Clock spring has a disk that is not a uniform desgine due to it splitting and bowing out. Steering wheel sticks when turned either direction and horn is set off as well. The airbag light is also on and would assume that it would not inflate in the event of a frontal collision. Pontiac feels that the disk that should be one solid piece that I believe is two pieces, im responsible for their defective craftsmanship.

At 29,000 miles in 2006 the ignition would not turn. Car towed to authorized pontiac dealer where I was told the ignition cylinder needed to be replaced. The cost for the ignition cylinder was $327.00 I was struck by a utility truck while stopped at a red light in 2013 and the airbag did not deploy. At approximately 58,000 miles the car won't start.again towed to a pontiac dealer. Told I need a new ignition cylinder for a cost of $447.82. Prior to this incident, when the key was turned the security light and airbag light would stay illuminated longer than usual. There has been a clicking sound coming from dashboard and at times while driving on a shifted level road (example: end of a highway ramp , backing out of an uneven driveway) the car has turned off. There has also at times been difficulty turning the steering wheel. Often times it turned easily and other times it wouldn't turn at all. 2015 general motors told me this wasn't passed on for investigation because I didn't provide a photo of the vehicle before the bodywork was done although they received the repair bill. I still don't have a driveable car and am unsure if this car would even be safe to drive.

The dash is peeling and rolling up it has broke all the vents and has pushed the trim around the speedometer/ rim et down and off. My airbag light comes on often and it is a concern for the passenger side airbag that is starting to push up the cover. Starting to have electrical problems due to it pushing pressure on the fuse boxes. I also have it pushing on the door allowing water to run into my car at the fuse box speaker and into my floor. I see this problem in several other vehicles with the dash. These problems are a safety issue and should be addressed and fixed by gmc before a failure to one of these systems and cause injury or death.
