| 2006 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. TRAFFIC HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND DID NOT NOTICE AND STRUCK MY VEHICLE AT ABOUT 60 MPH. THIS FORCE PUSHED MY VEHICLE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING THEIR SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER STRAP AT THE TIME. DURING THIS INCIDENT, THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH THE MAIN SHAFT CAME FREE OF THE COLUMN AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S LAP WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE STEERING WHEEL. MY MAIN CONCERN WAS THAT, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE DRIVER'S LAP WITH THE SHAFT STICKING STRAIGHT UP, THE DRIVER COULD HAVE BEEN IMPALED WITH THE SHAFT THROUGH THEIR JAW AND UP THROUGH THEIR SKULL IF THE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED AT THAT TIME. I DO HAVE A DIGITAL PICTURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL PLACED LOOSELY BACK INTO THE COLUMN IF YOU NEED TO SEE IT. *JB |
| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I PURCHASED A 08 PONTIAC G6 GT USED WITH AROUND 20,000 MILES. AT 32,000 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY ROTORS. THEY FRONT OF THE CAR WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER AND REQUESTED NEW ROTORS SINCE I AM AWARE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THE ROTORS. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM BUT ONLY TURN THEM. AT 42,000 THEY ARE NOW WARPED AGAIN. I FIRST COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT DONE THE WORK AND THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF LUCK. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SAID THAT I WAS OUT OF LUCK. BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM" WITH THOSE CARS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE OF ALL THE MOUNTAINS. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THE G6/MALIBU/AURA (GM'S EPSILON) CARS. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. *TR |
