“HAD CAR FIXED WITH DEALERSHIP FROM A RECALL INVOLVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY IN 2009. RECENTLY THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAS BEEN OCCURRING, IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL ISSUE. I.E. BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WHILE DRIVING AND DO NOT FUNCTION WHILE BRAKING. WHEN BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS IT WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE RECALL AND IS PROBABLY ANOTHER ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL ISSUE AND WANT ME TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. *JS”

“YESTERDAY WHILE TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT, MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A STEERING COLUMN NOTICE SHOWING ON THE RADIO DASH COLUMN. I THOUGHT IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. IT DIDN'T. I WAITED ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN TO SEE IF THE ISSUE HAD RESOLVED ITSELF. (THIS ALSO HAPPENS WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. SOMETIMES IN THE EARLIER MORNING WHEN IT IS COLD, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL APPEAR UPON FIRST TURNING THE VEHICLE ON. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARS.) I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP.

I AM REALLY SURPRISED THAT JUST ABOUT 90% OF FOLKS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STEERING COLUMN, THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND IS NOT LISTING A RECALL. WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, OF COURSE THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE THE REPAIRS THEY HAVE COMPLETED ON STEERING COLUMNS WERE MINIMAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY CAR, I…”

“MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON UNTIL I PUSH MY BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, THEN THEY TURN OFF. MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOW WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO UNTIL MY BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. *TR”

“MY 2005 G6 BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON 24/7 VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK. I CANNOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE POSITION OF THE PEDAL IS AFFECTING EVERYTHING. IT'S UNSAFE! THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY $300.25 TO REPLACE THE BCM. NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG BUT WHAT THEY STATE IN THE RECALL PAPERS. WHY DO I HAVE TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY RECALLED?? *KB”
