Pontiac G6 Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Apr 06, 2010
Reported on Apr 06, 2010
| I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2007; IT IS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. HEARD A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE CAR; THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT PASSED ALL POINT INSPECTION; WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE STEERING RANDOMLY LOCKED UP OR JUST DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. FINALLY WENT TO AMMACO TO GET A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RACK AND PINION STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT WHICH CAUSED DEFICIENT WHEEL ALIGNMENTS, WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS TO PREMATURELY WEAR OUT, WHICH CAUSED MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. ALSO MY FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE IMPACTED AS WELL. THE MECHANICS WERE SURPRISED THAT I OR MY FAMILY WASN'T DEAD SINCE TECHNICALLY I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR BY WAY OF STEERING. I AM OUT CLOSE TO $2000.00 BECAUSE THIS WAS FOUND OUT AFTER THE WARRANTY LAPSE (OF COURSE). THANKS GM. *TR | |
