Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING UP AN INCLINE ON I-287 IN NJ WHEN MY RPM'S SKYROCKETED AND BY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AS FLASHED. MY CAR BEGAN LOSING SPEED AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL DUE TO A LOSS OF TRACTION. UPON A VISIT TO MY MECHANIC IT WAS FOUND TO BE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THE G6 FROM 04-10 HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM BUT YET GM HAS FAILED TO MAKE A RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THE SITUATION. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT NARROWLY. IF MY CAR HAD STALLED LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE READ ABOUT WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR
