AT RANDOM POINTS IN TIME MY PONTIAC G6 WILL NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. WHEN YOU PUSH THE PEDAL THE PEDAL WILL GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THEN COME BACK UP. WHEN IT COMES BACK UP IT NORMALLY WILL BE FUNCTIONAL. THE PROBLEM IS IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR MY BRAKES TO BECOME FUNCTIONAL WHICH HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN A FEW ACCIDENTS. THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT 1 A WEEK OR 1 TIME EVERY 2 WEEKS. WHEN IT HAPPENS WHOEVER IS DRIVING IS SCARRED OUT OF THEIR MIND. MY PARENTS DO NOT EVEN WANT ME DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS A DEFINATE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE BREAKS. THEY SAID THE FIRST TIME THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF BREAK DUST. AFTER THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE PONTIAC REP AND THEY HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH NOW WITH NO REPAIRS MADE. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR, HOPING THAT I DON'T HURT MY SELF LET ALONG ANY ONE ELSE. MY CAR IN THE MEAN TIME ALWAYS SQUEALS WHEN YOU BREAK. MY CAR IS A 2008 G6 AND JUST TURNED 10,000 MILES. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES THIS SOON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 PONTIAC G6, AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, NORTHBOUND ON WARD DRIVE, IN THE GOLETA, CALIFORNIA, AREA. WITH NO WARNING OF ANY KIND (I.E. LOUD POP, PULL, OR CAR MOVEMENT), THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR INDICATED TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INDICATED 15 PSI IN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY, WHILE MONITORING THE PRESSURE MONITOR, AND THE TIRE WAS QUICKLY LEAKING AIR UNTIL THE TIRE WAS FULLY DEFLATED. I DID NOT RUN INTO, OR OVER, ANY DEBRIS, CURB OR OTHER OBSTACLE. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SPLIT ON THE INSIDE FACE OF THE TIRE (FACING THE CAR), RIGHT WHERE THE SIDEWALL MEETS THE TREAD AND STARTS TO CURVE AROUND. THE SPLIT STARTED ABOUT 2/3 OF THE WAY FROM THE RIM, AND CONTINUED RADIATING OUTWARD TOWARD TREAD (AS OPPOSED TO ALONG THE SIDEWALL, PARALLEL TO TREAD) ABOUT AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF LONG. IT IS A JAGGED SPLIT. THERE WAS NOT ANY PUNCTURE, PENETRATION, OR CUT IN EVIDENCE. I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO BUY A NEW TIRE, AND IF THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINES THE TIRE FAILED, THEN THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WILL DETERMINE ANY AMOUNT OF REFUND, IF ANY. BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE SPLIT IN THE TIRE SIDEWALL, AND THE LACK OF ANY EXTERNAL INFLUENCING EVENT(S) PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, I BELIEVE THIS TIRE FAILED WITHOUT EXPLANATION. AS ALL FOUR TIRES ARE OF THE SAME PRODUCTION LOT (BASED ON THE DOT #), I BELIEVE ALL FOUR TIRES SHOULD BE EXAMINED AND FULLY TESTED TO DETERMINE IF THE REMAINING THREE TIRES ARE PRONE TO FAILURE AS WELL. AS THIS EVENT OCCURRED AT RELATIVELY SLOW SPEEDS, I FEEL QUITE LUCKY THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED TWO MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, AT FREEWAY SPEED, AND COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. THESE TIRES (HANKOOK, OPTIMO H725A TIRES) NEED TO BE CHECKED ON! *TR

I WAS THEN PULLED OVER BY A STATE POLICEMEN WHO EXPLAINED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STUCK ON; HE HAD ME STOP THE CAR AND RE-START AND HE THEN FOLLOWED ME FOR ANOTHER MILE. AGAIN THE BRAKE LIGHTS STUCK ON. HE ESCORTED ME TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND INSTRUCTED ME TO LEAVE THE CAR TO BE FIXED. I THEN SCHEDULED AN APPT. WITH THE DEALER AND AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR. IT WORKED OUT FINE FOR 3 WEEKS-AS OF THIS AFTERNOON THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOW STAYING ON AGAIN.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UNCONTROLLABLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT IT DOES HAS A BINDING AND ROCKING MOTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESET THE POWER STEERING AFTER ITS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. GM HAS DONE NOTHING AND THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF THE DATE OF THIS POSTING TO REPLACE OR FIX THE DISCREPANCY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT THAT COULD CAUSE A FATALITY IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED AND I PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT SO FAR AND I HOPE THAT THEY TAKE THERE COMPLAINTS TO GM AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT. JUST TO SET THE RECORD MY VEHICLE HAS APPROX 49535 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 30 TIMES WITH IT GETTING WORSE. I SURELY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIX. *TR

May 14, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.

