I have just received my fourth recall notice only on my 2007 pontiac g-6. I have twice spoken with someone about the importance of this matter, and when they thought it may be fixed. I have concerns on this as the car does have to be used on a daily basis, and occasional 350 mile round trip. I am not very dissatisfied with the way this is being handled,I do not want to see another notice of the recall,I want it fixed !!! I would think this time frame should not have to go by when a safety issue is at risk. Safety recall#14152 and 13036 I plan to report this issue to whom it concerns.

Upon accelerating at speeds above 50mph, my traction control indicator will come on, sometimes saying traction off, and sometimes saying to service traction. It will sometimes stay on and make my car jerk around a lot while it's shifting gears. If it doesn't go away shortly after it came on, it will go away once I leave my car turned off for a while. It happens so randomly, and sometimes will be months between episodes, that when I've taken it to have it looked at, they can't get it to happen.

"transmission shifter cable; brake lights, air bag passenger side, ignition" shifter intermittently hangs up when shifting. Called dealership first was told they had no recall for that VIN number, that nothing was on file. Then when I read him the notice I received today he said that I was to wait until they had parts. I felt uncomfortable driving this car and asked for a loaner. I was told there was nothing he could do. (service dept.) called pontiac cs. 800 762 2737 I was told after explaining my problem that it was the dealerships discretion as to whether to provide a loaner. She talked to dealership, came back and then asked me how many mi was on car. 82k then she talked to dealer again and she comes back and tells me they need to check it and provide me with an estimate for repairs then I am to call the pontiac customer serv back with the estimate. ???????? So I am still driving a car that I don't feel comfortable with because they need an itemized bill of repair? Is this the process for a recall? I definitely will not take it to "that dealership" for an inspection as now I do not trust them as their computers had no recalls or repair reports for my car at all.. Recall no. 14152 transmission cable I was provided with a case no. And told to call pontiac cs back. P.s. So is this part of the ignition switch and brake lights intermittently coming on while driving down the road also I am confused?????

