FOR AWHILE NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SO I HAD A FULL DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION DONE THAT READ NOTHING. AS A RESULT, I HAD THEM DO A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING SINCE THERE IS A SMALL JERKY FEEL EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I ALSO HAD THEM DO A BREAK FLUID EXCHANGE BUT THE NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL BLINKS. ALONG WITH THAT, MOST TIMES AFTER FUELING UP MY CAR, MY CAR DRIVES WELL AND JUST FINE BUT ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, AFTER FUELING UP, I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC PROCEEDING TO THE FARTHEST LANE SO THAT I CAN TURN LEFT INTO MY APARTMENTS THEN POP! AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE GEAR HAD LOCKED IN DRIVE. THIS SCARED ME SO BAD SO I BRAKED IN EVERY WAY I COULD HOPING I WOULDN'T CRASH THEN TRIED SHIFTING GEARS AND CRANKING MY CAR AGAIN. I GOT INTO THE GATES AND INTO THE PARKING LOT THEN MY CAR STALLED AND CUT OFF AGAIN. I FINALLY PARKED MY CAR, POPPED THE HOOD, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT I COULD SEE FROM MY VIEW. SO, THE NEXT DAY SEPTEMBER 19TH I DROVE TO CLASS THAT MORNING AND IT STALLED A BIT ANY TIME I INCREASED MY SPEED AS IF IT WANTED TO CUT OFF. I GOT INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY COLLEGE AND IT CUTS OFF AS SOON AS I BEGIN TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT BETWEEN TWO CARS. I CRANK IT UP, COMPLETE MY PARK THEN I GO INSIDE FOR CLASS UNTIL LUNCH. ON LUNCH, I CRANK UP MY CAR AND WOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FINALLY OFF BUT AS USUAL THE NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING. I TEST DRIVE MY CAR TO THE LOCAL WINN DIXIE AND BACK AND ON THE WAY BACK POP! THEN IT STALLS TO CUT OFF BUT DOESN'T CUT OFF SO I TAKE IT BACK TO MY COLLEGE BEFORE LUNCH IS OVER AND PARK IT. NOW IT'S THE END OF THE DAY AND I'M OUT OF CLASS AND HEADED HOME. THIS TIME I MAKE IT INTO THE GATE BUT I'M GETTING CLOSE TO GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AND POP! IT DOESN'T CUT OFF BUT IT'S STALLS BADLY LIKE IT WANTS TOO SO I PROCEED TO DRIVE THEN PARK IT. PLEASE, HELP.

REPLACEMENT PART (CABLE KIT # 23238001) UNDER RECALL 14152 HAS SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED AND AS A RESULT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE ORIGINAL SAFETY CONCERN WHICH STATES, "IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION MAY NOT MATCH THE INDICATED GEAR AND THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE IN AN UNINTENDED OR UNEXPECTED DIRECTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE DRIVER GOES TO STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE, DESPITE SELECTING THE 'PARK' POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT BE IN 'PARK.' IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE "PARK" POSITION THERE IS A RISK THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY AS THE DRIVER AND OTHER OCCUPANTS EXIT THE VEHICLE OR ANYTIME THEREAFTER. A VEHICLE ROLLAWAY INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO EXITING OCCUPANTS AND BYSTANDERS." THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO A FAILURE OF A RETAINING RING AT THE ENGINE END OF THE CABLE LINKAGE THAT IS TO SECURELY ATTACH TO A POST ON THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE FORTUNATELY WAS ON LEVEL GROUND AND STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY. VEHICLE WOULD START NORMALLY BUT COULD NOT BE PUT IN GEAR DUE TO THE ISSUE. REQUESTED DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE UNDER THE RECALL BUT DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE SINCE IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE.

I COULD NOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK THE FIRST TIME I TRIED BECAUSE THE BUTTON WOULDN'T PRESS DOWN. I PRESSED THE BREAK HARDER AND THE BREAK HAD A WEIRD MOVING/VIBRATING FEEL, BUT THE BUTTON EVENTUALLY PRESSED DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO DRIVE. I KNOW I GOT IT TO DRIVE, BUT AFRAID OTHER THINGS MIGHT BE AFFECTED.

THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR TRANSMISSION CABLE THAT CAUSED MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SHIFTER TO NOT PROPERLY STAY IN GEAR. MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT THE RECALL WAS FIXED ANYWAYS. A YEAR AND HALF AFTER RECALL WAS FIXED THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY HAPPENED DESPITE SO CALLED BEING "FIXED". I CALLED GM TO REPORT THIS AND THEY STATED THEY COULD ONLY DO SOMETHING A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL SO I AM 6 MONTHS OUT OF THIS. EITHER THEIR FIX DIDN'T WORK OR THEIR FIXED CAUSED THE PROBLEM. EITHER WAY MY CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE AND I'M BEING FORCED TO FIX THIS OUT OF POCKET. I'M HOPING YOU CAN POSSIBLY HELP GET GM TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CAN GET THE COPIES OF RECALL AND IT ACTUALLY BEING FIXED IF NECESSARY. HOW THE PROBLEM HAPPENED: CAR WAS PARKED IN PARK POSITION AT A PARKING LOT. ONCE STARTED, AND FOOT APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL, TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD FREELY MOVE INSTEAD OF SHIFTING PROPERLY. IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN PARKED. THANK YOU. THE CAR IS 2007 PONTIAC G6 [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD CAR IN FOR RECALL OF SHIFT CABLE IN 2014. ON AUGUST 4 2016 I WENT TO PARK CAR AND THERE WERE NO GEARS, CAR ROLLED INTO A FENCE BEFORE I COULD GET IT STOPPED. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT CAR. HE FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG, WHICH IS PART OF SHIFT CABLE THAT WAS RECALLED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE WAS NOT REPLACED AS THE PARTS ARE ORIGINAL. I HAVE PICTURES OF ORIGINAL PART ON MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE SHIFT CABLE TO BE REPLACED PROPERLY BUT HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH ANY DEALERS, INCLUDING THE DEALER WHO SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PART IN 2014. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE TO FIX PART ON MY OWN. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH A LAWYER TO SUE THE DEALER AND GM IF CAR IS NOT FIXED. THANK YOU

I HAD A RECALL FIXED (I THOUGHT) IN OCTOBER 2014 WITH THE TRANSMISSION CABLE AND BRACKET. ON APRIL 11TH 2016 THIS ITEM FAILED ON MY CAR. I'VE OWNED THIS 2007 G6 FOR 7 YEARS PRIOR TO THE RECALL WITH NO ISSUES. I CALLED THE DEALER TO PURCHASE THE CONNECTER THAT BROKE AND LEFT MY CAR IN REVERSE AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT TURNING MY WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THEY SAY I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE CABLE THEY REPLACED JUST ONE YEAR AND 6 MONTHS AGO. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT MADE THE RECALL REPAIR AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR. IN MY OPINION THEIR FIX IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. I CAN DRIVE IT FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS WITH NO ISSUES, BUT THE "FIX" IS ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR AND A HALF? I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AT A RESTAURANT AFTER TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SUPPER. I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN DRIVE THEN WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND APPLIED THE GAS MY CAR STAYED IN REVERSE ALMOST HITTING THE PEDESTRIAN THAT WALKED BEHIND MY CAR WALKING TO THEIR CAR. I COULD NOT PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL WITH TRAFFIC PULLING INTO THE RESTAURANT. I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT BACK INTO THE PARKING SPOT. MY CAR ALMOST RAN OVER ME BECAUSE IT WAS LOCKED IN REVERSE. I ENDED UP LETTING THE CARS PASS ME THAT WERE TRYING TO TURN IN TO GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU. I HAD TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND INTO THE STREET IN REVERSE AND BACK IT INTO THE EXIT OF THE RESTAURANT AND PARK MY CAR IN A SPOT ON THE OTHER SIDE TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND BACK OUT OF THE STREET. I FEEL THE "RECALL FIX" IS MORE DANGEROUS AND NOT A FIX AT ALL. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN TALK TO ME ABOUT THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OVER ONE YEAR SINCE THE RECALL REPLACEMENT PART WAS INSTALLED. I FEEL GM HAS ENGINEERED MORE DANGER INTO THIS AND NOT FIXING A PROBLEM, BUT CREATING REVENUE FOR THEM IN MORE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SERVICE CHARGES.

THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING ENGINE OIL AND GAS FROM THE BEGINNING AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE, FEEDBACK. ALL I HAVE BEEN GIVEN WAS A CONSTANT REPAIR LIST MOST OF WICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME FROM THE BEGINNING THAT MY ENGINE IS LEAKING POSSIBLE GASKETS AND LEAK SOMEWHERE IN FUEL PUMP. RHODES AUTO SALES AS WELL AS GM HAS GIVEN ME A RUN FOR MY LIFE. UNTIL RECENTLY HAVE A FRIEND GAVE ME A CARFAX ON THIS CAR THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD AND BEING TOLD HOW DANGEROUS IT'S BEEN FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT PURCHASE DATE BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING.

A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH I HAD REPLACED THROUGH RECALL ON 12/31/14 HOWEVER 1 YEAR AND 25 DAYS LATER THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY DID EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO FIX. I WENT TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND THE GEAR SHIFT SLID EASILY INTO PARK BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING, NOT RECOGNIZING THE GEAR WAS PLACED IN PARK. UPON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AS IF IT WAS IN GEAR. THE SHIFT SLIDES EASILY FROM PARK ALL THE WAY DOWN, NOT RECOGNIZING THE GEARS. THE PROBLEM REMAINS THAT ONCE THE RECALL WAS FIXED AND A YEAR PAST THEN THE HONORING OF FIXING THE PROBLEM IS NOT DONE.
