EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IS SHOT. IT STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO..ONE BY ONE, EVERYTHING IN THE CAR (ELECTRICAL) STOPPED WORKING. SUCH AS.. 1. POWER LOCK FOR THE DOORS DOESN'T WORK 2. TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON DOESN'T OPEN THE TRUNK 3. CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF EVERY TIME I OPENED THE DOOR (AS THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED) 4. AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING 5. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD GO OFF WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. 6. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULDN'T ILLUMINATE AT ALL SOMETIMES. 7. HEADLIGHTS AND/OR TAILLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT, OR DIM RANDOMLY 8. PUSH-LOCK BUTTON ON EACH DOOR WOULD GO UP AND DOWN (BY ITSELF) AS I WOULD BE DRIVING, OR WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. (COULDN'T LOCK MY CAR DOORS) BECAUSE OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES, I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE. I ALSO HAD MY CAR REPAIRED A COUPLE TIMES (MECHANIC EVEN CALLED PONTIAC FOR ASSISTANCE). AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED, (IF POSSIBLE), THE LIGHTS WOULD STOP PROPERLY WORKING AGAIN, SHORTLY AFTER BEING 'REPAIRED' . EVENTUALLY, I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE FEBRUARY, 2014 (5 MONTHS). I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUOUSLY GET THE CAR FIXED (TO PASS INSPECTION), OR PAY FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS. THEREFORE, I HAVEN'T HAD A CAR TO DRIVE FOR 5 MONTHS. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL (PRIOR TO THE RECALL LETTER IN JUNE 2014) STATING THERE WAS A DEFAULT WITH THE POWER STEERING. I CALLED THE NUMBER TWICE. AT FIRST, I WAS TOLD MY CAR ISSUES WERE NOT RELEVANT TO THE DEFAULT. THE SECOND TIME, (PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS LATER) I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOW OVER THE MILEAGE TO BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY (STATED IN THE LETTER), AND THEREFORE IT VOIDED MY ELIGIBILITY TO HAVE THE REPAIRED BY THEM. *TR

MY STEERING WHEEL KEEPS GOING OUT. CLUNKING AND I HEAR A POPPING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALER TO FIND OUT THERE'S A RECALL OUT BUT MY CAR ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IRONIC IS IT THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT GM PUT A RECALL OUT FOR IT BUT MINE ISN'T COVERED. THIS IS [XXX] AND IM READY TO GET RID OF THIS PIECE OF [XXX]. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING ON HWY 526 CHARLESTON SC. WITH MY TWIN DAUGHTERS AND 7YR. OLD SON AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING, CIGARETTE LIGHTERS STOP WORKING. I COULD NT SEE FEARED FOR MY KIDS LIFE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING TO G6 CARS. EVER SINCE I GOT THIS CAR ITS BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER I CANT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THAT IS A DEFECT AND PAY CAR NOTE, PLUS KEEP A JOB I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO GET THERE OR ANYWHERE IF IT'S RAINING . *TR

REAR DOORS WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT UNLOCK EITHER WITH DOOR SWITCH OR KEYLESS CONTROL. THIS CREATE A HAZARD IF A SMALL CHILD IS IN A REAR SEAT RESTRAINT, HAVE TO CRAW BETWEEN THE SEATS TO TRY AND REACH THE LOCKS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THEM. *TR
