECALL ID# 28422 BUT ACCORDING TO PONTIAC MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. *TR

SINCE THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEW (6,000 MILES) THE BRAKES PULSATE AND NEED CONSTANT REPAIR - EVENTUALLY THE PULSATION LEADS TO WHAT I WOULD DETERMINE AN UNCOMFORTABLE/UNCONTROLLABLE BREAKING PROBLEM. DEALER HAS INDICATED THE TYPE OF BRAKES ON THIS CAR HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CORROSION. THEY ARE ABLE TO REPAIR AND CAR SEEMS OK FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN PROBLEM RECURS. LAST TIME THE DEALER CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $400 FOR REPAIR (MAY 2010). THE CAR IS NOW STARTING TO AGAIN DISPLAY SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS, STARTING TO PULSATE, BRAKES MAKING DRAGGING SOUND. THE CAR HAS 43,000 MILES AS OF THIS DATE AND BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER AT LEAST 2 TIMES PER YEAR FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE IN AUGUST 2006. *TR

MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN MY PONTIAC G6 WENT OUT. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I EXPERIENCE NECK AND ARM PAIN FOR WEEKS AFTER FOR HAVING TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT IT. I HAD TO GET THE CAR FIXED WHICH REQUIRED IT TO BE IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK. THEY HAD TO REPLACE A CIRCUIT AND REPROGRAM THE CAR. I PAID 900 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IS IT A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG PONTIAC CARS INCLUDING G6'S WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE AND YET ITS THE ONLY PONTIAC CAR TO NOT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR IT YET. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH FAULTY POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING CUTS IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES EVEN WHILE IN OPERATION. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN TAKING A CURVE AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THE FAILURE IS MOST PRONE TO OCCUR IN WARM WEATHER, AND GENERALLY IN THE SUMMERTIME IT RARELY GOES AWAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, AND THAT THE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE IS EGREGIOUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED SOON, BEFORE I JOIN A GROWING LIST OF OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE POWERSTEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT. I CAN PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL RESET. HOWEVER, MORE RECENTLY THAT IS NOT WORKING AND IF I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A WRECK. THE POWERSTEERING GOES OUT AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK AND THE DAYS IT GOES OUT IT CONTINUES ALL DAY LONG. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A VERY BAD WRECK. I HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO WAS REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND HE DIDN'T SUGGEST DOING THAT JUST YET. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDS CHECKED OUT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 THAT HAS A CLUNK IN THE STEERING WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND TURN THE WHEEL. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING GOES OUT RANDOMLY WHEN THERE IS EXTREME HOT WEATHER , WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IT LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO USE IT. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING IS LOST. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. I AM SEEING THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

I HAVE AN 06 PONTIAC G6 AND A WHILE BACK I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT TO THE GAS STATION BUT IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE. THE STEERING ISN'T JUST HARD TO TURN LIKE AN OLD TRUCK, IT CONSTANTLY TRIES TO SPRING BACK TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION SO YOU FIGHT IT THE ENTIRE TIME. WE PARKED IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND I TURNED IT ON AN TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL A WEEK AGO WHEN IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND NOW I CANT GET IT TO WORK AT ALL. I WILL BE DAMNED IF I AM PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED WHEN IT IS GM'S PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT IS COMPLETE BS THAT ALL THE OTHER CARS GOT RECALLED BUT THE G6 DID NOT. "GOVERNMENT MOTORS" BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR RISK LOSING EVEN MORE CUSTOMERS. *TR

I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS (THANKFULLY) HOWEVER; WITHIN THE PAST 4 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY STEERING MODULE AND JUST LAST WEEK MY BALL JOINT AND CONTROL ARM. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE AND ARE VERY NECESSARY TO FIX RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL AT TIMES AND WHEN I SEEM TO TURN IT MAKES AN ODD NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT AT TIMES I STILL FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT SCARES ME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TALKED TO THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THIS TO ME ISN'T RIGHT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY STEERING SEEMING TO GO BAD OFTEN. *TR

