2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

AT RANDOM TIMES (EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED), THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT ILLUMINATES (ACCOMPANIED BY A 3-TONE ALERT) AND A DASH MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAG." THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS A FAULTY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR. THERE IS BEEN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THESE SENSORS (GM RECALL NO. 06143; NHTSA CAMPAIGN #07V146000), BUT IT WAS LIMITED TO 359 VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL, SO THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE, QUOTING $900 FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. A SEARCH ON SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE SHOWS 81 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2007 PONTIAC G6 AIRBAGS AS OF 9-27-2016, MANY WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS TO MY VEHICLE, SO THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY PROBLEMS WITH PONTIAC'S AIRBAG SENSORS SYSTEMS THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE INITIAL RECALL. SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PONTIAC EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES AFFECTED. A CONVERSATION WITH PONTIAC YIELDED A TYPICAL RESPONSE: "YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL RECALL, SO THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO."

THE HARDTOP HAS NO POWER IT RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONTROL MODULE IS BAD I CAN'T DRIVE IT IT GOT A DIC CODE SAYING TOP INSURCURE TRUNK INSURCURE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY RIGHT LINE ALMOST AT MY EXIT . THE GPS FELL FROM THE WINDOW AND MUST OF HIT THE AREA OF THE SHIFT COLUMN IT DIDN'T COME OUT OF DRIVE THOUGH. THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER PUSH THE FLASHES AND EMERGENCY BREAK WHEN THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK JUST A LARGE NOSE STEERING DIDN'T WORK WELL. BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE STEERING COLUMN OUT AGAIN. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING I FEEL THIS IS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL IN 2015 THAT LISTED THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR PONTIAC G6 2007 MASSACHUSETTS ROUTE 2 WEST LEOMINSTER. MA. RESTARTED THE CAR, GOT TO MY DESTINATION, AND DROVE HOME THAT NIGHT LOWER SPEEDS.

WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY AS I TURN THE WHEEL EITHER WAY I HERE A CLACKING NOISE. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY C.V. AXLES BUT MY JOINTS ARE STILL SEALED. SO I BEGAN TO THINK IT WAS MY STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TURNING IT FOR REALLY REALLY HARD TO TURN THEN A LOAD CLACK THEN IT WOULD PASS THE STRESS POINT TURN EASIER BUT STILL MAKE THE CLACKING NOISE WHEN TURNING IT BACK. THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR TRANSMISSION CABLE THAT CAUSED MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SHIFTER TO NOT PROPERLY STAY IN GEAR. MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT THE RECALL WAS FIXED ANYWAYS. A YEAR AND HALF AFTER RECALL WAS FIXED THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY HAPPENED DESPITE SO CALLED BEING "FIXED". I CALLED GM TO REPORT THIS AND THEY STATED THEY COULD ONLY DO SOMETHING A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL SO I AM 6 MONTHS OUT OF THIS. EITHER THEIR FIX DIDN'T WORK OR THEIR FIXED CAUSED THE PROBLEM. EITHER WAY MY CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE AND I'M BEING FORCED TO FIX THIS OUT OF POCKET. I'M HOPING YOU CAN POSSIBLY HELP GET GM TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CAN GET THE COPIES OF RECALL AND IT ACTUALLY BEING FIXED IF NECESSARY. HOW THE PROBLEM HAPPENED: CAR WAS PARKED IN PARK POSITION AT A PARKING LOT. ONCE STARTED, AND FOOT APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL, TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD FREELY MOVE INSTEAD OF SHIFTING PROPERLY. IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN PARKED. THANK YOU.

I HAD CAR IN FOR RECALL OF SHIFT CABLE IN 2014. ON AUGUST 4 2016 I WENT TO PARK CAR AND THERE WERE NO GEARS, CAR ROLLED INTO A FENCE BEFORE I COULD GET IT STOPPED. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT CAR. HE FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG, WHICH IS PART OF SHIFT CABLE THAT WAS RECALLED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE WAS NOT REPLACED AS THE PARTS ARE ORIGINAL. I HAVE PICTURES OF ORIGINAL PART ON MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE SHIFT CABLE TO BE REPLACED PROPERLY BUT HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH ANY DEALERS, INCLUDING THE DEALER WHO SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PART IN 2014. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE TO FIX PART ON MY OWN. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH A LAWYER TO SUE THE DEALER AND GM IF CAR IS NOT FIXED. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LEAKED OIL, ANTIFREEZE, AND WATER.

