NHTSA Complaint #10716993 — 2007 PONTIAC G6

MAY 2013 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTING. RESTARTS SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. APRIL 2014 ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER DECELERATING TO DRIVE OVER A SPEED HUMP. WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART AND MUST BE TOWED. TOW TRUCK DRIVER IS ABLE TO GET CAR STARTED BY JIGGLING THE KEY. APRIL 28, 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE WAITING AT STOPLIGHT. WILL NOT RESTART AND MUST BE TOWED. AGAIN, TOW TRUCK DRIVER JIGGLES THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE. APRIL 30, 2015 FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE AND ADJUST LOOSE TRANSMISSION CABLE - $203.25 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. MAY 8, 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER DECELERATING TO DRIVE OVER A SPEED HUMP. RESTARTS SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. MAY 15, 2015 ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE COMING TO A STOP TO LET A CAR IN FRONT TURN LEFT. CAR RESTARTS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. EVERY TIME THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS FAIL AS WELL. FORTUNATELY, EVERY ONE OF THE NEARLY HALF-DOZEN TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED OR WHILE STOPPED. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THIS OCCURRED AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALTHOUGH THE G6 IS NOT INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE 20 MODELS AND 2.6 MILLION CARS RECALLED FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, THE LIKENESSES BETWEEN MY ISSUES AND THESE OTHER CARS ARE STRIKINGLY SIMILAR.
