2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

"TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE; BRAKE LIGHTS, AIR BAG PASSENGER SIDE, IGNITION" SHIFTER INTERMITTENTLY HANGS UP WHEN SHIFTING. CALLED DEALERSHIP FIRST WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECALL FOR THAT VIN NUMBER, THAT NOTHING WAS ON FILE. THEN WHEN I READ HIM THE NOTICE I RECEIVED TODAY HE SAID THAT I WAS TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAD PARTS. I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR AND ASKED FOR A LOANER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. (SERVICE DEPT.) CALLED PONTIAC CS. 800 762 2737 I WAS TOLD AFTER EXPLAINING MY PROBLEM THAT IT WAS THE DEALERSHIPS DISCRETION AS TO WHETHER TO PROVIDE A LOANER. SHE TALKED TO DEALERSHIP, CAME BACK AND THEN ASKED ME HOW MANY MI WAS ON CAR. 82K THEN SHE TALKED TO DEALER AGAIN AND SHE COMES BACK AND TELLS ME THEY NEED TO CHECK IT AND PROVIDE ME WITH AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS THEN I AM TO CALL THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERV BACK WITH THE ESTIMATE. ???????? SO I AM STILL DRIVING A CAR THAT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH BECAUSE THEY NEED AN ITEMIZED BILL OF REPAIR? IS THIS THE PROCESS FOR A RECALL? I DEFINITELY WILL NOT TAKE IT TO "THAT DEALERSHIP" FOR AN INSPECTION AS NOW I DO NOT TRUST THEM AS THEIR COMPUTERS HAD NO RECALLS OR REPAIR REPORTS FOR MY CAR AT ALL.. RECALL NO. 14152 TRANSMISSION CABLE I WAS PROVIDED WITH A CASE NO. AND TOLD TO CALL PONTIAC CS BACK. P.S. SO IS THIS PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALSO I AM CONFUSED????? *TR

PONTIAC G6 2007 SUFFERED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING COLUMN AND SENSOR, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $700.00. ALTHOUGH THIS VERY ISSUE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL IN OTHER MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES, THE 2007 IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. A LETTER WAS SENT TO GM NOTIFYING THEM OF PART FAILURES AND COSTS. TO DATE, GM HAS NOT RESPONDED TO THE NOTIFICATION, AND THE 2007 MODEL YEAR HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. SIMULTANEOUSLY, PONTIAC G6 2007 SUFFERED A TOTAL FAILURE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM, SO THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD NOT BE DEPLOYED.

A LETTER WAS SENT TO GM NOTIFYING THEM OF PART FAILURES AND COSTS. TO DATE, GM HAS NOT RESPONDED TO THE NOTIFICATION. *TR

AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT "SOME" MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS MODEL WAS NOT ONE, IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE SAME PARTS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF $800. *TR
