"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING WENT OUT,ON THE INTERSTATE COULDN'T CHANGE LANES PROPERLY. HAD TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TERRIFIED. NEED TO KNOW IF THIS PART IS BEING RECALL.BLESSED TOO BE ALIVE.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT A FEW MINUTES UPON DRIVING AND THE WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT WILL RETURN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT WHEN STARTING THE CAR. ALSO THE WINDOW WASHER PUMP IS FAULTY CAUSING NO FLUID TO COME OUT WHEN PRESSED, WHICH COULD LEAD TO VISIBILITY PROBLEMS IN WINTER WITH ALL THE SAND AND SALT ON THE ROADS

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND THE POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION WILL APPEAR. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL UNLOCK. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME STATIONARY AND IN TURNING THE WHEEL TO TURN AND IN DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY WHERE BUT THE FREEWAY/ HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL. MY PONTIAC G6 2009 HAS A POWER STEERING RECALL BUT THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE IT DOESNT COME IN AS A RECALL WHEN THEY TYPE IN MY VIN BUT IV READ ABOUT THE RECALL, EVERY TIME IT GETS COLD MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT, DOESNT MATTER IF IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR JUST STARTED MY CAR IT RANDOMLY WILL GO OUT, I HAVE A ELECTRIC MOTOR SO I KNOW IM NOT JUST OUT OF FLUID, IT DOESNT HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER TIME ONLY WINTER WHEN IT GETS COLD. WHAT DO I DO? I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I FEEL IT IS WRONG THAT THE RECALL IS THERE BUT THEY WONT FIX IT JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS AT STARTUPS. POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK LIKE OTHER GM VEHICLES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTAL STREET, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP & A NOTIFICATION CAME ACROSS MY DASHBOARD ADVISING ME "POWER STEERING". I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER & WAS UNSURE WHAT TO DO. I TURNED MY CAR OFF & BACK ON, BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL OUT. I TURNED MY CAR OFF & ON AGAIN, THIS TIME TURNING THE WHEEL AS I TURNED THE KEY, & IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF ME STARTING TO DRIVE, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AGAIN.

WELL IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC LIGHT TURN ON AND I HAVE NOTES THAT THE BACK BRAKES WILL NOT TURN ON UNLESS MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO BE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN.

IT ENDED UP TO WHATEVER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IT HAD CAUSED THE CAR TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS TO WERE THE CAR WAS SAYING REDUCED ENGINE PROBLEMS WE HAVE SPEND LOTS OF MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS CAR RUNNING BUT IF SOMETHING WAS FIXED SOMETHING ELSE WENT WRONG I HAVE CHANGE THE COMPUTER THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY IT HAS GOT TO THE POINT NOW THAT THE CARS CADILLAC CONVERTER, AND FUEL INJECTORS HAVE GONE OUT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THE CADILLAC CONVERTER FIXED BUT THE BEST THING I COULD DO WAS GET IT HOLLOWED OUT. KNOW IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE.

"TAKATA RECALL" POWER STEERING SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. AS I WAS DRIVING MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. TOOK ALL MY POWER TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET OFF THE ROAD.

I HAVE 2009 PONTIAC G6 AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT FOR THE STEERING TO UNLOCK. THIS PUT MY LIFE AT RISK ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS ALMOST IN A ACCIDENT AFTER THIS HAPPENED

LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. ONCE IN A WHILE IT WILL COME ON BRIEFLY THEN GO BACK OUT. HAD THE HEADLIGHT TESTED, IT'S NOT THE LIGHT, ITS THE ELECTRICAL. FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER ONLINE, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, YET, NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE YET. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM, AND WILL TAKE SERIOUS THOUGHT INTO EVER PURCHASING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR MONTHS FOR MYSELF. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX.

TAKARA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON SAYING IT NEEDS SERVICED BUT IT THEN IT GOES OFF AND I START DRIVING AGAIN. OR IT WILL COME ON AND START TO GO OFF AGAIN WHEN I STOP

2009 PONTIAC G6 - I WAS DRIVING MY USUAL ROUTE, ON SEVERAL CITY STREETS AND EVENTUALLY ON A HIGHWAY, ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I WAS STOPPED IN MY OFFICE BY MY CO-WORKER. I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE DOING SOMETHING WEIRD AND CRAZY. SHE WENT ON TO SAY THAT AS SHE WAS BEHIND ME, THAT I MUST HAVE BEEN RIDING MY BRAKES ALL THE WAY UNTIL I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF WHILE APPLYING THEM COMING TO A STOP THEN BACK ON WHEN DRIVING. SO BASICALLY WHILE DRIVING, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON CONSTANTLY AND WHEN I APPLY THEM, COMING TO A STOP, THEY COME OFF. I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS GOING ON WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. I DRIVE 30 MINUTES / 30 MILES (ONE WAY) TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I ALSO HAVING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING THE DASH LIGHTS ALL GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON, FEELS LIKE IT LOSES THE POWER STEERING AND THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL BUT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY WHILE DRIVING. DASH LIGHTS, RADIO EVERYTHING GOES OFF, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON BUT NOT INSIDE.

AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IN A PARKING LOT, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. AFTER TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK, THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BECAME UNATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BECAME UNUSABLE. THE CAR ROLLED BACK AFTER THE SHIFTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN PARK, BUT LUCKILY THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON TO ASSIST IN MOVING THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO ALLOW THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK.

INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING IN REVERSE

THE DOOR LOCKS KEEP LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN AND NOW THE BACK PASSANGER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I'M DRIVING AND THE BAD LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON BUT MY GARAGE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY, THEY SAID THERE'S NO REASON FOR IT.

KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FUEL TANK LEAKING WITH THE PONTIAC G6 2009 AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I HAVE SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT WITH MY FUEL LEAKING AT THE TOP OF THE TANK THIS IS A VERY EXTREME SAFETY AND HAZARDOUS PROBLEM CAN A RECALL BE ISSUED THE DEALER SHIP WILL ONLY REPAIR IF A RECALL OR ASKI G ME FOR OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM PLEASE HELP.. SMELL OF GAS WHEN DRIVING ON DRIVER SIDE OF CAR WAS TOLD BY GMC GAS LEAK AT TOP OF TANK.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE AN OCCUPANT AND DOES NOT DEACTIVATE IF THE SENSOR IS MADE. THE CAR LEAKS WATER DURING RAIN STORMS PROFUSELY FROM DRAIN LINES CONNECTED TO THE BODY WORK UNDER THE HEADLINER. THE LINES BECOME DISCONNECTED AT THE JOINTS DUE TO POOR DESIGN. WATER LEAKS ONTO THE SEATBELTS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE FLOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT BECOMES WET AS WELL. IN THE PAST THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AFTERMARKET SEAT UPGRADES IN THIS CAR THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAUSE THIS FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE WATER LEAKING CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE HEADLINER AS WELL AS IT CAUSES MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET DUE TO THE WATER BECOMING STAGNANT. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS MANY DOCUMENTED DESIGN FAULTS THAT WOULD CAUSE WATER INTRUSION SUCH AS POOR AIR CONDITIONING DRAINAGE CAUSES WATER TO BACK UP INSIDE THE CAR. AS WELL AS LEAKING FROM POOR SUNROOF SEALING. THE VEHICLE LEAKS PRIMARILY WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IN MOVING AND WHEN PARK IS ENGAGED.

STARTED SMELLING LOUD GAS FUMES FOUND OUT IT IS A GAS TANK LEAK WAS TOLD A RECALL WAS ISSUED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6 SERIES DEALER GM NOT AWARE IS THERE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

IVE HAD ALIGNMENTS DONE BUT THE CAR STILL PULLS TO ONE SIDE. DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT OR ALIGN WITH STEERING WHEEL. TO DRIVE STRAIGHT MY STEERING WHEEL MUST BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT. IT ALWAYS PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN JERK WHILE DRIVING. PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL BE OFF WHEN PASSENGER IS IN SEAT, AND THEN SOMETIMES WILL BE ON WHEN NOONE IS IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANES VEEY EASILY EVEN WITH NEW TIRES ON.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GARAGE.

MY STEERING WHEEL KEEPS LOCKING UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. ITS BEEN DOING THIS BUT IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL START BACK WORKING. NOW ITS LOCKING UP ABOUT EVERY 5-10 MIN. MY AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. MY WINDOWS DO NOT WORK AND ALL OF MY CAR LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING

I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WELL, THE DOOR SAYS IT'S A 2009, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES BACK AS A 2010. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SAYS GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 2010'S AS WELL, YET THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS A RECALL ON MY GM VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE JUST ISN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE END OF 2009, SO IT'S CONSIDERED A 2010. THAT IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010. THIS ISN'T SOME SILLY LITTLE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT. THIS IS MY STEERING. I COULD CRASH AND DIE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EXPAND THE RECALL. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS SEEN AND SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS. IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. GM MESSED UP AND SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.

HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT. POOR CONNECTION, BURNING/MELTED HEADLIGHT SOCKET, HEADLIGHT CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. ACTIONS TAKEN, I DIDN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL. BURNT SOCKET LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE HARNESS WASN'T ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE AMPERAGE. I REPLACED THE WIRES RUNNING TO HEADLIGHTS WITH A LARGER GAUGE. REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR. ALL HAS BEEN WELL SINCE, GOING ON 3 YEARS NOW. ANOTHER WIRING ISSUE IS THE INJECTOR/CAN SENSOR HARNESS. IF THIS BECOMES LOOSE IN ANY WAY THE CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, POOR FUEL, LOW IDLE, OR STALLING. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH I HAD NO FAULTS OR CEL. I THOUGHT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS ABOUT TO SNAP. ALL THIS DUE TO A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT WIGGLED JUST A TAD LOOSE.

THE HEAD LIGHTS SOCKET BURN UP AND MELT. LEAVES ME WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BUT IT IT NOT.

