2010 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I OWN A 2010 PONTIAC G6 THAT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK INCURRED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. WHILE MAKING A TURN OR A CURVE THE STEERING LOCKS UP. . RECALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ON MARCH 2014 THE NHTSA REQUIRED GM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT ONLY COVERED THE G6 MODELS UP TO THE YEAR 2009. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, IN THE REVERSE POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE POSITION BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD INTO A NEARBY DRIVE-WAY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BR DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. COURTESY OF VERMILION (1201 US-167, ABBEVILLE, LOUISIANA 70510, (337) 347-8983) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 12V460000 (POWER TRAIN) WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE IN 2015. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, "SERVICE ESC" APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. IT FLASHES "SERVICE ESC..... TRACTION OFF...... ESC OFF". THIS DISPLAY WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND WILL SPORADICALLY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE ESC FLASHES ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT ON. ALSO MY PASSAGER HEADLIGHT BLOWS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. COULD BE ONE DAY COULD BE ONE MONTH.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP CALLED DRIVE NOW IN LEBANON TENNESSEE. ABOUT 2 MILES AFTER SIGNING AND TRADING MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ONE THE ESC, TC OFF, CHECK ENGINE, LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHTS ALL CAME ON ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THEM 4 DIFFERENT TIMES NOW AND THEY STATED TO ME IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT!! A MONTH LATER IT ALL BEGAN AGAIN. IT STARTS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AGAIN. THIS TIME HOWEVER ONCE I REPLACED THE LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE I NOTICED IT HAD MELTED INSIDE THE WIRES. I DRIVE HOME AND SEEN THE CAR WAS SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AMD THE BATTERY CABLES WERE BLAZING WITH FIRE. LUCKILY I HAD A GALLON OF WATER THAT I PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY ARE NO LONGER LIABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY THEIR PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. SO NOW I HAVE A CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR THAT CAUGHT FIRE OVER THEIR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. WHAT DO I DO TO GET THIS CORRECTLY FIXED

MY CAR STARTED SMELLING OF GAS. ANOTHER MECHANIC NOTICED A SLOW GAS LEAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE FUEL PUMP. I SEE THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON EARLIER YEARS OF MY MODEL BUT NOT THE 2010. GIVEN THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE CAR.

BRAKES LIGHT ARE ON WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING CAR RUNNING AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN WEATHER DRIVING OR SITTING I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEE ONLINE IT'S A VERY KNOW PROBLEM

WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR THE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ESC MESSAGES APPEAR. . SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED TURNING THE WHEEL, IT WILL BECOME HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CAR WILL BE DRIVING FINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD AND STIFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON MAJOR ROADS AND WHILE COMING IN ANG GOING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IT'S REALLY RANDOM AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T HAPPEN AT ALL FOR A WHILE. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT HAPPENS FOR A FEW TIMES A DAY. MY REMEDY IS USUALLY JUST PULLING OVER, PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF., LETTING IT REST FOR A MINUTE AND START IT AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING SOMEONE INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKELIGHTS STAY ON BUT WHEN I BRAKE THE BRAKELIGHTS GOES OUT. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED! THEY DO OPPOSITE OF THEY SUPPOSE TO DO. GM HAS ISSUE A BULLITIN ALERTING THIS COULD HAPPEN. WHY DO THEY NOT RECALL? THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
