2008 PONTIAC G6 Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that after the vehicle was serviced for the recall of NHTSA Campaign Number:14V224000: (Power Train), the transmission shift cable failed causing the vehicle to roll back and hit the contact. During the incident, the contact sustained a severe abdominal injury and a fractured left knee. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who replaced the shift cable for a second time. The contact indicated that the shift cable recently had failed again. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.

No SE lights on dash. Shudder shifts intermittently between all gears both in automatic and manual driving mode. No shops have been able to diagnose what the actual problem is. Huge safety risk as there is no telling when it will actually happen and “stall” the car out in traffic when shifting. In searching the internet this is a common problem for 5+ years and there has not been a solution identified by GM.

The shifter is not going into the correct gear. This year vehicle has had (2) different recalls for this issue.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD ITS A AUTOMATIC,CANT DRIVE IN SNOW OR WHEN WET IT SLIDES FRONT END OFF ROAD DO TO SHIFTING.ABS ALERT STAYS ON ALL TIMES AND HAS BEEN TO SHOP.

POWER STEERING DISENGAGES ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ONLY WAY TO REENGAGE IT IS TO TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT REENGAGES BUT OCCASIONALLY IT STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE. IF I ALSO LIGHTLY PULL ON THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE AND SHAKE WHILE STOPPED AND DRIVING. MY POSITION SWITCH ON THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE TO NOT START EVERY SO OFTEN AS WELL. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SOMETIMES TO RESTART MY CAR.

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR TONIGHT. HE CALLED ME FROM HIS FRIENDS HOUSE AND SAID THAT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, CAR WAS OFF, BUT COULDN'T REMOVE IGNITION KEY. I GOT THERE, CAR WAS PARKED IN FRIENDS DRIVEWAY, I STARTED THE CAR, WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER, EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T FEEL IT SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR. I THEN SHIFTED IT INTO WHAT I "ASSUMED" WAS PARK, SHUT CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, AND CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I APPLIED THE E-BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. I WENT AHEAD AND ROLLED IT BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVE SINCE I KNEW IT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE FRONT END. I HAD TO BACK MY OTHER CAR UP TO IT, BUMPER TO BUMPER TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.

Mileage: 166,000

THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. THEY ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I STOP WHICH HAS ALOMST GOTTEN ME REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT CANNOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO IMPORPER WIRING AND IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE ONLY TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT GO BELOW 3RD AND IS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING CAUSING ACCELERATING PROBLEMS, WHEN DRIVING IN GENERAL, AND AM UNABLE TO KEEP A PROPER AMOUNT OF GAS BECAUSE ITS BURING THROUGH DUE TO THIS. I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE BREAKS AND HEADLIGHT ARE ALWAYS A PROBLEM WHETER DRIVING OR IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY!

I FILED A REPORT YESTERDAY AFTER MY SONS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN DRIVE AFTER HE HAD BEEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE TURNING LANE ON THE CITY STREET. HE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVVED UP,BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD, ONLY REVERSE AND PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER THEY PULLED MY TRANNY, TOOK OFF THE FILTER AND PAN, THEY FOUND SOME KIND OF 4 WAY METAL TUBE THAT HAD BROKEN, AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT DRIVE FORWARD. I HAD TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION FILTER AND GASKET, THEY HAD TO DRAIN AND REPLACE THE FLUID, A TRANSMISSION TUBE ASSEMBLY, AND NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH COST ME $602.25. ALSO, MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S SCREWED UP. AFTER ALL THE MONEY I SPENT TODAY, I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON MY SONS CAR. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM A PRIVATE SELLER ON JULY 30, 2019 FOR MY 18 YEAR OLD SON AND WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN I HAPPENED TO LOOK UP THIS CAR AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JULY 2019. CAME HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE CAR ONLY TO FIND THERE WERE 5 RECALLS.

AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, OR ANY OTHER GEAR IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE SHIFT LEVER MOVES INTO THE POSITIONS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR REMAINS IN A NUETRAL POSITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT ALLOW ANY MOVEMENT. WITH THAT THE CAR IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD, OR REVERSE DEPENDING ON THE LEVELNESS OF THE AREA IT IS PARKED IN. ONCE THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF, THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THE ENGINE TRIES TO START, BUT WON'T. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE CAR WILL START AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE AGAIN.

PULLED 2008 G6 INTO MY DRIVEWAY. PUT IT IN PARK, WENT TO EXIT AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. MY HUSBAND APPLIED THE BREAKS AND FOUND THAT THE SHIFTER WAS NOT DOING IT'S JOB. WE HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT START. THE TRANSMISSION CABLE SEPARATED.

