I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE. MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL SO I WAS NOT SENT A NOTICE. I WAS SENT NOTICES FOR RECALLS TO THE CAR FOR "BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION" AND "TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURE". ON DEC 15, 2014 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE FROM KISSIMMEE, FL TO DOWN TOWN ORLANDO, THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR FAILED! THE ALARM WENT OFF AND THEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR'S POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THEN ASK THEM WHY I DID NOT GET A NOTICE OF THE RECALL BUT FOUND IT ON THE INTERNET; THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. THEY FIXED THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS BUT REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK MY CAR'S POWER STEERING. I CALLED GMC DIRECT AND SPOKE TO [XXX] (QUALITY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE) DIRECTOR. SHE PASSED MY CONCERN ONTO ANOTHER DEPT. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT POWER STEERING HAS FAILED IN THE 2006 G6 BUT THAT SINCE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I AM DRIVING A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. I AM UNEMPLOYED LOOKING FOR A JOB AND NEED MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF WHAT COULD COST $1500.00 TO REPAIR AN ERROR ON GMC'S SIDE. MORE PEOPLE ARE AT RISK IN THE 2006 G6 AND GMC NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CARS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURES. BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.
