Pontiac G6 Steering Column Safety Report | July 07, 2007
Reported on July 07, 2007
| POWER STEERING HAD BEEN FEELING VERY LOOSE FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE DISPLAY NOTED POWER STEERING . I ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I INITIALLY LOOKED TO SEE IF I NEEDED POWER STEERING FLUID, WHICH I COULD NOT FIND. I THEN LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE TO PUT THE POWER STEERING FLUID FINDING OUT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND DOES NOT TAKE POWER STEERING FLUID. UPON MY RESEARCH INTO WHERE TO PUT THE POWER STEERING FLUID I SAW AN ARTICLE INDICATING THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO A RECALL IN THIS REGARDS. AT THAT TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. THE DEALER STILL HAS THE VEHICLE AND IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. *TR | |