MY CAR ROLLED BACKWARD WHILE IN PARK WHEN BEING REMOVED FROM THE BACK OF A TOW TRUCK. I PARKED MY CAR AND WHEN I RETURN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED AND THAT IS WHEN IT ROLLED OFF THE TOW TRUCK WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK. I BELIEVE FOR SOME REASON THE CAR WAS IN GEAR (REVERSE). THE CAR THEN START AND APPEARS TO FUNCTION WITHOUT ISSUE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND 2009 G6 WERE RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE AS WELL AS SATURN AURA. THESE CARS USE THE SAME COMPONENTS AS THE 2008 G6. FORTUNATELY MY EXPERIENCE HAD NO CONSEQUENCE MAINLY BECAUSE I PARKED MY CAR ON LEVEL GROUND. I NOW CONSIDER THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I WILL NOT USE THE CAR UNTIL I HAVE SOMEONE INSPECT THE CAR.

WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE IS POTENTIALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT CABLE. OF THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN SHUT OFF THEN THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. UNFORTUNATELY THE POTENTIAL.ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT CABLE IS IT MAY LOOK.LIKE THE CAR IS IN PARK BUT MAY NOT BE. LEADING TO THE CAR POSSIBLY ROLLING AWAY AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND RECALLS FIXED .THIS NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THESE CARS.

ON ACCELERATING FROM 0 TO 20 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, WHEN LETTING OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT, WHEN RE-ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THE ENGINE RACES TO 7000 RPM, THEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AT ABOUT 5000 RPM AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK FORWARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/30/12, 3/5/13, 8/19/13, 9/12/13. DIAGNOSIS CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM AND THE TECHNICIAN TELLS ME I AM "TRICKING" THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I DE-ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM FROM 30,000 MILES TO CURRENT MILEAGE OF 47,000 MILES. RECENTLY, I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT ABOUT 25MPH AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I ACCELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE ENGINE RACED TO 7000 RPM. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE REAR. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OPERATING IN THIS ERRATIC MANNER. I DO NOT BELIEVE TRANSMISSIONS ARE ENGINEERED TO ALLOW A DRIVER TO "TRICK" THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ COMMENTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE VEHICLE THAT A SIMILAR PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE COULD BE A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR.

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER HAD JUST COME OUT OF A RESTAURANT. MY WIFE STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT INTO REVERSE, AND BACKED UP TO EXIT THE LOT. WHEN SHE PUT THE CAR INTO 'DRIVE', THE SHIFT INDICATOR WAS CORRECTLY POSITIONED ON THE CONSOLE BUT THE CAR REMAINED IN REVERSE. MY WIFE TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, BUT WAS UNABLE BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF REVERSE. SHE ENDED UP SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND WITH THE HELP OF A COUPLE OF STRANGERS, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUSH IT INTO AN EMPTY SPACE. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE, IT WOULD NOT RESTART WHEN SHE TRIED. SHE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CAR IN THE LOT OVERNIGHT AND HAVE IT TOWED THE NEXT MORNING. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY, MY WIFE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO HIM. HE OPENED THE HOOD, REACHED DOWN AND ADJUSTED A PLASTIC MOUNTING SNAP AND THEN HAD MY WIFE TRY TO START THE CAR. SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT IT INTO 'PARK' AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG AND TOLD HER THAT G6'S WERE PRONE TO THIS PROBLEM AND HE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ITEM OUT FOR IT (GM RECALL 14152). MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR TO FLOW GM AUTO SERVICE OF WINSTON-SALEM AND THEY HAD THE BRACKET AND CABLE IN STOCK AND INDICATED FURTHER THAT THERE WAS, INDEED, A RECALL FOR THAT SAME ISSUE ON 2008 PONTIAC G6'S BUT THE VIN OF OUR CAR WAS NOT IN THE LIST, SO THE RECALL WOULD NOT BE IN EFFECT. IN OTHER WORDS, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAYFOR IT OURSELVES. THE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF OUR CAR MATCHES THE FAULT FOR 2008 PONTIAC G6 AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. HAD MY WIFE BEEN BACKING OUT AT A FASTER SPEED, OR INTO TRAFFIC, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET REIMBURSED.

