2005 PONTIAC G6 - WATER POURS FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SPLASHING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND DRIVER WHICH IS AS UNEXPECTED AS A CHILD RUNNING IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE. THE SUDDEN DOWNPOUR MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY LOOK UP TO SEE WHERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM.. NOBODY WAS INJURED IN MY INCIDENT HOWEVER, THE WATER IS COMING FROM THE DRAIN TUBES FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR WHICH HAVE A TENDANCY TO BECOME DISCONNECTED. I AM TOLD THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD BUT A DRIVER DOES NOT EXPECT TO BE SUDDENLY SOAKED BY WATER WHEN DRIVING A CAR AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO BECOME RECKLESS WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY TO A VEHICLE OR A PERSON IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY HAZARD. OTHER...

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. YESTERDAY WHILE LEAVING A PARKING GARAGE THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND AS I WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN (5-8MPH). I NEARLY RAN INTO A PILLAR IN THE PARKING GARAGE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY, BUT THE POWER STEERING LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SOME TIME, I CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A FEW OF THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED WHILE PEOPLE WHERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING AROUND A TURN OR JUST SWITCHING LANES. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR INDUSTRY WANT US TO STICK BEHIND AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS BUT...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE, THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT FORCE. THE HEATING ELEMENT FROM THE DEFROSTER CAUSED THE GLASS TO SHATTER. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DEFROSTER AND RADIO WERE ACTIVATED SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE RADIO WOULD SHORT CIRCUIT AND CAUSE INTERMITTENT STATIC. THE DEFROSTER WAS NOT CLEARING THE CONDENSATION FROM THE REAR GLASS SURFACE SUFFICIENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 72,464.

MY 2005 PONTIAC G6'S DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAD AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WHICH CAUSED SMOKE TO COME FROM THE HEADLINER AREA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE THEN AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A PART TO COME IN. THE DEALER SUSPECTS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT DUE TO THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART. I SUSPECT THAT THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE STARTED A SERIOUS FIRE. *NM
