Timing Chain making noise...voltage fluctuations throughout all the car...cruise control will shut off if I got to use wipers or blinkers or even turn on the air system and lights will dim if you use power windows or have the radio up loud.
The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V252000 (Electrical System, Stability Control, Vehicle Speed Control, Electronic Stability Control); however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the transmission gear shifter failed to shift between gears and ceased. The air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. Additionally, the contact stated that the brake stop lights failed to illuminate upon depressing the brake pedal. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
The power steering mechanism stopped working, therefore I cannot turn the wheel. The gear shifter/drive train stopped working, therefore I cannot go into reverse, I am stuck in 3rd gear. It is unsafe because when I go to turn I cannot turn the wheel at times. I have issues braking. All of these issues are recalls on the vehicle. GM states that the recalls were performed seven years ago in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I have no way to verify that information nor any assurances that the parts used weren't faulty. I request new repairs under the recall warnings.
The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that a friend had alerted him that his brake lights remained illuminated while driving. The contact also stated that the brake lights would go out upon the depression of the brake pedal without warning. The contact then placed some dielectric grease on the brake wiring harness which repaired the brake light connection. The contact also stated that the front driver’s side headlight also failed to operate without warning. The contact applied dielectric grease to the wiring harness however, the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V252000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electronic Stability Control). The contact had spoken with the manufacturer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 03/11/2020 AND IT IS SHOWING A ERROR CODE AND THE AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED MOVING, AND NOW IT WON'T CHANGE GEAR'S
1.WHEN DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON IT WILL TURN OFF FOR NO REASON. 2. WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT GETS REALLY WARM AND THE SEAT IS NOT ON. 3. THE TRACTION CONTROLLER COMING ON WHILE DRIVING.
"TAKATA RECALL " I HAVE BEEN HAING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM GOING OUT, HAD IT CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES AND SERVICE PLACE SAID IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO OUT AS THE WIRES ARE MELTED AND BURNT AND WOULD NEED TO BE A REWIRED. I ALSO HAVING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING THE DASH LIGHTS ALL GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON, FEELS LIKE IT LOSES THE POWER STEERING AND THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL BUT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY WHILE DRIVING. DASH LIGHTS, RADIO EVERYTHING GOES OFF, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON BUT NOT INSIDE.
BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING ALSO SPEED CONTROL SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF , NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK WHEN SOMEONE TOLD ME I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHICH I DON'T.
I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WELL, THE DOOR SAYS IT'S A 2009, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES BACK AS A 2010. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SAYS GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 2010'S AS WELL, YET THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS A RECALL ON MY GM VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE JUST ISN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE END OF 2009, SO IT'S CONSIDERED A 2010. THAT IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010. THIS ISN'T SOME SILLY LITTLE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT. THIS IS MY STEERING. I COULD CRASH AND DIE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EXPAND THE RECALL. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS SEEN AND SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS. IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. GM MESSED UP AND SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.
DEAR NHTSA; I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6 THAT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK INCURRED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. RECALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ON MARCH 2014 THE NHTSA REQUIRED GM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT ONLY COVERED THE G6 MODELS UP TO THE YEAR 2009, WHICH MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE "PROBLEM" WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM FOR EARLIER MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE THE 2009 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL, THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FALLS TO THE CONSUMER AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE $1,800 TO $2,000 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIRRORS THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC'S AS EARLIER MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS MATTER AND HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT A LOCAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE CONTACTING ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. WHILE I APPRECIATE GM'S WILLINGNESS TO "CONSIDER" THE MATTER, I URGE THE NHTSA TO RE-VISIT THE MODEL YEARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. FURTHER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
I HAVE REPLACED 6 BULBS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHTS I THOUGHT THEY WERE BLOWN BUT COME TO FIND OUT THEY SHORT BECAUSE THEY ARE MELTING. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING AND THE HEADLIGHT SOCKETS JUST FOR THEM TO MELT AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED CHEVORLET AND GM MOTORS TO SEE WHY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE??? TONIGHT I DROVE DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD (WE'VE HAD A WRECK ON THIS ROAD EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK) IN VERY DANGEROUS FOG AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT THANK GOD ONE OF MY BRIGHTS WORKED AND I HAD A QUICK REACTION GOING 55MPH NOT EVERYONE WILL AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE CHEVORLET & GM MOTORS KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE AS THEY TOLD ME IN OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. THE WIRES TO MY HEADLIGHTS ARE MELTING I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I'M TERRIFIED THEY WILL CATCH ON FIRE AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOW I AM HORRIFIED THAT ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! WE'RE RECALLING TAKATA AIRBAGS (AIRBAGS PROTECT YOU IN A CRASH) BUT NOT HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT? THAT IS PUTTING EVERYONE'S SAFETY AT RISK. WHY ARE WE NOT TRYING TO PREVENT FATALITIES???!!!!
