THE DEALERSHIP AFTER CHARGING ME $134 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY KNEW FROM BEFORE WANTED AN ADDITIONAL $1200 TO REPLACE THEIR OWN DEFECTIVE PUMP WHICH THEY RECALLED ON THE 2007 MODEL AND MANY OTHER VEHICLE....ITS A MAJOR RIP OFF AND A [XXX] SHAME !

THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES ALREADY, THE MOST RECENT WAS TODAY. THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GIVES OUT AND I CAN NOT STEER THE CAR AT ALL LEFT OR RIGHT. THE FIRST TIME I ALMOST HIT A CAR AND PERSON PULLING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT.THE SECOND TIME I HIT A CURB TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAS ALMOST COST MY LIFE THE FIRST TIME. NO ONE WILL FIX IT BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORTING IT ON MY VIN NUMBER YET. I HAVE CALLED THE GM LINE TO REPORT IT. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD. I HAVE EVEN CALLED 2 DEALERSHIPS AN THEY SAID I CAN PAY FOR IT NOW TO GET FIXED AND BE REIMBURSED WHEN THE RECALL COMES OUT AFTER ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED IT. I CANT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET ! ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY TO LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING AN SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN !!.THIS RECALL HAS EFFECTED MANY CARS OF THE SAME MAKE /MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE.I SUFFER FROM MINE NOT KILLING ENOUGH PEOPLE FIRST TO GET IT FIXED.. THIS ALREADY ALMOST COST MY LIFE OR MAJOR INJURY. I WANT IT FIXED BEFORE IT KILLS ME OR CAUSES ME TO KILL SOMEONE ELSE. ITS DOCUMENTED NOW THAT I HAVE REPORTED THIS BECAUSE A CRASH IM SURE IS COMING SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 2 TIMES ALREADY.I'M HOPING SOMEONE WILL HELP ME TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE... I AM AFFECTED ,MY CAR HAS THIS ITS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DIES ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF MY CAR..YOUR RESPONSIBLE . *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCE SOME ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE ON AND OFF, HERE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IT HAS WORSEN. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHILE I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE SPECIFICALLY AS I NEED TO MAKE A TURN. I USUALLY HAVE TO APPLY A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE JUST TO TURN. I FEEL LIKE MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS T RISK. HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM WHO HAS MADE CONTACT WITH A DEALER SO I CAN TAKE MY CAR IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THEY HAVE STATED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A COUPLE OF RECALLS BUT THE POWER STEERING ISSUE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER 2006 G6 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON DIFFERENT SITES. INTERESTING ENOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST LOST FOR PONTIAC G6 ALL OF 2005, "SOME 2006, 2008 AND 2009. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL CONSIDERING MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE RECALL IS FOR. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE FOR SOME ONE TO GET VERY HURT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. AND FOR WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IT IS AFFORDABLE TO REPAIR IS IN FACT VERY EXPENSIVE OVER 1,000 DOLLARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. NOW IT JUST STAYS ON.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 3 RECALLS FOR EVERYTHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE TRANSMISSION POWER STEERING AND BRAKES...THE POWER STEERING JUST GIVES OUT WITHOUT WARNING! *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A LOW IMPACT ACCIDENT ON 9/12/2014. THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE (PONTIAC G6) DEPLOYED BUT NOT IN THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK ME. WHEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT TORE THE STEERING WHEEL COVER OPEN SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING THE METAL PONTIAC SYMBOL IN THE CENTER TO STRIKE MY LEFT WRIST. I NOW HAVE A HALF CIRCLE IMPRINT ON MY LEFT WRIST (FROM THE EMBLEM) THAT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE GOING AWAY AND A FRACTURED SCAPHOID BONE (IN THE WRIST) AND I AM IN A CAST FOR 6 OR MORE WEEKS. HAD THE STEERING WHEEL COVER OPENED IN A LESS DANGEROUS WAY I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM MY ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES. IT DOESN'T APPEAR VERY LOGICAL TO HAVE METAL PIECES MOVING WITH SUCH FORCE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE DRIVERS HANDS AT THE TIME OF A CAR ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT COMPLETELY REMOVING THE METAL PIECE OR DESIGNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN A WAY THAT IT OPENED DIFFERENTLY, SUCH AS UP AND DOWN, COULD HAVE PREVENTED MY INJURIES AND POSSIBLY THE LIFE LONG BRANDING I MAY NOW HAVE ON MY WRIST. *TR
