2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL ODOR WHICH IS CAUSED BY POOR MATERIAL USED ON FUEL PUMP. IT IS AROUND REAR OF CAR AND INSIDE CAR, ALSO OVER MUFFLER. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO GM FOR A RECALL. HAPPENS TO 99% OF THESE VEHICLES. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN.

I WAS PARKED IN A MOSTLY VACANT PARKING LOT ABOUT 8PM. I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AFTER COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE. I PUT KEY INTO IGNITION BUT DID NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK OR MOVE THE CAR. I TURNED ON THE DOME LIGHT TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. AS I WAS LEANING TOWARD PASSENGER DOOR, THE HEAD CURTAIN AND SEAT SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED LITERALLY IN MY FACE. ONLY THE AIR BAGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT WAS VERY LOUD AND SOME POWDERY TYPE SUBSTANCE HAD BEEN DISPENSED INTO THE AIR. IT MADE INTERIOR SURFACES FEEL A BIT SLIPPERY , HAD A STRONG ODOR AND MADE MY EYES BURN. HAVING NEVER EXPERIENCED AIR BAGS DEPLOYING ,IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR HAD JUST EXPLODED.FOR A MOMENT I COULD NOT SEE OR HEAR. I THEN REMOVED THE KEY AND OPENED DRIVERS DOOR. I SAW SOMETHING DUSTY FLOAT OUT ON THE AIR. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AT THAT POINT I LOOKED OVER THE CAR ,SAW THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED.THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ANYWHERE NEAR ME NOR WAS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT ANYTHING HAD HIT THE CAR. IT WAS QUITE A SHOCK TO HAVE THIS RANDOMLY HAPPEN. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT . AFTER STARTING THE CAR TO SEE HOW IT RAN ,I DROVE IT HOME. I REPORTED IT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.AFTER MANY QUESTIONS AND SEVERAL DAYS OF REVIEW I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO IMPACT AND AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A MECHANICAL FAILURE.

BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE REPLACED BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR AND NOW THE TRUNK BRAKE LIGHT IS THE ONLY ONE WORKING REGULAR LIGHTS ALL WORK BUT THE LIGHT ON THE TRUNK IS THE ONLY BRAKE LIGHT THAT WORKS WHEN PRESSING THE FOOT PEDAL.

UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 202,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. I TURNED MY CAR OFF WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT SAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN I GOT READY TO LEAVE AND STARTED TO DRIVE THE STEERING HAD RETURNED. A CHIN WENT OFF AND THE WORDS PI WERE STEERING APPEARED WHEN IT HAD GONE OUT.