MY 2006 G6 HAS HAD ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING SINCE I GOT IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT 2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS DURING THE SUMMER AND I'D HAD THE CAR TWO WEEK AND POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS THE DASH. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOTHING AND TO IGNORE IT. NOW TWO YEARS LATER ITS DOING THE SAME THING, IT NORMALLY DOES THIS DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS. AT TIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO TURN BUT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN I FIRST CRANK THE CAR UP. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE POWER STEERING TIME ADJUST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, I'M CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD KEEP THIS CAR. IM REALLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I ALSO HEAR THE CLINKING NOISE WHEN I BREAK AND THUMP NOISE WHEN I TURN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IF THIS IS A PERSISTENT ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVEN AFTER ITS BEEN REPAIRED THEN IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ITS WORTH KEEPING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY G6 IS 53,000. *TR

PROBLEMS WITH CAR STARTED IN JUNE OF 06, FOR ABNORMAL NOISE, FROM UNDERNEATH CAR, CONDENSATION WAS CONSTANT IN HEADLIGHTS EVEN AFTER REPLACED. CAR DISC PLAYER WOULD CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTION AND WAS REPLACED - STEERING WAS ALWAYS SEEMED NOT JUST RIGHT. CAR WOULD ACCELERATE FOR SHORT SPURTS, TRUNK FILLED WITH WATER AFTER A RAIN REALLY FEEL THE WHOLE STABILITY OF THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SERIOUSLY LOOKED AT. HUSBAND RECEIVED BRAIN INJURY FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE HE JUST PLOWED INTO A BLOCK WALL FOR NO REASON. HE HELD A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD WITH A CURRENT CDL LICENSE. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, CURRENTLY WITH 76,400 MILES AT 21K MY BRAKES WERE ALREADY IN THE YELLOW. AT 38K, I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. AT 45K, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AGAIN. AT 50K, I HAD TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. AT 54K, I HAD TO INSTALL NEW ROTORS AND NEW FRONT BRAKES... AGAIN. I PURCHASED HIGH PERFORMANCE, CROSS-DRILLED ROTORS, AND THE BRAKES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TO GO ALONG WITH THEM, AND HAD THEM INSTALLED AT A REPUTABLE BRAKE COMPANY. AT A LITTLE OVER 54K, I HAD TO DO ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. AT 64K, ANOTHER ALIGNMENT WAS RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED. AT 71K, BRAKES ARE IN THE YELLOW AGAIN. AND NOW, TODAY, AT 76K, HAD TO RESURFACE THE NEW ROTORS, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT BRAKES ARE, ONCE AGAIN, NEARING THE RED. AND I'M PRETTY SURE, IF I HAD THE ENERGY, MONEY AND TIME TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN, IT WOULD NEED TO BE RE-ALIGNED AGAIN.

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING UNIT. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME IT COULD BE IN EXCESS OF $1000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF PONTIAC, ALL OF WHICH OCCUR BETWEEN 55,000 AND 60,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT. STILL GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS DEFECT BY ISSUING A RECALL. ONE WOULD THINK WITH $52 MILLION DOLLARS OF AMERICANS TAX DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKETS THAT THEY COULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS ISN'T ABOUT BAILOUTS THOUGH. THIS IS ABOUT PUTTING FAMILIES, MOTHERS AND CHILDRENS LIVES IN DANGER. I AM SENDING THIS IN HOPES OF THIS AGENCY BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH GM TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND FORCE THEM TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED. THIS ISN'T A MATTER OF A POOR PAINT JOB HERE, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THE STEERING COMPONENTS OF A CAR. I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN MY CAR AND I LOST CONTROL TRYING TO TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE LIGHT CAME ON PRIOR TO MY TURNING AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD EVER HAPPENED. I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS OFF A BIT THE WEEK PRIOR, HOWEVER, I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED THAT WEEK AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR MAY PULL TO THE LEFT AFTER. WHEN TRYING TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE CAR, I FOUND THERE ISN'T A SPOT FOR THIS AND THEY ARE ELECTRIC. THANKFULLY I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, CAR STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING AT AROUND 60,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE A CLUNK NOISE WHEN STEERING WHEEL TURNED AT LOW SPEEDS, WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE OUTER TIE RODS. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND THUMP. NOW THE MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM, BUSHINGS ETC. MY WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION IS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS. MY CAR VEERED OFF TO THE NEXT LANE ON ITS OWN. LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ITS IN THE SHOP NOW, ALSO NEEDING THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED. PLEASE RECALL THIS. MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BE HIT. THANKS. *TR

THE PONTIAC G6 2006 HAS A PROBLEM WITH ITS STEERING. THE DRIVER HAS TO HAVE MUSCLES IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN. IF IT IS A SHARP TURN YOU WILL BE UP ON THE CURB.

