| 2008 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I NOTICED A WHILE BACK THAT MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I HAD NOT TURNED THEM OFF BY ACCIDENTALLY TURNING THEM OFF ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I THEN CHECKED ALL MY FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX, INCLUDING THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP FUSE, AND THEY WERE ALL GOOD. TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MANY 2007+ YEAR COBALTS/G5'S HAVE FAULTY WIRING WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS AND THE WIRING WILL MELT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX BECAUSE TO DO IT PROPERLY THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR HAS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED OVER $500 AT THE DEALERSHIP (OUT OF WARRANTY) TO HAVE MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FIXED. $500 TO FIX A SAFETY FEATURE THAT MY CAR CAME AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT APPARENTLY ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO HELP. *TR |
| 2007 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I NEED THIS INVESTIGATED PLEASE !!!!!!!I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G5 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ERRATICALLY. THE RPM WILL JUMP UP WHILE I'M DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT SPEED UP AND RED LINED AND LURCHED INTO THE INTERSECTION. THANK GOD EVERYONE AVOIDED EACH OTHER. IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR !!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING AND I WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY A SEMI !!! I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE HAS FOUND ANYTHING!! THERE WAS A MECHANIC THAT HAD IT CUT UP SOME WHEN HE DROVE IT BUT SAID IT WAS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AND IT IS RANDOM DOING IT. WE HAVE TRIED PUTTING IT IN THE SAME SITUATIONS TO GET IT TO DO IT SO THE MECHANICS CAN SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES,BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK !!!!! I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND WANT SOMETHING DONE !!!!! IF MORE OF THESE CARS ARE DOING THIS SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE !!!! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS INVESTIGATED PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR |
