Pontiac G6 Electrical System Safety Report | Jan 13, 2014
Reported on Jan 13, 2014
| (2006 PONTIAC G6 GT) THE FIRST TIME I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY IGNITION & POWER STEERING WAS IN JANUARY OF 2014. I STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I TOWED IT TO A MECHANIC WHICH SAID EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING KNOWING THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. RECENTLY ON MARCH 6 2014 WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ONTO THE RADIO SCREEN. THE POWER STEERING DISABLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER AWAY FROM OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIFYING FEELING KNOWING I HAD NO CONTROL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WHICH THE WHEEL WAS MOVING AND SEEMED FINE TO DRIVE. I PULLED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 35 - 40MPH AND THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL. I STOPPED PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WENT HAYWIRE ALSO MY 6 CD CHANGER CHANGED THROUGH EVERY CD AND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. MECHANICS ARE STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WEEKS LATER, NOW MARCH 30 2014 I STARTED MY CAR AND THE POWEER STEERING IS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND IT IS NOT DRIVABLE. | |
