Reported on Jan 16, 2008
| AS A CONSUMER I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER TO LODGE A COMPLAINT FOR THE CAR/LEMON I HAVE BEEN LEASING. THE TYPE OF CAR I AM LEASING IS A 2007 PONTIAC G6 4 DOOR SEDAN, #. SINCE LEASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE MANY CONCERNS OF NOT ONLY MY OWN SAFETY BUT THE SAFETY OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES SINCE LEASING THIS CAR: 1.REPLACED SIGNAL SWITCH LOCATED ON STEERING COLUMN ON 1/16/08 2.REPLACED RIGHT VISOR FOR MIRROR ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR 1/16/08 3.REPLACED BROKEN CABLE FOR RIGHT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR ON 3/14/08 4.REPLACED STEERING COLUMN ON 7/28/08 5.REPLACED FRONT BRAKES WITH HIGH END PADS ESTIMATED DATE 8/08 6.REPLACED REAR LEFT BULB FOR BRAKE LIGHTS ESTIMATED DATE 10/08 7.ABOUT A MONTH AFTER STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN AGAIN WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. 8.INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN THEY CHOSE TO LUBE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT INSTEAD ON 1/20/09 AND I WILL HAVE TO KEEP COMING IN WHEN THE LUBE WEARS OFF!! REALLY ME HAVING TO COME IN EVERY MONTH OR SO!! THAT WAS THEIR RESPONSE TO ME!! 9.REPLACED RADIO BECAUSE IT DIDN?T COME ON WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR THE DISPLAY WAS BLANK. WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN ON WHEN IT WANTED TO REPLACED ON 1/20/09 ALSO IN RESEARCHING THE STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM SOME PEOPLES STEERING WHEELS HAVE LOCKED UP AND THEY WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS AND SAID IN THERE COMPLAINT DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE GM HAS A RECALL ON THESE CARS?? IT HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE THE FIRST MODEL YEAR 2005 HAS COME OUT. PER DOMINIC TORRES MY SALES REP THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN VERY MANY COMPLAINTS LODGED FOR ANY RECALL. PER DOMINIC IT IS BECAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN IS ELECTRICAL INSTEAD OF USING FLUID AND THE DESIGN WAS CHANGED IN THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. GM HAS CONTACTED ME AND SAID THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO LEASE A NEW CAR TO ME TO REPLACE THIS ONE. IT WILL BE RE-POED SHORTLY. *TR | |
