Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 PONTIAC G6 BASE MODEL 4 DOOR 2.4L. AT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES I STARTED GETTING BRAKE PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED THE BRAKES TURNED AND GRINNED. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DO THAT BECAUSE OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND WHEN THEY GOT THEIRS TURNED AND GRINNED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OCCURRED THEREAFTER. NOW (@24,000) I HAVE WARPED BRAKES, WORN OUT PADS, AND A DEFECTIVE WORN OUT I-SHAFT(STEERING ROD). I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE ROTORS IN THE REAR, REPLACED ALL PADS AND GRINNED AND TURNED THE REST OF THE ROTORS. THEY CLAIMED MY CAR WAS FIXED BUT THE SECOND I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME WARPING NOISE WAS APPARENT COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I WAS STILL HEARING THE CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY AMERICANS AROUND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BRAKES AND I-SHAFT. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE LAST WEEK AT ONE POINT WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. I KEPT HITTING IT AND FINALLY IT GAVE IN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND PONTIAC/GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY GET THE SAME PROBLEMS TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH! VIEW WEBSITE TO VIEW CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.(HTTP://M.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/PONTIAC-G6/TG830THJSJTP9BL0T) PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT..THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE TO THIS PROBLEM. LET'S ENFORCE GM TO RECALL THIS MODEL AND CAR SO MANY AMERICANS CAN STOP DISHING OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ONCE FIXED! THANK YOU *TR
