  PONTIAC G5 2007 VIN [XXX] AFTER STEERING WHEEL RECALL REPAIR IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AT BILL STASEK, WHEELING, IL I STARTED TO HAVE KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS ON ROUGH . AFTER THAT I WENT TO OCEAN CADILLAC, BAL HARBOR, FL TO CHECK THE PROBLEM-THE ANSWER WAS THAT "PROBABLY" THE STRUT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $600-$800. I SAID NO. I CONTACTED PONTIAC.COM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY EXPLAINED THAT I NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP-LEHMAN BUICK GMC, MIAMI, FL TO CHECK WITH THEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER RESPONDED THAT THIS IS A "NORMAL KNOCKING NOISE" FROM THE STEERING WHEEL FOR PONTIAC G5 AT ALL!!! THE PROBLEM IS THAT NOISE STARTED AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE IN SEPTEMBER 2010.

• 12/09/2014· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR FUEL LEAKS AND THEY REPLACED THE RECALL ITEMS( FUEL PUMP) ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. I DROVE HOME AND FILLED IT UP TO FIND GALLONS OF GASOLINE POURING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER AFTER HOURS SO THE COULD ENJOY THE GAS LEAK. CALLED THEM TO LEARN THAT THE TANK IS ALSO CRACKED NEAR THE FILL AREA. THEY DIDN'T FIND THIS DURING THE ORIGINAL FIX? VERY LUCK NOT TO HAVE HAD A MAJOR FIRE AND FROM RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK BEING CRACKED WHEN THE FUEL PUMP DELIVERY RECALL IS DONE. THE TANKS ARE CRACKED TOO. SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

• 12/05/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY VEHICLE WAS ONE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE EVER SO OFTEN AND MORE AND MORE THE GAUGES WILL GO CRAZY ALL LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE, POWER STEERING, ANTITHEFT, ETC) WILL ALL GO ON AT ONCE! THIS HAPPENS AS I AM DRIVING IT AND WITHOUT WARNING (ON THE HIGHWAY, OR JUST DRIVING IN THE CITY). THE CAR ACTS AS IF I AM PRESSING THE GAS AND BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME AND I CAN'T STEER THE CAR! THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL AS I KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER CARS THIS IS HAPPENING TO. JUST LOOK ONLINE! THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WHEN I TAKE IT IN AND SOMEONE WILL END UP DYING IF THIS DOESN'T GET RESOLVED. *TR

• 11/25/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  MY CAR GRADUALLY BEGAN SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS CAP, REPLACED IT, AND IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND ONLY BECOME STRONGER SMELLING WHETHER THE CAR IS IN PARK OR DRIVING ON THE ROAD. IT ALSO IS HARD TO START AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS, IT WILL NOT CRANK OVER ON THE 1ST ATTEMPT ANYMORE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON HERE, AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL AND 1000S OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. HOWEVER, BECAUSE I AM IN OHIO AND NOT PART OF THE "RECALL" STATES, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I HAVE CALLED PONTIAC AND THE BEST ADVICE THEY GAVE ME IS TO SEND IT TO A CERTIFIED GM DEALER. AFTER READING POSTS ON HERE, IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE CHARGING THE CONSUMER 500+ FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP AND THAT IS RIDICULOUS SINCE IT IS A RECALL ON THE OTHER CARS WITH THE SPECIFIC VINS. WHAT EXACTLY WILL IT TAKE FOR GM OR PONTIAC TO STEP UP AND SAY HEY WE MADE A MISTAKE ON MOST OF THESE MODELS, NOT JUST THE 69,000 WE RECALLED? *TR

• 11/21/2014· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

HOWEVER, THE DEALER INFORMED HER THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTED, WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE LIGHT TO NO LONGER WORK. *JB

• 11/20/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THE VEHICLE STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS, BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY PUDDLES OR LEAKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THERE WAS A LEAK NEAR THE FUEL PUMP, AND HAD TO REPLACE THE PART RIGHT AWAY DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS VEHICLE DID HAVE A RECALL IN A FEW STATES NEARBY FOR A FAULTY RETURN PORT ON THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND/OR INJURY, I FEEL ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE WARRANTED INTO VEHICLES LOCATED IN OTHER STATES. *TR

  I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS POPPING OUT. WE PURCHASED TWO BRAND NEW VEHICLES, BOTH G5S ON THE SAME DAY. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE CONTROL ARM BUSHING PROBLEMS! THE ONE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE CONTROL BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY REPLACE THEM AT OUR COST. I'M SURE AFTER READING ONLINE COMPLAINTS THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. I WOULD PROBABLY UNDERSTAND IF IT WERE ONE VEHICLE, BUT TO HAPPEN TO BOTH BRAND NEW VEHICLES? THERE IS A PROBLEM!

