MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR)THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). WHEN I SMACK THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY COME BACK ON. I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR.

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE MELTING THERE CONNECTOR MAKINGTHE LIGHTS TO GO OUT RANDOM AND SOME TIMES BLOWING THE LIGHT BULBS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME DAY AND NIGHT IN MOTION OR NOT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND IM DRIVING AS I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AND OTHER DRIVERS CAN'T SEE ME. THE HIGH BEAMS DO WORK BUT THAT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ANY TRAFFIC AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO NOT BE A BE TO SEE.

BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY. UPON FUTHER INSPECTION NOTICE THAT THE CONNECTOR TO THE BULB IS MELTING. REPLACED WITH NEW CONNECTOR AND THEY TO ARE MELTING. IS THIS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD? NO PATTERN THEY BURN OUT FREQUENTLY. THE NEW CONNECTIOR IS ONLY A WEEK OLD THE BULB WENT OUT AGAIN THE CONNECTOR IS PARTALY MELTED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM JAMES CORLEW AND WAS COMING HOME PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I WENT OUTSIDE TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR WASH GOING DOWN A HILL AND WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL MY CAR JUMPED ALL THE LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER WENT OFF THE RADIO FLICKERED AND AND OUT AND MY CAR DIED MID DRIVING DOWN A HILL I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION DOWN MY HILL AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT AND TO THE OFF POSITION. AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT CAME ON FINE I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME AND HE JUST TOLD ME THAT IT HAD AN ELECTRICAL JUMPSTART WHERE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG TIME. I WEEK PASSES AND I'M GOING TO WORK PARK IT. I GET OFF AND IT'S 9 O'CLOCK AND I'M TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY I PULLED OUT AND MY CAR JUMPED AGAIN BUT IT DIDN'T SHUT OFF THE POWER STARING WARNING CAME ON ON MY RADIO AND THE STEERING WENT OUT . I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF SAT THERE FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. IT DID IT TWO MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. I WAS TIRED OF IT HAPPENING SO I TOOK IT BACK TO MY CAR LOT AND ASK THEM IF IT HAD ANY RECALLS ON IT THEY TOLD ME NO IT ONLY HAD ONE ON THE BACK TAILLIGHT AND THE GEARSHIFT. SO THEY ACTED LIKE THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS NOW IT'S STEERING EASY TO THE RIGHT BUT STEERING HARD TO THE LEFT. AND THEY SAY THERE'S NO RECALL ON IT BUT I LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT 2009 G6 HAS RECALLS ON IT ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BUT I HAVEN'T GOT NO PAPER AND THE MAIL FROM GM I'M NOT PAYING FOR THEIR MISTAKES. IF I GET INTO A WRECK OVER IT SOMEBODY WILL GET SUED. BECAUSE I LET JAMES CORLEW NO THREE TIMES AND THEY ALL TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING. THERE WAS ONE PREVIOUS OWNER SO IF IT HAD A RECALL ON IT COULD THE PAPER HAVE WENT TO THEM ON ACCIDENT?
