2006 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY G6 2006 3.9 GTP TRANSMISSION WONT MOVE THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR THE TRANSMISSON SHOWED NO SIGN OF GOING BAD I HAVE TO PUT CAR IN MANUAL TO DRIVE IT ALSO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT POPS ON RANDOM TIMES FOLLOWED BY A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE.

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS BECOMING IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE MECHANIC HOOKED IT UP TO THE MACHINE AND TOLD ME THAT IT HAS A BAD SENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STICK ON. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. THERE IS A CONNECTOR DOWN ON PASSENGER SIDE BELOW RADIO THAT I FOUND OUT WAS SUPPOSEDLY RECALLED BUT NOTHING IS COMING UP AS A RECALL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2017 AND HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING FUEL PUMP FAILURE, INCLUDING LEAKAGE WHICH PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT GENERAL MOTORS DENIED THE REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER. THEY CLAIM THAT THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO THE ACTUAL VIN NUMBER. HAVING SUFFERED A FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING LEAKAGE AND THEREFORE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, I PAID TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THIS REPAIR COST ME $881.46. CLEARLY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO GENERAL MOTORS. THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURE.

THE CAR IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE REAR I BELIEVE IT'S A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP CASING, NOT TOO SURE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP AREA, UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER REAR AREA.

FOR THE LAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION TO MY CAR THAT IT TAKES 3-5 TIMES OF ME TRYING TO START THE CAR BEFORE THE CAR WILL START. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE THIS MORNING TO TEST EVERYTHING, MY STARTER ETC. WHEN THEY PLUGGED IT IN TO THE SUB PORT UNDERNEATH WHERE I PUT MY FEET FOR THE GAS AND BREAK IT WOULDN'T GIVE HIM ANY READINGS AND HE DID THIS 3-4 TIMES. HE SAID THE ONLY THING HE COULD SAY IT WAS COMPUTER ISSUES AND IF MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON TO GET IT TURNED OFF. I LOOKED FOR RECALLS BUT NONE CAME UP. WHAT DO I DO BECAUSE COMPUTER WORK IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY EVERY TIME AND IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN THE VEHICLES SITS FOR LONG PERIODS/ OVER NIGHT. I TURN EVERYTHING FROM NY DAYTIME LIGHTS, MY RADIO AND DOME LIGHT OFF. IT'S HAD BEEN DOING THIS SINCE AUGUST 10, 2018. MY EMAIL IS [XXX] YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