I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WHERE THE POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ALL ATOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. I HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH PICTURES, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO HELP. THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OTHER YEARS OF THE PONTIAC G6. GM WEBSITE SAYS THEY FIX THE PROBLEM ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PICTURE AND VIDEO PROOF MEAN NOTHING IF THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. CODES FLASH ACROSS DISPLAY THAT SAY "CHECK POWER STEERING " "SERVICE TRACTION" "SERVICE ESC". ONLY WAY FOR ME TO CLEAR IS TO SHUT OFF CAR AND TURN BACK ON. ALL PEER STEERING IS LOST WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. ALTHOUGH I'VE LISTED. ONLY ONE DATE, WHICH WAS THE MOST RECENT, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 1/2014, TWICE IN 7/2014, 12/2016 AND IN 3/2017.
A FRIEND FOLLOWING ME 09-21-2016 NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON CONSTANTLY. DRIVING HOME THAT NIGHT I COULD TELL THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON, UNLESS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEY WOULD GO OFF. ALSO CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FOR 09-27-2016. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED CAR WITH A BAD BRAKE SWITCH. CAR WAS REPAIRED AND PICKED UP ON 09-30-2016 (BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED) COST 194.81. DROVE THE CAR ON A 300 MILE TRIP ON 10-13-2016. TRACTION WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO CHECKED ON BRAKE LIGHTS AND NOW THEY STAY CONSTANTLY. TRACTION WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY ALSO NOW.. THE CAR DID GO ON FOR THE RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2014. WE WERE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SERVICE TRACTION AND SERVICE ABS. TRACTION CONTROL, ESC AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. UPDATED 07/12/16*LJ UPDATED 08/03/16.*JB
I WAS DRIVING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY SOMETHING POPPED UP ON MY RADIO SAYING POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC I COULDN'T TURN ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT
MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO BE "FIXED" AND NOW MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE: LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL, MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEAR OUT OF PARK POSITION. THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN OCCURRING IN 2013. GM SHOULD HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THE "FIX" WAS TEMPORARY, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY DUE TO MY BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL NOTICE AND TAKING MY CAR TO BE SERVICED, I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN. IT TURNS OUT THE MECHANICS AT THE GM DEALER JUST CLEANED THE BCM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO IT, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING BEFORE THE RECALL EVEN CAME UP...IT IS INSULTING THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER THIS A "FIX" AND ENDANGER THEIR DRIVERS, WHEN THEY HAD TO KNOW THAT THIS WOULD ONLY HELP TEMPORARILY. IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE BCM NEEDS REPLACED TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS, AS I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER HAVING REPEAT ISSUES AFTER HAVING THE CAR "FIXED" DURING THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS NOW ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (LOSS OF POWER STEERING FIRST OCCURRED THIS YEAR), AND MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE BRAND NEW (THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS NOW). WHEN I SMACK THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY COME BACK ON. I SEE THAT OTHER DRIVERS ARE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR POWER STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS, AS WELL AS WITH THE BCM. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NOT PROVIDED A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUES, AND I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR.
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE ISSUE OF THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON IN MY CAR, WHICH WILL CAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK, AND, MY BREAK LIGHTS TO EITHER STAY ON ALL THE TIME, STAY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING, SHUT OFF WHILE I BREAK, OR, JUST NOT COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE AT THE BCM MODULE CLEANED 3 TIMES, THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. I HAVE COMPLETED THE RECALL THE GM FINALLY DID, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE EITHER. I FINALLY TODAY HAD TO GET MY ENTIRE BCM MODULE REPLACED, AND A VERY HIGH COST! I THINK THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THESE ENTIRELY, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO FIX THE "RECALL" IS NOT WORKING!
