The contact owns a 2010 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost electric power steering assist. The electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the electric power steering assist needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering); however, the year and the VIN were not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

THE POWER STEERING WARNING AND SERVICE ESC LIGHTS COME ON AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, IT IS A VERY CONCERNING ISSUE. IT STARTED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST LOCKED, ESP WHEN USING THE AUTOSTART. WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN USE THE KEY TO TURN BACK ON. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO DRIVE IT FOR A SHORT TIME, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD STAY LOCKED. THE MOST SCARY PART IS IT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. MY 18 YEAR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY.

WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC WILL BE ON ON THE DASH AND LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I USED TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE OFF. BUT RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING A LOT MORE OFTEN. I WAS PARKED WITH CAR RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING ESC WOULD STAY ON EVEN AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF. THEN THE NO TRACTION LIGHT APPEARED. ONCE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WAS OFF I WOULD DRIVE MY CAR AND TURN IT OFF BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE ON AGAIN SO I CAN'T STEER MY CAR. THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC HAS EVEN TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND HAD FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF 2010 MODELS, AND SOME HAVE EVEN GOT INTO ACCIDENTS AND INJURED. THE 2010 MODELS DO NOT HAVE RECALLS BUT THE 2005-2009 MODELS DO FOR THE SAME REASONS. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER AND NOTIFY ALL WHO HAVE 2010 MODELS.

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2010 MODEL AND ARE GETTING INJURED. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM BEING RECALLED, WHILE ALL OTHER MODELS FROM 2005-2009 HAVE BEEN RECALLED, AND 2010 SEEMS TO BE THE WORSE.

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.

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.
