2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN. POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THAT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET AND BEGAN TO LOCK UP AND CAUSED MOST PROBLEMS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN.

MY VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT. IT WENT OUT ONCE WHILE I WAS FULLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ANOTHER TIME WHILE I WAS GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL WORKING SOMEWHAT, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JITTER/SHAKE LEFT AND RIGHT (MAINLY TO THE LEFT). THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING WOULD ALSO OCCASIONALLY BE OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND WOULD USUALLY COME BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

I HAVE 61954 MILES ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 MARCH 30 2007 BRAND NEW. THERE WAS A RECALL #06143 THE AIR BAG SERVICE SYSTEM /FMVSS 208.MY VIN # WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE SUMMARY OF THIS RECALL IS IDENTICAL AS TO WHAT IS NOW HAPPENING CAR. IF I HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT SIDE SEAT WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THE CAR. I GET AN ALARM. I DO NOT NORMALLY HAVE A PASSENGER AND DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK 4 MILES 4 DAYS A WEEK. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE 359 COMPLAINTS WERE SUBMITTED IN BACK IN 2007 AND RECALLED, I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ABOUT IT. PLEASE EXTEND THIS RECALL. I VERY SELDOM HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT. RECENTLY WHEN SOMEONE GETS OUT GET OF THE CAR I AM NOW GETTING AN ALARM. IF PLAY WITH THE SEAT BELT IT STOPS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS SERVICE MY CAR WHEN IT NEEDS IT. I TOOK IT TO LANNAN CHEVELOT WOBURN MA 01890 THIS WEEK. THEY DIAGNOSED AND FOUND PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE HAS A INTERMITTENT INTERNAL FAILURE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL # 06143. PLEASE REVIEW MY CLAIM, AND CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON DEC 11,2019 AND I HEARD A LOAD POP THAT CAME FROM UNDER MY DASH. SMOKE STARTED TO FILL MY CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAD NOTICED ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTING AND COMPONENTS HAD STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY AND WHEN I OPEN MY TRUNK I NOTICED THE FUSE BOX LOCATED IN THE TRUCK AND COMPLETELY BURNER UP. ALSO THE WIRES THAT ARE LOCATED UNDER THE DASH HAS ALSO CAUGHT FIRE AND THAT IS WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR AND BOTH CASES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDANS. THE FIRST CASE WAS WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I ALMOST WRECKED TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND I WANT THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED AT. I HAVE SPOKE TO AN ATTORNEY AND HE ADVISED ME TO FILL OUT A REPORT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S NOT FAIR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BUY A CAR AND EXPECT TO BE SAFE KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE PUT CHEAP PARTS AND FAULTY WIRING IN IT. SOMETHING SERIOUS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND MY CAR COULD HAVE EASY FOUGHT FIRE. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE DAMAGE WILL BE ABOUT $1000-$1200 DOLLARS AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM COST ME OVER $600. I WANT A REIMBURSEMENT AND I WANT MY CAR FIXED. THERE IS NO REASON WHY GM CAN'T FIX IT FOR FREE. IT'S CURRENTLY SITTING AT MY MECHANICS BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. PLEASE TAKE TIME AND LOOK INTO THIS MATTER I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THE OTHER CARS WERE.