MY PONTIAC G6 2006 POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT FIRST I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH SO, BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STILL GOES OUT TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING WOULD COST ME 1,200 AND IT WASN'T UNDER RECALL I THINK GM NEED TO PAY FOR THIS WHO WANTS A CAR THAT DOESN'T HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP ATLEAST I COULD SEE IF IT NEEDED A BELT OR FLUID THIS IS A MESS. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G-6 I-STEERING SHAFT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED TO FIX A THUD IN THE STEERING OF THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE BUT MANY OTHERS AND PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE AND THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD DEF. BE RECALLED. THE CHEVY COBALTS AND PONTIAC G5'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS WHY NOT THE G6? THE POWER STEERING CAN BE FAULTY ON THIS CAR GOING OUT AND CAN CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. THINK ABOUT IT IF YOUR DRIVING DOING 60 TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL OR STEER YOUR CAR NOT ONLY IS THAT SCARY, BUT A CAR ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN!! *TR

POWER STEERING MOTOR IN MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WENT BAD. IT COST ME OVER $800 TO REPAIR. BUT THEN I LOOK ONLINE AND SEE THAT THE FOLLOWING CARS WERE ALSO RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE: - 2005 - 2010 CHEVROLET COBALTS - 2007 - 2010 PONTIAC G5S - 2005 - 2006 PONTIAC PURSUITS - 2006 - 2006 PONTIAC G4S IT'S REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT GM USED A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PART IN MY CAR. *TR

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 IS EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING PROBLEMS IN WHICH I NOW KNOW IS ELECTRICAL AND VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. AFTER HEARING HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST I CAME HOME AND LOOKED TO SEE IF GM HAD ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE, BUT TO COME AND FIND OUT THEY DON'T. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS THOUGH. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE OR THE CONSUMERS GIVEN SOME HELP IN GETTING WHAT SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE CORRECTED. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 KEEPS LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING AND IS BECOMING A VERY MAJOR HAZARD, IT HAPPENING ALMOST DAILY AND I HAVE SEEN ON SEVERAL WEB SITES THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2006 G6 OWNERS AS WELL WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6 74,000 MILES ELECTRIC STEERING MAJOR ISSUE LAST SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 2010, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND AS I WAS NEARING MY RESIDENCE, THE STEERING BECAME HARDER TO CONTROL. LUCKILY, THE MAJOR ISSUE DIDN'T OCCUR UNTIL I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY, IN WHICH THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY NON-STEERABLE. I AM BY NO MEANS A WEAK PERSON, SO THIS LACK OF STEERING IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. ON TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 2010. AT ABOUT NOON, I WAS HEADING TO LUNCH AND COMING FROM A STOPLIGHT, I HAD NO STEERING WHAT-SO-EVER, I WAS REQUIRED TO RESTART THE CAR MID-TURN IN ORDER TO NOT RUN OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT GM APPARENTLY DOESN'T CARE TO RESOLVE. IT IS OBVIOUS GENERAL MOTORS CARES NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR PRODUCT. I AM THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED, SO MUCH SO THAT I PURCHASED A USED 2005 MUSTANG GT AS A REPLACEMENT CAR. I NEED TO HAVE THE PONTIAC G6 FIXED, BECAUSE I AM SELLING THE CAR, I DO NOT WISH TO BE KILLED BY MY OWN CAR! I WAS NOT INJURED OR KILLED BUT I AM VERY VERY TEMPTED TO CLICK THE "WERE THERE ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES?" CHECKBOX BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THAT GM DOESN'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS... WHAT A SHAME! *TR
