ON NOV.18TH 2008 A FRIEND AND I WERE ROBBED WHEN A 6FT 5 BLACK MAN GOT INTO THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR. I HAD CRACKED MY WINDOW, BUT WHEN I PUT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 IN PARK ALL OF MY DOORS UNLOCKED. AS LONG AS IT IS IN GEAR ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED, BUT WHEN PUT IN PARK IT UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY. IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT AND I COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO LOCK OR UNLOCK MY DOORS THEN ODDS ARE WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ROBBED OR HARMED. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T GET BACK INTO MY CAR THE DEALER GAVE ME A DIFFERENT NEW CAR. IT IS A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT, AND IT ALSO HAS THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. THIS UNNERVES ME TERRIBLY AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR ALONE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR I HAVE NOW. I KNOW THAT MAYBE ALL VEHICLES ARE NOT LIKE THIS BUT I ALSO HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND IT IS THE SAME WAY, LOCKS WHEN IN GEAR, BUT UNLOCKS FOR PARK. THERE IS NO BENEFIT TO THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, AND THE CAR IS IN GEAR THEN HOW COULD AUTHORITIES GET IN TO THE VICTIM, OTHER THAN BREAKING THE WINDOWS IN? THIS IS A FEATURE THAT SHOULD BE UP TO THE DRIVER OF THE CAR, JUST AS AN AIRBAG SWITCH CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF AT THE DRIVERS WISH, SO SHOULD THE LOCKS. I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS AND ONE WILL BE GETTING LICENSE IN 2 YEARS AND I WANT TO HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT SHE WILL HAVE LOCKED DOORS AT ALL TIMES WHEN SHE IS MAYBE JUST SITTING SOMEWHERE TALKING WITH FRIENDS, OR IS PARKED WAITING ON ANOTHER FRIEND TO ARRIVE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTER,OR MOTHER? THE ROBBERY PUT ME IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 4 WEEKS TO TRY AND GET OVER THE TRAUMA OF THE ROBBERY. I AM STILL TO THIS DAY ON MEDICATIONS AND SEEING A THERAPIST WEEKLY. IF ANYTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF THIS I WANT TO KNOW THAT FOR ALL WOMEN WE CAN DRIVE AND PARK AND STILL BE SAFE. THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY IS NOT A GOOD ONE, AND WE MUST TAKE ALL OF THE SAFETY MEASURES WE CAN TO INSURE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS TO GO THROUGH WHAT MY FRIEND AND I DID ON THAT NIGHT . *TR
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FUEL TANK IS MISSING THE ADHESIVE LAYER THAT BONDS THE BARRIER LAYER TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WITH THIS CONDITION, FUEL AND/OR FUEL VAPORS COULD SEEP OUT BETWEEN THE LAYERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 13, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
