THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. THEY ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I STOP WHICH HAS ALOMST GOTTEN ME REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT CANNOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO IMPORPER WIRING AND IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE ONLY TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT GO BELOW 3RD AND IS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING CAUSING ACCELERATING PROBLEMS, WHEN DRIVING IN GENERAL, AND AM UNABLE TO KEEP A PROPER AMOUNT OF GAS BECAUSE ITS BURING THROUGH DUE TO THIS. I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE BREAKS AND HEADLIGHT ARE ALWAYS A PROBLEM WHETER DRIVING OR IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY!

I HAVE HAD MY G6 PONTIAC FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE LAST 2 WEEKS FINDING OUT ALL THE MONEY I SPENT ON THE CAR IS NOTHING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTER REFUSES TO FIX THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY THAT THEY ADVERTISE AS FREE WITHIN THE RECALL AFTER MY LOCAL GMC MECHANIC AT DONOVAN AUTO HAS TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOW SAYS I NEED $400 FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR THATS THE PART MESSING UP THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY IS THE PART THE NHTSA AND GM ADVERTISES CAN BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE THEN HOW ON A MOTOR VEHICLE DEFECT IS CUSTOMER CHARGED MAINTENANCE THEY ADVERTISE IN THE RECALL AS FREE NOW I AM COMPLETLY WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND CANT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WITH THESE G6 PONTIACS WITH THE STEERING RECALL. WILL ALSO BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION HAVE PUT 10 GRAND INTO THIS VEHICLE AND WAS PROMISED IT WAS SAFE AND HAD LONGEVITY ONLY HAD IT 3 YEARS AND NOW BECAUSE OF THE RECALL THEY CANT EVEN FIX IT I HAVE NO CAR AND NOW WILL LOSE MY JOB MY CREDIT AND MY WHOLE LIFE IS COMPLETLY REVOLVING AROUND THE CAR GOING TO PAY WITH MY LIFE TO OWN A CAR THAT KILLS ME.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN MY CAR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER AND HAVE MAINTAINED IT PROPERLY. THE CAR HAS A LITTLE UNDER 67,000 MILES AND OCCASIONALLY LOSES POWER. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I CAN NOT WITH 100 PERCENT CERTAINTY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC KNOWING THAT IT WILL ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS THE ISSUE AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY CLAIM THAT SOME PONTIAC G6 MODELS (BASED ON VIN) HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THAT MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. I HAVE LOOKED UP RELATED CASES AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I LOVE MY CAR AND IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, UNTIL NOW. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE, ANYONE WITH SOME AUTHORITY IS READING THIS. I HOPE THAT THAT PERSON DOES SOME INVESTIGATING AND REALIZES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT ISOLATED AND SHOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, BUT AM FORCED TO AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. I HAVE STOPPED USING THE FREEWAY FOR SAFETY REASONS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

I DRIVE SLOW BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN STOP IF I HAVE TO. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP. PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE THE CODES THAT WERE COMING UP CONTRADICTS WHAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DOING. THE MECHANIC SAID I MAY NEED A COMPUTER BUT I MAY HE REALLY DID NOT HAVE A DEFINITELY ANSWER ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY (VIN) BUT I BELIEVE THEIR SHOULD BE.