CAR IS A 2008 PONTIAC G6 GXP - THE CAR IS CALLED CYBIL DUE TO IT'S ISSUES GOING ON ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 128 MILES ON IT. LATEST ACTIVITY IS THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE RADIO SCREEN SCROLLING LOW ENGINE POWER AND SERVICE ESC. IF YOU TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER IT WOULD SEEM TO RUN RIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND 3 CYCLES LATER GO OFF. ONCE OFF IT WOULD STALL AND LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WOULD GO OFF AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOR 10 DAYS IN A ROW AND ON THE 10TH DAY THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY ON BUSY MAIN ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR. MANAGED TO GET THE CAR STARTED, MOVED OFF THE ROAD, AND TOWED TO A CERTIFIED DEALER. DEALER TOOK 3 HOURS ($360) TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR DUE TO GENERIC CODE OF P0651 SHOWING UP. AT TIME DEALER MOVED THE CAR INTO THEIR FACILITY ALL THE WARNINGS AND LIGHTS HAD ALREADY RESET AND DIDN'T PRESENT THEMSELVES. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED HISTORY CODES FOR THE BRAKE PEDDLE SENSOR (WHICH HAS GONE OFF BEFORE AND WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE THE RECALL NOTICE AND OTHER $$ SPENT FIGURING OUT WHY TAIL LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF AT THEIR OWN WILL) OTHER WAS CAM SHAFT SENSOR (WHICH I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON) AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR WHICH I SEE NO COMPLAINTS ON. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR FOR THE 2.2 AND 2.4, BUT NOT THE HIGH FEATURE L7Y - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF GM KNOWS THE SENSORS ARE SHIFTING AND PUSHING INTO SOMETHING THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX. I AM LUCKY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ONE OF THESE STALLING ISSUES HAPPENED. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER WAITING ON PARTS TO ARRIVE TO THE TUNE OF $700 - NO CHRISTMAS THANKS TO GM. THE BRAKE PEDDLE SENSOR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE TAIL LIGHTS AND IT IS NOT. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAM SENSOR ISSUE AND MAKE THEM EXTEND THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL TO INCLUDE THE PEDDLE SENSOR! *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW. ALL SERVICE WORK WAS PERFORMED ON TIME. 6T70 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. NO WARNING AND SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. NONE OF THE DRIVE GEARS WOULD WORK. LUCKY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A SECONDARY ROAD AT 45 MPH AND COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED! TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY WANTED $800 TO DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. CALLED GM CUSTOMER RELATIONS, BUT THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. CAR HAD 5 YEAR 100K WARRANTY, BUT MY CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE WAS TOO OLD. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $3300 FROM A PRIVATE SHOP. GM PRODUCTS ARE TERRIBLE.

LOOKING ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A FAULT ON THE G6 THAT MUST BE REPAIRED FREE. CONKLIN REPLACED THIS WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION FROM US AND DID NOT WANT TO RELEASE THE CAR WITHOUT PAYMENT.

I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6 THAT CONSTANTLY HAS ISSUES WHERE THE LOW BEAM BULBS WILL BURN OUT. IT KEPT GETTING WORSE AS I WAS REPLACING THEM EVERY 8-9 MONTHS. I JUST WENT TO GO TAKE OUT THE BURNED ONE THE OTHER DAY ONLY TO FIND THAT THE WHOLE SOCKET THE BULB IS CONNECTED TO WAS COMPLETELY MELTED ALONG WITH A NASTY BURN SMELL EMITTING FROM THE BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THANKFULLY GM GAVE ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SURROUNDING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SO MY CAR IS BEING FIXED MY A LOCAL GM SHOP THIS COMING WEEKEND. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE OTHER G6 OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE PONTIAC G6 CARS AND GM NEEDS TO REIMBURSE EACH OF US FOR THE FULL PRICE WE PAID ON THESE VEHICLES. OF YOU COMPARE THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS ON THIS CAR VS ALL OTHER CARS ON THE MARKET, THIS ONE BY FAR HAS THE MOST COMPLAINTS ON THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY SITE. OF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD BUY A NEW CAR THAT IS NOT AMERICAN. I HATE MY CAR SO MUCH. I HATE GM FOR MAKING ME DRIVE SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THERE ARE TWO RECALLS STILL PENDING (ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP) INVOLVING THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE AND SHIFT CABLE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR EITHER RECALL. THIS IS SUCH BS. ALSO, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ME A LOANER TO ADDRESS THE RECALLS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THEY MUST PROVIDE ONE. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND, CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND KEPT MISSING GEARS. RPMS WERE UP, EXHAUST WAS UP BUT CAR WOULD NOT CATCH AND WHEN I WAS GOING TO PARK MY CAR IN THE GARAGE MY CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE AT ALL, SO I HAD TO PUSH IT INTO THE GARAGE. UPON SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL PONTIAC G6 OWNERS, IT IS SAID THAT THE 3,5 R WAVE PLATE WAS VERY WEAK, WHICH MADE THIS TRANSMISSION PRONE TO FAILURE IN GM PRODUCTS. UPDATED WAVE PLATES WERE RELEASED FOR CLUTCHES IN 6T70, THE OLD DESIGN WAVE PLATES WEREN'T STRESS RELIEVED AND COULD BREAK WITH USE. FOR IT JUST BEING A $10 PART THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT I WOULD NEED TO GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COSTS 2-3K. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *JS

WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I STOPPED AND TRIED TO PLACE IT IN DRIVE WHEN THE SHIFTER SUDDENLY DROPPED STRAIGHT DOWN AND THE CAR STARTED COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. HITTING THE BREAKS AND E BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. MY FRIEND AND HIS NEIGHBOR CAME AND HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. FRIEND WHO'S A LICENSED MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR, CHECKED THE SHIFTED AND MENTIONED THE LINK CABLE HAD SNAPPED WHICH IS WHY THE CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER SINCE IT'S STUCK IN REVERSE. THE SHIFTER WILL NOT PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO PARK . DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH I FOUND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE MODEL OF CAR (14152) BUT GM HAS NOT PLACED MY VIN AS A CONCERN. *JS

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPT AFTER BEING STRANDED FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND HAVING MY CAR TOWED THEY STATED IT WAS JUST A BAD BATTERY AND NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION CABLE AND RELEASED MY CAR TO MY FATHER WHO IS NOT THE LEGAL OWNER, NEVER EVEN SPOKE TO ME. THE NEXT DAY I WAS STRANDED AGAIN WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE COLD. HAD MY CAR TOWED AGAIN TO THE SERVICE DEPT WHERE THEY FINALLY LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION CABLE. ARGUED WITH ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH I KNEW IT WAS. I PAID FOR IT TO BE FIXED $467.41. THEY RELEASED MY VEHICLE TO ME SEVERAL DAYS LATER AS THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE FOR A FEW DAYS TO LOOK AT THE CAR. RELEASED THE FIRST TIME UNFIXED AND UNSAFE AND NOT EVEN TO THE LEGAL OWNER WHICH IS A HUGE LIABILITY. I TOOK MY CAR TO LES SWAB AND PAID OVER $100 FOR A NEW BATTERY THAT WASN'T NEEDED ONLY TO BE STRANDED AGAIN THE VERY NEXT DAY. WHEN WE TOOK MY CAR IN THE FIRST TIME WE TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG DUE TO THE RECALL I FOUND ONLINE AND THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION CABLE PER THE SERVICE MANAGER. THIS WHOLE PROCESS TOOK ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF. THEY DID PROVIDE ME A RENTAL CAR FOR 3 DAYS WHICH THEY COVERED. THIS WAS A VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION AND NO ONE BELIEVED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. RECALLS SHOULD REALLY BE PUT OUT ASAP AS I HAPPENED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE OF THE RECALL. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND HAVE BEEN TOLD I SHOULD CONSULT WITH A LAWYER FOR RELEASING MY CAR UNFIXED, UNSAFE AND NOT TO THE LEGAL OWNER. I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR MY TIME, STRESS AND THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR RELEASING MY VEHICLE UNSAFE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 5 MILES IN APRIL WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT AROUND 5500 MILES, THE CAR FIRST STALLED. IT STARTED BACK UP THAT DAY WITHOUT ISSUE AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. AFTER THAT, IT WOULD STALL MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAPPENED UP UNTIL ABOUT 6200 MILES. AFTER THAT, I WAS GETTING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, REDUCED ENGINE POWER(WHICH WAS VERY SPORADIC), SERVICE TRACTION, AND ENGINE LUGGING. IT CONTINUED TO STALL 3 TIMES A WEEK OR SO. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE NEXT TIME WHICH WAS JUST LAST WEEK, THEY REPLACED THE MAF SENSOR. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR 4 DAYS AND IT AGAIN, STALLED AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A STATE HIGHWAY. IT TOOK 8 CRANKS TO RESTART. IT WAS FINE FOR 2 DAYS, THEN ACTED UP AGAIN YESTERDAY. IT DIDN'T STALL, BUT THE SERVICE TRACTION, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. ONSTAR HAS GIVEN ME CODES FROM THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL.

THEY INDICATED THAT SOMETHING HAD SEVERED THE WIRES AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. WHY WOULD TWO WIRES BE LEFT UNSHIELDED FROM THE ELEMENTS? THE DEALERSHIP VIA MY REQUEST RECEIVED AN ONE TIME CUSTOMER GOODWILL WARRANTY APPROVAL. I HAD THE MECHANIC SHOW THE AREA IN QUESTION. HE HAS REINFORCED THE WIRES WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. IT APPEARS TO BE A GREAT REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE MANUFACTURE DID NOT DO THIS ORIGINALLY. ERROR CODES PO722, COOOO AND PO700. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DESIGN WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS. AND COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE WIRING IS SEVERED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR
