no recalls? is this right?

[nathanf2009]

So after reading the tsb/recalls section I gave Pontiac a call. I asked them of any tsbs/recalls for my car 2009 Pontiac G8 Gt, provided them with my VIN # and the operator told me their were no tsbs/recalls for my car. My thing is i'm experiencing the clicking noise from my steering wheel, It's not that noticeable. But I just don't want any of those other problems I seen on there like the tpms and brakes and such. What would be the best thing to do, goto the dealer and report the clicking noise problem? Also wasn't their a ecm/tcm update as well? Just wondering how to go about all this, never dealt with it before. THanks

When did you get your car? The recalls could have been done before you got it. Also just because there is a TSB dose not mean your car needs it done. TSB is just a guide for the tech for common problems. And yes take the car to the dealer and have them check the clicking out and when you are there asked them to check and see if there are any recalls (not TSBs) needed to be done on the car.

I got it a couple weeks ago...but it was a program car owned by GM. Had 6k miles when I purchased.

I would bet the dealer (at least any dealer worth a crap) did them before you got it.

#08254: Service Update for Inventory Vehicles Only-Automatic Transmission Delayed Downshift-Reprogram Transmission Control Module-Expires August 31, 2009 - (Aug 19, 2008)

This bulletin provides a service procedure to reprogram the Transmission Control Module (TCM) on certain 2008-09 model year Pontiac G8 GT vehicles, equipped with 6.0L V8 (RPO L76 - VIN Y) engine and 6L80E six speed (RPO MYC) automatic transmission. Customers may experience a delay in acceleration or lack of performance from the automatic transmission when applying throttle at low speed, such as when exiting a corner. This may also be described by the customer as a flat spot or delayed shift and generally will be reported at approximately 20-25 MPH (30-40 kmh). Dealers are to reprogram the TCM with revised automatic transmission calibration.

This service procedure should be completed on involved vehicles currently in dealership inventory as soon as possible, but no later than August 31, 2009, at which time this bulletin will expire.

I would request this to be done, because it was not while the vehicle was in dealer inventory, should not be a problem and may help improve the transmission shifting (if you have any concern with it). Your VIN is in the range.

also, inform them of the clicking noise and be ready to duplicate it at least once.

I had the clicking sound, my dealer said they needed parts, ordered them and put them in, and it actually worked, no more clicking when turning the wheel.