• 11/12/2013· STEERING

  THE CAR HAS DEVELOPED A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DURING BRAKING THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE POWER STEERING PERIODICALLY IS SPORADIC, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEED. IT FEELS LIKE MANUAL STEERING AND IS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE RACK AND PINION HAS DEVELOPED A GREAT DEAL OF SLACK ALLOWING THE CAR TO WANDER ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS VERY HARROWING. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE COMBINATION OF A MALFUNCTIONING ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR AND THE SLACK IN THE RACK AND PINION IS THE COMBINED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A DANGER TO DRIVE IN IT'S PRESENT CONDITION. ON NOVEMBER 11TH WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THE CAR VEERED SUDDENLY AND CROSSED OVER THE CENTER LINE. IT WAS WINDY AND DURING THE DRIVE, I NOTICED THE WANDERING OF THE VEHICLE INCREASED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I BLOCKED UP THE FRONT END AND THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED THE WHEELS, BRAKES, ROTORS, TIE ROD ENDS, AND THE STEERING. I FOUND THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS GETTING INCREASINGLY SLOPPY. I HAVE PURCHASED THE PARTS AND PLAN TO INSTALL THEM MYSELF, BUT I HAVE LITTLE FAITH THAT THIS INFERIOR STEERING SYSTEM WILL BE A LONG TERM FIX. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR A SYSTEM THAT PUTS THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN GRAVE DANGER IS IMMINENT. NOT ONLY ARE THE OPERATORS AND PASSENGERS OF THESE VEHICLES AT RISK, BUT SO ARE THE LIVES OF THOSE ON THE HIGHWAY THAT MIGHT MEET ONE OF THESE VEHICLES HEAD ON IN A COLLISION. GM BETTER COME UP WITH A REPEAT RECALL TO FIX THESE ISSUES THE RIGHT WAY, OR BUY THEM ALL OFF THE ROAD. I KNOW THIS AFFECTS OTHER MODELS AS WELL. COBALTS, G6S, ETC. WHAT A CLUSTER THAT A COMPANY LIKE GM COULD MAKE SUCH AN EPIC BLUNDER AND NOW TRY TO SWEEP IT OUT WITH A SIMPLISTIC ONE-TIME RECALL THAT PUTS THE SAME INFERIOR QUALITY OF PARTS BACK IN THIS MACHINERY. I'LL BET THE EXECUTIVES AT GM HAVE BEEN SWEATING THIS DEAL, AND RIGHTLY SO. *TR

• 11/03/2014· STEERING

  AFTER 2 REPAIRS ON A RECALL FOR THE STEERING WHEEL POWER I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. GM IS NOT FIXING THE ISSUE BUT JUT PATCHING IT-SO THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND GM ADVISE ME THAT THEY FIXED THE RECALL ALREADY TWICE AND NOT GOING TO FIX IT AGAIN.

• 11/03/2014· AIR BAGS

  OWNING A PONTIAC G5, I WAS PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. AFTER RECEIVING SERVICE FOR THIS RECALL, STARTED EXPERIENCING 'SERVICE AIR BAG' LIGHT AND VERBIAGE ON ODOMETER INTERMITTENTLY. AS OF THIS DATE, 11/03/2014, THE LIGHT AND MESSAGE HAS BEEN COMING ON EACH TIME I START THE CAR, ALONG WITH THE DINGING ASSOCIATED WITH THE MESSAGE, AND STAYS ON THE ENTIRE TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON AIR BAGS ON OVER 8,000,000 CARS, THAT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY AND SHOOT SHRAPNEL INTO THE DRIVER'S FACES, AND AM WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF THEM. *TR

