Have there been any Pontiac G5 recalls?
I’m looking for a used sporty coupe, and I’ve got my eye on the Pontiac G5. But I’m not sure about its recall history. Have there been any Pontiac G5 recalls?

Yes, unfortunately. From 2007 to 2010, the
Pontiac G5
—also referred to as the Chevrolet Cobalt
—was subject to six recalls from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).Here are all the NHTSA safety recalls for the Pontiac G5 by recall year:
- 2014: Three recalls, all dealing with the ignition switch moving out of the run position may result in the airbags not deploying or the engine turning off, along with aftermarket replacement ignition switches issues
- 2012: Fuel pump module may crank, causing leakage and increased risk of fire
- 2010: Loss of electric power steering that requires greater effort by the driver at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a car accident
- 2009: Fuel pump module leakage that may increase the risk of fire
The Chevrolet Cobalt hasn’t exactly gotten off scot-free either as the compact car went on to rack up a total of eleven safety recalls from the NHTSA, too!
When you’re shopping around for a used Pontiac G5, you’ll want to keep these recalls in mind and ask the used car dealership or private owner if these issues have been resolved.