MY CAR WAS RECALLED DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON AND LOSINIG CRUISE CONTROL. WAS REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ION 9/04/2014 IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY RECALL. RECENTLY THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK MY CARE FOR THE FINAL RECALL TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE AND ALSO REPORTED TO THEM THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ONCE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THAT RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, I RESPONDED WITH THE PART THEY FIXED FOR THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT FAILED AGAIN AFTER THE RECALL FIX. THEY RESPONDED THAT THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED IT WAS FIXED WITH DIALETIC GREASE AND A ZIP TIE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AGAIN FOR IT SEEMS LIKE GM HAS JUST PUT A BAND AID ON A GUSHING WOUND TO AVOID PAYING AND FIXING THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. AND I AM STUCK EITHER PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THE DEALER QUOTED OR CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD GET ME KILLED! FOR NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS EITHER STAY ON OR MAY NOT WORK AT ALL, EVEN IN PARK WITH THE CAR IDLING THEY STAY ON UNTIL I TAP THE BRAKES THEN THEY SOMETIMES DO NOT COME ON WHEN TAPPED AGAIN.

THREE FAILURES WITH HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE CLOSING AND OPENING WHILE CAR WAS PARKED ON LEVEL SURFACE.

BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL & INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS TROUBLE. AUTO HEADLIGHTS DON'T GO ON/OFF WHEN TAKE FOOT OF BRAKE TO PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE OR NEUTRAL CAR JERKS BADLY & ACCELERATION OCCURS EVEN IF I DON'T PUSH FOOT PEDAL. HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STOPPED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE & WHEN TRYING TO PARK, WHEN AT RED LIGHT STOPPED W FOOT ON BRAKE & TRY TO PUT IN NEUTRAL. FOOT ON BRAKE THEN WHEN ENGAGE ANY GEAR CAR LUNGES JERKS & ACCELERATES SEVERELY FORWARD.

I HAVE HAD MANY RECALL PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THEM

MY PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I GOT IT. THERE IS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND PONTIAC DOES HAVE OPEN RECALLS FOR THE ISSUE I AM HAVING FOR INADEQUATE SUPPORT OF THE U-JOINTS AND STEERING SHAFT BUT MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE STATE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I ALSO PERIODICALLY LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER RECALL BUT AGAIN PONTIAC SAYS MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR WE HAVE REPLACED PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE SUSPENSION AND BOUGHT NEW TIRES STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT DOES GO OUT COMPLETELY AND IT CAUSES ME TO HAVE A MAJOR CRASH I PRAY TO GOD MY KIDS ARE NOT IN THE CAR AND THAT I DON'T DIE OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. I DO A LOT OF DRIVING FOR MY JOB AND THE SHAKE JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE PONTIAC SAID THEY COULD SET ME UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE JUST BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT STATE DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY USED DIFFERENT PARTS OR PUT IT TOGETHER A DIFFERENT WAY. THE PONTIAC G6 IS A HUNK OF JUNK I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC PRODUCT IN MY LIFE IF THIS ONE DOESN'T KILL ME. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS THREADS DISCUSSING THE TOPIC ON G6PERFORMANCE.COM. THE SHAKING STARTS AT ABOUT 40MPH AND THE FASTER YOU GO TE WORSE IT BECOMES. PLEASE IF ANYTHING AT ALL CAN BE DONE TO HELP I CAN

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. I HAVE AN ENGINE OIL LEAK, GAS LEAK, AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT AS SOMETHING IS AND HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH MY POWERSTEERING. I HAVE PAID FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE BEEN PUSHED OFF AND GIVEN THE RUN AROUND ABOUT ALL THAT I HAVE SAID. MY CAR IS AND HAS BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NOW I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AS IT HAS GOTTEN TERRIBLY WORSE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT ALL RECALLS WERE DONE (BY THE DEALER), AND OTHER SOURCES HAVE ADVISED ME THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT I AM BEEN HAVING AND THAT I AM CURRENTLY HAVING.

WHEN I VISITED A REPUTABLE BRAKE SHOP FOR A BRAKE CHECK, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A GASOLINE LEAK NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER BRAKE SHOP WHICH DROPPED MY GASOLINE TANK, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A LEAKY FUEL PUMP. BEFORE THIS BRAKE SHOP WORKED ON MY VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ALMOST SURE THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN RECALLED. I PROCEEDED TO GO TO BRIAN HARRIS CHEVROLET, WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER, ONLY TO INFORM ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THAT GENERAL MOTORS WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT REPLACED AT A DEALERSHIP, IF THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE. I WENT BACK TO THE OTHER FACILITY FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT AS A RESULT. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAD RECALLED PONTIAC G6'S FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2004-2008. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN SMELLING OF GASOLINE FOR AWHILE WHEN STATIONARY AND I DID NOT KNOW WHY. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT ONE MONTH PRIOR, WHERE I HAD A FUEL SENSOR CODE PULLED. ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. MY LEAKING FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY DISCOVERED ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER, ONLY BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO GO GET MY BRAKES CHECKED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM LIGHT BULB BURNED OUT. REPLACED AND IT BURNED OUT AGAIN WITHIN 2 WEEKS. REPLACED AGAIN AND SAW THAT THE SOCKET WIRES AND PART OF THE SOCKET WHERE THE BULB MEETS THE SOCKET HAD MELTED. THIS IS NOT A STANDARD GM REPLACEMENT PART. I PURCHASES AN AFTERMARKET WIRE HARNES/SOCKET FOR THE LOW-BEAM. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING. MY LOCAL AUTHORIZED GM DEALER REPLACED THE WIRE HARNESS FOR THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY (NOT UNDER WARRANTY) BUT SAID I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY TO FIX THE LOW-BEAM. THAT PART IS OVER $200 SO I TRIED ANOTHER AFTERMARKET WIRE HARNESS/SOCKET THAT HAD HEAVIER GAUGE WIRE. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND THE BULB HAS BURNED OUT AGAIN. KEEP IN MIND EACH TIME I HAVE PURCHASED THE CORRECT LIGHT BULBS. I HAVE NOW BEEN PULLED OVER BY POLICE 3 TIMES SINCE THIS ISSUE BEGAN. EACH TIME I WAS GIVEN A WARNING BUT ALSO EACH TIME I HAD REPAIRED THE PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER. I HAVE NOW SPENT MORE THAN $250 JUST BECAUSE THE LOW-BEAM ISSUE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE CAUSE BEHIND THE MELTED WIRE AND SOCKET COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM HAS COST ME MONEY, TIME AND STRESS. I WISH TO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. HOWEVER, I CAN'T HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ABOUT SELLING THIS VEHICLE TO SOMEONE AND I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THE PONTIAC G6 TO ANYONE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE.

PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH A HUGE AUTOMOBILE CONGLOMERATE . EVEN THE ASSIST OF THE EXECUTIVE DEPT. COULD NOT HELP MEPLEASE READ WHAT I WROTE TO THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF GM I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE I PURCHASED IT IN JANUARY 2016. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I TRIED TO PUT THE TOP DOWN ITSMECHANISM CAUSED A MALFUNCTION AND BROKE THE PART NUMBER 25887153 AWAY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER @ GM OF VACAVILLE, CA. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME, 'THIS PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE', A WEEK LATER. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. I HAVE INCURRED $ 1400. IN AUTO RENTAL FEES. THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED A MASS SEARCH FOR THE PART AS DID I, TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TALKED WITH MORE THAN 20 PONTIAC/GM DEALERS AROUND THE U.S. THEY ALL STATE; "WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM TO SAY - THE PART NO LONGER EXIST AND IS NOT AVAILABLE" I WAS ALWAYS TOLD: "BY LAW AN AUTO MANUFACTURE MUST MAKE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR UP TO 10 YEARS. THE PARTS MANUFACTURE, KARMANN MADE THE PART FOR GM. THEY MAY HAVE THE PART IN THEIR WAREHOUSE. BUT, ACCORDING TO THEIR EMPLOYEE, GM WILL NOT GIVE THEIR PERMISSION TO SELL IT - EVEN TO A GM DEALER. THE WORST THING IS: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OVER 25 PARTS DEALERS AND THEY ALL HAVE SAID: "YOU ARE ONE OF HUNDREDS OF CALLS WE ARE GETTING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM".. I AM A SINGLE HARDWORKING MOTHER WHO WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE HERSELF A DREAM VEHICLE, ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. PLEASE ASSIST ME TO GET THE PART, OR BUY BACK THE VE

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES INTERMITTENTLY AND STEERING IS HARD AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SHAKING OCCURS SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED. OTHER MODELS OF THE G6 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUES BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2007 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED OUT TWICE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REPLACED GAS CAP. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND I STILL SMELL GAS THATS NOT SAFE...PLEASE HELP!!

