2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSING SYSTEM. AIR BAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2007 PONTIAC G6 VINS BUT MINE IS NOT COVERED. SHOULD THE RECALL COVER MORE VINS IF I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER SAME YEAR MODEL G6'S?

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 WILL AT RANDOM TIMES LOSE THE POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2007 G6'S BUT I WAS TOLD BY PONTIAC THAT MY CAR IS NOT ONE OF THE CARS RECALLED. I EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES HAPPENS BUT THEY STILL SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT'A RISKY TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN IT RANDOMLY DOES THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS GOING 70 MPH AS WELL AS ON CITY STREETS. MY ONLY OPTION ACCORDING TO PONTIAC IS TO PAY TO FIX IT MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.

THE POWER STEERING WILL TURN OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. RESTARTING THE CAR REACTIVATED THE POWER STEERING, THEN RANDOMLY WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND WHETHER TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT.

WE HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6, THE BASE 4 DOOR MODEL. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 THE BELT IS STILL THERE AND AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS THE SENSOR STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN IT SWILL CUT OUT AGAIN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR 2007 PONTIAC G6 BUT OUR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT LISTED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON NHTSA HAS NOT EXPANDED THIS RECALL TO ALL 2007 G6 AND THE MANUFACTURER CAN CARE LESS. MY QUESTION IS AT WHAT POINT DOES NHTSA FORCE A MANUFACTURER TO RECALL SOMETHING THIS OBVIOUS? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE AND THEIR FAMILY BE ON 20/20 BEFORE NHTSA MOVES THEIR BUREAUCRATIC ASSES? FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS ITS OBVIOUS ALL 2007 G6 HAVE THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE THERE PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURES ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE THEM EXPAND THIS RECALL!!!!!!

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE CONTACTED YOU ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER. THE AIR BAGS AND BRAKES (FRONT/REAR) ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE AB LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY BLANKING THE WORDS "NEEDS TO BE SERVICED" AND I'VE HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED AND STILL HEAR A NOISE UPON IMPACT.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

POWER STEERING HAS FAILED TWICE IN 24 MONTHS WHILE BEING DRIVEN. FIRST ON 02/24/2015 AND AGAIN ON 02/14/2017. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR KIT IN 2015 AT A COST OF $586 AND NOW THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED,

CAR SUFFERED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER OR TURN THE CAR. CAR HAS EPS. THE POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY HAS NOT RETURNED.
