2009 Pontiac G6 complaints

HAVE A GAS ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING IT CRANKS SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT IF I JUST TURN THE KEY ON AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS IT SEEMS TO BUILD UP FUEL PRESSURE AND CRANKS RIGHT UP.

ON 4/19/2016 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT AROUND 35MPH IT STARTED TO DRIFT LEFT AND WHEN TRIED TO CORRECT THE SITUATION THE STEERING WAS UNRESPONSIVE AS IF LOCKED UP CAUSING A COLLISION WITH AN ON COMING VEHICLE. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE STRAIGHT CITY STREET ON A CLEAR DAY AND NEARLY WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT RECEIVED MOST OF THE DAMAGE. WINDOWS SHATTERED AND AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY.

NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, MOST NOTABLY IN THE TRUNK. ONLINE SEARCHES HAVE NOTED THAT IT IS LIKELY A CRACKED ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE THAT FEEDS THE FUEL LINES. ODOR HAS STEADILY INCREASED OVER THE PAST MONTH.

I'VE BEEN REPLACING PARTS TO TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF WHY THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF, THE TRACTION CONTROL STAYS ON. ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE ALL AT THE SAME TIME.I GET IT FIXED AND THEN 3 WEEKS LATER ITS THE SAME ALL OVER AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. ALOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW WITH THIS CAR KEEP SPENDING MONEY AND IT NEVER GETS FIXED THE RIGHT WAY. WE ALL NEED A SOLUTION.

LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES THE LEFT AND SOMETIMES THE RIGHT. WHEN I START THE CAR HEADLIGHTS WONT COME ON I HAVE TO TAP ON THE HEADLIGHT LENS TO GET THEM TO COME ON, HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND STILL HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER G6 OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WITH MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON" ALSO "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT WITH ALL DOORS SECURELY CLOSED. VEHICLE HAS MAINTENANCE FREE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY SOMETHING POPPED UP ON MY RADIO SAYING POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC I COULDN'T TURN ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT

POWER STEERING GOES OUT RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE I TURN OFF THE CAR THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST RESETS AND THE POWER STEERING IS FINE FOR AWHILE WHILE DRIVING. THEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN.... AND IT OCCURS A MAJORITY OF THE TIME WHILE TURNING. GM SAYS THE RECALL IS VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC. I HAVE THE RIGHT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. BUT, MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT BRING UP A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING. IT IS THE SAME AND A MOST DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT OTHER 2009 PONTIAC G6'S HAVE. WHAT IF MY SON, WHO IS LEARNING TO DRIVE WITH HIS PERMIT, WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL AT THE TIME? I THINK GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO ADDING A FEW MORE VIN NUMBERS TO THEIR RECALL LIST. I BELIEVE THAT READING OTHERS POSTS PRIOR TO MINE SHOWS THIS ALSO... ESPECIALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS.

I HAVE A GAS ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR AND WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK . I COULD SEE WHEN IT WAS ON THE LIFT SIGNS OF LEAKAGE TO THE BOTOM OF THE TANK. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING IT CRANKS SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT IF I JUST TURN THE KEY ON AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS IT SEEMS TO BUILD UP FUEL PRESSURE AND CRANKS RIGHT UP.

2009 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE POWER STEERING ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING LOCKING UP, WAS A RESULT OF THE STEERING TORQUE INPUT BEING DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 179,000.

MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR)THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). WHEN I SMACK THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY COME BACK ON. I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING ON THE HEATED LEATHER SEATS AFTER 5 MINUTES, A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH AND BECAME DISCOLORED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE MELTING THERE CONNECTOR MAKINGTHE LIGHTS TO GO OUT RANDOM AND SOME TIMES BLOWING THE LIGHT BULBS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME DAY AND NIGHT IN MOTION OR NOT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND IM DRIVING AS I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AND OTHER DRIVERS CAN'T SEE ME. THE HIGH BEAMS DO WORK BUT THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ANY TRAFFIC AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO NOT BE A BE TO SEE.

BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY. UPON FUTHER INSPECTION NOTICE THAT THE CONNECTOR TO THE BULB IS MELTING. REPLACED WITH NEW CONNECTOR AND THEY TO ARE MELTING. IS THIS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD? NO PATTERN THEY BURN OUT FREQUENTLY. THE NEW CONNECTIOR IS ONLY A WEEK OLD THE BULB WENT OUT AGAIN THE CONNECTOR IS PARTALY MELTED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM JAMES CORLEW AND WAS COMING HOME PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I WENT OUTSIDE TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR WASH GOING DOWN A HILL AND WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL MY CAR JUMPED ALL THE LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER WENT OFF THE RADIO FLICKERED AND AND OUT AND MY CAR DIED MID DRIVING DOWN A HILL I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION DOWN MY HILL AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT AND TO THE OFF POSITION. AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT CAME ON FINE I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME AND HE JUST TOLD ME THAT IT HAD AN ELECTRICAL JUMPSTART WHERE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG TIME. I WEEK PASSES AND I'M GOING TO WORK PARK IT. I GET OFF AND IT'S 9 O'CLOCK AND I'M TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY I PULLED OUT AND MY CAR JUMPED AGAIN BUT IT DIDN'T SHUT OFF THE POWER STARING WARNING CAME ON ON MY RADIO AND THE STEERING WENT OUT . I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF SAT THERE FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. IT DID IT TWO MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. I WAS TIRED OF IT HAPPENING SO I TOOK IT BACK TO MY CAR LOT AND ASK THEM IF IT HAD ANY RECALLS ON IT THEY TOLD ME NO IT ONLY HAD ONE ON THE BACK TAILLIGHT AND THE GEARSHIFT. SO THEY ACTED LIKE THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS NOW IT'S STEERING EASY TO THE RIGHT BUT STEERING HARD TO THE LEFT. AND THEY SAY THERE'S NO RECALL ON IT BUT I LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT 2009 G6 HAS RECALLS ON IT ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BUT I HAVEN

RIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT BULB. REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. NOT SURE IF THERE IS A POWER SURGE CAUSING THE ISSUE OR A SHORT IN THE WIRE. APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 3 MPH AND MAKING A U-TURN, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND THE POWER STEERING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,500.

I HAVE NOTICED A ODD GAS SMELL IN MY CAR AROUND 60,000 MILES. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS CAP, SO I REPLACED IT AND THE SMELL PERSISTED. I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED BY BOTH A GM AND A FIRESTONE TECHNICIAN AND THEY CONCLUDED IT WAS A CRACKED FUEL PUMP. IT SEEPS GAS OUT UNDER MY VEHICLE AND IF THERE IS AN IGNITION SOURCE I COULD BLOW UP AND DIE. KNOWING OF THE SEVERITY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT IN 2 MONTHS SINCE IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED. MY FAMILY DIDN'T WANT ME TO DRIVE HOME FOR THANKSGIVING BECAUSE THEY FEARED MY CAR WOULD HURT ME. THE GM DEALERSHIP DID NOT OFFER TO FIX IT FOR OTHER THAN FULL COSTS EVEN WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR MODELS AND THE PONTIAC G5 ALSO HAD A RECALL ON THE CRACKED FUEL PUMP FOR 2009S. GM USES THE SAME PARTS IN THEIR CARS ESPECIALLY THE PLASTIC PART THAT IS PRONE TO CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED THE CARS YET. IT STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. IT IS ATYPICAL OF A CAR TO HAVE A DEFECT AT THAT YOUNG OF A AGE, IT CAN'T BE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP SHUTTING ME DOWN AND HAVE EVEN TRIED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS MAKE MONEY OFF ME AND THEY DON'T REALIZE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE HERE AND LIVES COULD BE AT STAKE.

