Pontiac G6 Electrical System Safety Report | Nov 11, 2009
Reported on Nov 11, 2009
| I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I WAS MAKING A LEFT ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME, SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. UPON MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ALMOST EVERY MORNING WITHOUT FAIL. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN AND I NOTICE THERE'S A SCRAPING OR SCRUBBING SOUND WHEN I BEGIN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ASAP. I KNOW THEY DON'T WANT A LAWSUIT WHICH COULD RESULT IF THIS ISN'T RESOLVED IF , GOD FORBID, SOMEONE IS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL OR WHERE YOU'RE AT WHEN IT FAILS. THE GOVERNMENT OR GM NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING SOON! *TR | |