I was on may way home from work, the check engine light came on and has remained on, and the transmission all of the sudden wouldn't go in any gear, I couldn't go over 20 MPH, I had to pull over turn off the car wait turn it back on put it in drive, then if I would have to stop at a light or stop sign I would give it gas & it wouldn't go, again I had to turn the car off put it in park, then wait turn it on & put it in drive, also if I tried to put the car in reverse it would not go, this caused almost several times of me being "rear ended" even with my hazard lights on. I took it to my mechanic & he said it was caused from the recall (transmission recall) gm had it towed to a dealership, all they keep saying is there is no recall on my car. They said the government puts the VIN #'s on for recall, so my question is, how does my car or any car get put on the recall list? When clearly my car is doing exactly what the recall states? Gm states that the government is the one to put the "VIN" on the recall list.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing failures identical to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000: (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). While driving various speeds, the brake lights would illuminate and, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights would dim. Additionally, it was difficult to shift the gear out of park. While driving various speeds, the cruise control would disengage. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic for diagnostic testing, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 85,000.
My 2007 pontiac g6 was no longer able to shift between gears as I attempted to park. Once the shifter was moved to the park position and my foot released the brake, the car continued to roll. Upon inspection, it became known that the shifter cable linkage was fractured. I found there was an open recall by gm on pontiac g6 vehicles manufactured from may 26, 2004 to september 28,2007 (model year 2005-2008 vehicles). The recall (recall 14152) contains the wording "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". This is the exact symptom which struck my vehicle. Upon contacting gm about this recall, I was told the VIN number of my vehicle isn't included in their predetermined lot of cars they believe to be affected. The fact that my vehicle exhibits the exact issue that gm openly admits to be a problem for vehicles they produced within the year range mine was manufactured, should be cause enough for them to accept responsibility for this issue. This issue is a design flaw which is agitated by the choice of materials used in this specific force application. This isn't a problem that can be isolated to certain vehicles based of the assembly process of select plants. The general engineering design approved and released by gm, or their supplier, was flawed. I find it unacceptable that I am forced to pay out of pocket for a fix relating to a design flaw that gm is trying to selectively downplay. An installation issue could be understandably focused on a specific assembly plant, but a component failure by breakage or fracturing is an obvious mis-application of a poor design.
I used to work late nights, and while driving home one night I noticed my brake lights were really bright. When I pushed the brake pedal down my brake lights would turn off. I also have problems pulling my car from park to reverse or drive. It makes me really nervous to drive and it seems as though it just keeps getting worse. I don't know what to do or even how to fix it. I really can't find anybody who knows how to fix it. Everything I've looked up is just a temporary fix. It's just extremely frustrating, and I really don't want to end up with a huge ticket or getting into an accident because of it.
Tl * the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle began to roll away while it was secured in park. The contact had to place objects under the tires to prevent the vehicle from moving. The dealer stated that the shift cable had failed. The VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v224000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 90,000.
When the car is in park it can be easily "moved". If you push on the car slightly is moves forward or backward approx. 3-4 inches in either direction. It also seems to slip into gear when accelerating at approx. 30 MPH causing a jerking motion.
The ignition switch on my 2007 pontiac g6 is not operating properly. If I do not warm up my vehicle, the key cannot be taken out of the ignition switch while in park position. Sometimes after warning up, the key is hard to come out the ignition.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the transmission failed to shift into gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 100,000.
When I put the car in park, the car would still move. When I put the car in park on a small incline, the car rolled backwards down the incline/hill. The gear shift did not recognize the park gear. It reacted like the car was in neutral. On 10-06-2011, I paid $251.44 to the have the "trans shift cable" replaced, & that fixed the problem.
Two weeks ago, it became increasingly more difficult to remove my key from the ignition after putting my key into park. At times, it may take up to 5 minutes to remove my key. Within a week, I noticed that it was becoming more difficult to shift from park to reverse. Last sunday, (june 1, 2014) I was at the grocery store, shifted into reverse, then drive. When I put my foot on the gas, it was as if it was in neutral. I had to drive the car home in the manual setting. My husband then test drove the car and noticed the same things. He added that when in drive, it was as if the car was in neutral and it would actually move backwards if on a slanted road or street. My husband drove my car into bradshaw motors, wade hampton, greer, sc the next day, monday, june 2, 2014. They said we need a brand new transmission. With only 50,000 miles on my car, (which I bought new) I became very upset and began to investigate recalls. I found a recall #14v224000 on the www.pontiacproblems,com/recalls/g6/2007 website. I called the 1-800 number and have been getting the run around on the phone sense.
Cooling fans fuses replaced because it was running hot. It started running hot a few years later and wiring to the cooling fans had to be fixed. Check engine light then came on and wouldn't go off and engine module was replaced. Check engine light came back on immediately, power steering randomly stopped working but came back, power seats stopped working randomly but started to work again, radio wouldn't go off after taking out the key and opening the door, and now the car will only go in reverse and drive in the manual mode. I'm never buying another gm vehicle!
Since last year, let's say in spring, I had problems shifting out of park. Doesn't do it every time. Later I noticed that my brakelights are always illuminated. Will not change if the brake is pushed. But if I push hard enough on them they turn off all together. When pressed on the brake again they do not light up at all. So after a few seconds the lights all come back on when I am not pressing on the brake. Back to the beginning. Also my cruise control turns off when I'm using it. Sometimes my lights go in and out of climate controls. Now I called gm about the recall on my make/model/year and gave her my VIN number. She said I am not currently included on the recall. How is that possible? I need this fixed before I get a ticket or get into an accident!
When pulling into a parking lot after an hour long drive, my pontiac g6 gt hardtop convertible made a loud pop and then filled with smoke and flames shot out of the hood. Prior to that there was a pop and liquids spilled onto the ground. I jumped out of my car and ran to alert a nearby police officer. We got back to the car in less than a minute and he was able to extinguish the flames. The local fire department was also alerted and they arrived to check the fire. When it was repaired the technician said that it had something to do with transmission, or some fluid, igniting.