LIGHTS ON THE CAR STARTING COMING ON THE AIR BAG LIGHTS STAY ON NOW AND WILL NOT GO OFF .THE HEATER IN THE SEATS ALSO STOPPED WORKING .AND NOW WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEELS THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND .I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CV AXLES REPLACED ,AND IT DID NO GOOD .IT CONTINUES TO MAKE THE GRINDING SOUNDS WHEN I TURN ,AND ITS HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT TIMES IT LOCKS UP .THE ELECTRIC SYSTEMS SEEMS TO ACT STRANGE WITH LIGHTS BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD SOMETIMES .MANY TIMES I HAVE TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR AND HAVE HAD THE STARTER CHECKED OUT AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM ,WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL THE LIGHTS START FLASHING .ONCE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS AT A SPEED AROUND 45 MILES AN HOUR AND MY CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS. *TR
ON 4/7/15, WHILE DRIVING HEARD CHIMES. ALL ICONS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED ON. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE MOVED TO EMPTY. THE LOW FUEL GAUGE TURNED ON. ALL THIS INDICATING MALFUNCTION. THE ODOMETER TURNED OFF AND THE CODE ERROR CAME ON AND TURNED OFF; THEN THE ODOMETER CAME BACK ON. ALL THE ICONS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR THE SECURITY LIGHT ICON WHICH STAYED ON. IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE WAS ATTEMPTING TO DISABLE MY VEHICLE. LATER THAT DAY TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL, LIKE IT RESET ITSELF. ON 4/8/15, AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SECURITY LIGHT ICON TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS INCONCLUSIVE, THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SO NOT ONLY WAS I PUT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, THIS END UP COSTING ME $140.00 JUST TO TELL ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING - NOT ONLY AM I IN THE HOLE FOR $140 BUT I AM BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I FEEL GM SHOULD FOOT THIS BILL AS A CUSTOMER COURTESY DUE TO THE PREDICAMENT THIS VEHICLE PUT ME IN. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE THAT IS 6 YEARS OLD AND 80,000 MILES. *TR

SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 ; GM RECALL NOTICE 13036 DATED JULY 2014. I'VE BEEN IN TWO NEAR REAR END COLLISIONS DUE TO BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE; I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE & TOLD THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING LIT WHILE DRIVING AND THEN I WAS PULLED OVER AGAIN & TOLD THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT LIT UP WHEN I BRAKING. I WAS ABLE TO SHOW BOTH OFFICERS THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED FROM GM & I WAS ADVISED TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED IMMEDIATELY AS I WAS PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF POSSIBLE ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENABLED AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN I BRAKE NOR DISENGAGE WHEN I PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON. I HAD TO CYCLE THE KEY OFF/ON IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. OTHER TIMES, THE CRUISE WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN ON/OFF BUTTON IS PRESSED. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, ALSO E.S.C. ISN'T WORKING AS IT SHOULD, NOR THE PANIC BRAKE ASSIST FEATURES. LIGHTS FOR E.S.C. TCS RANDOMLY FLASH AND FLICKER. ALL THESE ARE INDICATIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE GM RECALL NOTICE 13036. AS STATED BEFORE, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO COLLISIONS AND BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE. CONTACTED GM FIVE TIMES - CASE #[XXX] ON FILE. GM STATED THAT MY CAR MUST BE SERVICED BY LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT WILL NOT COVER COSTS. THE LOCAL DEALER WANTS DIAGNOSTIC FEES UP FRONT, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. GM HASN'T NOTIFIED DEALERSHIPS OF THE RECALL 13036 TO DATE. DO I NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, HARMING MYSELF AND OTHERS, BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED BY GM? DOES THERE HAVE TO BE LOSS OF LIFE TO GET GM TO FIX THE KNOWN ISSUES OUTLINED IN RECALL 13036? HOW CAN I RELY ON SAFE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THIS IS FIXED? IN CLOSING, I SEEK ASSISTANCE IN ADDRESSING THE BLATANT DISREGARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY THAT GM HAS SHOWN TO ME AND OTHER CUSTOMERS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY CAR FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. HELP!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ONTO RT 46 HERE IN AUSTINTOWN, OHIO WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE LOST STEERING. SHE HAD NOT REACHED THE SPEED LIMIT OF 40MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. SHE MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE OF THE ROAD AND INTO A GAS STATION LOT GOING UP OVER A CURB PARKED IT AND THEN CALLED ME TO COME AND GET HER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING. I THEN CALLED PONTIAC'S CUSTOMERS SERVICES AND TO NO PREVAIL GOT ANY SATISFACTION. I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH SPITZER AUTOWORLD HERE IN LORDSTOWN, OHIO FOR FRIDAY AUG 1ST.,HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED OVER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. I SEE THAT GM HAS RECALLS FOR STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE SAME YEAR ,MAKE AND MODEL BUT MY VIN# DOESNOT FALL IN THIS RECALL. SO AS OF MONDAY AUG 1ST I WILL BE BACK ON THE PHONE WITH PONTIAC. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 08/11/14*LJ
WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS GAGE AND MPH NEEDLES DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE CAR COULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO AN "ERROR" NOTICE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. IT LASTED FOR A FRACTION OF SECOND BUT KEPT DOING IT ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. I REALIZED THE THEFT PROTECTION LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER STARTNG THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I WENT OUT YESTERDAY THE THEFT PROTECTION LIGHT WAS NOT ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. IT CAME ON SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE GAS GAGE TO WORK. IT IS LASTING LONGER NOW ALSO. I ALSO NOTICED THE TRACTION CONTROL WORDS SHOWED UP ON THE DASH BOARD THIS LAST TIME. CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY. I DID READ THE MANUAL AND CHECKED THE FUSE AS RECOMMENDED. THE FUSE LOOKS FINE AND FOR ONE WHOLE DAY AFTER REMOVING AND REPLACING THE FUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT THE NEXT TIME I DROVE, IT WAS MUCH WORSE AS I MENTIONED ABOVE. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
