My car was involved in the safety recall 12106. I found this information out via internet prior to the recall taking affect by GM. I took my car into the service dept after being stranded for several hours and having my car towed they stated it was just a bad battery and never even looked at the transmission cable and released my car to my father who is not the legal owner, never even spoke to me. The next day I was stranded again with my small children for a couple of hours in the cold. Had my car towed again to the service dept where they finally looked at the transmission cable. Argued with me that my car was not involved in the recall although I knew it was. I paid for it to be fixed $467.41. They released my vehicle to me several days later as they didn't have anyone for a few days to look at the car. Released the first time unfixed and unsafe and not even to the legal owner which is a huge liability. I took my car to les swab and paid over $100 for a new battery that wasn't needed only to be stranded again the very next day. When we took my car in the first time we told them what was wrong due to the recall I found online and they never even looked at the transmission cable per the service manager. This whole process took about a week and a half. They did provide me a rental car for 3 days which they covered. This was a very stressful situation and no one believed me that there was a recall. Recalls should really be put out asap as I happened to have this issue prior to the release date of the recall. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and have been told I should consult with a lawyer for releasing my car unfixed, unsafe and not to the legal owner. I should be compensated for my time, stress and their lack of responsibility for releasing my vehicle unsafe.

Gear shift cable dislodged from the gear shift arm as I was putting the car into park. Car was left in drive and rolled forward to the curb & the car simultaneously shut off and was not able to be restarted. The gear shifter in the inside console was limp and able to move from gear to gear without pressing the release button. When I opened the hood this morning, I could see the plastic eyelet that is supposed to be attached to the inside orifice of the gear shift cable broke off. I keep my parking brake on and shifted the car to drive (with the engine off) and re-attached the gear shift cable to the shift arm. I was then able to shift the car into park and re start the car. In order to make it to the dealer, the gear shift cable is duct taped to the arm so it won't bounce off and stall the car while driving. It seems the 2007, 2009, 2010 models have recalls for this same problem. When will the 2008 be recalled before it is too late? thankfully this happened in my parking lot but if I was on the highway, the car would have lost all power, resulting in danger to myself and other motorists.

Vehicle will not engage in park, must shift into neutral to start vehicle. When gear selector is in the "park" position, vehicle does not actually engage in park and will roll. Parking/emergency brake prevents rolling, but this is a serious safety issue if one forgets to engage parking brake, or if the parking brake ever failed. Dealer states the shift cable and bracket need to be replaced at a cost of $282. This appears to be a problem in other Pontiac G6 model years, and other GM vehicles some of which have been recalled for the problem, why is the 2008 model year not included?

- Kittery, ME, USA

My problems started with the catalytic converter which failed and the dealer told me it was not covered under warranty which I later found out it was up to 100,000 miles. Next my airbag service light keeps coming on and now my traction control comes on and my engine powers down and I slow down at a rapid rate. Yesterday I was going down the interstate at 65 mph and the traction control light came on and the car completely lost all power almost causing me to crash and get hit by a tractor trailer and now it will not start.

- Rockport, WV, USA

Vehicle would not restart in park. After getting the vehicle to start in neutral the vehicle would roll away in park gear. The vehicle would not act as if it was in a correct gear and it did not want to go in reverse. I took my vehicle in to have it service. It was repaired and finally was told that the gear shift cable was replaced. I initially took my vehicle in 9 days (7/25/11( after purchased (7/14/11 purchased date) back to the auto store to tell them my car acts as if I did not want to get gears or it would act ask it wanted to cut off in park. I was told nothing was wrong with my vehicle. After the car would not restart I took it back and told them the car would not start and it was still acting the same from my first visit on 7/25/11. After research, I realized that some 2009 Pontiac G6 were recalled due to gear shift cables. Mines is a 2008 that experience the same problem.

I was taking my grandma to the store, I made a right turn into the lot (5-10 mph tops) when suddenly my car came to an abrupt halt. I got out of my car to find that my right front tire snapped off. It is a 2008 G6 and is only 1 1/2 years old. I did not hit or run over anything. I am very disturbed at the thought of what could have happened had I been on the highway (which I travel very frequently). This is a safety hazard. Please do something before someone gets killed. My car is presently at the shop.

I bought the car brand new with 5 miles in April with the extended warranty. At around 5500 miles, the car first stalled. It started back up that day without issue and without any warning lights so I didn't think much of it. After that, it would stall maybe once a week. This happened up until about 6200 miles. After that, I was getting check engine lights, reduced engine power(which was very sporadic), service traction, and engine lugging. It continued to stall 3 times a week or so. I have had it in twice to the dealership. The first time they could not replicate the issue. The next time which was just last week, they replaced the maf sensor. The car was fine for 4 days and it again, stalled as I was turning onto a state highway. It took 8 cranks to restart. It was fine for 2 days, then acted up again yesterday. It didn't stall, but the service traction, and check engine lights were on. Onstar has given me codes from the air intake system to the throttle control. The dealership itself does a good job and if its not acting up I know that there isn't anything they could do. However, researching the internet I found some GM Yukon having alot of the same issues related to wiring.