• 11/01/2014· SUSPENSION,POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  WHEN PEP BOYS FIRST REMOVED THE PASSENGER REAR ENGINE CRADLE BOLT BACK IN MARCH, THE FACTORY NUT BROKE OFF FROM BEING WELDED TO THE CAR BODY. WHEN A LOCAL MECHANIC RECENTLY REMOVED THE BOLT FOR RELATED SERVICE, HE SHOWED IT TO ME. THE THREADS ON THE MIDDLE OF THE BOLT SHAFT WERE ALL SEEMINGLY CHEWED UP. THE LOCAL MECHANICS BEST GUESS WAS THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER DRAINS ON TO THAT AREA, WHICH ORIGINALLY WEAKENED THE FACTORY WELDED NUT, AND CAUSING CORROSION ON THE ENGINE CRADLE BOLT. THE BOLT WON'T LAST LONG, AND I HAVE ORDERED A REPLACEMENT BOLT, AT MY EXPENSE, TO REPLACE THE PREMATURELY 'WORN' ORIGINAL BOLT. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MUCH CAN BE DONE TO RESTORE HAVING A FACTORY WELDED NUT TO RECEIVE SAID BOLT. HAD I NOT COMMISSIONED THE ADDITIONAL WORK, I MAY HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE, UNAWARE OF THE BOLT CORRODING AWAY! *TR

  ON OCTOBER 2, 2015 WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE, I ASKED SHAWN THOMAS IF THEY HAD REPROGRAMED MY DOOR TO WORK WITH THE NEW IGNITION CYLINDER THAT WAS REPLACED LAST TIME IT WAS IN FOR THAT RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THAT RECALL SERVICE, THEY GAVE ME MY ORIGINAL PONTIAC KEY AND 2 NEW KEYS TO THE IGNITION. WHEN I DRIPPED IT OFF FOR THE MOST RECENT RECALL (FUEL PUMP LEAK, FUEL TANK LEAK), I WAS TOLD THEY SHOULD HAVE REPROGRAMED MY DOORS TO GO WITH THE NEW IGNITION AND THEY WOULD DO THAT WHILE IT WAS IN THIS TIME. IT WAS ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY DID REPROGRAM BUT THEY DID NOT. THEY MADE ME ANOTHER KEY FOR THE IGNITION (NOT SURE WHY I WOULD NEED ANOTHER IGNITION KEY. SO NOW I HAVE 3 IGNITION KEYS AND 2 DOOR KEYS (5 TOTAL KEYS) AND 2 KEY FOBS WITH REMOTE START THAT WAS A FEATURE THAT I HAD PURCHASED ORIGINALLY WHEN PURCHASING MY CAR THAT NO LONGER WORK SINCE THE IGNITION CYLINDER HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I ASKED SHAWN IF IT WAS REPROGRAMED HE TOLD ME YES THAT IS WHAT THE RECEIPT SAID. WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR, IT CLEARLY HAD NOT BEEN REPROGRAMED AND WHEN I WENT IN TO ASK SHAWN ABOUT IT, HE WENT AND CALLED THE 'MANAGER' WHO SAID THAT THEY TALKED TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE IF THEY REPROGRAMED IT. I NEVER HAD THIS CONVERSATION AND THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES THAT THEY WILL REPROGRAM MY DOORS TO GO WITH MY IGNITION AND THE FOBS SHOULD BE PROGRAMED FOR REMOTE START AS WELL AS THAT IS A FEATURE I HAD. SHAWN TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 2 HOURS LABOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO TAKE DOOR PANEL APART AND IT WAS $165/HR. THAT WOULD BE $357.23 WITH TAX FOR SOMETHING THERE SHOULD NOT BE A CHARGE FOR UNDER RECALL.

I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AFTERWARDS AND FOUND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED GM, THEY STATED MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I JUST THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT I AM SEEING OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE BEING TOLD THE SAME THING ABOUT VIN SPECIFIC. IS IT NOT POSSIBLE SOME VINS WERE LEFT OUT? *TR

  STEERING GETS SO HARD, I AT 220LBS CAN BARELY STEER THE CAR GOING FORWARD OR REVERSE. MY DAUGHTER IS LEARNING ON THIS CAR FOR HER LICENSE BUT I AM NO LONGER LETTING HER DRIVE IT SINCE THE STEERING RANDOMLY GETS HARD AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS HAVE COME ON ALSO. IT ALSO SAYS IN THE INFORMATION SECTION TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE FROM GM FOR THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY KILL PEOPLE. *TR
