| 2005 | STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM | THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 IS GOING OUT. ITS BEEN HAPPENING DAILY SINCE THE FIRST TIME AND UP TO MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. AND IM JUST CONCERN BECAUSE ITS HAPPEN WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. IT STARTED LIKE A WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING MY FATHER HOME FROM WORK I WAS GOING TO MAKE A TURN INTO MY COMPLEX WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEEL LOCKS UP AND ALMOST MADE ME HIT A PARKED CAR. AT FIRST IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WITHIN THE COMPLEX THEN 2 DAYS AGO IT STARTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ROUND 35 TO 45 MPH. WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE ARE CARS AROUND ME DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. I WENT TO GO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID BUT WHEN LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I REALIZED THERE WAS NO PUMP FOR IT. SO I STARTED DOING WEB SEARCHES FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY CAR. I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL WEBSITE TALKING ABOUT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CARE. THERE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME SITUATION AND HOW MUCH THEY HAD TO PAY. AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL FOR THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND EVEN MORE IF ITS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE. *TR |
| 2009 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I BOUGHT A USED 2009 PONTIAC G6 WITH 90,000 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR A 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS BEFORE I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. IT ALL STARTED MESSAGE SAYING "CHECK YOUR GAS CAP". I WOULD PULL OVER AND CHECK GAS CAP IT WAS VAPORIZED. I OPENED AND RECLOSED THIS WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE IT TAKES 15 MINUTES TO GET TO FROM HOUSE TO TOWN. WITHIN 10 MINUTES MY GAS TANK WOULD WAD UP LIKE A PLASTIC BOTTLE AND WHEN I WOULD TURN CAR OFF AT WORK YOU COULD HEAR IT UN FOLDING. THIS WENT ON FOR 2 DAYS THEN ON THE 2ND TIME MY CHECK ENGINE CAME ON I CALLED AND TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO ME. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CARBON CANISTER IT WAS GOING TO COST 700.00 TO FIX. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO I DROVE FOR A FEW WEEKS LONGER THEN MY CAR WAS DIE WHEN YOU GO TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS OR SLOW DOWN. BOTH TIMES SEMI TRUCKS WERE BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME IT DID I CALLED MY HUSBAND CRYING SAID I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH ME OR MY SON IN IT. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOOK TO THEM TO BE FIXED THIS WAS IN SEPTEMBER. THEY KEPT THE CAR A WEEK CHANGED CARBON FILTER AND FIXED SPEED CABLE THIS WAS MAKING THE CAR DIE. I GOT MY CAR BACK DROVE FROM DEALERSHIP AND STARTED TO DRIVE HOME WHEN I NOTICED CAR STILL NOT FIXED IT WAS SAYING I HAD NO GAS SO PUT GAS IN AND IT SAID I HAD 183 MILES WORTH OF GAS BY THE TIME I GOT HOME I HAD 134 MILES OF GAS LEFT. I HAD CALLED DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT SO IN LESS THEN 24 HOURS TOOK MY CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT A WEEK SAYING GAS TANK NEED TO BE REPLACED SO THEY REPLACED IT AND REPLACED CARBON FILTER AGAIN. NOW THE CAR WORKS FINE JUST WANDERING HOW LONG BEFORE IT ACTS UP AGAIN. I CALLED PONTIAC HEADQUARTERS IN ALL THIS TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY. *TR |
