SHORTLY AFTER THAT ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. DUE TO LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO DASH, POWER STEERING, ENGINE, AND LIGHTS. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO KEEP VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC AND COAST TO NEAREST EXIT. ONCE I STOPPED THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. TOW TRUCK DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START VEHICLE, BUT VEHICLE SHOWED NO TRANSFER OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD WAS ON AND PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON EVER SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT USED WITH 122K MILES ON IT SO I'M NOT SURE WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST ARRIVED ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) WHEN THE RPM GAUGE DROPPED TO 0 AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO EASE MY WAY ONTO THE SHOULDER BUT WITH NO POWER BREAKS I HAD TO MASH DOWN THE BREAK PETAL FINALLY COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK INTO TOWN AND AM STILL WAITING TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON IT! I HAVE DEALT WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, THE TIMING CHAIN HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY, THE HEADLIGHTS AND BREAK LIGHTS HAVE TO BE CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS JUST ABOUT, AND NOW THIS!

AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE, THE COOLING FANS WOULD ENGAGE. THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN FOR 15-20 MINS REGARDLESS OF ENGINE TEMP OR RUN TIME. THIS WAS THE FIRST INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START DUE TO LACK OF POWER FROM BATTERY. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK RUN ON SYSTEM THAT SHOWED THAT MOST PARTS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD SOME TYPE OF ERROR OR ANOTHER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY DUE TO A BAD CELL AND RE-RAN DIAGNOSTIC. SHOWS THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY WHICH WAS TRIPPING THE REST OF THE ERROR MESSAGES. WOULD THIS BE A FACTORY DEFECT FOR THE COMPUTER?

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE DOORS (WITH THE REMOTE OR KEY THEN LOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVERS DOOR) SOME DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK AND HAVE TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS ONE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE EVER SO OFTEN AND MORE AND MORE THE GAUGES WILL GO CRAZY ALL LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE, POWER STEERING, ANTITHEFT, ETC) WILL ALL GO ON AT ONCE! THIS HAPPENS AS I AM DRIVING IT AND WITHOUT WARNING (ON THE HIGHWAY, OR JUST DRIVING IN THE CITY). THE CAR ACTS AS IF I AM PRESSING THE GAS AND BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME AND I CAN'T STEER THE CAR! THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL AS I KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER CARS THIS IS HAPPENING TO. JUST LOOK ONLINE! THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WHEN I TAKE IT IN AND SOMEONE WILL END UP DYING IF THIS DOESN'T GET RESOLVED. *TR

GM HAS SENT NUMEROUS RECALL LETTERS ABOUT THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G5. I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO PUT IN A REQUEST FOR PARTS. SEEMED ODD THAT I HAD TO REQUEST PARTS FOR A WELL KNOWN SAFETY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP IS JUPITER CHEVROLET AT 11611 LBJ FWY, GARLAND, TX 75041. I PUT IN THIS REQUEST ABOUT 7 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM GM OR JUPITER CHEVROLET ABOUT THE PARTS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP OVER A WEEK AGO AND HAD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. STILL NO RETURN CALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE TO GET MY CAR IN SAFE OPERATING CONDITION. THANKS *TR

2007 PONTIAC G5. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEAT BELT, ENGINE AND OTHER VEHICLE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JULY 30, 2012, THE SEAT BELTS HAD TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO THE CHECK AIR BAGS LIGHT WAS FLASHING. SHE WAS CHARGED $100 FOR A SEAT BELT KIT. ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 OR 30 MPH. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED AND RE-STARTED IT AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR BEHIND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN DECEMBER 2013, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN ONCE AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. THE DEALER CHARGED HER FOR AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR TRUNK, TRUNK OPENER AND THE ELECTRIC START, NEVER WORKED SINCE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, SHE PROBABLY DROPPED THE KEYS AND BROKE SOMETHING INSIDE. HOWEVER, EVERYTHING WORKED UP UNTIL THAT POINT. *JB

I JUST GOT MY CAR YESTERDAY AND I NOTICED THAT I CAN'T HAVE THE KEY ALL THE WAY IN THE IGNITION TO GET IT TO START. THAT SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE TO ME. *JS

THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE!! THIS SHOULD ALL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!! THAT IS ALL YOU HEAR ABOUT ON THE NEWS IS ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THE KEY BEING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. *TR

THIS IS LIKE THE THIRD EMAIL I WRITE IN REGARDS TO THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY IRRESPONSIBLE WITH THE PROBLEM AND RECALLS. WITH BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE SINCE THEY ALREADY MADE US WASTE A DAY TO TELL US THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. WELL LAST SATURDAY (28 JUNE 2014) THE CAR SHUTOFF GOING DOWNHILL THANK GOD SHE MANAGED TO TAKE CONTROL WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. SHE SHOULD GET A CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THEY FIX THE PROBLEM, ITS HER ONLY CAR AND SHE HAS TO GO TO WORK AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN PR IS REALLY BAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V04700 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO DO THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT EXHIBITED THE FAILURE.

MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE NATIONWIDE RECALL OF GM VEHICLES DUE TO A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THE ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES CAME TO LIGHT MONTHS AGO, AND I GOT A RECALL NOTICE THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE RECALL PARTS YET AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED ONCE THEY WERE SENT. AFTER NOT HEARING ANYTHING FOR OVER A MONTH I CALLED THE DEALERSHIPS AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS STILL HAVE NOT BEEN SENT. THIS IS BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE. PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND GM CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE. HOW A SAFETY RECALL COULD BE INITIATED AND PARTS STILL NOT BE AVAILABLE MONTHS LATER IS MIND BOGGLING. IF GM DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR DRIVERS SAFETY HOPEFULLY YOU DO. *TR

I SAW ON THE INTERNET RE-CALLS FOR GM CARS AND FOUND THAT MY PARTICULAR MODEL/YEAR CAR WAS BEING RECALLED. THE MORE READING I DID ON THE SUBJECT I REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING THAT I HAD TO HAVE FIXED ON MY CAR WAS BEING RECALLED. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GETTING MY AIRBAGS, MY STEERING COLUMN, MY BRAKES, MY COMPUTER SENSORS, THE STEERING HARNESS, ETC. FIXED ON THIS CAR ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE HAD BEEN RE-CALLS. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE 'LOCAL DEALERSHIP' TO FIND A 'GOOD USED' STEERING COLUMN FOR MY CAR SINCE MINE IS BREAKING DOWN AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T GET ONE. I ALSO OWN A GMC S-10 IN WHICH THE KEY FITS INTO MY CAR AND TURNS IT ON. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT I KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL RECENTLY AND THAT EVERYTHING I'VE HAD FIXED ON THAT PONTIAC G5 IS NOW BEING RECALLED. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE..ON 1/18/2011 I GOT IN MY CAR WENT TO THE STORE. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE MY VEHICLE. NEXT DAY I STARTED CAR AND BACKED IT OUT SMELLED STRONGER GAS SMELL. PULLED CAR BACK IN GARAGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO GM DEALER. GM DEALER STATED "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE" PAID $200 GOT CAR BACK STILL WREAKS OF STRONG GAS SMELL UPON STARTING (INSIDE THE VEHICLE). I HAVE CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND GM. I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH GETTING THIS VEHICLE REPAIR. BASICALLY THE TWO WARRANTIES AREN'T BEING USED BECAUSE THE GM DEALERS DON'T WANT TO WAIT ON THEIR MONEY AND OTHER PONTIAC G-5'S HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM (SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL) THE FUEL MODULE AND FUEL PUMP ARE TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE I AM GETTING CONFLICTING STATEMENTS ON "MY CAR NOT BEING ON RECALL" AND FINDINGS WHERE THERE IS A RECALL. I AM CONSIDERING GIVING THE CAR BACK AND REQUESTING A FULL REFUND IF THEY ARE NOT BACKING THEIR WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES AND I CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS A FIRE HAZARD/EXPLOSION RISK. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD IF YOU SMELL GAS DON'T DRIVE A VEHICLE. I'M STARTING TO THINK WHEN THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE THEY KNEW THERE WAS SAFETY ISSUES AS I WAS FORCED INTO GAP INSURANCE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT GOOD DID IT DO TO HAVE ALL THESE PROTECTIONS IF NONE OF THEM ARE GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED. THE FIRST THING I DID AFTER SMELLING FUEL WAS LOOK UP ON RECALL INFORMATION.. VEHICLES ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO AND ALABAMA WERE ON RECALL GM STATED "YOUR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED" WHY I AM HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE.? THE RECALL STATES THE FUEL MODULE MAY CRACK AND LEAK GAS WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE/EXPLOSION. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD RECALL I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. FIRST DOOR LOCKS,THEN STEERING PROBLEM, NOW FUEL LEAK.

1. WE OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G5 WITH 17,000 MILES ON IT. THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WE COULDN'T GET IT OUT! WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM (#09-02-35-005B) DATED FEBRUARY 4, 2010. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY (36 MONTH/36,000 MILES EXPIRED ON AUGUST 11, 2010) WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OURSELVES. OUR LOCAL DEALER (NOW THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS) WANTS $45.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT! 2. KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. ONLY OCCURRED ONCE SO FAR. 3. SINCE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WE WERE ABLE TO READ ON LINE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE KEY OUT AND, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY, REPAIR IT OURSELVES. WE ARE SURE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN! *TR

2007 PONTIAC G5. STEERING GAVE OUT TWICE CAUSING NEAR COLLISION BOTH TIMES, BRAKE FAILURE AT TIMES. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES ARE FINE SOMETIMES THEY CANT EVEN SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. DASH LIGHTS, ALL GAUGES, SIGNAL LIGHTS, RADIO, HEATER FAN, REAR DEFROST COMES ON AND GOES OUT RAPIDLY AT TIMES CAUSING INSIDE OF CAR CABIN TO FILL WITH SMOKE. GM CLAIMS THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT NONE OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SAFETY ISSUES. THE CAR HAS ONLY 44000KMS ON IT. THERE WAS 42000 WHEN THESE PROBLEMS STARTED GETTING SERIOUS. THEY SAY THE HAVE THE STEERING PROBLEM FIXED, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR BACK LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW AS IT ENDS UP IN THE GARAGE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. THE CAR DUPLICATED THE PROBLEMS FOR THE MECHANIC AT THE GM DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. THE GAVE THE CAR BACK WITH THE PROBLEMS AND SAID THAT I AM STUCK WITH IT. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT FILLING UP WITH SMOKE THEY SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN GET OUT AND LET IT BURN. EASY FOR THEM TO SAY....IT IS MY FAMILY THAT IS IN THIS CAR INCLUDING TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS. SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF GM'S JUNK THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROAD. ANY HELP IN THESE MATTERS WOULD GREATLY BE APPRECIATED. *TR