POWER STEERING FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES. FAILURE MAY OCCUR WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR AT ANY TIME VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED. IF IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON THIS SOMETIMES CLEARS THE PROBLEM AND POWER STEERING WORKS. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF TRAVEL. FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS USED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

DEAR NHTSA; I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6 THAT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK INCURRED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. RECALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ON MARCH 2014 THE NHTSA REQUIRED GM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT ONLY COVERED THE G6 MODELS UP TO THE YEAR 2009, WHICH MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE THE 2009 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FALLS TO THE CONSUMER AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1,800 TO $2,000 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIRRORS THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC'S AS EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS MATTER AND HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT A LOCAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE CONTACTING ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. WHILE I APPRECIATE GM'S WILLINGNESS TO "CONSIDER" THE MATTER, I URGE THE NHTSA TO RE-VISIT THE MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTON CHEVROLET (13600 W CENTER ST, BURTON, OH 44021) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE TORQUE SENSOR WITHOUT CHARGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,900.

TAKATA RECALL , MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO GO OUT AROUND LAST YEAR. I REPLACE THE BULBS WHICH WAS NO EASY TASK ALL TO FIND OUT THAT THE WIRE HARNESS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL GO BAD .REAL BAD WHERE THE WIRES IN THE HEADLIGHTS SHORT OUT AND CORRODE , I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND TO NO AVAIL THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN . I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEAD LIGHT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN YOU HAVE TO HAVE LIGHTS THAT WORK IN ORDER TO SEE TO DRIVE & IT IS THE LAW TO HAVE FULLY FUNCTIONS HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS. THEY CAN GO OUT AT ANYTIME JUST BY TURNING THE CAR ON OR DRIVING. I PAID 22.00 X2 FOR EACH BULB , $150 ONLINE ( 200 FOR EACH AT DEALERS) FOR A PAIR OF HEADLIGHTS AND $80 TO INSTALL THEM AND NOW JUST ANTHER $50 TO DIAGNOSE & $65.00 FOR ANTHER BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT ONLINE CAUSE I CANT AFFORD ANTHER &200 FOR KEN TOWERY OR THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO DO IT, SINCE THE DRIVER SIDE HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT YET AGAIN WITHIN LESS THAN YEAR OF ME JUST REPLACING THEM, I HAVE NO HEAD LIGHT ,NO PARK LIGHT, NO HIGH BEAM OR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CAUSE ALL THE WIRES IN THE HEAD LIGHT ARE CORRODED YET AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL , GM MADE A BIG MISTAKE WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS AND CONSUMERS ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR THIS MISTAKE THAT SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR OR ANY OTHERS. I AM SURPRISED BY THE CORROSION IN THESE WIRE HARNESS & SCARED THAT IT COULD TRIGGER A FIRE HAZA

RECALL NUMBERS: 14E044000 AND 14V153000 RELATE DIRECTLY TO ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING A PROBLEM VEHICLE, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE THAT I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN EACH RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] FOR FOLLOW-UP... 1) POWER STEERING MESSAGE POPS UP ON RADIO WHEN STATIONARY AND I CAN NOT TURN MY WHEEL..WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY AND I CAN TURN MY WHEEL - STEERING RACK PROBLEM IDENTIFIED INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STEERING SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING MAKING STEERING IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IT DOES NOT SHOW A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT'S HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW, THE LAST TIME IT FORCED ME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING HIGH TRAFFIC. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER, THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT. HE SAID IT HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT. IT WILL BE UP TO ME TO TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIR WHICH WILL COST OVER $1500

SINCE 2014, I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING LOSS ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE, WHICH INCLUDES THE MILEAGE AS WELL AS THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY AND WARNING LIGHTS. THE DISPLAY WILL SAY SERVICE WAS SERVICE TRACTION POWER STEERING. HISTORICALLY, THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED, MANY TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. THE ERROR USUALLY CLEARS AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING. TODAY, IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO GM DEALERSHIPS IN THE PAST, BUT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT USE MY VIDEO TO HELP THEM DIAGNOSE. I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER ISN'T STORING A CODE SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. AFTER CONTACTING GM AGAIN TODAY, I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX, BUT ONLY IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN DIAGNOSE. I'M FRUSTRATED. I HAVE MORE THAN DONE MY PART. I HAVE A BABY THAT I PUT AT RISK EVERYTIME I PUT HER IN THE CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY CAN'T THEY USE MY VIDEOS, YES MULTIPLE VIDEOS FROM DIFFERENT DAYS, WHEN THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM? I DO NOT HAVE VIDEO FROM TODAY BECAUSE I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING?

HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING; HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS, CLEANED THE WIRES. THEY WORK FOR FEW WEEKS AND THEN WON'T COME ON. IN DOING A SEARCH ON LINE, I SEE PAGES AND PAGES OF SIMILAR COMPLAINT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN ONE HEADLIGHT OUT AT A TIME, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DO BOTH NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER, BUT DON'T EXPECT THEY WILL KEEP LETTING ME GO WITHOUT ISSUING ME A TICKET WHEN I TELL THEM IT'S BEEN IN FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES.
