2009 PONTIAC G5 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH AND THE STEERING MECHANISM WENT OUT. IT AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO CONTROL TURNING MY VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I CHECKED ONLINE TO FIND OUT THAT MANY CARS INCLUDING MY CARS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL ARE BEING RECALLED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AS OF YET. PLEASE ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G5. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AS WELL AS THE REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IN 2010 THERE WAS A RECALL AND THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS REPLACED. NOW I WAS TOLD ,BY THE COMPANY, THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

GAS IS LEAKING (FAIRLY STEADY FLOW) NEAR REAR DRIVER-SIDE TIRE WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING, IN PARK OR DRIVE, STOPS LEAKING ONCE CAR IS OFF. THIS APPEARS LIKE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY #12191B, BUT ACCORDING TO GM MY VIN IS NOT IN SYSTEM AS BEING COVERED. GM WILL NOT COVER UNLESS I TAKE CARE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I WONT TAKE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS SINCE IT COULD CATCH FIRE UNTIL I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE COVERED. VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 100K MILES.

FUEL LEAKING FROM REAR OF CAR. STRONG GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE CAR. VERY POOR GAS MILAGE LEAKS PARKED OR DRIVING.

FOR THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS THE CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WON'T GO OFF. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO RECALL INFORMATION ON IT. NOT SURE WHERE TO GO AFTER THAT. ALSO I HAD A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID ITS NOT THE RECALL. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. SO THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET. JUST WONDERING WHERE TO GO FROM HERE?

I PURCHASED ASPEN TOURING AS TIRES IN 12/2014. 20,000 MILES ON TIRES AND SIDEWALL HAS BUMP. I TOOK VEHICLE TO MERCHANTS TIRE CULPEPER VIRGINIA AND TAHEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $57.00 TO REPLACE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE TIRE. WAS ONLY $60.00 TIRE TO BEGIN WITH. THEY WERE PRORATING TIRE AND CHARGING ME ANOTHER FEE FOR ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY ON TIRE WHICH I HAD PURCHASED ON ALL TIRES AT TIME OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. HAS THERE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH DEFECTIVE SIDEWALLS ON THESE TIRES?

THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. YOU WILL JUST BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CITY STREET OR INTERSTATE AND THE CAR WILL DING," THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON" AND YOU ARE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES, MY SON STATED HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. THAT IS NOT THE CASE SINCE 2/10/2016, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT I AM TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IT IS DOING EVERYTHING THE RECALL STATES, IT IS ONE OF THE MAKES AND MODELS SPECIFIED AND YET I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? THIS IS MY SON'S CAR, HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING, IT TAKES GREAT EFFORT TO TURN AND YOU DEFINITELY CANNOT MAKE ANY TIGHT TURNS, IT WAS ALL WE COULD DO TO GET IT HOME. MY SON STATED IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS.
