2008 Pontiac G6 complaints

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 MY VEHICLE (2008 PONTIAC G6) WAS INVOLVED IN A SERVER ACCIDENT WHEN I WAS ON THE I-75 INTERSTATE MERGING ONTO THE I-20 RAMP WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE UPON BRAKING AND JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN LOSS OF ALL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. I HIT THE GUARDRAIL AND ONE OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED AS WELL. THE CITY OF ATLANTA IS WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. ALSO, UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, A STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS DETECTED AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE VIN TOOL DID NOT LOCATE ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

READ OUT STATES SERVICE AIR BAG .

WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. TOOK GREAT EFFORT TO TURN TO GET OFF ROAD. HAD CAR TOWED. SHOP WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT THIS WAS THE MOST SEVERE. AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC VERIFIED THE POWER STEERING FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. WANTZ CHEVROLET INC (1 CHEVRO DR, TANEYTOWN MD, 21787, (443) 487-8820) ALSO VERIFIED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF OVER $1,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. FINALLY TOOK CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE SEEN ON SEVERAL WEBSITES THAT THE PONTIAC G5 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE BEING RECALLED. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THE PONTIAC G6. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN MY GARAGE THE ODOR WAS QUITE STRONG AND ALSO A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY. THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS WELL AS MY HOUSE.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT

WHEN I'M DRIVING AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF, AND WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES AND DRIVE THEY TURN ON. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, I COULD GET REAR ENDED!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR WAS DIFFICULT TO CHANGE OVER FROM PARK. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON FOR IT TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *AS *AS

GEAR SHIFT LEVEL IS CONSTANTLY BREAKING. SHIFT LEVEL IS SAID TO BE IN PARK BUT THE CAR KEEPS ROLLING BACKWARDS. CAR WILL NOT SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT GEAR NOR REMAIN PARKED WITHOUT EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK UP, I SWITCHED GEARS TO DRIVE AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO GO BACKWARDS INSTEAD.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTED TO REDUCE SPEED, HESITATE, AND JERK WHEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AT A LIGHT TO PULL OFF OR EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL DRIVING. MY CAR COULDN'T PICK UP SPEED PAST 25 MILES AND SOMETIME LESS. A MESSAGE CAME UP ON MY DASH BOARD STATED FLASHING REDUCE ENGINE SPEED. I WAS NEAR AUTO ZONE WHEN IT HAPPENED SO I ASKED TO HAVE A DIANOSTIC COMPLETED AND IT STATED THROTTLE/ PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/ SWITCH "E" CIRCUIT LOW INPUT MEANING CODE P2127.

HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH ANYTHING LIKE THIS, I TRUELY FEEL BOTH GM MANUFACTURERS AND CUSTOMERS SERVICE ASSOCIATES HAVE A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE LIFE AND SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE HAD MY G6 PONTIAC FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE LAST 2 WEEKS FINDING OUT ALL THE MONEY I SPENT ON THE CAR IS NOTHING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTER REFUSES TO FIX THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY THAT THEY ADVERTISE AS FREE WITHIN THE RECALL AFTER MY LOCAL GMC MECHANIC AT DONOVAN AUTO HAS TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOW SAYS I NEED $400 FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR THATS THE PART MESSING UP THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY IS THE PART THE NHTSA AND GM ADVERTISES CAN BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE THEN HOW ON A MOTOR VEHICLE DEFECT IS CUSTOMER CHARGED MAINTENANCE THEY ADVERTISE IN THE RECALL AS FREE NOW I AM COMPLETLY WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND CANT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WITH THESE G6 PONTIACS WITH THE STEERING RECALL. WILL ALSO BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION HAVE PUT 10 GRAND INTO THIS VEHICLE AND WAS PROMISED IT WAS SAFE AND HAD LONGEVITY ONLY HAD IT 3 YEARS AND NOW BECAUSE OF THE RECALL THEY CANT EVEN FIX IT I HAVE NO CAR AND NOW WILL LOSE MY JOB MY CREDIT AND MY WHOLE LIFE IS COMPLETLY REVOLVING AROUND THE CAR GOING TO PAY WITH MY LIFE TO OWN A CAR THAT KILLS ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) PRIOR TO HER OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUPERIOR CHEVROLET CONWAY (1275 EXCHANGE AVE, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 932-5121) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH AND FRONT WHEEL DRIVE AXLE SHAFT SEAL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 GT IS EXPERIENCING A FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE KIT AS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VIA GM RECALL #N130036. GM STATES THEY HAVE ALREADY CLOSED RECALL AND WILL BE IN NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WITH PROBLEM. THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING A FAILURE TO SHIFT GEARS RESULTING WITH THE CAR BEING IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH SHIFT LEVELER IS IN PARK. SHIFT LEVELER FREELY SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITH TRANSMISSION ENGAGING.

