Pontiac G6 Air Bags Safety Report | July 19, 2006
Reported on July 19, 2006
| MY CAR EVERY TIME I TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT MY TIRES WOULD MAKE A SQUEALING SOUND, SO MY HUSBAND THOUGHT I NEEDED MY TIRES ROTATED, I TOOK IT DOWN TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED BUT HE (SALES PERSON) TOLD ME THAT MY TIRES WERE FINE. WELL I WAS GOING TO WORK AT 6:00 A.M MY CAR STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT SO I WENT OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO GET MY CAR BACK ON THE ROAD BUT MY TIRES LOCKED UP OR SOMETHING B/C MY CAR STARTED TO SPIN IN CIRCLES, I TRIED TO GET CONTROL OF MY CAR BUT BEFORE I KNEW I HIT A TREE. WHAT SCARED ME THE MOST WAS THAT MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOYED, I HAD FRONTAL AND SIDE DAMAGE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR WHAT BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE GETTING ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE GAP INSURANCE. I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT IF MY SALES PERSON WOULD HAVE MENTIONED IT TO ME. NOW I HAVE TO PAY 3000.00 TO PAY THE REST OF A CAR THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE BEFORE I CAN GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A SCARY SITUATION I DON'T WANT PITY I JUST WANTED TO LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *JB | |
