TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ON NOVEMBER 03, 2017, MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP, AUTOMOBILE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT FLIPPED AND CRASHED AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON THE HWY AND THE CAR LOST STEERING POWER AND THE CAR WENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE HWY. I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN AT THAT TIME THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN 2013, I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE RECALL NOTICE IN 2015 AND I TOOK MY PONTIAC 06 G6 GTP TO OAKS GMC DEALER TO BE FIXED BY GM, AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER RECALLS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING UNTIL I FOUND RESEARCH THROUGH NHTSA AFTER THE ACCIDENT, NHTSA RECALL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 15V064000,

I'VE GOT A 2006 PONTIAC G6 2.4 AN THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD SOMETIMES FROM PARK TO REVERSE NOT IN NEUTRAL BUT FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE AN IT WILL SHIFT HARD WHEN I'M DRIVING NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND CAR BECAME UNSTABLE CAUSING MY CAR TO WOBBLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE COULDN'T GET IT REPAIRED WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON CAR AND PARTS. ALMOST WREAKED MY CAR WHEN POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY 18 WHEELER HAD TO CALL FOR SOMEONE TO ASSIST TO GET CAR HOME. UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR SMELLS A LOT LIKE GASOLINE. EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON IT STARTS SMELLING LIKE A STRONG ODOR OF GAS.IT SMELLS MORE WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET.

OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC G6. STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE CAR. IT TAKES A 2ND ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR AS WELL. I'VE SEEN THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OVER THE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE BUT NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2006. SINCE WE'RE LONG PAST ANY WARRANTY, I HAD HOPES OF A RECALL BUT SINCE THERE ISN'T, I'M LOOKING AT OVER $1000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP LINE NOW RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT'S SCARY TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

I HAVE HAD HIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT A FIXED EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. THE BRAKE LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON WHEN YOU GO TO BRAKE YOU HAVE NO LIGHTS AT ALL. THE WHOLE TIME YOUR DRIVING THEY BLINK OFF AND ON. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE . SEMI KEPT HONKING AND POINTING TO THE BACK LOOKED OUT REAR VIEW MIRROR AND BOULDER SEE THEM FLASHING.

RECALL 13036 INCLUDING SPECIAL COVERAGE 16188 DID NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS... -SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED -SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE APPLIED -CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE (THE ABOVE CONDITIONS HAVE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TURNING AND BRAKING.) -VEHICLE WILL SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT THE SERVICE BRAKES BEING APPLIED THESE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE THE EXACT CONDITIONS THAT RECALL 13036 WAS TO HAVE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED THIS RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. I CANNOT GET MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO DELIVER THE VEHICLE TO ME UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REMEDIED. SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAYS THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) NEEDS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR RECALL, THE RECALL DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND AM TOLD THAT 1) THE PROBLEM IS THE BCM AND 2) I CANT HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I AM NOT SATISFIED. THE VEHICLE PROBLEM IS NOT REMEDIED. I AM HAVING TO PAY TO GET THE VEHICLE REMEDIED. PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERS ME TO THE NHTSA. THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS FELLOW MOTORISTS AROUND THE VEHICLE. I AM UPSET THAT A LARGE CORPORATION WOULD NOT TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE, AFTER NOT FIXING A RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14V252. THANK YOU
