Pontiac G5 Electrical System Safety Report | Feb 15, 2010
Reported on Feb 15, 2010
| 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 | |
