Pontiac G6 Electrical System Safety Report | Oct 06, 2013
Reported on Oct 06, 2013
| I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THERE ARE A FEW COMMON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ALL CONNECTED TO THE STEERING COLUMN APPARENTLY. IT STARTED WITH THE KEY NOT WANTING TO MOVE, FIRST TO START THE CAR AND THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE RADIO FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. THE LATEST IS THAT THE POWER ASSIST STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I'VE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT SITES AND IT SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AND CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M TOLD BY MECHANICS IT IS A PROBLEM IN ALMOST ALL G-6'S IN 2006-2007 THAT HAVE THE POWER ASSIST STEERING. SINCE IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY IS IT NOT BEING RECALLED? *TR | |