THE SOLUTION GM HAS FOR RECALL #14V252000 DOES NOT WORK. THE RECALL WAS FIXED 9/2014 AND ON 10/31/15 THE SAME PROBLEM WAS NOTICED. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED, GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP ON 11/09/15. THEY REPLACED A BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. NOTICED ON 11/09/15 IN PM THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DO NOT CHANGE WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. A SERVICE TRACTION CAME ON 11/10/15 AND AGAIN ON 11/17/15. I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT TWICE SHOWING THE MILEAGE AND TIME. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS NHTSA RECALL #14V252000 (GM RECALL #13036) ON THIS WEBSITE! I KNOW THIS WILL NOT BE TAKEN CARE OF UNLESS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE DIE FROM AN ACCIDENT JUST LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL!!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY STEERING SUDDENLY FELT TIGHTER THAN USUAL. WHEN I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND MADE RIGHT TURN IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. THE WARNING CAME ON THAT SAID CHECK POWER STEERING.

STARTED NOTICING A PROMINENT GAS SMELL EVERYTIME I PULLED MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. I LOKKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND NOTICED A DRIP, TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE FUEL LINE RUPTURED. I FOUND A GM CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12190, THE DEALER SAID I AM NOT COVERED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN CA WHICH IS ONE THE STATES THAT SUCH CAMPAING MENTIONS TO BE COVERING. THE SMELL IS VERY NOTICEABLE AFTER PLACING THE IGNITION IN ACC, WHICH PRIMES THE PUMP I ASSUME, IF THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS OR OVERNIGHT THE SMELL IS GONE. I BELIEVE THAT MY VIN SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY GM AS THIS IS PRESENT A FIRE HAZRD AND POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY.

MY G6 WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE BCM. THE PROBLEM CAUSED LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, CRUISE CONTROL AND THE LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. A SWITCH WAS REPLACED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THE BCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST $800. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL WAS "INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BMC MAY RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS". I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACING THE BCM. IT IS VERY SCARY AND UPSETTING WHEN THE "SERVICE TRACTION" WARNING APPEARS WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT AND NOT KNOWING IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON OR NOT.

STARTED SMELLING FUEL ON EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, MOST PROMINENTLY NEAR THE GAS TANK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THE LINE CONNECTED TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS CORRODING AND FUEL WAS LEAKING. THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MODULE, AS PARTS ARE NOT SOLD SEPARATELY. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH PONTIACS. DID A LITTLE DIGGING AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE OVER 40,000 RECALLS ON GM PRODUCTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON THE 2009 PONTIAC G6 DID NOT MAKE THAT LIST. APPARENTLY WE NEED SOME MORE COMPLAINTS TO GET GM TO ADD THE G6 TO THE RECALL LIST (AS LEAKING FUEL COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD!!!!).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A LOUD NOISE AND BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,479.

CAR STARTED DRAGGING - COULD NOT DRIVE NO MORE THAN 5 MILES - TRANSMISSION WENT OUT - WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE - NO INDICATION ON COMPUTER OF ENGINE PROBLEM - READ ABOUT SIMILAR RECALL ON PONTIAC G6 FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS - THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME RECALL PUT OUT ON CERTAIN G6 - BUT NOT MINE BECAUSE OF ENGINE SIZE - I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THIS RECALL - I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE IT.....UPDATED 10-27-15 *BF

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUOUSLY BURNS OUT. I HAVE REPLACED IT 5 TIMES APPROXIMATELY ONCE PER MONTH. I AM VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BULB. I HAVE ALSO BOUGHT THE BULBS FROM DIFFERENT STORES JUST IN CASE IT WAS A BAD BATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PULL OUT AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE RADIO POWER STARING SO I DRIVE FOR ABOUT A MILE AND I PULL OVER AT A GAS STATION AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND SIT THERE FOR TWO MINUTES AND CUT IT BACK ON AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL IT SHOOK HARD WHEN THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK.

