Pontiac G6 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Nov 27, 2012
Reported on Nov 27, 2012
| 2 DAYS IN A ROW I HAVE BEEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, AND A ALERT CHIME SOUNDS. PONTIAC HAS RECALLED OTHER MAKES/MODELS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THE 2006 G6 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. MY CAR IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE. WHY IS PONTIAC NOT BEING REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY CARS? 2 MONTHS AGO I CONTACTED PONTIAC BECAUSE MY CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE GAS LINE. THIS WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PLASTIC PART IN THE FUEL PUMP. AGAIN, PONTIAC HAD A PARTIAL RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PART, AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER MODELS, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 G6. SINCE LEAKING FUEL IS A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY I WAS FORCED TO GET THIS FIXED, AND PONTIAC DID NOT REIMBURSE OR HELP WITH THE COST. AGAIN, WHY IS PONTIAC NOT BEING REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY CARS THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO THE FAMILIES WHO ARE DRIVING THEM? *TR | |