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 - THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SHAKING/JERKING PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR CAN JERK RIGHT OR LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR CAN SIT AND IDLE, AND THE STEERING WILL WILL JERK BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY. (VIDEO SHOWING PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=7QWIB-4EYZC). THERE WAS A RECALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SUPPOSEDLY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN); HOWEVER IT NEVER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM TWICE NOW EXPLAINING THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, BUT THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE IN TERMS OF COST OR WARRANTY. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE REQUIRING THAT I TAKE IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR MISTAKES AND MAKE THEM RIGHT - THE RECALL DIDN'T WORK, AND I HAVE A VEHICLE UNFIT FOR THE ROAD.

WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING AND IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE. WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT WHEN TURNING. TOOK IT TO SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS ELECTRICAL.

THE ESC TRACTION CONTROL ILLUMINATE WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED ON AND REMAINS ILLUMINATEDWHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THE TRACTION CONTROL ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE. IT MAY REMAIN OFF FOR A WHILE AND WHEN THE CAR IGNITION IS TURNED ON AND WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IT MAY REMAIN ILLUMINATED.

THE POWER STEERING WARNING STARTED COMING ACROSS MY RADIO WITH AN ALARM AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD SHUT OFF. YOU COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. IT STARTED DOING IT MORE AND MORE UNTIL IT WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND MINE HAD ONE SONI TOOK IT TO PONTIAC DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE EPS MODULE.BBUT THAT'S ALL MY CONTACTS NUMBER CALL FOR BUT THEY ARE MANY OTHER MODELS LIKE MINE THAT THE ECALK CALLED FOR EACH PART OF THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING SYSTEM TO BE REPLACED ONE AT A TIME UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT MY VIN WAS NOT ON WHAT LIST IT WAS ONLY LISTER UNDER RE PLACE THE MODULE SO THEREFORE IM STILL HAVING POWER STEERING PROBLEM BC THE MODULE DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO MY ROTORS KEEP GETTING WARPED AND I KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THEM WAY BEFORE IT SHOULD BE TIME TO

WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST TURN OFF FOR NO REASON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY.

THE POWER STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE'S A STRUGGLE FOR ME WITH EVERY TURN, AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BAD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. VERY SCARY GETTING FAMILY AROUND ON DAY TO DAY BASIS.

LOSE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL WHILE DRIVING . REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR RELEARNED SENSOR AND IS STILL LOSING BRAKE LIGHTS WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT AFTER 5 MINUTES OF SITTING AND IT RESETS THE BRODY CONTROL MODEL AND WORKS FOR A DAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IT COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND IK THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 ARE RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING I NEED TO KEEP MY [XXX] SON SAFE PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR POWER STEERING REPAIRS. *LD *TR

RANDOMLY MY CARS POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN I START MY CAR. AT TIMES I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET IT TO UNLOCK. TODAY IT TOOK ME 5 TIMES STARTING AND SHUTTING IT OF AND RESTARTING BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN. IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES AND TODAY WAS JUST THE LATEST.

FUEL LEAKING FROM GAS TANK AREA AND SHOWING P0446 CODE. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL IN MY MODEL YEAR RANGE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL. I FEEL MY ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2014 ABOUT FAULTY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEMS FOR THE 2008 PONTIAC G6. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT REPAIRED. I AM NOW AGAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT AGAIN WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN. I ALSO CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR. GM SHOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT IS FIXED CORRECTLY. THERE ARE MANY BLOGS AND FORUMS WITH PEOPLE IN THE SAME POSITION AS I AM AND NO ONE INCLUDING NHTSA IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

MULTIPLE TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND HARNESS CONNECTION SECTION BURNS OUT NEEDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HARNESSES AND BULBS.

