2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I STARTED MY CAR AND MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND ON MY STEREO SCREEN IT SAID "SERVICE AIR BAG". THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2014 BUT THEY SAID THEY HAD IT RESET BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. ALSO, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME AT STOP LIGHTS THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND OFF WHILE I AM STOPPED. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS A RECALL ISSUE BUT IT DOESN'T PULL UP FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. THESE ARE ISSUES OUTSIDE OF THE RECALLS THAT I WAS ALREADY FORCED TO DEAL WITH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING DISPLAYED ON DISPLAY SCREEN. LOSS OF POWER STEERING MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS ISSUE COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM THEN BECAME INTERMITTENT IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS IT WOULD TAKE UP ABOUT FOUR TIME TO START THE CAR TO BE ABLE TO START DRIVING WITHOUT POWER STEERING. MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE RECALLS. I TOOK TO A GM DEALERSHIP THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED, THE TORQUE MODULE SENSOR, WHICH IS THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES UNDER RECALL. SO WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED?!?! I HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED TODAY. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT ALSO JUST STARTED HAPPENING IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS IS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT WORK. THE AIRBAG DISPLAY WILL SHOW ON MY DASH BOARD AND IT WILL SHOW THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF. THIS LIGHT COMES AT RANDOM TIMES WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS SOMEONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I ALSO HAD THIS DIAGNOSED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP. THE SAID IT WAS MY PPS (PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM) THIS ALSO NEEDS A NEW SENSOR AND IT WILL COST $700 TO FIX!!!! THERE IS SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS FOR MY CAR SO THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE SERVICE TECH AT GM SAID THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS (NO KIDDING) AND THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH NONE OF MY AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY. LETS HOPE THAT GM DOES NOT DRAG THEIR FEET ON THIS, ALL SOMEONE NEEDS IS TO LOOSE THEIR POWER STEERING, CRASH, AND HAVE NO AIRBAGS DEPLOY. I HAVE NOT HAD MY AIRBAGS FIXED AS I ALREADY HAD TO SPEND $400 PLUS TO HAVE MY POWER STEERING CORRECTED. IF GM DOES NOT CORRECT THIS ASAP I PREDICT THEY WILL HAVE MANY MORE LAWSUITS COMING THEIR WAY. LETS HOPE I DO NOT GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT UNTIL GM DECIDES TO PAY FOR IT OR UNTIL I CAN SAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

POWER STEERING NOT WORKING, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 2/06/15 FOR RECALL AS I'D READ ONLINE ABOUT IT. DEALER ADVISED VEHICLE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, TO CONTACT GM DIRECTLY. JUST OFF PHONE WITH GM, TOLD THEM I GOT EMAIL FROM NHTSA, AND THAT NHTSA SAID IT WAS A RECALL (NHTSA EMAIL CITES VARIOUS ID #, 15V06400, EXPANSION OF 14V-153, GM#14772, RECALL #N140115). THE GM OPERATOR SUGGESTED WE BRING IT TO A DEALER & PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND ASK THEM TO VALIDATE IF ITS COVERED BY A RECALL, BUT SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. WE DO NOT SEE HOW IT CAN'T BE COVERED, THE CAR IS IN EVERY PARAMETER OF THE RECALL AND IS HAVING THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING "POWER STEERING" APPEARING IN THE DRIVER INFO CENTER IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH.
