Pontiac G6 Electrical System Safety Report | Oct 06, 2009
Reported on Oct 06, 2009
| I WAS DIVING MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP, ALMOST CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION BY CARS DOING 50 MPH. I WAS JUST SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL MY CAR AFTER THAT HAPPENED ALMOST GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER 2 CARS. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WASN'T UNDER WARRANT SO THEY DID NOT REPLACE IT. THEY SAID IT WORKS FOR NOW BUT IT COULD GO OUT ANYTIME IM DRIVING, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE JUST MY LUCK, ONLY TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAY PROBLEM IN THE SAME YEAR, IN THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME MILEAGE. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED ASAP SOMEBODY WILL GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED BY THIS. I WAS ONLY DOING AROUND 20MPH AND ALMOST GOT HIT THREE TIMES HEAD ON AND FROM THE BACK IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR EVEN TURNING DOWN A SIDE STREET AND LOOSING THE STEERING AND RUNNING UP A CURB ENDANGERING INNOCENT BYSTANDERS. SINCE THESE ARE NEWER CARS THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE CARS OUT THERE THAT HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THIS YET BUT WILL. NOT ONLY PEOPLE DRIVING THESE CARS ARE IN DANGER AT ANYTIME BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE TO. I ALMOST GOT HIT HEAD ON BY A FORD TRUCK HIS LIFE WASIN DANGER JUST AS MUCH AS MINE. HOW THESE CARS ARE NOT RECALLED YET BLOWS MY MIND?????? SO MANY PEOPLE LIVES ARE IN DANGER IM DRIVING A CAR THAT THEY SAID THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. ARE THEY JUST GOING TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE GET KILLED BY THIS IF NOT ALREADY OR COME UP WITH A SOLUTION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE LIVES ARE AT RISK. THESE CARS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND RECALLED ASAP. I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY DON'T MAKE EXTENDED LIVES. RECALL ASAP RECALL ASAP. *TR | |
