2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS. I HAVE GOTTEN PULLED OVER TWICE NOW FOR A LIGHT OUT. NOW I FIND IF I SMACK THE LIGHT IT COMES BACK ON?

THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING. I HAVE TO THEN PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR FOR IT TO START WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I OWN A 2010 PONTIAC G6 WITH ROUGHLY 97,000 MILES ON IT, TODAY WHILE DRIVING IT INCURRED POWER STEERING FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY AFTER DROPPING MY YOUNGEST OFF AT THE SITTERS AND WENT TO PULL OUT ON TO A BUSY ROAD WHEN IT FAILED. 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. THE SERVICE ADVISER AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR THE EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE THE 2010 MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO FALL ON THE CONSUMER AND IT IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1800 TO $2000 RANGE, SOMETHING I REALLY CANNOT AFFORD. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND HAS SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS AS THE EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE REVIEW THIS MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFEAT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW THIS MATTER AND HOPEFULLY AMEND THE POWER STEERING RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2010 MODELS. *TR

MY POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT ,I HIT A CURB TODAY ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED AND THEN SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN.THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE WILL CAUSE SOME ONE TO HAVE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT,AND GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE,THIS CAN TURN INTO A VERY SERIOUS LAWSUITE,I DEMAND THAT MY 2010 PONTIAC G6 STEERING PROBLEM BE COVERED UNDER RECALL,THIS IS A FORMAL DEMAND.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ESC LIGHT KEPT COMING ON (ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT GOING SLOW OR TURNING IN A MANNER THAT WOULD TYPICALLY TRIGGER IT). I STOP TO GET GAS, AND I TURN OFF MY CAR. I TURN IT BACK ON AFTER GAS AND THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS AN ESC OFF LIGHT. I BEGIN TO TRY DRIVING AND IT APPEARS THAT MY POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I GO ONLINE AND SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR PONTIAC G6 MODELS UP TO 2009 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V153000). I HAVE A 2010. UPON SEARCHING FURTHER, I FOUND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2010 BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE CAR FIXED WITHOUT A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THE 2010 MODEL WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I AM WRITING BECAUSE IT APPEARS AS THOUGH WE ARE AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