14V224000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission; Power Train:automatic Transmission:lever And Linkage:floor Shift
Apr 30, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on April 29, 2014, that they are recalling 56,214 model year 2007 and 2008 Saturn Aura vehicles. On May 22, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 1,074,899 model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured from May 16, 2003, through October 5, 2007, model year 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured from June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, and model year 2005-2008 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured from May 26, 2004, through September 28, 2007, and equipped with 4-speed transmissions. The total number vehicles being recalled is now 1,131,113.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the PARK position, the transmission may not be in PARK. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and GM dealers will replace the shift cable assembly and mounting bracket, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 14152.

In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will perform one of four bulletins. Parts are not currently available. GM expects to send an interim notification around May 28, 2014. When parts are available, owners will be mailed a second letter to come in to have the applicable bulletin applied. Bulletin 14115 covers model year 2004-2007 Saturn Ion, 2009-2010 Chevrolet HHR and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts. Dealers will replace the EPS motor. Bulletin 14116 covers model year 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, 2005-2006 Pontiac G6 and 2008-2009 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from March 1, 2008, through June 27, 2008. Dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly. Bulletin 14117 covers model year 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from February 1, 2008, through February 28, 2008. Dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly and EPS motor controller unit. Bulletin 14118 covers model year 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from October 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. Dealers will replace the EPS motor controller unit.

Note: GM bulletin number 14119 will be implemented for model year 2006-2008 and early production of 2009 Chevrolet HHR (non-turbo) and model year 2003 Saturn ION to provide EPS Motor replacement for the life of the vehicle.
12V460000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission:gear Position Indication (prndl)
Sep 18, 2012
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Saturn Aura and model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. On these vehicles, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the tabs were to fracture and separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to 'PARK' and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in 'PARK.' The vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer over the cable end or replace the shift cable as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. Notification to owners began on on November 9, 2012. Owners were instructed to not bring their vehicles for repair until January 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.

2EA13005 · Brake Light Switch/sensor Malfunction
Opened Jun 6, 2013 · Closed Jul 1, 2014
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting; Exterior Lighting:brake Lights; Exterior Lighting:tail Lights
On May 14, 2014 General Motors (GM) announced a recall action (14V-252) involving model year (MY) 2004-12 Chevrolet Malibu, MY 2004-07 Malibu Maxx, MY 2005-10 Pontiac G6 and MY 2007-10 Saturn Aura vehicles.An increased resistance can develop in the Body Control Module connection systems and result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS, or brake light switch) circuit that can cause the brake lamps to malfunction.As a result, and according to GM, the brake lamps may illuminate when pedal application is not being applied or may not illuminate when pedal force is applied.Additionally, the cruise control may not engage or if it is engaged it may require increased pedal travel to disengage.Pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of PARK or additional travel may be required to move the shift lever out of PARK. Traction control, electronic stability control (ESC) and panic brake assist features may also become disabled. These failure conditions may increase the risk of a crash.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Engineering Analysis EA13-005 on June 6, 2013 to further investigate complaints alleging that the brake lights did not operate properly on MY 2005-08 Pontiac G6 vehicles.The BAS in these vehicles produces a single analog voltage output proportional to the brake pedal's position.The BAS signal is used by various systems to determine both pedal position and rate of displacement, so a failure or inaccuracy of the signal may affect multiple systems.ODI also received similar complaints on MY 2009 Pontiac G6, MY 2004-11 Chevrolet Malibu and MY 2007-09 Saturn Aura vehicles that use the same BAS.All of these above models were included in the subject vehicle population of ODI's Information Request (IR) letter to GM.Prior to the recall announcement date, ODI received 855 reports of brake light malfunction resulting in one or several of the failure conditions.Eight (8) of the reports alleged crashes, with 1 resulting in an injury. Of these crash allegations, 2 were roll-away incidents, in which the shift interlock was moved out of PARK without pedal application and the vehicle rolled into another object.Three (3) crashes involved rear-end hits, which were believed to be due to brake light reversal.ESC/Traction Control failures were the alleged cause of 2 incidents, which resulted in unresponsive brake application and in 1 case caused the vehicle to leave the roadway.One (1) crash allegation was not counted as the circumstances of the crash were not related to any of the failure modes.ODI notes that it is difficult to determine the actual cause of incidents where brake light reversal or ESC/Traction Control failures were the alleged cause.In response to ODI's IR, GM submitted 2,268 unique reports that related to brake lamp malfunction. Combined with the data submitted during Recall Query 13-001, a total of 4,664 unique complaints were submitted.Twelve (12) of the GM reports alleged a crash, with 2 reporting minor injuries and 4 alleging property damage.Of the 12 reports, 3 involved brake light reversal allegations, 4 involved roll-away incidents and 2 involved ESC/Traction Control malfunctions. ODI did not include three (3) reports that involved allegations inconsistent with the alleged defect. This investigation is closed on the basis of GM's announcement of safety recall 14V-252.The ODI complaints cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID, see the attached list for ODI numbers.