VEHICLE HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL EMITTING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF IF IT IS TURNED ON OR OFF. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKAGE BUT THE ODOR IS STRONG ENOUGH TO NOTICE ANYWHERE IN A 5 FOOT RADIUS OF THE VEHICLE. MANY SIMILAR REPORTS REFERENCE A HAIRLINE CRACK THAT FORMS OVER TIME IN THE PLASTIC ELBOW CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP ABOVE THE GAS TANK. THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT COSTS APPEAR TO BE BETWEEN $700 AND $900 AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING AS I CANNOT PARK THE CAR IN MY GARAGE FOR FEAR OF THE GAS SMELL BUILDING UP. IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ENOUGH ISSUE IN THE PONTIAC G6 THAT GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS FLAW IN THEIR FUEL PUMP MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND A BEEPING NOISE WAS PRESENT.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,910.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE A KNOWN WIRING ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TAKEN THIER CARS TO BE REPAIRED AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXIST SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AGAIN. I AM NOW GOING THROUGH THIS PROBLEM MY MECHANIC WAS HAVING ISSUES FINDING THE PART. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THE COVERING THAT GOES OVER THE WIRING GETS OVERHEATED AND ENDS UP MELTING THE WIRE. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTOR PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD BE COVERING THE EXPENSE TO GET THIS FIX.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS A RECALL ON MY CAR THAT HAS BEEN FIXED 2 TIMES ALREADY. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM STOPPED FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN CAME RIGHT BACK. THIS IS A HUGH SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS ALREADY BEEN FIXED AND DON'T WANT TO FIX IT AGAIN. PLEASE HELP.

THIS CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2014 FOR A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. GM SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM IN 2014 BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME NOW. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS TOLD ME THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE AND IT WILL COST $400.00 TO FIX IT. I HAVE TALKED TO 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GM BUT THEY WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I OWN 5 GM VEHICLES BUT WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY.

I HAD A RECALL FIXED (I THOUGHT) IN OCTOBER 2014 WITH THE TRANSMISSION CABLE AND BRACKET. ON APRIL 11TH 2016 THIS ITEM FAILED ON MY CAR. I'VE OWNED THIS 2007 G6 FOR 7 YEARS PRIOR TO THE RECALL WITH NO ISSUES. I CALLED THE DEALER TO PURCHASE THE CONNECTER THAT BROKE AND LEFT MY CAR IN REVERSE AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT TURNING MY WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THEY SAY I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE CABLE THEY REPLACED JUST ONE YEAR AND 6 MONTHS AGO. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT MADE THE RECALL REPAIR AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR. IN MY OPINION THEIR FIX IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. I CAN DRIVE IT FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS WITH NO ISSUES, BUT THE "FIX" IS ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR AND A HALF? I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AT A RESTAURANT AFTER TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SUPPER. I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN DRIVE THEN WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND APPLIED THE GAS MY CAR STAYED IN REVERSE ALMOST HITTING THE PEDESTRIAN THAT WALKED BEHIND MY CAR WALKING TO THEIR CAR. I COULD NOT PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL WITH TRAFFIC PULLING INTO THE RESTAURANT. I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT BACK INTO THE PARKING SPOT. MY CAR ALMOST RAN OVER ME BECAUSE IT WAS LOCKED IN REVERSE. I ENDED UP LETTING THE CARS PASS ME THAT WERE TRYING TO TURN IN TO GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU. I HAD TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND INTO THE STREET IN REVERSE AND BACK IT INTO THE EXIT OF THE RESTAURANT AND PARK MY CAR IN A SPOT ON THE OTHER SID

ID OF FUEL PUMP: INFO FOUND ON FUEL PUMP: UPC 15839061 AFCO

I HAD NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHILE IN A STOPPED POSITION AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND THEN THERE WAS A CHIME WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND I NOTICED THE RADIO READOUT INDICATED AN ALARM OF POWER STEERING. IT WOULD RESET IF I TURNED KEY OFF AND ON AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AT ALL. I CALLED A TOLL FREE NUMBER THAT I HAD FOUND ONLINE FOR PONTIAC RECALLS AND SPOKE TO AN OPERATOR. HE TOOK THE LAST EIGHT DIGITS OF MY VIN AND RETURNED A SHORT TIME LATER AND SAID THAT THERE WERE NO EXISTING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALMOST 194,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE NOW AND PURCHASED IT WHEN IT HAD ABOUT 163,000 MILES ON IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD RESPONDED TO ALL RECALL NOTICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR, BUT HE COULDN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS EVER FOR POWER STEERING. IF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, IT DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR ALL OF THE G6 YEARS EXCEPT FOR THE 2007, BUT I ALSO SAW A YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM 2015 THAT SAID THAT GM HAD RECALLED THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU AND PONTIAC G6 SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS ACCURATE.
