2006 PONTIAC G6- Citrus Heights, CA
I had to replace the fuel pump module assembly because it was leaking fuel out from above the fuel tank and dripping down near the exhaust. A strong fuel smell alerted me to the issue and upon inspection we found fuel dripping out. This is a safety issue because leaking fuel near the exhaust is a possible problem for ignighting. There was no indication from the car itself that the leak was occurring. We had to figure it out ourselves and get it inspected at a shop and repaired immediately.

2008 PONTIAC G6- Columbia City, IN
Power Steering goes out without warning. I was driving my vehicle and the power steering stopped working, making it extremely difficult to maneuver my vehicle around the many curves on the road I live on at the regulated 30mph speed limit. I parked my vehicle and started it an hour later and the power steering was now working. I have not driven the vehicle for 4 days due to the loss of power steering at any given moment.

2009 PONTIAC G6- villas, NJ
The power steering mechanism stopped working, therefore I cannot turn the wheel. The gear shifter/drive train stopped working, therefore I cannot go into reverse, I am stuck in 3rd gear. It is unsafe because when I go to turn I cannot turn the wheel at times. I have issues braking. All of these issues are recalls on the vehicle. GM states that the recalls were performed seven years ago in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I have no way to verify that information nor any assurances that the parts used weren't faulty. I request new repairs under the recall warnings.

2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX- Kearns , UT
I had just drove about 30 miles home and when I arrived my engine was was smoking a little more than was usual because of oil burn off. So I popped the hood and a fire started in the back of the engine where I was having problems previously with the power steering pump. Obviously when I opened the hood it helped the fire and it grew. Took 30 minutes to put out. Car is now out of commission and I don't know what to do.
