2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

JUST ACQUIRED THE 2008PONTIAC G6 FOR MY SON. LEARNING THERE WERE 2 OPEN RECALLS ON IT. CALLED LOCAL GM SERVICE CENTER AND HAD THEM DONE. NOW A SEAT BELT LIGHT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE POPS ON UPON STARTING THE CAR, DRIVING THE CAR AND ONLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THERE'S A LIGHT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG THAT STAYS ON. IT IS ON WHEN YOU START THE CAR, IT'S ON WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR, IN TOWN AND THE HIGHWAY, IT ONLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. A NEW BATTERY WAS ADDED TO THE CAR, AND NEW SERPENTINE BELT. I HAVE A VAPOR LOCK ISSUE TODAY. PLEASE TELL ME THIS CAR WILL PROTECT MY SON IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. THE AIR BAG ISSUE WORRIES ME. IS THERE AN OPEN RECALL, OR ONE THAT HAS EXPIRED, AND MAY BE REOPENED? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU. *TR

MY CAR IS UNDER THE POWER STEERING RECALL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MYSELF MANY TIMES WITH THE POWER STEERING AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF ON ME AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER MADE ME AWARE OF THIS RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. AND TWICE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TURN.

WHILE DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I AM 'DRIVING' AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I AM BRAKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE , AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND THEY FIXED IT . WELL IAN STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR . AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT . THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT WAS CLEARLY A RECALL THAT WAS NOT FIXED.