ON 6/25/12 MY CAR WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHEN STEERING. DEALERSHIP REPLACED STEERING GEAR AND ADJUSTED "FRONT TOE" AND GEAR ASSEMBLY. (ACCORDING TO THE WORK ORDER. ). ON 8/27/15 I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR DUE TO A VERY LOUD WHINING SOUND. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THAT MORNING THERE WAS STILL THE LOUD WHINING SOUND AND A CLUNKING SOUND. THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE POWER STEERING RACK & PINION. TOTAL REPAIR BILL WAS $929.44. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD TO HAVE TWO REPAIRS TO EXHAUST GASKET. (ONE 4/25/15 AND ANOTHER ONE ON 8/18/15). I AM ATTACHING ALL REPAIR BILLS, TITLE, ETC FOR YOUR REVIEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. UPON ENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT DEACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT APPLIED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCUMULATUNG WATER IN THE REAR PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS FOR THREE YEARS, CAUSING MUSTY SMELL AND MOLD SPORES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO VINCE WHIBBS THREE TIMES STILL NOT FIXED. MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUES ON INTERNET EVEN A U TUBE VIDEO AS EXPENSIVE A CAR WE SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

CAR TRAVELED OFF THE HIGHWAY, HIT TWO TRESS AND ROLLED OVER AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. (PER PICTURES POLICE REPORT AND TESTIMONY)

HEAR A DING AND POWER STEERING MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON...HAS HAPPENED 5/6 TIMES IN LAST WEEK, AS YET THE STEERING ISN'T AFFECTED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED FACIAL AND RIB CAGE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,591.

THE HEADLAMP SOCKET HAS BLOWN OUT 3 LIGHT BULBS SINCE JANUARY (IT IS NOW JULY). THE SOCKET HAS TOTALLY MELTED AND PARTS OF IT HAVE BROKEN OFF MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE BULB AGAIN. THE SOCKET AND BULB HAVE BURN MARKS ON THEM.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO BE "FIXED" AND NOW MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE: LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL, MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEAR OUT OF PARK POSITION. THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN OCCURRING IN 2013. GM SHOULD HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THE "FIX" WAS TEMPORARY, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY DUE TO MY BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL NOTICE AND TAKING MY CAR TO BE SERVICED, I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN. IT TURNS OUT THE MECHANICS AT THE GM DEALER JUST CLEANED THE BCM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO IT, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING BEFORE THE RECALL EVEN CAME UP...IT IS INSULTING THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER THIS A "FIX" AND ENDANGER THEIR DRIVERS, WHEN THEY HAD TO KNOW THAT THIS WOULD ONLY HELP TEMPORARILY. IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE BCM NEEDS REPLACED TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS, AS I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER HAVING REPEAT ISSUES AFTER HAVING THE CAR "FIXED" DURING THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR), AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). W

THE WIPERS FAILED TO WORK. BUT AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF THE VEHICLE OPERATING THEY BEGAN TO THEN WORK. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WOULD WORK WITH THE WASHERS AND HIGH SPEED ONLY. WHEN THE WIPERS WERE LEFT ON AND THE CAR WAS PARKED, THE BATTERY DRAINED AND WAS DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. THEN THE ENGINE ON TWO OCCASIONS ATTEMPTED TO START ITSELF WHEN SITTING AND NOT ON. ON ONE OCCASION IT SUCCESSFULLY STARTED ITSELF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE IN THIRD GEAR OR REVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WAVE PLATE FRACTURED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE ISSUE OF THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON IN MY CAR, WHICH WILL CAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK, AND, MY BREAK LIGHTS TO EITHER STAY ON ALL THE TIME, STAY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING, SHUT OFF WHILE I BREAK, OR, JUST NOT COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE AT THE BCM MODULE CLEANED 3 TIMES, THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. I HAVE COMPLETED THE RECALL THE GM FINALLY DID, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE EITHER. I FINALLY TODAY HAD TO GET MY ENTIRE BCM MODULE REPLACED, AND A VERY HIGH COST! I THINK THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THESE ENTIRELY, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO FIX THE "RECALL" IS NOT WORKING!
