2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE WIPERS FAILED TO WORK. BUT AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF THE VEHICLE OPERATING THEY BEGAN TO THEN WORK. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WOULD WORK WITH THE WASHERS AND HIGH SPEED ONLY. WHEN THE WIPERS WERE LEFT ON AND THE CAR WAS PARKED, THE BATTERY DRAINED AND WAS DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. THEN THE ENGINE ON TWO OCCASIONS ATTEMPTED TO START ITSELF WHEN SITTING AND NOT ON. ON ONE OCCASION IT SUCCESSFULLY STARTED ITSELF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYED ON.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE ISSUE OF THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON IN MY CAR, WHICH WILL CAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK, AND, MY BREAK LIGHTS TO EITHER STAY ON ALL THE TIME, STAY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING, SHUT OFF WHILE I BREAK, OR, JUST NOT COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE AT THE BCM MODULE CLEANED 3 TIMES, THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. I HAVE COMPLETED THE RECALL THE GM FINALLY DID, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE EITHER. I FINALLY TODAY HAD TO GET MY ENTIRE BCM MODULE REPLACED, AND A VERY HIGH COST! I THINK THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THESE ENTIRELY, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO FIX THE "RECALL" IS NOT WORKING!

MY HUSBAND DRIVES OUR 2009 PONTIAC G6. FOR ABOUT THE LAST 6 MONTHS, WE HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, WHILE WIGGLING THE STEERING WHEEL, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE KEY AND START THE CAR. I RECENTLY GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS THE GMIGNITIONUPDATE.COM WEBSITE, AS WELL AS OTHER WEBSITES WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RECALL. THE JUNE 2012 RECALL FOR STICKY IGNITION SWITCH INCLUDES THE PONTIAC G5 BUT NOT THE G6. HOW CAN WE GET THE G6 INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL? UP UNTIL NOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A NUISANCE BUT AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHES, AND THE DEATHS AND INJURIES THAT HAVE RESULTED, I'M A LOT MORE CONCERNED ABOUT CONTINUING TO USE THE CAR.

I WAS TURNING INTO A CONVENIENT STORE PARKING LOT TO PARK AND WHERE THE HOOD IS CAUGHT ON FIRE. I HAD TO JUMP OUT IMMEDIATELY AND A LOCAL GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. IT THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE LINE HAD A HOLE BURN INTO IT, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS OUT AND THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WAS STIFF.

I PURCHASED CAR NEW IN 2009 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM STARTING WITH EXHAUST SYSTEM JUST WEEKS AFTER I GOT IT. IT HAS HAD 3 RECALLS BUT I MORE ARE DUE. THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND AT ONE TIME ALL FRONT LIGHTS WERE OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD THEM REPAIRED WITH NEW CONNECTOR. CURRENTLY, THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS OUT AGAIN AND A NEW HEADLAMP AND ANOTHER CONNECTOR WAS INSTALLED AND STILL WILL NOT STAY ON. OTHER OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHAT SO EVER. THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 2009 MODELS THAT WERE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE AIR BAG ALERT STAYS ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT ALERT AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAT BELT SENSOR MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY REAR DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THAT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I FEEL THE CAR MANUFACTURER KNEW THESE PROBLEMS EXISTED AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING THESE DEATH TRAPS. WITH ALL THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS, I CAN'T GRASP WHY GM DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THIS AND GET THEM OFF THE RODE. I AND OTHER MOTORISTS ARE NOT SAFE WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING THIS CAR. DO THE RIGHT THING GM AND RECALL ALL 2009 PONTIAC G6 AND MAKE THEM SAFE.
