The electrical harness going to the drivers door doesn't function properly in any way shape or form. My locks blow a fuse every time you hit the button my trunk pop works with my key fob but not the actual button. My passenger window only goes down if you open the door completely but then only goes up with the pass. Switch and my car radio stays on even if I shut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car... Me not being able to get windows down or trunk open in an emergency is extremely dangerous and unsafe in every way and so is the door locks not functioning properly.... I demand a safety recall be issued on the wiring harness immediately....

I was driving at 70 MPH on northbound I-75 when I heard what sounded like an explosion and realized that the glass from my sunroof was in my lap. I realize glass can break but it shouldn't be in my lap at 70 MPH! I was lucky to have kept my composure, safely exited the highway and drove straight to the dealership.

One day my rear doors wouldn't unlock or lock, when this happens have to have someone climb into the back seat from the front seat to unlock. When you lock the doors u must check to see if they locked, there are days the looks work but most days they do not work. I feel this would be a safety issue if ever in an accident.

I own a 4 door sedan g6 with power door locks - the left rear power door lock has quit causing me to have to reach across the seat to lock / unlock the door = not ideal in case of an accident. My intermediate steering shaft is clicking and grinding inside the column and the headlight wiring harness continues to melt causing the headlight to go dim = all of these safety and fire hazards need recall.
