Mr. Did evasive manuevers at 65 mph to avoid deadly collision with fully loaded senior citizen van by a driver with a cell phone. Steering wheel was very loose, brakes pedals were very easily depressed, none of the front air-bags deployed and car seats did not lock. Mr. Hit median concrete at 60 mph. Ambulance and emergency room dictated, "you all very lucky to have survived." 3rd party administrator(esis) counter claims mr.. that because Mr. Collided with median sideways the air-bags did not deploy. Mr. Argues that front driver portion of car hit median first, air bags should have deployed and seat belts should have locked. 3rd party administrator counters. Because there is no proof we cannot claim such fact. She (3rd party) is insisting on us to sign medical release forms and submit pictures of car. Mr. Has advised that car is repaired and has been sold. Confusion arises when dealer agrees that car has sensors and collision shop did not indicate any sensors. Mr. Is confused whether stabili-trak or some other systems should be in place to have prevented the collision with median and under the tire sensors should have been in place. If any system (stabili-trak or other) were in place, the whole accident could have been prevented.

Gear shift controller gets stuck in drive. Dealership said it was the brake light system, that the lights were not working when pressing the brakes.

Continuous problems with brakes and rotors on this vehicle since it was 3 months old. Have had rotors machined 2 times by dealership so far and the brakes completely failed on Feb 10th of this year and we rear ended a mini van in front of us.. the dealer said that they could not find anything wrong and said there is nothing they could do. Now our rotors are needing replaced at under 18 K miles and the dealer wants a lot to replace them. Have been online looking for other people with the same problem and have seen many people with the same issue. Why won't Pontiac do a recall on this?
