WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE DAY I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL START TO RATTLE WHILE SITTING STILL AT A RED LIGHT. LATER I BEGAN FEELING THE STEERING WHEEL JERK TO THE LEFT. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS A STRUGGLE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND BACK TRYING TO KEEP MY CAR IN LINE. IT NOW SWERVES BOTH WAYS AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO STRAIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GM BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE READ ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THESE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME SORT OF ANSWER.

DURING OPERATION ALL SUPPORTING ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING FAILED, LEAVING DRIVER UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE, I NOTE THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUES DURING THE CLOSE PRODUCTION PERIOD. [XXX] PONTIAC 2007 G6. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS OFF, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND SLOW AND BE DIFFICULT TO HANDLE, THIS WAS INTERMITTENT FOR 1 WEEK, THEN THE ABS, AIRBAG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF, IN ANY ORDER, ONE OR TWO AT A TIME, THEN OFF THEN ANOTHER ONE OFF AND ON. I HAD A RECALL DONE ON THE BCM ISSUE LAST DECEMBER, YET WAS TOLD THIS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE WITH THE OIL CONTROL CELENOID MODULE AND VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES, WHICH I AM NOW PAYING TO REPAIR. REGARDING THE HEAD LAMPS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE BULBS WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF AND COME BACK ON ON EITHER SIDE, I WOULD CHANGE THE BULB AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. TODAY I DISCOVERED THIS WAS A "SERVICE BULLETIN" AND AM HAVING IT REPAIRED. HOWEVER, SINCE GM RECOGNIZES THIS IS A PROBLEM AND, HAS MADE NEW PART FOR THE ISSUE, I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES COULD HAVE COMPROMISED MY SAFETY AT ANY TIME, WHICH IS WHY I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE REPORTED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER / SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ALERT COMES ON..I HAVE AN 07 PONTIC G6 THAT KEEPS GIVING ME A "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE, THEN CUTS YOUR POWER AND YOU CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE POWER GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30, IT KEEPS DOING THAT. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS PEDDLE ($180) AND IT STILL DOES THAT, SO I AM HAVE THE THRODDLE BODY REPLACED, GOD KNOWS WHAT THAT IS GOING TO COST ME. IS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS? LIKE I SAID, IT IS VERY DANGEROUR WHEN YOUR PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF CARS AND IT DOES THIS.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ALUMINATE, OTHER VEHICLES ARE UNAWARE WHEN MY VEHICLE IS SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC.