YOU ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESS KEEP SHORTING OUT WHICH CAUSES THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO NOT COME ON ALSO THE TIE RODS KEEP HAVING TO BE REPLACED

LAST TUESDAY, JANUARY 29TH WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR ROAD HERE IN MEMPHIS, I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO ANOTHER BUSY STREET AND MY STEERING WHEEL INSTANTLY WENT STIFF THEN POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS MY DISPLAY SCREEN ALONG WITH THE CHIME. I HAD TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION SO I TRIED COMPLETE THE TURN. I GOT MY CAR TO TURN BUT WITH A LOT OF FORCE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED MY CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. I CONTEMPLATED WHETHER I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED OR TRY TO MAKE IT HOME. I CALLED GM ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAD MY POWER STEERING SERVICED IN 2014 UNDER A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR, IT WAS REPLACED. GM CONNECTED ME WITH A CERTIFIED GM DEALER NEAR ME (CHUCK HUTTON CHEVROLET) TO HAVE IT CHECKED. CHUCK HUTTON CHEVROLET ON MT. MORIAH RD. DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW POWER STEERING SHAFT TORQUE AND THAT MY REPAIR WILL BE NEARLY $700. UNFORTUNATELY, THE RECALL EXPIRED IN FEBRUARY 2018. IF THIS HAD OF HAPPENED AGAIN BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED, THEN MY REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. IT'S SO PUZZLING TO ME THAT MY CAR HAD ABOUT 67K MILES IN 2014 WHEN I HAD THIS PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. I AM AT 125K MILES NOW AND THE PART HAS GONE OUT AGAIN.

MY WIFE CAR POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AND IS DISPLAYING ON THE RADIO "POWER STEERING". THIS ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED WHEN SHE WAS TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK A FEW DAYS AGO AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE DUE TO IS BEING EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

POWER STEERING ISSUESI'VE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING IT'S COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. I CAN'T TURN COMPLETELY WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING" AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE STEERING LOST POWER, AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET (440-953-1070, LOCATED AT 6877 CENTER ST, MENTOR, OH 44060) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL), 12V460000 (POWER TRAIN), AND 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE RECURRED THE NEXT MORNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND IT SAYS 'POWER STEERING' ON THE RADIO. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL KEEPS RATTLING SINCE THE MOMENT I TURN IT ON AND WHEN DRIVING IT KEEPS RATTLING AND MOVING MY CAR LEFT AND RIGHT. THE TIRED CAN NOT BE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I KEEP THAT ON POINT AND I ALSO CHANGE THE OIL EVERYTIME IT IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT HAS BEEN WORSENING.

ON DECEMBER 27TH, 2018 I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 68MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE TO THE LEFT LANE, WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING. MY CAR IS THE 4 CYLINDER, WHICH MEANS IT HAS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. "POWER STEERING" SHOWED ON MY DISPLAY ALONG WITH A CHIME. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER 10 SECONDS, I STARTED IT BACK UP, AND REGAINED THE POWER STEERING. I CONTINUED ON FOR ABOUT 15 MILES TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER WORK, I DROVE AROUND 25 MILES TO TOWN, AND THEN DROVE AROUND RUNNING ERRANDS WITH NO ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, AT THE SAME SPEED, ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MILES. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY CAR'S YEAR, BUT SEARCHING WITH THE VIN NUMBER, IT DOESN'T SHOW THE RECALL APPLIES. IN AUGUST OF 2015 GM ISSUED A BULLETIN 15356 DETAILING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE PARTS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, IF THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, OR 150K MILES, THE SPECIAL COVERAGE DOES NOT APPLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I FEEL RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO MY CAR. I ALSO FEEL THE SPECIAL COVERAGE SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED. IF THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE OF IT, WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHETHER HOW OLD THE CAR IS, IT'S A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED.

