Description of the problem	I would like to inquire as to whether there are any ongoing investigations and possibly any recalls for the pontiac g6. We purchased a g6 in august 2009 and recently started experiencing several different issues. I have googled the issues we are experiencing and am finding that these particular issues have been around since the 2005 g6 and all seem to be connected to a malfunctioning door latch mechanism affecting one and/or all door latching mechanisms. These are serious safety features that in my opinion would warrant a recall, specifically, the door locks malfunctioning. I do plan to take my vehicle in to be serviced at the local harry robinson gmc/pontiac in fort smith ar. The cost for assessment is $80 and between $100 & $200 per door mechanism if more than 1 is affected, with the driver side part being the most expensive. Of course labor is another $75 per hour. 2008 pontiac g6 4 door. Door ajar light will not go off. The automatic locks do not lock and unlock the doors. All doors do not lock when the car is shifted into gear. The driver side door must be manually locked inside everytime, the other 3 must be manually locked occasionally. (this means the standard child safety feature is not working!) the radio will at times stay on after the vehicle is turned off and after the door is opened and shut. - intermittent (must occasionally manually turn radio off after exiting vehicle) the ignition chimes will occasionally not go off after starting the vehicle - intermittent the interior light will not go off - must manually turned this off with switch. (impossible to back the vehicle safely at night with the interior light on!) the driver side door would not shut after entering the vehicle - intermittent - there were no blockages - (fix was to hold interior door latch in open position and flip the mechanical part of the latching mechanism back up with wrench) i look forward to your response!
