I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND MY VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE MY CAR HAULED HOME. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE INFORMED ME ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART EVEN THOUGH IT MATCHES THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. RESTARTED THE CAR SEEMED TO RESOLVE IT FOR A DAY OR TWO. NOW IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT A RECALL, I WAS TOLD MINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL AND THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $800. WHEN IT OR IF IT BECOMES A RECALL I COULD BE REIMBURSED. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DEAL WITH IT. IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIR. *JS

HEAD LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT...THE WIRES CONNECTED WITH THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BURNT AND CORRODED. I HAVE REPLACE THESE PARTS 20 TIMES SINCE 2009. THIS TIME ON JANUARY 1, 2015 THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS ARE TO BURNT TO REPAIR AND THE DEALER SHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE HARNESS KIT ASSEMBLY INSTEAD OF JUST THE WIRES. WHY SHOULD I, THIS PROBLEMS IS FAR AND WIDE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE PONTIAC G6. I TRAVEL WITH MY JOB AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT ON ME AND I HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM JUST TO GET HOME. PLEASE LET GM KNOW AND ISSUE SOME KIND OF RECALL BEFORE I DIE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHT WIRES. *JS

DRIVER SIDE HIGHLIGHT NOT WORKING. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWS THAT THE HEADLIGHT WIRE IS CORRODED & BURNT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR & SEVERAL OTHERS, YET GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL WHICH CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
