I bought this car from a dealership called drive now in lebanon tennessee. About 2 miles after signing and trading my vehicle for this one the ESC, tc off, check engine, low tire pressure sensor lights all came on on the dash. I took it to them 4 different times now and they stated to me it's an electrical problem and they claimed to have fixed it!! A month later it all began again. It starts with the driver side headlight going out then the passenger side headlight goes out and then all the lights come back on again. This time however once I replaced the light on the drivers side I noticed it had melted inside the wires. I drive home and seen the car was smoking from under the hood amd the battery cables were blazing with fire. Luckily I had a gallon of water that I put the fire out with. I am terrified to drive it and the dealership told me they are no longer liable to fix it because it was only their problem for the first two weeks. So now I have a car payment on a car that caught fire over their electrical engineering. What do I do to get this correctly fixed

My biggest concern is the power steering. When I start the car, it only works about 50% of the time. I have to turn he ignition off and restart the car 3-4 times to get it to work properly. If it goes out while I'm driving, I could easily get hurt or hurt someone else. My seat belt sensor doesn't work. It beeps and dings at me while I'm driving, very distracting...makes me jump when I'm concentrating on the road. I had to replace the same headlight 3-4 times in 3 months. The harness was all melted when the mechanic got it out. Not only is it illegal for me to drive without all lights working but it's dangerous. Also, I received a letter about my brake lights...that they may not light while braking, or illuminate while I'm not braking. It said not to take it to be fixed if there was no problem. Can someone please tell me how I can possibly know there's a problem before someone rear ends me?

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???!!!!

"takata recall" I bought my car from james corlew and was coming home parked it. Next day I went outside to take it to the car wash going down a hill and when I turned my wheel my car jumped all the lights and speedometer went off the radio flickered and and out and my car died mid driving down a hill I turned into the gas station down my hill and put it in park and turned it and to the off position. And started it back up and it came on fine I took it back to my dealer and told him what was wrong with me and he just told me that it had an electrical jumpstart where it had been sitting for a long time. I week passes and I'm going to work park it. I get off and it's 9 o'clock and I'm turning onto a highway I pulled out and my car jumped again but it didn't shut off the power staring warning came on on my radio and the steering went out . I drove to the nearest gas station and put it in park and turned it off sat there for less than a minute and turned it back on and it was fine. It did it two more times while I was driving to school. I was tired of it happening so I took it back to my car lot and ask them if it had any recalls on it they told me no it only had one on the back taillight and the gearshift. So they acted like they couldn't do anything and I only had the car for two months now it's steering easy to the right but steering hard to the left. And they say there's no recall on it but I looked up online that 2009 g6 has recalls on it about the power steering but I haven't got no paper and the mail from gm I'm not paying for their mistakes. If I get into a wreck over it somebody will get sued. Because I let james corlew no three times and they all told me it was nothing. There was one previous owner so if it had a recall on it could the paper have went to them on accident?

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 pontiac g6. While driving 20 MPH, the steering wheel jerked and the vehicle turned to the left independently. In addition, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the contact had to apply force to the steering wheel in order to steer the vehicle. All the lights on the instrument panel illuminated and the power steering message chimed and displayed. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v153000 (steering). The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was repaired under the recall, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was unable to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

November 6 2014 I purchased a 2008 pontiac g6 I had a scheduled visit to repair a cracked gauge cluster, a seat repair and repair of my adjustable pedals while on the way to the dealer for repairs I noticed a hesitation in my transmission when shifting from 1st to 2nd. I notified the service writer of that happening and she said they would look into it. I was given a 3 month 3000 mile warranty that said nothing about who would pay for any repairs. It was in service at least a week. They call and say it.s ready and I pick it up it drives fine for 8 days and the electronics stop working all the warning lights are on ABS, traction control the odometer read the word error and my transmission wouldn't shift right. I drove it right back and they took it in for repair. This time they have it for 2 weeks ( I have the paperwork to prove this ). They finally call and tell me it's ready I pick it up no charge again and it drives fine for 4 days.same electronic problem happens again.and now it won't start. I have it towed in they have it for another 6 day. They call say it's fixed I pick it up it drives fine for a couple days and it again all warning lights on won't shift right traction control not working and the odometer reads error again. This time I don't shut it off and drive it right there I could not afford another tow charge I'm on a fixed income. They have it for another 10 days. They call me tell me it's fixed for the 5th time I go pick it up 6 days later the transmission is slipping I bring it in they tell me it needs a rebuild far $2357.00 and because it is a different problem I have to pay half of the price. I was told by a sae certified master mechanic that multiple computer failures may have prematurely cause the internal hard parts of the transmission to fail it has 60,820 miles on it well under gm mileage warranty. Called gm they side with the dealer
