"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.

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.

; I own a 2009 pontiac g6 that within the last week incurred a power steering failure. Recall research shows that on march 2014 the federal safety agency 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 federal safety agency 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 federal safety agency 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.
