I HAVE PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD BY THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM AT #1-800-762-2737. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND IT A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE WEBSITE, RECALL# 14772, WHICH IS AN EXPANSION RECALL FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL 14V-153. PONTIAC IS STATING THAT ONLY VIN NUMBER CARS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 18,2006-JUNE 30,2006 ARE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. PONTIAC AGREED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED BY JAKE SWEENY WHICH PONTIAC ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO. JAKE SWEENY INDICATED IT WAS THE TORQUE SENSOR. I THEN, CALLED BACK PONTIAC TO ADVISE THEM WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC OUTCOME AND PONTIAC STATED THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE READ THERE ARE OVER 69,000 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PONTIAC CAN JUSTIFY THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT RELATED TO THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE UNDER MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY (TITLE 49, CHAPTER 301) THIS IS A SAFETY AND RISK ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 65 MP3 WHEN SHE WENT TO CHANGE LANES SHE LOST POWER STEERING CAUSING HER TO ALMOST WRECK WITH HER 2 BABIES I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WAS RECALL ON STEERING JUST NOT ON MY VIN BUT MY CAR DOES EXACTLY WHAT RECALL MAKES THEM DO AND SHE HAS TWO BABIES IT LOSES POWER STEERING, AND THERE HAS BEEN 12 DEATHS FROM THE RECALL WHEN I CALL THEM THEY SAY MY PONTIAC G6 ISN'T AFFECTED BUT IF SHE WAS TO WRECK AND I HAD IT INVESTIGATED I THINK IT POSSIBLY COULD BE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY WILL SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. POWER STEERING IS RESTORED ONCE THE CAR IS RESTARTED. OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BY GM FOR THE VERY SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE THAT OTHER SAME MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 CARS ARE INCLUDED IN. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED IN 2013 (MILEAGE UNKNOWN- AMOUNT ABOVE IS ESTIMATE) BY MY HUSBAND WHO WAS PRIMARY DRIVER AND IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ONLY IN REVERSE AND IT RESTORED ON ITS OWN. I WAS DRIVING IT IN 2014 WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH- IT WENT OUT ON ME. IT ONLY RESTORED WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED. *TR