CLOSED DOOR. REAR BACK GLASS. SHATTERED!!! ABSOLUTELY NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE GLASS. WAS AT WORK, WENT TO MY CAR TO GET SOMETHING. OPENED DOOR CLOSED IT A BOOM SHATTERED. HAVE ON TAPE AT MY JOB.

THE MAIN COMPUTER (ECM) IS DEAD, THE CAR READS ERROR IN MILAGE AND THE CAR IS GOING NUTS AND IT WONT START THE SHIFTER CABLE CAME APART AND THE STARTER WONT ENGAGE TRANNY SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN PARKED UP HILL STICKS IN PARK, ALL HAPPENS IN PARK

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR WHILE TURNING AT A STOPLIGHT AT AMAJOR INTERSECTION. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALMOST IN A DITCH.

WHEN THE PASSENGERS HAS THE SEAT BELT ON AND WHEN DRIVING THE SERVICE AIR BAG GOES OFF THE PASSENGER HAS MOVED IS WHEN IT KICK ON THEN GOES BACK OFF

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO TURN. MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP SO MUCH WHILE DRIVING..I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY CAR IN ORDER TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL,WHICH ALMOST CAUSE ME SERVERAL INCIDENT. DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE..

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT BRAKING. BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON UNTIL HIT THE BRAKE THEN COME BACK ON WHEN LET OFF BRAKES

TAKARA RECALL I WAS ON MY WAY TO A STORE DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SO I GOT OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT STARTING ACTING LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER SO I PULLED OVER SHUT IT OF FOR A HR AND TURNED IT BACK ON TRIED TO GO IN REVERSE NOTHING HAPPENED TRIED TO GO IN DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENED IT DIDNT YO ANYWHERE SO I PUT 2 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT THEN IT WOULD GO IN DRIVE BUT NO REVERSE. I BROUGHT IT TO A GARAGE AND A TON OF CODES CAME UP THEY CLEARED IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRIE ABOUT IT BUT IT SMELT WEIRD AND I NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION CABLES AND A THROTTLE SENSOR BECAUSE IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO GO FAST N THE THROTTLE WOULD ACCELERATE WHEN I DIDNT PUSH MORE ON THE PADDLE KINDA LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN CRUISE CONTROL BUT EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES IT STILL REV.

THE VEHICLES MAIN WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONS. WE HAVE CONTACTED A NUMBER OF PONTIAC DEALERSHIPS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE AND LIVES 32 MILES AWAY AND IS DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. EVERY TIME WE PUT A NEW BULB IN IT BLOWS. WE HAVE TO PAY HER SCHOOL TUITION AND CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER $500-$800 TO HAVE THE MAIN HARNESS REPLACED.

PONTIAC RECALL #N140115...SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE, THE STEERING BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, WHEELS LOCKING, STEERING AND TURNING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I STOPPED DRIVING THE CARE IN FEAR OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL, CLAIMING I NEED TO PAY $140 FOR A DIAGNOSIS.

CAR SITTING IN PARK AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES. ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

I NOTICED THAT MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I PURCHASED A NEW ONE BUT UPON INSTALLATION, I NOTICED THAT THE OLD ONE DID NOT VISUALLY APPEAR TO BE BAD. I REPLACED IT ANYWAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME ONE WAS OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED IT FOR CONNECTION PROBLEMS ETC AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS OUT AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO, I WAS UNLOCKING MY DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE DOOR AND NOTICED ON THE GARAGE DOOR THAT BOTH LIGHTS WERE WORKING; HOWEVER, WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR IT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF UNTIL I UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE FOB AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST FINISHED PUMPING MY GAS INTO MY CAR. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUT IT ON DRIVE. AS I WAS TURNING TOWARDS THE EXIT OF THE GAS STATION, MY STEERING WHEEL MADE SOME CLINK NOISES AND WENT OUT. MY WHEELS WERE NO LONGER ARE ABLE TO BE DIRECTED BY MY STEERING WHEEL. I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO STEER MY CAR. THE ONLY ABILITY I HAVE IS TO DRIVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I CAN NO LONGER CONTROL MY TIRES.
